America has entered probably one of the most exciting and yet frightening moments in her short and remarkable history or atleast in our lifetimes. We find ourselves today so polarized and bitterly divided as a people that as our nations true guardians, we may not ever be able to really unite for liberty ever again.
It's not our fault, we have been and are currently being manipulated and divided against one another by the very people we rely on and have entrusted with great responsibility for the security and well being of this Republic and our people. They are failing us on an epic scale.
I believe it's safe to say that our elected officials in both parties are one of two things, either incredibly incompetent or corrupt to the core. Which ever one of these is for you to decide for yourself. We the people must become united to fully understand exactly what and who we are up against and identify the problems that we see within our government. We must focus our attention on the root causes of these problems and the obstacles that we must overcome to reinstate and secure our freedoms once more.
I believe money in politics along with a corrupt and evil monetary syatem has caused a culture of greed and sinister intentions against the American family, the middle class, our economy and our Constitution. Corporations have grown so large and have become so consumed with increasing their wealth that they have literally taken total control of our elected representatives, our courts, our laws and legislation, our economy and even our media.
We have a media that we the people are supposed to be able to trust and rely on for accurate and non-partisan information. Instead we get misinformation and partisan rhetoric from a wealthy corporate sponsored media that is just as incompetent or corrupt.
There seems to be very little ethics or integrity in journalism that exists today as many stories are just inaccurate, and many only come from a single or very few sources. Then it's copied and repeated ad nauseum through other media as it filters down.
How about this? Our elected leaders don't even read or write much of our legislation before they begin either agreeing or disagreeing in their phony staged debates and corporate backroom deals. Come on, nobody really believes that your congressman is working 40-60 hours a week writing up our laws and reading all of this stuff do they? Of course not, most of the time our legislation is written by rich corporate lobbyists and their attorneys.
Who are these corporate and financial lobbyists? Believe it or not, many times they are retired former congressmen, former aides and staffers and even presidents that have experience working the system for other corporate lobbyists and special interests groups.
Think for a moment about our family members, our friends, our coworkers and our neighbors. We probably get along with them just fine don't we? Do we think that they are enemies of the Constitution hell bent on destroying America as a "socialist progressive" or "right wing racist extremist"? Whether we're a republican, democrat or whatever, wouldn't it be fair to assume that not everyone we know has the same political ideology as us?
So where does this anger come from? Notice that you are perfectly fine with your countrymen until you look to the news? Our media consists of corporate millionaires paid by billionaires to bring us the "information" that we need, and our elected representatives use them to manipulate and divide the people with heated and divisive rhetoric. Both sides are very clever in the way they demonize and label each others supporters to create conflict that distracts the people from them and their near criminal actions. What we have here is a one party system masquerading as two.
This dangerous divide and conquer strategy using a false left vs. right paradigm has got to stop and the only ones who are going to stop it is the people. We cannot rely on the media or our leaders to reform themselves and to break away from the greed and corruption that controls them. As you can see, this is a monumental and nearly impossible task when you realize what we the people are up against. The people have to figure out a way to unite against a corporate machine that has it's grasp on our leaders and our media that seek to keep us divided at all costs.
The root of our problem is special interests and corporate money in government, their wasteful spending, lack of transparency or accountability and the theft of OUR money to bail out their financiers that created this global economic catastrophe. Their incompetent overbearing and needless regulations and their lack of meaningful and much needed regulations has been for the benefit of international bankers, corporations and special interests groups.
These multimillion dollar lobbying groups push for what's profitable for the corporations, not for what's best for the people nor do they show any regard or responsibility for the American economy or family.
They are interested in creating personal wealth, not jobs. All of this at the expense of the destruction of the very country and people who made them successful in the first place.
The new citizens united decision by the SCOTUS granting corporate personhood was hailed by my fellow conservatives as a victory for free speech. Why? Because Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck said so? These people make tens of millions every year, they are paid by billionaire corporate bankers to tell you how they are fighting for you, us, the middle class.
This SCOTUS decision granting {multi-national foreign owned} corporations which have...you guessed it...foreign interests, (Rush leaves out those things) the right to funnel an unlimited amount of money to elect and influence OUR representatives and there is no way the people can even come close to competing with that kind of funding.
Corporations are NOT people. Does anyone really think that the corporations take a vote from all of their employees on their political views, so they can figure out how best to donate to a campaign to represent their "persons"? Really? Seriously? Yeah, I don't think so either. I bet it's based on what will make them and their board members more profits.
Don't get me wrong. I want people to go out and be successful, mega rich, to realize the ultimate in the American Dream, to be all they can be and to build big noble corporations that create jobs and a prosperous American economy.
However, when their greed leads them to close down their doors to the American workers that made their dream a reality, open up shop overseas because they can hire cheaper workers, take advantage of the trade laws that harm America to increase their tens or hundreds of millions into billions it becomes unAmerican. To do this at the expense of the American workers and the economy with no sense of responsibilty for the destruction of a nations economy and her people is beyond unjust. I have a big problem with the media and politicians defending this as what the founders intended or what we are supposed to interpret as the American Dream.
Corporate greed is very much responsible for destroying American jobs, lowering American wages so that it now takes two parents working to stay afloat, when back in the day it just took one to provide for all the needs of a family and enough to save for retirement. All of this because of the legislation and regulations or lack thereof that the corporations have created for themselves through the purchase of our government and media.
Yet here we are, being hoodwinked into fighting against our own middle and lower class interests for the corporations who have partly caused this economic mess were in....better yet, they have us fighting against ourselves and calling our countrymen on the left socialists that want to destroy the world and the tea party crowd a bunch of angry white racists extremists. They even have us calling to lower THEIR taxes. Why? I'm guessing so that they can create more cheap foreign jobs to increase their wealth even further.
Now ask yourself, what if government became fully transparent and accountable, spent our taxes wisely especially here at home first and proved it could be competent all while lowering taxes and creating an economic surplus? Would you mind a portion of your taxes going to make sure that your fellow Americans had healthcare and other essential services that benefited our nation and our economy?
Or is it better to just keep wasting money on useless projects, aid to corrupt foreign nations and government agencies that constantly lose millions and sometimes billions of dollars that become completely unaccounted for while your neighbor is struggling to pay for potentially life saving healthcare procedures or treatments?
Can't we do many things for our countrymen while increasing and guaranteeing our constitutional liberties for the people at the same time? Yes we can. Why? Because we are Americans and we can do things in a unique and special American way that compliments what we are all about and what we stand for as a proud and united people.
What we have before us is the rarest window of opportunity to be a part of true historical and revolutionary change and reform that we nor our grandparents have ever seen. If we allow this moment to be robbed from us like everything else, we may never see it again...certainly not within our our lifetimes. This is where we come together and make our stand, to refuse to be divided from our fellow countrymen and to save our Republic and the unique representative democratic process that is being destroyed. Do you want to be part of a new peaceful and yet history making American revolution? As a former tea party activist when I said "I want my country back", this is what I meant.
The time to stand up and reach out is now. I've been saying for awhile now, we are not our enemy. John Stewart on the Daily Show recently said as much which really surprised me, and I'm thankful that he knows it and said it.
Now, if there is a New World Order as some suggest (and has passed through our own world leaders lips recently), then please join me in an attempt to stick a great big American Flag straight up their collective asses and set them back hundreds of years. Or at least join me in getting our government back in check by transferring the power back to the people through a nationwide (YET LOCAL) ground up revolution. You can start by joining your local coffee party, tea party or any patriotic group and begin uniting with your fellow countrymen in your community. It is time we educate each other, listen to each other and realize how much common ground we really share as we all love our country. We all want what is best for America and should work with each other personally instead of listening to what our politicians and the media say we should believe about one another. We should also at the very least inform our fellow Americans about GOOOH and other local patriotic groups that have good ideas about empowering the people and are growing.
UPDATE 4/23/2010: This list has now been updated after working and just simply talking to other fellow Americans of differing opinions and it will evolve yet even more. Just A Sample of the Things We Could Achieve As A United People!" We may not agree on all of these, but I think you're getting the idea that we must work together, think outside the box and do what has to be done. Feel free to contact me with your ideas.
We want "real" presidential debates, not 60 second answers to complex questions.
We want journalists to stay impartial, fair, independent, objective, and to keep their opinions to themselves.
We want the people of each state to get a chance to vote either for or against instant runoff voting.
We demand that our tax dollars be put to good use to solve American problems first. We still have uneducated people who can't read and are homeless. Stop giving our tax dollars to corrupt foreign governments who keep it from the people anyway. We are the most charitable people in the world; if we want to "donate" then we will donate "our" money and we do more so than anyone else! Our taxes should never under any circumstances go to a foreign entity without a popular vote by the people who will have the FINAL say.
We want complete transparency of our government, meaning we want to see the itemized money trail of how our tax dollars are being spent, so get used to being audited every year. Just like the American people, if you can't live up to your job responsibilities and meet the requirements of the job, then you get fired.
No bills shall pass through congress for a vote without being "COMPLETELY" read by our elected officials and discussed in a town hall meeting in the city or state that the elected officials represent. This should last at least 1 hour and be televised locally. No vote shall occur until all elected officials have satisfied this requirement.
Yes, that means "YOU" Mr/Mrs. Elected Official, actually have to work and answer to your constituents rather than your special interest or lobbying groups, so no more ridiculous prolonged vacation time for you. Welcome back to the real world.
No more private jets for politicians travels (unless they own it). If they need to travel on business, then they can drive, use public transportation or hitch a ride with a military flight. They need to spend more time with us "common folk" and our soldiers anyway.
We demand that 50% of our troops on foreign soil, return home to defend the United States of America. We do not need to be the world police. If we truly believe in democracies, then we should honor the will of the people in other countries who despise us and want us out. In other instances, we are tired of watching our soldiers lose their lives for ungreatful backstabbing people who are too cowardly to fight for their own freedoms in their own revolutions, yet brave enough to cheer on the deaths of our soldiers and dance for joy in the streets when they see us attacked. However, should human rights abuses take place such as genocide or the threat thereof, or if a repressed people stand up for themselves and collectively and in massive unity call on America for liberation from tyranny, America's people will surely listen and do so.
We demand the dismanteling of the U.N. or the withdrawl from as well as evicting them from the United States soil, they've wasted our money and stabbed us in the back for long enough. They should feel lucky that we don't storm the building and charge money to piss in the fountain. The U.N. like so many other organizations have fallen very far from the good and noble works of the past and the noble intentions it was meant to serve. It has become an American taxpayer depending organization that takes every opportunity to embarrass our country and our people while emboldening nations that wish us harm. We've paid more than our fair share and it has been swindeled, unaccounted for and unappreciated. No more free rides at our people's or nations expense.
If a vote is put to the people, then only the people can reverse that vote. No judges will have any authority to reverse the will of the people short of human or civil rights abuses.
Repeal the Patriot Act. Some provisions may be kept in order to keep our homeland safe. However, anything that affects our personal freedoms or liberties as guaranteed by the Constitution shall be immediately terminated.
Reversal of the 1975 SUN-PAC decision. For the people that don't know, this is where the corporate corruption begins in Washington. It was the 1975 SUN-PAC decision, which basically legalized corporate political action committees. In 1974, there were only 89 quasi-corporate PACs; a decade later, this had exploded to 1,682. By 1992, corporations formed 67 percent of all PACs, and they donated 79 percent of all contributions to political parties.
Returning the power back to the states and the people thereof. The restoration of the Republic by freedom from the banking and corporate special interests that plague our nation and people.
An immediate suspension of the "Bailout Funds", it's time corporate businesses and banks be allowed to fail. We insist the banks pay back the money to the people as originally agreed upon with a fair market interest rate. We don't loan money for free, sound familiar?
Legalize marijuana, I welcome a debate on this. Too many people are incarcerated in mandatory drug sentencing while rapists, murderers, and thugs get out on early release. Marijuana should be heavily taxed and have the exact same regulatory guidelines as alcohol and tobacco. We need some serious common sense on this whole failed war on drugs scam. Besides it would create investment and tons of jobs in record time, it's a no brainer, the economy needs it desperately. Anyone care to guess how many jobs and how much revenue was created in the first year after the prohibition ended?
Putting high school, college kids and young adults who have their whole lives ahead of them in prison for something we ourselves have likely done is beyond ignorant.
Do we really want to be hypocrites? We put a guy that lied about smoking pot (Clinton), a guy that had a cocaine and alcohol addiction (Bush), and a guy that knew how and why to "inhale"(Obama) in their pasts, in the office of the President of the United States of America. Had they just been unlucky and had gotten caught as a dumb college kid, they might still be incarcerated today!
Protect our borders from law breakers by placing the national guard on the borders and simply enforce the immigration laws currently on the books. Create a simple and effective guest worker program that embodies what America is and has always intended to be about. Make English the official language of our nation but without mandating that it must be spoken anywhere.
We want the Social Security situation to be completely revamped in a fair and sensible way. No more using SS tax money for anything other than SS recipients, period. This is non-negotiable. No more robbing Peter to pay Paul. No more ponzi schemes. Make sure our retirees and seniors get the assistance they deserve and make sure it is fully funded and accounted for.
We demand a complete overhaul of the tax code and that a (type) of flat tax system is put in place. No loop holes and no exemptions. Just a quick sample idea:
Combined Home Incomes of:
Below $100,000/yr will pay NONE
$100,000-$350,000/yr. will pay 10%.
$350,000 -$5,000,000/yr. will pay 20%.
$5,000,000-$10,000,000/yr will pay 33%.
$10,000,000/yr. and above will pay 50%.
These figures shall NEVER increase and will include SS and Medicare taxes. If the government doesn't think this is enough, too bad, make it work. It's called making a budget.
We demand a pledge much like the famous pledge to put a man on the moon, to reach COMPLETE energy independence within 10 years. Whether it's nuclear, wind, solar, geo-thermal, fossil fuels (to help us get there), or a combination of all of these or any new technology that may be developed such as cold fusion.
This does not mean charging the same or more for a renewable wind power for the benefit of some corrupt corporation. We demand that Americans get some sort of self-contained energy generation system for American households at a fair (one time) price.
We have the smartest scientists, engineers and business people in the world, so stop screwing around and make it happen. Hell, with the bailout funds (our tax dollars) you could have given every single American household an effective solar/wind system for their homes and saved hundreds of billions.
If we are concerned about "moving forward" in the 21st century and we are complaining about "global warming", "energy independence", or "worrying about some future grid failure" or for those that favor sustainability and self sufficiency, then why the hell do we even have a "grid"? Trust me, there are people out there smart enough to figure out how to profit from the new industry.
Fix the damn education system already. We the people should have a choice of where we send our children to school. We will no longer be forced to send our children to a school that is dangerous or fails them academically. Straighten it out.
While we're at it, we can create a 2% luxury tax of big ticketed items, fancy cars, fancy boats, insanely expensive jewelry, mansions etc. of which the proceeds will go to doubling the salaries for teachers(criteria driven), first responders and the enlisted military.
The federal government will no longer threaten individual states with federal money because the state did something the federal government dislikes. Short of human rights abuses, states rights and the votes of the people trumps all.
Bringing manufacturing, steel and other vital industries back to American workers.
Reversing the tragic supreme court ruling on corporate personhood. Personhood for corporations and unions is a scam. Remember many of these corporations are foreign owned which means they have foreign interests and have billions upon billions, as do the unions and the many other special interests groups versus the average American citizens to pour into corrupt and incompetent politicians campaigns and advertising. Amending our Constitution is a good idea. Click Here to Read but it takes too long a time; we need something more immediate until we can amend it as pointed out by one of my new "progressive" friends. No I'm not being "brainwashed", "suckered" or "hoodwinked" by the socialist left, drifting to the "dark side" or anything like that. Just open to ideas that will benefit both the people and our Republic regardless who comes up with them, such as these from democrat Alan Grayson (who coincidentally I don't agree with on anything and has also had his meddlings in the tea party movement) but a good idea is a good idea...it's called being bipartisan. I looked it all over and these seem to be some of the fairest proposals as of yet on this issue.
Some modifications need to be made with bipartisan support to make sure these are restricted to the multi billion dollar multi national corporations and the "big money", not the smaller local, regional and sometimes national corporations that are creating jobs, paying fair wages and benefits to their employees and keeping the jobs here at home.
A) The Business Should Mind Its Own Business Act (H.R. 4431): Implements a 500% excise tax on corporate contributions to political committees, and on corporate expenditures on political advocacy campaigns.
B) The Public Company Responsibility Act (H.R. 4435): Prevents companies making political contributions and expenditures from trading their stock on national exchanges.
C) The End Political Kickbacks Act (H.R. 4434): Prevents for-profit corporations that receive money from the government from making political contributions, and limits the amount that employees of those companies can contribute.
D) The Corporate Propaganda Sunshine Act (H.R. 4432): Requires publicly-traded companies to disclose in SEC filings money used for the purpose of influencing public opinion, rather than to promoting their products and services.
E) The Ending Corporate Collusion Act (H.R. 4433): Applies antitrust law to industry political action committees.
F) End the Hijacking of Shareholder Funds Act (H.R. 4487): This bill requires the approval of a majority of a public company’s shareholders for any expenditure by that company to influence public opinion on matters not related to the company’s products or services.
Major highway infrastructure upgrade and cars for the future. Anybody remember the fantasy of flying cars when we were growning up? Well how about cars that drive themselves? Anyone feel like taking a nap or reading a book on the way to your destination? Since this idea requires roadside sensors, I have to believe that this would create a ton of jobs upgrading our highway infrastructure as well as better fuel economy and better for the enviornment. Not to mention the result of significantly less traffic fatalities. Check it out here.
When we achieve several of the latter initiatives and have a nice surplus because of transparency, accountability and competence in government through "wise domestic" spending of our tax dollars, we can work in a free market and uniquely American and exceptional way to bring every countrymen the EXACT same healthcare as congress has now. Because until we can bring it to Americans in the right way, through wise budgeting, spending, transparency, accountability and competence in governing....congress should be responsible for finding their own insurance as if they are self employeed, until they can earn their plans back. As well, when we tackle that issue, we can also ensure a free community college or state techincal college education to any American with a highschool diploma.
H.R. 1359: Enumerated Powers Act requires Congress to specify the source of authority under the United States Constitution for the enactment of laws, and for other purposes. This is another one you should contact your representatives about right now and is probably one of the most important on this list in my opinion.
Cut Prescription Drug Prices: Under the principle of Equal Justice Under Law, We find it unconstitutional to permit drug manufacturers to make their drugs abroad and bring them here, but to prevent individuals from importing the very same thing. We find that prosecuting individual Americans who wish only to stay alive is insane. Therefore we order every agency of the Federal Government not to investigate nor to prosecute any individual American citizen who brings legal, life-saving medicines into our country.
Bring Back Exported Jobs: We need to locate domestic sources for clothing and equipment used by our military. Too many of the computers vital to our national defense, and even the very uniforms our service members wear into combat, are made by our competitors or by those who shelter under our defense umbrella. It does not make sense that we should ask our troops to protect those who are profiting off us, and it weakens our national security for our economy to be crippled by the export of jobs. The families of our troops need the work more than our foreign friends and adversaries."
End Expensive Mercenary Contracts: The use of mercenaries to guard our embassies and perform other tasks customarily performed by our armed forces is extremely expensive. In addition, mercenary armies recruit some of our most skillful troops by offering insanely high wages. Therefore, no new contracts will be issued to mercenaries, and we will end existing contracts as soon as possible, saving the American taxpayer billions of dollars while putting America's security back in the hands of our Constitutionally-authorized Armed Forces.
Audit the Big Fish, Not The Small: Over the last decade, the IRS has changed its audit procedures to nearly ignore the wealthy and to target working class and the poor. This is at best irrational; any businessman knows that you should invest limited audit resources where the dollar amounts of recovery are likely to be higher; therefore we demand the IRS to make the likelihood of audit proportionate to wealth and/or income. Incidentally, all members of any presidential cabinet, as well as the President and the Vice-President, and all members of Congress, will be audited on a regular basis, not because they have anything to hide, but solely to increase the confidence of the American people. They shouldn't ask us to go through anything they would not.
We demand our elected representatives issue a formal apology to China and the rest of the world on behalf of American citizens. We the people of the United States of America hereby cancel any and all financial debt to foreign entities effective immediately. Our government grew corrupt and stepped out of bounds with our Constitution. While our government may have been elected, they were not authorized by us the people to sell out our country and place us in any debt to foreign institutions. We feel that the jobs, industry and military weapons that you have been able to gain from the American people is enough to call it even. We apologize profusely on behalf of our government, and we will not allow this to happen again in the future.
SPECIAL NOTE/CLARIFICATION: ALL OF THE "SOCIAL ISSUES" PROPOSED WILL BE LEFT UP TO THE PEOPLE IN THEIR STATES. WE DEMAND THAT A POPULAR VOTE ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE ISSUES IS PUT TO A BALLOT BY THE PEOPLE IN EVERY SINGLE STATE & MAY NOT BE OVER TURNED UNLESS DONE SO BY THE PEOPLE...NOT JUDGES.
If a state wants to legalize marijuana, allow gays to get married, or whatever issue you may/may not agree with, it has to be left up to the people and their states.
We're all Americans and we must respect the freedom of our fellow neighboring countrymen to choose what is best for their local communities and states. This is another way the corrupt two party system has been dividing us for years. We should accept that people in different states have different viewpoints that should and must be respected.
That's the whole point of having sovereign states with their own constitutions.
You put the power back in the peoples hands in their respectful states and both sides will get what they want in some form or fashion, we don't have to fight amongst ourselves for decades and decades with only more division to show as a result.
If you don't think your community or state represents you, you have three choices.
1) Get Up, Get Out and Get Active. Become involved and you represent your voice. Make yourself heard.
2) Move to another state that represents you better.
3) Sit down and shut up.
If we are trying to force either a "right wing", "centrist", "left wing" or any ideology on everyone in all 50 states on a federal level, then we are part of the problem (that's most of us). If we remotely believe in the "NWO", "Antichrist", "Big Brother", "Fascism", "Totalitarianism", or whatever...then we are actually assisting "their" cause. How can we possibly think this way and profess to be for states rights or the rights of the people and our Constitution?
We need much bigger tax incentives and less red tape for manufacturing companies that keep jobs at home (especially manufacturing), and we must increase the red tape and eliminate any US government assistance or special tax priveledges for corporations that cut jobs at home to go overseas. When we have corporations that receive insane tax cuts so that they can "supposedly" reinvest back into the growth of their company to grow and create jobs, we the people expect it to happen here at home.
All to often these corporations take their tax cuts and bailout on America, taking jobs over seas, continue to layoff employees and raise bonuses for their CEO's.
It's time to demand that corporations meet the demands. If you get tax breaks, then we expect this many new entry level jobs created, this percentage of promotions with wage increases by this date. If obligations aren't met, you get your tax break and special incentives revoked and a very heavy fine that gets paid to the people in the form of a tax credit during tax season.
I have a message for the NWO should you exist. Your plans will never succeed in this great country. You see, it's easy for China and other communist countries to control their people when they don't have the rights to bear arms.
Here in America, we all have guns, and many of them. If you think the "insurgency" in Iraq was something. Wait until Americans unite against you for a common cause. The last thing you want to see is Americans become united.
When "Billy Bob", "Ray Ray" and "Pedro" pile into a pickup truck together to hunt you down, then you will realize just how overwhelming of a problem you undoubtedly face. Basically, you haven't seen anything yet and you have no idea what a united freedom loving people are truly capable of when faced with tyranny.
What you fail to understand is that the police officers and military across this country are our brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, family, friends, neighbors and fellow Americans who love their country. Extremes on both sides need to realize, a huge majority of law enforcement and military are on the side of the people and are NOT corrupt, they're you. It is impossible for the NWO to get our military to follow a NWO agenda of tyranny againt the people despite what anyone thinks.
Hell, I doubt "they" could get 10% of them to follow orders to ever disarm Americans. Aside from that fact, there are about 65 million gun owners in this country.
They (the NWO) would be heading down a path to their own destruction and I assure you it will be very swift. They are greatly out numbered and out smarted. So to the global ruling elite, if you are out there and you want our guns and our liberty, then Molon Labe! I am on to you, and I am letting my fellow countrymen who will listen, know. We are starting to realize that we were claiming to be awake when we were merely in a dream state. We are beginning to snap out of it. We are talking. We are exchanging ideas. Every day, more and more Americans are beginning to reach out to one another in unity. You are in danger, your plans are about to come to a screeching halt. We are beginning to step out of our comfort zones and challenge ourselves and others in ways we never thought of before. We are coming together in unity one day at a time and educating ourselves and empathizing with our fellow countrymen. The only "puppet masters" here will be the American people.
I am most disappointed in our new government agency the Department of Homeland Security. I along with many others, am now considered a possible terrorist because I can no longer support the traditional two party system set up. I'm a Christian, I believe in the Constitution and I question the motives of OUR government and may consider supporting a third party. I also happen to believe that the states have power over the federal government which is only granted through them by the people.
I guess I am in good company along with my honorable fellow Americans that happen to be away fighting the very same terrorism that they now claim our own soldiers could possibly be guilty of committing against their countrymen in the future. This is done with the classification of our soldiers and other American citizens as possible terrorist enemy combatants through the MIAC report and the HIIDE system. Just dispicable and unforgiveable.
Let me assure you (the corporate controlled government), we will peacefully replace you. You should consider yourselves lucky if we are successful! Our founding fathers wouldn’t have been so kind, and I'm getting the feeling that the next generation of patriots won't be either.
Ms. Janet Napolitano, we have a right to freedom of speech. We also have the right to dissent and the right to free assembly and to petition our government for a redress of grievances. Whether we believe in the constitution, animal rights, environmental issues, religious and/or spiritual freedoms or whatever, we can do this legally without being labeled a terrorist in the eyes of OUR government. Former President Bush, President Obama, DHS and anyone else who thinks they can frighten or silence us with divisive labels in order to steal more freedoms can go ahead and respectfully kiss our red, white and blue asses! This Is Our House!!!
We Are Not Right Wing Extremists Or Racists! We Are Defenders Of The Constitution, Our Citizenry & The Quiet Allies Of Our Military! We Are Three Percenters!
I modified this video because I do not believe in covering my face or hiding who I am as though I were a terrorist extremist who is somehow a danger to the society, country or my fellow countrymen that I am committed to should the worst case and unthinkable scenario of government tyranny and oppression ever threaten to become a reality. I will not be divided from or against my people...period.
Thanks to all the corporate owned talking heads from the media and talk radio who have helped the "lesser of the two evils" stay in power and helped them succeed in bitterly dividing this nation. I don’t always agree with you guys, but unlike some I believe you are patriots deep in your hearts and not part of a Corporate/Government conspiracy (at least you had better hope not).
However, you (the media)are becoming part of the "enemy within" that will be removed along with the crooked and criminal politicians should we the people decide to do so. We the people, want you to prove to every American whose side you are really on by holding our elected officials feet to the fire with hard hitting and honest journalism.
Use your platform to expose them to the people for our nations sake. You know this is the only way to fix our system peacefully and that it's the right thing to do. We (The People) are waiting for you to join us. Your silence is deafening and your divisive partisanship is nothing short of heart breaking. We don't need you to make history, but you're welcome to help us and become a part of it. We depend on your honesty and integrity to make informed decisions that will affect all of us. Are you with the people? Where are the ethical men and women of courage and integrity in journalism today? Please step forward.
It all starts with you. If you love our country and you believe as I do that we can save her before it's too late, then put your political differences aside and let's make a serious revolutionary change...together. Let's come together and honestly exchange ideas and then send these assholes a message that overwhelmingly and undeniably screams mandate.
I want to emphasize again that this must be a massive "grassroots" movement that neither the media or the government can even begin to prepare for or imagine, it's already there and ready for you to get involved and take action!
We may not agree on everything and see the world differently, but we can agree that we need to put this country on a more serious path for the 21st century before none of us have the opportunity to live the American dream. No more bandaid fixes, it's time for fundamental and revolutionary reform designed to free us from our fraudulent monetary and financial systems, empowering the people, strengthening the Constitution and freeing the people from a corporate government once and for all.
How many times must the people be let down by governments incompetence, lack of common sense, and inability to work together for the common good of this country and its people? They have ruled the nation long enough, it's our turn now.
It starts with the three most basic and important of rights, personal liberty, states rights and gun rights. I hope you read through all the quotes, watch all the videos and just think about them with an open mind. It's atleast worth informing yourself about.
If you think I am a crazy lunatic, extremist, dreamer, or whatever, then that is quite ok. I completely support and will defend your First Amendment right to say so however misguided you may be.

F.A.Q.'s
Q: What is your political affiliation? A: I will not hide from who I am and what I believe nor should I have to. I am an old school democrat that holds dear the ideals of fellow democrats JFK and Zell Miller with some elements of conservatives like Barry Goldwater and Ron Paul. Extremely fiscally conservative, socially liberal, eco-concious, fiercly patriotic and dedicated to the Constitution of the United States. I voted republican since Bob Dole through McCain. I regret it now, I only voted for McCain because of Palin. I did not vote Ron Paul, but wish I had now. I have only recently awakened to the political crisis and divisive nature of the two party system. I am truly sorry to you all for my personal past ignorance as an American.
Q: Are you religious or spiritual? A: Yes, I am an unapologetic follower of Christ.
Q: Are you a professional or bonafide organization? A: No. I am just someone that lost my job,lost my home and I'm pissed about it. I'm sick and tired of watching my country disappear and I want to do whatever I can to take it back!
Q: Why do you like Ron Paul all of the sudden? A: Because much of what he said and predicted has come true. I honestly thought he was a bit crazy, turns out he was right on the money. He is the only candidate that truly supported our individual and constitutional liberties. Do your homework and see for yourself.
Q: If you are a democrat then why did you vote republican for so long? A: I felt that the democratic party had abandoned its principals and had become so divisive and hypocritical. In my opinion the democrat party is no more, it has become a blatant hybrid of a wierd socialist/fascist movement. I now understand that it was just part of the divide and conquer tactic that the republicans and democrats have been engaging in for years to keep us divided and the focus off of their true intentions for our personal liberties and our country.
Q: Do you believe in the NWO? A: Yes. I do now, and you should too. If our own world leaders are using the term now so openly, they must feel comfortable with the effect their koolaide has had on the general population that they can safely discuss it out in the open now. Wake up.
Q: Do you believe the Obama birth certificate scandal or conspiracy? A: I don't know, but I have to wonder why is he spending tons of money to keep all of his records sealed from the public? Didn't he promise a transparent government? If it's not true and it's no big deal then why not just release it and be done with it?
Q: Do you believe in the 9/11 inside job conspiracy? A: No. Not yet. I don't want to believe it, if it is true then this country is going so far beyond "1984" on so many levels that it's not even funny. However, I do believe that enough time has passed to ask some very important and tough questions and that a new investigation must take place. If it is proven, then people must go to prison and face the toughest consequences imaginable. This investigation will not happen until congress is replaced.
Q: Why all this now? Where were you during Bush's reign? A: I am truly sorry. I was misinformed and fell for it all hook, line and sinker. But know this, this website has been around since the middle of 2008 before there were any tea parties. It's evolved considerably several times, but the message has always been the same. I can promise you this though. I, like many other past Bush supporters, blame Bush for our monumental loss of liberties just as much as Obama.
If McCain would have won, the sentiment would be the same that you are seeing now, the economy would be sucking and the bitter social divides would be just the same. Obama just happens to be the one in office...it's an unfortunate coincidence, there is no partisanship here but there are the ingredients for the perfect storm. I strongly believe that the social divides among our countrymen, while it's something we are afraid to address, is something that MUST be addressed after we reform our government and economy. In our pledge of allegiance we claim that we are indivisible, I pray that we can make that a reality some day.
"Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of Liberty is a history of resistance. The history of Liberty is a history of limitations of Governmental power, not the increase of it."
Woodrow Wilson
"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle! Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Frederick Douglass, August 4, 1857
“The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. ... The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.”
Joseph Story
"If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, and give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses;
And the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they do now, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains around the necks of our fellow sufferers;
And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third, and so on 'til the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering...
And the forehorse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression."
Thomas Jefferson
“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them.
The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army—Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; this is all we can expect—We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our own Country’s Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world.
Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions—The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny meditated against them. Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and shew the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.”
George Washington, General order, July 2, 1776.
