A MOST URGENT APPEAL REGARDING CC 2009
 


Independence Hall, Philadelphia
  Dear Patriots and Friends of We The People Foundation:

As I write this letter, I realize how many of you have been receiving WTP information and updates over many years.  I have been so grateful for your interest, support, strength and encouragement on this challenging journey, to protect and defend the letter and spirit of our Constitution of The United States of America.

Since its inception, WTP has stood for Constitutional Obedience without exception, striving to hold our elected officials accountable to the finest governing documents ever given to mankind.  Anything less than full compliance with our Constitution and Bill of Rights is unacceptable. 
 
After years of rationally and intelligently Petitioning the Government for Redress of violations of numerous provisions of the Constitution with no reasonable response, and especially now as violations to the Constitution escalate with devastating effects on our country and citizens, we have turned our focus to Continental Congress 2009 knowing that this is the appropriate next step for a FREE People to take. 
 
Since last December, we have been diligently working to convene a Continental Congress for America from November 9th through the 24th, to conclude on the eve of our Thanksgiving holiday.

Over the years, I have learned well that anything worth having does not come easily. We are in need of immediate funding for this project.  We here at WTP have done everything we can to lay out the Vision; prepare the way for its fulfillment and set in motion that which will bring success.

It is now up to you, The People, to support it or not. It is up to The People to join with us to carry it forward.  It is up to The People now to stand together in number to make the difference that will save America.
 
I am asking every person on this list, if they feel to do so, to contribute $100 to this cause, so we can move forward.

If every person who receives this email takes this request seriously and cares enough to follow through, the event can be completely funded by those who are nearest and dearest to this organization. 
 
Through your contributions, we will be able to:

ü       sign the final contract and announce the venue where 153 delegates will be lodged and fed for seventeen days (at no cost to the Delegates, except their travel expense);

ü       sign a contract for worldwide live streaming Internet broadcast of the complete daily deliberations, debates and decision making process;

ü       sign a contract for stenographic services to prepare a written (legal) transcript of the entire CC2009 proceedings;

ü       promote public awareness of CC 2009 by paying television and radio stations to broadcast our just-produced set of CC 2009 advertisements (seven, 30-second, nifty spots complete with our new branding logo); and

ü       pay a small stipend to full-time team members needed to manage the vast administrative, logistical and technology details, and cover the myriad costs associated with such a large-scale national event.

Through your contributions, delegates from every state will be able to come together, as our Founding Fathers did, to present the facts before the world of what is and has been taking place, and decide what can be done peacefully and legally to end the violations of our Constitution before it is too late.  
 
There is so much at stake in America now.  What I feel to do is inspire you to look at what our country would be if we did an about-face and enough Americans demanded a return to the Constitution.  If you accept the fact that our governing documents were given to us by “Divine Providence,” through our Founding Fathers, then you must know that adherence to its Principles and Provisions is the recipe to Fulfill the Ideal of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" for every individual. 

Remember, please, that the cause of America is still the cause of the World. The lamp of Liberty was fully lit here, as nowhere else. Our governing documents show the Path of Liberty for peoples and countries all over the Earth, in opposition to the darkness of tyranny and despotism. 

I Pray we can count on your willingness to support CC 2009’s purpose of ending the violations of our Constitution. 

I Pray we stand together to prevent Liberty from yielding and government from gaining ground.

I Pray you do not put off till tomorrow what needed doing today.

I Pray the ordinary, non-aligned People, as well as the rich and highly accomplished are our dependence for continued Freedom.

I Pray that every man would contribute to the defense of the greatest governing documents ever given to mankind and the preservation of True Freedom.

I Pray that every man would ask himself how he would act were all the world looking at him, then act accordingly.

I Pray that every man would ask himself how he would answer his grandchild’s question, “Where were you when America lost Her Freedom?” then act accordingly.

I Pray that every man would ask himself how he would answer his grandchild’s question, “What did you do during America’s coup de main?” then act accordingly.

I Pray that the free among us will enlist for service in an army of centuries and legions.

I Pray that it is in our lives, not our words that our patriotism will be read, for deeds speak louder than words.

I Pray that the Constitution would be the object of conscientious regard and pursuit – becoming the religion of our land.

I Pray that you will dream the Dream of Continental Congress 2009 with me for our shared Vision will multiply and spread across America, and will restore the lost luster of the history of the past.

I Pray knowing that critical analytical reasoning is now necessary, then action according to the dictates of your reason.

I Pray for understanding that Government is always the enemy of Freedom and an enemy generally says and believes what he wishes.

I Pray for understanding that the Liberty of thinking and acting freely guards our other liberties.

I thank you for the support you have given in the past, in whatever way you have felt to give it.  I can assure you that every dollar you give now will be used for CC 2009 in defense of our Founding Documents, in a manner that is worthy of those Patriots of Old who gave their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to constitute a government of, by and for the People.  
 
May all Americans carry the knowing in their hearts that America was given by God to the Free. The same God who gave us Life, gave us Liberty!   This same God will see the Free People of America through this time to a Right Outcome. 
 
Thank you for your time and consideration of my request.

 In Liberty and with Blessings for you and your loved ones,

Postscript: 
 

The purpose of CC 2009 is to add a period to the end of the “Liberty Sentence” – i.e., government accountability for violations of individual, unalienable Rights guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America. 

The Right to Liberty and Freedom from unrestrained acts of Government has been evolving over a long period of time. Key historic milestones have been the Magna Carta, English Bill of Rights, our Declaration of Independence and America’s State and Federal Constitutions.  

However, there is one remaining milestone to be achieved before individuals can say, “We are Free”: the ability of the individual to hold government officials accountable when they violate any of the remaining provisions of the Constitution.

No matter the number of enumerated and un-enumerated individual Rights guaranteed by the Constitution, they are meaningless unless, when violated, the individual is able to hold their government officials accountable. It’s well settled in American Jurisprudence that “any Right that is not enforceable is not a Right.”
 

It is self-evident that individual Rights are eviscerated in the absence of recognition of the individual’s unalienable Right of accountability (enforcement). For that reason, constitutional scholars refer to the Right to hold the government accountable as the “Capstone Right” -- the Right that caps all the others.  

While a self-evident Truth, the Founders included a written guarantee of the Right of accountability in the First Amendment, as an absolutely necessary and critical part of the overall balance of power between the People and Government officials. 

However, the Right of accountability has been all but forgotten by the People. Until relatively recently, there has been little cause for them to claim and exercise the Right.  

These are tough times; a struggle of historic proportions is underway between those who do not believe that the rights of the majority are tempered by the minority and the individual under the rule of law and those that do.  

Before Americans can truly say, “The God who has given us Life has given us Liberty” - that is, before the evolution of Liberty can be said to be complete, one elusive milestone needs to be achieved: a clear and resounding demonstration of the individual’s Right to hold government officials accountable to the rest of the Constitution. The result would be an enormous shift of power from the Government back to the People where the ultimate power was meant to reside in the first place.

The mettle of the Constitution is, indeed, tested in tough times. Enter Continental Congress 2009.
 

If Continental Congress 2009 can realize its purpose, the American people will have, for the first time, an opportunity to experience the Fullness of the Gifts intended for each of us, realizable only by obedience to our Founding Documents.  Our people do not know what they are missing!  If the outcome of Continental Congress 2009 is realized -- a Nation that Beholds and Embraces Its Constitution --  what advantages would show themselves in our daily lives.
 

ADVANTAGES OF CC 2009

No more undeclared wars that undermine the economy, the family and the Constitution.

No more gifting of public money and credit to private corporations for decidedly private purposes, which undermines the economy, the family and the Constitution.

No more debt-based, fiat currency that undermines the economy, the family and the Constitution.

No more direct, un-apportioned taxes on labor that undermine the economy, the family and the Constitution.

No more War on Terror with its developing Police State, which undermine the economy, the family and the Constitution.

No more unenforced immigration laws that undermine the economy, the family and the Constitution.

No more counting votes in secret, a practice that undermines the economy, the family and the Constitution.

No more attempts to disarm Americans.

No more attempts to create a North American Union. 
 

BENEFITS OF CC 2OO9

Government restraint, individual Rights and governance by the people as a Republic under the rule of law.

Individual Prosperity and quality of life rather than booms and bust

Respect rather than hatred abroad

Creditor rather than Debtor status

Rule of law rather than Rule of man or Whim

Pride rather than apathy

Happiness rather than fear

A servant government rather than privileged autocrats controlling and enslaving the rest of us.


FEATURES of CC 2009:

People from each state who have a proven passion for the Constitution as scholars, authors or activists, and who are concerned about the course America has been put on, coming together for up to 17 days to discuss the state of the Constitution and what a free People ought to do about it, constitutionally and non-violently, consequences and practicalities considered.

The CC 2009 delegates will hear from experts about the factual history, meaning, effect and significance of a specific prohibitions, restrictions and mandates of the Constitution. Based on documentary evidence, the Delegates will hear how our government officials have violated/broken those links. Based on documentary evidence, the Delegates will hear how the People have rationally and intelligently claimed and exercised their First and Ninth Amendment Rights to hold those officials accountable through formal Petitions for Redress. Those Delegates will hear how those officials have refused to listen or respond to the People’s repeated Petitions for Redress.

The delegates will hear from a score of legal scholars that under our system of jurisprudence, “silence is admission,” and it shall ever be so with a servant-government.

The Delegates will then deliberate, discuss, debate and recommend a possible course of action for the free People of America to take, consequences and practicalities considered.  

See It.  Be It. Help to make It Happen. The Destiny of America lies in the heart of every American so each person is important now to the Cause of Liberty.  And remember that...

"God can only do for what us what can be done through us."
