THE COMMITTEE OF CORRESPONDENCE

A PLAN TO PRESERVE OUR FREEDOM

 

There are many issues for which support in Congress should be mobilized.  

Among these are:

 

1) Defeat for amnesty or citizenship for illegals,

2) Defeat for United States integration with Canada and Mexico,

3) Reining in the maverick 9th District Court of San Francisco, and

4) Stop the dilution of Bill of Rights Freedoms by Legislation, Judicial lawmaking or Executive Order lawmaking.  Note: Congress is the only branch of our government that has the power to make laws.  That is why they are re-elected every 2 or 6 years.  They are our local representatives.  It is usurpation of power and a violation of our Constitution when either the President or the Supreme Court declares law.   Our Founders plainly knew this and wrote the Constitution to "bind them down by the chains of the Constitution".  It also eliminates the important checks and balances written into the Constitution.

 

Below is a plan to mobilize support in Congress through a program of constituent activity.    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.

 

June 17, 2008 

There are 22 Senators and 172 Members of the House whose current Freedom Index is  50% or better.     The Freedom Index is a measure of how many times the Freedom position is supported by an individual member of  the Congress.

There are 16 Senators and 108 Members of the House whose current Freedom Index is is from 40%  to 49%.     The fact that these Members of the Congress vote at least 40% for Freedom is an indication that the hold of the Beltway Insiders on them is not as strong as it is with some in the Congress.     It also indicates that they may be influenced by their constituents closer to a Freedom position more easily than others.     Many of these Senators and Representatives vote for Freedom with only token support from these constituents.

As constituents, we tend to communicate with our representatives only when we want something done.  We usually fail to congratulate them on votes well made or hold them accountable when the Freedom position is abandoned.

The Beltway Insiders are more wise.   They are in constant communication with those in Congress they wish to influence, praising and congratulating them for votes that support the Insiders' agenda, and remembering votes that went awry.

The promoters of Freedom are often perceived as ungrateful, chronic complainers, while the enemies of Freedom are cast in the role of supporters to the Representatives' goal of remaining in Congress.   

We must take a more positive role in our interaction with Congress.   If we expect to retain and enhance our Freedom, we must change our perceived role to one of support of those Representatives who vote for Freedom. 

If the members of Congress who vote for Freedom at least half of the time were supported by a group of from 100 to 300 constituents per Congressional District, their voting record would improve and they would begin to be unshakable in their support of Freedom.    Their principled stand would attract others in Congress to the Freedom Cause and so we will begin to reverse our long slide into a collectivist tyranny.  

 As the Freedom position becomes more popular, those wishing to retain their Congressional seats will be drawn to support Freedom issues.  It is our opportunity, our duty, and our destiny as Americans to support Freedom voting Senators and Representatives, and to gather like-minded constituents in each Congressional District who will do the same.

This group of activist constituents in each Congressional District will be known as the Committee of Correspondence.   By the election in November 2008, we will have Committees started in most Congressional Districts and will be close to completing the 100 to 300 constituents needed in a goodly number of the most  critical Congressional Districts.

I believe there is time to rally 100 to 300 activists into a Committee of Correspondence in many Congressional Districts and thereby change the direction of Congress.   Building the Committees of Correspondence is not glamorous, high profile work, but from this foundation so painstakingly laid, many glorious victories for Freedom will be won in the near future.    Our 24% in the Senate, and our 40% in the House will grow into an overwhelming majority in the Congress who vote to regain our Freedom.   

Since Congress has the authority and duty to regulate the activities of the Judicial and Executive Branches, our Freedom as envisioned by the Founders will be returned.   I believe this is the only way that we, as Americans, can fulfill our destiny in helping to preserve the Freedom of the United States of America.    

It is not necessary to join the Independent American Party in order to become fully active in the Committee of Correspondence.       We invite all Freedom loving Americans to join the Committee of Correspondence and help us regain Freedom for generations yet unborn.  Please click on this link to join us in this epic endeavor: Click here to join.
