"Timid men prefer the calm of
despotism to the tempestuous sea of liberty."
~ Thomas Jefferson
Message from the Chairman:
Freedom is worth fighting for.
The Preamble
of our National Platform states:
"The Constitution for the United States of America was established as
an inspired ensign and standard of liberty for all. It is the only
constitution based foremost upon the rights and liberties of a free and
independent people who are superior to government, having government as
their servant rather than as their master. We revere the founding
documents of America, honor the men who framed them, and ascribe all honor
and glory to the God who inspired them. We claim, second to
worshiping God, that our greatest responsibility as Americans is vigilance
in protecting our God-given Constitution and rights, both for ourselves
and our posterity.
We assert that we are in a Constitutional crisis. The major
provisions of the Constitution are being compromised and our God-given
rights are being intruded upon or eliminated at an alarming rate.
Our educational, economic, social, and political institutions are becoming
more perverted. The rights and nature of our national sovereignty,
Judeo-Christian heritage, and traditional family, are under escalating
attack. We solemnly declare that our Constitution, liberties, and
national sovereignty currently hang by a thread. We assert
that institutionalized corruption and the loss of our rights and
liberties are unconstitutional, unacceptable and inexcusable.
We claim that our Constitutional Republic can still be fully restored
by lawful means, but only to the extent that We The People stand united
and vigilant, as never before, in the cause of freedom.
'The people [not government]... are the only sure reliance for the
preservation of our liberty.' Thomas Jefferson"

The
forces of totalitarianism are attacking our basic Freedoms and principles
enumerated in the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence, and our
Constitution. We are now embroiled in a desperate
battle with these forces to retain Freedoms bequeathed to us by the
Founders.
I am convinced that we shall be victorious in retaining our
Freedom and defeating the elitist organizations that have control of our
governmental process. The Spirit of Freedom is moving in mighty power
among the people in our nation. The great majority of
Americans still believe in the basic concepts of limited government and
Freedom for all people. There are literally
thousands of groups springing up now all across America dedicated to
defending Freedom in one area or another. I quote from Richard Paul
Evans in his book “The Letter”:
“It is often during the worst of times
that we see the best of humanity – awakening within the most ordinary of
us that which is most sublime. I do not believe that it is the
circumstances that produce such greatness anymore than it is the canvas
that makes the artist. Adversity merely presents the surface on which
we render our souls' most exacting likeness. It is in the darkest skies
that the stars are best seen.“
The greatness he speaks about lies within all of
us. Our potentials are largely untapped. Let us
therefore go forward in this epic endeavor to preserve Freedom and
exercise the leadership that Americans expect and deserve. To paraphrase
a statement made by Sir Winston Churchill in the dark days of the Battle
of Britain,
“Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties,
and so bear ourselves that, looking back on our victory, generations yet
unborn will say, 'This was Freedom's finest hour!”

Save our Constitution and Freedoms
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results
from too much government." ~ Thomas Jefferson
"Battle Hymn of the
Republic" - watch and listen - "get Patriotic!"
Watch both of the YouTube videos below and you will better
understand why gas prices are so high. Then, perhaps you will know
that the cause is the past Congressional laws and mandates that we now live
under; and the influence of the environmentalist lobby. It is going to
get worse because Congress is doing NOTHING about it. They have the power to
solve the problems, but they won't take the proper actions until we the
people hold their heads and feet to the fire of our indignation and anger.
This is also why we need to care about who gets elected and our
involvement in the political process to let our congressmen know our wishes.
Our government leaders have gotten away with a lot of unconstitutional
maneuvers over the past 90 years. They have undermined our freedom and the
American way. Now, all of us will suffer more and more under the yoke
they have and are placing upon us unless we rise up and get involved. Throw
out the incumbents. Choose good and honest men or women for office.

Subject: Facing The Crises To An Independent America
Oil and energy everywhere and they want to squash the independence of the
American people under the thumb of NWO corruption through a smokescreen of
failed Congressional action and inaction.
Let's stoke the fires of America's sense of righteous outrage.
If we fail to break out of this unnecessary energy crises, we will never
regain our American independence.
Sincerely,
Roger Tucker

Prayer
During the Constitutional Convention, Benjamin Franklin (at 81 years old)
made his famous plea for prayer:
"In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of
danger, we had daily prayers in this room for divine protection. Our
prayers, sir, were heard; and they were graciously answered. All of us who
were engaged in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a
superintending Providence in our favor. To that kind Providence we owe
this happy opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing
our future national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful
Friend? Or do we imagine that we no longer need [His] assistance? I have
lived, sir, a long time; and the longer I live the more convincing proofs
I see of this truth -- that God governs in the affairs of men. ...."
_____________________________________________
ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT
In
WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of peoplewho dropped what they
were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one
minute to collectively pray for the safety of
England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing
stopped.
There is now a group of people organizing the same
thing here in America.
If you would like to participate:
each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time
(8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain,
6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying
for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens and for
peace in the world.
If you know anyone who would like to participate,
please pass this along.
Someone said if people
really understood the full extent of the power we
have available through prayer, we
might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
Thank
You. Please pass this on to anyone who you think will follow thru.

INDEPENDENCE DAY 2008 – A DAY OF THANKSGIVING AND PRAYER
During the eight years of our War for Independence
with England, there were many instances of Divine intervention that were
recognized by both the British and the Colonists. The retreat
from Long Island, the first defense of Charleston, the battles of Trenton,
Kings Mountain, Cowpens, Saratoga, and Brandywine quickly come to mind.
During the war, the Continental Congress proclaimed many days of prayer
and thanksgiving in recognition of Divine favor. Since our basic
Freedoms are under attack from so many sources, it is altogether fitting
that this practice be continued,
Many time over the years we have suggested that a
special period of prayer be observed in recognition of Divine help or when
that help was particularly needed. This weekend, as we celebrate
Independence Day, is an appropriate time for prayer and thanksgiving.
We have had numerous victories for Freedom since last Independence Day and
gratitude to the Author of Freedom is totally becoming to a free people.
We have fought 'amnesty for illegal aliens'
battles multiple times this past year and have won every one. Late in
May of this year, two more amnesty attacks were defeated, making at
least six victories in the last year.
Since the Federal Government is unwilling to
enforce federal law concerning illegal aliens, many state and local
governments are enacting legislation to do just that. Most notable is
Oklahoma which requires employers to prove legality of employees.
After the law took effect, Oklahoma was the only state to have a
decrease in their unemployment rate as legal citizens took jobs
previously held by illegals. May this trend continue and spread
nationwide.
Nine state legislatures have rejected the Real
ID Act. Once again the states are rejecting big governments'
interference in state affairs.
There have been several court cases and
legislation positively affecting the Second Amendment. The latest is
the Supreme Court Decision this month that the Second Amendment is an
individual right. This may result in the overturning of some
restrictive gun laws. Firearms in the hands of a free people are a
threat only to tyrants.
The spirit of Freedom is moving among our
citizens. More and more citizens are taking an active roll in the
legislative process, and Congress is becoming more receptive to citizen
input. It is an election year and this is to be expected, but the
amount of input and the pro-Freedom tone of our citizens is surprising
to many veterans in Congress. May this process continue and
accelerate.
These victories or others you may remember are
just some of the things for which we might wish to thank the Father of us
all. Our Founding Fathers who gave us a Constitution which protects
our God-given rights and the Patriotic Americans who are now working to
preserve and restore our Freedoms are other reasons for gratitude.
You may wish to petition God that those who are
the enemies of Freedom have their political, monetary, and media support
diminished, while those who are preserving Freedom may have their efforts
multiplied.
The cause of Freedom will continue to grow until
America is once again the shining beacon on a hill proclaiming Freedom for
all mankind. May this be our prayer and remembrance on this
Independence Day weekend.
While you are celebrating Independence Day, take 10
minutes to read "The Declaration of Independence", to understand the
theory of Freedom enumerated there. As you are reading, see the
steps taken by the British to curtail Colonial Freedom and think of
the similar steps taken by our own Federal Government to curtail
our Freedom.
Please pass this along to anyone you think might be interested in joining
this list.
If you feel like you are on this list in error or would like to be
removed, simply reply with REMOVE in the subject line. You will be
removed immediately.
2 Chr. 7: 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

THE COMMITTEE OF
CORRESPONDENCE
A PLAN TO PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM
June 17, 2008
In the next few months there will be several issues for
which support in Congress should be mobilized. Among these are:
defeat of amnesty or citizenship for illegals,
defeat of United States integration with Canada and
Mexico,
reining in the maverick 9th District Court
in San Francisco,
and stopping the dilution of the Bill of
Rights Freedoms by Legislation or Executive Order.
We have a plan to mobilize support in Congress through a program of
constituent activity
(this means we need you!) Please study this plan and if
you agree with it, join with us in mobilizing the support in Congress that
is already there to preserve our Freedom.

Man, Freedom and Government: Understanding the proper role of
government. A 24-minute audio file by Ezra Taft Benson, former
Secretary of Agriculture, USA (early1960s); [format: WMA (Windows
Media Player)]. If you don't "get it" after hearing this, read
the Declaration of Independence and Constitution a few times, then
listen again. Repeat this process until it becomes plain and you
can't wait to take action.
Apathy and ignorance are KILLING America.
We need to learn what our Founders
knew and maintain the same principles in our day. Otherwise,
our Constitution and way of life will be taken away from us.
We need to better understand the principle
and purpose of the
separation of powers.
Our Founders discovered how to provide for freedom of the people and
at the same time to allow the government enough power to protect our
rights and opportunities. However, the pendulum has been allowed
to swing off center. We need to reign in the abuse and neglect
of our Constitutional Republic before it is too late.
The focus of most third parties is on
getting a proper President elected. Since both parties are controlled by
the eastern establishment, should a third party gain national presence that
establishment would attempt control of it as well.
We have formed a nationwide Activist Network called the
Committee of
Correspondence. The purpose of this Committee is to
positively influence Congress on Freedom issues. We choose the issues
upon which there is a broad base of support from the American people.
We have tested this program for over three years and it works very well.
