Posted by Roy Antoun

Brooklyn Young Republican President Jonathan Judge has released the following video on a purely grassroots effort to reform New York City politics.

Commentary by Roy Antoun:

The message is clear and precise. Old politics have expired and a new age of youth-induced communication and grassroots efforts are on the verge of exponentially taking the Tea Party into the streets of Brooklyn. We must hold our elected officials accountable for what they are worth and we must uphold the liberties that our Creator has endowed us with through our Constitution.

What Brooklynites should understand is that it’s acceptable to disagree with a party platform if your own individual, personal beliefs are not in line with what the Brooklyn GOP leadership dictates. Youth are humbled and principled. They are the future catalysts of a movement rapidly spreading across the nation. It is the youth who will be paying the price of today’s mistakes in blood and treasure.

Liberty is contagious and attractive; every human being on this earth yearns to be free in some respect or another. Consequently, you have a right to dissent and debate. The current establishment is what has led us into crisis and no one else will get us out except for the motivated youth determined to solve the problem through principled, classically liberal polities and politics. The words of Benjamin Franklin continue to echo in our ears, “Those who sacrifice Liberty for Security deserve neither.”

Let us stop sacrificing old, mainstream GOP politics and uphold our liberty to choose, dissent, and debate. Let us stop sacrificing principle for a few meager seats in office. “In style, sway like the wind. In principle, stand like a rock.” – Thomas Jefferson
