MG Paul E. Vallely, US Army (Ret.)
Congress,
you along with the Courts and the Executive Branch, are continuing down
the path of destroying America. Our Constitution and the Articles
therein do not provide for National Suicide.
Enough is Enough…!
National Call to Action
WE
are broke as a country with $16 trillion dollars in debt and a
gigantic, bloated government and bureaucracy. Our research reflects that
the Federal Government can be downsized by at least 47% and American
citizens would not miss any of it the next day.
Our
government appears more each day to be reflective of a third world
country in terms of ineptness, corruption, and dysfunction. This state
of the union is spread across all branches and levels of government. As
one noted historian said to me, the country is so encumbered today and
so very similar to the Fall of the Roman Empire. America as we have
known it for several hundred years may, in fact, be near a collapse.
You
see, we need our elected and appointed political leaders to represent
us, the People, and abide by, and protect the Constitution and the Bill
of Rights. I would further suggest to the American people that
Congress’s first order of business is to start eliminating and
downsizing government organizations and budgets. As well, start
eliminating Federal Legislation that violates our Constitution and the
“Sovereignty” of our States and Local authorities.
Go
to work to reduce government and spending NOW! Disallow all lobbyists
and special interests groups. You work only for the People, no one else!
We need term limits on elected officials more now than ever. We need
resignations of all those that are corrupt and inept.
My
request would be to Senators and Congressmen; stay in your States that
you represent nine out of twelve months of the year and spend no more
than three months out of the year doing the people’s business in
Washington. Make use of the electronic age.
Three
months out of the year will provide you sufficient time to legislate
and vote on measures and issues with this thought in mind; “you could be
a greater asset to the country, to whom you represent and to the
country to stay away from the addiction of Washington and the belief
that you need to legislate as a lifeblood to your elected office.” It
would be very appealing to all of us at the Federal and State level, if
you would start to deregulate and de-legislate many of the laws and
regulations that are unnecessary to run our government efficiently and
productively for future generations.
This is a National Call to Action and it must begin now. The Declaration of Independence states:
“To
secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and
Happiness.”
“I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.” From the Poem Invictus by English poet William Ernest Henley
(1849–1903) that was penned in 1875. Yes, America, WE are the Masters
of our Fate and the Captains of our Soul. We are watching while
Washington burns and self-destructs before our very eyes but now,
hopefully you are starting to awaken.
The
majority of the country and its citizens are seeing the light of our
inept and incompetent leadership In Washington! The waste, the personal
agendas, the quest for power, and the massive numbers of regulations
crushing our economy and way of life must be stopped, now.
The battle is on and we shall not retreat. All of us, please make a commitment this 4th July, Independence Day, we Stand Up as one and save our country. Take it back!
We
are not going to permit the current leaders in the White House and in
the Halls of Congress to continue in their efforts to lead us down the
road of Progressive Socialism and the destruction of our Republic. The
Patriotic Revolution that I forecasted well over a year ago is happening
now. We Constitutionalists face a battle that is unknown to our newer
generations so we must be aggressive in our collective efforts to
continue to change the tide.
The
Fate of the country is now in our hands and the plea from the majority
of our citizens is to enforce the Constitution, severely limit the
Federal Government and it’s out of control spending. There is a growing
list of documented violations of the Constitution and their Oath of
Office by current elected and appointed government officials.
Corruptness, dishonestly and treasonous events and actions are occurring
before our eyes.
Lincoln issued this warning in his inaugural address:
“Any
people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to
rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one. This
is a most valuable and sacred right – a right which we hope and believe
is to liberate the world.”
Being
a representative republic, not a simple democracy, “rising up” means
other than revolution by force of arms, it means the use of our
collective voice, and peaceful action.
The
people must “rise up” (Stand Up) from the grass roots across this great
country as we think of the greater good of this and future generations.
We are limited in the peaceful transfer of power…resignation,
elections, and impeachment. That is why the Patriotic Revolution must
take place to ensure survival of the Union.
The oath is simple and reads:
“I
do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of
the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will
bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation
freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I
will faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about
to enter: So help me God.”
Sadly,
we have seen them violate their oath. Fraud, lying, and corruption are
rampant and some have engaged in treasonous activities, and they
effectively thumb their noses at us and have sold you to the highest
bidder.
The
Articles of Confederation were replaced with the Constitution, which
granted the federal government enough authority to cultivate, promote,
and secure the Blessings of Liberty. The balance of authority and
individual liberty was understood. Power was confined to that which was
enumerated in the Constitution with a certain and meaningful intent for
checks and balances.
We
must make it a local imperative and movement….of the People…by the
People… and for the People. “We, the People” have had enough.
Enough is Enough!
A
civil uprising is still not out of the question as “pain” grips the
country more each day. Hopefully, our future will reflect that the
citizens changed the tide in a peaceful way. This means raising your
voice now to your neighbors, family, co-workers, and friends. Be the
Captains of your Souls. I pray for another George Washington to appear
within the year and lead us.
