IF NOT “OPERATION PEOPLE POWER,”
WHAT?
A Plan to Restore and Maintain the
Constitution
Citizens United in Purpose and
Procedure
The “Great American Experiment II”
Bold, Doable and Essential
Editor’s note:
Please don’t miss the special plea from Bob Schulz
at the end of this article.
The Constitution is not a menu and cannot defend itself. As a set of
rules and principles to govern the government it is
all that stands between the People and total tyranny
and despotism.
Those familiar with the fourteen year history and work of the We The
People organization know we are firmly committed to
keeping elected officials within the boundaries the
People have drawn around their power by the terms
and conditions of our Founding Documents.
Knowing there has never been any instant gratification in the evolution
of
Liberty,
we at WTP are process oriented.
We plan the work and work the plan; “If we do not know where we are
going, any road will get us there.”
Each action we take is considered to be the “appropriate next step” given
the elected official(s) response to the prior step.
Those familiar with work of WTP know we rely heavily on the Rights of the
People and the obligations of our elected officials
under the last ten words of the First Amendment –
the accountability clause, that includes a guarantee
of our Right to Petition the Government for Redress
of Grievances, obligates our elected officials to a
responsive response and guarantees our Right of
Enforcement should our elected officials ignore the
Petitions for Redress.
So, where are we in the process?
We have Petitioned all three braches of the federal government regarding
violations of numerous restrictions, prohibitions,
mandates of the Constitution by our elected
officials. Each Petition for Redress included a
citation of a specific provision of the
Constitution, a factual account of the violation and
the Remedy sought. The result has been the same with
each Petition: an arrogant refusal to respond.

Redress.
The appropriate next step was Continental Congress 2009: 116 delegates
from all 50 states except ND and OK discussed
fourteen violations and recommended a course of
action for the Free to put an end to them. Their
work product is titled, Articles of Freedom, the
Works of Continental Congress 2009. Each of the
fourteen Articles in the Articles of Freedom
includes Remedial Instructions to the federal and
state government.

Freedom.
On April 19th, in nearly every state capital, at the same
moment in time, freedom-loving citizens like you and
me, joined with CC2009 Delegates and WTP State
Coordinators and supporters, to Honor God, America
and the Constitution in a special ceremony and then
to Serve the Articles on federal and state
officials.
Unfortunately, based on the factual record of the long-standing refusal
of our elected officials to respond to the People’s
repeated First Amendment Petitions for Redress
regarding violations of the Constitution, we should
not expect the Remedial Instructions to bring about
the end goal of restoring and maintaining
constitutional governance without “People Power” –
that is, without the force and effect of the
determination of a mass movement of Americans
standing together to hold the Government accountable
to the Constitution and the reform they are entitled
to.
We have reached the point in our fading Republic where individuals and
small groups can no longer prevail in defense of
their individual, Creator- endowed, unalienable
Rights against the power, organization and money of
the “government.”
Concerned Americans now need to come together. We need to reach Critical
Mass! This is now the appropriate next step.
Operation People Power, with its community-based Articles of Freedom
Meetup groups, is a practical pathway to Critical
Mass. No other practical plan to limit the actions
of our elected officials to the letter and spirit of
our Constitution has been made available. No other
practical plan relying on the Constitution’s written
guarantees of our Creator-endowed Rights rather than
the promises and assurances of men has been put
forward by anyone, whether conservative, libertarian
or those of any other political persuasion.
We are in a rush to the bottom, rushing headlong into debt, dependency
and decay. We need a plan, NOW, and we need to work
the Plan. We at WTP have no pride of authorship. If
not Operation People Power with its community-based
Articles of Freedom Meetups and balance between
civic education and civic action, then what?

Steps.
Please don’t hesitate to organize a Meetup in your community and
encourage your like-minded friends to do the same. Meetups
are being formed across
America by people just like you and me who know that
time is of the essence. No special knowledge about
the Constitution or running a Meetup is required.
Participation ensures the People are informed about
the Constitution, the Remedies for the violations,
what
America
would be like if we restored constitutional
governance, and enables us to network together, en
masse, to bring about the desired end. The agenda
for each week’s Meetup is posted in advance. Click
