Can't Something be Done?

Many Americans today are becoming well aware that things are not as they should be. The on-going accumulation of power by the federal government; the federal debt's steady climb year after year (currently over $7.6 trillion ); bloated, tax-funded, unaccountable bureaucracies yield questionable "results" contrary to the promises of so many career-lawyers-turned-career-politicians...

(The list is practically endless.)

Sadly, the most common reaction to these trends seems to have been the head-in-the-sand approach: "enjoy life as well as possible, and try not to think about the stuff that's beyond your control." A few of us might complain, but the general consensus seems to be that there's little we can -- or should -- do about it.

I've pointed out elsewhere that it's no use blaming the "liberals" or the "conservatives" -- these are just labels we're given to stick on our "enemies" -- while our real enemies are those members of the bipartisan, monopolistic monster in Washington D.C., who daily violate the very Constitution they're sworn to uphold, defend and protect.

What matters most now is what you can do to: 1) reverse the habit of all parties of the federal government of unlawfully (unconstitutionally) amassing and centralizing power over The People; and to 2) ensure that you, your children, and grandchildren might live in liberty, as sovereign citizens of the American Republic (the United States, as established by the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution).

Are we -- The People -- really powerless? Do we -- and subsequent generations -- really have no choice but to acquiesce to our "masters" who profess to be our "government"? Not yet!!

WE'RE STILL THE LAWFUL MASTERS

The United States government was created by "we, The People." That's a fact as real today as it was when the Consitution was ratified in 1789. The usurpation of The People's ultimate authority over the government they created provides all the more basis for our taking action to correct the matter.

Our government's power depends entirely on "the Consent of the Governed" [that's us!], and "when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government."

Furthermore, the same Law by which The People created the federal government also prohibits Congress from hindering our "right...to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" -- meaning we cannot be prevented from officially advising the federal government that we're displeased with its conduct, and that we want matters corrected.

WE THE PEOPLE

In fact, at least one group of people has initiated the process of doing exactly that, and their complaint, originally initiated by a Bob Schulz, has become a class-action lawsuit that any State citizen can join without cost.

That organization is "We The People." Everything you need to know about the lawsuit and its history can be read at and/or downloaded from their website:

All the necessary instructions are provided, including a Q&A letter from the attorney handling the case, Mark Lane.

I highly recommend investing the time and effort required to read over the details of the suit, and then submitting your notarized affidavit to join in the effort. As the plaintiff list grows by the thousands, the message to the federal government is bound to become more clear and (therefore) more difficult to ignore.

THE 861 EVIDENCE

Another effort well worth participating in is that spearheaded by Larken Rose, exposing the details of the law concerning what is really "taxable income." (Hint: your wage/salary income very likely isn't included.)

Mr. Rose and company have produced an hour-long digital presentation laying out all the facts. With a high-speed internet connection, you can see the presentation for free at the official website:

http://www.861.info

You can also order bulk quantity copies of the presentation on mini-CDs right there at the website, for your own viewing, or to share with others.

But you can take some real action by raising your government representatives' awareness of the truth by sending a handful of one-page letters to your Senate and House representatives, as well as Mark Everson, the current IRS Commissioner, asking four simple questions.

I personally urge you, reader, to click on the "6 Questions" link at the website cited above, and copy, paste, print, sign and mail the letters and questions to your representatives and Mr. Everson. Again, the more people they hear from, the more clear will be the message that federal despotism is being recognized and openly questioned by The People.

"We The People" and "The 861 Evidence" are just two of many efforts going on today to inform The People and spur them to exercise their Right "to petition the Government for a redress of grievances" and put the feds on notice.

Please don't let "government power" intimidate you from joining these two worthy causes. And please don't count on others to fight the fight of liberty on your behalf.

American independence was first won because a fraction of The People were willing to stand against British tyranny. The need for true, selfless patriots to raise their voices today is no less great.
