To Americans everywhere:
As Wes Riddle of Texas has written, “The term Republic had a
significant meaning for all early Americans.
The form of government
secured by the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and
the Constitution was unique, requiring strict limitation of government
power. Powers that were permitted would be precisely defined and
delegated by the people, with all public officials being bound by their
oath of office to uphold the Constitution.
The
Constitution made it clear that the government was not to interfere
with productive nonviolent human energy. This is the key element that
has permitted America’s great achievements and made America the
political and economic envy of the world. We have truly been blessed.”
To all who cherish our individual liberty, do not despair. Let us not
give up in our effort to save our Representative Republic from the now
constant attacks from president Barack Obama and his czars upon our
system of Constitutional Law. We, the American people, must unite and
come together now as never before in the history of this great nation.
If we will stand with each other, as the American people, forgetting
political party ties, we can and must save ourselves and keep this
Republic from being destroyed and replaced by Barack Obama Socialism. It
is our responsibility to do it. The founders of the American Republic
structured the system so we could always do just that.
We,
the governed, have sole consent as to whom we allow to sit in power in
our Capital. Like all human beings do, per our nature, we make mistakes.
A mistake was made by electing Barack Obama as president in 2008. We
now must admit it to ourselves, suck it up and make a correction.
Stopping Socialism is the most important issue before the American
people today. The president, upon taking office, swears to defend and
protect the Constitution. Barack Obama has done neither. It is a matter
of public record that he has, in fact, intentionally done the exact
opposite. We must be united in purpose to save our Republic from Obama
and Socialism.
What is INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY? Because I was born (73 years ago) and
raised in the small American town of Henryetta, Oklahoma, I have never
personally experienced government oppression, as have so many billions
of people throughout history all over this world. So I, like most
Americans, have taken it for granted and assumed it would always be thus
in this country. I began a search to answer for myself the real meaning
of Individual Liberty, and also Is America an exceptional country
because of it? As you recall, Barack Obama said publicly he does not
believe it is. In all my wildest dreams I could have never imagined an
American President thinking that, much less hearing a president of the
United States make that statement.
As I began, I was reminded very quickly that freedom is not something
granted to us by the government. It is not something the government
allows us to have, but one of our God given unalienable rights. It is
one of the sacred rights of all mankind endowed upon us by God Almighty,
our Creator. If we are herded and driven like cattle, dictated to by
government as though they own us and we are subjects of that government,
it is because we have lost our God-given right to be free, which He
bestowed upon us at birth.
I learned in my search, of all the wonderful things America is about,
that Individual Freedom is our most precious and greatest treasure.
Individual Liberty is the absence of government restraint on our ability
to think and act for ourselves. Individual Liberty is being free from
government oppression and regulation, and it automatically carries with
it individual responsibility for our own decisions and actions. Freedom
is the capacity for self-determination. It is not cast in stone to
forever be, but it is a condition, and conditions can change. Individual
Freedom can grow and expand, but it can also shrink and disappear. The
spirit of Liberty has to be in the population. Individual Freedom will
only be preserved as long as there is devotion to freedom expressed in
the hearts and actions of the people. Our desire for Individual Liberty
must be stronger than Obama’s desire to turn us into his subjects under a
Socialist government of America or we will become slaves to him and
that government. He will have accomplished his goal.
In 1775 Alexander Hamilton said, “The sacred rights of mankind are
not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are
written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the
hand of the divinity itself, and can never be erased.” President Bush
said a few years ago, “History moves toward freedom because the desire
for freedom is written in every human heart.”
In his address at the Gettysburg National Cemetery, president
Lincoln declared, “It is for us the living to be dedicated here to the
unfinished work which they who fought here have thus so nobly advanced.”
That unfinished work for which so many American soldiers willingly go
to the battles of war, and which so many have given the full measure of
devotion, is the cause of The United States of America as an exceptional
country of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. I here declare to you, that work will
never be finished. It is up to each generation to continue the work and
keep the American spirit of Individual Freedom alive in every heart.
Barack Obama campaigned on “fundamental change in America.” Had he
given us the details of what he meant by that, I seriously doubt he
would have been elected. Americans were not looking to change Individual
Liberty for subjugation to an expanding Federal Socialist government
with more and more regulation of almost every aspect of our lives. We
have become a strong and exceptional nation through the self reliance of
Individual Freedom, and the preservation of that liberty through the
spilling of the blood of our fellow patriots. The more power we allow
Barack Obama and the Federal Government to amass the less Individual
Freedom we will have. Freedom is a birthright from God. If we become
government slaves it is because we allowed it to be taken from us.
Our great nation was given birth, out of the womb of a bloody
revolution for liberty, as a Representative Republic of Free
Individuals, not one of Socialism and collective slaves of government.
Americans everywhere, we had better get involved and take a stand
against government control of our lives. Now is not the time to be
silent as Barrack Obama attempts to dismantle this great country and
bring it down to a lower level of the Socialist countries of Europe. Now
is the time for us to be resolved to protect and defend our Individual
Freedom. We hear it said Obama is not a leader, that he is incompetent.
It is very true that he is not a leader for a Representative Republic of
Free Individuals, for he does not believe in the system of government
which our Founders established. But he is an exceptional leader in the
effort to turn America into a Socialist nation.
To everyone who will listen and hear, never believe for a moment
that Barack Obama is incompetent. I submit to you, he knows exactly what
he is doing and why he is doing it. He spent most of his early years
studying and learning how to do it under the teachings of the Socialist
Revolutionary Saul Alinsky; his Chicago neighbor Bill Ayers, and others.
These men now have one of their own positioned in the White House. As
Barack Obama summarized at the height of his campaign: “We are the ones
we’ve been waiting for.” He does not believe we are an exceptional
nation. Be not deceived, Barack Obama sees America very differently than
our Founding Fathers and how you and I see America.
I earnestly pray that Barack Obama is defeated in his bid for a
second term as president. Given the manner in which he is now shredding
the Constitution, if given four more years to act, knowing he doesn’t
have to answer to us for his actions, the damage he can and will do in
tearing down and destroying this country as a Representative Republic,
is at present unimaginable.
Please feel free to pass this to whom ever you wish. I am not afraid.
God Bless America, Please.
