Washington DC, August 14, 2000
The second year of the March for Liberty is a GO! The National Park Service
has provided a public gathering permit (dated: 02/22/00 #00-0460) for a
PRO-Constitution rally supported by American patriots from across America. This
event is scheduled on Saturday, October 7, 2000 to be held at the Lincoln
Memorial at the steps (reflecting pool) from 9AM-6PM. Many speakers will attend.
<<<Text of announcement follows>>>
As we are about to embark upon the 21st century and the year 2000 elections,
the citizens of the United States can be proud of the great accomplishments
toward the ever expanding influence of Liberty.
America's freedom serves as an icon, second to none in the world; an example
of the blessings that shower upon her as a result of respecting one another,
taking personal responsibility for one's actions, valuing hard work, building
strong families, and embracing a deep abiding faith in the hand of Providence.
However, with those blessings of Liberty comes an awesome responsibility. It
is within the expectation of Providence that where "much is given, much is
required." We are the stewards of this land. We are the nurturers of
independence. And it is we who will ultimately pay the price by facing the
consequences of our apathy if we continually allow our Liberty blessings to slip
away.
Instead, we must mount the steed, snap the reigns, and thrust our banner high
in the air, a banner that reads: Wake Up America! Take up your place and stand
your ground in the cause of Liberty!" We must awaken the populace to the
violation of the rule of law by the imposing of unjust legislation, unjust court
decisions, unjust policy making, and unjust Executive Orders. In addition to the
perversion of the system, we see the slow erosion of our nation's sovereignty
through the agenda-driven arrogance of our entrusted elected officials, and
their blatant unwillingness to represent the real pulse of the American people.
We have witnessed how that self-serving representation has catered to the powers
of economic and political globalization at the expense of our nation's honor and
integrity.
Yet most Americans sit complacently under the umbrella of economic
prosperity. We observe a world that puts self (money) before principle and how
this mentality is destroying the very fabric of "life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness."
There is a growing sentiment that all organizations which are dedicated to
preserving and defending the Constitution need to join together under one
banner, a banner which will, simply, seek to re-define the Constitution as the
cornerstone of America, and to reclaim those parts of it which have been
dismantled by the enemies of America, both foreign and domestic.
Such is the focus for the March for Liberty. The march is nothing new,
nothing profound; it is merely the reemergence of an old idea; an idea that is
grounded in an ageless endowment: The idea that we have a right to peaceably
assemble; to redress our grievances; to shake our very fists at the
Establishment declaring, "We are not going to take it anymore! We are
sickened by the selling out of our moral authority for opportunistic economic
policy with communist countries. We are FED up with the slow, yet obvious
abdication of our sovereignty to the UN. We are indignant with the level of
taxation and the unwillingness to return our hard earned dollar even in times of
plenty. We are mortified by persistent funding of a failed welfare state only to
see it being projected on the world at large. We are "sick and tired of
being sick and tired!"
Patriots, hear the call of Providence to rise up and return to the simple
order of thingsan order that was carefully laid out by our Founders, with a
vision unmatched in the history of mankind. Such is the objective to March for
Liberty. It is not an Organization. It is not a Corporation. It is not a special
interest group. It is a forum!
A forum for which family building, freedom loving, God fearing, peoples of
this land can advance their grievances and petition our elected officials to get
their self-serving behaviors back on track or, they will be ousted!
March for Liberty is a forum for the largest Political Action Committee in
the land; and the name of that PAC is WTPOTUS, which is to say,
WeThePeopleOfTheUnitedStates. MarchforLiberty will serve as a voice.
Gently, yet boldly, encouraging our fellow Americans to use their affluence,
as well as their influence, to warn those who are seeking to steal our liberties
and the very sovereignty of our nation, that we will not sit idly by while that
which was gained for us through the sacrifice of those who went beforeour
rightful freedom inheritanceis taken from us.
Such is our prayer for the March for Liberty: That we might gather as a
unified body and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow patriots; so that we might
mushroom our concerns and awaken Main Street, as well as Wall Street; small
town, as well as big city; grassroots, as well as disconnected pockets of
Americans all over this great land.
As all the ships of Freedom sail helpless in the fog of obscurity, March for
Liberty is a beacon that brings us all to dock on the shores of unity. And just
as the sun rises ever so slowly on dawn's horizon and gradually dissipates the
thick fogs of the night, so can WTPOTUS evaporate the forthcoming fog of
tyranny.
