  We need to actively recruit members to the Republican party.  To this end an oath/affirmation by EVERY member of the Republican party to support republican principle and the constitutionally republican rule-of-law would be useful in establishing party honor, unity and diligent enthusiasm:

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  “I, _______,  believe, as do all true members of the Republican Party :

  1) That the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice, That all individuals are have intrinsic rights and are guaranteed equal protection entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society, (Tea Party Free Markets core value)

  2) That fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government, (Tea Party fiscal responsibility core value)

  3) That the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing restoring Constitutional limitations, (Tea Party Constitutionally Limited Government core value)

  4) That peace is best preserved through a strong national defense,

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

  
  

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Now Which POTUS candidate is best able to affirm the Republican Party creed from Virginia and has the character needed to maximize its uniting power without squandering that unity in unnecessary provocations and opposition?  

   

  So what do I hear?  A restatement of  Newt Gingrich's – “Ron Paul has been constantly correct” plus the reservation  'I have this problem with this one [poorly evidenced] fear I have regarding Ron Paul.'  What opposition Republican Ron Paul has arises not from factual matters but from the essentially spiritual problems that neo-cons and neo-liberals have where they raise big government as an idol to replace the big God that they believe has abandoned and abused them. 

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Even  so, The Republican Party Convention may see some currently Republican governor declared as the POTUS candidate – one who pre-selects a dream-team cabinet – one who firmly cements party unity and activist diligence.    

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The affirmation of creeds are strong on pulling those who want to do their duty.  But most everyone needs a little push when statutory duty becomes inconvenient in the short term.  To secure liberty and prosperity we must embrace our duty under Adam's 'Empire of Laws' and reject the "caprice of men's cavalier felonious conceits of authority".

  The following affirmation/oath only recognizes every American's duty under the duly authorized laws as they are - nothing new is invoked - If such an oath was publicly acclaimed by every member of the Republican Party we would have the push strength needed to avoid most kinds of downfall that have afflicted Republicans in the last century or so.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I, _______,  as a member of the Republican Party in the Virginia,  affirm that I will bear true faith and allegiance to my Constitution of the United States, and Virginia; and to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend those constitutions against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

   

  I will diligently perform my `hue & cry' duty defined in the United States Code 18USC4, `Misprision of Felony' ; such that crimes arising from alienation shall become scarce, particularly, that felony against MY Constitution and its duly authorized law known as US Frauds & Swindles; effected by "Resisting the execution of the laws under the color of its authority", as effectively defined in of "Virginia Statutory Treason” and “Virginia Statutory Embezzlement”.

   

  I affirm these duties freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and  will well and faithfully discharge these duties, trusting with firm reliance on the Providence, Witness and Counsel of "The Laws of Nature and Nature's God" I  so pledge my life, my fortune and my sacred honor.”

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Those that do not stand for something usually fall for anything.  NOT ME.

  Point taken, Nathan. Not my words on the creed though. Minus the notes of TPM core values (1,2 & 3) the creed is that of Virginia's Republican party. The creed's existence and the respect it receives facilitates the make-over that the Republican party needs - particularly statement 5) is good for stripping the big government idolatrous delusions from neo-cons and neo-libs. Also good for separating Caesar's business-with-man from God's business-with-man.
  Statement 4) is good for separating toxic military empire conceits from duty-bound right to bare and use arms when just-war calls. Statement 5) reinforces Statement 4) when neo-cons or neo-libs layout their busybody crap as if it was duty.
  
  That creed is an easy/graceful way to wash out what bullshit folks deposit in the public square.
  
  The oath/affirmation of what duty-under-law that already exists is good neighborhood watch stuff that suppresses crime before it occurs.

  You have said at the beginning of this article that in order to be a signatory to this oath, one must be honorable, and be unified and enthusiastic about the rule of law that is exemplified in the points of this oath. This is a standard which has not been respected nor approved by almost all of the political aspirants that seek offices in a long time. There is the fact that most of the persons who do seek office have only said the oath toward the defense of the Constitution when they are sworn in as a matter of rote. This is an oath that should be a matter of the honor to those that sign it, but a degree of honor is not forthcoming from many people who would sign it.
