Civil Order

Police Accountability

Another Police Officer has been tried, and convicted, for

actions resulting from the performance of her duties.

How can we ever hope to have Peace and Security in our

lives when the Police are looked upon as Criminals, and

the Criminals are looked upon as Heroes? How can our

Law Enforcement Officers perform their duties when they

are threatened with Arrest, Trial and Imprisonment for any

mistakes they might make while on duty? When will we

take a stand against the anger and hostility that is guiding

our Society and demand a more realistic attitude towards

those who Protect and Serve us? When will we decide to

support our Police and provide them with the Legal Pro-

tection necessary for them to do their work?

Curfew

We have a Constitutional Right to peaceably Assemble and

to petition the Government for the redress of our grievances.

But we do not have the Right to Riot; to damage Public or

Private Property, to set Fires, to engage in Looting, or to

attack our Law Enforcement Personnel.

When there is Anarchy in the streets and it is unsafe to live

in, or to conduct Business in, our Cities -- something must

be done to restore Civil Order.

A Night Time Curfew (from 8 P.M. to 6 A.M.) would help us

regain control of the situation while still allowing those

with grievances the opportunity to express their views.

We need to protect both -- the Right to Protest and a stable

Society. A limited Curfew would accomplish this.

Our Elected Public Officials (from the Mayor to the Governor,

up to the President) have all taken an Oath to uphold the

U.S. Constitution and to enforce its Laws. They are the ones

who are responsible for maintaining Public Order. It is their

Duty to establish Curfews when necessary.

Moral Guidance

There was a time when America was strong ...

When we knew the difference between Right and Wrong

and we had a high Standard of Morality to guide our

actions. A time when we were Mutually Dependent upon

each other to maintain our Social Order and we didn't

need the Government to show us the way. And, most

importantly, it was a time when the Family served as the

Heart of the Community and we thought of our Family as

a Haven and a place of shelter that would protect us from

all the cares of the world.

It was our Faith that made us strong.

It was a time when the Bible served as the Well Spring for

all of our actions and we would find solace and inspiration

in its message of Peace and Love. It was the Bible that had

helped to guide us before and it is the Bible, and it's Ageless

Wisdom, that can take us home again. Hopefully, there will

come a day when there will be a new awakening of the

American Spirit and a rebirth of our Social Consciousness.

A day when we have returned to our Ethical Roots and we

will become, once more, the last best Hope for all Mankind.
