Republic Restoration Initiative

Republic Restoration

Position Papers

I find America's greatest need to be a leadership team for patriotic Americans having a viable plan and the tools to implement it. I suggest the team should begin by issuing position papers that will secure for it the legal and moral high ground. Two suggested papers follow.

POSITION PAPER #1

Every American should agree with the following facts and those who do should be willing to help implement a plan dedicated to the restoration of our Republic.

1. God rules the universe; he always has and always will.
2. America's PROBLEM is that too many people have failed to honor James 4:17 saying "he that knoweth to do right and doeth it not to him it is a sin."
3. A result of this PROBLEM is Federal action that has exceeded the clear bounds of its jurisdiction under the Constitution and thus violated people's rights as alleged by 30 Republican governors in 1994.
4. To correct this result we must restore to the states and the people the prerogatives and freedoms guaranteed them under the Constitution as the governors pledged to do; a satisfactory GOAL.
5. To realize this goal we must recognize the importance of Medori Severi's remark saying: "unless and until we abandon our manifold private agendas and unite, we will merely be hapless observers standing at the bottom of a dark, deep pit, wistfully hoping to save the world, but really doing little more than breaking the fall of compatriots who are pushed in on top of us....." and honor his advice.
6. Knowledge minus meaningful action results in frustration, apathy and an eventual sense of hopelessness; a condition many Americans find themselves in. It is therefore urgent and essential a movement dedicated to the restoration of our Republic be created.
7. Every meeting and communication failing to help produce an army is a failure. A requisite to producing an army is to subscribe to service which we maintain every God fearing American should do.

POSITION PAPER #2

Following are facts upon which this leadership team will base its decisions. We have determined them to be true and accept that only by knowing the truth and acting accordingly can we succeed in restoring our Republic and the freedom intended for all Americans.

A. The Declaration of Independence is our Nation's birth certificate and our Constitution's cornerstone. For lawful government to exist, there must be strict compliance with the principles and policies set forth in these documents and the Bill of Rights when interpreted in the spirit and intent of America's founding fathers.

B. Through the Constitution, States created the federal government as their AGENT. As the principals to the Constitution and under the Law of Agency, our States possess the ultimate authority and responsibility for the proper interpretation and implementation of the Constitution.

C. In consideration of the power granted to the Federal government by the States, each State is guaranteed a Republican form of government by Art. IV, Sec. 4 of the Constitution.

D. Treaties, being the purview of the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, cannot lawfully create new or modify existing law as Art. 1 Sec. 1 of our Constitution vested all legislative powers in the Congress which includes the House of Representatives which has no authority regarding Treaties. Therefore, any pretense to use Treaties to create or modify our laws is an unlawful act.

E. The Constitution's 10th Amendment stating "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution...are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people" provides incontestable evidence that the only lawful powers of the Federal Government are those specifically enumerated in the Constitution.

F. No elected or appointed official has - nor has had - any lawful authority to alter the intent of our Nation's founding fathers as set forth in the policies, procedures, and principles found in America's Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights be it by Executive Order, Supreme Court decision, Presidential Decision Directive, Constitutional Amendment, Proclamation, or other writings.

G. The U. S. Supreme Court was correct in saying:

1. "This Court has regularly and uniformly recognized the supremacy of the Constitution over a treaty" and it would be manifestly contrary to the objectives of those who created the Constitution, let alone alien to our Constitutional history and tradition to construe Article 6 as permitting the United States to exercise power under an international agreement without observing Constitutional prohibitions. (Reid vs Covert)
2. "a law repugnant to the Constitution is void." (Marbury vs Madison)
3. "Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them." (Miranda vs Arizona)
4. Whatever the outer limits of the (states) Sovereignty may be, one thing is clear; the Federal Government may not compel the States to enact or administer a Federal regulatory program. Where Congress exceeds its authority relative to the States, departure from the constitutional plan cannot be ratified by consent of State officials. New York vs. United States112 S. Ct 2408 (1992)

H. Since government was created to secure people's unalienable Rights, any government Act that has diminished or destroyed anyone's ability to enjoy a Right is an illegal Act and those responsible for it and/or its perpetuation are guilty of one or more crimes cited in Title 18 of the U. S. Criminal Code.
