Speaker and Host:  Guy McLendon
Date:  Sept 3, 2005

Thank you … Everyone,

Consider … American history. From 1776 to the mid 20th century, our example spread hope throughout the world. People loved America … For example, in China, the word American … “mei-qwo-ren” … means “beautiful people”.

Our success gave hope to the citizens of France. They spent years working 450,000 pounds … of copper and steel … into an international treasure.

At the Statue of Liberty’s feet, there’s a broken shackle – symbolizing our victory over Kings who presumed to have a divine right to squander our lives and our fortunes in unjust wars.

In 1787, the Constitution was designed to limit federal power … to stop Presidents from wasting our lives. Starting in the 1930s, the Supreme Court began perverting our laws … using the “living tree” method of interpretation … that violates the amendment process required by Article 5.

In this room today, we share many common goals ….

… goals that can be achieved merely by enforcing the Constitution.

Let THAT be our Common Ground !!

So, how do we start? … 4 Ways

bullet

Attend each other’s events, and seek to understand one another

bullet

Make all our platforms constitutionally compliant

bullet

Eliminate divisive platform planks

bullet

Stop acting like mainstream Democrats & Republicans … who put their party’s interests first … above their oath of office

Each day we delay, the situation grows more desperate. No single Organization here … working alone … can restore freedom. Let us work together.

Thank you all, and may God restore Liberty here in these united States.
