We are Americans before we are Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, or other political partisan groups. The Constitution of the United States, The Bill of Rights, The Declaration of Independence, The Federalist Papers, and The Rule of Law—rooted in the principles of Life, Liberty, The Pursuit of Happiness, and the Well-Being of every American—must be taught to children early, observed and understood as adults, and greatly appreciated and selflessly honored daily throughout life.
It is beyond criminal what has and continues to happen daily since 1913, when the Income Tax was established. The political deception and lies, excessive confiscation of “We the People’s” wages, salaries, and retirement incomes, plus self-serving, unconstitutional laws passed, greased within essence copious bribes via foreign bank deposits, huge insider trading gains—not to mention the political perks of office enacted by and for the elected, expressly prohibited by the original Thirteenth Amendment, and hidden by dishonest self-serving politicians during the Civil War—must stop.
This unchecked political evil has persisted and grown over the past few decades. It even includes government secrets traded for monetary favors from China by high government officials, recently involving treasonous actions that, if left unchecked, will result in the economic destruction of the United States. Economic destruction, job-killing, and the quiet, stealthy decimation of the middle class are all facts that speak for themselves, yet which “We the People” seem utterly oblivious to.
These crimes, fostered by controlled and compliant news media, point to a world intrigue, if you will, intent on the planned demise of the United States of America.
Their toolbox consists of gun control, ever-increasing and burdensome taxes, the unaffordable “Affordable Care Act,” the purposeful, political, planned illegal alien invasion of the United States, Black Flag operations against American Citizens, plus even more treasonous actions now being planned that threaten to destroy this once great Republic.
While dedicating the memorial at Gettysburg on November 19, 1863, a little over 150 years ago, Abraham Lincoln said of America, “We are now engaged in a great Civil War, testing whether this nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.” Many rot the soul of a nation; they work secretly (the deep state, for example) and unknowingly in the night undermine the pillars of society, and infect the body politic.
The Founding Fathers—Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay—wrote eighty-five of “The Federalist Papers.” In Federalist Paper No. 39, Madison defined a Republic as a government that derives all powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people and is administered by persons holding their offices during pleasure for a limited period or during good behavior.
Based on today’s facts, many sitting elected officials and their appointees have purposely failed to function at the Federal Level of Government within the existing documents of the Republic, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law. Given this violation of voters’ trust, the Constitution, and the preservation of the Republic, “We, the Americans,” are stepping in to suggest that these failed leaders’ lease on office be ended as soon as possible. They must be replaced by and with honest and truthful Americans. Time is of the essence. America is at a crossroads.
If the United States of America, the Constitution, and We the People are to survive, the following issues must be quickly and peacefully resolved:
- Leadership – replace failed, corrupt, and self-serving elected and appointed politicians and cleanse the political parties at all levels of excessive partisanship.
- Continue to stop any economic destruction of America and her people.
- Eliminate the destructive, elite, greedy, and self-serving Federal Reserve central banking system and its supporting income tax system.
- Continue to build a strong military of the Active-Duty, Guard, and Reserve Military Forces that have kept Americans Safe, Free, and Secure.
- Continue to stop any purposeful illegal alien invasion across our borders.
- Continue to reduce the costly and unnecessary Federal Government Departments and Agencies—a behemoth that our Founding Fathers would never have countenanced.
Fortunately, some of these priorities are well underway under the leadership of President Trump. However, the damage is so severe that it will take all Americans to keep the heat on elected officials. This process will take far longer than a four-year presidential cycle.
These are vital issues and matters that American Leadership must continue to resolve if America is to remain Free, Safe, and Secure. They must be determined so that the Constitution and a Rule of Common Law will prevail in the daily lives of “We the People” and the Republic preserved—the very Republic our forefathers and mothers bequeathed to every American Citizen and all future generations.
Right now, an unjust and unprecedented usurping of power is smothering the Constitution and the Rule of Law. We have fought too hard, shed too much blood, paid too much treasure, and earned through the sweat of our brow in defending and building our beloved America to turn our backs on it now. “We the People” demand that the destruction of America end.
Solutions:
- Re-establishing American Leadership. The United States of America is being destroyed from within, particularly by some of “the elected” and their appointees. Available facts speak the truth of that matter. One colossal question looms: Do the American people have politicians who have been legitimately elected to sit in seats of power? If not, why not? Rigged elections by political parties, false vetting documents, or fraudulent elections by shadow governments and power brokers, after which they beat the drums for the so-called elected to march to. The simple solution is to return to paper voting ballots and picture identification as a voting requirement.
- Averting Economic Destruction. If the “American Taxpayer” is forced to foot the massive interest bill on the debt that keeps the unsustainable and rapidly growing National Treasury from going bankrupt every year, America and “We the People” will continue to be squeezed on the way to complete and total economic destruction. Upon retirement from the presidency, President Woodrow Wilson made this statement, referring to the corrupt establishment of the Federal Reserve System: “I believe I have destroyed my country.” This system is, in fact, not Federal and has extraordinarily little reserve currency invested. Nor is it constitutional, and whether Congress legally passed it still looms. If the American people elect an honest Congress and President who put America first—as opposed to the money masters who deposit funds in offshore bank accounts—Americans could become interest-free on repaying the national debt within 60 days. The federal income tax system could be eliminated, leading to booming prosperity that we have never seen before in the history of our republic.
- “The Americans” will take the time to explain that 60-day recovery solution: The Federal Reserve Central Banking System will be abolished, and the United States Treasury will become the only monetary system authorized/allowed within the Federal Government.
- Creating Jobs Is the Path to America’s Resurgence vs. Purposeful, Deceptive Job-Killing—the Reason for Our Decline. With an interest-free National Debt, no Income tax would be necessary. Less-than-honest politicians devised the 16th Amendment (Income Tax Amendment) and the Federal Reserve to confiscate American wages and salaries. Middle-class jobs will be created in more plentiful numbers than ever before, and folks will be able to get married sooner and have more children, which will redound to the benefit of the economy and our national security. Furthermore, with the onerous tax burden lifted, American manufacturing will continue to compete in worldwide markets and prosper. Corporate money banked offshore (trillions) will be transferred back to American banks that can be used for investment loans, and banks in the US will grow.
- With no income tax to pay and countless new jobs created in America, the economy will boom, welfare costs will subside, and costs to the Federal Government will become much less than the politically expedient
- Reduce the Federal Government. Without question, the government had grown and expanded far beyond necessity, reasonableness, common sense, and cost-effectiveness. And never at the rate witnessed during the past five years. Transferring wealth by rapidly expanding government inside the hiring arena of Washington, DC, plus the massive in-house spending within the Executive Branch of the United States Government, would be suicidal if it were not for the failure of a Congressional Budget that has fostered unchecked spending of the present administration.
- Term Limits – Must be established so that the Republic has no career politicians or judges. Term limits are to be set as follows:
- Members of Congress Representatives – Two terms of four years each.
- Senators – Two Terms of six years each.
- Supreme Court Judges – one term of 10 years.
The Federalist Papers set forth pressing governing issues vis-à-vis early times in America and have often been referred to for understanding government since those times. The American First Papers follow that template for today’s pressing governing issues, seeking to clarify further what American Leadership believes is peacefully and vitally necessary to preserve and secure the Constitution, the Republic, and our children’s future.
