What It Means To Restore The Republic > >The Republic of the United States of America was established by the >Constitution as it was ratified by the last of the required number of >states (9) in 1789. It was a carefully defined government with strictly >limited powers. Those specific powers are listed in Article 1, Section 8. >There are 18 powers listed there, and no more. This is the extent of the >jurisdiction of the U.S. government. It has no jurisdiction to make laws >dealing with anything else. Number 1. gives the power to tax but strictly >limits taxes so as to deny an income tax. > >Article 1, Section 9 goes further to list the specific powers denied to >Congress. There are 8 of these. Number 4. provides that the government >cannot tax people directly. > >Then to be absolutely certain that the new government they had just set >up did not go beyond these powers and get into the lives and property >of its citizens, another set of restrictions was added in 1791called the Bill > >of Rights - the first ten amendments. Number 8 and number 9 specifically >recognize that all other rights and powers belong to the people and that >all powers not given to the federal government are reserved to the states >or to the people. The constitution does not give us our rights. We already >had full rights before the Constitution came into existence. > >It has no jurisdiction to make laws regarding education, health, welfare, >civil rights, discrimination, the environment, safety, holidays, monuments, >energy, or anything not listed in Article 1. Section 8. > >So how did we get the thousands of volumes and millions of pages of >federal laws and regulations that deal with virtually every aspect of our >lives and keep expanding with every session of Congress? > > >Well, that is a very long story involving a congress that always wanted >to increase its power and jurisdiction and a supreme court that eventually >ratified each power grab. There was a political reason and a social >rationale for every one of them. > >There were three supreme court decisions which essentially gutted the >constitutional jurisdictional limits and the last one, in 1933, stated that >congress could do anything it wanted to as long as it had a good reason. > >But it makes no difference how it happened, it has the appearance of >official approval and the silent assent of passage of time. The only >question today is how do we get rid of this government. > > How do we undo it? > >We can't just let it go on and on. The time has come to do something >about it. The confidence of the people in government is near zero for >those who know and care. The cost of government is out of control and >will become impossible to bear in the near future. The government has >got us entangled with the United Nations and other treaties which take >our sovereignty away from us. Government involvement in our day-to- >day lives has become unbearable. So what do we do? We restore the republic - >return to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, wipe every- >thing off, and start all over again with a clean slate. And this time, we >keep it straight! > >2. What Restoring The Republic Will Accomplish > >Everything you always wanted. I challenge you to name or state an issue >which will not be favorably resolved or favorably affected by restoring the >republic. > >The 16th Amendment (Income tax) will be instantly rescinded. The IRS will >be abolished. > >The United States of America will no longer be a party to the United >Nations. This treaty will be instantly revoked like all the others. It will >collapse without our financial and physical support. Does anyone care >what happens to it after we leave? The NWO will be stopped in its >tracks! The CFR and TLC will become gentlemen's clubs with meetings without a >purpose. > >The Federal Reserve will be abolished. No more fiat money controlled by >international banks. > >The EPA, OSHA, and all the other alphabet agencies will be instantly >abolished along with their rules and regulations. Millions of pages of >federal rules and regulations will instantly become just so much waste >paper. Are there any you want to keep? Millions of federal employees >will be looking for jobs. > >All other treaties will be canceled - The Panama Canal will be returned >to us, NATO and SEATO will have to stand on their own or be renego- >tiated, the Indians will have to grow up and become U.S. citizens like >everyone else, their reservations will be subject to the same laws as the >rest of the country. GATT and NAFTA will be revoked, and so on. Are >there any treaties you want to keep? > >Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board of Education, school prayer, flag-burning, >Miranda, Mapp, and all the other decisions expanding the rights of >criminals, special rights for homosexuals, civil rights, all other supreme >court decisions will be instantly reversed. Are there any you want to >keep? > >I am a lawyer and fully aware of all the decisions, and I do not know >of any that are worth keeping. Let's start all over and this time get it >straight! > >Most government and government-type lawyers will be out of work >because there will be no more federal laws authorizing suits on hundreds >of matters, and no courts to file them in. > >All cabinet departments will be abolished except Justice, Treasury, >Defense, and State. No more Departments of Education, Energy, >Interior, Agriculture, Human Services, Housing, Urban Development, >Transportation, Commerce. All the regulations that go with each >department will be instantly revoked. > >All federal gun laws will be revoked. The ATF will be abolished along >with the FBI and all other federal law enforcement apparatus including >federal crimes. The states will regain their rightful exclusive power over >criminal laws and criminals. > >All migrants will be stopped at the borders. All illegals will be deported. >The privilege of becoming an American citizen will be granted only to >those who first become Americans. The laws granting citizenship to >millions of illegals will be rescinded instantly. These will be deported >also. > >3. The Process for Restoring The Republic > >Is this just a pipe dream? Can it really happen? Will it really happen? > >This country was founded and we declared our independence and we >established our constitution and set up our government on the basis of >an impossible dream - that a nation of people could work together in >peace and freedom and govern themselves and protect themselves and >their property and keep it going for two hundred years! It was impossible >in 1774. > >Most of the people in the U.S. thought it was impossible and impractical. >It would never work. The rest of the world did not believe it could be >done. The richest and most powerful nation in the world was determined >that it would not happen. But it did. > >There was no United Nations to which we could appeal. We just appealed >to our God as the supreme judge of the world to decide our case, and >he decided in our favor! > >Today in 1997 we must use this same approach and process to once >again dissolve our ties to a corrupt and despotic government - the federal >government - and re-start our government using the same Constitution >and Bill of Rights which has worked so well when we obeyed it and >defended it. > >An impossible dream? Of course! But one we can make reality - again! > > Restore The Republic!!! > >It is estimated that in 1776 only about 40% of the population even knew >about the Declaration of Independence, few understood it, and very few >ACTUALLY supported it and would have signed it. It meant giving up all >their cherished family connections to England, their security, their >business connections, their loyalty to a government they had known for >generations. Why should they give all that up - for a pipe dream? > >After the Declaration was signed and published, thousands moved to >Canada to stay under British rule. Those who stayed in this country and >openly supported the new nation were guilty of TREASON - a hanging offense! >Not even a trial! But they did it. Somehow. I believe a lot of them >simply waited until they knew we would win the war and then came >along later. That's o.k. > >The same things will happen between now and 2001. Some will call it >siliy or foolish. Some will not be willing to give up their federal con- >nections - jobs, social security, political connections, business contracts, >etc. Some will hang back waiting to see if we really succeed in restoring >the republic before they commit. Some will leave the country. Some >will predict dire disaster. The liberals and socialists will be ouyraged at >the prospect of losing all the ground they have gained since 1933 in >academia, government, the courts, the congress, the bureaucracies. > >Here comes the hard part: Here's what we have to do to accomplish >restoring the republic. Just as the founders did in 1776. > >It has to happen in a short time - a few years to give everyone the >opportunity to commit. It's not easy signing a paper and taking your >future in your hands. It will take some education and some organization >to get it done. > >No government shall play any role in the process. If any local, state, >or the federal government has a role, it can be aborted or delayed or >diverted. No local election commissions, no state legislatures to select >delegates, ratify, or hold conventions on anything, no federal government >with lawyers to confound and stupefy and compound and confuse. No congress to >debate and do any of the things they do. No lawyers at all, >in government or in private practice. It will be the people with their >total power as stated in the Declaration of Independence. > > If the people do it, it is done. > Only God can intervene. > >There are three legal mechanisms which must be invoked: > > 1. The ties to the existing government must be cut - a declaration of > independence. This can begin immediately and will grow at a > geometric rate as 2001 approaches. > > 2. The existing government must be abolished by revoking its power. > This involves a reverse constitutional convention with delegates > elected by their constituents to do only two things - > > 1) Unanimously revoke the U.S. Constitution thereby revoking > and rescinding all power and all laws, regulations, treaties, > regulations, etc. enacted through this power, and > 2) Unanimously ratify the old Constitution and Bill of Rights just as > > it was in 1789. > > The delegate selection process is described in my book. Through > these delegates the people express their will and exercise their > power. We cannot use delegates elected by the political parties and > the government process. The delegate selection and the reverse > convention must be free of all government interference. It must be > the people doing it for themselves. > > 3. At the same instant that the power of the existing government is > revoked, the power of the U.S. Constitution is granted to the new > government which is to be formed by newly elected officials.
