We The People of These United States of America,-------

is Not the billing address for an out-of-control government that continues to fund private and corporate rescue missions along with unconstitutional wars of their choosing with OUR money, standing, reputation, lives, and liberties.

WE THE PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, is to be the voice, the vote, and the actual government. We are to be the ones to monitor and to check and balance our government.

A true and correct democracy is to be, as our Constitution sets forth and requires, a government of the people, by the people, for the people. It is not supposed to be the self - serving and big corporation funding bureaucracy that it has become. And it is not just our right, but indeed OUR DUTY, as THE PEOPLE to hold those accountable for violations and encroachments against the constitution.

The constitutionis only as strong as the PEOPLE and their actions. It can not defend itself. In fact our entire military is sworn To defend this constitution against all enemies, Foreign & Domestic. The Constitution is merely a document that provides both our rights and imposes duties upon us, THE PEOPLE.

In 2008, WE THE PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED STATES, find ourselves not too far from violations of powers and unchecked usurpations that led our brave and generous fore families from declaring their independence from the King. These men and women risked their lifes and their freedoms so that a true democracy could be born in this new land. And after fighting a war against their motherland, these wise men guaranteed each of us certain rights forever by enacting the Constitution.

On this upcoming Independence Day, 4 July 2008, please reflect upon the words; your rights, and your duties as THE PEOPLE OF THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Then stand up, Be heard and demand a real change to restore our Democracy and our rights. Only then can you enjoy the Pursuit of Happiness, Liberty, and Justice that you are entitleld to and have earned.

"A REBEL'S YELL"

I Am The Constitution of The United States. I am a Rebel, a wounded rebel. I have been assaulted and violated by those entrusted to guard and protect me. I have lost a significant amount of my powers and strength. My respect and standing has greatly diminished. Many executive, legislative, and judicial officers have usurped my powers and eliminated my checks and balances. I am YOUR, The Peoples document and Protector. And yet, you have failed to protect me!!!

The duty to protect me, so that I may always protect you and your rights, was bestowed upon each of you by our forefathers. I understand your confusion and know that your neglect was caused by the very people, parties, and factions who have violated me so often. These are men and women who act out of self-serving interests. People aligned with their factions instead of with YOU, The People. These elected and appointed people have sought to prevent you from being the "Well Informed Citizenry" that our ancestors demanded. They know that uneducated and unknowing men and women can be more easlily led astray. That your weaknesses, weaknesses that are perpetuated by them, to cause you and I further harm. These Evil men and women, following their natural traits of greed and lust are in violation of all I stand for.

Be it known that I am The Constitution of These United State. That I was made effective in 1789 and should still possess all the powers and rights incorporated in me except those amendments made after careful deliberation and with the full knowing consent of YOU, The People. I contain The Bill of Rights, and the structural rules by which YOUR Democracy shall forever stand. My words shall protect every person in these United States and provide them all with Liberty and Justice; and allow each of you to pursue your own happiness.

However, I am merely a piece of parchment. I am a document&183; My words mean little or nothing if YOU the People do not defend and protect me and these words. These words are the only thing that prevents each of you from suffering the same evils, the rule of Tyrants, Kings, and Dictators that caused so many to risk their lives so that I may live and so that each of you may enjoy your liberties.

Your military men and women are sworn to "Defend and Protect" me from all enemies foreign and domestic. And yet, here I am being violated by the most powerful men and women in the world while those in the military and most of my citizens sit by silently and watch.

Our forefathers did bestow upon each of you certain inalienable rights, and duties. These rights and duties empower you and burden you with the powers and duties to follow them and defend me, so that I may live to protect you and your rights. You may assemble peacefully. You can speak as you please. You can petition your government and demand redress of all grievances. You may even abolish any person, party, faction, or form of this, your government through proper means. Because most of you do not know of these rights and duties, I sit unprotected against very powerful and knowledgeable men, women, parties, and corporations. The more I am violated, you are violated.

Therefore, in defense of me, in hopes of educating and alarming all of you, in hopes of instilling that patriotic loyalty to freedom and your pursuit of happiness that each of you holds so dear.   Read More »
