The American People are Drawing a Line in the Sand

CONTINENTAL CONGRESS 2009 UPDATE

FROM JOHN WALLACE - NY DELEGATE

We have just passed the half way mark for the Continental Congress of 2009. Here is what's happening:

Beyond Elections.
Beyond Petitions.
Beyond Tea Parties.

ST. CHARLES, IL - The first time free people assembled as a Congress of the People for such a critical point in the nation's history was in 1774 in Philadelphia. Over 230 years later 116 Delegates from 48 states have convened a modern day Continental Congress to exercise popular sovereignty and restore self-governance to the people of America.

The twelve day Congress is being broadcast live via streaming webcast at:
www.cc2009us.com, www.givemeliberty.org/cc2009, www.freedom.tv/live
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CDT through Saturday Nov 22nd.

The Citizen nominated and elected Delegates, all passionate about holding our servant government accountable to this nation's founding documents, have been meeting together day and night since Wednesday November 11th, generating a written and digital record for the history books. Despite the devastation across the US and the world as a result of our government's pervasive and unconstitutional acts, the Delegates have been quick to assert that the People have only themselves to blame for allowing these continued and escalating Constitutional violations.

Thus the Delegates are in the process of "drawing a line in the sand" and have convened this Continental Congress to end the nation's distress and restore the Republic form of self-governance that made America the most innovative and prosperous nation on earth.

The format for the Congress includes two sessions per day with guest speakers and documentary films to illustrate for all audiences how unlawful billion dollar bailouts, federal spending via limitless debt that enslaves our children, trillions spent on unconstitutional wars in places most Americans can't find on a map or tell you why we are there, the Bill of Rights -- intended to protect our God-given individual rights as a free people -- is now ignored on a daily basis, and has eradicated our Republic.

In addition, the Delegates have established Committees for each major area of violation, charged with drafting Remedial Instructions to be formally served upon both the Federal Government and each State's legislature. Delegates are quick to point out that these Instructions will be accompanied by a pro-active, peaceful mass movement of Civic Actions that all Americans can readily implement in order to ensure complicity from this and future servant government officials.

Here is a list of some of the committees:

WAR POWERS CLAUSES

GUN CONTROL LAWS

FEDERAL INCOME TAX

FEDERAL RESERVE

USA PATRIOT ACT

ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

NORTH AMERICAN UNION - NAFTA


The Committees have been meeting and debating during breaks and late into the evening and early morning hours each night. For approximately four hours per day, the Delegates convene formally via the live webcast in a public forum to deliberate and vote, one vote per state, and adopt proposed Instructions and Civic Actions brought forth by the Committees. Participants and supporters cite that any individual right that is not enforceable is no right at all.

Before next week, CC2009 will deliver to the American People a viable "sword" with which to "slay" the dragons of tyranny that have become a cancer unto our nation.

Out of CC2009 will emerge a compelling record of the violations of Fundamental Rights our People now suffer, a well articulated set of "Remedial Instructions" to literally direct government officials to execute under pain of mass resistance, and a volume of viable, practical and creative "Civic Actions" every one of the We the People may take en masse, to hold the Government accountable to our Law, and our Constitution.

Let us give our nation, our friends, and our families hope that the promise of our Founding Fathers has not yet been lost. If we join together in sufficient num bers, and embrace a peaceful, cogent, and unified plan of resistance with which to engage our oppressors, our individual acts in the defense of Liberty will no doubt serve to shortly free us again, just as our Founders once succeeded.

As we look forward to the approaching Thanksgiving holiday, let us endeavor to make Continental Congress the discussion du jour at dinner tables across our nation, while we embrace its promise within our hearts, giving thanks and remembrance for the Divine gifts of Liberty that we both enjoy, and as Citizens, are obligated to defend.

The non-partisan, non-political event has been organized by the We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education (http://www.cc2009.us/about-wtp/we-the-people-articles-and-bylaws) and is the next appropriate step an ongoing 14-year process to hold state and federal elected officials directly accountable to the federal Constitution by enforcing the Petition Clause of the First Amendment.
