Progressive Republicans versus Constitutional Republicans today's topic at Constitution Breakfast in Menifee, California

By Douglas V. Gibbs

A few elections ago I came across a story in the Riverside Press Enterprise where Republican Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack referred to herself as a "Progressive Republican."  A number of other Congress Critters, though they are careful to not refer to themselves as such, also hold to the progressive model of politics, which is a bigger government concept that drives towards a more collective society.  The needs of the community outweigh the freedoms of the individual, according to these people.  And what is scary about it is that it is nothing new in politics, and definitely nothing new in the Republican Party.

In today's presentation I will retrace the steps of the concept called The General Will, which Alexander Hamilton, who fought in the Revolutionary War, and was present at the Constitutional Convention, promoted.  We will discuss how those ideas evolved, and ultimately married with the socialist movement of the late 1800s, and eventually became a force determined to dismantle our Constitution, and fundamentally change the individual principles that make up the foundation of our government, culture, and American System.

Join us for a buffet breakfast, only $10 per person, at Boston Billie's in Menifee.  The event begins at 9:00 AM, and should run for a few hours.  A Question and Answer period will follow my presentation.
