PURPOSE
Rex Tonkins on Fighting for future generations.
The reason I am in the senate race is because I have sensed a divine urgency to do something that will help protect our children and future generations.
It is unacceptable to indoctrinate children with warped and wicked ideas that inhibit healthy growth and development. We must give young minds building blocks of success which will position them on paths of purpose. I will be that reminder that every soul God created is valuable and is important no matter your color or creed. I will be that reminder that with God’s help, mentorship, determined effort, discipline, knowledge and wisdom everyone can experience success and the American dream of a career, property ownership, and fulfilling your life's purpose. I will be that reminder that God created only two genders male and female, and anything that goes against God's design is warp and wicked.
I will be that reminder that parents, not the government, are the final authority when implementing values to their children.
"The Philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation will be the philosophy of the government in the next." Abraham Lincoln
THE ISSUES
I (Rex Tonkins) joined the senate race in Colorado because I have the understanding that every law passed means another infringement on your liberty.
Let me address how I will approach bills in general:
If a bill edifies the natural rights of the citizen, If the bill limits the scope, size and
authority of the government, If the bill lessens or removes prohibitive regulations, If a bill
mitigates or removes confiscatory taxation, If a bill protects the sanctity of life, If a bill
aligns with the Second Amendment, I will vote a resounding YES.
If a bill grows government, if a bill infringes on the natural rights of the Citizens of
Colorado, If a bill favors one group at the expense of another, If a bill removes Parental
rights in anyway, If a bill favors one industry at the expense of another, If a bill prohibits
your right to self defense in anyway, If a bill forces compulsory participation that
infringes upon your right of conscience, I will be an unequivocal NO.
"Government's first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives" Ronald Reagan

VOICE
Fellow Citizens,
I will fight for our religious freedoms, families and future generations. Proverbs 29:18 states " Where there is no vision the people perish but happy is he who keeps the law." We must look to God for wisdom and revelation to help govern this country on the right course. This country was founded on Biblical principles and we must not abandon the fundamentals that make our country successful.
Myles Munroe quoted “Where purpose is not known abuse is inevitable” I have personally experienced the abuse of power by our very own elected officials. This is called "lawfare which is defined as the use of the legal system and institutions to damage, or delegitimize an opponent, or deter an individual’s usage of their legal rights.” As an elected representative, I will be a staunch and fearless defender of our constitutional rights. I will adhere the axiom the "Government is the servant and not the master." This tried and true concept is the foundation of my commitment in representative government. The people should never fear the government.
For too long our elected officials, with very few exceptions, have made little effort in defending and fighting for our values and platform. Our elected representation rotates from office to office and this dynamic has resulted in complacency with an entitlement mentality by those currently serving. Our Republican platform is our foundation and I assure you I will defend it unapologetically and boldly.
I understand that true leadership is being a humble servant, and respecting the principles that our country was founded on. It would be a great honor and privilege to serve the good people of Senate District 10 and I humbly ask for your vote, Thank you.
The Time is Now! Vote for a leader who will bring vision, values, and a voice of truth!
