The Honorable James Rockwell
United States Senate

1234 Bradford Senate Office Building
Washington, DC  12345

Dear Senator Rockwell, 

This letter constitutes formal service of seven First Amendment Petitions For Redress of Grievances.  The Petitions have been signed by myself and thousands of other American citizens. 

I am a constituent and respectfully demand, with all due force and urgency that you properly respond, as required by the Constitution, to these Petitions for Redress as requested below.

The attached CD-ROM disc contains eight Petitions for Redress of Grievances regarding matters of grave importance to our nation.  The Petitions document numerous and extensive constitutional torts committed by the federal government.  These abuses of limited and delegated power gravely threaten both the Liberty of the People and the future of the Republic. 

In considering your response, please know that the People will not be long denied their Rights. To begin, the People possess the Right to peacefully enforce the Right to Petition by withdrawing their support of and obedience to the federal Government should the Government fail to responsively respond. 
 
As my elected representative, I strongly urge you to learn more about the history, nature and extent of the Right to Petition and the far-reaching implications it holds for our nation. Toward that end I am also enclosing an informational disc that contains eleven Law Review articles that address the Right to Petition and copies of legal briefs from the landmark federal lawsuit where a U.S. Court of Appeals will soon declare its interpretation of the Rights of the People and the Obligations of the Government within the meaning of the last ten words of the First Amendment. This will be the first time in history that a court has declared the meaning of this, the “capstone Right.” The Founders knew the meaning of the Right:  

“If money is wanted by Rulers who have in any manner oppressed the People,
they may retain it until their grievances are redressed, and thus peaceably procure relief, without trusting to despised petitions or disturbing the public tranquility.”

                                                   Journals of the Continental Congress, 1:105-113 (1774)

I respectfully request that you timely respond to the enclosed First Amendment Petitions For Redress of Grievances c/o We The People Foundation For Constitutional Education, 2458 Ridge Road, Queensbury, NY 12804 OR send your representative to appear at the Petitioner’s silent vigil across from the White House (Lafayette Park) beginning at 3 PM, Friday, March 30, 2007. 

Sincerely,
