A “Politician” is any one, of whom is actively part of that small, but privileged group of Landowners, Property Holders, and Voters of which hold special powers to discuss, and congregate, form public discussion to adopt resolutions, initiatives, choose their Governor, Legislators, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Auditor, Land Commissioner, Utilities Commissioner, to their Judges, Sheriffs, County and Precinct Committee Persons, etc. To be part of this elite, privileged class of ‘citizens’ you must be either a Landowner, the person who controls the land, a Property-holder, the person of which owns a vested interest in the property upon the land, an Elected Representative, the person of which is nominated, voted for, and elected to meet in public meetings, commissions, to hold conventions to discuss public matters, and finally, you must be a Voter – a person of which becomes a qualified individual to participate in the governing process of choosing our elected persons, petitioning for those persons, initiatives, resolutions, let alone amendments to our constitutions, charters.
