I would like to extend my deepest condolences to the families of the victims of the jihadist attack at Fort Hood, TX on Thursday, November 6, 2009. May God comfort your souls, ease your suffering and sorrow in a way that only HE can, and heal your bodies of the injuries sustained.
What happenned at Fort Hood will mark another "day that will go down in INFAMY". May the sacrifice made by these faithful soldiers and civilians serve to WAKE UP our slumbering masses and their deluded leaders -- military, civilian, political, media, academic -- to the FACT that we are engaged in a "JIHAD", A WAR, against a ruthless enemy that will stop at nothing to destroy our way of life whether they come at us one a time, in cells, or a massive terrorist attack. Their cultic, demonic delusion drives them with a hatred we cannot begin to fathom, but to deny it is suicide. May the TRUE and living God bless and protect our soldiers.

This just posted on Youtube by representatives of Grassfire.org and Resistnet.com, after they were prevented from delivering petitions to the United States Senate's Russell Office Building. Pelousy and Dingy Harry AREN'T LISTENING!!!
So, why is this important? Its important because We the People are guaranteed the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to petition our federal representatives under the FIRST AMENDMENT. The First Amendment Center provides a fantastic summary of the history of the right to petition here. I highly recommend that you read it. Unless we know where we've BEEN, we cannot substantively lay hold on where we ARE and where we need to GO.
Some history On July 4, 1776, the country’s Founders adopted a famous statement of principles and list of grievances, declaring that:
"In every state of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."
King George III’s crowning wrong, in the end, was his indifference: Those who revolted felt they had no other recourse. In building a new democracy, the Founders avoided the king’s mistake by guaranteeing political receptiveness to public concerns.
Every day that goes by, the Democratic leadership shows its stalinist tyrannical fangs more and more. How far is this going to go before WE the People, ALL of us, stand up and say ENOUGH!?
As you all may know, President Obumbler just declared a "National Emergency" under the National Emergencies Act because of the H1N1 (swine) Flu. Apparently, this "emergency" pales in comparison to the virtual insolvency of our national economy, the looming threat of hyper-inflation, the collapse of the dollar, 10% unemployment, the threat of islamic jihad and terrorism, the war in Afghanistan, and the "sticks and stones will break Obama's bones" attacks from Fox News Channel and Rush Limbaugh. Fine. So let's look at it.
But hey, when it comes to Leftist logic, there isn't any, unless one hears "PpppOoooWwwwEeeRrrrR" whispering in the breeze. Now I don't want to sound like a scare mongering advocate of police state boogeymen, or martial law and black helicopters, driving people to panic like the Alex Jones fringe-kooks. In fact, WorldnetDaily.com did a fine write up on what the "Emergency" is intended to accomplish, at least for now. However, we are not ignorant of Obama and the Left's devices. It behooves us to know of what potential tools for totalitarian power grabs the Chicago Marxist Mafia actually has available to them. to that end, I present to you a handy list of "Things to Watch For In a Declared Emergency" written by Navy veteran Marion Valentine, published by the Canada Free Press. In this article, the author traces the web of Executive Orders signed over the last 30 years, which coupled with the provisions of the Violent Crimes Act, can effectively "with the stroke of a pen, Obama can suspend the Constitution, the Judiciary, Elections and declare himself president for life". Grab your blood pressure medicine, folks, a fan and may I suggest you weaker folks might need your Prozac nearby? This is a doozy.
Things to watch for during a “Declared National Emergency” By Marion Valentine Saturday, October 24, 2009
As I predicted—though I was unsure whether it would be the H1N1 virus or the collapse of the dollar—the Communist Puppet would use something to cement his total control over every aspect of our lives.
From the day he took office, Obama and his puppet masters have been building a shadow Government with all power vested in them. The Czars he has appointed, who were not vetted and approved by Congress nor elected, now have the authority to control every aspect of American commerce.
I challenge you to look at the Executive Orders that have been signed over the last 30 years and are still in place. Also carefully read the provisions of the Violent Crime Control Act. They are listed here America In Peril and I include a partial list below.
You will see that with the Executive Orders already in place, combined with the provisions of the Violent Crime Control Act, with the stroke of a pen Obama can suspend the Constitution, the Judiciary, Elections and in effect declare himself president for life.
The next step In the wannabe dictators plan is to declare Martial Law, confiscate all privately owned firearms, round up all dissenters and move them to detention centers. Also there will be detention centers for those who have the H1N1 virus.
A series of Executive Orders, internal governmental departmental laws, unpassed by Congress, the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 and the Violent Crime Control Act of 1991, provides additional powers to the President of the United States, allowing the suspension of the Constitution and Constitutional rights of Americans during a “drug crisis”. It provides for the construction of detention camps, seizure of property, and military control of populated areas, has whittled down Constitutional law substantially. These new Executive Orders and Congressional Acts allow for the construction of concentration camps, suspension of rights and the ability of the President to declare Martial Law in the event of a drug crisis. Congress will have no power to prevent the Martial Law declaration and can only review the process six months after Martial Law has been declared. The most critical Executive Order was issued on August 1, 1971. Nixon signed both a proclamation and Executive Order 11615. Proclamation No. 4074 states, “I hereby declare a national emergency”, thus establishing an economic crisis. That national emergency order has not been rescinded.
This, teamed with the Executive Orders of the President, enables Orwellian prophecies to rest on whomever occupies the White House. The power provided by these “laws” allows suspension of the Constitution and the rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights during any civil disturbances, major demonstrations and strikes and allows the military to implement government ordered movements of civilian populations at state and regional levels, the arrest of certain unidentified segments of the population, and the imposition of Martial Law.
When the Constitution of the United States was framed it placed the exclusive legislative authority in the hands of Congress and with the President. Article I, Section 1 of the United States Constitution is concise in its language:
“All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.”
That is no longer true. The Bill of Rights protected Americans against loss of freedoms. That is no longer true. The Constitution provided for a balanced separation of powers. That is no longer applicable.
Perhaps it can be summed up succinctly in the words of arch-conservative activist Howard J Ruff:
“Since the enactment of Executive Order 11490, the only thing standing between us and dictatorship is the good character of the President, and the lack of a crisis severe enough that the public would stand still for it.”
Next we will look at all legislation passed or attempted by the dishonest Socialist regardless if they call themselves Progressive, Liberal, Independent, Republican, or Democrat.
If you have a computer you can look up the legislation.
Here are just a few Executive Orders that would suspend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These Executive Orders have been on record for nearly 30 years and could be enacted by the stroke of a Presidential pen:

Please visit Jon McNaughton's art gallery and view "One Nation Under God", a true masterpiece work of art. The picture has an interactive feature that allows you to roll over each figure to view the person's name, their place in the history of our country and the significance of each symbol represented therein. It is truly inspiring! Also, don't miss his rebuttal to the liberal critics of his piece. Priceless!
When Nancy Pelosi says that eliminating the Bush tax cuts is not a tax increase but rather the elimination of a tax decrease, it just underscores the Democrats' attitude that our money is THEIRS, and legislation only dictates how much of it they deem to let us keep at any given point in time.
In simple terms, these are the six "PURPOSES" listed in the preamble of the United States Constitution that everything ELSE which follows is supposed to serve:
WE THE PEOPLE, in order to: 1) to form a more perfect union... "CONNECT THE STATES" 2) to establish justice.... "ESTABLISH JUSTICE" 3) to ensure domestic tranquility..."ENSURE PEACE" 4) to provide for the common defense "PROVIDE DEFENSE" 5) to promote the general welfare ... "PROVIDE A FAIR ECONOMIC PLAYING FIELD FOR ALL CITIZENS ENABLING ACCESS TO ALL PARTIES FOR THE USE OF THEIR GIFTS, SKILLS, ABILITIES AND TALENTS TO PURSUE THEIR DREAMS AND GOALS IN LIFE" 6) to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity..."SECURE LIBERTY NOW AND FOR THE FUTURE"
This very informative video discusses how the Declaration of Independence and the U.S.Constitution work together. One is the "Purpose" document, or Charter. The other proceeds from it as the "Organizational"document, or the By-Laws. Together, they form a unity of understanding. Failure to know is how the leftist enemy within is overthrowing the country. They unhinged the two, and then went after LIFE, LIBERTY, and the PURSUIT of HAPPINESS, replacing them with DEATH, LICENSE, and SOCIALISM.
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them." - George Washington, Farewell Address POINT: Those who attack God, attack America's foundation.
The video below is a ten minute summary of the nine Key Concepts put forth in the Declaration of Independence, and how the Declaration of Independence and Constitution are designed to work together. Three thousand years ago, the Psalmist asked "If the foundations are destroyed,what can the righteous do?" Our foundations are being destroyed before our very eyes.
Psalms 11:3-7 If the foundations are destroyed,what can the righteous do? The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven;his eyes see, his eyelids test the children of man. The Lord tests the righteous,but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence. Let him rain coals on the wicked; fire and sulfur and a scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup. For the Lord is righteous;he loves righteous deeds;the upright shall behold his face.
