[These remarks were delivered at the Lincoln Reagan Dinner held this past Saturday night, June 5th, 2010 in Virginia City, Montana.]
The Declaration of Independence states:
“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 affect their Safety and Happiness.”
We cannot permit the current leaders in the White House and Halls of Congress to continue in their efforts to lead us down the road of Progressive Socialism and destruction of America. This is the current battle that we Constitutionalists face and we must be aggressive in our efforts. Incompetence, Deceit, Fraud, Corruption, Dishonesty and Violation of the US Constitution of officials now come into play as relates to our National Character, National Security, Economy and the Nation’s well-being and is the rationale for resignations. Demand Resignation of derelict officials by the people of this country in now required.
Where is our Moral Compass?
The oath of office is simple and reads:
“I do solemnly swear 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 faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”
Sadly, we have seen them violate their oath. Fraud, lying, and corruption are rampant and some have engaged in treasonous activities, and they effectively thumb their noses at us and have sold you to the highest bidder.
The Articles of Confederation were replaced with the Constitution, which granted the federal government enough authority to cultivate, promote and secure the Blessings of Liberty. The balance of authority and individual liberty was understood. Power was confined to that which was enumerated in the Constitution with a certain and meaningful intent for check and balances.
Lincoln issued this warning in his inaugural address:
“Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one. This is a most valuable and sacred right – a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world.”
Being a representative republic, not a democracy, “rising up” means other than revolution by means of arms. The people must “rise up” from the grass roots across this great country as we think of the greater good of this and future generations. We are limited in the peaceful transfer of power … resignation, death, elections, and impeachment.
“We the People” have had enough. Enough is Enough. The Obama White House and identifiable Members of Congress are now on a progressive socialist, treasonous death march and are bankrupting and weakening the country. We have watched them violate their sacred oath of office. “We, the People” cannot wait for and solely rely on the next round of elections in November of this year. It is now and each day that these public servants must put the citizen’s interests above self-interest by resigning immediately. Our so-called Representatives and Senators are more interested in party loyalty than performing their duties. So, do not expect them to resign en masse or be impeached. Therefore the “people” must decide. A civil uprising is still not out of the question. They know which side of the bread their butter is on and it is not on our side.
We now must call for the immediate resignation of Barry Soetoro (AKA President Barack Hussein Obama) — based on Incompetence, Deceit, Fraud, Corruption, Dishonesty and Violation of the US Constitution.
And a call for a National Petition for new elections to select the next President of the United States of America must be initiated. We can wait no longer for a change of Power and new Government.
This is going to leave a bruise.
Outstanding. I couldn’t agree more. Hopefully in November the process will begin.
Why wait for November, the destruction of the country can come in a flash.
When the national petition is created, my name will be on it. I will keep watch online to see this happen-—that is, if the internet isn’t taken over by the government before that.
“And a call for a National Petition for new elections to select the next President of the United States of America must be initiated. We can wait no longer for a change of Power and new Government.”
I do not seem to recall a Petition Clause in the Constitution.
That’s right. ALL things not mentioned in the Constitution are for the People and the States. Let’s get busy.
The People need to appoint a POTUS performance Czar to fire under-performing Presidents
Count me in, and following the ousting of BArking Obama and the rest of the Black Klan let us proceed with charges of treason.
Nothing says the states and the people cannot demand or petition for a resignation.
It is. And since these people don't believe in the Constitution and it is not in force, it is time to restore it. However that must be done. Or are you saying we have no recourse because it wouldn't be "legal"?
What do you propose we do before November?
“Are you saying we have no recourse because it wouldn’t be “legal”?
Seems to me the First Revolution Wasn’t “Legal” as far as King George was concerned.
Just so!
Just a few million friends to force the crooks out.
If the TeaParty would have marched on DC and not on Saturday and let these ahem elected "masters" whom are the in a large part the cause of these problems realize that we are fed up and not going to let them destroy this once and future great country fail because of them.
The crooks in the SEIU and other criminal orgs are not as many as the patriots in this country.
Just a thought
deal with the national issue at the local level. Encourage people in your local areas to ban SEIU, Moveon and other organizations that strive to demean the US Constitution. Eliminate the local organizations that are fostering the corruption. than go to the state level and rid the states of the corruptocrats. The federal government will fold to the States. The federal government exists only by the will of the people. the elcted officials in DC have lost touch with their constituents back at the local level. Maybe it is time that Washington DC is deemed no longer the seat of the federal governmnnt, move DC to the center of the uS. Any politician that desires to serve at the federal level is a part-time official whom is elected. the politician is paid only 13,000.00 a year. federal employees make only 13,000.00 a year. take back the government of the people for the people by the people. why is it that a politician has to be very rich to run. the same politician becomes richer while in office. Ban all lobbyist organizations. Tough shit that lobbyists will be unemployed. Someone needs to be unemployed, why not lobbyists who are no better than parasites.
“petition for redress of grievances...”
1st amendment
Nothing I know of that can prevent a potus from resigning, and nothing I know of that says the redress a petition desires is the resignation of a potus.
It's right next to Article II that neither political party can seem to find either.
