If you are a patriot at
heart, there is a reason to celebrate in the midst
of all that is taking place. We believe an
historical event has occurred that has the potential
to be a game changer in America. For those of you
who have followed We the People Foundation and We
The People Congress programs and activities over the
years, you know all too well that our long-held goal
has been to institutionalize citizen vigilance. The
time has finally come.
This past week, state officials in Connecticut and
New York approved the creation of Constitution
Lobbies, the first organizations of their kind ever
established in America. Freedom-loving people in
other states are in the process of doing the same.
If you live in either state and are ready to become
a founding member, simply go to
www.GiveMeLiberty.org and click on “Constitution
Lobby.” If you live somewhere else, get connected by
sending an email to
honoramerica@gmail.com with your name, town,
state and telephone number.
“We The People of Connecticut, Inc,” and “We The
People of New York, Inc,” have been formed of, by
and for the People of each state with the sole
purpose of organizing a large number of citizens
into a Constitution Lobby that will watch what
government is doing at every level and hold them
directly accountable without undue reliance on the
political process. Each organization is wholly
independent, but have identical statements of
purposes. Each Constitution Lobby will ensure that
the letter and the spirit of the City Charters and
the State and federal Constitutions are upheld.
Incorporators and supporters of the new Lobbies are
planning statewide tours as part of intense
membership drives with the goal of attracting 5% of
each state’s total population. Anything less and the
Lobbies run the risk of being ineffective. Only by
organizing and speaking for a large number of People
will the Lobby’s voice be heard and respected. In
Connecticut, incorporators seek 178,000 members. In
New York, 5% represents 800,000. Given that the
Lobby is non-political and meant to be overseen by a
coalition of national and state pro-Constitution
groups, any individual who wants constitutional
governance carried out in decency and good order can
be a member of the Lobby, without compromising their
activities or efforts in other places.
Our hope is
that all people who are concerned about the economy
and the general condition and direction of the state
and who see the need for much more government
accountability will quickly get on board. Annual
dues are $25.00, which is not only economically
viable for all, but represents an amazing
cost-benefit ratio. The low dues means there is
almost no risk to join and the benefits will be
tremendous and enduring for all.
Tour meetings will take place in church fellowship
halls and other community meeting rooms. The format
for the meetings has been designed to bring people
together in an uplifting and positive manner to
learn about the Lobby and how it will operate.
Once the member goal has been achieved, “citizen
vigilance centers” will be established in the state
capitals of Hartford and Albany, with constitutional
attorneys and other appropriate staff who will
assist a network of paid “constitutional monitors”
located throughout each state, who will quietly and
professionally watch the actions of local and state
officials, comparing their actions with the
requirements of their Constitutions and Laws.
Everyone and everything in America now has a Lobby,
except the People and our Constitutions. The
Constitution Lobbies now being established will
never be involved with political issues or questions
nor will they endorse candidates or make
contributions to campaigns. Focusing entirely on
challenging violations of the Law, from the
Constitutions down to town ordinances, the Lobby
will be above politics, personalities and parties.
Government will soon come to know there is a
no-nonsense, effective watchdog in place to keep
government on track. The buggers are getting a
watchdog.
Bob has spoken about institutionalizing citizen
vigilance in America for years, long before the
American people, government or the media were awake
to the dangers of routine violations of the
principles and prohibitions of the greatest
governing documents ever given to mankind. For more
than thirty years, he has been teaching citizens
about their Constitutions and Petitioning the
government to stop violations which he says have
devastated America. He has repeatedly called for
freedom loving people to come together and unite in
their stand for constitutional governance, using the
example of Gandhi and Martin Luther King as models
for reform.
We have ample evidence of the fact that
individuals and small groups cannot prevail. A
Constitution Lobby, with the organization, power and
resources of a mass-movement, will provide the
needed pressure to ensure the Constitution is going
to be defended and obeyed. We have seen clearly that
Jefferson was right: “the People are the only sure
reliance for the preservation of our Liberty.”
New Yorkers are familiar with Bob and what he can do
in the face of government wrong-doing. He is the
right one to lead the call across the State. Before
turning his attention to violations of the federal
Constitution, he spent nearly two decades
petitioning local and state government in New York.
His efforts resulted in dozens of decisions by the
Unified Court System, often setting significant
precedent in law, including State Finance law,
Environmental law, Highway law, Standing law, and
Election law. He is currently lead plaintiff in the
Clean Elections lawsuit which is challenging the New
York Board of Elections regarding the use of
electronic machines for vote counting, arguing the
People have the Fundamental Right to know their
votes are being counted accurately and also two
other cases where he is giving assistance to
citizens in their efforts to reverse wrongs in their
towns.
The effectiveness of any Lobby is directly
proportional to the size of its membership. If the
right number of People step up and stand together,
watch out. If enough states follow CT and NY’s
example, the Voice of Free People shall be heeded.
The weeks ahead will show whether the citizens of
Connecticut and New York care enough about their
Constitutions to come together in this way, united
in purpose and spirit. In New York, Schulz and
Whitmore will hit the road, hoping to achieve the
membership goal by Constitution Day, September 17,
or be forced to continue to witness the unraveling
of the Great American Experiment.
If you live in Connecticut or New York and want to
become a member, be considered for a Constitution
Monitor position, or help with the state tour in
your area, please email
estellestevenson@prudentialct.com for CT; or
honoramerica@gmail.com for NY.

PASS THIS FORWARD!
What's Happening in America
is OUR FAULT. We have to fix it. The
Constitution will not be defended, unless We The
People defend it.
A non-political Constitution
Lobby in EVERY STATE will bring together enough
people to do what we cannot do alone or in small
groups - Government needs to be held accountable.

Review last week's agenda.
Step UP for your State - Get Connected - send an
email to

it Happen.
Everything and Everyone in
America has a Lobby except the People and their
Constitutions. NOT ANY MORE.
HISTORY IN THE MAKING:
If you live in Connecticut
or New York, you can NOW become a founding member
(!) of the Constitution Lobby which was approved
in those states last week. A REASON FOR THE
PEOPLE TO REJOICE.
For ALL The FREE People of
Connecticut and New York NOW intend to accomplish
to draw the member base that will make each
Constitution Lobby an organized, powerful entity
with resources and backing that will hold
government accountable; for all the OTHER States
headed in the same direction, HERE IS THE VISION
WE HOLD:
IMAGINE A CONSTITUTION
LOBBY, OF THE PEOPLE! BY THE PEOPLE! FOR THE
PEOPLE! ESTABLISHED IN EVERY STATE, WHOSE SOLE
PURPOSE IS TO HOLD ELECTED OFFICIALS ACCOUNTABLE
TO CITY CHARTERS, STATE CONSTITUTIONS AND OUR
FEDERAL CONSTITUTIONS.
IMAGINE AN ORGANIZATION which is Free! from the
electoral process! Free! from politics,
personalities and parties! Whose attorneys and
other staff act on behalf of the People to stop
violations of our Constitution before they can
injure our reputation, our economy and our way of
Life; who ensure the principles, mandates and
restrictions of our Charters of Freedom are
followed which only if followed, provide the means
through which WE ARE FREE! Imagine an
organization that does NOT get involved with
elections, candidates or political questions of
any kind, but whose sole interest is the
fulfillment of our Constitutions.
IMAGINE AN ORGANIZATION whose members number in
the hundreds of thousands, who together, provide
the backbone and PEOPLE POWER to ensure
constitutional governance is restored and
maintained in America. An organization which is
endorsed, supported and respected by the People
and the government as an organized powerful PEOPLE
LOBBY who demand the Constitution hold sway.
THE GREAT SEARCH IS ON for patriots in every
state, (except Connecticut and New York where it
is now accomplished) who will step up to be the
founding incorporators for a We The People
organization, opening the way for
institutionalized citizen vigilance permanently
established in America.
THE GREAT SEARCH IS ON FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS
WHO KNOW THIS IS AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME; who
want to put good people in office who will restore
our Constitution, but who also know that we cannot
depend on the electoral process alone nor the
government in its current operation, as any
guarantee.
