We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

We're about at that point again. Our federal government no longer follows the constitution nor our founding principles. When the government becomes destructive to our liberty and no longer defends our God-given unalienable rights it is our right and duty per the Declaration above to alter or abolish it.

Now, I'm not proposing to abolish it, but it definitely needs to be altered by we the people.

When all three branches ignore the constitution we have a serious problem. The wimps in congress have proven over and over that they don’t have the will to fight and it’s now painfully obvious that the supremes are not willing to do their constitutional duty either.

Government has failed us. The congress is toothless. The courts have failed us. Election mandates are ignored.

So now what?

Well, luckily for us, the Founders foresaw this problem and gave we the people a constitutional tool to fight back. We the people through our sovereign state governments can elect to send delegates to an Article V convention to propose amendments to the constitution.

Also, luckily for us, as of the last election the Republicans control something like two-thirds of our state governments, so if we’re ever to succeed at something like this, now is the time to strike.

Article V is the constitutional reset button provided to we the people by our Founding Fathers. If you are not familiar with Article V, please read up about it on conventionofstates.com. This is not a scary constitutional convention to rewrite the entire constitution. It would be an effort led by the states to rein-in the runaway federal government and to reclaim and restore sovereign rights and powers to the states and the people. Definitely worth a try and definitely better than the final alternative.

Please take this seriously and read up on Article V at conventionofstates.com.

In the meantime, we need your continuing support to keep FR on the air.

FR is funded solely by contributions made by the liberty loving patriots who enjoy and use it.

We are beholden to no political party.

No advertisers, no outsiders, no sugar daddies, no corporate string pullers.

This means no commercial ads. No annoying pop-ups. No ad tracking. No mail campaigns. No spam. No one trying to control us.

Definitely no government subsidies or tax breaks.

We are self-funded, fiercely independent and enjoy our freedom to speak plainly in the support of God, family, country, liberty!!

But we cannot exist without you.

Every donation counts no matter how big or small. If you can donate $5, $10, $20, $100 or more, it would be greatly appreciated.

Your loyal support makes Free Republic possible and your continuing participation makes FR the number one pro-life, pro-family, pro-small government, pro-defense conservative forum on the Net!!

And we’re going to need FR now more than ever to combat the current crop of Marxists and progressives who have infested our government and public institutions and who are dead set on destroying the final remnants of our cherished constitution and our precious God-given liberty!!

Please click the secure server link above or donate by mail to: Free Republic - PO Box 9771 - Fresno, CA 93794

Make it a monthly if you can. We have some very generous FReeper sponsors kicking in an extra ten bucks for every new monthly signed up. And we have 1 new monthly so far this quarter.

Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tc’s growing list of 300 Club patriots. I_be_tc sends in $100 per quarter and challenges 300 others to do the same. And we have received 14 donations of $100 or more so far this quarter. If we could get 300 FReepers to send in $100 per quarter, these FReepathons would complete much faster.

Please get your donations in early so we can wrap this baby up within 30 days.

Thank you all very much!!

God bless.

THE 3RD QUARTER FREEPATHON HAS BEGUN!

Thanks to the generosity of our many regular monthly donors, a
good portion of our monthly operating expenses can be reliably counted on.
Unfortunately, that still leaves us a shortfall, which
is why we have to have a fundraiser every quarter.

If Free Republic means as much to you as I think it does,
won't you take a minute and sign up for automatic regular donations?
Freedom isn't free. Your support is vital.

Freeping on a sofa on a Saturday afternoon.
Listening to the candidates’ debate.
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you’ve got to choose
Every way you look at this says “Cruz”

Where have you gone, Ronald Reagan?
Our nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
What’s that you say, Mr. Robinson?
You are keeping that spirit alive today!
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

I’d like do a little bit to help you help yourself,
So I contribute monthly with a smile.
Look around you all you see are sympathetic eyes,
Lurk around the forum until you feel at home.

And here’s to you, Mr. Robinson,
Jesus loves you more than you will know.
God bless you, please Mr. Robinson.
Heaven holds a place for those who pray,
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

God bless you, from this monthly contributor. As the rest of the world seems to be slouching to Gomorrah, or perhaps lurching to Laodicea, it’s nice to know that there is one corner of sanity left. May Free Republic remain forever unwithered!

PS: your software results in the most navigable forum in existence. Trying to find who was talking to whom on Stale Air or Ace is a nightmare by comparison. Could you sell your system?

Chesty puller quotes:
“Don’t forget that you’re First Marines! Not all the Communists in hell can overrun you!”
“Take me to the Brig. I want to see the “real Marines”

Semper Fi to all our servicemen and veterans today. Though we got beat up last week, we renew ourselves today. We are Spartans.
