Mr. President, Members of Congress, State and Local Officials - This is an open letter from WE THE PEOPLE. You remember us right?
WE THE PEOPLE draw your attention to the PRIVILEGE you have of serving as OUR representatives by OUR commission through the electoral process and the VALUE of the trust we place in you. We request from you only clarity, vigilance and prudence of purpose, thought and action with the discharge of your duties and the care and safe keeping of our treasured National Identity.
When did it become "Fashionable" to reject the notion of defending American Values?
When did we become negligent in standing together for what is RIGHT - When did we abdicate our responsibilities to do what is merely EXPEDIENT?
The following passage comes directly from the Virginia Bill of Rights - The first statement of rights and "American Values" on our new continent - These are the Ethos of our Community:
"That no free government, or the blessing of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue, and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles. That religion, or the duty which we owe to our CREATOR, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity,towards each other."
When we are willing to embrace diversity - we require the inclusion of "American Values" as allotment within the aggregate. Our practice of "Christian forbearance, love and charity towards one another is materially deficient of late.
WE THE PEOPLE are ashamed of the neglect, debasement, denigration and disregard for our fundamental values, rights, freedoms and the misappropriation of OUR money with which we entrust to you. We accredit you, OUR representatives in OUR government, with defending OUR freedoms, liberties and rights and the fundamental values that we hold dear.
These fundamental principles of "American Values" are:
- Freedom of Speech, Religion and Movement without undue burden from Government for all Americans.
- The ABSOLUTE RIGHT of Liberty in Thought and Deed within the Laws of God and Country.
- The RIGHT to acquire property through the sweat of our labor and the promotion of commerce and the ability to freely transfer property at will.
- The RIGHT to have our tax dollars entrusted to you spent with frugality, austerity and for purposes with which we as a Nation consent.
- The SECURITY of a National Border and the necessity of impenetrable borders to our National Identity.
- We have founded a Nation founded upon the principle of rule of law. It is fundamental to our existence. We expect that ALL individuals are bound by this principle equally and none is above it.
- We are a Nation of diverse cultures bound together in a single community through the embodiment within our National Identity belief in the inviolable rights listed above to which we commission you with defense.
With regard to the current issues before us of the porous nature of our borders, amnesty for individuals in violation of State and Federal laws, and the expense from the treasury in promotion of these illegitimate activities.
WE THE PEOPLE ask that you secure our borders from further breach by those who wish to defy the Federal Immigration or other laws.
WE THE PEOPLE believe that the disbursement of our tax dollars to promote violations of the current laws including the hiring of those residing in this country illegally, the dispensing of government services to these individuals or direct payments to these criminals by the
treasury is in violation of the principles of the proper execution of your duties and a violation of our trust.
WE THE PEOPLE firmly believe in just, adequate and proper immigration and full naturalization for all who willingly seek to come and abide within and contribute to our community. We understand that FREEDOM, LIBERTY, and EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW are principles that all men and women of the world desire for themselves and their posterity. We ask that you are prudent in your actions to promote policies and enact laws that protect OUR rights while we as a nation endeavor to reach out to those seeking to embrace the light of liberty for themselves and include them within our community.
WE THE PEOPLE request that our community is protected from those that seek to destroy or denigrate our laws, values and culture.
WE THE PEOPLE are a nation with a great diversity of colors woven into the fabric of our tapestry. These banners are not mere decoration, but are the standard that define us and bind us together as a community. God has used many different canvases, colors and variations in our physical adornments in the creation of our races. But this is not what defines us. We are not White, Brown, Black, or Yellow, nor are we Hispanic-American, Anglo-American, African-American, Indian-American, or any other hyphenated definition of identity which seeks to divide us.
We are AMERICAN. We are ONE people. We are ONE Chorus with many voices.
Our Chorus sings of Liberty, resonates with Freedom and cries out for Justice tempered with Equality, Vision and Forbearance.
You have within the duties with which you are empowered by US to further the purpose of our community. You also have it within your power, should you choose to do so, to neglect your duty, to breach your solemn oath to protect these virtues, and to show contempt for our values. We simply request that you choose to SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
This is your charter. This is your oath. This is your duty.
We ask that you simply follow through with your promise.
Sincerely,
