WE THE PEOPLE Are in Revolt – Ballot Box Revolt

Friends

The Eagle is flying across America with a copy of the US Constitution waving in her talons; Thomas Paine is pleading for "common sense"; the light in the Statue of Liberty seems to be dimming; the moral fabric of America is shredding…will good men and women do nothing, or will we reclaim America from corrupt politicians?

Federalist Paper Number 1 states:

"Some will forget that the main reason for government to exist is for the protection of liberty; carefully considered, government and liberty should not be separated. What might appear to be a desire for the rights of the people often proves to be a true desire for the power and ambition of men. The desire for a strong government does not tempt men quite so much to this sort of dangerous ambition. History teaches us that a concern for the strength of government offers less of a threat to liberty. History shows that most people who are responsible for undermining the liberty of republics start their careers by seducing the people. They start out as great speakers, manipulating the people with prejudice and emotion, but they end up as tyrants."      Bold, courageous, decisive, sacrificial action at the ballot box in November 2008 is necessary to preclude a danger clearly outlined in the quote above by a Founding Father. Our Constitution must be rescued from the dark corners of oblivion…if necessary it will be forced down the throats of unwilling politicians who reject it’s authority.

America must step outside the two major political parties and exercise the power of the people without being constrained by a political apparatus. It doesn’t much matter where they come from; what their religion is or not; whether black, white, or some other color…male or female…Democrat, Republican or Independent. A majority of United States citizens are beyond angry because "I am America but I no longer matter." America is asking what happened to "of the people, by the people, for the people", not of the elite, by the party, for the few? The American people have been forgotten, betrayed, viewed by politicians as irritants for decades…like wise, the disgust, anger by America at corrupt government has been bubbling in a cauldron that is near boiling over…the eruption may occur in November 2008. Over 300 million citizens in America and we can’t do better than McCain and Obama?

Here’s a question we must ask ourselves…how many fingers does it take to count all the politicians currently in government that you trust? Are politicians actually using the United States Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of rights, and other Founding Father documents as their bench-mark to govern? Or, are they using their own personal agenda, political apparatus crutch, incestuous power system as their god? Can we honestly trust the government status quo, to include McCain and Obama? Are "we the people" willing to continue to prostrate ourselves as political whores serving people like McCain, Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Graham, and corporations, bankers, and sinister organizations who buy and sell America?

Patriots Revolt recommendation has been and is for a third party candidate to speak as an alternative to the "more of the same" two major party presidential candidates of McCain and Obama. While many of us may not agree with every jot and tittle of Keyes, Baldwin, Barr, or Paul, any of the four would be an improvement over the option of McCain or Obama.

We will win a decisive victory if the percentage of votes for the third party exceed 35% of the total vote…some say this is a pipe-dream, won’t happen…it can happen if America pulls together from coast to coast and casts off what we know is wrong, reject those that violate constitutional principles, dismiss candidates more concerned about power and control than America’s best interests, and above all pull the lever for America not a politician. While there may be multiple conservative candidates and we may not agree on a single candidate, we must agree to hold firm and vote for a third party candidate and demonstrate "we the people’s" rejection of McCain and Obama.

The imperative is to vote for anyone but McCain or Obama…the person that most closely meets Patriots Revolt view of Constitutional principles, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, and Federalist Paper guidance is Dr. Alan Keyes.

A major task is to mobilize public opinion to the point that Alan Keyes will meet the subjective 15% public opinion status as a presidential candidate. If the public opinion polls reach 15% favorable for Alan Keyes, he will be able to participate in Presidential Debates. If Alan Keyes is in the presidential debates, truth will emerge, McCain and Obama will be required to defend their unconstitutional positions. The result would be a glorious meltdown of two artificial pieces of veneer.

Read the principles and platform at America’s Independent Party (AIP) which is the foundation of Alan Keyes political position. Click here.

If Dr. Keyes is afforded the opportunity to debate, and he can control his emotions and stick to his God given talent, knowledge, and experience, McCain and Obama will be toast in a debate…Keyes will have them for lunch. America will truly be able to witness a candidate that puts the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Federalist Paper admonition as the bedrock of his candidacy.

Now is the time to exercise courage, determination, and stand with our Founding Fathers. Don’t believe the distortions, fabrication, half-truths of the major party pimps…they are trying to sell American sovereignty and willing to elect one failure or one without enough experience to be a failure, by convincing us a vote for other than McCain and Obama is wasted…this is a direct attack on the intelligence of American citizens and a bald face lie…will we fall for the distortions, fabrications, deceit of squealing political hacks who fear their trough might dry up? God help us to stand above the muck and mire of political garbage.

Finally:

Americans have never been so fed up with corrupt, selfish, power hungry politicians as we are today…it is clear our movement will cause pain for America but sometimes the wound must be lanced to remove the infection. Now is the time to cut the cord with the major parties and again trust a Higher Power with America’s future.

Based on response to Patriots Revolt efforts, millions of United States citizens want AMERICA BACK…it will take a gigantic effort to dislodge the corrupt, selfish, ego-centric political apparatus of McCain and Obama…if America votes it’s heart, pulls the lever for the "right thing", not the lesser evil, neither McCain nor Obama will be the next United States President.

God willing we can help revive and restore the roots of America back to Constitutional government. Unity, unity, unity can win a plurality at the ballot box for Alan Keyes.
