Finally...Real citizen ACTION!

.
Congress is corrupt.
.
Very corrupt. It has been owned by big business for generations; increasingly, it's also now controlled by a socialist agenda...it threatens our very future and Constitution.
.
Bush and Obama have both been disasters for our Rule of Law and way of life. Washington D.C. is now a marriage of classic fascism and classic socialism. Obama is pusing America to the bring of full socialism, with a new nightmare every week.
.
But there's hope.
.
Over 1,600 local groups held Tea Party rallies on April 15th, 2009 and it is estimated that over 2,500 cities will celebrate Tea Parties on Independence Day 2009. This is excellent.
.
But should a self-governing people...the employers who established the U.S. Constitution...really march and 'protest' to their employees?
.
Really?
.
Is that what the framers of the Constitution contemplated when the sovereign States got together to make a small federal government for limited purposes?
.
Obviously not. Marching with protest signs is bizarre, given our employer relationship to our employee federal government. We're accustomed to writing letters and marching around because we've been wandering in a godless desert and trained in government schools. Now we're coming to our senses in national repentance and also realizing that employers don't demonstrate against employees who violate laws and run their company into the dumpster. Employers put their foot down.
.
To put your foot down, the AmericaAgain! project is a tactical action plan to roll out at your rally...followed by community-level action to keep Congress honest from now on, or you make them serve prison time, like every other criminal.
.
On June 24th, our new AmericaAgain! project interactive website will go live. Please excuse the construction. In the meantime, you can read the AmericaAgain! Demand Letter, below...to be read aloud to your members of Congress at your Independence Day event. Below that is the original AmericaAgain! Declaration: a complete indictment of the corrupt U.S. Congress, and what We The People intend to do about it.
.
Be a part of American history -- finally enforcing the U.S. Constitution against an out-of-control Washington, D.C. that violates it daily. Log on to the AmericaAgain! site anytime after June 24th. You can decide to finally begin practicing self-government in America.
.
Before we become the latest socialist country with Muslim connections...together, We The People can take America back.

Let's roll.

AmericaAgain! Tea Party Demand Letter

Dear Senators _______________ and ________________,
and Congressman ______________,

We the People are in shock. Our form of government is changing literally by the week, as you run the largest R.I.C.O. operation in history.

You extort trillions from us for socialist redistribution and you call it a 'stimulus'. We can't travel without showing that our papers are in order. You pass a plan for a government service program that’s reminescent of Hitler's Germany. You bail out and nationalize major companies in the banking and automotive sectors. You say you're going to pay for it all with our money, like we're some galactic ATM machine. You're doing all of this against our consent, and in clear violation of our Supreme Law of the Land. Just what are you thinking?

Look across America today – in over (one thousand) communities from sea to shining sea – do you know what we’re thinking? We think we've had enough and we're taking our Republic back.

Some of our State legislatures are sending you the same message. We appreciate their efforts to remind you that you're violating the law (the 10th Amendment) and telling you to cease and desist. But that won't be enough; we know how legislators love pork from D.C., so WE THE PEOPLE will now begin to enforce the Constitution. We will now start exercising our duty in this government of the people, by the people, and for the People. These 2009 rallies are just a heads-up to tell you that WE THE PEOPLE intend to lawfully, peacefully shut down your criminal enterprises.

At rallies across the Republic today we’re reading this demand letter to you, our members of Congress. You will soon be receiving from us, your constituents, a copy of the AmericaAgain! Declaration, a list of high crimes that Congress has been committing for generations, and the list of reform legislation that WE THE PEOPLE will draft and refine during coming years; that you will sponsor just as you do now for the lobbyists that draft your legislation.

At some rallies today, we have sign-up tables for citizens to begin organizing our local AmericaAgain! chapters. A local CHSA will offer three historic opportunities for self-government:

First, We The People will begin drafting, refining, and pushing through Congress our own reform legislation to roll back almost a century of illegal federal powers and arrogations. Second, local AmericaAgain! chapters will team up in each US congressional district to form a Congressional Indictment Dragnet (CID) to indict, convict, and incarcerate in our State Penitentiary our own members of Congress who refuse to cease violating the Supreme Law of the Land.

Third, we will take the Tax Honesty Movement to the next level, exposing the US Congress' 96-year IRS scam and by refusing to allow Congress to bail itself out using the 'revenue neutral' Trojan horse, that it has dubbed the 'FairTax'.

The local AmericaAgain! chapter will be like a Homeowner’s Association, on steroids. The HOA enforces subdivision covenants & restrictions; for instance, makes a resident re-paint his pink garage or be fined $1,000 to have it done. The AmericaAgain! chapter enforces our Constitution's covenants & restrictions; you either stop committing trillion-dollar crimes, or WE THE PEOPLE get our State Court to put you in orange State Penitentiary overalls and leg shackles, and seize your assets as we do with all major crime figure.

Yes; we’ve had enough! No more chickens petitioning foxes. As your employers, WE THE PEOPLE are through with writing letters to employees, hoping you'll read them instead of throwing them in the trash as you walk down your marble hall for lunch or to the spa with cronies. And speaking of the spa...and your free health insurance...and your incredible pension after just months in office...and your chartered jets and limousines... since WE THE PEOPLE are facing tough financial times thanks to you, and since you’re destroying our form of government and bankrupting our children: we're cutting off your opulent 'public servant' allowances, thank you very much.

We invite politicians and political parties to support the AmericaAgain! project, but you can’t join us in it. We won’t let partisans turn our self-government project into your political soapbox.

Pass the following message on to those who bought you: we have taken the red pill, and gone down the rabbit hole. We now know that this constitutional crisis didn't begin with Obama, Pelosi, Reed, and Barney Frank. It didn't begin with George W. Bush or even back in 1913. Our lawless Leviathan was hatched 52 years earlier, behind the tactical diversion of abolishing slavery. The North didn’t win a Civil War; America's domestic enemies won The War to Enslave the States.

We the People – all of us sovereign States – were divided and conquered. Then since the end of that war, two major political parties have kept WE THE PEOPLE in a perennial pep-rally to build their political careers and swindle us out of self-government. Our domestic enemy has been tactically shrewd, but we’re not stuck on stupid. They’re busted now, and so are you.

Some say that we don't need legal action to enforce the Supreme Law of the Land; that we can just elect reformers to Congress. Baloney; we tried that for a generation and it doesn't work. Voting won't change anything now; both parties are owned by the money powers and arrayed against us.

Even impeaching some of you won't end the corruption or punish crime. Yes, we’ll start electing statesmen regardless of party, but we’ll also start enforcing the 9th and 10th Amendments – something WE THE PEOPLE have never done in 220 years.

We have a great deal of reform legislation to draft and that you will sponsor. It will include:

- Enact a congressional Term Limits Amendment
- Immediately and retroactively end all congressional perks and pensions
- Outlaw any tracing, tracking, or eavesdropping on law-abiding Americans
- Enact a Balanced Budget Amendment
- Outlaw the immoral practice of fractional-reserve banking
- Direct IRS to cease fraudulently applying law
- Declare English as the official language of the United States
- Take immediate action to secure our borders and outlaw the illegal alien "anchor baby" tactic
- Outlaw federal restrictions on law-abiding ownership and use of firearms
- Begin enforcing the War Powers Resolution of 1973
- End federal restrictions on our own private land, water, and minerals...and finally...
- Repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments

We’ve never practiced self-government before, as our founders intended us to do; but we'll get it right with practice. We'll end your corruption, and we'll do it peacefully, lawfully, and without civil disobedience. All we need is that glorious piece of paper, our U.S. Constitution.

Today we want to thank all corrupt politicians, bureaucrats, and industry fat cats for making Atlas shrug after five generations of federal corruption. This time, WE THE PEOPLE will do the dividing and conquering. May we not shrink from our duties of self-government.

And may God grant that we become AmericaAgain!

The AmericaAgain! Declaration

We the People of these united States

recognize that our Republic was founded as a union of sovereign States; that the compact ratified by twelve States in 1788 remains the entire grant of powers that We the People allowed to national government. A solemn regard for the natural rights of Life, Liberty and Private Property granted by Our Creator demands that we remind our civil governments that no man acting with consent of another, can remove these God-given rights as they have done. Ancestry and posterity compel us as citizens of these sovereign States to now secure these rights; to begin enforcing our national compact before a watching world. Thus do We, the People of these united States, declare that:
.
Whereas We the People of these 50 States of America were the creators of the Constitution for the united States of America; and
.
Whereas the three branches of federal government are creatures — things created by us in the U.S. Constitution; and
.
Whereas the national Constitution is the highest and most basic Law of the Land throughout this Republic so uniquely blessed by God among all nations; and
.
Whereas it is the duty of all members of the U.S. Congress, and of every U.S. administration, and of the U.S. federal judiciary, and of all federal armed forces, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution for the united States of America; and
.
Whereas in that Law, We the People clearly enumerated and limited the powers of the federal government and retained any powers not specifically enumerated therein, to ourselves and our sovereign States; and
.
Whereas any exercise of power by federal government beyond those listed powers is and has been a violation of the Supreme Law of the Land; and
.
Whereas President Jefferson said that “in questions of powers...let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution”; and
.
Whereas such “binding down” can be peaceably effected by binding the federal purse and by We the People and Sovereign States enforcing that Law of Limitation for the first time in the history of our Constitution; and
.
Whereas the present $3,600,000,000,000 annual federal revenue has spawned a brood of corruptions as unlimited sums of money always do, the ocean of D.C. cash now funding unconstitutional federal powers, cabinet departments, agents, agencies, programs, projects, offices, and regulations that for sheer number are impossible to list here, but that threaten our livelihoods, liberties, property, and posterity; that make a standing joke of our Law of the Land; and that make fair game out of the people of foreign lands; and
.
Whereas Mr. Jefferson also wrote in the Kentucky Resolution that, "...the several States composing the United States of America, are not united on the principles of unlimited submission to their General Government; but that by compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the united States and of amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes, delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their own self Government; and that whensoever the general government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force: That to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral party, its co-States forming as to itself, the other party: That the government created by this compact was not made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself, since that would have made its discretion and not the Constitution, the measure of its powers; but that as in all other cases of compact among parties having no common Judge, each party [sovereign State] has an equal right to judge of itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress." ; and
.
Whereas Mr. Madison concurred, saying “The States, then, being the parties to the constitutional compact, and in their sovereign capacity, it follows of necessity that there can be no tribunal above their authority to decide...whether the compact made by them be violated; and consequently that as the parties to it, they must themselves decide...such questions as may be of sufficient magnitude to require their interposition.” and
.
Whereas in Federalist #28, Alexander Hamilton asserted the obvious right of We the People to constrain federal tyranny, saying that "The whole power of the proposed government is to be in the hands of the representatives of the People. This is the essential and, after all, only efficacious security for the rights and privileges of the People...(I)f the representatives of the People betray their constituents, there is no resource left but in that original right of self-defence...”; and

Whereas Mr. Hamilton reminded us that as long as we understand basic civics and our rights as the creators of the federal government – and as long as we are willing to stop the corrupt government in its tracks, we can prevail: "the larger the American population would become, the more effectively we can resist federal government tyranny...The obstacles to usurpation and the facilities of resistance increase with the increased extent of the (body of citizens), provided the citizens understand their rights and are disposed to defend them. The natural strength of the people in a large community, in proportion to the artificial size of the government, is greater than in a small..."; and
.
Whereas, Mr. Hamilton saw, as did Mr. Madison, the dangers of a wayward or tyrannical State or national government, Mr. Hamilton made it clear that the sovereign People would be the deciding factor in either case, saying, "Power being almost always the rival of power, the general government will at all times stand ready to check the usurpations of State governments, and these will have the same disposition towards the general government. The People, by throwing themselves into either scale, will infallibly make it preponderate. If their rights are invaded by either, they can make use of the other as the instrument of redress..."; and
.
Whereas Mr. Hamilton, in attempting to sell the American People on the proposed U.S. Constitution, offered this very remedy in case we should ever reach this point of systemic corruption in all branches of the national government, saying, "The State governments will...afford complete security against invasions of the public liberty by the national authority...possessing all the organs of civil power, and the confidence of the People, they can at once adopt a regular plan of opposition, in which they can combine all the resources of the community. They can readily communicate with each other in the different States, and unite their common forces for the protection of their common liberty.”; and
.
Whereas this is precisely the goal of the AmericaAgain! project, to make good on the 'warranty' that We The People were offered before we signed that national compact; and
.
Whereas all three branches of our federal creature stand in perennial, systemic violation of the highest Law, and the constitutional authority of We The People to take enforcement action on our own initiative is beyond dispute; and
.
Whereas the duty of constitutional law enforcement falls on We the People, not by resisting government's lawlessness with a lawlessness of our own but rather through having the courts of our sovereign States bring law enforcement power to bear as our right and duty under that Law; and
.
Whereas all aspirants to Congress implicitly represent to the voters that they understand the Constitution and will enforce it once elected; upon entering office, taking the oath of office stating, "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States...that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same...", by which oath the Constitution requires that they shall be bound; and
.
Whereas the President of the United States takes the oath that he “will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution”, with the Constitution imposing upon him the duty that “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed”, including his own oath of office; and any willful violation of any such oath of office is an act of usurpation, tyranny, or both; and any such presidential violation of oath of office is a violation of every American’s constitutional right to a constitutionally legitimate government based upon the consent of the governed; and
.
Whereas with respect to compliance with his “Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution”, no public official can ever be allowed to be the judge of his own case, as Presidents Jefferson and Madison observed; and
.
Whereas We the People “ordained and established” the Constitution, and a fundamental principle of law is that the power to enact carries with it the final authority to declare the meaning of legislation; and
.
Whereas every public official’s oath is made to We the People; the Constitution commands that the official be bound by that oath; thus We the People have the right to enforce that oath and the power to do so as well, for no right can exist without an effective remedy; and
.
Whereas We the People know that reform legislation never proceeds through the halls of the corrupted Congress, but is invariably negotiated away by co-conspirators in Congress; that the corrupt practices of Congress have now infested our State, county, and municipal governments also, as the U.S. Supreme Court suggested in its 1928 Olmsted ruling: "In a government of laws... Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy"; and
.
Whereas the U.S. Congress has perennially refused to balance its federal budgets; and
.
Whereas the flow of illegal aliens across our borders reached epidemic proportions decades ago, yet Congress refuses to take decisive action to seal those borders, instead playing political games with a ticking time bomb against America's culture, economy, and civil order, and saddling working Americans with the cost of the socialist programs that these illegal aliens make use of; and
.
Whereas America has historically been a melting pot Republic with a common language, currency, culture, and work ethic but in one generation has become a polyglot group of warring factions seeking their own 'African America' or 'Mexican America'; and
.
Whereas the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate were intended to be populated by citizen-statesmen for limited terms so that no lifelong political oligarchy would rise up to rule over the 'common people' as is now the case, with members of Congress being wealthy, insular individuals with little affinity with, or empathy for, the average citizen; and
.
Whereas members of Congress are in the habit of decrying the opulent lives of corporate CEOs, while shamelessly enjoying the very same opulence – fat pensions, paid insurance premiums, free private spas, limousines, chartered jet aircraft and much more – all paid for by citizens who will never enjoy such free luxuries; and
.
Whereas the U.S. Congress is explicitly granted the sole authority to "declare War", and to "make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval forces" (Article 1, Section 8), and to control the funding of those same forces, but has heretofore lacked the fortitude to cut off funding for the undeclared, unprovoked foreign attacks and invasions by federal forces ordered by our presidents on pretenses that have often proven false; and
.
Whereas under our Constitution it was and is manifestly illegal for Congress to grant a concession for manufacture of our currency to a private banking cartel to which We the People are forced to pay the face value plus interest; and
.
Whereas Congress has willfully and knowingly allowed the Internal Revenue Service to perennially violate the federal tax laws, regulations, and its own operating manual, transforming Taxpayers by coercion into virtual pack-mules to carry the financial burdens of their demonstrable crimes and those of the industries who buy their allegiance; and
.
Whereas every member of Congress and three successive administrations were hand-delivered extensive packages of evidence that IRS has been violating laws while calling its actions ‘Code enforcement’ – a shameless breach of public trust corroborated by a former IRS fraud examiner, former IRS attorney, former IRS –CID enforcement agent, two former IRS field agents, a former IRS auditor, former IRS Commissioner, and by the Historian of the IRS testifying before the U.S. Senate in 1997; and
.
Whereas we refuse to allow Congress to burden us or our future generations with an equally-corrupt 'revenue neutral' flat tax or ‘fair’ tax (so-called) to milk the productive segment but instead demand that Congress allow reduced revenues to limit Washington D.C. to its enumerated powers; and
.
Whereas the Second Amendment declares that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”, and this is the only place in the Constitution where the term “security” appears; and the Second Amendment inextricably links “security” with “a free State”, leaving no place for a centralized, para-militarized police state in America; and
.
Whereas the obvious intent of the Second Amendment is for the People ourselves, exercising our right to keep and bear Arms, to provide our own security within our own States through our own well-regulated Militia – yet, Congress has long refused, and continues to refuse, to “provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia”, as the Constitution requires in Article I, Section 8, Clause 16; and
.
Whereas, Congress having abdicated that constitutional responsibility, We the People must organize, mobilize, and otherwise bestir ourselves in order to restore “well-regulated Militia” in every State according to constitutional principles, through enactment of State legislation; and
.
Whereas modern reality as opposed to life in colonial times demands that, prior and in addition to re-establishing the 'homeland security' assumed in the Constitution, We the People must also use unarmed law enforcement,
.
Therefore,
.
after our long-term failure to discharge our citizen duties – and bearing the cost of our abdication on every hand – We the People of these fifty sovereign, united States intend to lawfully, peacefully begin enforcing the Constitution in each of the 435 U.S. House districts and in each of our 50 States against crimes by our own U.S. congressman and senators. We shall effect such law enforcement and restore Constitutional Homeland Security through our CHSAs.
.
We the People do hereby demand that those we elected and sent to serve us in the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate:
.
1) Publicly reiterate Congress' intention to exercise Subsection (c) of the War Powers Resolution of 1973 without delay in any instance when an administration has initiated foreign hostilities or mobilized the U.S. military without a Declaration of War by Congress, and is unable to prove to Congress beyond reasonable doubt that such mobilization or hostilities are necessary to address a demonstrable threat to We the People and/or our sovereign States; and
.
2) Enact legislation that:
.
A) Acknowledges the 4th Amendment privacy in the American people’s own persons, houses, papers, email communications, and effects from any and all government surveillance, seizure, or detainment unless preceded by issuance of a specific, bona fide warrant issued on probable cause;
.
B) Rescinds all portions of the USA Patriot Acts that violate the liberty and privacy of an American, and makes illegal any optical, electronic, or satellite surveillance and/or tracking of any American citizen or that citizen's property until a warrant is issued upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation and particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized;
.
C) Makes illegal any biometric tracking of any law-abiding citizen of these 50 States, or any federal government program of biometric or electronic tracking of domestic animals within any State;
.
D) Declares that neither Congress, nor the President of the United States, nor any federal court, has the power to conscript Americans of any age or condition into involuntary ‘national service’ or servitude of any kind, for any purpose; and
.
3) Enact legislation for at least the following purposes:
A) Declaring that We the People have delegated the power to “coin Money” only to Congress, and have delegated to Congress only the power to “coin Money”, and that Congress lacks any authority to delegate, or to fail, neglect, or refuse to exercise, this power; and
.
B) Declaring:
.
(i) In general, that the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and all subsequent amendments of that act, are unconstitutional, and have been since their purported enactment.
.
(ii) In particular, that the special privileges that now attach to Federal Reserve Notes—to wit, that such notes shall be redeemed in lawful money by the United States Department of the Treasury, shall be receivable for all taxes and other public dues, and shall be legal tender for all debts, public and private—are unconstitutional, and have been since their purported enactment; and
.
C) As remedies for these violations of the Constitution:
.
(i) Establishing, as an alternative to the Federal Reserve System and Federal Reserve Notes, a system of official money consisting solely of silver and gold, with “dollar” defined as the Constitution requires: a coin containing 371.25 grains (troy) of fine silver, with gold coins to be valued in “dollars” at the prevailing rate of exchange between silver and gold in the free market. This alternative money will be produced through immediate “free coinage” of whatever silver and gold may be brought to the United States Mints, and then substituted for Federal Reserve Notes, as rapidly as the maintenance of stability throughout America’s economy will permit, in all the financial transactions of the General Government.
.
(ii) So amending the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 (as amended) that the Federal Reserve System shall, as of and after the effective date of such legislation, retain no official relationship whatsoever to the General Government; and that the Federal Reserve regional banks shall obtain new corporate charters from the States and consistent with the laws thereof, or shall cease doing business, as of the date upon which theSecretary of the Treasury shall certify that all of the financial transactions of the General Government are being conducted solely in silver and gold; and
.
D) Acknowledging that:
.
(i) The States have always enjoyed, and now enjoy, a right as sovereign governments, and a duty pursuant to Article I, Section 10, Clause 1 of the Constitution, to employ gold and silver coin, to the exclusion of any other currency, as their media of exchange in the performance of all of their sovereign functions; and
.
(ii) Neither Congress, nor the President, nor any court of the General Government or of the States, nor any international or supra-national body, nor any private parties have any authority whatsoever to require the States to employ anything other than gold and silver coin for such purposes.
.
E) Outlawing the practice of 'fractional reserve banking', requiring that if any bank or like financial institution that accepts deposits in the normal course of its business, shall be unable to pay all such deposits on demand, then the directors, officers, shareholders, partners, trustees, or other owners and managers (as the case may be) of such bank or like financial institution shall be personally liable and their own personal assets subject to seizure to satisfy such unpaid deposit balances under the laws of the State in which the demand for payment of such balances is made; and
.
F) Declaring null and void, and imposing criminal penalties and civil monetary damages on any person who purports to enact or enforce any purported tax, charge, or like financial burden purportedly imposed on any exchange of one form of money of the United States for another form of money of the United States, and notwithstanding that the nominal value of one form may be greater, or less, than the nominal value of the other form involved in the transaction.
.
Such legislation shall apply to Federal Reserve Notes, and to the fully base-metallic and debased silver coinage and all paper currencies of the United States, until the date upon which the Secretary of the Treasury shall certify that all of the financial transactions of the General Government are being conducted solely in gold and silver, and thereafter only as Congress shall determine necessary; and
.
4) Repeal the 16th Amendment which has given rise to such gross misrepresentation of the Tax Code and of the legal requirements for taxation, and pass legislation directing IRS to immediately cease the fraudulent application of the Tax Code and release all federal prisoners being held on “failure to file” or similarly fraudulent charges (in that the citizen's duty to file is not established from law but merely asserted by administrative fiat); and
.
5) Enact legislation declaring that the General Government lacks any constitutional authority whatsoever to:
.
(A) seize by purported “eminent domain” any private land, or any water, herbage or timber, oil or gas, minerals, or other natural resources in, on, or under such land, within any State for any reason or under any conditions; or
.
(B) purchase any private land, or any water, herbage or timber, oil or gas, minerals, or other natural resources in, on, or under such land within any State without the “Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be”; and on the basis of such declarations, repealing or otherwise invalidating all “land-use regulations” and like controls, restrictions, and prohibitions of the General Government that deprive private owners of the full use and enjoyment of their properties pursuant to the laws of the several States; and
.
6) Enact legislation pursuant to Congress’s power to “provide for ... arming ... the Militia” in Article I, Section 8, Clause 16 of the Constitution to:
.
A) Repeal every statute, administrative regulation, executive order, or other directive with the purported force of law of the General Government, and to preëmpt every such measure, present and future, of any State or subdivision thereof, that:
.
(i) infringes upon or burdens the right of any citizen of or legal resident alien in any State who is eligible for membership in that State’s Militia to purchase, own, possess, transport, or sell, whether interstate or intrastate, any firearm, ammunition, or related accoutrements suitable for service in a “Militia” as that term is used in the Constitution for the united States;
.
(ii) penalizes any individual for his or her use of a firearm in self-defense of himself, herself, or any other individual;
.
(iii) infringes upon or burdens, except on the same terms as apply to any other business, the right of any person to engage in the commercial design, manufacture, repair, sale and distribution, or other trade or occupation of or involving firearms, ammunition, and related accoutrements;
.
(iv) imposes any sales or other tax, excise, duty, or other public charge of any sort on the gift or other transfer to or between an individual or individuals eligible for membership in a State’s Militia of firearms, ammunition, and related accoutrements suitable for service in a “Militia” as that term is used in the Constitution; and
.
7) Repeal the 17th Amendment and enact a new Amendment restoring the original constitutional plan of federalism in Article I, Section 3, Clause 1 of the Constitution, election of U.S. senators by their respective State Legislatures; avoiding the problem that caused the passage of the 17th Amendment by requiring only a plurality rather than a majority, for a candidate to win said election; and
.
8) De-fund and dismantle the U.S. Department of Education and any other federal influence on the minds of We the People and those of our children. We granted no right to the federal power to program our minds or to dictate to the States in that regard, since our State governments also lack any lawful authority to shape the minds of our children, and based on results over the past generation, also lacks the competence to instill even mediocre academic competence; and
.
9) Enact an Amendment to the Constitution requiring all federal budgets presented to the president be balanced; and
.
10) Enact legislation to begin securing our borders including the AmericaAgain! action plan to construct the U.S. / Mexico border fence as the first national project of this project’s CHSA teams. In said legislation, for instance, work could be performed according to existing design and specifications but aided and accelerated by private citizens using private donations of money, labor, equipment and project supervision and supplementing U.S. Border Patrol project security with State Guard, troopers, and other citizen defense and law enforcement agencies of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas for each State’s section of the fence. If such be the case, We the People would demand that all environmental, regulatory, and/or bureaucratic red tape be waived, such that said legislation may avoid the exorbitant time- and cost overruns common to government projects; and
.
11) Enact legislation declaring English as the official language of the United States; and
.
12) Enact legislation based on Senate Joint Resolution 6 (2009) to end the illegal alien “anchor baby” practice; and
.
13) Enact a Term Limits Amendment to the Constitution limiting the terms for all members of Congress to two (2) as is the case for presidents; and
.
14) Enact legislation abolishing all congressional pensions in the future and retroactively on every living incumbent and retired member of Congress; and
.
15) Enact legislation abolishing taxpayer-funded congressional perquisites including but not limited to limousines, aircraft charter, hairdressers, spas, and insurance premiums; and
.
16) Enact legislation imposing criminal penalties on any individual or group within the federal government who, unilaterally or in conspiracy with other individuals, transnational groups, organizations, or foreign governments, attempts to compromise the legal or financial sovereignty or borders of our 50 sovereign States without the specific knowledge and consent of the legislature of each and every State so affected.
.
We the People reserve the right to revise and extend the list of federal government arrogations, violations, and usurpations as they are brought to our attention for remediation.
.
After almost 150 years of increasing federal abuse and arrogation of power, We the People and our 50 States have thought ourselves powerless, our creature having amassed a limitless ocean of cash coerced from our honest labor – plunging us into a worse servitude than that which caused our forefathers to rebel against British tyranny, and new laws establishing socialist schemes totally repugnant to American values. We have thought of ourselves as having no voice in matters of life, liberty, property, or trillion-dollar rackings of the economy. As creators of the federal government, we have lived as its cynical creatures, bereft of hope.
.
But no more.
.
We the People of these sovereign States of America declare our resolve to enforce the foundational Law of the Land by which we gave birth to a federal government, under which we retained all powers not specifically enumerated to it and under which We have always enjoyed the power of vertical checks-and-balances, but have merely abdicated our duty to exercise such.
.
We hereby notify our 535 elected federal representatives that his/her attendance is welcomed at the citizen rallies and 'Tea Parites' as each local case may be, in that elected representative's own hometown. We The People are not hereby inviting our 'public servants' to speak at these rallies, but to LISTEN.
.
At these public rally events and thereafter, We the People shall gather together peacefully to recruit fellow citizens for local CHSAs, including Legal & Legislative Committees, to give permanency to our long-abdicated right to enforce the 9th and 10th Amendments against violators of the Constitution in the federal government.
.
Annual public observances shall include declarations as amended by the People as a public report card on Congress. We realise that the present level of public awareness and discourse among We the People is abysmal, yet we do not despise the day of small beginnings since most of us were 'educated' in government schools. The wheels of State justice may grind slowly in our newly-discovered right to enforce the U.S. Constitution; this shall not deter our determination to enforce the Law of the Land.
.
Mr. Hamilton laid out precisely the tactical plan of this project. We the People will recall our own corrupt member of Congress home from doing the bidding of wealthy individuals and powerful groups who own his activities behind the scenes. We will bring civil and criminal actions as a plaintiff group (aggrieved citizens of the member's own State), versus the defendant (corrupt member of Congress and citizen of the same State).
.
The Supremacy Clause, and federalism as represented by its proponents Madison and Hamilton (and by Mr. Jefferson, the champion of democratic republicanism) demand that tortious violations of the United States Constitution, and of a public official's own State statutes committed against the official's own constituents living in their common home State, must remain the exclusive original and appellate jurisdiction of the Courts of the State in which the parties reside.
.
Nothing in the U.S. Constitution or in American jurisprudence can be construed to hold that the federal judiciary in such cases can wrest original or appellate jurisdiction from the Courts of the applicable State: plaintiffs are constituents and taxpayers, defendant is their purported 'public servant' and representative, and all are residents of the same sovereign State. Funds are being taken from productive citizens under a tax collection scheme devised and overseen by Congress including defendant, a willful, knowledgeable participant in said scheme.
.
We the People assert for the record: we will not allow federal government to circumvent the criminal laws of our States by pleading that since our funds are diverted to account(s) of the U.S. Treasury in Washington, D.C., the matter is thus an interstate issue and federal jurisdiction. Congress has no authority to pervert the Supremacy Clause or to coerce citizens to fund unconstitutional powers, projects, offices, or programs.
.
We the People offer our members of Congress immunity from indictment under one condition: that (s)he will, in writing with notarized witnesses, repent his/her record of support for and/or acquiescence in, the aforesaid crimes against the Constitution and will sponsor or support legislation as outlined above and drafted by the national CHSA Legislative Committee, not supporting any amendment thereto except as approved by said Committee (should such exist) after said citizen body has had sufficient time to review the amendment before granting its approval.
.
Restoring the citizen Militias of the Several States is not our primary goal, nor even a secondary goal presently; we feel that peaceful exertions under rule of law are more effective.
.
However, millions of Americans are concerned about the present administration’s trajectory, accelerating the disarmament of law-abiding citizens. Moreover, the U.S. Constitution demands that federal government provide for State militias to maintain themselves in ready status. Thus, We the People, believing in peace through strength against enemies foreign or domestic, will become prepared and armed as free citizens in our own homes so that such arms might never be necessary.
.
We expect to be fortified by our Grand Juries, Prosecutors, and High Courts of these Sovereign States who will not be intimidated from their duty to enforce the U.S. Constitution though this first true exercise of federalism – the right of the parties to the US Constitution to enforce that Supreme Law’s limitations on national government.
.
With God's help, we hope to learn, together, the many duties that we have too long abdicated. We trust our neighbors who are experienced and adept in every area, to guide and train those of us who are ignorant or less adept, but willing to become our own Citizens' Homeland Security. We don’t need FEMA’s Orwellian-label “citizen corps” to take care of ourselves. Instead, we will show the world that when government stays out of our way, Americans can get any job done.
.
We the People of America will not be governed by what other nations may do. Even among us fifty Sovereign States, we are distinct sovereign governments with unique histories and cultures. We are in league with all people of the world who strive to live in peace without tyranny.
.
It is a fact of history that there will always be men in the world whose sole ambition is plunder, to amass insane wealth. Such chieftains buy and trade politicians as so many game pieces, world without end. An informed American population can greatly reduce such tactics because our federal government has no authority to project its military power across the globe on behalf of corporate chieftains. However high gas prices may rise, it is immoral and illegal to plunder resources that are not ours, and threaten people who present no threat to us. The public excuse (that the U.S. armed forces are merely establishing democracy) is ludicrous and hypocritical: first, We the People of the sovereign States never democratically approved such exploits; secondly, democracies are not made by invasion.
.
This century-old tactic presents a clear and present danger to the internal security of these sovereign States, as militant Islam’s retributive actions increasingly come to our shores. When the federal government sends its military to invade Muslim nations, We the People expect Muslims to retaliate on our shores; it is only natural. We refuse to see our own sons and daughters propagandized to believe that such activity is “defending freedom” when in truth it is mere defense of corporate plunder.
.
Though our federal government has been used by moguls of industry in this mercenary way for over a century, it is un-American. We the People are determined to restore accountability, transparency, integrity, and rule of law to our government; to at least greatly reduce this pattern of abuse by those who seek empire over the world.
.
All Americans seek to be good stewards of the natural resources that God has entrusted to us. However, the majority of We the People neither subscribe to nor wish to be burdened by, politically-correct but increasingly disproven claims of scientists whose continued funding depends on whipping citizens into perpetual false alarms, or by multi-millionaire scam artists whose personal carbon footprint covers the State of Tennessee.
.
The American work ethic has always stood opposed to principles of socialism, which has encroached on our lives and institutions for a century. We the People will now push back with vigor. We will trust God's providence for our future -- and we refuse to trust politicians, bureaucrats, and the powerful cabal who have owned them since Lincoln’s time.
.
This tactical project of We the People of these sovereign States shall not be co-opted, overseen, joined, or infested by politicians, lobbyists, or operatives from any level of government or by any political party, foreign or domestic.
.
America was founded as a Christian nation, yet We the People seek to keep our civil government forever free from theocracy. History illustrates that even self-styled Christians have oppressed and killed in the name of religion. Recognising the eternal antithesis between Islamic law and Western law (civil government), We the People will vigorously resist any government action that threatens to ratchet America away from our historic roots and towards Muslim practice.
.
We the People will organize in local units as free Americans in the privacy of our homes, businesses, churches, parks, and any other venue that suits us as the Owners and residents of those places. We shall neither plan nor shall we operate in any unlawful, seditious, riotous, rebellious, or terroristic manner, but as is our right as Americans, we shall operate freely, without government oversight, infiltration, or coercion as is common in tyrannical regimes.
.
We acknowledge the God-given right of We the People to be properly armed in our own homes and on our own persons for self-defense, but this citizens' project is not a vigilante action. We stand opposed to armed collective action – including public drills, muster, or practice – until such time as our respective State Legislatures enact citizens' Militia legislation as is assumed in the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
.
Should our member of Congress refuse to stop violating the law; should he prevaricate, obfuscate, or bloviate as politicians often do, or return to Washington D.C. to conspire anew with like-minded scoundrels and moneyed oligarchs who purchased his first allegiance, We the People will gain his criminal indictment in our State Courts.
.
In cases where our congressman or senator refuses to obey the Supreme Law of the Land, we shall seek the longest possible State Penitentiary terms and as actual and punitive damages for multi-trillion-dollar fraud and conspiracy, seizure by his/her own State of all property held in trust or under any structure whatsoever, in any jurisdiction in the world whatsoever, inuring to the benefit of the member of Congress or his/her family or descendants.
.
To any State Grand Jury, State District Attorney, or State Judicial Official that cannot or will not appreciate the gravity of these crimes or who refuses, whether by complicity, timidity, coercion, or subornation, to oversee justice under the Constitution: We the People shall elect and seat your replacement who will enforce the Rule of Law against corrupt members of Congress.
.
This citizens’ effort, called AmericaAgain! has been conceived not by politicians or special interests, but by We the People of these fifty sovereign States of America. Forces of greed and corruption have sought to sunder this last best hope of man on earth; but in our constitutional Republic under Rule of Law, even a diligent minority of 'mere' citizens, operating peacefully and lawfully, are America's highest law-enforcement authority, ensuring social order and restoring the security of life, liberty, and property.
.
Each member of the U.S. House of Representative and the U.S. Senate have established a public record that now speaks for itself in history. By their response to this citizen enforcement of the Constitution that they have perennially violated, they shall now demonstrate their repentant fidelity, or their ignominious corruption.
.
May God bless this formerly godly Republic, that we may live to be AmericaAgain!
.
WE THE PEOPLE
of these sovereign States of America
