HOW can WE the People regain control of OUR right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? WE have delved into what won’t work in order to find what will work.

The List (simplified)

1.   Overthrow the government by a military coup or para-military militias?

2.   The 9/12 Project?

3.   ‘The Commerce Clause?’

4.   Convening a Constitutional Congress?

5.   Hope that the present circumstances will change and the will of WEthe People will be implemented?

6.   Hope that the other party will get its act together and produce the necessary changes for WE the People in future elections?

7.   Remain divided and work for self, other causes, parties and candidates.

Today: The Bread on Top of WE – a summary

In a sandwich, there are usually two pieces of bread and something in the middle. In OUR republic, the piece of bread on top of US, WE the People are all the causes even though of good intentions, are divisive because, WE are not united. If WE are not united, WE are divided. It’s just that simple. The piece of bread on the bottom US, WE the People is a corrupt, corrupting and corruptible “system.” And in the middle of the sandwich is US, WE the People. What follows is a summary of the piece of bread on top of US.

  1. Overthrowing the government by the military will not work! OUR military answer to a chain of command and ultimately to the Commander and Chief, the President of the United States. Any attempt to overthrow the government, would be considered an act of treason.
  2. The 9.12 Project will not work! People were mostly bonded together on 9.12.01 through fear. WE need to be united by the common goal of securing our sovereign and unalienable rights. The 9.12 Project purports to be a non-political organization. By its very nature, it is both political and a commercial enterprise with links to Glen Beck, Fox News and Rupert Murdoch. Being associated with these prevents this from being a viable solution, as there are many that do not support them. Therefore, WE the People remain divided.
  3. Challenging The Commerce Clause will not work! The courts generally side with their own opinions and do not appear willing to overturn, over a century of their own decisions. In order to challenge this constitutional clause, the word “commerce” would have to be defined and proven, as to its original intention in 1789. The case must be presented to the U.S. Supreme Court and accepted to be heard. The legalese and statutory must be perfect. The attorneys arguing before the court must have perfect trial records. A majority of the Chief Justices must be willing to overturn their decisions and all those since 1789, with regards to the commerce clause.
  4. Convening a Constitutional Congress (Article V Convention or Convention to propose amendments if you prefer) will not work! It is time consuming. At least ²/³ of the states must all agree to apply to Congress for a convention. Once this occurs, Congress then is supposed to call for a convention. If they have not received the required number of applications and even if they have, Congress apparently believes it is their constitutional authority to accept or reject such applications. But if and when such a convention was to convene, there is no way in our present-day to control the outcome in the proposals chosen or the ratification by ¾ of the state Legislatures. From a practical standpoint alone, it is impossible to amend the 100’s and 1,000’s of laws not in the Constitution, affecting, effecting and infecting OUR republic. And such a convention does not address the principle cause, which is a corrupt, corrupting, and corruptible “system,” which would prevent or not allow it to proceed. Get rid of the “system” surrounding the process and then the process will work.
  5. Hope that the circumstances will change and OUR republic will be restored will not work! Things moving in one direction have the tendency of continuing to move in the same direction. An equal and opposite force would only stop the motion. Therefore, a greater and opposite force is required. Hope is for a future, based solely upon the actions of the past and the present.
  6. Hope that the ‘other’ party will get its act together will not work! Things moving in one direction have the tendency of continuing to move in the same direction. An equal and opposite force would only stop the motion. Therefore, a greater and opposite force is required. Hope is for a future, based solely upon the actions of the past and the present. Fear of voter reprisal may make some temporary changes, but it is not a person, persons or party that are solely responsible, it is a corrupt, corrupting and corruptible “system” that must be torn down and ripped out of OUR republic!
  7. Remaining divided and work for self, other causes, parties and candidates, will not work! While issues, methods and the qualifications of a person, persons or party may be important, if WE the People are divided, WE are divided. Any solution in order for it to be implemented requires an overwhelming majority of WE the People united, in order for OUR will to be recognized.
