Calling all Experienced Patriots!

"If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will be in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel Adams 1776

Hummm...

"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear, kept us in a

continuous stampede of patriotic fervor, with the cry of grave national

emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some

monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not

blindly rally behind it."

 

General Douglas MacArthur

Prophetic...

Circa 1787~  Lord Macauley, the English historian, after a careful study of our government and our Constitution warned the American people:

"Your Constitution is all sail and no anchor. Either Caesar or Napoleon will seize the reins of government with a strong hand, or your Republic will be as fearfully plundered and laid waste by the barbarians in the twentieth century as the Roman Empire was in the fifth - with this difference, that the Huns and Vandals who ravaged the Roman Empire came from without, and your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your own country by your own institutions."

Obama got his own private armed forces in the Health Care Bill...

This is a copy of the Senate bill that was approved Sunday night. Pg 1312 is the forces.

SEC. 430. ESTABLISHING A READY RESERVE CORPS.

Why I am running for Congress...

 

(View more in Catherine's Video Vault)

President of SEIU and Obama's most frequent visitor to the White House, Andy Stern, was recorded in an interview saying "We will use the power of persuasion and if that fails we will use the persuasion of power."

It has become blatantly obvious, with the outrageous and criminal persuasion of power that this administration has used against We the People, that we are in an undeclared war for the very heart and soul of our Free Republic.

My motive in running for Congress is understanding that we are in a two-fisted-bare-knuckled-knock-down-drag-out contest for the restoration and preservation of our nation.

Thus, I stand for the following:

1. Restore morals, ethics, and respect in Congress: My primary motivation and my passionate resolve are to hold every elected official, in every branch of government, accountable to their Sacred Oath of Office to uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. The betrayal of that Sacred Oath is what has led us to the Constitutional crisis that we are in today. To falsely take this oath is perjury, a crime in itself. To so blatantly violate this oath is treason.*

The Department of Justice, as well as those in office who have born witness to these crimes, has become complicit in them by virtue of the fact that they have not pursued indictments against anyone in recent history committing them. The violation of the Oath of Office reaches the highest Office in the land. Every crime against our Constitution is a crime against We the People and the protection of our God given liberties inherent in that Bastion of Liberty. This blatant usurpation of power must not go unpunished.

2. National Security: Illegal immigration puts at risk our national security. It defrauds legal immigrants of their rightful acceptance as U.S. citizens. It clouds the public perception of the legal immigrant’s legitimacy. All attempts to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants must be rejected. Our Borders must be secured especially in light of the threat of allowing terrorists access through vast unguarded territory. Additionally, drug wars along the Mexican Border threaten the security of American lives and the stability of American communities within their reach.

Our troops in every branch of service deserve rock solid support for them and their families. No set of parents should be deployed overseas at the same time leaving a child without a parent. The policy of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell should remain in place to suppress homosexual activism in the military at the very least. And in any election year our military personnel should have the guarantee that they will receive their absentee ballots in a timely manner and every military ballot will be counted without fail.

Our servicemen on the battlefront should not be threatened by ludicrous protocols that tie their hands to effectively fight and win. No serviceman should have to second guess his decision to shoot or not to shoot worrying about the liability issues that could put him in a position to be prosecuted by our own courts if he guesses wrong. This is not to be confused with deliberate and conscious acts of murder or violence against innocent civilians.

3. Justice: It has been my experience in recent years that our judicial system has become fraught with corruption. Throughout this land prosecuting attorneys and other law enforcement agencies are granted unconstitutional immunities that encourage corruption through lack of accountability and the threat of prosecution. This must not stand. Additionally, the Obama Administration has granted immunity to Interpol to operate on our Sovereign soil against our Sovereign citizens. This is a betrayal of our Constitution and We the People. I consider this an aggression against our free Republic and a criminal act. We must consider the facts as they are presented to us, we are faced with the overwhelming evidence that we are in a fight for the very survival of our nation. All incumbents who have failed to use their positions of authority, and their commitments to their Sacred Oaths of Office, to uphold and defend the Constitution have proven that they are not fit to serve and, in fact, have contributed to the great crisis we find ourselves in today.

4. 2^ND Amendment: The 2^nd Amendment, while advantageous to those who love hunting and sports shooting, was clearly intended to guard against tyranny. “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in Government.” – Thomas Jefferson

5. Prolife: I am completely and utterly prolife from conception until natural death. I will vote to defund and overturn any and all pro-abortion legislation.

6. Responsible Fiscal Policy: No debt. Audit and dismantle the Federal Reserve. In regards to what should replace the Federal Reserve, obviously, we need to have a structure for the minting and management of our monies, but that power and responsibility should not be given over to a privately owned banking conglomerate that has absolutely no accountability to We the People. Also, we need to bring those persons to justice who have manipulated our economy and debt through fraud, bribery, and avarice. That would include, but not be limited to, every Senator and Congressman who has willingly betrayed their Sacred Oath of Office to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States by accepting bribes or in any way having been a party to it. Read: silence is consent.

Additionally, we must repeal the income tax. It is unconstitutional and its abuse of power has become legendary. A fair (consumption) tax would set every American free from the tedium of filing complicated tax returns and be true to our Declaration of Independence which declares that all men are created equal and should be treated as such. No one should be punished through confiscatory taxation for success while, conversely, rewarding sloth.

7. Education: Familial education choices must be Constitutionally protected. No Child Left Behind is a failed education policy. Children are taught to memorize answers as teachers are compelled to teach students to pass the test or face reprimands from an adminsration that is under pressure to produce results. School districts need the autonomy for parents to determine their own educational protocols. Children need to be taught how to think rather than what to think. We must reject anything that resembles indoctrination. Protecting the freedom of thought and belief is of paramount importance. That would in no way prohibit but rather encourage the teaching of our religious history and the inclusion of Biblical literature as it pertains to the Judeo-Christian Heritage of our Nation which is inescapable, in point of fact. Moral instruction is absolutely imperative to produce a moral society. We must adhere to and be faithful to uphold those principles that inspired the doctrine of American Exceptionalism, without apology. Those who object to such historically religious instruction protocols would be free to opt out or provide for their children’s education privately or at home. I absolutely stand for the right to homeschool your child without a college education or being forced to provide records of a family’s educational modus operandi to the state. To reiterate, We the People are the Sovereigns as identified and protected by our Constitution. The State’s responsibility is to protect our Sovereignty from itself and the federal government. Further, I would work to abolish the Department of Education, period.

8. Health Care: As per the Commonwealth of Virginia’s 10^th Amendment right to self determination, I support Attorney General Cuccinelli’s proactive response to rebuff this unequivocal usurpation of power by the Obama Administration. Further, as a Congressman, I would work to overturn this Marxist inspired legislation and hold those in this Administration who cooperated in the televised bribery of elected officials accountable through the Department of Justice as well as every Congressman and Senator that participated in it. In addition, I would also like to “out” those in this Administration that introduced, perpetrated, and promoted into law the notion of fines and imprisonment of Americans who would refuse to bow their knee to this Marxist régime. This and so many other legislative initiatives are a direct betrayal of each and every elected official’s Sacred Oath of Office and should be prosecuted as such.

9. Jobs: In regards to creating jobs it is not now, nor has it ever been, in the purview of government to create jobs. But it is in the purview and the responsibility of government to protect the people from unconstitutional overreaching and it’s tendencies to over regulate. The greatest job stimulus opportunity of our day is to allow access to the wealth of natural resources that our nation possesses. Here in Virginia we should be expanding development of nuclear electric plants. We should be accessing the vast oil reserves off of our coast. I would vote to support overturning the policies that have locked up millions of acres in the western states to development of oil, natural gas, and coal and return that Sovereign Authority to the States. The production of domestic energy, including renewable energy resources, will create jobs, stimulate our economy, and reduce our national and State deficits. We must deliver our nation from debts we do not owe and should not be forced to pay. We must not continue to buy energy resources from our enemies.

10. Transportation: Fees to maintain and develop our Commonwealth’s infrastructure must be collected within the constraints of our Commonwealth’s and National Constitutions to protect from abuses against We the People. Without a doubt, the policies of VDOT are typical bureaucracy, spending and allocation with no rhyme or reason. Perfectly good roads torn up and repaved while roadways severely damaged are left unrepaired. The Commonwealth of Virginia has got to restructure its spending policies to direct funds to where there is a verifiable need. Additionally, if funds collected through gasoline taxes are not sufficient to manage the vast road systems of Virginia we may need to consider privatizing roads. We may need to establish tolls. We may need to consider a variety of options including privatizing road and highway management/maintenance and leaving the contracting decisions up to each county or district. It is reasonable to expect that through revenues from domestic oil and gas exploration most, if not all, budget shortfalls can be averted. The bottom line is the Sovereignty of the Commonwealth of Virginia and all decisions that impact the same should be protected from the federal government’s manipulating influence. That includes among other things, the setting of speed limits.

11. Protect the Bay: Protection of the Chesapeake Bay would require enforcement of the spirit and the letter of laws already on the books. Ken Smith, President of the Waterman’s Association, has fought to identify source point pollutants and has lobbied the Commonwealth of Virginia to introduce and enforce regulations of those detrimental contributors. The federal government's job would be to let the Sovereign Commonwealth of Virginia and the neighboring States that impact the Bay negotiate their own environmental treaties for the common good between them.

Never, never, never, give up! Winston Churchill

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

– Samuel Adams

Urgent

We stand, at this moment in time, on the very precipice of the utter destruction of our Constitution. This bastion of liberty which secured our history as a free people is in a fight for its very life as it reels in an arena void of truth.

Those who have sworn a Sacred Oath of Office to defend and protect this single document and all that is inherent in it for the protection of our rights and liberties have betrayed their Oath and have demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that their intentions toward We the People are utterly malicious.

There is no hope in man. As our Founding Fathers did centuries ago so must we do now, appeal to the God of the Holy Bible.

“Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before you in abject humility confessing our corporate sins to you. We have slept while those who hate You and Your laws declared war on You and our beloved nation. We shrugged when prayer was stripped from our schools and the Holy Bible outlawed in our culture.

As we remember those who chose stoning, imprisonment, and death rather than deny You, we find ourselves ashamed that with very few exceptions we submitted without any resistance at all. We allowed this Shining City on a Hill to become putrid with the filth of lust, greed, and avarice.

It is unseemly, in light of our failures, to ask for yet more mercy, but ask we must. Help us O Lord our God. Help us.

We ask that You would reveal the secret plans of those that conspire against our beloved America.

We ask that You would expose the traps and wicked devises that have been laid to destroy our liberty and our system of justice.

We ask that You would turn the enemies of our nation against one another.

We ask that You would terrify all those who scheme in darkness with the light of Your eternal Truth and bring them to repentance.

Cause them to know of assurity that there is nothing hidden that shall not be made known.

We pray You bring all of those guilty of betraying our homeland to justice.

Further, we ask that those who know You will stand up and speak out unashamedly for righteousness sake.

We ask that You inspire them with courage and strength to do what is right in Your eyes.

In this desperate time of our nation’s history may we be found faithful to the generations yet to come as those who have gone before were faithful to those of us who were as yet unborn.

In the precious name of Your Most Holy Son, Jesus, we pray.

Amen”

A Friendly Reminder....

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. --

____________________

Such has been the patient sufferance of these several states; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present Obama Administration is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

John Adams told Abigail, after the very first meeting of the Founding Fathers, to read Psalm 35 because that is what inspired them all during their 4 hour Bible Study...

A Psalm of David

1 Plead my cause, O LORD, with them that strive with me: fight against them that fight against me.

2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for mine help.

3 Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that persecute me: say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.

4 Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt.

5 Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them.

6 Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

7 For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul.

8 Let destruction come upon him at unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself: into that very destruction let him fall.

9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD: it shall rejoice in his salvation.

10 All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto thee, which deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?

11 False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge things that I knew not.

12 They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.

13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into mine own bosom.

14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, my darling from the lions.

18 I will give thee thanks in the great congregation: I will praise thee among much people.

19 Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

20 For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.

21 Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me, and said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.

22 This thou hast seen, O LORD: keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.

23 Stir up thyself, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.

24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.

25 Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

26 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion together that rejoice at mine hurt: let them be clothed with shame and dishonour that magnify themselves against me.

27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness and of thy praise all the day long.

 

Amen

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”
