Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

The Oath of Office: It’s About the Constitution

This is what our elected – Representatives, Senators, and President – are sworn to do:

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States 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.”

The Constitution is the center of this.  Not district, not party, not President, not God.  The Constitution.
