Let WE THE PEOPLE not be cowed into submission by the new monarchy that now fills every hall of government in America. Let WE THE PEOPLE not be silenced by those who would label us extremists, radicals or enemies of the state. Let WE THE PEOPLE stand and fight for our liberty, just as those great patriots of old bequeathed it unto us. Let WE THE PEOPLE take heed that the future of our children and the many generations that will follow looms in a darkening shadow. Let that FIRE that made this country the greatest the world has ever known burn fierce and bright within us once again. Let WE THE PEOPLE remember WHO WE ARE . . .
The great challenge of our society today is NOT the economy. It is NOT universal healthcare. It is NOT the threat of terrorism. It is NOT conservatism versus liberalism or even capitalism versus socialism. These are all symptoms of the same psychological condition that has spread like a virus across all of America and most of the Western world for the last 100 years. What ails our beloved country is amnesia. We have forgotten who we are. We have stopped leading and have embarked on a fruitless journey to find that perfect model of a king whom WE THE PEOPLE can follow. We seek a king who will solve our problems for us. Why? We simply lack the faith to rely upon one of God’s greatest gifts—the human spirit.
So who are WE THE PEOPLE? From where does that strength and perseverance that built our great nation derive? We are the guardians of the American Dream. We are the descendents of 500 years of born fighters, whose bold vision of a brighter future for their families and their generations led them to the shores of a New World, their Promised Land. We are the children of men and women who braved the deadly Seven Seas, carved their homes out of a wild and savage land, and survived only by their grit, the sweat of their brows, blood of their flesh, and that mysterious and elusive thing called Faith. Without Faith, burning with the brightness of the sun, fueled by righteous and noble action in the face of great adversity, our more perfect union would have never been.
This New World of ours has been the beacon of freedom and opportunity that has led millions of immigrants to our shores for centuries. In World War I and II, WE THE PEOPLE again took to the Seven Seas and demonstrated to the tyrants of the Old World just how mighty a free people can be. Since then, it seems that the root of our strength is recognized more readily by every nation of the world than it is by our own citizenry. Indeed, our children don’t even know their own rich heritage, a core that is older than our Revolution, even older than the vision of Columbus. WE THE PEOPLE are born of an exceptional stock of individuals who no more would bend under the whip of their oppressors, no more would be complacent, submit, or stand idly by while their brethren suffered in the face of tyranny. The giants of history who forged our American Dream are not merely our Founding Fathers, but exist in each and every one of our ancestries. That fire of liberty that burned so brightly in them has been passed down by their bloodlines to us. In some of WE THE PEOPLE today, it burns bright again. In some, it flickers with only a glimmer of its true potential, and yes, in some it has burned out. Nonetheless, like all matters of the spirit, the right catalyst will set it ablaze once more. For those of us in whom that has already occurred, our calling is to awaken our brothers and sisters of liberty to their true identity. It must be today, however, that we accept this charge and quickly set about our work. Tomorrow will be too late. Tomorrow is the future already set into motion by those who loved the darkness and would surely lead us into bondage. Tomorrow will not wait for us. We must rise up now, no matter how steep the climb, no matter how they may chastise us, no matter what the sacrifice. We must rise up and forge a new tomorrow, in which our American Dream is preserved.
But what are WE THE PEOPLE to do? Where do we begin to reclaim our country from those thieves who called themselves politicians and servants of the people? If WE THE PEOPLE can remember who we are, then the answers to those questions are simple. Are we among the many, or the unfortunate and disenfranchised few? Are we a silent majority, or are we an untamed raucous bunch with too much time on our hands? Remember yourselves America! We are NOT a political party. We are NOT an ideology. We are NOT a race, creed or religion. Out of many, we are the people of One Nation Under GOD, With Liberty And Justice For All! WE THE PEOPLE are the three most powerful words society has ever known, because WE THE PEOPLE can accomplish the impossible, defy the indomitable and defeat the worst the world has to throw at us. If WE THE PEOPLE wake up and realize that WE are all in this fight together, then the fight of our times becomes clear. There are only two sides to this conflict; those who wish to rule over the people and the people themselves.
So who are WE THE PEOPLE? We are born rebels, fighters, the fierce, the brave and the free. WE THE PEOPLE of the United States of America must bow to no king, lest we dishonor the memory of every patriot who shed their blood to preserve our great nation. Let it be heard from every rooftop in America in every generation, “Give Me No King!” Only then, will our liberty continue to burn bright. Only then, will WE THE PEOPLE reclaim our identity. Only then, will the kings and tyrants of the world bow before us, as they once did.
