A Call to Action – Part 1


[Plato – 300 B.C.]

"Those who do not take an interest in public affairs are doomed to be ruled by evil men.”

[Adolph Hitler]
“What luck for rulers that men do not think.”

Our Founding Fathers Gave Us Fair Warning

[George Washington]
“Government tends to encroach on freedom and consolidate power…in the long run, disregard for the rule of law allows cunning, ambitious and unprincipled men to subvert the people and take power illegitimately by force or fraud. This is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed.”
“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”

Our Forefathers founded this country based on an innovative set of principles that resulted in a revolutionary Republic. But, they made it clear--for it to succeed it would require that We The People truly educate ourselves on these principles and hold our elected officials accountable. We The People have failed miserably in our duties. Remember, our elected officials take a sworn oath to abide by our Constitution in which our Founding Father's principles are imbedded and protected, yet We The People allow them to break that oath daily.


[Alexander Hamilton]
"No legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid. To deny this would be to affirm that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representative of the people is superior to the people."

Today, our Republic is not about the Constitutional Principles of Limited Government, Individual Rights and Laissez-Faire Capitalism upon which our Forefathers founded our country. Today, our society is all about the rights of special interest groups and the self-serving politicians who respond to these groups rather than to the Liberty Loving Patriots and Hard-Working Taxpayers. It is about out of control taxes, borrowing, spending and the redistribution of wealth. It is about decaying liberties, porous borders, corporate fascism and social programs that not only create dependency but are also on tract to bankrupt our nation by the year 2040. It is about social and economic planning in the hands of a highly centralized government. It is about international political entanglements that our Founding Fathers adamantly warned us not to promote that have resulted in our need to become virtually the world police.

If We The People allow the erosion of our Constitutional Rights and the tide of socialism and corporate fascism to continue into the 21st century as it did in the 20th century, then the end result will be civil chaos and bankruptcy of our Republic. Do not make the mistake of thinking this can’t happen. Given enough time, it has happened to every Republic and Democracy in history.

Our Founding Fathers were Statesmen who made decisions based on what was best for our Country. However, they knew money and power have a way of persuading politicians to make decisions in their own best interests and the interests of those special interest groups that support them instead of doing what is best for the country. History has proven time and time again that power hungry and self-serving politicians left unchecked will make promises in the name of the taxpayers that they cannot keep. Our Founding Fathers knew that virtually every Democracy and Republic in history had eventually self-destructed for this very reason.

Paul Kennedy, author of "The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers," stated it clearly when he said, "The decline of great powers is caused by simple economic overextension.”

Consequently, we would argue that the most serious threat to our Liberties and American Way of Life today is not terrorism or immigration issues, but our own government's actions that are self-destructing our Republic from within.

The federal debt now equates as if every man, woman, child and infant born in our Republic were in debt $30,000. This does not go away legally—it must be repaid by taxpayers. When you add future Social Security and Medicare obligations to the federal debt, it adds up to an obligation of over $450,000 for every American household. Just the interest on the federal debt is expected to be over $500 billion this year. It is estimated that by the year 2040—a little more than 30 years from now--it will take every cent the federal government collects in taxes just to pay the interest on the federal debt. It is predicted that balancing the federal budget in 2040 would require cutting total federal spending by an incredible 60 percent, or raising federal taxes by 200 percent over today's level. The Comptroller General of the United States, David M. Walker, the man who informs the federal government of its financial condition, believes Americans are in a state of denial as to the seriousness of the situation and that drastic, and we emphasize drastic, actions are needed. Walker makes it very clear we are headed for economic disaster.

We can all continue to ignore reality, but the time is quickly approaching when none of us will be able to overlook the consequences of ignoring reality. Trust us...the hour is much closer than you think. Unless we do something soon, history is going to repeat itself and there will be no escaping this truth. If you cannot see, or worse, do not care that this is happening to our Republic, then you are either blinded by some ideology or are already a slave to the federal government as the recipient of special treatment or tax dollars at the expense of someone else—or you are just in a serious state of denial.

Any knowledgeable person would have to be delusional to think that today's politicians will offer a solution to anything other than a continued, clear path to bankrupting our country. Whether liberal or conservative, the politician’s track record of government waste, corruption, fraud and failures in virtually everything he or she attempts to do makes a mockery of common sense. Try to think of one problem, either social or economic, in which the federal government's solution didn’t make the situation either worse or more expensive, and in most cases, both.

Please understand we are not some militia group advocating picking up arms or promoting anarchy by means of unlawful disobedience. THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION NOT A CALL TO ARMS. Our mission is not to totally eliminate government or illegally evade the payment of our taxes. This is not about the poor versus the rich, the young versus the old, Democrats versus Republicans, labor versus big business or the religious versus the atheist and agnostic. We believe today we have all become part of the problem.

Because of our Constitutional ignorance and apathy, We The People have allowed that which our Founding Fathers feared to happen. It is time we did as our Founding Fathers mandated we do–educate ourselves and Take Back Our Country!


A Call to Action – Part 2

We Are Already Living Under Tyranny


There is no question our Founding Fathers would consider the form of federal government we live under today the rankest form of slavery and tyranny. At best we are less free, more heavily taxed and governed worse than our ancestors under British rule. To our Founders, five indisputable signs of tyranny were (1) a powerful centralized federal government prepared to force its citizens to pay unreasonable taxes at gunpoint if necessary; (2) the expansion of a mounting welfare state; (3) the increase of special interest group’s control over government; (4) the ever-growing bureaucracy taking control over almost every area of our lives and (5) the ability for government to borrow unlimited amounts of money and manipulate the value of currency through a private banking system (The Federal Reserve Bank).


[Thomas Jefferson]
“When governments fear the people, there is Liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. I have sworn eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

“To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors, is sinful and tyrannical.”

"Government is big enough to supply everything you need .... and big enough to take everything you have."


[James Madison]
“When government interferes with the freedom to derive the fruits of one’s talents and labors, it violates the principle of human equality by subjecting some to peculiar burdens and others to particular exemptions. When government dictates arbitrary taxation or the taking of property from one class of citizens to benefit another, freedom is assailed.”

“There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.”

“The accumulation of all powers [of government]...in the same hands...
[is] the very definition of tyranny.”


[John Hay]
“The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by those who resist it.”

Now ask yourself, if our Founding Fathers were alive today, what would they have us do? That, my fellow Patriots, is the critical question that forms the foundation and backs the philosophy behind our mission. It is up to those of us who still have a passion for limited government over a government that is intruding on nearly every aspect of our lives. It is up to us who still believe in individual rights over the rights of special interest groups that are robbing us of our property in the form of confiscated income tax (a form of tax, by the way, that our Founding Fathers adamantly opposed except in national emergencies). And, it is up to those of us who have a passion for Laissez-Faire Capitalism rather than the corporate fascism that now controls and manipulates most of our politicians and government. It is up to us to unite and do that which our Founding Fathers clearly instructed us.


A Call to Action – Part 3

We Must First Educate Ourselves and Our Fellow Patriots
or Be Prepared to Lose Our Country!


[Thomas Jefferson]
“Those who think that they can live free and be ignorant are thinking of something that never was nor never will be.”

“I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.”

It is our belief that the overwhelming majority of Americans have little understanding of the true wisdom and undenying principles our Founders embedded in our Constitution. They do not fully understand the end result if we continue to allow these key principles to be violated by our elected officials and courts. Now, if we are to save our Republic and American Way of Life, we must first do that which our Founding Fathers instructed us and educate ourselves and fellow Patriots on these principles and their importance. We predict that, for the first time in most of your lives, the clouds will open and you will understand the true purpose of government as envisioned by our Founding Fathers. Then and only then will we each be intelligently armed to battle the tyrannical actions of our elected officials. Accordingly, you will find links on our Web site to short Educational Exposés that will infuriate you when you totally comprehend these principles and how We The People have allowed our elected officials not only to dilute them but in some cases to destroy them.


[George Washington]
“Ignoring the Constitution and allowing the rule of law to be weakened is done at our own peril. Americans must always guard against irregular oppositions to legitimate authority and the spirit of innovation that desires to circumvent the principles of our Constitution.”

If we fail to do as our Forefathers mandated, then we have no one to blame for the eventual destruction of our Republic but ourselves.


A Call to Action – Part 4

We Must Hold Our Elected Officials Accountable to Those Principles Granted by Our Founding Fathers in Our Constitution or Be Prepared to Lose Our Country!


[George Washington]
“Few men have the virtue to withstand the highest bidder.”


[James Madison]
“Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm. Some representatives will be weak of mind or lacking in backbone. Some may possess the ambition and political skills of a demagogue, and be able to work their wiles on less clever and weaker colleagues. Even the most philosophic and patriotic representatives should not be given a blind trust, for the political scenes in which they must operate often distract their reasoning and expose it to the influence of the passions…be wary of the heat generated by politics and the allurements of political power. The accumulation of all powers [of government]...in the same hands...[is] the very definition of tyranny.”

Through three state-of-the-art online advocacy software programs we will organize, inform, engage, motivate and empower Liberty Loving Patriots in numbers never before accomplished to either force our elected officials to restore those principles granted to us by our Founding Fathers or inform those officials that we will do everything in our power to elect representatives who will. This system will require little time on your part to stay active and involved, and it is absolutely free to any Patriot willing to educate himself by reading our short Educational Exposés and join our cause.

Conclusion



Our Founding Fathers’ Mandate to We The People


[John Adams]
“Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure and their blood.”

[Samuel Adams]
"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."

At this point in the evolution of our Republic, we find ourselves in a situation not unlike that of our Founding Fathers in their struggles to create those Liberties and Individual Rights granted to us in the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.

For those of you who feel you know more than our Founding Fathers about what is best for our country; for those who prefer the quasi-socialist programs and corporate fascism of our current day politicians over the wisdom of our Founding Fathers; for those who would rather complain than take action, kneel then stand with us. We will let the words of two of our beloved Founding Patriots address you as they addressed the naysayers of their time:

 

[Samuel Adams]
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

[Benjamin Franklin]
“They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety,
deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

It is our opinion that Americans who are unwilling to join us in our fight to preserve and restore our Liberties and American Way of Life, and do as our Founding Fathers mandated, those people with nothing more important than a desire for their own personal safety or to continue to unjustly feed from the treasury trough at the expense of others, are miserable creatures who have no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the actions of True Patriots.

Fortunately, We The People do not have to invent a new system of government. We only have to restore the one granted to us by our Founders in our Constitution. But, it will require time, energy and organization on our part. Never forget the first three words of the Preamble to the Constitution are “We The People,” drafted much larger than any other words contained in the entire document. Our Founding Fathers knew that individuals working together could make a difference and change the course of life--indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.

If we do not act soon, the day of reckoning is coming, and it is not a pretty picture. The false dream that the government has all the answers and is providing a cradle of security for all will end in chaos. Make sure you read our Educational Exposé entitled, “There Will Be Blood in The Streets.”

The hour may be later than you think! To this point, We The People have been negligent in our duties. It is time we united under The Liberty Alliance banner and, as authorized by our Founding Fathers in the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!

The Liberty Alliance
"...Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it...."

We will leave you with seven words spoken by Benjamin Franklin when approached after he signed our Constitution and was asked what kind of government they had given the American People:

"A Republic if you can keep it.”
