Free Republic establishes alliance with the "Restore the Constitution" effort

FreeRepublic Alliance Links ^ | October 17, 2009 | Jeff Head

[Jeff Head]

We are pleased to announce that FreeRepublic and Jim Robinson have established an Alliance Link to the Restore the Constitution effort, The Independent Movement for Constitutional Restoration (IAM-CR).

The premise for IAM-CR is simple:

We intend to amass a voting block of millions of Americans who are sworn to focus on Constitutional Principle first and foremost in their voting and who will vote for and elect the thousands of candidatires we find and enlist who are sworn to support fundamental Constitutional Principle.

We invite all members of FreeRepublic to review our twelve constitutional principles and then JOIN US and invite your family, friends, and neighbors to do likewise as we build this voting block all over the nation and attract candidates to us, or develop them from our own ranks at all levels of government.

Please review the list of candidates we have already attracted, who have sworn or affirmed that they will support those same principles and do all in their power to support and inact them in law if elected.

IAM-CR is not a political party or a PAC. It seeks no donations, fees, dues, or other funds. It only seeks the commitment to constitutional principle of its members and candidates from whatever persuasion.

All of the public demonstrations are good, and critical in showing the opposition the strength, determination, and numbers of those Americans who are awakening to the destruction of our Republic by abject socialists and marxists in our own government. IAM-CR does, and will will link to and promote those FreeRepublic, 912Project, TeaParty and other events directed to this end.

But until we actually elect candidates at all levels of government committed to the constitution and who swear to abide its fundamental principles...nothing will change.

That restoration of our Constitutional Republic, based on fundamental constitutional principle is what this effort is about...that is what FreeRepublic is all about...the largest and most effective site for conservative activism and news on the intenet. Jim Robinson's foresight and dedicated efforts over many years must be recognized for making that so, and we sincerely thank him and all those involved with FreeRepublic for that work, and for forming this alliance with our efforts in support of those same goals.

In this regard, our alliance could not be more natural.

In fact, IAM-CR was created by several long-time and well known freepers and a couple of other well-known patriots. Jeff Head (freeper Jeff Head), Neil E Wright (freeper Neil E. Wright), David C, Wright (freeper dcwusmc), Ward Dorrity (freeper noumenon), Matthew Bracken (freeper Travis McGee), Pastor Stephen Broden (seen often on Fox News, Glenn Beck, and Hannity, and who is himself one of our candidates for the US Congress), and David Hedrick (the disabled US marine who stood up to his congressman at the town hall in Washington state and who is also one of our candidates for US Congress) are all on the Advisory Board of this effort.

Please JOIN US and help us use the political process and our voting rights to rise up and take our country back and restore our constitutional republic.

BTW - What’s up with that oath?

[Jeff Head]

Bob, I believe there are more conservative voters, and in a majority, than other representative groups in America. I believe they exist in all parties...clearly more in certain partites than in others. They get their votes split all the time by several things...party, programs, charisma, media influence, etc., etc.

This effort is directed precisely at unifying that vote by getting people focused on the constitution and its principles first and foremost. I believe we can win elections all across this country with such an effort, and I believe we can attract more and more people to it as well.

As to the oath, it's simple. We are asking people to be absolutely serious. To swear or affirm their support for those principles. The times call for it, IMHO, for people being serious about these issues. In reality, we should always have been. IMHO it's part of the eternal vigilance thing.

[Bob J]

The vote you wish to organize is already secure. You are a good man, honest, moral and a patriot. Turn those qualities on the great unwashed, maybe they’ll want to be more like you.

[Jeff Head]

I do not believe it is secure. We lost last mid term, we lost the last major elections.

Conservatives have to believe...they have to know, that the principles they hold dear are also held dear by the people they are electing. They do not believe this of many of the candidates so they get apathetic, they get fractured, etc.

I believe we can focus on the conservative vote and unify it behind solid constitutional principles.

I also believe that as we do that for the long haul, we will influence a lot of those others you speak of and bring them to our cause.

Thank you for the ping. Will read and get back to you. :)

The people have the power.

Some/many do not realize or use it.

Some give up easily, some really believe they can do nothing to change government, and others believe it is all manipulated by powers behind the scene and votes can be made to lie.

Passiveness or apathy, or procrastination is an evil enemy. It has no power of its own ... only as a person plays into it. MO

We have been led to believe for so long ... not to bring up politics with neighbors, customers, business associates, in schools, churches, family, especially in laws: that we have accepted the premise whole heartily as a rule.

We do have power, influence and a voice and a vote.

USE IT!

Thank you, Jeff.

I want one!
