Our Founding Fathers were some of the greatest heros in the history of mankind. Thier courage and wisdom never ceases to amaze me. I am inspired by thier willingness to stand up to tyranny and injustice against all odds and sacrifice everything they had for the future of this country. To put it in thier words "With a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor."
Lately I have been doing alot of constitutional research and seeking to understand what our Founding Fathers would do if they found our nation in the position it is in today. My research in the past few weeks has brought me to some very encouraging conclusions regarding two things in particular: Term Limits and Ending Abortion. I know they may seem fairly unrelated, but they are similar in a way. These are two things that The People of our country are demanding and our federal governmet has here-to-for refused to abide by the wishes of The People.
We, The People, can change that through our state governments by calling for a Constitutional Convention and proposing amendments to The United States Constitution requiring term limits on congress and recognizing the sanctity of and protecting unborn human life.
It is time for The People of this country to take back control of our country and the individual states have the power and the ability to do so. It is for this reason that our Founding Fathers (God bless thier souls) had the wisdom and the foresight to give the states the right to amend The Constitution without the consent of congress.
I hereby call on my local legislative delegation, that being Senator Tripp Pittman and State Representative Joe Faust, to propose a resolution on the floor of thier respective houses, calling for a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of Enacting Term Limits on Congress and Recognizing the Sanctity of Human Life and Protecting All Americans Equally, Born and Unborn. Furthermore, I call on these leaders and The Governor of the State of Alabama, Bob Riley, to diplomatically call on our fellow State Governments to enact an identical resolution, calling for a Constitutional Convention.
It is within the power of the states to correct the problems we are facing nationally. We cannot depend on congress to fix itself. Congress will never adopt legislation, limiting its own terms. It is up to us, the states, to make that happen.
Similarly, the liberal judiciary, which has been corrupted by lifetime appointments of activist judges, will continue to allow the murder of our unborn population under the guise of "protecting a woman's right to choose". A woman doesn't have the right to choose to kill anyone but the unborn child she is carrying, why should her right to kill her unborn child be placed above the civil rights of the child itself?
It is my belief that we, The American People, do not approve of abortion. It is also a belief of mine that given the opportunity and the leadership, The States would enact Term Limits on Congress. I think these are among the most important things that our State Legislatures could be addressing at this time. For this reason: I ask that they commence to petitioning and preparing for a Constitutional Convention immediatly for these purposes.
In closing, I ask each of you who read this to contact your state legislators and ask them to propose a resolution for a Contitutional Convention, just like the one that will be proposed in Alabama, in thier respective State Legislature(s). Remind them that by doing so, under Article 5 of The United States Constitution, The States can amend The Constitution and adopt Term Limits for Congress and Recognize and Protect the Sanctity of Human Life, Born and Unborn.
