Freedom Alert Letter - June 2009
A CAMPAIGN FOR FREEDOM.
The Independent American Party through the Committee
of Correspondence has organized a campaign to positively influence
Congress toward more pro-Freedom votes. Most members of Congress are
not strongly motivated by the issues of the day. They are, however,
strongly motivated by their desire to get reelected.
Their reelection is achieved by influencing the voters back home by
principled votes, or by accepting enough special interest money to buy the
name recognition required to swing the election. Buying name
recognition with special interest money is the easiest approach to
reelection and the one chosen by most in Congress. This is why the
average member of Congress represents the Washington thought pattern to the
home district, rather than the home district's interests to Washington.
"The Constitution for the United States of America was established as
an inspired ensign and standard of liberty for all. It is the only
constitution based foremost upon the rights and liberties of a free and
independent people who are superior to government, having government as
their servant rather than as their master. We revere the founding
documents of America, honor the men who framed them, and ascribe all honor
and glory to the God who inspired them. We claim, second to
worshiping God, that our greatest responsibility as Americans is vigilance
in protecting our God-given Constitution and rights, both for ourselves
and our posterity.
We assert that we are in a Constitutional crisis. The major
provisions of the Constitution are being compromised and our God-given
rights are being intruded upon or eliminated at an alarming rate.
Our educational, economic, social, and political institutions are becoming
more perverted. The rights and nature of our national sovereignty,
Judeo-Christian heritage, and traditional family, are under escalating
attack. We solemnly declare that our Constitution, liberties, and
national sovereignty currently hang by a thread. We assert
that institutionalized corruption and the loss of our rights and
liberties are unconstitutional, unacceptable and inexcusable.
We claim that our Constitutional Republic can still be fully restored
by lawful means, but only to the extent that We The People stand united
and vigilant, as never before, in the cause of freedom.
'The people [not government]... are the only sure reliance for the
preservation of our liberty.' Thomas Jefferson"
(Underscores added for emphasis)
The
forces of totalitarianism are attacking our basic Freedoms and principles
enumerated in the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and our
Constitution. We are now embroiled in a desperate
battle with these forces to retain Freedoms bequeathed to us by the
Founders.
I am convinced that we shall be victorious in retaining our
Freedom and defeating the elitist organizations that have control of our
governmental process. The Spirit of Freedom is moving in mighty power
among the people in our nation. The great majority of
Americans still believe in the basic concepts of limited government and
Freedom for all people. There are literally
thousands of groups springing up now all across America dedicated to
defending Freedom in one area or another. I quote from Richard Paul
Evans in his book “The Letter”:
“It is often during the worst of times
that we see the best of humanity – awakening within the most ordinary of
us that which is most sublime. I do not believe that it is the
circumstances that produce such greatness anymore than it is the canvas
that makes the artist. Adversity merely presents the surface on which
we render our souls' most exacting likeness. It is in the darkest skies
that the stars are best seen.“
The greatness he speaks about lies within all of
us. Our potentials are largely untapped. Let us
therefore go forward in this epic endeavor to preserve Freedom and
exercise the leadership that Americans expect and deserve. To paraphrase
a statement made by Sir Winston Churchill in the dark days of the Battle
of Britain,
“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties,
and so bear ourselves that, looking back on our victory, generations yet
unborn will say, 'This was Freedom's finest hour!”

Do your Congressmen keep their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution?
Please
take eight and a half minutes out of your life to watch and listen to this
message. It seems like only Drs. Tom
Coburn and Ron Paul are willing to do their duty. Will you do yours, and
hold your Senators and Representative accountable?
Senator Tom Coburn (physician), Republican from Oklahoma forcefully told
the U.S. Senate that they, and presidents of both parties had violated
their oaths by passing unconstitutional laws that were destroying our
country. Without saying so, he called them traitors.
PLEASE
watch the following video because you will never see it or read about it
in the media.
How did your Congressional leaders vote as compared to the principles
and law of the Constitution and Bill of Rights? Go to this web
site and download the .pdf file to learn how your leaders voted.
Let them know how you feel about it.
Please pass this along

Letter to the Editor:
The Wall Street Bailout is the largest
transfer of wealth from the American Taxpayer to special banking interests
in the history of our nation. The Treasury Secretary, Mr. Paulson, has
complete control of where the money goes and there is absolutely no
oversight. What is to stop him from giving money to his Wall Street and
Chinese banking cronies for favors or payments from them?
The voting record on the Bailout is as
follows:
Senator A voted --- Bailout.
Senator B voted --- Bailout.
Representative X voted --- Bailout.
Those who voted against Bailout are to be
congratulated.
Those who voted for Bailout should never
be trusted with public office again. Whether they were threatened,
blackmailed, or bribed, they may not be trusted to represent us in the
future.
Vote against
anyone who voted for Bailout including Obama and McCain!
Prayer
During the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin (at 81 years old)
made his famous plea for prayer:
"In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of
danger, we had daily prayers in this room for divine protection. Our
prayers, sir, were heard; and they were graciously answered. All of us who
were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a
superintending Providence in our favor. To that kind Providence we owe
this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing
our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful
Friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need [His] assistance? I have
lived, sir, a long time; and the longer I live the more convincing proofs
I see of this truth -- that God governs in the affairs of men. ...."
ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT
In
WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of peoplewho dropped what they
were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one
minute to collectively pray for the safety of
England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing
stopped.
There is now a group of people organizing the same
thing here in America.
If you would like to participate:
each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time
(8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain,
6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying
for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens and for
peace in the world.
If you know anyone who would like to participate,
please pass this along.
Someone said if people
really understood the full extent of the power we
have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
Thank
You. Please pass this on to anyone who you think will follow thru.

ignorant and free expects what never was and never will be." Thomas

THE COMMITTEE OF
CORRESPONDENCE
A PLAN TO PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM
June 17, 2008
In the next few months there will be several issues for
which support in Congress should be mobilized. Among these are:
defeat of amnesty or citizenship for illegals,
defeat of United States integration with Canada and
Mexico,
reining in the maverick 9th District Court
in San Francisco,
and stopping the dilution of the Bill of
Rights Freedoms by Legislation or Executive Order.
We have a plan to mobilize support in Congress through a program of
constituent activity
(this means we need you!) Please study this plan and if
you agree with it, join with us in mobilizing the support in Congress that
is already there to preserve our Freedom.
Our organization is funded by donations from good people like
yourself. Please consider donating to help defray costs.
We also ask our members to donate at least $1.00 annually.

Apathy and ignorance are KILLING America.
We need to learn what our Founders
knew and maintain the same principles in our day. Otherwise,
our Constitution and way of life will be taken away from us.
We need to better understand the principle
and purpose of the
separation of powers.
Our Founders discovered how to provide for freedom of the people and
at the same time to allow the government enough power to protect our
rights and opportunities. However, the pendulum has been allowed
to swing off center. We need to reign in the abuse and neglect
of our Constitutional Republic before it is too late.
In today's frantic search for a cure
to the global recession, we find the following from the past:
Economist John Maynard Keynes stated
boldly the dangers that lurk if politicians take their power over money
creation too far. He said,
"There is no
subtler, no surer way of overturning the existing basis of society than to
debauch the currency".
(To "debauch" means to debase,
vitiate, corrupt, deprave, pervert, devalue, etc.). Currency, or money
is the basis upon which our economy runs. Thus, the basis of society
is being torn down and destroyed as we watch.
WND's magnetic bumper stickers are perfect not only for your car, but for
your refrigerator, file cabinet -- any magnetic surface where you would like
to take a stand.
The focus of most third parties is on
getting a proper President elected. Since both parties are controlled by
the eastern establishment, should a third party gain national presence that
establishment would attempt control of it as well.
We have formed a nationwide Activist Network called the
Committee of
Correspondence. The purpose of this Committee is to
positively influence Congress on Freedom issues. We choose the issues
upon which there is a broad base of support from the American people.
We have tested this program for over three years and it works very well.
