To what lengths would you go to protect your baby, your child?  How far would you go to protect your family from a rogue elephant, or a lion, or tiger or some other wild animal that might be found in an African Jungle?  How far would you go to protect your child from a polar bear, or a grizzly, or a wildcat of the American Mountains and deserts and forests?

I consider the United States of America my child.  I put myself in harm's way to protect that child from some form of menace that was coming from the fetid swamps of Southeast Asia in the late sixties.  Though vilification met me upon my return home, I still was proud that I had done my duty to my country - MY country. 

I have two children.  I placed myself in danger twice to protect my children.  I was very afraid at the time, but my son was in grave danger, or so I thought.  My daughter was being chased by two pit bulls, but made it into the house without harm, but I went out and confronted the dogs and their owner.  Those dogs bothered no one thereafter.  I am not a hero, I just done what was necessary to protect my children. 

The United States of America is yours and mine.  We must protect it.  We must wrest it from the hooligans that have kidnapped our child and is holding it for ransom.  The ransom is our natural right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, among many others.  The scoundrels that have hijacked the ship of state want you and me to capitulate, and acknowledge that they have all of the power.  Are we going to do it?

The men at the Alamo - remember the Alamo? - gave their lives before they would allow themselves to be captured or enslaved.  Will we do the same?

The men at the Alamo fought like - well, like men.  We have been taught by the experimental psychologists that we should give up our freedoms if confronted by someone with a gun or a knife who demands our goods or we will be killed.  Is the next breath that important?  Is one more day in this vale of tears worth our manhood?

We have a team of doctors operating on our child who have had no training in the field.  Our baby is near death!  What are we to do about it?  Can a new team of doctors do any better?  How well trained is this new team that is coming in November?  Can they do the job?

Perhaps they can help to delay the death long enough that our baby can heal.

In the meantime, let's educate our friends and neighbors as to what our very few options are.  Let's exhort our friends and neighbors to get out and vote.  This may be the most important election in our history.  It can make or break us. 

Let's redouble our efforts and get people to the polls. 

Let's save our child and nurture it back to health.

Thank you,

Robert Walker

Rightsmen, It is a great picture you draw and I was with you until you got to the election as our way out. Yes we should but will we get enough like minded people in office from this election? Very doubtful. Here is the problem; we presently have a democracy where those who produce nothing can support those who produce nothing of value. Those promoting no production encourage those who do not wish to produce to vote for them throwing off the balance of educated decision making. Since producing educates and producing nothing does not educate at all, voting becomes done on bad or no education at all. Since there is far more no producing than producing these days the nonproducing have a greater hold on the producing. I say that because Government, the biggest employer of America is filled with non producing workers producing nothing of value and making choices based on securing their position over what is the correct thing to do. Even those in the military fighting for our country do not produce what people need and want only what some need and want. Under attack they would produce protection but when going to other countries that are not attacking and spending endless years of destroying does production and justification to be there falter. Our best possible action will be to confront those doing the acts of tyranny in this country. Backing bills that grow Government and false wars is tyranny and far from acts of Liberty. It is the producing Americans doing the acts of Liberty that will bring back Liberty and this will allow Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. It will not fall out of the sky by a vote; it will be done by us taking our responsibility as Americans to hold those accountable for their acts apposing liberty that will. This includes those in Congress, the Senate, the Presidency, the Banking industry and our corporations involved in this global economy bull crap. These are our internal enemies who are ripping apart America limb by limb with no consideration at all for you and your children. Let’s END the FED and kill the beast and bring on Liberty.

Willij4lib, I agree that we may not get enough of the right kind of people elected. What else can we do at this point? I have gotten a small number of people interested in the election. If I can keep their interest, and urge them to continue to take some action each day, even if the action is not very productive, it is an action. Reports vary on the number of people who are dependent on a government for their livelihood, but it is around 50% of the American people. 46% of the American people receive some sort of subsistence from the government. We are a nation on welfare, and this must change. You write well, but you can't convince me that not voting is the answer. It is an action. The number of people who will vote in this mid-term election will near the number who voted in the 2008 election. The television will have been turned off for at least that period of time. Reid's attempt to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens was shot down. That was action by Americans!! It made me want to scream and shout with joy! Not much maybe, but it's something. Thanks for your response, it is greatly appreciated. Peace and Love, Robert Walker

You are right rightsman, I would not advocate not voting at all, I am only stating my own findings and especially our last election. Far too many are voting to get support for themselves verses supporting themselves. To protect them from the big bad monster only their protection is the big bad monster. I am also very much with you on Reid’s failed plot and I agree it was total action. Believe me I have my fingers crossed and I educate daily and have several I am educating who have done well and are standing on the side of Liberty. I am all about the numbers and raising the bar and I will not give up but I can attest I am tired as hell. I am hoping it is people like yourself I am in arms with and through persistence we shall carry out actions and achieve liberty. Stating the obstacles are high only means much more work needs to be done. I appreciate your comments as well and look forward to working with you in achieving Liberty in our future, our children need good role models and understanding of what it takes to stand united for such a cause. Liberty, William Schooler

Amendment IX  The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. 

The people have all rights reserved to them under any and all circumstances.  Among the rights so retained, is the right to refrain from exercising a right.  The right is still there, unsullied, and in its perfect form. We agreed to refrain from exercising some of our rights in order to form a more perfect union.  A dike was erected between the people and the government, and that dike is called the Constitution of the United States of America.  The government found a hole in the dike, and there was no finger large enough to plug that hole.  The hole is the complacency and the apathy of too many of the American people.  A trickle of rules and regulations that were meant for the government has eroded and almost completely destroyed the dike.  It can be repaired.

Our Constitution was ratified in order to ensure that no goernment would or could interfere with the natural and inherent rights of the individual.  Our Constitution empowered a legislative body to legislate in a very limited area and with a very limited purview.  By the time our soon to be great nation was ten years old, the government had made attempts to suppress the right of the people exercise free speech, or a free press.  One man, with help, saved the day.  That man was Thomas Jefferson using the vehicle of the Kentucky Resolutions to put in place safeguards that would ultimately repel the oppression of the people in power in the Government. 

There is a maxim in law that a law can be made "void for vagueness".  The abomination that is called ObamaCare is 2,700 pages long with references to other bills and laws that must be referred to in their entirety in order to understand the Health Care Bill.  One of those laws or books of regulations is the Internal Revenue Code.  (A Code is a secret method of communicating so that it cannot be understood by anyone outside the inner circle of those who receive the communication.)  The rules and regulations of the Internal Revenue Code runs, by one report, to more than 30,000 pages, but no one is sure, not even the commissar of the IRS.  Therefore, the entire Health Care Bill can be voided on the issue of vagueness alone, in my opinion. 

Amendment X

The powers not delegated to the United States in the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The powers not delegated...  The Federal Government was granted limited powers to legislate for itself and those who worked for that government, as well as for the property within the boundaries of its very limited acreage and needful buildings.  The Federal Government had no power to enact legislation that acted upon the general population.  The Federal Government and the employees and elected officials were both the subject and the object of the early legislation, not the people.

Section 2 of Amendment XIII is the first instance in the Constitution that I can find that the Congress of the United States took it upon itself to enact legislation that acted upon the people, and that opened the floodgates.

The actions of groups of interested men and women (individuals) bringing the tenth amendment into play is of the utmost importance to restoring our Republic. 

Arizona's law SB 1070 is a fine example of a State exercising the right and power of a State to enact legislation to protect its citizens and to refute the power grab by the abomination now fouling the air of the our house at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D. C.

The selective enforcement of voting laws by the Department of Justice is just one example of a governor bent on the destruction of our nation. 

I applaud the two Republicans in Washington State who introduced legislation to nullify the Health Care Bill by ensuring the people of that great State will have the natural and inherent right to opt out of the Health Care Bill's atrocious attempt at suppression.

The legislators in Arizona should be respected and applauded for the stand they have taken against the over reaching Federal Government.

Our Republic can be restored.  We can do it.  The question is: Will we do it?  Will the president be ousted by a military coup, a great fear of mine, or will we have the opportunity to vote him out in 2012?

It is up to you, you, and you as well as me.  Let us use what was given us in the amendments to the Constitution, Articles IX and X.  Let's use them to the fullest.  Let's use them now in order to prevent resorting to other means that are less pleasant.  WE CAN DO IT!

Thank you,

Robert Walker

I see what you are saying about the 9th amendment. The federal government has no power to regulate our health so that right is retained by the people.

Posted 07/19/10 rightsman Las Vegas,, NV

T. Paine, That is it exactly! The people have been bamboozled by the government and the main stream media, with the help of the Education System into believing that rights come from the government. Civil rights, are, in reality, privileges allowed by a government. Civil is government. Human rights, as described by the United Nations, are rights that come from humans. Our natural and inherent rights come from Nature and Nature's God. Governments only interfere with the power to exercise those rights. Thank you, Robert Walker

Thank you Robert, very well stated. We have tools they must be applied to cause the ripple effect and change the course. WE the PEOPLE unite in this action or we fail from no attempt. LIBERTY!!!

"Know Your Rights!"  That is an order.

I am a very selfish man.  The reason that I would like for everyone to know his or her rights and know how to assume the powers to exercise those rights, is because that is the only way my rights can be protected.

We must be able to exercise our rights.  If a thug with a gun enters your home, and you are unarmed, you do not have the power to exercise your right to protect your property and to defend yourself and loved ones, if you have any.  It makes no difference if the thug is wearing a uniform of some kind and is committing the atrocity at the behest of and under the auspices of a government - your ablsolute right to self defense cannot be exercised.  You have that right, but it cannot be exercised.

The One, the Is, the All, the Power, the Author of the Universe, the Creator, by whatever name your Creator is known to you, makes little difference unless you, through the use of force, intimidation, or coercion insist that I call my Creator by the same name you have given your Creator.  If you insist on that, you are interfering with my power to exercise my natural and inherent right.

You have the natural right to call your God by whatever name you choose.  You may call your Creator Vishnu or Krishna, Jehovah or Allah, Henry or Georgie-boy, it makes absolutely no difference to me as long as you do not attempt to kill me or do some other damage, because I want name my Creator something different than the name you have given yours.

We have the right to breathe.  We have the responsibility to keep on breathing.

We have the right to food.  We have the responsibility to earn that food.

We have the right to shelter and clothing.  We have the responsibility to provide that shelter and clothing for ourselves.

Do we have the responsibility to provide for those who refuse to provide for themselves?  I think not.

We have the right to decide how to dispose of our property.  If we choose to help a neighbor or loved one, that is our right.  We should choose.  The choice should not be made by some faceless bureaucrat in Liechtenstein who thinks that he or she knows what is best for every human being on this ball of mud. 

That bureaucrat has quite possibly never calloused his hands by using a shovel, or an axe.  He has quite likely never been a sanitation engineer on a dairy farm, though he has learned how to sling the brown stuff.  He has no concept of how the food that is served to him got to his table.  He does not stand in  line at the grocery store, nor wait at an airport.  Boiling water would surpass his ability.  Yet, he deems himself so all knowing that he will dictate to all and sundry how to live.

If we assume the powers given to each of us to exercise our natural and inherent rights, we will be better off. 

If we assume the power to exercise our natural right to travel without any licensure by any government, to our house of worship, by whatever means available, we will be better off.  If we purchase a care and choose to use it, providing we harmed no one in the purchase, and the use, to travel to the grocery store, and buy the week's victuals, who rightly has the power to interfere?  I say, "No one."

By what right does a government, instituted by men, take money form one's income to distribute to those who will not earn any income?  There is no such right as that.  There is power, though.  Power from the threat of fines and imprisonment, and such threats are carried out daily in this nation of free men and women.  The power of sending a missile from the end of a tube of steel through the air to knock one's life out of one's body, is an awesome power.  The threat of using that power is intimidating.  It could be called a terror.

However awesome that power might be, though, it cannot be compared to the awesome power of the Creator, by whatever name you might address him.

Assume the power.  Exercise your rights.

"What, then, is legislation?  It is an assumption by one man, or body of men, of absolute, irresponsible dominion over all other men whom they can subject to their power.  It is an assumption by one man, or body of men, of a right to subject all other men to their will and their service.  It is an assumption by one man, or body of men, of a right to abolish ourtright all the natural rights, all the natural liberty of all other men; to make all other men their slaves, to arbitrarily dictate to all other men what they may, and may not do; what they may, and may not, have; what they may and may not, be.  It is, in short, the assumption of a right to banish the principle of human rights, the principle of justice itself, from off the earth, and set up their own personal will, pleasure, and interest in its place.  All this, and nothing less, is involved in the very idea that there can be any such thing as legislation that is obligatory upon those upon whom it is imposed."    Lysander Spooner

What, then, is freedom?  It is an assumption by some members of the human race of absolute responsible dominion over themselves and their property.  It is an assumption by some members of the human race, that each individual is responsible for his own condition; his/her own prosperity, or lack thereof; his/her own education; his/her own health and care of health.  It is an assumption by some members of the human race to take care of oneself; what he/she may or may not do; what he/she may, or may not, be.  It is, in short, the assumption by some members of the human race to protect, cherish, and preserve the freedoms and rights granted by the Creator as granted at conception.  It is the assumption by some members of the human race to protect the principle of human rights, the principle of justice, so that it never perishes from the face of the earth.  All this, and nothing less, is involved in the very idea of freedom.

An old Japanese adage advises us that the other side of a coin has another side.  Lysander Spooner was an anarchist that started his own Post Office in New York around 1850, but the Federal Government put him out of business.

Let us not always look at the negative side of the government's intervention in our lives; let us look at what we can do to prevent such intervention.  We do have natural and inherent rights.  They are ours and they are absolutely perfect.  The power to exercise those rights is, however, imperfect.  That imperfection gives the government and other criminals the opportunity to interfere in our daily lives to the extent that we cannot spend the money we earn in the manner in which we see fit.

Do you know, then, what your rights are?  They are many and valuable.  The only way to protect those rights is to use the power to exercise those rights.   Use that power in the face of all that is evil.  My life is not worth preserving at any cost.  My power to exercise my rights is worth protecting at any and all costs.  What say you?

Thank you,

Robert Walker

On the last day of the Constitutional Convention, Franklin rose with a speech he had written and was read by Mr. Wilson:

"I confess that there are several parts of this Constitutin which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them; for, having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.  It is therefore that the older I grow the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment and to pay attention to the judgment of others. Most men, indeed, as well as most sects in religion think themselves in possession of all truth.  But though many private persons think almost as highly of their infallibility as of that of their sect, few express it so naturally as a certain French lady who in a dispute with her sister said: 'I don't know how it happens, sister, but I meet with nobody but myself that's always in the right.'

In these sentiments, sir, I agree to this Constitution with all its faults, if they are such; because I think a general government necessary for us, and there is no form of government but what may be a blessing to the people if well administered; and believe farther that this is likely to be well administereed for a course of years and can only end in despotism, as other forms have done before it, when the people shall become so corrupt as to need despotic government, being incapable of any other. ..."        in part

Have we become so corrupt ourselves that despotic government is what we need?  How many can honestly say that we have not taken some advantage whether in government or out?  Are we the people so corrupt that a Kenyan with a messianic complex is needed to govern us?  Are we become so corrupt that Nancy Pelosi is considered a leader?  Are we become so corrupt that Harry Reid is looked up to? 

I think that there is only one answer will fit all of the above questions.  And that answer is a resounding "NO!" 

The State Legislatures must take action.  Some have done so with resolutions and such, but many more must come to their collective senses and stand on States' Rights. 

Now is the time for every man and woman to come to the aid of their country!  Now is the time for those with the ability to become the City Councils, County Commissions, and the State Legislators. 

Let's Rally 'Round the State Flags!  Now is the time.

Thank you,

Robert Walker
