We The People, If We Can Keep It



Dear Captive of Government, You are a fellow Captive of government. We are all captives of government, because we have forgotten what truth makes us free. Government truth is qualified as to people, place and purpose. God’s truth is universal. It is a fundamental tenet of the Christian faith that obedience to God’s laws will make us free. God makes His laws easily known by writing them on every human heart.

The Congress of the United States has become the Tower of Babel of written law.As a follower of God’s law, you need only learn how to avoid becoming a person in a place with a government purpose to stay clear of government and its laws. Government doesn’t know the limitations of its written law, because it doesn’t know the Organic Law of the United States of America. We don’t have legal problems we have problems with a government that wants to make rules and regulations for us, as if there was no God. Lawyers cannot help us. Becoming a government citizen will not help us. Innocence will not help us. Pontius Pilate, the embodiment of government, found Jesus Christ innocent, but allowed Him to be crucified in order to support government. Jesus Christ submitted to show us how government will assist those allied with government to punish and even kill the innocent. If We Can Keep It Since its inception, the Constitution has served as a model for many newly born nations. Gradually, over the years, more amendments have been added and various Supreme Court cases were decided as political, economic, and social problems called for a solution. There is little doubt that the United States Constitution is the greatest political document ever drafted and put into effect. It has stood the test of time and even weathered the Civil War. In the end, however, it is the vigilance of “we the people” that will keep the freedoms we hold so dear alive. Justice Louis Brandeis, who believed that active involvement from the citizenry was essential to democratic government, wrote: Those who won our independence believed...that the greatest menace to freedom is an inert people, that public discussion is a political duty and that this should be a fundamental principle of the American Government....They eschewed silence coerced by the law. Indeed, as the delegates to the Constitutional Convention trudged out of Independence Hall on September 17, 1787, an anxious woman in the crowd waiting at the entrance inquired of Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic,” Franklin replied, “if you can keep it.”
