THE
CASE for REFORMATION:
Concise reasoning to
support the abolition of the Federal government of the United States of America.
America has lost its way. From the two party system,
Which has proven inadequate to represent its constituencies on either side of
the aisle and succeed only in dividing this country based on juvenile party
grudges. To social security, The Patriot Act, and the utter disregard for the
sovereignty of the states and subsequently the people living therein from whom
the Federal Government (ironically) derives it’s power. The Federal Government
is like a cancer slowly taking away the rights of ‘we the people’. There are no
provisions under our current constitution that would allow the United States
Government to create a National bank, assume any role in public education or to
engage in war without declaration. Yet, we have the Federal Reserve, “no child
left behind” and an ongoing undeclared war in the Middle
East. Not only do we have a legislature out of control and an
executive branch which has been acting as a monarchical regime for the past
twenty years but we have a Judicial Branch legislating from the bench without
any accountability from the people, answering only to the other branches of the
Federal Government. The blatant disregard
for the will of the people and the misrepresentation perpetrated by our so
called representative government is becoming increasingly apparent. As an
American Citizen I am INCENSED by what is taking place before my eyes and the
lack of response by my fellow countrymen. This cannot continue unchecked. Now
more than ever it is obvious that the Federal Government and the manner in
which its powers are administered is our problem, not corporate executives or
foreign enemies. The Government should fear us, the governed, not the other way
around. To quote the Declaration of Independence, our true founding document, “We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are
instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its
foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to
them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” The founders
made it abundantly clear that it was essential that liberty be preserved by any
means necessary. It is in the best interest of the States based on the
grievances above listed to assemble their respective legislatures to introduce
and once again ratify the Articles of Confederation to alter our current form
of Government which has been destructive to this nations unalienable rights;
just as our founding fathers intended. The Ratification of the Articles of
Confederation would create a fundamental change in our Government for the
better. If ‘we the people’ are unable to alter our government by a peaceful
means then it is our right to abolish it by any means peaceful or otherwise. In
the event that the citizenry of these United States are unsuccessful in
instituting a new form of government we have but one last recourse. An Appeal
to Heaven.
