The Promises One Makes When Taking an Oath of Office

Honorable “Oath of Office” Responsibilities, Powerful and Important Reminders by We the People, for elected representatives and public officials, Concise, Direct, Unarguable, Urgent, Compelling:
3/5/13. BILLS OF RIGHTS ARE INVIOLATE, NOT STATUTE, NOT SUBJECT TO MISINTERPRETATION, MISCONSTRUCTION OR RECONSTRUCTION, BUT RIGHTS GRANTED TO THE PEOPLE BY "THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND";
NOT PRIVILEGES GRANTED BY THE STATE OR ELECTED OFFICIALS; NOT THEIRS TO TAKE FROM THE PEOPLE.

Colorado State Senators and Representatives: Keep foremost in your deliberations, America’s Organic Founding Documents -- the Declaration of Independence , Colorado and U.S. Constitutions and their incredibly important Bills of Rights; then especially, your sacred Oath of Office, taken to judiciously, tenaciously and continuously honor them. This is the only Oath taken — not to one's self, political party, business, family, friends, lobbyists, etc.,  only to “support and defend” (not ignore  or breach) “The Supreme Law of the Land” -- Colorado and U.S. Constitutions.


Oath of Office

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States (and Colorado) against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
US Constitution -- Bill of Rights,  Amendment II: “ . . . the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Amendment IV: “The right of the people to be secure in their person, houses, papers, and effects . . . shall not be violated . . ."
