Bailouts, layoffs, foreclosures, social decay, family destruction and endless wars. Most do not know it, but virtually every problem that America now suffers is the direct result of violations of the Constitution by our (servant) government.
Finally, there is hope. This November, publicly elected citizen-delegates representing the people of each state will convene at a national assembly known as “Continental Congress 2009.”
The purpose of this historic event is to formally document the violations and develop strategies the people can employ to peacefully resist tyranny and restore constitutional order.
It’s time to hold our servant government accountable and reclaim the Light of Liberty. Learn more about CC2009 and the true power of popular sovereignty at www.givemeliberty.org.
