This Friday, Feb. 22nd:
SCOTUS To Reconsider Landmark WTP v. US
Next Sunday: Schulz to Speak in MA
On Friday, February 22 the Supreme Court of
the United States will decide Bob Schulz’s
Petition for Rehearing
of its January 7th decision not to hear
We the People v. United States, the case demanding a
declaration by the Court of the original intent of the last
ten words of the First Amendment, to wit: “Congress shall
make no law…abridging the Freedom…or the Right of the
People…and to Petition the Government for a Redress of
Grievances.”
“The intent of the Framer’s of the
Constitution – our Founding Fathers – in capping the First
Amendment with those ten words is clear to all who take the
time to review the historical record,” said Bob Schulz. “The
demonstrable as well as common sense intent was that the
clause would provide individuals with a constitutional
guarantee of the natural Right (power) of a free People to
peacefully hold the Government accountable to each and every
provision of the seven Articles and Amendments to the
Constitution, without harassment or retaliation by the
Government. That is, the exercise of Petitioning for
Redress would serve as the non-violent protector of
all other Rights, Freedoms and Liberties, forestalling any
necessity for individuals to resort to violence in defense
of the Constitution.”
Government, the ominous, omniscient enemy of
Freedom, does not favor accountability. Our Government is no
exception to the rule. This is the only rational explanation
for the failure of the Executive and Legislative departments
to respond to our Petitions for Redress, and the failure of
the Supreme Court to hear our case, i.e., to avoid having to
publicly issue an honest declaration of the Rights of the
People and the obligations of the Government under the
Petition Clause – the “government accountability clause.”
The matter is of the utmost importance. Our
Constitution is all that stands between a free People and
total tyranny.
However, regardless of the prodigious
promise of its divine design, the parchment merely sits on
the shelf, unable to defend itself, unable on its own to
evince and maintain the magnificence of popular sovereignty
and a servant government with strictly limited powers.
As it is in the natural order for every
government to resist the chains upon its limited powers, it
is also a necessity of nature that men remain forever
vigilant in holding their governments accountable. This is a
solemn responsibility that no People can elude and yet hope
to remain free.
Should the Supreme Court continue to
sidestep its constitutional duty to interpret the meaning of
the last ten words of the First Amendment by denying the
instant Petition for Rehearing, Bob Schulz and the We The
People Congress will immediately turn their attention and
resources to the organization and implementation of
large-scale, wide-spread acts of “civil disobedience.”
A Government that fails to listen or respond
to the People is not fit to rule a Free People.
Although our Natural Rights may be abridged
or “forgotten” over time, they remain fundamental forces of
Nature that will not be denied. Where governments cannot be
held accountable, Freedom cannot exist. As our Founders
knew well, the Right to Petition enables the peaceful
dominion of Men over the servant governments they create to
secure their Rights, Freedoms and Liberties.
Next Sunday, February 24, from noon to 3 PM, Bob Schulz will
be at the Colonial Inn in Concord, Massachusetts to discuss
the matter at hand. Everyone is encouraged to attend this
most serious meeting. There is no charge to attend. WTP will
not be providing any food or beverage. The meeting will be
all “business.”
