Nations are subject to moral and honorable laws, the observance of which will mean life for that nation and rejection will mean the death of that nation.
Liberty and justice may survive or perish during peace as well as war. Unlimited vigilance by a nation's citizenry to maintain its institutions is as important and necessary during periods of war as in periods of peace to assure a nation is seated on a firm foundation.
It may very well seem that the vicious appearance of evil threatening the stability of our nation will end in their victory. This, fortunately, is far from true. The battle between good and evil is never-ending. It is occurring right now in the United States. We are in the midst of forces struggling to bring our Constitutional Republic to its knees.
On one side or the other of this political war, each one of us must commit. Each one of us is either submissive, unwilling to stand for what is right, or courageous and willing to combat menacing assaults upon our nation and its citizens. It may very well be said that the truth during peace may be worse than the dangers of war and this is uniquely true of our nation today.
Our constitutional form of government is complex with its multiple branches keeping each other in check. There are significant advantages to such a complex form of governance, but such a complex government is more prone to becoming disrupted than are simple forms of democracies, monarchies, or autocracies. If we are to retain these advantages and prevent dangerous disruptions we must jealously guard those distinctive characteristics against the tendency of corrupt and power-hungry men toward their elimination. Marxist-Communism, a form of autocratic government, is the worst form of governance in that it creates a centralized government with all power placed in the hands of one person.
Over the past few decades, the balance of power within our federal government as well as between the sovereign states and the federal government has come under attack by people willing to ignore the Constitution and states' power under our Constitution.
We, as citizens of this great nation, must be willing to become involved with the political activities of our government to guard against the dangerous encroachment against our constitutional form of government. We must be willing to sacrifice our time and talents to this end in honor of those who have given their lives or suffered horrendous injuries in times of war to protect our Republic.
Each one of us must be willing to stand courageously and persistently by our God-given rights and the Constitution of the United States. If our constitutional form of governance is to survive it must be maintained as written by the Founding Fathers or as modified by amendments to the Constitution. It must be just as important now and always that those elected to represent the people, those within our judicial system, those within our executive branch, and “We the People” stand united to assure the perseverance of our unique form of government: for the people, by the people, and of the people.
Remember, it is wise men who establish governments; brave men who defend and die for governments; and weak, corrupt, and ambitious men who destroy governments.
The strength and power of our nation do not rest upon the fact that we are a federation of states, but that we are a Union of States, based upon a Constitution devised by the people, adopted by the people, defended by the people, and preserved by the people.
No objective is so important that we should ever sacrifice the very nature and glory of our system of government. It is critical for the survival of our Constitution that any attempt to destroy it must be quickly and sternly rebuked.
Elected officials who through motives of cowardly expediency, weakness of moral or mental character, or for other reasons fail to stand courageously together with honor and integrity to protect our essential God-given rights must be stopped and eliminated.
Today our Constitutional Republic is being seriously threatened by anarchy, which is the cause embraced by the wicked, malicious, and envious among our citizenry, and by their ignorance and perverted corruption. Our nation’s peril is to be found in weak or insidious acquiescence by our elected officials in misleading demands for inroads upon the established and tried institutions of our country, sometimes made under the pretense of reform, sometimes masquerading as justice.
Therefore, the highest and most patriotic ambition each of us can entertain is to seek to understand the fundamental principles of our constitutional heritage and to defend and protect them. Defend them against those who would narrowly restrict our God-given constitutional rights and those who would destructively expand them.
Not since the Civil War have we faced such a great force bound and determined to bring down our way of life, to divide and separate “We the People” in an effort to destroy our Constitution.
There is a path forward, but it requires us to look back to the framers who rightly insisted on preserving the prominent governing role of the state legislatures as a crucial mechanism to contain the power of the federal government.
Other than the limited and specified powers granted to the federal government, the states retain for themselves complete governing authority. Article V of the Constitution expressly grants state legislators significant authority to rebalance the constitutional structure for the purpose of restoring our founding principles, should the federal government shed its limitations, abandon its original purpose, and grow too powerful.
We desperately need to convene an Article V convention to add amendments to the Constitution which would stop the Marxist-Communist movement from their consistent and determined path to destroying our Constitutional Republic.
It is far past time that the legislators of every state call for a convention as allowed under Article V of the Constitution. Convention of States is focused on the passage of three amendments to our Constitution:
1) Term Limits
2) Fiscal Restraints and Balanced Budgets
3) Restricted Federal Jurisdiction.
