A Tribute to Regaining Control Of The Government

We The People

Regaining Control Of The Government

"Tis our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances, with any portion of the foreign world."- George Washington (1796)

"Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto."
- Thomas Jefferson (1799)

Wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with there own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them right."
- Thomas Jefferson (1800)

"I deem one of the essential principles of our government to be peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none." - Thomas Jefferson (1801)

Ladies and Gentlemen:
If for just one reason you believe that your opinion cannot or will not make a difference to bringing reform and assist in regaining control of our government, think of the few men that went to the Boston Harbor in 1773 and threw some British tea overboard. It was a long and hard struggle over a five-year period, but perseverance prevailed then and it will once again now.

                       Regaining Control Of Our Government!

                                        United We Will Stand!

Do you feel as if you where left behind and forgotten? If you feel this way, we beg to differ with you, and respectfully request your presence and participation in the, Great Cause Of Unshackling The American Eagle, so that it may Fly Again!
A great many Americans feel that our Nation has developed into something our Founding Fathers would not recognize.
Reflection upon their writings would seem to indicate: The Constitution Of The United States Of America clearly shows that they would not be proud of our Current State of The Union. So many rights and liberties have been stripped away and/or diluted almost beyond recognition.

We are able to view this only because we're among the living.

Everyone that served in the U.S. Armed Forces took an oath to defend and protect these rights that was bestowed on every American in the Constitution. What about all of the American men and women that lost their lives defending the Constitution of this Great Country? What would their opinion be if they were among us today? What would they have to say if they were still with us? What were their lives worth? Gauging by the sad state of affairs today, evidentially not too much.

What of these men and women that fought so hard defending and died because of their beliefs in the Constitution? No they cannot be here to voice their opinion, in their own words, so the question is: What would you say for them? Who is better qualified to pose this question than the men and women that fought beside the ones that died? Can we count on you the American Veteran that vowed to defend and protect The Constitution Of The United States Of America? Do we have what it takes to pick up where they left off? In the words of President Lincoln, " That They Shall Not Have Died In Vain!"

Did the Veterans that died so gallantly, do so only that the generations following be led to slaughter like lambs going to market?

Did these proud men and women give their lives to watch succeeding generations sit idly by and let our Great Nation degenerate to a shambles and divisiveness?

Gone and forgotten, is this our legacy to them?

Do we continue their fight and ours, today? The fight for; Liberty and Justice!

Veterans there is one more hill to take in this battle: Capitol Hill!

Your Country needs you again! We the people need you!

Lets face it. Even a child knows that any real fight takes an army to win. Even if that army is a Phoenix Army risen from the ashes of discard. We will accept help from any and all that believe that this government and judicial system is running rampant and out of control. It is time that "We The People" regained control of our own government!

We need people of character. Who more of that then the Military Veteran? Just ask anybody! Character perhaps is the greatest ordnance of all.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Do we have your attention yet?
Look at the mess we are in! We have to act and do something to repair it! This mess cannot be left as it is. What will future generation say about us?
Our forefathers fought to break the chains that held them to a tyrannical government. We must do the same!
What army has the greatest numbers? What army is the most seasoned?
The answer is: The Army of Veterans! You have the most experience in the trials of the real world.
This government may have relegated you to the status of an old used chair, not worth reupholstering. But the fact is: You the American Veteran, happen to be our favorite old chair. You know, the one you feel comfortable with.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The movement needs your skills, your cohesiveness, and your sense of organization. We need VFW and Legion Commanders. We need former military officers for command and control in the short run, and vigilance beyond and into the future. You know in your heart that We The People, will trust in your lead, as they will trust no one else! You are; US!
American Veterans, you are the best of US! You know in your heart, mind and guts, that this is the right thing to do. Let us begin to organize the Phoenix Battalion.

We are not demanding your participation. We are requesting it.
Only,We The People, can determine whether or not The United States Of American can once again become the country that it once was and was meant to be.
The Constitution Of The United States of America, mandates eternal resistance to enemies both foreign and domestic:
Open your eyes! We know who the real enemy is; it is not a faceless enemy. Look at our own government!

Ideas Of Government Reform:

Whereas the existing government in Washington, D.C. has become heavy handed, instilling fear in the citizens of the United States, and increasingly creating the worst state of oppression in living memory. It has failed us (We The People), in financial security and the responsibility of health care. It has overseen the withering of education to levels with the lowest in the world. Ask your self; Why the American Flag was removed from our schools? Ask your self why the American Flag has been defaced in our courts of law with the gold fringe around its borders? The gold fringe represents Maritime law! Our legal system no longer represents the law of the land, The Constitution Of The United States Of America.

For fifty years this government has sent our young men and women into leftover wars of the European Empires. This government is now emulating those old empires in sacrificing our young men and women in war solely for financial gain and control of oil. In other words the only people that are benefiting are the people in control of governments, defense contractors, and the financial institutes of the world.

Our government has looted the pockets of every American by signing into law unfair schemes; The Federal Reserve System (foreign owned), printing counterfeit money, unfair income tax; usurious and damaging credit card interest rates, promoting by all possible means the loss of American jobs that were once the foundation of infrastructure and true basis of secured retirement. These and many other grievances worsen on a daily basis. We The People see these things for what they really are and hereby call and demand a change of command and having our Constitution restored, as it should be.

Let there be no doubt that we are Patriotic Americans, and at no time, nor in any way do We The People seek to bypass, circumvent, or supercede the original Constitution Of The United States Of America or the Bill Of Rights of the American People.

Let there be no misunderstanding: Our goal is purely to restore the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to contemporary practice and policies that were bestowed to every American by our founding forefathers that authored them. Let us see these laws restored to life by word and deed, to illustrate and rectify the glaringly and distressingly obvious difference between its guidelines, that is said to be our heritage and the quagmire We The People find ourselves in today!

Major points of advancement and are not in any order of Precedence

Articles Of Change

1.Though current law forbids it, The Federal Reserve Bank will be split wide open and fully investigated as to actual ownership and its unlawful charter.

2. Resume President Kennedys monetary program: Ordering the U.S. Treasury Department to once again print our own money, instead of borrowing and paying interest on a counterfeit currency printed by an invisible elite.

3. All firearm laws throughout the land shall be rescinded, repealed and universally struck down as being unconstitutional. The Bill Of Rights clearly prescribes: There shall be no limitations on type or quantity (of firearms), that we might ever oppose tyrannical government.

4. The existing government having taken financial institutions under its wing: Credit card interest will be restricted by decree to single digits. We The People will no longer stand for exponential disembowelment.

5. The Internal Revenue Service shall be immediately dismantled.

6. A National sales tax shall be charged on all purchases.

7. Immediate reduction of twenty percent of all law enforcement agencies. These people produce nothing. They are seldom present when needed. They are a drain on the economy, and have become entirely too much like the Nazi Gestapo of Adolf Hitler in their manner and the tactics used today.

8. Medium to hard labor will be returned to our prison system. Once again the inmates will break rocks in the hot sun, work in chain gangs and realize that the punishment for their crime is serious. Our corrections system and law enforcement is bloated with good paying jobs, retirement and is totally out of control. It works so well for the Governmental, Judiciary Bureaucracy that our prisons hold more people per capita than any other developed country.

9. The Armed Forces of The United States, otherwise un-infringed will stand down, stand aside and be supported in its mission to protect the people of America from foreign invasion.

10. A National Health Plan will be implemented for all Americans. No American will go without medical attention or treatment from qualified and competent medical personnel. The elitist barriers will be broken down. Social responsibility of all citizens will aid in defraying the balance of operational cost of the Nation Health Plan.

11. Let turnover be the arbiter in labor/management differences. Henceforth strikes shall be illegal. Let the worker think and then vote with his feet.

12. The space program will be reduced by fifty percent. There is no need to militarize the heavens above us.

13. The military budget will be reduced by one third. There is not a country that seriously threatens the United States.

14. Create a five-year program graduating and increasing tariffs on goods being imported into the U.S. Let us serve notice to all corporate entities, owners, shareholders, board members. This should serve as a reminder to all business people as to where their heritage, loyalties and futures lay. It should also prompt all Americans to buy American and strengthen our economy. A stiff resistance will be met with even a stiffer insistence that they and their families leave this country.

15. All monetary grants and subsidies to foreigners and immigrants, both educational and commercial shall be halted immediately.

16. Corporal punishment in our schools will be restored, but monitored.

17. The government will remove itself from our home in matters of parental discipline of their children. Teachers and health officials will remain ever vigilant of these matters.

18. Illegal aliens from any nation will be deported immediately and all property and money seized. First offender will be given a stiff warning. Repeat offenders will sentenced to prison at hard labor and then deported at the end of their sentence.

19. Businesses found employing illegal aliens shall be imposed with a $5,000.00 fine for a first offence. Repeat offenders shall be imprisoned and imposed with the same fine. Ignorance is not an excuse to violate this law. Fines and prison sentences will be imposed at the upper levels of ownership and management to insure that this law is strictly enforced at all levels.

20. A lay board shall be created to sit in on all federal government functions, (by constitutional amendment). This board shall be drawn from lay people across the nation. The term shall be limited to one year of duty and compensated at the congressional pay scale for this one year of service. This lay board shall be the eyes and ears of their fellow countrymen, voicing their views and those of their constituents across the country to ensure no misdoings by the government.

21. Congress will no longer vote them selves pay raises and their retirement shall be based as with all Americans through the Social Security System.

22. Terms lengths of congress and senate shall be limited to four years of public service. Pay scale for congress and senate shall be based on the rise and fall of the economic level of the United States. This compensation shall adjust according to economic factors.

23. Campaign finance shall be completely eliminated. A marvelous instrument known to all as the television, will carry equally the debates and views and intentions of all candidates, at all levels of government, in all forums. Each candidate shall be given equal air time, beginning six months prior to election dates. Each candidate will asked to field 100 - 500 questions concerning the nation or locality of which they are seeking a political office. No candidate shall receive a list of questions to be asked prior to the televised forum. All candidates must answer from the cuff to avoid canned speeches and practiced lies.

24. Reform the welfare program; Offer a helping hand, but not a way of life. Provide people with short-term assistance and job training. The homeless may always be with us. Do we step over them or assist them in regaining a respectful way of life. They must work community service such as the CCC and the WPA of the 1930s

25. Veterans programs shall be restored to the greatest extent that our government promised these people at the time of their time of enlistment. Considering all the money squandered in this country, there is no excuse for disgracefully turning our backs on promises made to this tried and true segment of society. What would we have done without them? Hire-A-Vet. If anyone deserves preference it is our U.S. Veteran.

26. Law Enforcement in excess will no longer be tolerated. Law enforcement will be brought to heel, and if necessary confronted by armed citizens so that they realize that they themselves are not above the law. Officers are hired to protect and serve the American public, not to intimidate them. Laws shall be enforced in a reasonable non-trigger happy manner. The lay boards shall henceforth oversee procedural investigations of officer-involved shootings. It shall not appear that a portrait of Heinrich Himmler hangs in the homes of all law enforcement officers,

27. A lay board shall review the actions of all law enforcement offices and judicial proceedings to ensure that all violators of the laws are treated fairly and brought to justice properly. The ERA of just-us (just for them) will come to close.

28. Any attorney claiming the title in Queen Elizabeths realm of Esquire shall be immediately disbarred. America has no such titles.

29. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear all firearm cases, and will strike down all laws enacted to violate the constitutional rights of all citizens, or infringes upon the second amendment.

30. Federal Strike Forces will be illegal: The power to deal with domestic disturbances shall fall within the power of the sheriffs office, mayors, local courts and the governors office of the respective state. Governors that permit any Federal Agency to run amok shall be censured and recalled.

31. All American Armed Forces shall be withdrawn immediately from the Middle East. The United Nations will be cordially requested to supply a peacekeeping force for both Afghanistan and Iraq. This peacekeeping force may be joined by volunteer military from the U.S., and not to exceed 10% of the total force stationed in the Middle East.

32. An acknowledgement will be made that grave errors in foreign policy have made in the name of America, which have in fact incited severe reprisals, which also should end. A government, which inflicts such diverse injury on its own people, certainly cannot be trusted nor respected around the world.

33. The United States Of America will no longer follow the example of the British Empire, its commercial interest, entangling it in one mess after another, requiring the aid of the U.S. Military to extricate them (and the U.S.) from the effects of hostile native uprisings.

34. All contracts of multi-national companies shall be open for public record and review.

35. An immediate investigation all major oil and oil service companies as to collusion on pricing, reserves, with a view to regulation, as are most utility companies.

Proposals

1. Public offices: Limited to two terms maximum. This includes the offices of Congress, Senate, and the U.S. Supreme Court Justices. It is high time that these current office holders realize: They are not considered as a monument in Washington, D.C. and they will have to reenter the workforce in the real world with the rest of us.

2. A critical review of the current political performance by all current office holders, and the retirement packages will be considered due to the age of many currently in office.

3. Only 50% of the Upper Houses of Congress, Senate and the Executive Branch may consist of attorneys, who after, do not live and function in the real world.

4. All Bills and Laws must be crafted in lay language as our Constitution and The Declaration of Independence was; that "We The People" will understand and interpret what is being placed upon them.

5. A nationwide class action lawsuit: Leveled against the Credit Card Entities, which end results, being the refund a portion of hundreds of billions of dollars looted from the American People by way of usurious illegal interest rates.

To The American People:
If it looks like Tyranny, act like tyranny, struts like Tyranny, then lets call it: Tyranny!

Tyranny!

Trusting in our leadership that, by acts and deeds is largely sold out. "We The People" have allowed all of this to happen.

We The People and only We The People can regain America for Americans. No one else is likely to do it for us. Do we continue to live in fear and under tyranny, and not complain about it? Do we have what it takes to regain control as our forefathers did?

Let us once again show the world, that this country is run by The People and a tyrannical government will not be tolerated!

American People, Lets get things together and take our country back from the hands of tyranny. Will we shine or rot on the vine?

Let us fix our country! Its badly broken, but the entire world knows that Americans are proud and can build and repair anything, RIGHT?

Let us convene, put together ideas bring our military home and take our country back.

ONE HUNDRED FIFTY MLLION IDEAS.

There are roughly one hundred fifty million Americans who've reached their maturity and beyond; old enough to think and reason. It follows that together we should be able to generate One hundred fifty million ideas on regenerating and revitalizing our ill society. All of the Highly Educated professionals and experts; we all know these people are over-rated. Witness the sad shape they've gotten us into.

CRIME PAYS

Yes, Crime Pays. Crime pays attorneys, Judges, (who are attorneys), Courthouse and other Judicial system paper shufflers, turnkeys, attorneys, jailhouse and prison food contractors, uniform contractors, attorneys, their legal staffs, corrections and law enforcement managerial and budgetary staffs, their insurance and health plan companies, attorneys, prison construction, maintenance and security contractors. Nowadays, crime even pays private prison corporations. So there is now a profit margin in locking up our people. Apparently the governmental entities are too incompetent to run them themselves, but competent enough to fill them to capacity, of course.

All of these people in the Judicial/job-security/Corrections sphere produce nothing for our country, to say nothing of all the people incarcerated; collectively they are like to many parasites on the poor old plow horse; namely the hardworking people of America; doing the actual work of making this country run every day. We are presently compelled to give all of them a Free Ride on our back. Americans, how strong IS our back? H ow much do we feel like carrying? True, they do perform an essential service, but only the ignorant peasant they think we are could believe that the load cannot be lightened. Americans! Resourceful Americans!! Lets be creative. Let us print up ahead of time, all of the pink slips we'll need to shower down on these people; the Judicial/job security/Corrections bureaucracy.

Let us attack the nature of our social ills, generate solutions culminating in all these people being forced to go out and get Real Jobs. After all, Americans, what stake do any of these people have in lessening crime? Yes, crime pays; but it pays the wrong people. Let us redirect resources in order that crime, when it occurs, pays the Right people, its victims, and society at large, which must bear its overall costs. It is the Will of the People that many lesser crimes be de-criminalized. Every arrest ranks up the whole clanking monster of the Criminal Justice System, and it is quite some monster they have created. The Reform Government with the assistance of the Lay Board will institute a sweeping overhaul of ?victimless crimes, let Payroll garnishment be the chief instrument of fine collection, and we will begin the program of putting money back into the Peoples pocket. Lets face it; incarceration for non-serious crime benefits the Judicial/job-security/ Corrections system, and only them. Let the minimum-security offender remain in the workforce, where he or she can remain productive; their offenses thereby slowly but surely repaid to society, (In cash.).Someone order another gross of pink slips. Judiciary/job-security/Corrections personnel can enroll in the nations vocational schools along with everyone else, and actually learn to work. When Reformed Government is in power, many positive things are possible.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO, IS GET IT DONE!

Young man, this court sentences you to the Military. The perpetrators of many lesser crimes can help fill out the rosters of the U.S. Armed Forces. Policed by military command structure, and their own comrades beside them, offenders can do little harm, instead receive training, discipline, and contribute to the society they offended in a positive and constructive manner. Serving without pay, some may be confined to post for the duration of their enlistment. No more lying around idly reading magazines, studying law, or lifting weights, watched by other idlers in corrections uniforms; while the entire assembly is ministered to by legions of other tax supported people polishing office seats with their asses, shuffling paper while the rest of America out in the Real World works its ass off. It simply does not make sense. America needs to make CENTS. What percentage of hardworking Americans carries the other percentage around on its back? Confiscated and lawfully seized assets to be divided equally between Education, and defraying the costs of the Justice System. All seizures, shall be monitored by, representatives of the Lay Boards. It is not that we do not trust law-enforcement any further than they can be thrown, but the record shows that these agencies require effective Citizen supervision.

THE CASE FOR LEAVING IRAQI OIL TO THE IRAQIS

Did President Cleveland ominously foretells the future when he stated, America is a nation to which Peace is not necessary. Why did President Eisenhower (who should have known) feel compelled to warn the nation? Beware of the Military/Industrial complex? What was the cost of fuel alone, for all of the shipping and air transport over the duration of the Viet Nam War? More bombs dropped there, they say, than on the entire war on Germany. And yet we still lost; as well as all the lives and limbs, but obviously, fattening how many stock portfolios? Oilman J. Paul Getty, the richest man in the world from 1957 until his death in 1976; was once asked if he'd ever made any mistakes. Oh yes, he replied: Not prospecting for oil in Iraq, for one. That was a classic boner. Iraq has more oil than most other countries. Mr. Getty drove his Cadillac from Paris to Kuwait in 1954 to sign oil contracts with the Arabs. (Its highly unlikely that anyone could make such a trip today). He pledged roads, schools, and hospitals in addition to oil royalties, and followed through. The fairness shown the Arabs was in stark contrast to prior dealings with Standard Oil, and the multi-national Oil Sisters. By his own account, Getty was told by the Sisters, that he was wrecking the industry.
J. Paul Getty never had any problems with the Arab countries; nor did he wreck the oil industry. Getty realized that; these regions of the world have no wood, no coal, no iron, next to no cropland, they don't even have water. So he drove down there to do business with the Arabs, not screw them out of the only asset they will ever have. And when the oil is gone its gone. A child could see the logic of the hatred instilled in many Iraqis due to a prior U.S. regime having slaughtered a quarter of a million hapless members of Saddams Army from 30,000 feet. Iraqis that had never harmed an American the ignorant logic of sending someone elses kid over to Make a parking lot out of the Middle East just isn't working, is it? For those who still feel this way, well, the U.S. military IS hiring, and age isn't being considered these days, and so don't let that stop you. It didn't stop Teddy Roosevelt and his volunteers when they felt they had a cause in Cuba. The author of this piece signed with the U.S. Navy at 34 (but was not inducted) when Saddam blocked exit of over 2,000 Americans from Iraq in 90 as prisoners of the State; Americans have always gone to rescue Americans. But they're taking them much older now. This movement has as one of its chief aims to bring our troops home. This is how we will support them. Sent into harms way via lies and distortions masking the initial bungled campaign in 1991, our best young people now stand in for the pent-up retribution from that misbegotten (but paying proposition) known as the Gulf War. 500,000 members of the U.S. Armed Forces deployed to regain oil concessions for the rich. Hell of a deal, Isn't It?

DO WE SAY, TO HELL WITH HUMAN RIGHTS?

That's not why were here. Today, segments of Iraqi society have all this determination to shoot people they don?t like, even themselves. One wonders where all this bravado was when they were under Saddam?s thumb.
U.S. Forces, caught in the middle of peoples who have feuded for uncounted thousands of years; and a protecting Our vital interests let us take care of our own, and GET THEM THE HELL OF THERE! Is this their mission, to hold these peoples hand and wipe their ass for them? An Iraqi coalition government can assemble today, and just as easily collapse in six months, and the whole region degenerate into a bloodbath. Only the multi-national oil companies and other contractors have a dog in this fight. They have NO RIGHT to use the U.S. Armed Forces as their private security force. When almost no nation is willing to help in Iraq or otherwise believes in this quest

DOESN'T THIS TELL YOU SOMETHING?

If Uncle Sam had many real friends left, Iraq could have been embargoed and blockaded right back out of Kuwait. The American Southern Confederacy, Imperial Germany, Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany were all driven to desperation by blockades. Saddam Hussein could not drink the oil; foodstuffs and other goods must be imported into Iraq to sustain the country. No oil trade, no nothing. Would they have us believe the worlds mightiest Navy was not capable of cutting Saddam off at the pass? Surrounding nations either play ball or face real trade and other sanctions. It might have impacted inter-locking International Banking for a while, but hey, its a tough world out there.
Anyone believing that America should stay on in Iraq, or until the mission is achieved, should of course have no qualms about signing up their own son or daughter, or both, and /or including themselves, to go and fight in those desert wastes for this cause. Age is not a factor when the manure is as deep as it is at present. Of course, there is always the altruistic view, you know, take a bullet yourself, that another younger American can come home. What is good for the goose? Go on, put your own neck where your mouth is. Or do we just bring them all home posthaste, where they belong?

USA TODAY Newspaper

Recently reported that a great many disaffected Saudis are swelling the ranks of the Iraqi insurgency for the chance to kill Americans. U.S. special interests have left behind a long trail of corrupt but U.S. supported regimes. Witness the Philippines, with its billionaire President Marcos; still a shambles today after all those years of American stewardship. And of course there was Cuba, the greatest embarrassment of all; so disenchanted with mobbed-up U.S. special interest Statecraft that communists won its civil war; it is there to this day, 90 miles away. We made quite an impression on Viet Nam also. All those bomb craters. There was the government of Shah Reza Pahlavi of Iran, so wildly popular that both he, and the U.S. were run completely out of the country. David Rockefeller went clear down to Argentina to help him, and presumably, his millions to get settled into his new home along side all those ex-Nazis.

We ourselves have a long list of grievance against our government and its malfeasance, so it follows then, which end of the stick do you suppose has been thrust at many foreign countries? On his last Central and South American tour in a diplomatic post, Nelson Rockefeller was thrown out of most countries he visited. Just past the turn of the last century, Mexico awoke one morning and, finding that foreigners owned more than 90% of its oil, came to its senses and threw all of them out of the country. Just recently, Georgia/Pacific was run out of a Mexican State, having riled the natives beyond their capacity. Americans, cut through the crap and ask yourself? What is wrong with American foreign policy, which we've been run out of so many countries? If YOU are hopelessly baffled, where's that child? Lets ask him; you know how children are, very direct.

Fifty years ago, Americans could travel the globe, and take pictures, all they wanted, and were welcome. Today, the list is long of countries where Americans can no longer go without putting life and limb in serious jeopardy. Ask yourself, why is this? IS THIS PROGRESS? What in hell has happened? What have we (or our special interests) done? Again, do we require the simple logic of a child to spell it out for us? Once the greatest threats to our health and happiness have been rectified, (who say s it can't be done? Can't never could!) We will be free as a nation to turn our attention to social ills and education. The termites in our societal underpinnings,   At a time when our latest sign of decay, the Gambling Industry, has money to burn; our schools barely scratch along, many teachers out of desperation buying classroom materials themselves. School Districts close out shop classes (where this writer learned his livelihood); grown adults play in casinos while our children aren't learning on a par with the rest of the modern world. Perhaps it is time for Federal Gambling taxes so high these blessedly ethical entities may be driven to go into tree farming, or publishing, rather then building that next casino. The 2002 High School Class of Las Vegas, Nevada; 24% failed. Whose idea, was it? That we could somehow gamble our way to higher standards in the new century?   What of Education, that central program of our future that we somehow or other never get around to adequately funding? (The elite of course see to it that their young receive the best the nation has to offer; they can read, understand, and interpret the force and effect of the legislation they generate). History shows that relatively un-educated people invariably fall into one trap, scheme or deception after another.   We need your input, Americans, in gathering data from around the world in order to make side-by-side comparisons as to the levels of education provided the youth of other countries and their respectively capabilities upon their graduation. Let America offer world-class schools instead of the joke that they are today. Ask an eighteen year old his knowledge of our Constitution, of which after all, his entire future and that of the country depends.

A contributor has rendered this:
Judges are paid to interpret the law; not hand down their own. Judges allowed to keep their seats will be given to understand that our National Symbols and heritage are not to be discounted or diluted with every passing fad. Our Flag and our Pledge to it WILL BE RETURNED TO OUR SCHOOLS; that the young be taught Patriotism and Reverence for those that passed before them. The idea behind such teaching is to instill in young minds that the world does not revolve around individuals, or the dollar.

Money is not the God of the People!

A sole self-interested individual does not stand much chance against the great bad world out there. As President Lincoln put it, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." There is no question that we do owe allegiance and reverence to our National Symbol, the American Flag. It shall be inscribed, alongside all the other flummery engraved on our Houses of Congress. It shall be sandblasted and inscribed for all to see, the old Roman saying directed at the legislators of that day; and just as valid in ours. Who Benefits? Americans, We rail against our contemporary self-interested governments, which we will change. But we must likewise admit to having been asleep at the switch; allowing the Gravy trains of War, corrupt high finance and over-zealous Police State tactics to roll over us, roll over us again, and yet again. Veteran abandonment; disenfranchisement; so many of our old soldiers and sailors dying in halfway houses awaiting VA care promised them. Americans, in all this, do we take pride? We have allowed all these things to happen. Maybe we're waiting for the people of Guatemala, or Albania to come to our rescue, and solve our problems for us. Maybe someone should collectively award us the Grand Order of Gutlessness. But enough is enough. Americans, this then is the mission. We have the numbers to make the change. We're agreed to seeing the writing on the wall. Americans, DO WE HAVE THE GUTS?

VOTING REFORM

Relatively unaccustomed to being the laughingstock of the world; we finally got there in the form of our recent elections. But alas, what can we expect from our corrupt, entrenched bureaucracy? As the old saying goes, consider the source. When the Grandfather of the worlds election process can no longer cut the mustard, or as Native Americans say, muss the Custer, things need looking into. Where's our child? Lets get his view. He might politely ask us if voting cards are punched, and then stored as formerly prescribed by law; and, he might add; if adults can count, what?s the problem? Henceforth the Lay Boards will supervise elections; accustomed to performing real jobs efficiently in the real workforce, we can place our trust in them.   Henceforth, our elections will be adequately staffed; so that We the People; the working majority that actually produce and make the country run; with our tight schedules, will no longer stand in line for hours on the most important day of the year. Yes, we see through that one too.

It's time to place our trust in others, when the experts just can't seem to get it right.

Who are we to challenge the brass-plated credentials?

WE THE PEOPLE, THATS WHO!

The American People! Before you file that next lawsuit, consider that our fellow Americans are among the few real friends and allies we have in the world. And it is a very big world. We are vastly outnumbered. Let us hearken back to the days when we all worked together. Why, if there really were a serious threat today, such as the Second World War, we'd lose; Americans would have the whole thing tied up in court. To give the Evil Entities their due, their Master Plan seems to be working; divide and conquer.

When the neighbor you're trying to sue is suddenly faced with pulling your child from a pool, or possibly your own sue happy ass from a burning automobile, well? We're all supposed to be on the same side here, aren't we? To give the Cancer its due, no lawyer ever filed a case by himself. There''s the matter of that John Hancock you must affix to get things rolling. When you're too busy believing your neighbor is your enemy, your concentration and focus is distracted from our real enemy from within. Those among us that look like us, dress like us, and appear to act as we do; but in reality whose real interests are far from the best interests of the nation we call home.

LET US COMBINE FORCES, AND FOR ONCE IN OUR LIVES PULL TOGETHER TO SAVE AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Did our Founding Fathers form the country for the People, or the SHEEPLE? Don't cower; or be too busy to help resurrect our land. The hard work will likely be performed by the mature set; the Over the Hill gang; this will be our sunset show. So, that the very young, will live in a better world. We have grave doubts in the sincerity of the patriotism of the generation in-between. War for Profit has worked well three times in a row now. The government is even now casting about as to where to start the next war. Will your child or grandchild be embroiled? Americans, this is up to you. We the People can act now in our own best interests, or do nothing and continue to suffer the consequences. We know ourselves better than anybody. We have New Yorkers, that can't speak the language. Californians with the brains bred clean out of them; Arizona and Oklahoma so backward they don't know what century it is. They're asleep (and Jesse-less) in Minnesota; and the South is going to rise again. You know, barroom bullshit from coast to coast. But if we cannot cut the crap and get off our ass and act, we're little better than the government we object to.

DO WE STILL HAVE IN US AS OUR ANCESTORS DID?

It's time to put the Sports page in the bottom of the birdcage where it belongs, and start reading the front page. America, inform yourself. Government has steered our Ship of State into the iceberg.

The U.S.S. America is sinking!

WILL WE THE PEOPLE STAND BY, AND WATCH IT SINK. OR WILL WE PULL OUR FINGER OUT OF OUR ASSES AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?

When our nation is freed from the DEAD HAND of irresponsibility, many changes will be enacted. Your idea of change cannot be considered if you do not voice it, and make yourself heard.

Among the many issues now undergoing reform are the following:

Welcome the era of party-less politics, candidates not parties. There will no longer be just the North and South (Democrats, Republicans); most issues are more complicated than that. Polarization! Has failed U.S. Terribly!

It is paramount that the world understands that the current self-interested regime does not speak for all Americans while turning its deaf ears and blind eyes to the pleas from the rest of humanity. We will join the Kyoto Accord.
So Americans, where is congress while the tyrant stomps about? Are they out to lunch, or have they too sold us out?
Like a flock of hungry buzzards circling a fresh kill, we are currently picking apart NAFTA, and the FTAA.

Reform government will proclaim a field day in sponsorship of research and development of alternative energy technology. "They" will no longer be there to derail or torpedo that latent American trait known as "Innovation".
Big name (but behind in times), manufacturing companies can either step up to the plate or get out of business. While the self-interested monoliths go on saying "it can't be done", hundreds of thousands of Americans disagree and are chomping at the bit to try.
Together "We The People" will usher in the new era with that Great American Star, "Competition".

Americans across our GREAT COUNTRY; Beging to choose your delegates. People among you; for which you admire for their leadership. Pass the word to your countrymen. The only thing they need to fear is fear itself.
Phoenix Battalion - The order of the day is to commence strategic planning, so that the mission of regaining control of our government proceeds in an orderly fashion and effective manner.
