A Petition for Constitutional Restoration

We, the People of these United States, who are the source of authority for the Federal Government and its very existence, do hereby petition and demand that all Federal officials, elected and appointed, review their Oaths of Office which they freely and solemnly swore to or affirmed, without mental reservation of purpose of evasion, to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic and bear true faith and allegiance to the same.

We petition and demand that these Federal officials, who are but agents of We, the People, all of whom have taken this oath, to cease and desist from any and all activities which contravene the clear and concise words of the Constitution, the supreme law of the Land, and the specific grant of authority to said officials from the People. We petition and demand that these officials to do and perform only the very limited activities of government enumerated within that same Constitution.

We, the People of these United States, therefore do hereby demand and require that all Federal Employees, elected or appointed, stand down from, and cease all activities which are not specifically authorized, within the Constitution as specified in the Tenth Amendment.

We hereby inform our agents of our intent to restore the Constitution to its rightful place as the supreme law of the land, either through their vote in accordance with these demands, or through our own vote and activities, reminding our agents of the circumstances whereby this nation was formed when the agents of the People of that day overstepped the bounds established by nature and nature's God. We solemnly inform all Federal officials that We, the People will see misfeasance, malfeasance, outright corruption and usurpation of the Constitution punished appropriately.

We, the undersigned People of the United States of America, do solemnly and firmly commit ourselves to Constitutional Restoration in these United States according to the sentiments, statements, petition, and demands enumerated herein. We pledge ourselves, our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor, and our all to that endeavor, so help us God.

I'm loving the statements of the signers. Here's a few:

For the sake of and for the future life and lifestyle of my children and my grand-children, who are God-fearing citizens and law-abiding Christians, I do solemnly swear to defend, with life and limb, the sacred and supreme document of Laws, Liberties and the People's "unalienable Rights", framed by the Founding Fathers of our Beloved Nation and Representative Republic, which is The Constitution Of The United States Of America. I cannot live with myself knowing that my descendants could rise up one day to curse my apathy and cowardice, which I expressed through my silence and inaction, as our great Nation in 2009 was being deliberately "RE-MADE" into a Marxist-style, totalitarian "Collectivist State"!

We believe the Constititution is plainly spoken enough in many places to clearly show intent that many of our current elected officials are not following. Indeed, many are actively seeking measures, legislation, and precedent that is obviously contrary to many parts of the Constitution that are plain to understand, and beyond speculation of interpretation. As such, they will be treated as violators of their oaths if they do not change course immediately. Violation of the oath of office is grounds for removal, and if unable to be enforced, they will eventually be removed by ballot box.

I fought for our country once and will do whatever it takes to preserve our constitution - Anything! That is not only a Threat but also a Promise.

The Founding Fathers would be proud of this petition! We have lost too many of our freeodms from both the right-wing and the left-wing of the politcal spectrum, and are rapidly becoming a fascist state. This is NOT what I want left to my children!

Rights are not given by Government...they are only taken away. Time to take our Constitution back from those who soil it.

Toward FREEDOM!

This one too:

Every bill, amendment to a bill, resolution, or action taken by the Congress of the United States should have a pre-amble showing which section, paragraph, or clause in the Constitution of the United States of America authorizes the action contemplated in the proposed legislation. If it cannot be associated with any legitimate, Constitutionally delegated power, then the bill should be deemed automatically unconstitutional because that is the way I reckon it! If it isn't constitutional then it isn't legal. Also consider that with each passing day the threats to our liberty magnify especially with that illegal alien, usurper in the White House who is planning to create a perpetual tyranny with himself as a permanent czar of the Socialist American Union that he is fashioning with his cohorts! Remember where you read it! It is all spelled out in Professor Mark Levin's book, "LIberty and Tyranny". Read it, dammit, read it! You are losing your hallowed and beloved Republic!

And of course this one, from Ward Dorrity here in Idaho:

The values I hold and the principles that guide me are in direct opposition to the Star Wars bar scene running the show in Washington, DC. Murder of the unborn, treason and socialism are NOT family values. They are not MY values. They are crimes against God, Man, nature, justice and reason. And so it is time - long past time - to stand up and call things by their proper names. If you believe as I do, if you want America to remain a free society governed by the rule of law and not by the whims of men, then join me and so many others who are now standing up to make their voices heard. There is hope for the Republic yet and you are most definitely not alone. But you must stand up and make yourself heard, as this may be your last chance to do so for a long, long time - if ever again. Silence now will prove to be deadly later. Now, because I am a patriot and a rifleman - like my father before me - I have sworn the following oath: I, Ward Dorrity, 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 pledging my life, my fortune, and my sacred honor. So help me God. If you disagree, well - the rest of this message is for you. Ayn Rand, writing in her 1946 afterword to Anthem had this to say: The greatest guilt today is that of people who accept collectivism by moral default; the people who seek protection from the necessity of taking a stand, by refusing to admit to themselves the nature of that which they are accepting; the people who support plans specifically designed to achieve serfdom, but hide behind the empty assertion that they are lovers of freedom, with no concrete meaning attached to the word; the people who believe that the content of ideas need not be examined, that principles need not be defined, and that facts can be eliminated by keeping one's eyes shut. They expect, when they find themselves in a world of bloody ruins and concentration camps, to escape moral responsibility by wailing: "But I didn't mean this!" Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating or condemning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. If you are an Obama supporter, then you have accepted collectivism and the premises of the ideas that support it. Like it or not (and perhaps you do), know it or not (and perhaps you don't care), you have opted for slavery of the most insidious type. Those choices have consequences. Those consequences start here, now, with me. That distant thunder that you may hear rolling through far-off hills is war. War is coming. Here. Soon. And, like my father before me, I am prepared. I am prepared to honor my oath.

The signers of the Constitution, familiar with Latin and Greek history, understood that popular vote leads inevitably to mob rule, polarization of the population, internal strife and civil war. Recent history of USSR and China show that centralization of economic decisions results in massive poverty. We are bombarded with threats of impure food, water, lack of medical care, pandemics, all supported by unexamined statistics. To what end? That we should relinquish our sovereignty to a corrput UN? That we should surrender our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor to world bankers ? Restore our Republic. Restore our Constitution. Poor & Free beats rich & degenerate.
