The American conception of natural law entails neither the acceptance nor theendorsement of Christianity and is moreclosely related to Cicero’s conception of natural law.In these postmodern times it might seemunfathomable, intellectually, to argue for America’s return to its natural law foundation, but the only alternative we have to
natural law
is
the will to power
, which is thephilosophy we have been suffering under.Natural law theory is applicable
to
people of all religious faiths or of no religious faith at all
; therefore natural law theory is ideal foruse as an American legal/sociopoliticalphilosophy.No thinking American citizen can responsibly turn away from our civic and moral obligation—our duty—to put our nation upon a propercourse of justice.The intention of the Summer of Justice - 2012- DC is to return our great nation to its originallegal, moral, and philosophical foundations, which are still sound, so that we can begin toestablish peace and justice throughout America. Nonviolently. Nontraditionally.Powerfully.The
Declaration of Independence
clearly states that the abolishment and reformation of government
is
legitimate
when, after a longtrain of abuses, it has become evident thatgovernment has shown itself to beintransigent and has
by design
reduced American citizens under absolute despotism. What America needs today are New Guards who will ensure the American people’s futuresecurity. We cannot continue to allow our corrupt,despotic, militaristic government to remain inpower, because this government will only get worse. It’s time to throw it off, for good!
Summer of Justice
2012 - DC
“
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere
.” ~ M. L. King, Jr.
“
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they areendowed by their Creator with certainunalienable rights, that among these are life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Legal theorists in America today reject
natural law
, as do the Washington politicians;preferring to assert the authority of
positivelaw
alone. But
positive law
, which is simply the legal decisions of a legislature or a court,must, according to natural law theory,
live upto natural law
. Positive law
cannot function properly in isolation from the context of natural law
. As Dr. King, said:
“an unjust law is no law at all
.” A positive law that violates the naturallaw and the moral laws of the universe is nolaw at all. Positive law—the laws passed by legislatures and decided by court decisions--
must uphold natural law in order to be valid
.
The intention of Summer of Justice is toreturn our great nation to its original legal,moral, and philosophical foundations so that we can begin to establish peace and justice.
