The Reelect Principle

I have created what I am calling The Reelect Principle. It conveys the single most important principle that will guide my voting from now on, and that I hope will help guide every American's voting for every office at every level of government beginning in 2012:

"I will not reelect anyone who has failed to prove in their current term that they will govern within the constraints of the Declaration and the Constitution in their next term."

That is a little too long for Twitter, so a shortened version suitable for Twitter is:

"I will not reelect one who fails to prove they will govern within the constraints of the Declaration and Constitution in their next term."

I believe this conveys in a pithy fashion what must become the single overriding guideline in voting to bring our country back from the brink of the abyss we find ourselves on - will we continue the dream established by our Founders, or will we descend into the status of a "normal", no longer exceptional benevolent, semi-socialist state?
