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 dont have the will to fight and its 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 were 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.

And were 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!!

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 4 new monthly so far this quarter.
Or send in a hundred dollars or more per quarter and join I_be_tcs 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 18 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.

"Since her beginning America has held fast to this hope of divine providence, this vision of 'man with God.'
It is true that world peace is jeopardized by those who view mannot as a noble beingbut as an accident of nature, without soul, and important only to the extent he can serve an all powerful state.
But it is our spiritual commitmentmore than all the military might in the worldthat will win our struggle for peace.
It is not 'bombs and rockets' but belief and resolveit is humility before God that is ultimately the source of Americas strength as a nation.
Our people always have held fast to this belief, this vision, since our first days as a nation."Ronald Reagan

"...I want to leave with you a speech by a man not so well remembered in history, but those words, spoken on the eve of our struggle for independence, should uplift and inspire now as surely as they did in 1775.
Joseph Warren, a Boston doctor, left us these words before giving his life at Bunker Hill:
'Our country is in danger, but not to be despaired of on you depend the fortunes of Americayou are to decide the important question, on which rests the happiness and liberty of millions yet unborn.
Act worthy of yourselves.' ''Ronald Reagan
