Independence Day 2012
Francis Scott Key penned the words that became Our national anthem, the Star-spangled Banner, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812. The War of 1812 set the stage for the several sovereign United States to shine as a legitimate nation and a force to be reckoned with to any who thought they could overthrow or undermine its prosperity of spirit. The anthem written during that bombardment would not become our National Anthem for more than a century! Yet its spirit has been our guide through two centuries.
The draw in 1814 happened where just over a quarter century before a rag-tag bunch of upstart colonies dared to declare themselves independent of tyranny, and went on to win their revolution, seen at least by old, established European countries' royalty and their allies within the colonies, as nothing more than a brief tantrum giving the sovereign United States its "fifteen minutes of fame". That it truly had the stamina to sustain a government founded on good and noble principles as freedom and liberty for all its citizens was not taken by the royalist world to be realistic, nor did the old world think it would last. At the close of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, when queried as he left Independence Hall on the final day of deliberations, “A lady asked Dr. Benjamin Franklin ‘Well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy?’ ‘A republic, replied the Doctor, if you can keep it.’” [Dr. James McHenry, a Maryland delegate to the Convention]
What the war of 1812 did was to show that citizens of several sovereign States, united, took their Constitution seriously, their rights as inviolate, and its limitation on government to heart. Their nation and its statutes were worthy of fighting and dying for, as those principles enunciated in the Declaration of Independence were embedded in each American citizen as righteous claim to life itself. The winning of the War of 1812 - or at least to a standstill with 3 powerful groups (Canada, Britain, and Tecumseh's tribes) - proved that the nation was not a "flash in a pan", but rather a strong and lasting force, willing to die for more than mere possessions and wealth. It was a war to prove the lasting intent of a people to cherish freedom, with no option for less. It was a war that showed the nation’s fifteen minutes was truly longer-lasting, and would not only survive, but thrive for the next two hundred years, and hopefully forever.
Now, it is 2012, and that noble-minded two hundred year reign appears to have reached its end. Its citizens, especially those currently populating governments at all levels, either can’t or won’t openly stand to defend principles of liberty that rallied our forefathers to expend their wealth and blood in its creation, risking their very lives by signing a Declaration of Independence, which had they failed was signed confession to treason, punishable by death.
We have, in the intervening 2 centuries since the end of that War of 1812, allowed ourselves to be, in all practical senses, reduced to serfs, abdicating hard-won rights to tyrants and their "officials" who rob our equity for their own power and livelihoods, forced back to an existence prior to when the Barons forced King John to sign the Magna Carta in 1215. In short, we are fast becoming dependent slaves to federal agencies and their unctuous "officials" whose hands are tied, cowering before over-bearing government, and ultimately to the foreign, UN-Globalist [Agenda 21 - http://www.un.org/esa/sustdev/documents/agenda21/english/Agenda21.pdf ] tyranny so many seem to think is humanity and the earth's "salvation". Tragedy worthy of Shakespeare!

Open letter to Senate and Congress
Gentlemen, if you be so:
We are sick and tired of y'all "going along to get along" regarding fraud, waste, and abuse in the Federal government. It is time for you 3 to "fish, or cut bait".
It HAS already happened here, in the USA, as evidenced by the convictions of former ACORN members recently, and a half century ago in Tennessee [links below] - ALWAYS, seemingly, from government or government-funded "employees" - many originally elected to protect us from such disgusting behavior!
But, at least once, from 'THE PEOPLE' - aside from Lexington, Concord and hundreds of battle fields in the 1770's, 1810's, and 1860's, and myriad unnamed skirmishes throughout the land... IT HAPPENED IN 1946. YOU decide what the norm should be, then kindly let us know where YOU stand.
What we witnessed in 1968 Chicago, was unconscionable on the part of feces-throwing anarchists-of-the-left whose purpose was to "fix" an election for Bobby Kennedy; and, what happened in Chicago 2012 from thugs hired and/or inspired by Obama and his host of thugs, to disrupt otherwise peaceful meetings, who threw urine on "law enforcement personnel", and who went into eaters to beat people with hammers and night sticks, all to "effect" more of the phony "change" Obama promoted in 2008, is equally unconscionable. It is additionally unconscionable for ANYONE running to represent the United States Constitution to advocate "fundamental change" of the very country that relies on that Constitution. Fundamentally changing America means nothing short of destroying our founding documents, without which and without support for, the United States itself does not, and will not, exist.
And I hold YOU three responsible for not doing your Constitutional jobs, to control the executive via the "power of the purse" and the "power to impeach" every single one of his rogue appointees. You, in the Senate, should be ashamed for approving of them in the first place.
WHEN are you going to impeach the fraud in the White House [or barring impeachment being applicable to a usurper, arrest his ass and try him at least for fraud, if not for treason]. The power rests in your hands and minds and hearts to "do the right thing". Will you? Have you no courage?!
Obama and his "friends" and appointees are guilty at least of fomenting and inciting riot! Aside from his other frauds [lying about who set up Seal Team 6 for example being the most egregious], the man is proving to be a fraud in many other areas, an outright liar at the very least.
As a sitting Senator of the United States, and before, Obama "created of the whole cloth" a series of lies, including a fictitious girl friend, and other frauds to sell his books, and tell his NON-EXISTENT story... As late as 2007, his own team was admitting that he was "born in Kenya" - a blatant disqualifier to be living in "the peoples' White House". FRAUD. Thus, from law passed by Congress, many moons ago, Obama should be arrested, charged, and convicted:
18 USC § 1001 - Statements or entries generally [in part]
(a)Except as otherwise provided in this section, whoever, in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Government of the United States, knowingly and willfully
(1)falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact;
(2)makes any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or
(3)makes or uses any false writing or document knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry;
shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both. If the matter relates to an offense under chapter 109A, 109B, 110, or 117, or section 1591, then the term of imprisonment imposed under this section shall be not more than 8 years.
So, here is a re-enactment of what happened in Athens, Tennessee, in fall 1946, because "government" (elected and appointed) were defrauding and tyrannizing the people.
Again, YOU decide which America we shall have. The POWER to enact "general" laws relative to the limitations imposed in the US Constitution rests SOLELY in "a Congress" composed of two houses. It does NOT rest in the President, nor in sheriffs, nor in corrupt mayors, nor in courts of law whether of original jurisdiction or not...

http://www.americanheritage.com/content/battle-athens - where the news of the "Battle of Athens, Tennessee" was first published [1946]
We, the people of the united STATES in America, are exhausted by the fraudulent, deceitful, over-bearing regulatory time-wasting that YOU in Congress create. ALL levels and houses of government, EVERY agency of government (lawful or not), needs to re-examine the US Constitution, specifically noting what is, and what is not, permitted.
If you will not do YOUR duties by us, we WILL exercise our right, with arms if necessary - as was lawfully done in Athens, Tennessee.
YOU decide how you want the USA to look in the eyes of the world: let frauds vote dead people, vote more than once, cheat, lose honest ballots, find phony ballots, prevent military voters their franchise... the list is legion, and it is time for this stupidity that passes itself off as elitist intelligence to stop.
Do your jobs!
Sincerely,
Jim Greaves

Redistricting in Montana
All this back and forth about districting is political party showboating and manipulation of the power of individuals to self determine.
The political boundaries are already in place – County boundaries!
Gerrymandering around certain populations and voting proclivities [Community Plan] - guaranteeing majorities in perpetuity to selected concentrations of population - is in direct conflict with our Constitutional guarantee of a Republican form of government.
