Another Open Letter to Washington, D.C.

Another Open letter to Washington DC


“Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” ~ John Locke

On Wednesday, November 4, 2009, I posted an open letter on this forum addressed to Washington, D.C. I posted a similar letter to one of my websites, http://www.homeland-defender.com on February 1, 2010. Given the events of the last week, I feel that I must write another letter to the former federal government in Washington D.C.

On March 21, 2010, democrats in the house of "Representatives," with their vote on so-called "Health Care Reform," have now declared their itention to completely abrogate the Constitution of these United States. Further, with their vote, the deomcrats have declared war on "We the People" from whom they purport to derive their just power, and have committed an overt act of agression on the American people. With that vote, the compact between "We the People" and the government we created to serve us, and to protect our FREEDOM has ceased to exist. Therefore any "law, rule or regulation" originating in Washington D.C. is null and void.

Given that the "federal government" is now completely OUTSIDE the confines of the founding documents of the country, the "federal" government is hereby put on notice that from this date forward, I will not comply with any "law," "rule" or "regulation" purporting to be the "law of the land." If the "federal government" decides that failure to comply with illegal and unConstitutional dictats from said "government" makes one an OUTLAW, then I shall PROUDLY wear the title.

I will NOT submit to the "authority" of any "federal Court of Justice". Further, if the "federal government" or its "agents" attempt to coerce me into compliance with their illegal and unConstitutional edicts, I will resist with force any such attempt.

I have a further message for anyone in the "federal government." As long as you work for the federal government, you are working for a COMMUNIST government and if you do not IMMEDIATELY resign your position, you are my enemy. I have spent my entire adult life opposing this EVIL ideology, and I will NOT submit now.

From the lowliest file clerk to the top of the chain, as long as you retain your position with this illegal and unConstitutional "government" YOU ARE THE ENEMY of the people. Be advised, as the enemy, you will be treated as such.

From the first moment that any "federal agent" goes against ANY American for failure to comply with any "law, rule or regulation" then any and every federal employee becomes a target of our just wrath. Keep in mind that when the push back starts, it is going to become real ugly real fast.

"Found in: John Adams, The Works of John Adams, vol. 4 (Novanglus, Thoughts on Government, Defence of the Constitution) - NO. III. - paragraph 144

"Obsta principiis (translation: resist the beginnings), nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society."

FREEDOM!

I’m going to give the court a chance to correct themselves. theses unconstitutional acts however must be disregarded as clearly unconstitutional and null and void.

But I won’t declare the Federal government permanently illegitimate in all areas until I have a State government to define such.

One man rejecting the existents of the Federal Government alone is a fools errins, need to build support.
We must instead build support and until that time act evasively.

Dumb, dumb, and really dumb. You are just making yourself a target of which no one will support at this point. Plus, as I sent you in my e-mail, why would you make some poor little no-nothing gov worker the enemy?

They don't know shit and just follow orders and are happy just to have a job. It's the Congressional power-mongers who need the attention and lesson. What? You want to make some clerk working in some government cubicle your mortal enemy? Really?

You've lost your ever-loving mind, my friend. After reading this rant, who do you really expect to support you if the SHTF?, now that you have intentionally put yourself on the Homeland Security grid? Even with all your enthusiasm and weapons training, you just made your self useless. Thanks for that. I was counting on you.

I'm not a conspiratist nut job, but I was hoping you would be a leader if push came to shove. Call me a "whiner" like you did, but you just made yourself the first target. May be you think that's all good for you, but when the time comes, we will need leaders - you are no longer such. You are simply a radical target now to the establishment.

Enjoy your martyrdom out there in your desert wilderness. Like I told you in my e-mail, if the military follows the political Generals' orders, they will move on yhe cities first and just by past you as all the great generals did from Alexander the Great to the Roman empire, and then deal with the "insurgencies".

If RWII were to happen, it won't be because of you being the first to fire a weapon. It will take a large organized group with State support to ignite it.

Now, no one will accept you into a leadership position after this dumb ass article. I know I wouldn't. You screwed the pooch, my friend. So, I'm "whining" again (frig you). As I said, enjoy the thought of your martyrdom. I will attend your funeral and us who develop a strategy will move forward.

I wish I felt stronger to be this outspoken. Right now the local govt is all over us & I surely dont want to push the envelop. At mid 60s & care giving my invalid 90 year old mom, I feel pretty vulnerable

"I admire your zeal. I admire your spirit."

Yes, good stuff, but if things go bad with States reasserting their rights, and some people taking up arms, we will need leaders. My long time friend of Free Republic and VetsCoR and real life just made himself a target and minimalized his own power. With that post, he made himself out to be some kind of radical nutcase that is going to do whatever. I will no longer be associated with him. I have other plans.

Even though I'm sad about his rant and we're talking about it, I can say I have no plans to attempt to overthrow the Fedgov. Get me?

Neil has made himself a target. If the individual States, however many, were to take up arms to reassert their sovereignty, Neil’s death will mean nothing. Plus, I was hoping he would be a leader. Apparently, he wants to be a martyr. Bad choice.

Best,

Several points Rodger.

First, would you agree that there is a communist coup going on before our very eyes?

Second, do you remember the saying "Silence is consent"?

Given that the marxists are IN FACT conducting a coup to turn this country into a communist nation, and to trash the Constitution that the leaders swore an oath to protect and defend, any federal employee who remains on the job is consenting to the coup, and is in fact aiding and abetting the enemy that is attempting to completely destroy the country and our way of life.

That makes any federal employee who remains in their job, from janitor to file clerk to supervisor and on up the chain of command right to the top, complicit in the coup, and makes them THE FRACKING ENEMY!

I will not apologize or withdraw the charge I make in my open letter. The enemy is the enemy. And if that hurts their feelings, TOO DAMN BAD!

Now, your last paragraph made me chuckle. I am not looking for any kind of "leadership" position with anyone. I would much prefer that the communist enemy now subverting my country and the Constitution to just go away and leave us all alone, but that is NOT going to happen.

You can sit out the coming fight on the sidelines if you wish, but do not lecture me on my language or on my calling the enemy the enemy. I will continue to call it as I see it, and if that does not meet with your approval, so be it.

FREEDOM!

Oh, and one more thing. “No more Fort Sumters” Our side will not be the ones starting the party by firing first. The plan of the enemy is to push and push and push and try to provoke a reaction so they will feel “justified” in declaring Martial Law. However, sooner or later, when they can't provoke the reaction they want, they will do something that will justify receiving our righteous wrath

When that day comes, hold on to your butt, the ride is gonna get awfully bumpy after that.

It’s never really the BEST idea, certainly, to make one’s self a target for the enemy, that’s sure true, Roger... BUT at some point we are all going to have to draw our line in the sand (or concrete, for a preference) and Neil’s reached that point, FOR HIM. He has, not unreasonably (for him), declared his independence from and of FedGov. He has also declared that he will NOT fire the first shots. I support him in that move, especially with the caveat that he will not shoot first.

It’s important to put these people on notice, especially the “law” enforcement agencies. The BATFags, the FEEBS and the drug cops (none of whom can, that I can see, justify their jobs constitutionally, by the way) ALL have pretty sorry records as far as violating even the most BASIC Constitutional guarantees of liberty. And in the two most infamous cases of recent history, it was the BATFags that started the dance and the Feebs that finished doing the dirty deeds. Of course I speak of Ruby Ridge and Waco, some of the most vile OPEN abuses of power ever in this nation. And it’s the DEA that goes after doctors for “over-prescribing” certain drugs, I guess because it’s a rare doctor that will shoot a “cop”... In that respect, these creeps are not unlike the cops in the city I live in. We’re facing a city government going bankrupt and we have to rein in the outrageous salaries our “protectors” get, so our fearless boys in blue have essentially advertised that there’s little to no police presence in town, INVITING all the thugs and gangbangers from miles around to come here and run rampant. We’ve had NUMEROUS murders, beatings and serious violent crime. So what do the boys in blue do? Why, they man up their “DUI” (money-machine) check points and also make the front page of the paper for busting hookers and their Johns. Presumably, since their avowed purpose in life is to make it home safely at day’s end, they choose targets that are NOT known for putting up any resistance. Like many of the Fed Cops, at heart they are cowards. They and the vast majority of said Fed Cops would sh!t themselves if they came upon serious resistance. Which is likely to happen one day when they try enforcing the wrong edicts on the wrong people.

Then CW II is going to kick off and we will be on that rollercoaster ride for the indefinite future. What a fun thing to look forward to, huh? Because, as Neil believes, as I believe, as many of us here and at other spots throughout the country believe, WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT ANY MORE WACOs, ANY MORE KATRINAs, ANY MORE RUBY RIDGES. We won’t have a Fort Sumter, we WILL have the moral high ground. And for those of us who have, time and again, sworn that oath to protect and defend the Constitution for the United States, WE WILL UPHOLD THAT OATH. For I mean to see our Constitution RESTORED to its rightful place in MY lifetime, so that my sons and my grandkids won’t have it to do.

Roger, perhaps Neil phrased things in a manner that you would prefer he didn’t, but that doesn’t take away the validity of what he said, nor does it really put him at odds with any FedGov employee who is not an armed “enforcer” of whatever stripe.

I think it’s time to start re-reading “Unintended Consequences” (by John Ross) once again. Or maybe read the published parts of “Absolved” by Mike Vanderboegh, which can be linked from his http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com site. I just hope he can get it finished and published so I can get my copy before the balloon really does go up!

Best to you, my friend,

DC Wright

"First, would you agree that there is a communist coup going on before our very eyes?

I find it insulting that you would even ask me that - you know me better after all our years together. Geeze, how many times have WE been out there on the streets and different events when WE saw this coming before most? Think back a little bit.

"Second, do you remember the saying "Silence is consent"?

Do you remember the guerrilla fighters of the Revolutionary War? They were silent. They were clandestine in their operations. Think.

"Given that the marxists are IN FACT conducting a coup to turn this country into a communist nation, and to trash the Constitution that the leaders swore an oath to protect and defend, any federal employee who remains on the job is consenting to the coup, and is in fact aiding and abetting the enemy that is attempting to completely destroy the country and our way of life. That makes any federal employee who remains in their job, from janitor to file clerk to supervisor and on up the chain of command right to the top, complicit in the coup, and makes them THE FRACKING ENEMY!"

Jeeze, man, your talking about lowly GS clerks. They don't know any better. They simply want their low-level GS jobs and go home, even as ill-informed as they are. When did your commonsense go out the window? You want those lowly fedgov employees deaded? Really?

They are not the enemy. They are simpletons who don't know better. Again, you want to make them your mortal enemy with the "health-care debacle" and other shit coming down the pike that will impact them negatively, and maybe some of them wise up? Really?

"Now, your last paragraph made me chuckle. I am not looking for any kind of "leadership" position with anyone."

That runs contrary to everything I've known about you for a decade. You may have not been "looking" for "leadership", but have naturally ascended to such. Hell, YOU mostly built VetsCoR, not to mention your other related individual efforts. It comes natural to you and you have never ignored the calling as long as I've known you. Maybe not the very top, but leadership anyway, and I always admired you for it.

Back on topic, you're just so p*ssed-off that you now need to vent. Okay, but you're just going to be more cannon-fodder with this stupid crap, when we will need experienced management abilities.

"You can sit out the coming fight on the sidelines if you wish, but do not lecture me on my language or on my calling the enemy the enemy. I will continue to call it as I see it, and if that does not meet with your approval, so be it."

Right. I'll "sit out the fight" and "whine", according to YOUR version of who I am now. Like I left my b*lls handing in some Philippine bar.

Yes, I will lecture you about your grammar/language when you ask for my input about articles you want to write on a public forum, which you did. You used to want my feed-back all the time as we were forming VetsCoR's charter and mission statement, not to mention the AZ property. You really shouldn't go there. Oh, and BTW, how did Sterlings 17th Amendment repeal work out? I told you and VetsCoR it was dead on arrival.

Fight who you will, but I won't have anything to do with violence against stupid low-level bureaucrats. Personally, I think there are bigger targets (also non-violent) within the system. You apparently don't want to here a voice of reason because it doesn't work with your anger and frustration, which I can understand. Fair enough.

You actually think RWII will start over you? You and I both know you will be painted as a nutcase. Think Ruby Ridge. We should agree to disagree on some points. However, collect your original VetsCoR thoughts and think:

STATE NULLIFICATION and LAWSUITS, THAT ARE BUILDING EVERY DAY!

You want to fight a winnable fitht? That's where the fight will be. TEA Parties are fun and rewarding and make conservatives feel good (WE did it first), but we still got Obamacare, didn't we?

What's left? Are you ready for a States' Rights fight? I am. I've been promoting it for some time, even while others ignored or boo-hoo my proposition. Well, guess what...

As of today, there are 13 States that filed immediate lawsuits regarding certain unConstitutional clauses in Obamacare - within minutes of him signing that maxist law. Virgina has also filed their own fed lawsuit for other infractions , and there are many many more States looking at their standing and how to word their lawsuits as not to be immediately thrown out.

Neil, I love you brother, but the time has not come for RWII. The time has come for States' Rights reassertion as you and I and all of VetsCoR tried to promote so many years back. We/USA are on the cusp of such an effort. It's happening, it's growing, and I ask that you support it. Nevada is ground zero for getting rid of the worst of the worst - Reid.

Best

DC, I agree with much of you stated and disagree about other points.

Guess, my bottom line was that I was hoping Neil would be a leader in States' Rights efforts as mentioned above. He is probably just venting, but knowing the Fedgov and their capabilities, he is now a real target. Which means he has lost any leadership ability if STATE NULLIFICATION or the various STATE LAWSUITS don't prevail.

I seriously don't know what to do if States' Rights don't prevail. I know what I'd be willing to do, but I would require ground leadership. As a Swabbie, I have none. Then again, as Neil being a Swabbie, he has none either. If the SHTF, it's going to be up to Marines and Army infantry to lead the way.

Other than supporting States' Rights, I am at a complete lost. There will be no Lexington or Concord. Life is much more complicated now. I'm truly at a lost if State's Rights are not the way back. Neil thinks I've given up. I haven't and never will, but what if the SHTF? Feel free to Freepmail me. I've always respected your opinion. Thanks for the reply. Best to you, Marine ANV
