Over the last weeks, an additional number of petitions for redress of
grievances have been drafted by the We The People Foundation. These formal
petitions cover a wide range of repugnant acts committed by the US
Government that directly and unequivocally violate both the Constitution and
the individual rights of the People.
The systemic nature and magnitude of these offenses should
cause every citizen to recoil with alarm and move them to act decisively in
defense of our Republic and our freedom.
Hundreds of questions in the new petitions for redress
cover the war powers clauses of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the
"Federal" Reserve. The petitions address key individual rights such as
privacy, property, due process, free speech, the right to keep and bear arms
and the rights of assembly and petition. Specific focus is given to the
"War Powers Act" and the Orwellian-named "USA Patriot Act."
The petitions will be posted at
www.givemeliberty.org for public
review and electronic signing the week of September 30. We urge everyone to
spread word of these historical petitions.
On or about November 1, the petitions and signatures will
be formally submitted, (along with our previous petition regarding the
income tax fraud), to the Executive and Legislative branches of the federal
government.
We The People will respectfully request that the
President, each member of the House of Representatives and Senate honor
their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution and honor the explicit
legal obligation of their offices by formally responding to the People’s
petitions for redress of grievances.
We The People, will peaceably assemble on Thursday,
November 14, 2002, near the Washington monument in Washington, DC. There, we
will await the President, the Senate Majority Leader, the Speaker of the
House and the other members of Congress (or their representatives), to
receive official answers to these questions -- OR to learn when these
representatives intend to provide official answers to these questions.
This is the moment we will know if we still have a
republican form of government limited by a written Constitution and the rule
of Law or a democracy governed by opinion polls and the rule of "whim."
This is the moment we will learn if the ultimate power
still rests with the people -- if we still have a servant government -- if
we still have a government that derives its just power from the consent of
the governed.
We will know, without question, whether we have a
government bound by a Constitution, or not.
The US Government will determine by its response, in that
moment, how the destiny of this nation will proceed.
Our servant government will, as it is required by the 1st
Amendment to the US Constitution, provide substantive, direct responses to
the Peoples’ formal petitions OR the government will, at its sole discretion
-- by either its non-response or a deficient response -- initiate a
consequence of organized, peaceful, legal and forceful activities to be
executed by We The People to repel the acts of tyranny and those that would
perpetrate them.
Should the government fail to answer the Peoples’
petitions that afternoon, Bob Schulz, Chairman of the We The People Congress
will publicly outline a roadmap of bold steps the People will take to
confront governmental tyranny across our land to preserve, to protect and to
enhance our Constitution and our unalienable, individual rights.
The People are prepared to act -- and will act to defend
liberty and freedom.

Here is an overview of the events planned for the DC rally
on Thursday, November14:
8 AM – 11 AM: The Freedom Drive
arrives in the District of Columbia to celebrate our freedom, our wonderful
country, our admirable Republic, our astonishing Constitution and, in
particular, our marvelous right to petition the government for a redress of
grievances and government’s obligation to respond.
This is a celebration! We will wave our flags and honk our
horns. As an example of how our wonderful system of governance is designed
to work, for all the world to see, We, the People of America, having
respectfully and properly petitioned the government for a redress of the
most pressing, constitutional grievances of our day, will be celebrating the
Petitions for Redress and the fact that the government will, as ordained, be
appearing before the petitioners to respond to the petitions.
We will drive toward the Capitol area and (legally) drive
around a short, designated route. The route will take us around the White
House, the Senate and House office buildings, the US Supreme Court, the IRS
and the Federal Reserve buildings.
11 AM – Noon: The People will
leave the immediate Capitol area, park their vehicles and return to the
Washington Monument area for the rally.
Noon: The celebration of
Freedom continues! We will exercise our right to peaceable assembly. We will
have a large, high-visibility elevated stage area, large visual effects &
messages, live musical entertainment and several short speeches on freedom
and the Constitution by noted individuals.
Before the day is over we hope to deliver a few
additional, and pleasant surprises that you and your family will remember as
witnesses and participants in this historic day -- when the People came
together to stand for the Constitution and stand against tyranny.
2 PM: The Moment of Truth.
At 2 PM, The People will respectfully call into the crowd for their elected
representatives to come forward with the government's responses to the
People’s Petitions for Redress.
At that moment -- The Moment of Truth -- our servant
government will answer the People.
Those engaged in party politics as a profession -- our
politicians -- our elected representatives, will have decided to either
answer the People’s Petitions for Redress or they will have decided to
ignore the People and the Constitution.
If the elected representatives fail to honor their oaths
to support the Constitution by failing to respond to the People’s Petitions
for Redress, they will be signaling their belief that the People have no
unalienable Rights, that those Rights are subject to modification, that the
Constitution is merely a piece of paper and that government should not be
limited by the Constitution.
To be sure, these are treasonous beliefs, and our
politicians will have to live with the consequences should they fail to
respond.
If it becomes necessary, Bob Schulz will ask the question,
"What does a free People when its government acts outside the boundaries the
People have established around its power and will not justify its behavior?"
Confronted with an insufficient response from the
government, Schulz will publicly detail appropriate "next steps" in the
Peoples’ drive to restore the Constitution.
4 – 5 PM: Closing Remarks and Prayer for Our Nation
Whether the government responds or not, significant trials
and tribulations lie ahead for this nation.
Whether by the orderly correction and submission of our
servant government to the Rule of Law under our Constitution, or by the
outcomes of the acts the People will peacefully, but forcefully, undertake
to restore the Constitution, the months and years ahead will hold many
changes and challenges for our nation.
Over decades, the People have seen the foundation of this
nation crumble. It will not be, and cannot be, rebuilt overnight with -- or
without -- the cooperation of the government and our elected officials.
As it was with our Forefathers, it requires the
acknowledgment of the Divine, and the knowledge that the Divine gifts of
freedom and liberty are the true source of this nation’s greatness and what
will ultimately return this nation to endure as a beacon of Light for all of
mankind.
5 PM: The Peoples’ Fireworks
The decision our government makes on November 14th
will determine whether these fireworks mark a true jubilation of the
Peoples’ triumph over modern governmental mischief and tyranny -- or they
will be viewed, symbolically, as the echoes, rumblings and flashes of the
unfolding force of the People as they begin to restore their Constitution and
reclaim their freedom.
Either way, this day’s sun will set as a celebration of
We The People.
