What the Show is about and being a Spiritual Politician

Bringing government into alignment with the Lessons of Jesus:

The focus of our show is how to bring government into alignment with truth of our spiritual nature. So America started with the idea we are all, inherently free. We are free to choose, free to live, to breath, and to live our lives as we see fit. Government does not own us; government is just a contractor, providing service.

That framework is in alignment with the spiritual truth that each of us connects to God directly, needing no agency as an intermediary. To be free is to be free in the spirit ans so in the flesh that temporarily holds the spirit.

When Thomas Jefferson said we were all possessed of inherent rights, existing before government he was extending a spiritual truth into a civic form. It is that Mission Statement from the Declaration of Independence we need to keep in mind.

Because we are free and reject, as did Christ, the use of deceit, manipulation or violence we need to be conscious about our relationships with others and find ways to grow into the sense of connection and community that makes us One in Him.

This is especially true for Christians but it is true for everyone else as well.

Nearly every major spiritual viewpoint enunciates the idea that we are connected to each other and should be good to each other. Christians just have an even more exacting mission. Christians are to love every one, treating them as they would Jesus.

Jesus was very clear about how we were to treat others. He did not say that it was alright to be abusive, deceitful, and violent if we used government as our tool and agent. There was no exception, He wanted all of our hearts, minds and souls. Christ did not lay out any plan of government, but left it to the conscience of the individual, the same way He connects to each of us.

We are Americans but we are also members of a human family that connects us to something truly wonderful and immense.

So our job here at the Spiritual Politician is to look at Government as a human tool we use every day. We need to consider if government is working in a way that speaks that common understanding about our connections to each other and, if it is not, we need to change it.

Americans have had many successes over the last 231 years since our founding and, learning from both mistakes and successes we can consider that question. So here at the Spiritual Politician we look at the truth behind of rhetoric.

Given what is going on today in Government what we may decide to do it reboot the whole system.

To provide the examples of what has gone right and what has gone very wrong we here at the Spiritual Politician have put together several different kinds of segments you will hear on our show from time to time.

Impeachment. A few months ago only extremists were talking seriously about overcoming the aversion to passing a bill of impeachment and removing Richard Cheney and George Bush from office. Now, 51% of Americans think it is a good idea and reportedly many Republicans on the Hill and off, are ready to join the call for justice. David Swanson, founder of After Downing Street will talk about what it will take to remove Bush and Cheney this Friday, December 15^th on the Spiritual Politician at 4pm PST.

Sheriff Richard Mack: Can Americans take back their country?

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, December 8, 2006 4 pm PDT

This Week's Show
Our Guest: Sheriff Richard Mack

He has been asked to run for President in 2008 by ordinary people who understand what he is about. But to make that happen there may have to be a DRAFT MACK Movement. That may well happen. Given the humor of American today this committed family man may well become the next president.

Richard Mack, the former sheriff of Graham County, received the highest vote in the nation in the recent election for US Senate running as a Libertarian. He is charismatic, focused, and he has a message. He has been speaking out for a long time and his principles are clear. Let the people govern themselves in their own communities, comes through whenever he speaks.

Mack proved to the entire nation that he was one sheriff who "stuck to his guns" when he was the first sheriff in the country to sue the Clinton administration to stop the Brady Bill. Mack's case went all the way to the US Supreme Court where he won a landmark decision on the issue of states' rights. That ruling, which reinforces the fact that the Federal Government can not force their programs on the States, has been virtually hidden from the public by the media. Mack believes the people must know to do it for themselves.

Richard Mack has been in law enforcement for over 20 years. He worked his way up the ladder from parking cadet for the Provo Police Department while in college, to Detective. In 1988, Mack moved to Arizona and was elected Sheriff of Graham County, twice.

Other honors include:

Graduate of the FBI National Academy

Elected Official of the Year (1994) by New Mexico/Arizona Coalition of Counties

Received the Firearms Industry's "Cicero" award (1995)

Law Enforcement Officer of the Year (1995) by the NRA

Defender of the 2nd Amendment Award by Gun Owners of America

Sheriff Mack has been a consultant on numerous cases regarding police abuse, brutality or other government and police misconduct for attorneys and citizens alike. He lectures on various Constitutional issues, especially gun control and the 2nd Amendment, States' rights, federal intervention, the proper role of law enforcement, and the peace officer's oath of office. He is also an expert at explaining why a Sheriff is the leading law enforcement authority in his county. Mack believes that the Constitution must be enforced.

Publications authored by Mack include, "The Proper Role of Law Enforcement" and "Protect and Serve: Time for Sheriffs to Walk Tall."

Richard Mack will discuss the issue of justice and law and why it must be people on the local level who control their own lives on our show this Friday.

Hear Sheriff Mack talk about how Americans can take back their country this Friday at 4pm, PST on the Spiritual Politicianan at BBSradio.com.
