Continental Congress 2009:

[NOBama]

The Appropriate Next Step for a Free People

As many know, WTP is facilitating the Continental Congress assembly that will be held later this year.

What must the People of America do when their elected officials decide that “[T]here are things in the Constitution that have been overtaken by events, by time…things that are no longer relevant to a modern society - things that are inappropriate, anachronistic." ? (Footnote 1)

What is the appropriate next step to take when the Government’s violations of our Founding Documents are causing the collapse of our Republic and the suffering of our People?

What can we do, as witnesses to a system of government that now includes routine abuses of long-settled judicial doctrines and the People’s Right to Due Process which deny the People not only any modicum of Justice, but their constitutional Rights?

Awakened Americans are now faced with a Government they no longer recognize, that follows no charter, arrogating and usurping powers not granted it by the Governing Documents that rule this Land. Yet these same officials have only one oath, under God (no less), to uphold the very Constitution!

Civic education without civic action is for naught. This is especially true in a time when we routinely fail to educate our children the true history, meaning, effect and significance of every provision of our Founding Documents. Were that every citizen knew how the Founding Fathers meant it to be! Each of us would be invigorated to progress through our lives, knowing our Rights and Government’s obligations.

If we truly grasped the need to vigilantly defend Liberty or endure its loss, the core of our daily lives and being would surely include a healthy measure of active loyalty and obligation to the Republic to ensure those in office never step beyond the lines of power drawn by The People.

Through ignorance and apathy America has come to rely exclusively on the electoral process to alter public outcomes and government behavior. Is this ultimately not a fatal mistake?
