12 Fundamental Constitutional Principles
Posted on 09/19/2009 8:22:22 AM PDT by Jeff Head
Pastor Stephen Broden has joined with Freepers Neil E. Wright, David C. Wright (dcwusmc), Matthew Bracken (Travis_McGee), Ward Dorrity (noumenon) and myself (Jeff Head) to form and start, The Independent American Movement for Constitutional Restoration.
Here is the official announcment and press release for that effort:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Independent American Movement for Constitutional Restoration established. Boise, ID September 19, 2009 In the spirit of the founders of this nation and the limited, Constitutional Republic that they established based on fundamental moral and republican principle, and in the spirit of the awakening American public all over this nation, an independent, non-partisan, constitutionally-oriented effort has been established called the, "Independent American Movement for Constitutional Restoration (IAM-CR)." This effort is directed at restoring the US Constitution to its proper role and place in our society and Republic through the Constitutional principles upon which it was founded. It is not a political party and it is not a PAC (Political Action Committee). Rather, it is an independent effort to get conservative, constitutionally-minded, and faithful Americans all across this nation personally involved with the political process at the local, state, and national level and focusing squarely on the Constitution and constitutional principles as they choose candidates to support. Through such personal responsibility and involvement, replicated millions of times across the nation, the people can then take back the political process from the big party political powers, special interests, lobbyist groups, and growing socialistic and marxistic influences that are corrupting it and destroying the nation. Commenting on the effort, Pastor Stephen Broden of the Fair Park Bible Fellowship Church in Dallas, Texas, and a member of the Advisory Board for the movement, said this: "I think the Independent American Movement for Constitutional Restoration effort has great potential for focusing the energy that's already out there to restore the Constitution. Let's go forward with this outstanding effort while protecting it from the opportunists who would use it for any malicious reason."Explaining more detail associated with the movement, Jeff Head, the National Coordinator, said this from Boise, Idaho: "This effort is straight forward. We intend to influence current representatives and officials by petitioning them for redress. That redress being that they strictly fulfill their oaths to the Constitution of these United States according to the fundamental principles that the Constitution was founded on, and the plain language of the Constitution itself. We intend to deliver hundreds of thousands, if not millions of signatures on this petition to congress in the summer of 2010 before the mid-term elections. That petition can be found at: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=110770273356The twelve statements address the following topics/issues:
All twelve individual principle statements can be read in their entirety online: http://restoretheconstitution.ning.com/notes/PRINCIPLES The Independent American Movement for Constitutional Restoration has the acronym "IAM-CR" which means, "I AM Constitutional Restoration", and conveys the principle that each individual citizen is responsible for Constitutional Restoration within their own sphere of influence. We urge citizens across this nation to review and sign the Petition Drive for Constitutional Restoration directed at current representatives and officials: Petition for Constitutional Restoration in the USA (on Facebook) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=110770273356 We urge citizens and candidates to become a part of the movement helping Constitutional Restoration sweep this nation at: Constitutional Restoration http://restoretheconstitution.ning.com/ Finally, the Independent American Movement for Constitutional Restoration will operate on a completely volunteer basis with no donations to the "Organization", no salaries, no stipends, no dues. Individual members will give of their own time and money to efforts they personally oversee and are involved in. Someone hoping to join an organization where they can find a salary or monetary career will not find it with this effort. As a result the effort will not be beholden to anyone...not to political parties or candidates, not to advertisers, not to special interests, not to lobbyists, not to anyone...except the individual members who will make whatever contributions necessary at the local, state, and national level that they can afford in time and treasure for those efforts they are personally involved with. Simply stated, our own liberty and the process by which we vouchsafe it through the Constitution must be worth the time and effort of us as individual citizens. We believe it is, and we believe that when given the opportunity, American citizens all over this nation, by the millions will prove this theory. It is past time that we the people spent our own time and money on those efforts we passionately and sincerely believe in, and not give it to someone else to do it for us. God grant this effort and others like it to restore our Constitution and the principles it was founded upon to the prominence and stature that was their original intent, and to stand, next to each individual's own faith and love for their families, as the next most prominent issue in their hearts and minds.

CONGRATS TO ALL CONCERNED.
THANKS THANKS.

Checking them out now.
Jeff, Aunt B is great. She has been steady on the immigration issue.
Jeff, we need a document which we can copy and use to give to any politician running for office, local, state, or national, asking them to state in writing their beliefs on all of the 12 catagories. We don’t need to give them the answers we expect, just their personal stand on those issues. The answers would give us the best tool with which to base our support and votes.
self-ping for later
Patriots thinking ping!
THANKS.
Happy to vote per your recommendations.
We have to do what we can to stand for God and Right.
. . . . regardless of the results . . .
Have always felt that I wanted a maximum amount of evidence to be available to convict me of standing and acting vigorously in behalf of God and Right.
May God be with you and all your efforts.
Big bump! Good for you and the rest of your team, what a needed and extremely sound way to support our Constitution, AS IT STANDS!
INDEED.
MUCH AGREE.
Our effort is presenting the candidates with the principles and a brief statement of each, and then asking them to take an oath where they swear beforehand to support those principles in law if elected.
As we gather candidates who sewar to do that, from whatever party, we are in a better position to vote for them...and in fact, on that board, interact with them individually.
Hey, Bro,
Your mugs still working? LOL.
I assume you’re still at Havassau???
I’ve forgotten to ask you . . . do you know RIVER BOB
of the Needles UFO incident fame? What was your take on all that?
CONGRATS ON THIS NEW EFFORT. I pray it gets lots of publicity.
BTTT
Did I read that right - Pastor Broden is running for Congress? Wow, that’s great!
Good Luck with this new organiztion!
God bless you AuntB, for your work and efforts.
Also, everyone should check out her excellent book:
Please join us as we find more citizens and candidates who are willing to swear their support for these rpinciples, and build a voting block that will take back America.
