My Dearest America,
I write to you today with great remorse but also unrelenting pride.
Remorse, because of what we have allowed to befall you. Pride, because I
know we as proud citizens will correct that which has allowed this.
Your magnificent splendor has awed us as no other nation in the
world. From your snow-capped mountains to your fertile plains, you have
been unselfish in giving of your bounty. From one grand ocean to another
your beauty has been captivating and inspiring. Your unassuming nature
has been humbling.
On that fateful fourth day of July 237 years ago, you were born under
the proud and watchful gaze of 56 men who put Country before self. With
their signatures they bestowed upon not only us, but the entire world,
one of the most beautiful documents ever written on a single parchment.
The Declaration of Independence stands alone as the direction of the
free world.
From your infancy you struggled. As you grew you carried the burden
of that freedom on your shoulders as no nation before or since, yet you
never faltered or complained. A little more than 8 years later your
burden was eased when 55 men once again joined to create the most
revered Constitution in history. On a mere four pages they created the
Supreme Law under which we have lived freely since.
A list of Rights was subsequently added and accepted not from men or
Kings, but from our Creator. Embracing freedom you have proudly
declared, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning
to breathe free”, to any and all people of the world.
Your Founding Fathers were common men of simple and honorable means.
Their purpose was not fame or notoriety, they knew not what the future
held for you, rather it was to forge the direction so needed back then.
They did not wish you to be an egalitarian state nor did they want an
all powerful government from which they initially fled. They were
reverent yet not assuming, they were humble yet confident, they were the
truest of Patriots.
They opposed, with dedication and strength, the pretended authority
of intrusive government and accepted with trust the Creators guidance.
All the while they defined and affirmed the legal basis of State
Sovereignty.
These men bravely and honorably accepted their challenge and many
made ultimate sacrifices during wars and revolution in order to preserve
their beliefs for your legality.
Created as a Federal Constitutional Republic did not, however,
prevent many from conspiring tyranny against you. Against many odds and
obstacles you have survived. We now find ourselves at the doorstep of a
“fundamental transformation” of your sovereignty. An attempt at
socializing your justice and dissecting your individualism into a
collective that breeches your very foundation is being deviously
attempted.
We The People have neglected our responsibility to preserve your
unselfishness of Liberty, Justice and Freedom. We held these truths to
be self evident yet we allowed them to be corrupted by the very people
we honored with our most powerful weapon, our vote.
We have shown that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evils
are sufferable, than to right ourselves by abolishing the forms to which
they are accustomed. This is our tragedy and our shame. We have, over
the course of many decades, allowed ourselves to become preoccupied with
our own needs rather than preserving yours. We have become selfish, as
you stood proudly against Despotism for centuries, and have allowed your
freedom to be challenged. For this we beg your and God’s forgiveness.
We have realized the error of our ways. We realize now that those
that we favored with preserving our Rights have been deviant in their
intentions and advantageous in their benefit against our wishes. Our
preoccupation of attaining your greatest gift to us, the ”American
Dream”, has created a horrible disconnect with our true duty, the
securing of your most important merits of Life, Liberty and the pursuit
of Happiness.
We now prostrate ourselves before you and humbly deliver that we will
never allow ourselves to neglect our solemn duty to you again. We have
declared a movement, a revolution if you would, to once again restore
you to your rightful and proper place as “The Shining City On The Hill”.
A Nation that is not to be envied, but rather to be looked upon and
replicated on other lands. Replicated because we have accepted it as the
way every man, woman and child was intended to live, as free people, as
directed by our Creator, not men.
We solemnly offer that we will return to the intended regard of
social, moral and spiritual beliefs that created your magnificence. We
will wrap these beliefs around our core values of Constitutionally
limited government, fiscal responsibility and free market principles.
We understand these were, are and will be guaranteed not just to us
but to our progeny as our Founders and ancestors demanded. We accept
that many have suffered the ultimate sacrifice to maintain your freedom,
we shall never allow that to be dismissed from your history and legacy.
We promise to never again assume the power of our vote, but rather to
cherish it as our Patriotic duty to restore our government to its
intended purpose.
America, we will never neglect you again. Your exceptional place in
the world must be maintained and we humbly submit our dedication to that
cause.
We will not disappoint.
We will not falter.
You will survive.
God Bless You and all that you stand for.
Patriotically Yours,
We The People of the United States of America
