I want every politician in power, including Shane Love and Basil Zempilas, to recite this oath in front of a camera. They should then send me a copy of the recording or a link to it, to demonstrate their commitment to the people!

The Oath of Freedom

The Prelude from the Athenian Democratic Oath (To be spoken as the intent to give oath)

I want to declare that I will not bring disgrace upon my family name, which is answerable to God, and I will not abandon those who fought for our freedom, no matter where I am stationed in the battle line.

I will cast my choice or vote in consonance with the laws and with the decrees of the People. If there is no law, in consonance with my sense of what is most just, without favour or enmity, I will vote only on the matters raised in the charge, and I will listen impartially to accusers and defenders alike. I will always seek what is just for the People.

I will protect all things that are sacred to God and the people, and all things that are divinely-sanctioned-for-human-use. The land of my ancestors and my citizenship, I will leave to the next generation in a condition that is not diminished but instead greater and better than it had been before. And I will do so both on my own and with everyone else. And I will listen to those who are authorized by popular choice -to bring these things to completion with a sound mind, I will also listen to the laws [thesmoi] that have been set and to whatever laws will be set with a sound mind for the rest of time. If anyone tries to destroy them, I will prevent it, both on my own and together with everyone else. And I will honor the sacred things of our God and ancestors, direct and indirect. Witnesses to this oath are: My God Almighty.

The Oath (To be taken as an oath before service in parliament or any elected position with witnesses)

I swear before God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, that:
I will not bring disgrace upon my family name, which is answerable to God,
I will not abandon those seeking freedom who stood next to me, no matter where I am stationed or in service,
I will cast a vote, draw lots, or make decisions in alignment with the laws and the decrees of the people,
I will uphold God’s divine justice and his laws before all else,
I will use critical thinking and have an unbiased and impartial listening to the accusers and defenders,
I will defend the land, boundaries, and people of my ancestors and my place of citizenship,
I will leave to the next generation, this place of my ancestors and citizenship, in a better and undiminished condition,
I will honour God and all things sacred to the laws of God
I will work with others to ensure that all that I swear today is upheld
Witnesses to this oath are my God to whom I plead,
Please forgive all my shortcomings and sins,
Please permit my hands to do these works,
Please permit my feet to carry me through the tasks I commit to and to tread on all evil in my way,
Please keep my mind focused on your will above all else.
Amen.
