Introduction
This book is being written as a constitutional primer. It briefly outlines how we became a Constitutional Republic, the elements of our Constitution, and the factors that are conspiring to destroy what the Founding Fathers bequeathed to us.
It is an effort to enlighten the sleeping giant, We the People. It is the year of our Lord 2011 and of the United States of America 235, if we are to save our Constitutional Republic for ourselves and our posterity, we must awaken and become Freedom-Fighters. For, if We the People continue to acquiesce, we will lose ALL for which our Founding Fathers gave their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor!
As I have pondered the challenge and choice that are urgently before each of us as we enter the 2012 election cycle as citizens, concerning our government; national, state and local, I have concluded that We the People are in grave danger of losing our Constitutional Republic. It would be well for each of us to also understand that time is running out and that: “The line has been drawn in the sand!” Each of us, as a citizen, and as a free man or woman, is once again called upon to respond to the clarion call of Joshua of old, who said:
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve . . . but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. (Joshua 24:15, emphasis added)
And let every citizen realize and understand that THEY MUST CHOOSE! In this fight there can be NO NEUTRALITY! Either you stand with our Founding Fathers and the patriots of 1776 on the side of our divinely inspired Constitutional Republic, OR you are against it and in league with those who would destroy our Heritage, the Ideal known as America, and our way of life for ourselves and our posterity.
I wonder how many of you feel that because of the conservative election win in November 2010 that the fight is won? If you would fall into this trap, I would remind you of the following statement by John Philpot Curran in 1790: “It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt.” From this source we get the oft-quoted maxim: “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.”
The question to be pondered is why did they, the Progressives, begin to lose power? I believe that God has heard the prayers of a nation in revival. A nation seeking to hold fast to our unalienable rights granted to us by our Creator and the personal liberties guaranteed to us by our Founding Fathers in our divinely inspired Constitution and Bill of Rights. I truly believe it is by the prayers of the righteous that we are spared at this time.
I believe that we as a nation, over the past 50 years, have been like the children of Israel wandering in the “Wilderness of Sin.” I also believe that the scriptures are true and if we are to be redeemed as a nation and people we must return to the principles taught in them and raise up a new generation, a generation that will serve the Lord.
We must believe the Scriptures that state:
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord. (Psalms 33:12)
Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. (Proverbs 14:34)
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. (Proverbs 29:2)
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)
We the People have been granted a reprieve by our Father in Heaven. I believe this is because many have begun to seek Him again since the ways espoused by the liberal “left” have failed, ways that have destroyed the family and the traditional values of our forefathers, ways that attacked the very foundation of our great nation.
During the Revolutionary War, only about one-third of the colonists were concerned about their liberties. The others were apathetic or looking to climb on the bandwagon of the winning side. We need to be numbered with those who are anxiously engaged in increasing the conservative “right” in both the House and the Senate. We need to ensure that a conservative is elected President. Much, of what needs to be done, will be painful to We the People, individually and as a nation. Everyone must realize that it ALL cannot be accomplished in the next two years. It took 50 years of indolence to get us where we are and it will take more than two years to remove the chains of slavery that have encircled us.
The struggle is not over. It is just beginning. Each of us chose to be on the Lord’s side during the first struggle for freedom when a third of the hosts of heaven were expelled. Each of us must now choose again to be a Freedom-Fighter or a fighter-of-freedom in the struggle to maintain our God given endowment to life, liberty and property. Unlike our Revolutionary War ancestors, we cannot sit by and be found guiltless. In restoring our nation to the great principles of our Founding Fathers, it is important that we remember the counsel of Thomas Jefferson, “In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
Great leaders of the past, in nations who have lost their glory, sounded the certain trumpet. Their pleas went unheeded and their nations declined and passed into history. We, as a nation, need to learn from their experience. There was Demosthenes in 341 BC who said, “There must be some cause, some good reason, why the Greeks were so eager for liberty then, and now are eager for servitude.” And what of Cato who said of the Roman Empire in 63 BC, “Our liberties, our lives, are in danger.” Lastly, concerning our own great nation, Ezra Taft Benson, President Eisenhower’s Secretary of Agriculture, had this to say in the 1960′s, “To the patriots I say this: Take that long eternal look. Stand up for freedom no matter what the cost. It can help save your soul – and maybe your country.”
To maintain the American way of life and pass it intact to succeeding generations is the responsibility of every true American. Will we accept the responsibility to pass to our posterity the heritage of our Founding Fathers or will we sit by and leave them a Welfare Socialist State?
I plead with you to stay in the fight. Do whatever you can to ensure that good men and women, who are statesmen and concerned for our country, are elected to restore our nation to the principles upon which it was founded. I implore you to vote and more importantly to pray daily for our nation and our leaders that the cause of freedom might be preserved.
Our elected leaders take an oath to protect and defend our Constitutional Republic against all enemies foreign and domestic:
I 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; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
It is time for them, the 112th Congress and the President, to be Statesmen, not politically correct politicians, and protect us, We the People, from ALL our enemies — within and without.
We the People, as a nation, are engaged in a major battle for the hearts and minds of the American People. A battle that will determine if We the People, as a nation, will remember our Judeo-Christian Heritage and choose freedom as guaranteed by our Declaration of Independence and our divinely inspired Constitution. A battle that will determine, as President Abraham Lincoln said, “That this nation under God shall have a new birth of Freedom — that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Or, a battle where We the People, as a nation, acquiesce and choose the “chains of slavery” in the form of a tyrannical federal government.
There are evil and conspiring men and women within the halls of Congress, their unelected power-brokers operating behind the scenes, and the perpetual bureaucrats (unelected career government employees) who are bent on usurping power from We the People contrary to the Tenth Amendment. They are minions of Lucifer and seek to enslave us and to garner control of our lives and will use any crisis or any means to accomplish their purposes. They want us, We the People, to be dependent upon them for every facet of our lives. They seek to destroy the God given agency of man and our unalienable Rights to Life, Liberty and Property. So will you be a Freedom-Fighter and defend our divinely inspired Constitutional Republic or a fighter-of-freedom and acquiesce in favor of their Welfare Socialist State and/or one world government?
Truly our federal government is broken because it has forsaken the Judeo-Christian principles that our Founding Fathers used to give us our Declaration of Independence, our 1787 U. S. Constitution, and our Bill of Rights, principles which for 135 years made us into the greatest nation in the world a beacon of hope and freedom to ALL men. A Christian nation that honored God and His Son, Jesus Christ and that used the Holy Bible as a textbook in its schools, public and private, but which tolerated the free expression of every citizen’s religion, Christian or not. Our Founding Fathers and the patriots of 1776 gave their all that FREEDOM might prevail over an oppressive English government and that our Constitutional Republic might be established. They pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to the cause. Are you willing to do as much to preserve our Constitutional Republic for ourselves and our posterity from a tyrannical federal government? Are we willing to do as much so that the “light of freedom” might not be extinguished throughout the world?
Each of us needs to remember, “The only thing needed for evil to triumph is for good men [women] to do nothing.” Clearly the time is now for each citizen to choose whether he or she will be a Freedom-Fighter or a fighter-of-freedom. This book is an effort to help you understand our Constitutional Republic and its founding documents. Lastly, it is an effort to help the reader understand the threats that are before us — within and without!
May God Bless and Save the United States of America!
Our Constitutional Republic !
