Ed. note:
This update regards the
upcoming historic Continental Congress 2009 event
to be held Philadelphia. As part of CC 2009,
delegates selected by the People from each of the
fifty states will convene to discuss the
Government’s ongoing violations of the
Constitution and strategies the People can employ
to peaceably curtail the abuse. Although these
violations have been widely debated for years, it
is the Government’s patent refusal to respond to
any and all First Amendment Petitions for Redress
that now compel the People to justly and actively
resist the tyranny.
We strongly encourage our readers to review
each of our
latest updates.
At a minimum, please be sure to read our “Summit
Call”
and “Line
in the Sand” web
articles
which provide a good overview of the
constitutional crisis and CC 2009
initiative.
The immediate tasks are to locate venues for the Continental
Congress 2009 promotional meetings, increase
attendance at those meetings, identify potential
delegates to CC 2009 and contact potential donors.
We have had a number of volunteers step forward to assist
with this effort but still need additional
volunteers to help arrange logistics for the balance
of the upcoming meetings. Suggested possible local
venues include libraries, hotels, county and state
courtrooms, and college campuses. Campus locations
are usually best due to their generally lower cost
and higher seating capacity.
Those assisting in
venue selection should coordinate their activities
directly with Bob Schulz at
bob@givemeliberty.org and at 518-361-8153
(cell). Click

meeting schedule.
We also need to increase attendance at the meetings by
notifying other organizations, sending press
releases to local and state media outlets using our
special media locator tool, arranging interviews
with local radio talk show hosts, and sending
letters to the editor.
Again, we also need to nominate Delegates to the CC 2009
proceedings. These individuals should optimally be
accomplished in their professional fields of
endeavor, including authors, scholars, activists,
etc. that have demonstrated a proven passion for the
Constitution. These representatives of the People
should possess an esteemed level of respectability
in their communities, and be of good character.
Please remember that Continental Congress 2009 is no
ordinary gathering of patriots. These individuals
will likely be setting a course of action the larger
masses of the People will take to reclaim their
Liberty and reestablish Constitutional Order. As
with our Founders, the quality and integrity of the
delegates representing the People will be closely
scrutinized by both our contemporaries and our
posterity.
DONORS
Let’s face the barren facts. This is an historic undertaking
of the utmost importance. Our Republic has suffered
grave injuries and our Constitution hangs by mere
threads. The Government wantonly violates our
fundamental Laws and refuses to be held accountable
in any manner. Constitutional Justice evades us in
the Courts and our economy has been dealt a near
deathblow as the result of decades of rule by a
privately-owned banking cartel and reliance upon
a debt-based fiat currency.
Together we have arrived at a moment in history where Liberty
will either survive or be lost.
Continental Congress 2009 is a profound project of
the People that requires significant funding if it
is to succeed. Beyond the basic logistics costs of
hosting the event, the only practical limitation on
our ability to bring this battle for Liberty into
the homes and offices of the American People is our
ability to fund the means of communication by which
we might reach them. The more effectively we reach
like-minded Americans, the more likely our success.
The costs to do so, although significant, are
certainly not beyond the reach of those already
committed to the initiative of Freedom.
Although each has a personal responsibility to
assist this noble cause as his/her means permit,
those of us who may have been blessed with financial
abundance and the most generous shares of the bounty
of the nation face a higher moral quandary and
invitation: If the Divine gift of Liberty be forever
lost, of what value is earthly wealth? Is it also
not possible that at least a portion of such
personal abundance has been ordained for just such a
moment as that we now confront?
We urge every person of success and means to
consider the profound personal impact they could
have on the future of the Republic and possibly the
planet. It is time for the relatively few who have
been so blessed to search their hearts and choose
the future that their children -- and everyone’s
children, will come to experience.
If you personally know a Liberty-minded individual
that might be able to make a significant donation (tax
deductible), please contact them, share your
knowledge and personal commitment to this project
with them and urge them to consider joining our
righteous cause. If you feel you need some
additional background resources or support materials
(e.g., a WTP full-color brochure, etc.), please
contact Bob Schulz via email at
bob@givemeliberty.org. To help us, please
provide information regarding the potential donor,
as well as a mailing address to send any requested
materials. We will evaluate and respond to such
requests as we are able.
CONSTITUTION CENTER
Our first urgent need is to sign the initial contract to lock
in the minimum commitment for our Philadelphia venue
at the Constitution Center across from Independence
Hall. To sign the contract, we need to raise
$14,000 asap. Thank you for
your
generous support. Every little bit helps.
