Although explicitly required by our Constitution, our government is
readying to deploy our forces to wage military battles against, and inside,
a foreign nation without a formal Declaration of War.
In hasty response to widespread fear and panic, our elected representatives
passed a bill into law, (without reading it), that by its plain language
deprives and seizes the unalienable rights of the People.
Our government has relinquished direct control of the monetary system of
this nation to a privately owned central bank. A significant portion of that
ownership is held by foreign entities.
For decades, the People have been forced, under threat of loss of
property and liberty, to endure a system of taxation that is morally
repugnant and violates virtually every Constitutionally protected right of
the People.
Are these despotic acts of our government to be tolerated by the People?
Let us thank our forefathers for their vision, foresight and innate
understanding of the nature of man, political power, and government
corruption in recognizing the explicit
right of the People to petition their government for redress.
In early November, as the focal point of
Freedom Drive
2002, the People will
formally submit to our government petitions for redress of grievances
concerning several of the most appalling abuses of government power that our
nation currently confronts.
Four petitions have been drafted by the We The People Foundation and
now await the
signatures of
the People of this nation.
The petitions cover the War Powers Clauses of the Constitution, the "USA
Patriot Act", the Federal Reserve and the federal income tax system.
On November 14, the People will peaceably assemble, en masse, on the Mall
in DC and await the responses of our government.
Every adult in this nation has a personal duty and moral responsibility
that stems directly from his or her right of citizenship, to repel the
tyrannical acts of those that the People have granted explicit, and limited
powers to.
The right to Petition is the foundation of Popular Sovereignty and is the
direct vehicle for the peaceful, non-violent
resolution of matters concerning violations of right, law and limited governance.
This right is the procedural mechanism that enables the People to call any
branch of the servant government before them.
The following paragraphs were excerpted from
These petitions are about us -- We The People. They are proof of our
resolve to correct our government’s abusive and unlawful behaviors.
As a nation, who are we -- and who we want to be? Will we tolerate
tyranny to be comfortable?
What kind of country do we want to leave to our children and future
generations of Americans?
Again, we ask: What does a free People do when confronted with a
government that refuses to honor, and systemically schemes to evade, the
boundaries and limitations established for it by We The People?
On the afternoon of November 14th, Americans will gather peacefully on
the Mall in Washington to await our government’s answers. It is critical
that every congressional district be fully represented in these petitions.
Pass word of these petitions across our land to every person you know.
The People must speak.
We stand at the brink of a Constitutionally unauthorized war and the
meltdown of a monetary system based on the endless conjuring of debt.
To "protect" us from terrorists, our most fundamental rights have been
seized and we have been deprived of their protections. To finance it
all, the IRS and DOJ use the intimidation and power of the police state to
enforce and prosecute offenses of tax "laws" --- yet they continue to refuse
to cite the specific legal authority that purportedly allows them to enforce
those laws.
If the government, once again, refuses to respond, and the People fail to
act, we will lose forever the chapter in human history when We The People
reigned sovereign, and the chains of a written constitution bound our
servant government. We have a choice. YOU have a choice.
Join with those that demand that our government obey the Constitution of
this Republic.
Sign the petitions. Get to DC.
