The Declaration of Independence - Cherished Symbol of Liberty

www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/declaration.html


Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is at once the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty and Jefferson's most enduring monument. Here, in exalted and unforgettable phrases, Jefferson expressed the convictions in the minds and hearts of the American people. The political philosophy of the Declaration was not new; its ideals of individual liberty had already been expressed by John Locke and the Continental philosophers. What Jefferson did was to summarize this philosophy in "self-evident truths" and set forth a list of grievances against the King in order to justify before the world the breaking of ties between the colonies and the mother country.

The U. S. Bill Of Rights - Basis of Our Freedoms

www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/bill_of_rights.html


During the debates on the adoption of the Constitution, its opponents repeatedly charged that the Constitution as drafted would open the way to tyranny by the central government. Fresh in their minds was the memory of the British violation of civil rights before and during the Revolution. They demanded a "bill of rights" that would spell out the immunities of individual citizens. Several state conventions in their formal ratification of the Constitution asked for such amendments; others ratified the Constitution with the understanding that the amendments would be offered.

The U. S. Constitution - Foundation of Our Nation

www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/constitution.html


The Federal Convention convened in the State House (Independence Hall) in Philadelphia on May 14, 1787, to revise the Articles of Confederation. Because the delegations from only two states were at first present, the members adjourned from day to day until a quorum of seven states was obtained on May 25. Through discussion and debate it became clear by mid-June that, rather than amend the existing Articles, the Convention would draft an entirely new frame of government. All through the summer, in closed sessions, the delegates debated, and redrafted the articles of the new Constitution. Among the chief points at issue were how much power to allow the central government, how many representatives in Congress to allow each state, and how these representatives should be elected--directly by the people or by the state legislators. The work of many minds, the Constitution stands as a model of cooperative statesmanship and the art of compromise.

PLANNED COLLAPSE OF AMERICA

PLANNED COLLAPSE OF AMERICA

By Frosty Wooldridge
August 4, 2008
NewsWithViews.com

As he fidgeted with his hat, Laurel told Hardy, “It’s a fine mess we’ve gotten ourselves into, now isn’t it?”

Most Americans who remember the 50s comedy team of Laurel and Hardy ‘wish’ for such good old days when our problems enjoyed solvability! Today, we speed toward a point where no solutions exist—except for grievous meltdown of our civilization.

Right now, this nation sinks in financial quicksand with $9.4 trillion debt. We borrow $2 billion daily to float our economy. Our consumer debt exceeds $2 trillion. Our annual trade deficit exceeds $700 billion. We shell out $700 billion annually for oil. Average American credit card holder carries a $9,240 balance according to NBC’s Brian Williams. Over 1,000 American manufacturing jobs vanish weekly in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. In excess of 28 million Americans use food stamps to feed themselves. We spend $12 billion a month for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We suffer 1.5 million homeless walking our streets in America.

Our ghettoes smolder with human misery, crime and despair while we build Iraq’s future. How about $4.00 a gallon for gas and $4.69 a gallon for diesel? How about our Interstate highway infrastructure as well as sewer systems in this country degrade by the day—yet continue without repair! Yet, we import 200,000 third world immigrants every 30 days without end to add to the horrific load upon our country!

Anyone out there understand California, Phoenix, Nevada and Colorado suffer ongoing droughts? Yet, for starters, California adds 1,600 people daily according to www.capsweb.org.

Does anyone understand how much trouble the United States finds itself? I mean, folks, this nation stands on its tip-toes in a septic tank nostril-deep in trouble.

“This is going to make it extraordinarily difficult for whoever’s going to become president—I don’t care who the president is,” said Kent Conrad, U.S. Senate Budget Committee chairman on Bush’s projected $482 billion budget deficit, a new record.

In his noble piece, The Planned Collapse of America, Peter Chamberlin wrote, “The government has known for decades that America is on a countdown to self-destruction. Among the elite it is common knowledge that our “global economy” must one day collapse from its own dead weight. In 1974 an intensive research project was undertaken by the Stanford Research Institute and the Charles F. Kettering Foundation for the Dept. of Education. Their final report was released as the Changing Images of Man.

“The object of the research was the development of a plausible vision of the future in which democratic methods survive, major problems are managed successfully if not resolved, and the unfolding of the human potential continues to expand. In other words, the postulation of a “desirable future” including feasible paths to its realization.”

The two men running for the presidency, Obama and McCain, display voting records in the U.S. Senate that fail to secure our future but work against American citizens!

Where do I start? Has either candidate stopped the massive H-1B, H-2B, L-1 and other massive visa scams that displaced over 1,000,000 jobs out of American hands? No! Obama and McCain voted for extensions of those visas and adding to them. Not only that, both candidates voted for all insourcing, outsourcing and offshoring of jobs. They’ve collectively screwed America’s manufacturing workforce out of jobs.

Take a guess as to why our home foreclosure rates explode out of control? Our U.S. Senate along with Obama and McCain protect the interests of 20 million illegal aliens that take jobs from American citizens! They support and defend those within our country that live and work in violation of our laws.

"Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave." - Testimony of the late Barbara Jordan, Chair, U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform on February 24, 1995.

Has either candidate stepped up to stop 20 to 30 million illegal aliens from remaining in our country against our American working citizens? No! They voted to give amnesty in June 2007 while doubling legal immigration from 1.2 to 2.4 million each year.

Obama calls our own ICE agents ‘terrorists’ for doing their jobs to protect American citizens. Additionally, he cheered the recent court decision against the citizens of Hazelton, PA that allows illegal felons, rapists, child molesters, murderers and drunk drivers free reign within the city as, “a victory for all Americans." Trouble is; they aren’t Americans; they are illegal aliens. And, he thinks we should speak Spanish instead of our own national language: English!

McCain voted for the 1986 amnesty, but did nothing to secure our borders then and now. How completely out of their minds do you think they show themselves as they represent everything against American citizenship!

Has either one shown vision as to our accelerating energy crisis? Look at their records to find not one single bill to move this country toward energy independence. No vision, no plan, no action for three years from Obama and 30 years from McCain!

Has either man stepped up to stop 400,000 annual illegal alien anchor babies and their mothers from sucking out of the U.S. taxpayer’s pocket? Even while 86 hospitals in California and Arizona bankrupted out of existence because of millions of illegals using services for free? Not a chance!

Chamberlin said, “The thing about this research is that this work has confirmed that our economy based on parasitic capitalism, where the small elite sits atop the heap of men and gorges on their lifeblood, is destroying the social fabric of America.”

Notice the elites use their immense power to continue flooding America with a 21st century slave class. Notice their complete disregard for the rule of law.

“This system is based on a stacked deck, where the top elites always reap the profits that are made to rise to the top through the corporate profits-based system,” Chamberlin said. “The research confirmed that the growing inequities of such a system were ever increasing and with them, elevated social tensions.”

Chamberlin talked about the New World Order with George W. Bush pushing it onto America as fast as his devious hands can push. Chamberlin talked about Bush raging war on Iran against America’s wishes.

[http://www.newswithviews.com/images/Article-Support-NWV.gif]

Chamberlin said, “Despite all the report’s shortcomings and its hypocrisy, it does make some sound observations about what is needed for our immediate survival. We should take it as a guide to what our government knows about the coming mega-crisis and a template to help us see what changes we could make if there were truly a new economy, a new social contract, a new American state. For it is obvious to all those who take the time to look, that we are headed into a period of national freefall, when American society plunges head first, into a dark abyss of uncertainty, as the old order passes away, and the New World Order rushes in to fill the void. We are seeing the planned collapse of America, coming down the road we are on. What are we going to do to get our nation off that highway to hell?”

[http://www.newswithviews.com/images/Free-Alerts.gif]

Unfortunately, in the same brush stroke, I see average American citizens--too apathetic, too preoccupied with frivolity and too self-absorbed in indolent behavior to care enough to take action.

It’s a guaranteed reality that when Obama or McCain take the wheel on January 9, 2009, one or the other continues on the same track toward the same destination that George W. Bush launched. Our sovereignty, our culture, our language, our success as a civilization cannot and will not survive this onslaught.

The Pickens Plan

www.pickensplan.com/index.php


A Personal Note from T. Boone Pickens
It\'s me — Boone.
Get this one. There was a poll last week that said 74% of all Americans were for the Pickens Plan. Americans overwhelmingly believe the plan will work. They\'re finding out what you and I already know. But here\'s the clinker — 64% of them said they think lobbyists and Congress will kill the plan.

Well I\'ve got some news for them — they haven\'t met you and me yet. We\'re going to show them what a million people can do when the future of our country is at stake.
If you haven\'t signed up a friend yet, take one minute and do it right now. There\'s a letter at the bottom you can cut and paste if you don\'t have time to write one yourself.
Also this week we\'ll be launching a new ad focusing on step two of the plan.

With your help, we\'ve come a long way in a short amount of time. Energy is the #1 issue in America right now—and we need to keep it that way until our next President and Congress are sworn in. We\'ve got to keep driving this thing until we hear the glass breakin\'.

— T. Boone Pickens
________________________________
FORWARD TO A FRIEND
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That\'s our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this.

That\'s why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.
