Until the last few decades, the Constitution was held in relative reverence by the overwhelming majority of Americans, including the politicians and those seeking to become such. The basis of this reverence was the uniqeness and exceptionalism of that document and its obvious success at its purpose of promoting the standard of life and individual liberties apparent in America.
Due entirely to the greed and desire for more power by an ever increasing number of elected officials from all parties, legislation and court decisions meant to sidestep and corrupt the original meaning of the Constitution have been implemented and made law to the detriment of individual liberties and the sovereignty of the several states.
According to the tenth ammendment to the Constitution, powers not explicitly given to the federal government or prohibited to the states are retained by the states and/or the people. Any decision by that central government that would violate that ammendment is to be considered as invalid, null and void in effect and legality.
When the federal government violates the Constitution, that government itself being the result of the Constitution, the Constitution becomes invalid as pertains to that government. The Constitution, being a contract between the several states to unite in common need for specific advantages of a central government, is the creation of the several states and is susceptible to revision or cancellation only by its creators.
An equally exceptional founding document of the United States expresses the intent and purpose of those who united under the Constitution as being the establishment of a government that would derive its powers from the people and the recognition of the right of the people to alter or abolish that government if it became destructive to its purpose of securing the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Seeing that the states formed the federal government for their purposes and not vice versa, and seeing that that government has become destructive to its purpose, it is the duty of the several states to abolish and revise that government in such a way as to fill the needs for which it was created. Also recognizing that the usurpation of power by that government and its expansion is beyond any useful purposes to the people, no revision could cure all the ills inherent in it. It is, therefore, possible to retain our freedom and sovereignty as the people of America only in the complete abolishing of that federal union and its re-establishment according to the original Constitution, a "resetting" of the Constitution if you will.
Not only would such a reset abolish the present anti-American, anti-Constitution, socialist oligarchic administration, it would also render invalid and void the existence of all the bureaucracies and agencies invented by past administrations that violate the letter or intent of the Constitution, returning the people to a state of freedom and liberty unknown since the end of the 18th century.
It falls, then, to the several states, as the original parties to the union, to render such a return to the founding principles by a resolution of a majority of those states abolishing the present government and re-establishing the Constitution as the supreme law of the land. It is, though, our responsibility as the source of all governing power, to make it absolutely clear to our state legislatures that the time for such action has come by contacting the legislators and expressing as much, or by demanding they hold public meetings of their contituents to hear their voices on this matter. We need to impress upon them the need to join with other states in passing the same type of resolution nullifying the present government because of their violation of the Constitution. To fail in this responsibility is to give our tacet approval to the actions of the federal government and the road to ruin they are following.
This is not a single issue that a petition could be signed for, nor is it a controversial matter debated by the larger number of citizens. It is the single legal method by which the people can peacefully reassert their authority and constitutional law over the government. It is also the only method which could possibly garner the support of the US military.
If ever there has been a cause worthy, no, demanding of action by all citizens it is this. If you have never signed a petition or answered poll questions, if you are democrat, republican, or independant, if you believe in the greatness of an America under the law of the Constitution and the liberties it insures, it is your duty to make your authority known to those who can act on your behalf. It is the only peaceful recourse available.
Call your state representitives and senators. Make the necessity of state action against the federal government as the top priority known to them. Then write them a letter expressing the same sentiment. Make sure you do what is required of you for the salvation of the American dream. It is your patriotic duty. Without action by us America is doomed. God bless and save America.
Sincerely,
Glenn Flowers
