An open letter to The United States Congress.
Let me begin with a simple question. Does this sound remotely familiar to all who hold government Office?
" I (your name) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
Millions of American military, have taken the Oath, and faithfully live by it even after leaving the service. Now, I have a problem with those individuals who swear to an Oath of Office, on the Holy Bible and immediately summarily dismiss the Oath as just a pesky necessary step for being seated in their elected office. I am only into the second paragraph so surely you remember the Oath of Office (that would be the preceding paragraph) and the part that says you will "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic" The following violations of the Constitution are clear evidence that you neither protect, nor defend the Constitution, and Congressional Records undoubtably contain empirical data that verifies these violations . Let me provide a bit of elucidation on what I see as going on.
1) For decades the Government has meddled in the internal affairs of other countries, without Constitutional authority causing foreign nationals to direct their hostilities toward us. This in turn has resulted in increased terrorism attacks on our country, and at military installations and embassies around the world. Consequently, in the guise of Homeland Security you have all but denied our Fourth Amendment rights, and the General Welfare of a free people.
2) For many decades we have been involved in undeclared wars in violation of the War Powers clauses of Articles I, and II.
3) Without any constitutional authority whatsoever, we are gifting, lending public money, and credit to private corporations expressly for private purposes, many of us call it "corporate welfare".
4) We have a fiat (flat) currency which is in violation of the money Clause, Article I; The government is emitting trillions of dollars worth of Bills of Credit through, or under the auspices of the Federal Reserve System again in violation of Article I. We are incurring Trillions of Dollars of debt in payment of expenditures for programs and activities that are not in the enumerated powers of the Constitution, Article I, Section 8, and therefore not authorized.
5) We have a fraudulently ratified 16th Amendment (1913) in violation of Article V, a direct, un-apportioned tax on labor in violation of the tax clauses of Article I, we also have a judicial system that refuses to consider the evidence, in violation of Article III.
6) We have unenforced immigration laws in violation of that mandate, plainly articulated in Article II, the President is required to "faithfully execute" all laws passed by Congress.
7) We have a President that has not provided unequivocal proof that he is a natural born citizen, Article II, Section I of the Constitution. A natural born citizen is the very first requirement to be elected President.
8) Why are voting machines counting our votes? In essence our votes are counted in secret. We have a Constitutional right to vote, and a Constitutional right to know the votes are being counted accurately.
9) We have an absence of well-regulated state militias, and we have federal gun control laws, all in violation of the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
10) For decades, their have been violations of the sovereignty clauses of the Declaration of Independence, consequently the United States is, and has been entering into treaties, contracts and relationships with foreign entities, and giving authority to international bodies, dissipating, destroying, and undermining Americas Sovereignty.
11) Citizens Privately owned land is being taken for private purposes rather than for the common good of the people. This is in violation of the Fifth Amendment.
12) We have a government that has become the Health Care Provider and every American will be ordered to purchase a product, taking away our freedom of choice. This Health Care Reform Law is not one of the enumerated powers as specified in Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution. Again, yet another violation of the Constitution.
13) We have money bills originating in the U.S. Senate, in violation of Article I, Section 7, of the Constitution.
14) We have a Senate that is using a super majority vote to decide whether to enact a law. Without an amendment to the Constitution, this is a violation of Article I, Sections 3, 5, and Article 5.
These violations are, and have seriously challenged the Constitutional Republic of the Un1ted States, and her people to its core.
Finally in summation, we have government officials who, for years, have refused to honor their fundamental obligation to respond to the People's First Amendment petitions to redress their grievances, a violation of the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
There is a rising tide of distrust, disgust, anger, cynicism, and loss of confidence In our government. This angst among the citizens of this great country is spreading like wildfire. A word to the wise should be sufficient, you should heed what has been covered in this letter. Start living up to our Oath of Office.
For many of you November 2010 will be your Waterloo, you have been nothing short of ignoble in the stewardship of our resources, and I can assure you, word of your performance is spreading across this country very rapidly. The bottom line is we will be coming for you in November.

April 19, a Date of Historical Significance
An important day in history is rapidly approaching, and it is all but forgotten by the vast majority of Americans. On April 19, 1775, 235 years ago, and about 15 months before the Declaration of Independence was written, The battles of Lexington and Concord were fought, they were the first battles of the American Revolutionary War. It was during these battles that the well known quotation "The shot heard around the world" evolved.
Some 700 British Army Regulars, under the Command of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith were given secret orders to capture and destroy the military supplies that were reportedly stored by the Massachusetts (MA) Colonials at Concord. They (Patriots/Militia) were aware that their supplies were at risk of being confiscated, or destroyed. As a precaution they took measures to divide them up and dispersed them to several locations for obvious reasons. The colonials also knew that if they lost the battle they would undoubtably be taken prisoner, tried as traitors to the King, and executed.
The Colonials chose to fight. The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington. The Colonials were outnumbered and had to fall back and regroup. The Colonial Militia was composed of ordinary citizens ranging in age from teen agers to the elderly. They ultimately regrouped and soundly defeated the British Regulars, This was accomplished by the Colonials utilizing unconventional methods of fighting that the British Regulars were not accustomed to fighting against, mainly sniping, and ambush.
The Colonials saved their military stores, and more importantly demonstrated they had the right, and the will to protect themselves, their families and their property. They stood up against, and defeated a superior force, of professionally trained soldiers in the very first battle of the Revolutionary War, a war that carried on for 8 years (1775-1783). Subsequent to the Battle battle at Lexington, The Continental Congress Commissioned George Washington as Commander in Chief of the Continental Army on June 19, 1775.
This brief article is not meant to be a history lesson, it is much to short for that, but just a reminder of how we became a free and independent Nation. Our Second Amendment Rights in the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution was inspired by the actions of the brave men of the Massachusetts Colonial Militia.
Dare I wonder are we entering an era that history is repeating itself? The King of England wanted to disarm the citizens of MA, the citizens stood up, resisted and won. We currently have an administration that wants firearm confiscation, by circumventing the Second Amendment, and signing up to Foreign Treaties (CIFTA and the United Nations Global Gun Ban) that would abrogate our right to keep and bear arms, and destroy the sovereignty of our country by usurping the power of the United States Constitution. I do see parallels. Remember, an armed person is a citizen, and unarmed citizen is a subject. We must never forget who we are and what we stand for.

Will our Sovereignty Survive?
I am deeply saddened, angered, distressed, and fearful, of the inimical direction this Marxist President, his band of Chicago strong armed enforcers, Czars, are taking our country, and how the compliant majority in Congress are usurping the power of the United States Constitution.
America is in its greatest peril since World War II. There is a real possibility that we the people are in jeopardy of losing our country, and sadly the government that President Abraham Lincoln spoke of in his Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863, may cease to exist. He said;
(in part); "………….It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall have not died in vain--that this nation under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that the Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Just as in Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address we the people fervently resolve that the government that President Lincoln so aptly described in his address is cherished by all true Americans. We hope and pray that the Founding Fathers essence of what America should be, will remain intact in perpetuity, for the American people, and this great country.
This President, his Czars, political appointees and his administration are the antithesis of the dictates of the United States Constitution. They have shamelessly breached their Oath of Office, which in itself an impeachable offense. They take the Oath of Office, and swear on the Holy Bible, "to preserve, and protect the United states Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domesticate", and without hesitation summarily dismiss the Oath as a pesky requirement for holding the office to which they were elected.
A breach of the Oath of Office is a very clear insight to ones Character, in terms of honesty, integrity, and ethical practices. Clearly, having been identified as breaching ones Oath of Office, is evidence that their word is not to be trusted, and consequently do not deserve the respect, nor the confidence of the American people.
In our relatively short history as a country, some two and third Centuries we have been involved in no less than thirteen armed conflicts or wars. These wars/conflicts range from the Revolutionary War (1775-1782), to the latest conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the ten wars in between. Some of them of major proportions with hundreds of thousands of our young brave men, and women paying the ultimate price by sacrificing their lives, and hundreds of thousand more carry the scars of war, and many are seriously disabled. They sacrificed so that we may live in freedom.
It is with disgust, anger, and disdain that we, the American people are suffering under a regime (yes, regime) that has no respect for the military, and the millions of men and women who have served, fought for, defend our country, and preserved our freedoms. If this regime is allowed to continue down this road of oppression, and intrusiveness in our personal lives, and forcing a Marxist style government upon us, it will deny us our Rights, by controlling every facet of our lives. If this does on fact happen then all of the sacrifices that our brave men and women have made over these last two and a third centuries will have been in vain, and that my fellow Americans/Patriots, would be a sad epitaph to the once vibrant wonderful nation called….America
I happen to believe that we will survive this. That this too shall pass, and good always triumphs over evil, and oh yes the truth will set us free. The people should not fear the government, the government should fear the people.
God Bless America and all of her Patriots!

"Birther" or Constitutionalist?
"Birther or a Constitutionalist? An individual can be both if examined rationally. Let me explain, I am an ordinary natural born citizen and have the Birth certificate to prove it. like most Americans, I have been required to produce documents to prove who I am and where I was born, when I was born, what time I was born as well as who the attending physician was. This document (Birth Certificate) was registered with a raised seal and was safely stored in the County Seat. Clear so far?
January 1952 obtain drivers license (produce a duplicate copy of my Birth Certificate), In January 1955 I joined the United States Air Force (produce a duplicate copy of my Birth Certificate), In April 1955 apply for a Wedding License (produce a duplicate copy of my Birth Certificate), early 1960 registered to vote (produce a duplicate copy of my Birth Certificate), January 1968 application for a U.S. Passport (produce a duplicate copy of my Birth Certificate). These are times I can remember having to meet the requirement to prove who I am, and where I was born.
Now, Mr. Obama who was running for the highest office in the land, President of the United States, and is now President, has somehow managed to escape the very first requirement to be eligible for the office of President. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 succinctly states "No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States at the time of the Adoption of the Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President......"
The rationale is quite simple. If ordinary Americans are required to provide documentation to [prove who they are and where they were born in order to get a drivers license, join the military, apply for a marriage license, register to vote etc, etc. Someone explain to me as well as millions of Americans why this guy is exempt from meeting the very first requirement to be the President of the United States. Mr. Obama could end all of this controversy by producing his original Birth Certificate with the Registrar's raised seal and signature. He won't, so I can only surmise that he is hiding something that he doesn't want the Amercian people to know.
May God Bless America.
