Over 200 years ago the founders of this nation threw off an oppressive government and created for themselves and their posterity a new form of government, deriving its just powers from the consent of the governed: We the People.

The founders gave to the people a constitutional republic, not a democracy, by way of a written Constitution for the United States of America, where the rights and freedoms of the individual were to be protected above all else. So important to the framers of the Constitution was the protection of individual rights against oppressive government that they specifically described in the Constitution what the federal government was allowed to do. To further clarify and explain the strictly limited powers granted to the federal government, the Founding Fathers added the first ten amendments known as the Bill of Rights to the Constitution spelling out specific individual liberties that the federal government was not to touch. They even further stated in the Tenth Amendment that, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited to it by the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,” meaning simply that if the Constitution did not grant a specific power to the federal government, then it was reserved to the States or to the people.

Today, most of what the federal government does is not constitutionally authorized nor was it given that authority by the States or by We the People. Over the last 100 years or so, and more particularly during the last few decades, We the People have been witness to the very losses of individual liberties that the founders warned would happen if the people did not remain vigilant along with other changes they could not have foreseen.

We the People have come to a point where we can no longer trust or depend on many of the people and institutions upon which we have previously relied to defend and preserve our constitutional liberties.

    We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, too many self-serving politicians, bureaucrats and judges in violation of their oaths of office and to promote some political agenda, have done more to incrementally dismantle our constitution and individual liberties than they have done to preserve and protect them.

   We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, too many career politicians have learned how to and created new ways to “manipulate the system”, unforeseen by the Founding Fathers, by passing legislation with some noble sounding title or justification that creates more problems than it solves and then come back and say that they need more of our money and more power to solve the problems they created in the first place.

    We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, too many elitist legislative bodies have passed laws We the People are expected to obey, yet make themselves exempt, as well as enact unworkable programs they say are designed for the people, yet they are unwilling participate in the program themselves and create a better program for themselves, at our expense.

    We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, our second amendment right to keep and bear arms against the threat of an oppressive government has and is being incrementally taken away from us.

    We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, a debt has been created in our name by our political leaders that threatens the very existence of our constitutional republic and the future of our children and grandchildren.

    We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, the political bias of a self-righteous and arrogant media has been evidenced more by what it does not report on than what it does report.

We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, our system of public education has been degraded to where it is producing generations of citizens far less basically educated than previous generations making them easier to deceive, manipulate and control. America’s system of educating its future citizens, once the envy of the world, has deteriorated to the point where America no longer produces the world’s best scientists, doctors, engineers, business leaders, educators and teachers or leaders.

    We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, the social security system that many of us will depend on in coming years has been stolen from us and reduced to little more that the largest "Ponzi" scheme in history.

    We the People have watched with increasing disgust as, in recent decades, illegal immigration has and continues to cause problems throughout American society that include, but are not limited to the loss of job opportunities for American workers, restricting education resources for American students, reducing the availability and increasing the cost of medical care for American citizens in need of it, draining the very limited resources of the Social Security program and overloading law enforcement capabilities that could be better used elsewhere, all costing Americans billions of dollars every year, and yet our political leaders seem to be unwilling or incapable of solving the problem.

     We the People can only conclude that far too many of our political leaders past and present are either so incompetent that they are undeserving of our trust and unworthy of their positions and the benefits they receive supposedly serving our best interests, or that they know exactly what they are doing and are guilty of fraud at best or treason at worst for violating the Constitution and their oath of office. No matter what one chooses to call them, to those elitists, statists and/or socialists who think they know better than the rest of us how we should live our lives, raise and educate our children, spend our earnings or what we should believe in; We the People say to you that you have the right to believe as you choose, but you do not have the right nor should you presume to impose your beliefs on the rest of us.

While each of the matters outlined above are very serious matters in and of themselves, it is the culmination of their effects that requires We the People to act in order to preserve the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, because if we do not, then who will? For that matter if we will not then why should anyone else?

    We the People revere our constitutional heritage and as such shall establish institutions of our own design to restore and sustain our constitutional republic for ourselves and our posterity as well as to honor of all those who have sacrificed to preserve it.

    We the People respect our constitutional form of government and the principles upon which it is based that have created the most free and prosperous civilization that mankind has ever known and will not stand by and allow it to be reduced to an incompetent socialist dictatorship.

    We the People will conduct our own investigative research and provide to our fellow citizens such educational resources of a constitutional nature as may be required so that they may more effectively participate in preserving our country, its Constitution and the freedoms that are our birthright.

    We the People will provide to our fellow citizens our own news reports, commentary and analysis, unfiltered by political bias or agenda. These reports will focus on the activities of our public servants in government to counter the misrepresentations, distortions, one-sided reporting and the simple lack of adequate reporting that currently exists.

    We the People will establish an "Office of Citizens' Vigilance" that will be owned and operated by We the People to assist our elected officials in complying with their oath of office, the Constitution and the will of the people whom they represent.
