WHO ARE WE?
The mission of CPOWER is to attract, educate, and mobilize our fellow citizens consistent with these core values: Constitutional government and fiscal responsibility.
CPOWER believes that God created all persons equal and He gives them the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. These rights come from God and therefore they cannot be justly taken away or denied. Also, we fully agree that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. This founding statement of our nation is summed up in the opening words of the Constitution “We the People of the United States”. Therefore, as sovereign citizens, we hold the power to appoint elected officials to serve us and guard our safety and goodwill.
Taking our citizenship seriously, CPOWER seeks to educate and motivate our neighbors to become astute and alert citizens who will provide oversight and require accountability of our elected officials. We welcome everyone, regardless of political party affiliation, to attend our meetings. As a group, we closely watch local, state, and national political policies and proceedings and send out updates and alerts without party discrimination. We do not compete with any party and we are not seeking to form another party.
CPOWER formed around 2010 when vast numbers of Americans woke up to the present dangers—coming from within and without our government—that are threatening our Constitution. This grass roots movement was labeled the “Tea Party” in reference to our national founders who rebelled against the King of Britain, and in a written statement (the Declaration of Independence) accused the king of many onerous burdens and flippant decrees such as: “He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. Also, he has imposed Taxes on us without our Consent, etc.”
CPOWER meetings are educational and inspirational. The people who attend are God honoring, hardworking, tax paying, law abiding citizens who vote in the elections. In our meetings, we have learned about local, state, national, and international regulations and laws that are contrary to our rights under the Constitution. As we learn, we begin to see how these regulations are weakening our nation and eating away at our sustenance.
