A Patriotic Petition of Grievances
May 16, 2009
The Executive Administration and Legislative Branch, which has subordinated itself to the Administration, have created genuine cause for alarm among the People undermining the Rights to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them. Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to petition the Government for Redress in the most humble terms and to declare the causes which impel them to such petition.
The Administration has absorbed and continues to absorb ownership of large segments of the private Sector denying rightful owners their protection under the law and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.
The Administration dominates the Executive and Legislative branches and is preparing to control the Judiciary as well and, in violation of the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution has subjected the States to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving its Assent to their Orders and Acts of pretended Legislation.
The Administration threatens to deny the People the right to keep and bear arms in the defense of their homes, farms, shops and businesses.
The Administration has declared itself hostile to unborn innocents and subordinated the Rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness endowed on these citizens by the Almighty Architect of the Universe in the name of the comparably trivial values of convenience and choice.
The Administration is draining the Treasury and securing unmanageable debt; the Burden of which will be carried on the backs of citizens not yet born rendering them slaves unrepresented in their heavy, inescapable yoke of taxation.
The Administration has excited unwarranted and baseless fear amongst us in order to propagate burdensome taxes on carbon released as a byproduct of the making of Energy that is the Engine of our Civilization; the resulting taxation yields no environmental benefit but will cause irreparable economic harm.
The Administration has subordinated the rights of classes of citizens to other classes and created thought crimes punishing citizens not for their actions, but for perceived feelings of hate thus denying citizens Equal Protection Under the Law.
The Administration has embraced and cajoled with foreign tyrants who call Americans part and partial to the “Great Satan” and who have referred to this nation as “the most savage, murderous empire in the history of the world.”
The Administration and its representatives have rendered unwarranted apologies while on foreign soil.
The Administration has released secret documents that will inflame the passions of our Enemies and increase the danger faced by Citizens, Soldiers and Sailors abroad.
The Administration has, at a time of war and unprecedented government spending, reduced support for many projects of National Defense necessary for protection against Savages whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
We the People request that further attempts by the Administration and National Legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over the states be ended. We reminded them of the circumstances of the Founding and of the ordination and establishment of the Constitution establishing limits on the Powers of the Federal Government. We appeal to their native justice and magnanimity, and conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations. We pray that they do not render themselves deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity; and that government be returned to its legitimate Roles and Powers as enumerated in the Constitution.

In a time when the ideas of an Orwellian society become more and more a reality everyday,
When children are murdered but forests are saved, what does it take for one to step back and realize that something isn’t right.
To realize that WE (ARE) THE PEOPLE?
Great article, thanks for sharing!

libertatem defendimus!
R.D.: here’s a good poem I think you already know…
Liberty Tree
By Thomas Paine
1737.1.29 – 1809.6.8
————————————————————————–
A Song written early in the American Revolution.
Tune: The gods of Greece.
In a chariot of light, form the regions of the day,
The Goddess of Liberty came,
Ten thousand celestials directed her way,
And hither conducted the dame.
A fair budding branch from the gardens above,
Where millions with millions agree,
She brought in her hand as a pledge of her love,
And the plant she named Liberty Tree.
The celestial exotic stuck deep in the ground,
Like a native it flourished and bore;
The fame of its fruit drew the nations around,
To seek out this peaceable shore.
Unmindful of names or distinctions they came,
For freemen like brothers agree;
With one spirit endued, they one friendship pursued,
And their temple was Liberty Tree.
Beneath this fair tree, like the patriarchs of old,
Their bread in contentment they ate,
Unvexed with the troubles of silver or gold,
The cares of the grand and the great.
With timber and tar they Old England supplied,
And supported her power on the sea;
Her battles they fought, without getting a groat,
For the honor of Liberty Tree.
But hear, O ye swains (is a tale most profane),
How all the tyrannical powers,
Kings, Commons and Lords, are uniting amain
To cut down this guardian of ours.
From the East to the West blow the trumpet to arms,
Through the land let the sound of it flee;
Let the far and the near all unite with a cheer,
In defense of our Liberty Tree.
(MaoBama wants to be remembered as the president who cut down Liberty Tree — libertatum defendimus —-sign me up!)

Why aren’t there people standing with these petitions at Walmart like the lefties? I propose some organization and let’s get this traiter some call president out of the white house once and for all. Another problem, it will mean removing quite a few people from office before a satisfactory succesor can be found.
