Rajan Laad . . .This draconian move discourages dialogue between the government and a citizen. Governments usually prefer monologues and mandates. They expect the citizen to obediently follow. The goal behind Jampel's firing is to deter others from speaking the truth to power.
"We revisit the principles of Democracy which is defined by Lincoln as ‘of the people, by the people and for the people.'
"Since all citizens cannot govern simultaneously, they elect a representative to govern on their behalf to whom they lend their power.
"The representatives do not own power, they merely have access to power on atemporary basis. Citizens who own the power have every right to hold their representatives accountable.
"The representative (mayor, governor, congressman, senator, sresident, etc) reports to the citizen, hence they are referred to as public servants.
"Since all citizens cannot be everywhere questioning the representatives, the press is assigned the task of holding the powerful accountable. If the press fails, the citizen can demand answers. It is not incumbent on the citizen to be humble, polite, or servile; the representatives must answer questions either directly or via their spokespersons.
"Jampel’s firing is a reminder of how Democrats function when they have absolute power. Questioning is not only discouraged but punished.
"It has to be remembered that these very Democrats celebrated treasonous saboteurs and leakers attempting to undermine democratically-elected President Trump. The saboteurs were glorified and referred to as patriots, heroes, and whistleblowers who were speaking truth to power. They were even afforded anonymity and protection for their ‘bravery’
"Yet a mother was fired for expressing valid concerns about the wellbeing of her toddler.
"This incident is another reason to vote against the tyrants who refer to themselves as Democrats."
