On October 25, 1760 George William Fredrick was anointed as King George III of England. Under his reign a number of restrictions and taxes were imposed on the America colonist. Their petitions for relief, sent to the King and Parlia­ment, fell on deaf ears. The freedom they held so dear was slowly being taken away and there was no way they were going to remain silent.  The Boston Tea Party, was carried out on the night of December 16, 1773 as a warning to the King and Parliament that the American Colonist had had enough.  They had tried the soap box and the jury box but to no avail. The only option left was the cartridge box. King George made the mistake of viewing these patriots as insignificant rabble.  When he still refused to listen to the voice of the people they resorted to the cartridge box and on April 19, 1775 the “Shot hear around the world” was fired in Concord, Massachusetts. The Americans colonist had been pushed as far as they intended to be pushed.

On November 4, 2008 Barrack Hussein Obama was elected president of the United States.  Just before the election he promised his supporters “five days from now we will fundamentally change America.” Not only that, but he also promised to “re­distribute the wealth” created by the American system of capitalism. As a can­didate, Obama promised the most open and transparent administration in history, yet as President everything has been done behind closed doors. In spite of his promise to place every piece of legislation on the inter-net for five days prior to passage, Congress is now voting on legislation before even taking the time to read it themselves.

His coat tails were long, sweeping into Congress men and women who would support his socialist agenda. What the average person did not realize was that the hope and change he preached was his hope to change America into a socialist nation.  Buried inside a seemingly innocuous Obama speech on com­munity service is the ominous statement,

“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, and just as well-funded.” (University of Colorado, July 2, 2008)

What would be the purpose of this force? The noble sounding objectives given are the same as Hitler used to justify his brown shirts in the 1930’s.  Believing he had a mandate for change, Obama entered office with a messiah complex. Having gained control of both houses of congress, he immediately began pushing his socialist agenda on the American people. When he was elected America was facing an economic downturn. He and his congressional minions conspired to change the downturn into a crisis, then used the crisis they had created to justify enacting his socialist agenda. Through a system of bail-outs they gained control over the major financial institutions as well as much of the automotive industry. Now they are working to take over health care and talking about the need to control executive pay, not only for companies bailed out, but any company subject to government regulation.

On April 15, 2009 the patriotic sons and daughters of America once again held Tea Parties across this great land.  These non-violent protest were intended to remind our federal government that the American people will take only so much.  Our voices have fallen on deaf ears in Washington, and Obama, along with his minions, considering the voice of the people to be that of insignificant rabble, labeled us as right-wing nuts and domestic terrorist.   Congressional leaders bribed and bartered with their Democratic minions to force a socialist agenda on the American people, whether the people liked it or not.  Like our founding fathers, the American patriots have been pushed as far as we intended to be pushed.    In their wisdom our founders left us a fourth option, the ballot box, which is the most powerful weapon in our arsenal.  Just as before, the revolution began in Massachusetts, with the special election held in on January 19, 2009 being the opening shot of Second American Revolution.  

Mr. President and members of Congress, be assured America is, and will remain, a free people with a capitalist economy.  Our founding fathers did not establish what Ronald Reagan referred to as the “last best hope of man on earth” to have it destroyed by a few elitist in Washington, D.C.  The Second American Revolution will be completed on November 2, 2010 after which our government will once again be “Of the people, by the people and for the people.”

Appeals to the courts of our land have fallen on the deaf ears of carefully selected judges who promised in their confirmation hearings to adhere, not to the Constitution, but to the will of the Senators who approved them.  They have taken their oath of office with one hand on the Bible while the other is behind their back with crossed fingers.

Our founders had three options; the soap box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.  They tried the first, were rejected by the second, and forced to resort to the third.  They have left for us a fourth option; the ballot box.  Our choice is clear.  Our duty is plain. Our course is obvious.  If our nation is to survive we must rid ourselves of all in Washington, both Republican and Democrat, who would destroy our constitution, and replace them with men and women who will protect and preserve it.  First with our voices, then with our votes.

Our fellow Americans are already in the field. Millions of patriots are making their voices heard at tea parties and town halls across the nation.  More than a million of our neighbors and fellow citizens marched on Washington, D. C.  Thousands of letters and millions of e-mails have been sent to members of Congress.  The voices speaking out are not those of evil rabble or right-wing nuts, as some leaders have labeled us.  They are the voices of the sons and daughters of America.  Like Admiral Yamamoto, this government has awakened a sleeping giant and placed within him an awesome resolve.   The giant has a name.  It is “We the People.”  The giant has a purpose.  It is to restore that government “of the people, by the people, and for the people” to this land we love.

How many living today were foot soldiers in the Reagan revolution?  Do we still remember?   Do we still have the resolve?  Do we still have the strength?  Can we, and will we, once again stand together in defense of our blood-bought freedoms?  Or, have our fading health and sunset years diminished our love of freedom, and our willingness to stand and fight for it?  I pray not!  Will the forces of evil now in Washington condemn our nation to the dustbin of human history?  God forbid it!

Many of us have grown old enjoying the blessings of this great nation. Yes, we walk a little slower these days and our hearing and eyesight are not what they once were.  The torch of liberty is passing from our generation to a younger one.  It is my prayer that this new generation will have the wisdom, and determination, to preserve the values the young men of this nation have fought and died for over the last two hundred and thirty-three years.

As I write this I remain convinced that the torch of liberty, lit by our founders and passed through the generations, still burns in the heart of  every patriotic, God-fearing American.  I remain convinced that if enough of us stand up and speak out we can defeat the current madness in Washington, and pass our cherished freedom on to those generations following in our footsteps.

A United States Senator who opposed war once stood on the floor of the Senate and made the bold affirmation that “Freedom has never been obtained at the point of a bayonet.” Another senator arose to ask the simple question, “Sir, how does the good Senator think we got ours?” Americans have understood since our founding that there are some things worth fighting for and even dying for.  The preservation of our nation is one of those things.

At stake is nothing less than the future of our children and grandchildren.  When they look back on this generation what will they see?  What will they think?  What will they say?  Did we fail them?  In the hour of America’s greatest challenge did we rise up as patriots or remain silent as cowards?  Will they enjoy the freedom we enjoy, or will our inaction condemn them to life under a tyrannical, oppressive, and socialistic world government?

These questions will be answered by other generations in other times.   My prayer is that Americans will refuse to submit to this onslaught of tyranny.  The time is now.   The future will not wait.  “We the People” must make our voices  echo  throughout the chambers of government, and place “fear of the ballot box” in the heart of every incumbent, Republican and Democrat, from State House to White House.  As Patrick Henry asked two hundred and thirty-four years ago,

“Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

I pray the God of our fathers will once again raise up dedicated men and women who, like Reagan, will lead this nation out of the abyss of darkness and back into the sunlight of freedom.  I am convinced they are out there. If they will but stand up “We the People” will stand with them, just as we did during the Reagan Revolution. For the sake of our children and grandchildren, the “shining city on a hill.” must be preserved.  We must make the city stronger. We must make the city freer. And we must leave her in good hands.

I can think of no better way to end this article than letting Ronald Reagan speak once again to this generation.

“It’s time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, ‘We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government.’ This idea — that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power — is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man. This is the issue of this election: Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves…

“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.”

May God bless our efforts and may God bless the Unites States of America.

I don’t know if this will find you living in the land of the free and the home of the brave, or under a system of one world government which has long since discarded the great documents of freedom penned by the founding fathers of America. Will you even be aware that there were such things as the Declara­tion of Independence, the Constitution or the Emancipation Proclamation? Will you be told of the sacrifices made by men and women to defend and preserve the life and liberty we today hold dear?

The sands of history may have buried many of these things, but it is impor­tant that you know about them. It is important that you know your true heritage. Indeed, the history of my day may have been revised beyond rec­ognition by the agents of change who are at work, even as I write this. It has been said that those who fail to learn the lessons of history and benefit from the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them. I pray this finds you liv­ing in freedom in a land called America. But if it doesn’t, I want you to know and understand what happened. I want you to know and understand how evil can destroy a great nation, little by little, if good men remain silent.

When the final chapter is written in the history of mankind, it is my prayer that a book called the Bible will still be in your hands and you will have loved and lived the wisdom it contains. A nation can be destroyed, lives can be for­feited, but as long as you have and hold to the eternal word of God you can never be defeated. So draw near and listen, my children, while I tell you the story of a land called America. To read leter go to:
