Jobs for #J6

Look Ahead America has advocated for the political prisoners of January 6th with rallies, candlelight vigils, and our Political Prisoner Podcast.

"Jobs for #J6" serves as a connection for employers able to employ those seeking work who've lost their livelihoods—not for what they have done but for what they believe.

If you are a Political Prisoner of #J6 or able to offer employment to one, please go to https://lookaheadamerica.org/jobsforj6/ to join our movement to help them rebuild their lives.

Republican Philosophy

"Our Founders saw democracy as a variant of tyranny. At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Edmund Randolph said, “…that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.” John Adams said, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” Alexander Hamilton said, “We are now forming a Republican form of government. Real Liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments. If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of dictatorship.”

"By the way, the word democracy appears in none of our founding documents.

"The Founders of our nation recognized that we need government, but because the essence of government is force, and force is evil, government should be as small as possible. The Founders intended for us to have a limited republican form of government where human rights precede government and there is rule of law. Citizens, as well as government officials, are accountable to the same laws. Government intervenes in civil society only to protect its citizens against force and fraud, but does not intervene in the cases of peaceable, voluntary exchange."

Walter Williams

___________________________

"The Republican party is a party of progress, and of liberty toward its opponents. It encourages the poor to strive to better their children, to enable them to compete successfully with their more fortunate associates, and, in fine, it secures an entire equality before the law of every citizen, no matter what his race, nationality, or previous condition. It tolerates no privileged class. Every one has the opportunity to make himself all he is capable of… The Republican party is a party of principles; the same principles prevailing wherever it has a foothold."

Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885), September 28, 1880

Delivered by the retired president before a Republican gathering in Warren, Ohio

___________________________

"Republicans, and conservatives particularly, on the other hand, believe in the potential of human beings. They seek to create the conditions in society which promote self-empowerment and the ability of people to use their God-given talents and innate drive to succeed. For real conservatives, life is joyful. America truly represents the Shining City on a Hill. It is the pinnacle of meritocratic opportunity. "

William F. Marshall

VIRGINIA REPUBLICAN CREED

We Believe . . .

That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice

That all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society

That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government

That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing constitutional limitations

That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense

That faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers, is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation
