THE REDECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

When the people of a nation determine that the governmental officials they have elected have become inadequate, incompetent, or unwilling to perform the work for which they were elected, it is the responsibility of the people to, out of decency and with all courtesy, inform those officials as to the particular reasons why the people now choose to disassocite themselves from them and seek their removal from office and prosecution for high crimes, as is their right guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States.

We, the People of the United States, recognize the Constitution as the only true law of this nation and are, thereby, legally endowed with the power and responsibilty to assure that our rights both God given and under the law, specifically the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, are not usurped, limited, or modified in such manner as to alienate the people from those self-evident, divinely endowed rights. In the business of securing those rights we faithfully and sincerely elected you from those among us who proclaimed their desire to represent us and to take our hopes, wishes, and concerns as their mandate and be one among the many comprising the elements of a government of the People, by the People, and for the People. It was with your sworn oath to uphold the Constitution that we consented to grant you our power to govern ourselves and to trust in you to act in our best interests. We have, though, always retained the right to alter or abolish that consent and to institute a new government, even if of a different form and foundation, with the principals and powers as we determine necessary to insure our safety and happiness.

We have not come to this decision through impudence or haste but have chosen to suffer, for a sufferable time, the evils wrought rather than rush to hasty and ill conceived actions. But it is all too obvious that the long practiced abuses and usurpations you have pursued are designed and intended to reduce, under absolute despotism, those who placed with you their trust and futures. It is this need for such long suffering that has now become the necessity which constrains us to make such serious and mandatory reform.

The history of both the House of Representitves and the Senate is one wrought with deception, larceny, coercion, perjury, treason, and collusion, all to one purpose: to impose upon the People a state of tyranny and absolute control over every aspect of their lives and liberties. The following is a list of facts that have been confirmed and stipulated to by the People who are the ultimate power and authority having jurisdiction over you.

Congress has passed legislation that limits the ability of the People to determine for themselves what policies they see necessary and wholesome for the good of the People. This includes legislation banning the open display of religious belief, limitations on the ability to bring grievances before Congress, imposition of unecessary and harmful taxes, prohibition of the use of publicly owned natural resources causing extremely high prices, dependence on foreign sources, and forcing, through related legislation, involuntary investments in unproven, technically questionable industry, engaged in personality of false, frivilous, self-serving accusations against an incumbent president, his staff, and appointees, refused to perform the duties ascribed to them by the Constitution to hold confirmation sessions for appoimtees to federal agencies and international organizations, or for international agreements on trade, made abitrary rules changes designed to circumvent their responsibilities and to delay votes until elections on the hope their numbers would increase causing votes to result in their own interests, lied to the public regarding the cause and effect of technology misunderstood and misrepresented, and in general, sought to purposely cause harm to and deprive the People of their rights.

Congress has refused to pass laws that would insure the safety and happiness of the People and, instead, have sought to increase the risk to our nation. Their refusal to act includes the total disregard for the illegal influx of millions of foreign nationals, failure to enact effective border security legislation and failure to provide adequate funding for existing forces, refused to enact or support existing policies intended to gather security intelligence vital to the success of approved military operations, failed to allocate funding necessary for the safety and effectiveness of our armed forces in said conflict, and in general, refused to develop or enact any legislation to support or enhance the reputation and international standing of the USA in any form.

Congress has engaged in fraud and collusion by holding hearings, investigations, depositions, closed meetings, inviting those whose authority is questionable to act as expert consultants on subjects of great importance to the People, and have published false and exaggerated findings designed to fool and confuse the People to implement their own personally beneficial policies of treason and felony.

Congress has thrown the hard earned wealth of the People into myriads of trash bin expenditures, earmarks, bribes, payoffs, and phony investments thereby causing the overall diminishing of the People’s ability to prosper. In addition, members of congress have been found accepting and offering bribes, illegal gratuities and expensive gifts and services, kickbacks on federal contracts, and phony expenditures destined to line their own pockets. In general, congress has proven themselves to be thieves of the People’s money to the point of arrogance and to harbor an indifference and adversarial mentality toward the People. If there were found an incorrupted newcomer to congress it is understood that he be taught the ways and means of congressional embezzlement or be relegated to a position of no concern.

Congress has, at every possibility, sought to increase the size, influence, and cost of government by erecting multitudes of new federal regulatory offices, empowering them with unconstitutional powers of search and seizure with no warrant or presumption of innocence, mandated the distribution of the People’s money as aid to illegal immigrants, repealed essential financial stimuli meant to encourage profitable industry, employed inefficient, dishonest contractors under the false purpose of racial inclusion, and, in general have spent and wasted evermore increasing amounts of the financial fruit of the labor of the People.

In summation, Congress has not only failed to do the good and honest work the People as expected, but have intentionally endeavored to deprive the People of their rights, wealth, security, dignity, and their very lives. They have become the antithesists of representitves of the People, preferring to consider the People their own flock of wooly sheep knowing that, by entrusting them with our right to self determination, they procure for themselves a constantly abundant supply of valuable, comfortable wool ready for the fleecing.

In every way possible and at every opportunity we the People have made our concerns known and have given every possibility for them to change their course and follow the path of a wealthy, intelligent, self determined constituency. There has been no lack of warnings, pleadings, and appeals. We have tried to remind congress of the successes and accomplishments of our nation. We have appealed to them on a personal and patriotic level, only to be ignored. Because of this, we find ourselves in the proverbial corner, pushed beyond all acceptible boundaries onto the path we now must take.

Therefore, we the People, in accordance with the Constitution and the responsibility demanded of us in the original Declaration of Independence, hereby notify you, the members of congress, of our intent to separate ourselves from your jurisdiction unto the sovereignty of the states, to become effective immediately, and we withold the right to, at some future date of our choosing, pursue a more suitable and deserved action against each member, civil or criminal, as we might determine just. You are no longer recognized by the People as having any authority as a member of Congress. You are, therefore, rendered unemployed. You are advised not to leave the borders or jurisdiction of the United States and to make your location known at all times, or be considered fugitives from justice.

Furthermore, we the People declare our support and allegiance to this Redeclaration of Independence, with a devout reliance on the protection of a divine providence, and pledge our Lives, Fortunes, and sacred Honor to each other collectively as We the People.

The people of the USA are all angry and totally fed up with the actions of Congress. The approval rating for Congress has dropped to 11% while Geoge W. Bush’s rating has climbed to 30%. Still, the majority members in both houses keep blaming our current woes on the failed policies of the Bush administration.

We all know that the overwhelming cause for the high cost of fuel and everything that depends on fuel is the scarce supply. We also know that if the oil companies in America were allowed to explore for and produce those resources we know to exist within our borders, the increased supply on the world market would push prices down and that would cause a reduction in price in the markets as a whole. We know who it is that has been the biggest factor in the severe reduction in America’s oil production in recent years. We know that Congress routinely votes themselves pay raises, seldom acts in the best interest of the people, and spends a lot of time on subjects they should not be involved in. The democrat majority has accomplished nothing since the last election except to deepen the financial crunch the people find themselves in, and the republicans have just sat back and done nothing substantial to help the people. Both sides in both houses of Congress are equally to blame for the state of America today and the majority of Americans from all parties are looking for a way for the people to assert their constitutional authority over their out of control government. Well, there is only one way by which the people of America can control Congress, and that is voting on election day.

But just voting isn’t going to do anything. The people of America have to realize that the politicians have created and promoted the division between the two parties in order to keep Americans from agreeing with voters from the opposite party and voting for common policies that would cause real change in the way congress operates. We have been made to believe that Democrat and Republican voters have nothing in common and are opposite in their views of what America should be. This is a false notion used to keep voters from uniting and demanding Congress respond to the will of the people. All statistics from every source show that just over 60% of registered voters in America hold a view of America that is center to just right of center. Very few are far right or far left. This means that most Americans agree with each other on what needs to be done for America to remain strong politically, militarily, and economically.

Knowing that most Americans are disgusted with a greedy, non-responsive Congress, and knowing that the majority of Americans agree on what America should be, and knowing that the only means we have of changing our government for the better is to vote, the following conclusion is logical, obvious, and a sound method to affect the change needed.

We, the People, the common voting citizens who believe it necessary to change the way Congress operates, need to agree that we all want what is best for America and her people and then decide to replace every member of Congress in both houses and of both parties by not voting for the re-election of any present member, but to vote for a non-incumbent, preferably non-politician for every seat in the senate and house of representitives in every election until no member exists with more than one term in office. This will effectively destroy the long time good ole’ boy cliques and elite power holders who have lost touch with the people they were elected to represent. It will put into power a group of more motivated people who will be more representitive of the people than of their own interests. Seeing the manner in which they were elected over the more famous and powerful career politicians will be a message to them that we, the People still hold the power over the government and that knowledge will tend to make them more willing to do what is in the best interests of Americans.

This is the only effective power we still hold as citizens, and it can only be effective if we all unite in a majority block for a single purpose and vote for a single result. The old patriotic truth of "United we stand, divided we fall," applies directly to the common voting people of America. Only by each voter deciding to vote for a new congress will this change take place. There is no need to vote for a candidate from a party other than yours, or to compromise your political ideals. There is only the need to vote for a candidate who is NOT already a member. No re-elections is our goal. We all know this is needed, we all know we have the means to make it happen. Let’s all, Democrats and Republicans, Independants and Libertarians, resolve to make the change that will return our government to our control.

Make the decision to elect a new congress. Tell your friends we can make a difference if we all vote to replace the corrupt congress in power. It requires only that we all agree as to what the problem is, and agree that this action will, at least, rid us of the entrenched fat cat politicians who have created the problems we all face. If the new congress is ineffective, we can replace them just as easily. At least we won’t have the thieves and liars in power that we have now, and that is a major improvement anyone would welcome.

I hope the simplicity and urgency of this action is understood by all Americans. We can do this if we all use our voting power.

As early as 1954 the state of California realized that automobile emissions were the source of air quality deterioration. By the early 60s automotive engineers and the Department of Motor Vehicles had enough research results to implement emission controls on all vehicles, new and used. Their goal was to achieve substantial reductions in targeted pollutants with the ideal result being auto exhaust that consisted of only carbon dioxide and water vapor, both proven to be naturally occurring and non-toxic. Of course, this ideal result could not be attained, but it was the goal California would strive for. The targeted pollutants which were the culprits in formation of smog and suspects in the depletion of the ozone layer were carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), total photochemical oxidants (TPO), total suspended particles (TSP), hydrocarbons (HC), and lead (Pb). Eventually the hydrocarbons were dropped from the list, oxidants (TPO) was replaced by ground level ozone, and suspended particles (TSP) was replaced with a particulate matter (PM) standard.

What you don’t see in any of the standards for auto pollution control is a requirement to reduce carbon dioxide. In fact, at that time, carbon dioxide emission was listed as one of the favorable results being sought by the state as a method of cleaning the atmosphere of existing ozone and carbon monoxide. The climate experts throughout the state were of the opinion, and had demonstrated in repeated laboratory trials, that carbon dioxide was not only non-toxic and non-polluting, but was beneficial to the atmosphere, plant life, and climate. Since that time the CO2 levels in the atmosphere have risen from .0025 to .0033 percent, or 25 parts per million to 33 parts per million.

Today, the majority of climatologists agree that some small part of that rise is probably due to manmade causes, but the majority of that rise has been caused by the cyclic warming of the interglacial period we have been in for near 10,000 years. Yes, I said they agree that the rise in CO2 is caused by climate warming, not the other way around.

So why is the climate warming? Well, if you consider that around 10,000 years ago there were ice sheets three miles thick reaching all the way to the equator from both the arctic and antarctic poles, the only choice the climate had to go, temperature wise, was warmer. We are still in the interglacial warming period, but most scientists believe we are reaching the peak of global warming. In fact, for the past 12 years there has been a levelling off and even a slight decrease in average worldwide temperatures.

Over 33,000 scientists agree that a slight increase in temperature and CO2 is far and away a more desirable scenario than would be a plunge in temperature and the slide into the next glacial period. Even if an ice age were not imminent, it is a fact that all life on Earth benefits when the temperature is slightly warmer and CO2 levels slightly higher than the calculated averages of the past several million years. In 1816, the year following the eruption of Mt. Tambora, global temperatures fell dramatically causing crop killing freezes in May and June, lake and river ice as far south as Pennsylvania in July and August, and was known as the "Year Without a Summer". Agricultural failures led to starvation and a lowered state of immunity which resulted in death from disease.

Those folks who suffered through that year could have done with a bit more heat and CO2. Humans as a species have always prospered in warmer regions and periods as opposed to colder temperatures.

The climate change scare mongers claim a rise in CO2 is causing warming of the atmosphere in the range of about 0.4 to 1.5*C per century. What a puny heat wave that is. That won’t even cause you to break a sweat. They claim that rise is causing the ice sheets at the poles to melt. Satellite measurements show, though, that the ice sheets this year are already 12% larger than at this time last year. Polar bear populations have grown approximately 18% in the past decade, pollock has increased approximately 7% despite their status as the most commercially fished, and sea level continues to rise at a rate of 1-4 centimeters per year at specific locations. In other locations around the world sea level has actually dropped as much as 8-10 centimeters. NOAA scientists say that plate tectonics and wind have more effect on world wide sea level fluctuations than the melting of ice sheets would, if they were actually melting.

The bottom line to all this is we, as a nation and internationally as well, are being duped and forced into making drastic, VERY expensive, long term changes in almost every aspect of our lives in an attempt to prevent a slate of supposed disastrous, man made changes in Earth’s climate that are exagerated and fabricated and over which man has no control. Legislation of all kinds demand investment and research into unproven, high cost energy replacements, financial and even criminal penalties for causing CO2 emissions, industrial limitations on emissions of future production items, the forced banning of the production and usage of inexpensive, readily available, proven energy resources, and the enrichment of the fat cat proponents of such false climate change scare tactics to the detriment of every individual wage earner or business owner.

The Eath’s climate is a highly complex, ever changing machanism driven entirely by the heat from the sun. It has many, many subtle and evident subsystems which act to cool excessive heat and warm extreme cooling. No scientist who believes in the scientific method admits to understanding the vast workings of Earth’s climate, and they all agree that consensus of even 200 trillion scientists is not a method for validating or disproving anything. Only experimentation of a hypothesis with reproducable results, and validation of those results by observation of actual climate conditions can be used as valid reason for action. In other words, we don’t know enough about how the climate works to justify the extreme financial and social upheaval being demanded by a group of scientists, environmental extremists, and politicians who have a great deal to gain from such drastic changes. It is just not ethical to cause such harm and suffering over what amounts to fables and myths. We must vote in a totally new Congress and convince the new members to reverse the policies and legislation enacted in an attempt to control the climate.

I know you are a very smart person and, therefore, can not truly believe the policies you are forcing on the people of America are in their best interests. Therefore, you must be aware that these policies are harming Americans but are oursuing their implementation, by decree, in spite of that harm. That is in violation of the oath of office you swore to and in violation of the Constitution.

Are you aware that you and Sen. Harry Reid have become the two most hated politicians in the USA? You have to be. Even your democratic constituents are crying out for you to allow drilling of our natural resources that are currently blocked by a law Congress passed. You fellow representitives even see the need for this action yet you continue to act as a dictatorial madwoman, bending and breaking House rules, and making them up as you see fit to prevent even the debate over your energy non-policies.

You and Mr. Reid are personally responsible for considerably lowering the standard of living of the people, causing the evaporation of savings and investments accumulated by the people, the high prices of everything that has any link to petroleum including food, transportation, electrical power, health care, and corporate viability. If it is found that any of the people who have perished in the heatwave in Texas had to forego paying power bills to buy food and gasoline, a very good case for you being criminall responsible for those lives lost could, and should be made.

You are acting in a manner that is directly opposite to what you swore to in your oath and that is a crime. You have caused serious, if not irreperable harm to the people and commerce of the USA. That is a crime. It is possible that you have caused the untimely deaths of people and that is a crime. I predict that as soon as you are no longer in office that prosecution will be sought against you and Mr. Reid. So why not make it easier on yourself and especially the American people and come down of your throne and do the will of the People. EVERYONE knows what that is.

The reasons we have such an unresponsive, corrupt congress are…

1. 40-50% of voters don’t even vote.
2. While giving very low approval ratings, (11% or lower) voters have a habit of re-electing their incumbent members 96.5% of the time since 1980, and 92% before that.
3. Too many voters from both sides choose to believe the divisive lies told by elected officials meant to keep us from uniting with a majority of votes, and blame the other party’s voters, resort to name calling, and divide the People.
4. Many voters are single-issue minded. This makes them easy to manipulate and more likely not to vote.

We must STOP THE REPEAT OFFENDERS by not re-electing any of the incumbent members of Congress. It is OUR fault, Democrat and Republican voters, that these crooks have had 20 and 30 years in Congress to do their dirty work and become so arrogant. The longer we put this off, the longer it will take and the more painful it will be on us when we do decide to retake our government.

I have written on the need to purge Congress by voting out all incumbents, and, more recently, about the Article Five Convention and Congress’ ignoring of their duty to call for a convention. It is our duty as Americans to vote out the incumbents and vote in a new congress. We are the only ones who can do that.

These two tools, the vote of the People, and a convention for states to propose ammendments, are all we, the People have to influence government. It is obvious that Congress will continue to ignore their duty no matter by how many states request an Article Five Convention as they have for over 200 years. So, it becomes even more imperative to use our vote in the most drastic method we can to cause the drastic change needed. It was accomplished in 1938 resulting in a 60% turnover in members of Congress. We can do even better with the current attitude of the American voters. We must do better or lose our rights and our nation.

Voting out the incumbent congress members does not require any voter to change their party or belief, it does not require any new process. It only requires us to not re-elect any current member of Congress every two years for the next six years. Once Congress is purged of those who have made a life out of fleecing America, the new members will be more likely to actually call for a convention when the states ask for one. This will allow the states and their voters to undo a lot of what has been done by Congress. This will, again, bring the differences between the various parties into play, but with a congress that is receptive and new to the world of politics, in other words, still relatively uncorrupted.

Tell everyone you know to vote them ALL out.  Make it clear it is crucial to our nation to get a new breed of representitive who is ready to do our business in Washington. These are the items all Americans have in common, disgust with government, love for America, and the ability to vote in new members to replace the lifers.

Voters, REVOLT ! ! Vote ALL the bums out ! ! It's the only way we have.

That is, word for word, Article Five of the Constitution. This article was the tool given to the People to allow them to ammend the Constitution or to replace it or the entire goverment if they found it necessary. It states that if two thirds of the states file applications for a convention, Congress must hold a convention for the purposes of the states. The applications from the states do not have to be all for the same reasons, and regardless of the reasons it is mandatory that Congress hold the convention . 

Since 1789, there have been 576 applications filed by fifty states in the attempt to keep Congress in check, repeal income taxes, and propose ammendments, yet there has never been a single convention held. Why? Because Congress has simply refused to recognize the applications and ignore their duty to hold a convention. This has prevented the people from having any over Congress except at the voting booth. See a complete list of applications for conventions filed by state, date, and reasons here…

See the listings, summaries, and legal questions about eighteen actions taken from 1803 to 2006 against Congress by states, individuals, companies, and politicians, including an appeal to the Supreme Court, trying to force an Art 5 convention by Congress. None have ever succeeded.

The founder of the Friends of Art V Convention website is Bill Walker, the plaintiff in the two most recent suits against Congress. There are videos and audio files, PDFs and charts and tables documenting the entire battle over the rights of the people to govern themselves. It is fascinating and very educational, not to mention the inspiration gained by Walker’s tenacity and patriotism.
