If I had the ability to change your charter, I would make it more aligned with the Declaration of Independence, which clearly states that government is instituted in order to protect our inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It does not say that concerns about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be considered as the government goes about its business. “Protection,” not “consideration” is what is mandated. That is what I consider the major problem we in America face today. It is a government which has forgotten what its true purpose is and that its powers, as limited as they ought to be, is only given to it by the consent of the governed.
