Maggie Hope Braun reminds us that triumph is born not from comfort, but from courage. Her stand against global municipal control is not just resistance, it is reclamation. Reclamation of our right to decide, to speak, to live freely in the communities we call home.

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrate

The Lesser Magistrateโ€™s function and duty is to interpose against tyranny and oppression and act as a buffer between unjust law and the people.

The People of our communities are continually harassed and bound by fictitious language perpetrated by public and private actors and the people under their control.

We the People do not accept this behavior in our community.

Citizens are not bound to hold unlimited obedience to civil government actors or to any private actors.

We the People delegate all authority. This is the doctrine of the lesser magistrate.

We the People can and should appeal to the lesser magistrates by saying: We call upon the captains of the guard [judges, police, military, pastors, and others willing to stand] to restore order and depose the wicked tyrants [pm, premier, mla, mayor, council, board, private actors, and the people under their control].

Law

When law and morality contradict each other, the citizen has the cruel alternative of either losing his moral sense or losing respect for the law.

The law has placed the collective force at the disposal of the unscrupulous who wish, without risk, to exploit the person, liberty, and property of others. It has converted plunder into a right, defense into a crime, in order to punish lawful defense. - Frederic Bastiat

Depository

I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.

Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual, but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country. - Thomas Jefferson

Liberty

The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them. - Patrick Henry

Email us. we gave council the opportunity to contact Maggie for a meeting regarding a withdrawal. Sorry Maggie, we had an hr meeting with Mayor Burkett and sec. Alison Gray. Civil but revealing.

This was an excellent presentation. I listened to it when CHP first broadcast it. May the CHP and Maggie Hope Braun gain strength from the Lord as they serve the people of Canada.
