Daily Herald | 'Continental Congress' unveils 'Articles of Freedom' in St. Charles
They're not necessarily liberals, conservatives or Libertarians.
Their uniting belief is that the government, namely federal but those of the states as well, has systemically violated the U.S. Constitution for decades.
And like the Founding Fathers more than 200 years ago, they believe the nation has reached a critical mass -- a situation so dire that it required an 11-day Continental Congress, spearheaded by the Queensbury, New York-based group, We The People Foundation.
The end result: a final version of "Articles of Freedom" drawn up and ratified by representatives from 47 of 50 states.
"Our purpose is to restore Constitutional governance. The federal government has gotten out of hand and strayed egregiously" from what the Founding Fathers intended, said Kenneth Lucier, a delegate from Minnesota and one 100 delegates at the Pheasant Run Resort in St. Charles Saturday.
"Our purpose here is not to change the Constitution. We can't do that. We just want to hold our government accountable to the existing Constitution," Lucier said.
The group spelled out how it believes the government over the years has violated the Constitution when it came to: The Patriot Act; the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; federal income taxes; gun control laws; illegal immigration; the Federal Reserve; and other topics.
They plan to present the document to all members of Congress and the executive branch. If the government takes no action, they are prepared to "withdraw our financial support from the federal government."
In other words, stop paying taxes.
Marc Messina, the We The People Congress Wisconsin state coordinator, said the Founding Fathers held a Continental Congress in 1774 without guaranteed response from the English monarchy.
"They (the government) have not responded, so this is the next step," he said. "We're holding a Continental Congress to hold our government responsible to take action. There was nothing certain in the first Continental Congress. The only thing certain is if we take no action."
Members of the delegation streamed video, shot out e-mails and made on-the-fly updates for youtube.com to help get their message out.
They held tightly to the First Amendment language that says citizen have, in addition to freedom of speech, the press and religion, "the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
Edward Vallejo, a delegate from Arizona and U.S. Army veteran, said the courts have ruled that the people can petition the government all they want, but are not guaranteed a right to be heard or right to a response or answer.
"That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard in my life," he said.

Tareq And Michaele Salahi: White House Party Crashers Walk Into State Dinner, Put Arm Around Joe Biden (VIDEO)
More from the Associated Press:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Crashing a state dinner at the White House apparently takes a security breakdown as well as some kind of nerve.
The Secret Service is looking into its own security procedures after determining that a Virginia couple, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, managed to slip into Tuesday night's state dinner at the White House even though they were not on the guest list, agency spokesman Ed Donovan said.
President Barack Obama was never in any danger because the party crashers went through the same security screening for weapons as the 300-plus people actually invited to the dinner honoring Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Donovan said.
Donovan confirmed the identities of the couple. The Washington Post, which first reported on their evening out, said the Salahis were well-known in the Virginia horse-country set.

The billboard, located at 4855 Miller Road, shows two cartoonish images of Obama wearing a Muslim turban and reads "PRESIDENT or JIHAD?"
It also says "BIRTH CERTIFICATE - PROVE IT!" alluding to the conspiracy theory which claims Barack Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii, which would disqualify him for the office of President.
The words "WAKE UP AMERICA! REMEMBER FT. HOOD!" appear on the bottom of the billboard.
The sign belongs to a car dealership.
"Since Fort Hood, I've had it," owner Phil Wolf told FOX 31 News Friday. "You can't suggest things. You can't profile. You gotta call a spade a spade."

![]() 'New Continental Congress' session in St. Charles, Ill. |
Meeting Nov. 11-21 in St. Charles, Ill., delegates from across the nation gathered to publicly debate the government's "abuses of the Constitution and to consider practical strategies which can bring about compliance with our Freedom documents, not only in our government at all levels, but in our individual lives."
The delegates produced Articles of Freedom which assert "the time has come to reassert our God-given natural rights and cast off tyranny."
"Let the facts reveal – the Federal Government of the United States of America, which was instituted to protect the rights of individual citizens, instead – threatens our life, liberty and property

Alan Colmes' Liberaland » Billboard Warns: “Prepare For War” Against Government
A new billboard off of Interstate 70 in Missouri provides a short “citizens guide to REVOLUTION of a corrupt government” and issues a call to “PREPARE FOR WAR.”
(h/t ThinkProgress)

This billboard replaces one that warned that the socialist “Obama-Nation” is “coming for you.” It’s unclear who the owner of the billboard is, but the first one was the work of a “Missouri businessman.”
While it’s unclear who owns it, the Lafayette County Republican Central Committee seems to endorse it.

Merkel Challenges Obama to Join “World Order”
“We Europeans are used to this,” she said. “We have voluntarily given up many of our powers to Brussels and to the European Union. But our American partners find it much more difficult to hand over powers to the International Monetary Fund or to any other international organisation.”
“This world will only be a peaceful and good world if we have more of a world order and more multilateral co-operation,” she said.
