CONSTITUTIONAL COFFEE FLASH! Constitutional Debates - June 14, 1788 - Virginia Ratifying Convention. James Madison: "... The Constitution has taken a medium between the two extremes, and perhaps with more wisdom than either the British or the state governments, with respect to their "ELIGIBILITY" to office. They can "FILL" "NO" new "offices" created by themselves, <><><> "NOR" <><><> (***APP-WAKE UP!***)  <><><> "OLD ONES" <><><> of which they   "INCREASED THE SALARIES"." ------------ ***APP CONSTITUTIONAL CAFFEINE: Would this not keep LEGISLATORS from being reelected "back" into their office... if they had   RAISED THEIR SALARIES IN THE PREVIOUS TERM??? Clearly it would. Madison Continued: "... After having heard a variety of principles developed, I thought that on which it is established the least exceptionable, and it appears to me "sufficiently well guarded". APP Wake Up: Apparently not... They simply stepped outside the "delegated powers of the "Original Compact" which they have NO AUTHORITY (see link) to do. Also see link to Rights of the Colonists that establish that Governors have "NO RIGHT" to "seek what they please" in salaries, as it makes way for them to become TYRANTS and DESPOTS, instead of servants of society. Mr. GRAYSON: "Mr. Chairman, I acknowledge that the honorable gentleman has "REPRESENTED THE CLAUSE RIGHTLY" as to their exclusion from new offices;" APP Wake Up: This establishes James Madison's intent was correct and that "NEW OFFICES" also means, by the definitions given here "NOR Filling Old Ones", as reelection to the same office for a "NEW TERM" of Office for which the salaries were increased by the person seeking reelection to it.   ------------------- WARNING * WARNING * WARNING WARNING TO TEA PARTY GOERS Warning; DO NOT be taken in by the attempts to establish a NATIONAL FLAT TAX, FLAT PERCENTAGE TAX, FAIR TAX, FLAT PURCHASE TAX or other ARBITRARY UNENUMERATED TAX SCHEMES! These are INDIRECT TAXES,  UNENUMERATED Styled taxes; The ARBITRARY flat percentage will insure and grant government money without consent prior to receiving funds; It will be no different than the income tax is now. WORSE it will guarantee increases to governments with the increase of the private sector WITHOUT CONSENT AND OVERSIGHT; It will EMPOWER GOVERNMENT. The Founders understood the necessity of a DIRECT taxation; Taxes that are not arbitrary, but are DEFINED AND ENUMERATED >>>BEFORE THEY ARE GRANTED TO GOVERNMENT. >>>>FURTHER DANGERS: Some plans combine state and federal taxation or federal taxation into one "sales tax" plan; These are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS as it is a "SHOEHORN" for the Federal government to involve itself with State and local taxation! The federal government will be come a legal "PARTY" to the taxation process and thereby WREST CONTROL of local taxation and LOCAL REGULATIONS!!! We have noticed the Flat Tax, FairTax and other such "percentage tax" groups attempting to use the Tea Party movement and jealousy to promote these taxes in the rallies; Don't fall Prey to them! There are other ways of direct taxation that will remove regulation and insure oversight and local control over taxation; See Anonymity Tax. See APP "Opposition Issues Page" on FairTax. ------------------- FASCISM IS LEFT >>>ADDITIONAL WARNING: We have heard speakers at TEA PARTY RALLIES ATTEMPTING to place Fascism as being to the FAR RIGHT; THIS IS INCORRECT. This is a "Centrist and leftist" "Ploy" to make you think we need to move to the center i.e. toward the left; This is meant to confuse; Do not buy into it. Socialism and Communism and Fascism are ALL LEFT; ALL THREE require huge socialistic bureaucracies to operate and therefore are ALL THREE, FORMS of SOCIALISM and ALL "LEFT". Understanding that the State of Nature under the Law of Nature to guide it are the Far Right, then Constitutional Compacts to enforce the Law of Nature are the RIGHT - Freedom and Property are protected; To the Left are Various forms of Socialism  and collectives which include Fascism and Communism; These naturally degenerate through  arbitrary power against the properties and liberties of the people. To the Far Left when these break down through ABUSES to the Law of Nature, is the temporary condition of  Anarchy which is the State of Nature without respect for the Law of Nature, referring to lawlessness of any kind and without compacts to enforce the Law of Nature; Anarchy is a condition that will exist until either people respect the Laws of Nature; The protections reemerge to recognize and enforce again the Laws of Nature through Constitution"s"; Or else the people allow themselves to again be enslaved under Governments of arbitrary power. Read John Locke on Civil Government Also Understand that Corporations, Unions, Tax supported Special interests and undelegated federal and state bureaucracies are ALL COLLECTIVES and state born "Exclusive Privileges" which should not even exist in a free country; We have been warned by the Founders to guard against their existence; they are from undelegated arrogated powers. DO NOT CONFUSE "Exclusive Privileged" "trade" with "free trade".

The American Patriot Party represented here is opposed to any and all environmental extremism or progressivism. Such environmentalism is viewed by this party as a form of socialism which attacks the very fabric of security in ones home, papers and effects (property). Environmental laws are a means of corrupting the individual rights of free citizens through national and international manipulation of our most cherished laws.

Duty of State Powers over Federal

Note Thomas Jefferson's statement in the Kentucky Resolution, that it is the States that must act to nullify by their own authority, all powers assumed by the federal government that have not been delegated to it.

James Madison also establishes in the Virginia Resolution that to consolidate the states into "one nation" under "one authority" through exceeding the Delegated Powers, it removes the states as being a "republic", and transforms the country into a monarchy.

James Madison - Virginia Resolution:

"... so as to destroy the meaning and effect, of the particular "enumeration" which necessarily explains and "limits" the "general phrases"; and so as to "consolidate the states by degrees", into "one sovereignty", the obvious tendency and inevitable consequence of which would be, to transform the "Present Republican System"(1798) of the United States, into an "absolute", or at best a "mixed >Monarchy<".


Here it is clear the founders of freedom, the Authors themselves of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution had no intention of consolidating the states into being "one nation", nor of transferring "unlimited power" to the federal government;

The intent is clearly for numerous independent self governed "state nations". Establishing further a  very limited delegated "compact" between the states (i.e. Constitution), so to regulate in size and in powers, a "limited federal government" to serve the states at the state's will, for limited and defined Continental purposes with very limited and delegated powers. 

As defined by these Authors, should these delegated powers or limits be exceeded in any way, by even one step, as Edmund Pendleton establishes, the actions as defined by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Nicholas and others would be null and void; (Constitutional Debates and Viginia and Kentucky Resolutions)

The states having the immediate power, right, duty and responsibility to stop, remove and arrest any further progress.

Not only the state has this power, but also as defined by the Founders in the Constitutional Debates, any well regulated community has the right to halt those abuses, state legislatures, county commission, judge, governor, mayor, commonwealth or community.

George Nicholas:

"...But, says he, who is to determine the extent of such powers? I say, the same power which, in all well-regulated communities, determines the "extent" of "legislative" powers. If they exceed these powers, the judiciary will declare it void, or else "the people" will have a "right to declare it void"

In a free country, the power is from the bottom up, established by inalienable rights.

It is presently these persons, state legislatures, county commissions, judges, governors, mayors, who are presently failing to act and use the powers they possess to arrest the powers not delegated to the federal government.

Much of this is through states and communities accepting federal bribery use of funds from non-delegated tax systems, and tax dollars the states should never have let leave the state; To have themselves set upon by numerous unwanted and unneeded programs and departments through federal mandates in order to receive those tax dollars back for highways or other needed maintenance for which they could do themselves if the money had not left the state to begin with.

--------------------

"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."

Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772

AMERICAN PATRIOT PARTY QUOTES:

"Liberty will not long survive the total extinction of morals." And: "As long as the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue they will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader.... If virtue and knowledge are diffused among the people, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great security ."

Samuel Adams, the Father of the Revolution


The American Patriot Party.CC
New Logo Notice The American Patriot Party and the Oregon Patriot Party is for:

The "States Liberty Bill"  Established by the Oregon Patriot Party of the American Patriot Party.

The "States Liberty Bill" of the Oregon Patriot Party has Three Parts.

First, the "States Liberty Bill" systematically halts further growth of the federal government within the states and begins a removal of all Non essential federal agencies and federal owned lands within the states. This action is to reduce the tax burden and federal encroachments and manipulations of state and local rights.

Second, the "States Liberty Bill" enacts the No Names, No Numbers, True Patriot Tax system to reduce the tax burdens imposed by the present tax system and eliminate federal encroachment into individuals personal and private business.

Third, the "States Liberty Bill" will establish the unconstitutionality of zoning laws and remove all zoning from the states so to allow free growth of independent free enterprise.

This is essential to open up free enterprise, instead of the harsh regulations presently in place that force free enterprise not able or willing to toil under such regulations into the open arms of government bureaucracy and upon the backs of free enterprise to support.

The "States Liberty Bill" establishes:

1.) Freeze on Federal Jobs: Systematic reduction of the Federal Government by placing a freeze on hiring for all nonessential federal agencies.
2.) Offer Early retirement to government employees and as nonessential offices close offer transfers to essential offices as openings become available for qualified applicants.
3.) Abolish all Zoning ordinance and bureaucracy and enact simple building laws which protect the right to build and protect only against obvious physical encroachments of another's property, (See proposal) This will Free up free enterprise and greatly reduce unemployment by expanding free enterprise.
4.) Transfer complete ownership and control of all federal lands to each of the respective states and in ownership and control of each of their counties.
5.) Abolishment of the Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
6.) Enactment of the No Names No Numbers Tax System.
7.) Abolishment of all other tax systems except use taxes and voluntary taxes such as lotteries which are to be controlled by vote. Grant amnesty to all tax debts whatsoever and remove completely all debts to the government by any person, group, entity or other from these tax systems.
8.) De-unionization of all government jobs and positions.
9.) Limiting all government income to no greater than the average salary of the county they reside, at all levels.
10.) Education Reform, state and local community control.  
11.) Maintain Social Security under new tax system (Which See) wherein all moneys collected will be placed in a completely separate account and physical location in each state from all other tax moneys. No bill or separate government agency or any other entity or person(s) will be allowed access to any funds except for distribution to the intended recipient;
12.) Since the new tax system will collect moneys from state toll equally from the general public; and federal imports (collected by states) from imports and from foreign visitors, and not derived from income or other modes of taxation, any new money collected will be distributed equally to all US citizens at the age of 65. All previous quarters paid under the old system will be respected.
13.) Medicare will follow the same path as Social Security.
14.) Health and Life Insurance reform - as corporations "are" national health care. Corporations are not free enterprise; they are regulated internal bureaucracies; When large enough, they are government styled bureaucracies operating within a free country's and state's borders. If corporations operate like a social bureaucracy (which they do), they are social bureaucracies. The only difference between a state government health care system where money is pooled and held in a controlled dispersal; and a Corporate health insurance plan pooled and held for controlled dispersal (note we are not for a "national" health care "system"), is that if you miss a payment with a corporate plan you loose all your coverage and, more than likely, all the money you have put into it;  Then refused further consideration for further policy by that company (assuring the corporation of that much profit which is now no longer at risk). The person is then passed to the next company for greater insurance costs in a highly profitable skimming system. There needs to be safeguards set on money invested in corporate insurance so that a portion is held from misuse or profit and either held in a trust account (not lost or absorbed by the corporation), transferred to the next insurance company or pooled by the state and or county for basic health care, to be held in trust to the person who invested the money - That is if "corporate" health care "insurance", considered a type of national health care in and of itself by this party, is to be allowed to continue; However, as in taxes where 50% is spent on regulation to collect the other 50% in direct taxation, regulation of a corporate bureaucracy requires a government bureaucracy oversight which is a double layer burden. The issue is unlimited corporate profit and controlled government salaries, in regard to what the money is supposed to be used for - and that is "actual health care", not bureaucratic salaries or exaggerated profit. Ideally, any money would be pooled, with minimal bureaucratic labor (of either kind) or profit before it reaches its patient destination; and drawn under strict guidelines (owing to patient privacy) into and distributed by the private medical care field with built in localized private non-corporate elected physician oversight (in fund distribution)  as needed by each patient. If  money spent toward health care now, bypassed, even in part, the bureaucratic labor and corporate insurance profit schemes, there would be more than enough for county and state basic health care for those in need. In 2004 - the latest year data available, total national health expenditures rose 7.9 percent -- over three times the rate of inflation (1). Total spending was $1.9 TRILLION in 2004, or $6,280 per person - if a portion of this amount was placed directly in interest bearing accounts on a ongoing basis, we believe that a financial foundation for health care can be realized very quickly; A combination of law to establish efficient procedure; and percentage in and of distribution of invested money toward health insurance, and private and localized field professional oversight and ethical standards are the goal. Non-medical bureaucratic middle men, private and government, are the problem; By-passing them under the present system, is part of the solution.
15.) Implement judicial, and legislative reform from local level, to supreme-court system.
16.) No public office positions shall be held that are not voted on by the people. State and Federal positions that are located by office in any county must be voted in by that county; If duties extend into other counties, by all effected counties, but not further than can be feasibly administered by that one individual subject to voter approval. No sweeping jurisdictions shall be granted any individual or to extend beyond any state.
17.) All powers of condemnation except during an actual time of war will have no power by any government agency, entity or person; This position and stand of this party is solidly founded and established in the Rights of the Colonists: "First, "The first fundamental positive law of all Commonwealths or States, is the establishing the legislative power; as the first fundamental natural/law also, which is to govern even the legislative power itself, is the preservation of the Society. "6 " Secondly, The Legislative has no right to absolute arbitrary power over the lives and fortunes of the people:..." " Thirdly, The supreme power cannot Justly take from any man, any part of his property without his "consent", in person or by his Representative.--" ; and if condemnation occurs in war which is the sole purpose of any condemnation - which the amendment and where just compensation is described - and where all other condemnation is prohibited by the right of the people to be secure in their person papers and effects, all properties shall be returned afterwards. Wherein public safety is at risk by condition only, (not by esthetics nor by simple public will) the act of quarantine to general public will be established until any problem is repaired; Only when eminent public hazard exists, will temporary condemnation be allowed to be enacted for those things built upon the land or in the land, but not the land itself, nor fines imposed.
18.) All non military government, non geological - weather recording and non emergency employees must use automobiles or other public modes of transportation. No public expenditured use of expensive helicopters or private or government aircraft will be allowed to be owned or operated by non military, non geological - weather recording or non emergency government agencies. Nor shall any government personnel of any non military, non geological - weather recording or non emergency government agencies be allowed to share use of such aircraft unless in a time of emergency. Nor shall any government or government personnel accept donations or assistance from private enterprise or personnel except in times of national or natural emergency.  Thereby reducing greatly unnecessary expenditures and private enterprise manipulation of our government and our government employees.
19) Abolish federal EPA and retain each states controlled DEQ, thereby removing a double layered bureaucracy and unneeded tax burden..
20.) All lottery money to be ear marked for education and state emergency funds only.
21.) All state parks to be funded by use taxes alone and controlled by counties.
22.) To reduce unemployment in this state to its citizens, all employment to Parks or other state and county government agencies located within any county, will first be offered to persons having resided in the county applied for a minimum of 2 years. 
24.) Except military, the total number of years for any public service will be 4 years thereby excluding public service as a profession and placing it for what it is, public service. Skill from that service can then be used in the private industries and workplace or furthered education.
25.) No federal, state or county employment shall be offered to non citizens of the United States.
26.) Election reform. To allow for voting for the candidates of choice for public office(s), and not a candidate of limited choice, elections will allow two votes, one vote for the candidate you feel would best represent your position and a second choice vote for a second candidate so if your first choice candidate was unable to secure enough votes to compete in the election process, the second vote will be counted. This will relieve any fears of loosing a vote to a more popular candidate that is near to your stands on issues by voting for a candidate that most closely represents your stand on issues. This will also eliminate having to only have the choice of voting for "the lesser of two evils" as the saying goes.
27.) The United Nations being not an entity but simply a pact, the United Nations will be eliminated as a power in and of itself and simply a four walled room to discuss how independent states and countries will react independently on any given issue. All UN materials and equipment and personnel will be disbanded to the country of their origin and the UN emblem stricken from all use. All Countries and states will remain as independently responsible for their own actions.
28.) In protection of United States Sovereignty, No foreign country or citizen may own United States soil. All land now owned will be granted life time leases. Such leases, in time of war against countries who have citizens who possess such leases, may be subject to loss and public auction of such leases and all properties on United States soil for which moneys will go toward the war effort. Should such foreign citizens become United States citizens, the land shall be deemed owned by such person or persons. So long as there is any foreign member of any entity that has any lease in such lands, no ownership will be granted.
29.) No military from any other nation or UN or any other pact forces shall be allowed to establish bases or operate within the US or on US soil.
30.) All gas Use taxes to be used for roads only.
31.) Unlimited access to and freedom to drill on all private lands for gas, oil and other minerals by any individual. Thereby removing the manipulation of the industries, special interests and the government to control or create bought protectionism for exclusive rights to drill such that has been attempted in the CARA Bill where Oil Industries pay governments and special interests to condemn land in the lower 48 states for the exclusive rights to drill oil in Alaska; instead of working for a truly free enterprise which should be everyone's goal in a free country; This will allow for a true free market value of oil gas and minerals.


Boundaries of Freedom:

The only freedom you do not have in a free country is the freedom to take certain inalienable rights and freedoms away from others.

To do so is treason to a free people and their country;

The ultimate treason, is to do so under the guise of "just doing ones job" by placing a unquestioning duty to "ones job, duty or law", whatever it may be, that is not in compliance with certain inalienable rights; and over ones first right and duty which is to protect those certain inalienable rights which are Supreme law.

--------------------------

Thomas Jefferson:

 "Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others.

I do not add 'within the limits of the law', because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual~~"

--------------------------

Defining the Difference:

The Founding Fathers of True Freedom are not the same as the Founding Fathers of Federalism.

The Founding Fathers of Freedom define certain inalienable rights and place safeguards to protect freedom as done in the Declaration of Independence and their letters which define their intents (ie. Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry and others).

The Founding Fathers of Federalism lay the foundations for future corruption and even in their writings question absolute freedom of speech (ie. Hamilton the Federalist papers).

Know the difference between Blind Nationalism, which is defined by borders, symbols such as flags and blind patriotic rhetoric;

 And True Freedom, which is Clearly Defined in Certain Inalienable Rights.

Understand that it is the absolute unchangeable meaning of certain inalienable rights that defines freedom;

For if the meaning behind the symbol or border changes, it renders the symbol meaningless and the borders of a free country empty, powerless and bare to the ruthless ambition that is in and of tyranny.

Know the difference between true peace that is respected of true freedom;

And the false peace that is of subjugation as that found of England and other falsely acclaimed free countries mis titled as part of a free world for which their citizens have no certain, inalienable, rights.

Know that total democracy is total socialism, blown with the winds of manipulated change and socialism's progression.

Freedom is defined, certain, inalienable; and established so in the originating founders letters defining the intent; and in which men "assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them..." The Declaration of Independence.

Bringing you the True Intent of Freedoms Founders

 *** Here Below is a sample segment from a discussion had on the American Patriot Party Web Forum covering foreign wars, 12th Grievance and 2nd Amendment Rights definitions and the founding fathers intent; "Military Issues"/ "Hamilton and the Common Defense"

The discussion yielded letters of the founding fathers intent of "Civilian Militias" power over the "Standing Army" - i.e. Military

Make sure to review carefully the words below of James Madison:

--------------------------
--------------------------

 START Segment -  In response to requiring the written words Declaration of War prior to engagement

 "........ I would endorse the words a Declaration of War;

However if we are attacked, we "are" at war....

It is needless to say.

And if during a initial exchange the congress is obliterated .... we can't wait for the dead to speak in which to act in defense.

So what is necessary for us to establish our stand on war and action?

Foreign wars present a issue of what the end should be; simply a European Democracy? I think not.

We stand for American Freedom of certain, inalienable, rights.

If we are to fight a war, these are what we need to leave behind in that country, not simply another socialist country to be consumed by the next controlling socialist dictator or socialist leadership.

The Responsibility of the people we leave there, need to be educated in the difference and the ability to defend it.

Disarming the nation we conquer or "liberate", is not the way.

This simply prepares the people to be controlled again.

The people need to be educated on freedom and trusted in the responsibility.

------------------------

Review also the 12th Grievance of the Declaration of Independence which establishes civilian powers and military as this is a important establishment of those reasons given by the founders.

12th Grievance (Defining Tyranny): "He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power".

-----------------------

The division of power and strengths establishes where the control comes from and where it is necessary to make changes.

In this country, or a Truly Free Foreign country it should be the same.

When the federal government consumed the states, it usurped control of states defenses presented in the 37th and 39th Grievances of the Declaration of Independence.

But not so based on Constitutions Limitations as it is a document that is suppose to protect all agreements and oaths of the Declaration of Independence of which are oaths that the Articles Confederation were also bound, Documents for which the Constitution without, would never have existed.

See the Grievances

----------------------

We need to look at the whole picture to establish our stand on war. Where the control of defense lay and the limits, defined by the Founders that have been placed on the US Congress and U.S. Military; As there are, in fact, limits set by the Founders

a.) Federal "Policing" is limited to the 10 miles square area of Washington D.C. for the limited purpose of protecting congress as they work - See Constitutional Debate;

b.) Military is limited in force and power to 1/25th of all citizens able to bear arms; See James Madison below.

 c.) Military cannot be used to implement or enforce laws within the U.S.; See Constitutional Debate;

d.) The Military must be invited by the state for the limited purpose of protecting one state from invasion of another; and to protect the republican form of government if attacked. See Constitution.


These are just some things to keep in mind:
 

----------------------------
 

Founding Fathers Quotes:

President George Washington presented his mistrust in the federal government very clearly and defined the true intent where the powers should lay, and that is in the hands of the civilians.

 In response to a proposal for gun registration George Washington in 1790 said: "Absolutely not. If the people are armed and the "federalists" do not know where the arms are, there can never be an oppressive government."

The right to conceal from the federal government; The purpose clearly stated to have the power to put down an oppressive federal government. This is clearly in line with the 12th Grievance of the Declaration of Independence. This defines the Intent of the 2nd Amendment and the intent of the Founders.

Elbridge Gerry, a representative to Congress from Massachusetts during the debates over the Bill of Rights "What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty ... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins."
Lets review other words of James Madison with regards to militias and standing armies; The purpose and the power ratio between them:

 

James Madison who wrote the Constitution together the Bill of Rights:

"The highest number to which a standing army can be carried in any country does not exceed one hundredth part of the souls, or one twenty-fifth (1/25th) part of the number able to bear arms.

This portion would not yield, in the United States, an army of more than twenty-five or thirty thousand men.

To "these" would be opposed

(APP: indicating that the "militia" is to be a "opposing force" to the standing army as well as that of foriegn enemies)

a militia amounting to near half a million CITIZENS with arms in their HANDS,

"officered by men chosen from "among themselves",

(not by government or the standing army)

fighting for "their" (the citizen / militia's) common liberties and united and conducted by government"S" possessing their (the citizen / militia's) affections and confidence.

It may well be doubted whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a "proportion" of regular troops (i.e. standing army).

Besides the advantage of being armed, it forms a barrier against the "enterprises of ambition", more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.

The governments of Europe are afraid to trust the people with arms.

If they did, the people would surely shake off the yoke of tyranny, as America did.

Let us not insult the free and gallant citizens of America with the suspicion that they would be less able to defend the rights of which they would be in actual possession than the debased subjects of arbitrary power would be to rescue theirs from the hands of their oppressors."


 John Adams in A Defense Of The Constitution:

"Arms in the hands of individual citizens may be used at individual discretion ... in private self-defense."

Samuel Adams, John Adams' second or third cousin, during Massachusetts' U.S. Constitution ratification convention in 1788.

"The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms."

Jefferson:

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in Government."

Part of the proposed Virginia Constitution, in 1776.

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."

Jefferson quoting Cesare Beccaria — a Milanese criminologist whom he admired who was also his contemporary — in On Crimes and Punishment;

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms ... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

Thomas Paine from his Thoughts On Defensive War written in 1775:

"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."

George Washington January 7, 1790 :

"Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the American people's liberty teeth and keystone under independence. From the hour the Pilgrims landed, to the present day, events, occurrences, and tendencies prove that to ensure peace, security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable. The very atmosphere of firearms "everywhere" restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that's good."

George Mason when the Constitution was being debated:

"To disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."

-----------------------

We need to also understand both the purpose of a war and what it is we will leave behind.

True Freedom is what we should fight for and educate to establish in any situation when war is set upon us;

This way we will be less likely to have to return to fight another dictator or assailant; as the people we leave will be strong internally to deal with the problem themselves.

Other forms of government are liable to it as well as that; for WHEREVER the power that is put in any hands for the government of the people and the preservation of their properties is applied to "other ends", and made use of to IMPOVERISH, HARASS, or SUBDUE them to the ARBITRARY and IRREGULAR commands of those that have it, THERE it presently becomes TYRANNY, whether those that thus use it are one or many. Thus we read of the thirty tyrants at Athens, as well as one at Syracuse; and the intolerable dominion of the Decemviri at Rome was nothing better."

--------------------------

For those who think the federal government through it's constitutional legislative process or even states ratifying amendment process has the power of a democracy to do as it pleases outside the republic that limits them, these words from the AUTHORS OF both the Declaration of Independence and Constitution PROVE THE OPPOSITE;

The federal government is limited to the delegated powers and NO power can be assumed or arrogated beyond those granted them by ANY means;

Nor can the state's legislatures act on the federal legislative's behalf through mandates or other means to accomplish the same end; As that would allow the federal government, or any one or number of states, to dictate unlimited decrees or to inslave the rest:


Thomas Jefferson
Kentucky Resolutions - 1798


2. " Resolved, That the Constitution of the United States, having delegated to Congress a power to punish:
a.) treason,
b.)  counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States,
c.)  piracies, and felonies committed on the high seas, and
d.)  offenses against the law of nations,

and >>>> NO OTHER CRIMES >>>"WHATSOEVER";

and it being true as a general principle, and one of the amendments to the Constitution having also declared, that "the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, not prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people,"

therefore the act of Congress, passed on the 14th day of July, 1798, and intituled "An Act in addition to the act intituled An Act for the punishment of certain crimes against the United States," as also the act passed by them on the — day of June, 1798, intituled "An Act to punish frauds committed on the bank of the United States," (>>>> and ALL their OTHER ACTS which assume to CREATE, DEFINE, or PUNISH crimes, OTHER than THOSE so enumerated in the Constitution,)

>>> are "ALTOGETHER" "VOID", and of "NO FORCE";

and that the power to create, define, and punish such other crimes is reserved, and, of right, appertains solely and exclusively to the respective "STATES", each within its own territory.

 

James Madison
Virginia Resolutions -1798

"...That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the powers of the federal government, as resulting from the "compact", to which the states are parties; as limited by the "plain sense and intention" of the instrument constituting the "compact"; as NO further valid that they are authorized by the grants "enumerated" in that "compact"; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous exercise of OTHER powers, NOT granted by the said "compact", the STATES who are parties thereto, have the RIGHT, and are in DUTY BOUND, to "interpose" for ARRESTING the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them."

10 years earlier in the Virginia Ratifying Convention his message was the same:

 James Madison 6-16-1788: "...If that "latitude" of construction which he contends for were to take place with respect to the "sweeping clause" (Article VI), there "would" be room for those horrors.

But it gives "NO" "supplementary" power. It ONLY enables them to execute the "delegated powers".

"If" the "delegation" of their powers be "safe", no possible inconvenience can arise from this clause.

It is at most "but" explanatory.

For when any power is given, its delegation necessarily involves authority to make laws to execute it


Edmund Pendleton 6-16-1788: "With respect to the necessity of the ten miles square being superseded by the subsequent clause, which gives them power to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this Constitution in the government of the United States, or in any department or officer thereof (Article VI), I understand that clause as NOT going a "single step beyond" the "DELEGATED powers". What can it act upon? Some power given by THIS Constitution. If they should be about to pass a law in consequence of this clause, they must pursue some of the "DELEGATED powers", but can by "NO MEANS" depart from them,

(N)OR "ARROGATE" "ANY NEW" powers; for the PLAIN LANGUAGE of the clause is, to give them power to pass laws in order to give "effect" to the "DELEGATED" powers".

It is clear the federal government has long since exceeded its authority granted to it by the states through the compact between them, the Constitution.

The states themselves have stepped from their authority to allow undelegated and unauthorized federal mandates to enter our states and subjugate the people and their properties under them.

This, when it is clear that it is the State's Duty  to do the opposite; and that it is to "interpose for arresting the evil"; as Thomas Jefferson clearly presents.

John Locke establishes the below facts of resolve clearly when a government oversteps the bounds of limited authority and trust granted it:

John Locke 155:  "...I say, using force upon the people, "without authority", and "contrary" to the TRUST put in him that does so, >>>is a State of WAR with the people<<<..."

 "....In "ALL" states and conditions the TRUE REMEDY of "force without authority" is to oppose force to it.

The use of "force without authority (without right)" ALWAYS puts him that uses it into a State of WAR as the Aggressor, and renders him liable to be "TREATED ACCORDINGLY"."

See Locke 16 to 20

The American Patriot Party, State Organization Map:



Welcome to the new National American Patriot Party web site. The American Patriot Party has taken on some changes. The Oregon Patriot Party has assumed the National American Patriot Party role in guiding states to develop their states parties.  For Election Information See Candidates Section.

Previously active states: (green) need to voice reactivation (blue). Several states so far are under organization.

See organization of state parties below.


Absolute Rights of the Colonists 1772:

1.) The first fundamental natural law  which is to govern even the legislative power itself, is the preservation of the Society."

2.) "The Legislative has no right to absolute arbitrary power over the lives and fortunes of the people"

3.) "The supreme power (legislative) "cannot" "Justly" take from any man, "any part" of his property without his "consent", in person >>>"or" by his Representative.--"

4.) "There shall be one rule of Justice for rich and poor; for the favorite in Court, and the Countryman at the Plough."7

5.) Justice and Rights being established from "promulgated, standing and known laws"

"These are some of the great barriers of "all"  free states."


New Organizers: may request interest in establishing state parties in green or gray states.

People interested in establishing or reestablishing their state parties should review this web site and become educated in the Declaration of Independence and Originating Founders Letters prior to 1776 that defined the intent of freedom;

Further, to become versed in your own state's elections laws prior to making a commitment with this party in starting a state party.

Each state is responsible for developing their own party.

Do not expect anyone to do it for you. See our State Party Guidelines Page.

Be realistic. Understand this will be a lifetime process, do not expect too much too soon. Development of your particular state party may take many years. 100% of establishing a party is believing in its goals and always being there when necessary.

If you choose simply to be a member, your commitment will be the same.

"Statesmanship", as defined by this party, is first defending certain inalienable rights as defined by the Declaration of Independence and it's Originating Founding Fathers of and prior to 1776; Then to the concerns, that are within these parameters, of their constituents of their state.

This sets the solid foundation for this party's establishments and goals.

This also limits change from outside forces that water down the true intents of those who fought to give us the freedoms we have.

Our candidates will follow the party, the party follows and reestablishes the true intent of a free community, state, and country as defined in the Declaration of Independence and letters of the Originating Founders of Freedom.

American Patriot Party Platform

Unlike the major parties whose platforms are both based on national interests of a central party agenda, the American Patriot Party not only defers agendas not in conflict with the party goals defending certain inalienable rights, to the states, but the American Patriot Party and Oregon Patriot Party, beyond state issues, defers and works to strengthen both county and local community strengths against imposing state powers as well as federal.

Our aim is in educating the true definitions of freedom and reestablishing those definitions in all aspects of American law.

Many people have never read the founding documents or the letters of this country and often recite statements that have nothing to do with freedom.

It is critical to understand the foundations of freedom, otherwise we undermine its purpose, reason and intent.


What you should do before joining the American Patriot Party Independent States Parties or Oregon Patriot Party


1.) Read the Declaration of Independence. This is the founding document of this country and the true definition of Freedom.

   a.) The Declaration of Independence defines your First Right and Duty as a Patriot of Freedom.

   b.) The Declaration of Independence lists 40 Grievance that define 40 definitions of a Tyrannical government.

   c.) There are approximately 46 Certain Inalienable Rights listed in the Declaration of Independence. Of these, 40 are the result of the 40 Grievances, the Inalienable Rights being the opposing position of those listed tyrannies.

d.) The Declaration of Independence draws from hundreds of years of slow and agonizing history to establish the definition of freedom. From the Magna Carta 1200 AD to the Rights of the Colonists 1772, These are 1 page documents - copy them and save them to your desktop; See the full history. To the Originating Founders, is the intent of freedom defined:

e.) Valuable Research Resources:

University of Chicago, Founders Constitution http://press-pubs.uchicago.edu/founders/

Constitution.Org http://www.constitution.org

See our Site Map for Suggested Reading.


2.) Know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

   a.) These two documents are entirely different in their function.

   b.) The Declaration of Independence defines Certain Inalienable Rights that do not change. The intent of these Certain Inalienable Rights are backed and founded by the letters of the Founding Fathers of Freedom; All patriots who died giving you and establishing your freedoms died for this document alone. George Washington read this document to his men before battle so that there was no question as to what they were sacrificing for.

  c.) The Constitution limits the Federal Government. That's it. It is a document that was written many years after the Declaration of Independence, after the Articles of Confederation of which this country operated on during the revolution; The Constitution itself and the Federalists were opposed by many of the Originating Founding Fathers of freedom for good reason;

   d.) No one died to ratify the Constitution. Though at the time was deemed a necessity by some, this document has been incorrectly interpreted and these incorrect interpretations usurped many of the purposes freedom was fought for; Such as Independent States Rights, among others at the time;

Later corrupted in areas such as where the 17th Grievance of the Declaration of Independence was usurped by the 16th Amendment of the Constitution first deemed Unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, then claimed "so called constitutional" by our so called "representatives" after amending the Constitution;

Certain, Inalienable, Rights, cannot be changed at will by representatives or any man, no matter how many vote upon it. That is why they are called "Certain" and "Inalienable".

The 16th Amendment remains unconstitutional as the constitution's purpose is to protect inalienable rights as presented in the 17th Grievance of the Declaration of Independence - No taxation without our "CONSENT".

The word "Consent" is descriptive of freedom. It is used often in the documents. With out the ability to consent, you have no freedom.

   e.) The Constitution's (or "Central National Government") weakness is that, as was warned by the Founding Fathers, it is able to be changed, altered and corrupted.

And has been.

   f.) No oath to the Constitution supersedes the Oaths first given and established in the Declaration of Independence; and no oath is held to any man that which original intent the oath was given has been corrupted; Military or Civilian.

--------------------

Declaration of Independence: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."

Constitution: Article VI: All Debts contracted "and "Engagements" entered into (Oaths and Declarations), before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution as under the "Confederation". This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be "made" in >>>"pursuance thereof"<<<; and all Treaties (Oaths and Declarations) "made", or which shall be "made", under the Authority of the United States, shall be supreme Law of the Land ...."

*** Note that these "Supreme Laws" "Made" can only be made within the "VERY LIMITED" "DELEGATED powers.

This was clearly defined in the Constitutional Debates. The Federal Government must stay within the "limited delegated powers" and CANNOT ARROGATE ANY NEW POWERS.

Read that Debate:

Mr. Pendleton: "... What can it act upon? Some power given by this Constitution. If they should be about to pass a law in consequence of this clause, they must pursue some of the delegated powers, but can by "no means" depart from them, or arrogate "any new" powers; for the plain language of the clause is, to give them power to pass laws in order to give "effect" to the "delegated powers"."

This was also Clarified again Clearly, by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison after the Constitution was ratified when they established the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions (which See)

Virginia Resolution 1798:

"That this assembly most solemnly declares a warm attachment to the Union of the "States", to maintain which it pledges all its powers; and that for this end, it is their duty to watch over and oppose "every infraction" of those principles which constitute the "only basis" of that Union, because a "faithful observance" of them, can alone secure it's existence and the public happiness.

That this Assembly doth explicitly and peremptorily declare, that it views the "powers" of the federal government, as resulting from the compact, to which the states are parties; as limited by the "plain sense and intention" of the instrument constituting the "compact"; as "no further valid" that they are authorized by the grants "enumerated" in that compact; and that in case of a deliberate, palpable, and dangerous "exercise" of "other powers", "not granted" by the said "compact", the states who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose for arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties appertaining to them.

"... so as to destroy the meaning and effect, of the particular "enumeration" which "necessarily" explains and "limits" the "general phrases"; and so as to "consolidate the states by degrees", into "one sovereignty", the obvious tendency and inevitable consequence of which would be, to transform the "present republican system"(1789) of the United States, into an "absolute", or at best a "mixed >monarchy<".

APP Note: You can see how the federal government has twisted the Fifty United Free Independent State Nations into "one nation" which the Founders had no intention by the Constitution; A simple limited "compact" between Free and Independent States (State Nations); And in fact here have placed a harsh warning >never to allow it.<

"That the General Assembly doth particularly protest against the palpable and alarming infractions of the Constitution, in the two late cases of the "Alien and Sedition Acts" passed at the last session of Congress; the first of which exercises a power "no where delegated" to the federal government, and which by uniting legislative and judicial powers to those of executive, subverts the general principles of free government; as well as the particular organization, and positive provisions of the federal constitution; and the other of which acts, exercises in like manner, a power not delegated by the constitution, but on the contrary, expressly and positively forbidden by one of the amendments thereto; a power, which more than any other, ought to produce universal alarm, because it is leveled against that right of freely examining public characters and measures, and of free communication among the people thereon, which has ever been justly deemed, the only effectual guardian of every other right



Kentucky Resolution 1798:

Resolved, That the several States composing, the United States of America, are NOT united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general government; but that, by a compact under the style and title of a Constitution for the United States, and of amendments thereto, they constituted a general government for special purposes — delegated to that government certain definite powers, reserving, each State to itself, the residuary mass of right to their "own self-government"; and that whensoever the general government "assumes undelegated powers", its "acts" are "unauthoritative, void, and of no force": that to this compact each State acceded as a State, and is an integral part, its co-States forming, as to itself, the other party: that the government created by this compact was NOT made the exclusive or final judge of the extent of the powers delegated to itself;

since that would have made its discretion, and "not the Constitution", the "measure of its powers";

but that, as in all other cases of compact among powers having no common judge, each party has an equal right to judge for itself, as well of infractions as of the mode and measure of redress...."

#8: "...that in cases of an abuse of the delegated powers, the members of the general government, being chosen by the people, a change by the people would be the constitutional remedy; BUT, where powers are assumed which have NOT been delegated, a "NULLIFICATION" of the act is the RIGHTFUL REMEDY: that every State has a natural right in cases not within the compact, (casus non fœderis) to NULLIFY of their OWN AUTHORITY ALL assumptions of power by others within their limits: that without this "RIGHT", they would be under the dominion, absolute and unlimited, of whosoever might exercise this right of judgment for them: "

To ignore the intent set by  these original authors, would be to attempt dissolution of the entire Constitution.



Or as John Locke 227 presents: "The "Umpirage" is removed when the legislature acts contrary to the end they "were" constituted, destroying the authority given to them by the consent of the people."


It is clear that the Constitution was never meant to be distorted to the extent that the president, federal government or legislature would be able to act without authorization by the states or beyond the limits set and delegated by the Constitution.


George Mason: "...But I wish a clause in the Constitution, with respect to "all" powers which are not granted, that they are retained by the states.

Otherwise, the power of providing for the "general welfare" may be perverted to its "destruction"."


This is exactly what has happened in this country;

From the federal government assuming non-delegated powers within the states through federal Non-delegated (in the Original Compact) "departments"; and non-enumerated taxation in the form of the income tax;

To the states and federal governments granting "exclusive privileges" in the form and design of  allowing the creation and existence of corporations, unions and special interest entities;

As presented in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, it is the right and duty of the "states" to arrest these evils.


Declaration of Independence:

37th Grievance: "We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in general congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these united colonies are, and "of right" "ought to be", free and "independent" states;"

39th Grievance: "and that as free and independent states they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of "right" do."

---------------

g.) Does anyone think that these patriots died for another differently named central government not unlike the one they just left and where fighting with their lives to remove?

Read the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions by the Authors of both the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution.

What greater Engagement is there than a oath given by the founders, representatives and people of their lives in the Declaration to uphold?!

The sole purpose and reasons for freedom are within that Declaration and the intents written in the early letters.

Clearly as written in the Constitution Article VI, that the Constitution is bound by prior Oaths which are Engagements of the People, declared in The Declaration of Independence, and all agreements set forth in the Confederation; All those and future laws subject ultimately to those oaths which are "Engagements" of and with the People presented in the Declaration of Independence.

The Constitution would never have existed without the Declaration of Independence; and it, and all law, is bound by its intents and defined by the letters of the originating Founding Fathers of 1776.

Freedom is "defined" in these certain inalienable rights;

And being "certain" and "inalienable", these rights cannot be given away, voted away by man or his representatives, surrounded by limiting requirements (infringed) set of any man, government or institution, lost by folly to others, or sold.

Here it is defined in the letters by Samuel Adams:

-------------------

 "If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."

Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772

--------------------


3.) Know where the Constitution has been Corrupted so you can understand where the changes need to take place and safeguards set.

Know that the Federal Government of this country is a bureaucracy, it is not Freedom. Federalism is not freedom. Nationalism and national pride is not freedom. Borders are not freedom. Symbols are not freedom. Flags are not freedom.

Establish your understanding of freedom through the foundation of the Declaration of Independence and the "Originating" Founders Letters.

Freedom is certain, inalienable, rights. And these rights are defined. They are not anything you want them to be.

If certain inalienable rights are breached at all, (by vote, by reason or other) you have nothing more than simply another form of "socialism".

There is many faces of socialism, but they are still socialism.

Examples of where the original Constitution has been Breached and Certain Inalienable Rights corrupted:


   a.) Inalienable right Grievance 17 of the Declaration of Independence: No taxation without our "Consent";

Breached by the 16th amendment of the Constitution; Income tax was declared unconstitutional by the the supreme court; so what did these socialists do? They took an inalienable right that protected us and usurped it by changing the Constitution; and calling it then "Constitutional".

Results: Unlimited funds for the federal social bureaucracy machine.

What did the founding fathers of Freedom say about such acts of treason?

In defining Tyranny in government the Declaration of Independence presents:

17th Grievance: For imposing taxes on us without our consent;


Declaration of Independence opening paragraphs:

That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.


Samuel Adams, Rights of the Colonists, 1772:

"If men through fear, fraud or mistake, should in terms renounce and give up any essential natural right, the eternal law of reason and the great end of society, would absolutely vacate such renunciation; the right to freedom being the gift of God Almighty, it is not in the power of Man to alienate this gift, and voluntarily become a slave."

-----------------

This letter of Intent presents clearly that Inalienable Rights cannot even willingly be given away for any reason.

The 16th Amendment, income tax and taxation of any kind without each person's willing "Consent" is and continues to be unconstitutional, and in direct conflict of our certain inalienable rights, freedom and a free country.

The forced income tax has not only funds unlimited growth in bureaucracies, it also provides unlimited funds for "exclusive privileges" such as corporations and unions through government contracts; and special interests through tax right offs and loop holes.

Exclusive privileges were warned against by the founders in the Constitutional Debates and by George Mason in the Virginia Declaration of Rights #4.


   b.) Inalienable Right Grievance 36 & 37 of the Declaration of Independence: define Independent States Rights as the purpose;

37th Grievance: "We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in general congress assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the World for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states;"

39th Grievance: "and that as free and independent states they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do."

Breached by small the Portions of the Articles of Confederacy, Huge manipulations of the authors of the Federalist Papers and Federalists, the Constitution and Civil War.

Results: subjugation of independent states to a National Central Controlling federal socialist government.


   c.) Inalienable right of a people to secede from any government: Declared in the Declaration of Independence opening paragraphs:

"When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the "separate and equal station" to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

Breached by the Federalist Papers, the Constitution and Civil War.

Results: subjugation of independent states to a National Central Controlling federal socialist government.


   d.) Inalienable right Grievance 12 of the Declaration of Independence and founder's intent: The right of the Civilians to possess greater powers than the standing army.

12th Grievance:  "He has affected to render the military independent of and superior to the civil power".

Breached by numerous federal gun laws.

In addition to federal gun laws imposed by the National Firearms Act (1934), Gun Control Act (1968), Firearms Owner`s Protection Act (1986), Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (1993), the 1994 Omnibus Crime Control Act and other laws, most states and some local jurisdictions have imposed their own firearms restrictions.

Results: subjugation of independent states and free individuals inalienable rights from even their own states to a National Central Controlling federal socialist government which also use administrative rules as if they were law. .

  - subjugation of free individuals inalienable rights from Counties by Total democracy (socialist) majority passed laws

   - subjugation to Laws of Corporations - this as Cities are corporations, and create their own gun laws against the individual.

   - subjugation and refusal of the right of a free people to use such inalienable rights to remove such government as defined in the Declaration of Independence defined therein as your First Right and duty:  "if any government ...... evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government..."


   e.) Inalienable right Grievance 4 of the Declaration of Independence:

4th Grievance: "He has called together legislative bodies, at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the repository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures."

Breached by State "Administrative laws" that can force people to drive long distances to "Hearings" and face appointed judges federal and state, with no juries;

This occurring, long before the trial in an area local to them, and where findings of the Hearing, are given weight at the trial.

The findings derived for which information was gathered together from the individual under great duress to the individual because of this distance.

Corporate and legal agreements (small print) that cause grievances of an individual also to be held in a state or location far from the place of the occurrence.

Results: subjugation to unconcerned contractors of law which have been contracted by the state and federal governments following administrative rules as if they were law; Which fatiguing individuals into compliance with state and federal measures, limits the ability to provide witnesses, presenting them with unfamiliar surroundings in which to bring and find needed information.

Subjugation to corporate tactics using the same effect but greater, as such agreements can cause people to travel thousands of miles to defend themselves.


   f.) Inalienable right Grievance 10 of the Declaration of Independence:

The right to have a noninvasive non-complicated small non-intrusive and inexpensive government.

10th Grievance "... He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance."

Breached by:  Huge ever expanding government caused by our "representatives" lack of understanding of true freedom and owing to union and corporate constituents who have unlimited funds to lobby.

Results: subjugation to an ever increasing government imposed bureaucracy, Loss of individuals certain, inalienable, rights; increased and ever varied taxes  from bureaucracies and programs that eat out our substance.



I hope this was a clear picture as to the depth that the federal socialist government, corrupt representatives, its judges, has corrupted this free country.


4.) Know that the Constitution does not overwrite the Declaration of Independence or any of the Certain Inalienable Rights that are the Basis and Foundation of Freedom.

   a.) Rights, which are Supreme Law in a truly free country, are Certain and Inalienable.

Rights that cannot be taken away, given away, voted away, changed, sold or altered by any individual, government or entity. They are indeed Certain Inalienable Rights.



About Membership in the American Patriot Party States Parties and the Oregon Patriot Party The purpose of membership allows us to register candidates in the various states and also gives the party respect and credibility to the media, general public and lawmakers. We do not require you to revoke any current membership with other political parties. On the contrary, we highly recommend that you keep your membership in your current political party until we have enough registered members in your state. So you can be a registered Republican or Democrat and an American Patriot Party Member at the same time. Even after we have enough registered members, you may still wish to retain your current political party membership and vote the American Patriot Party Platform. This is entirely acceptable, as substance will always exceed titles in the American Patriot Party. Your membership is very important to the party. Its fast, easy and free. All information is kept strictly confidential and will never be sold or traded. Mission Statement The American Patriot Party and Oregon Patriot Party are for the education and strengthening of the meanings, rights and powers originally drafted in the Declaration of Independence and by the founding fathers of this country. That the states shall be free and independent respectfully, wherein the 39th Grievance of the Declaration of Independence clearly states: "... and that as free and independent states they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do." The Declaration of Independence we believe is the defining document which bears a free peoples First Right and Duty. All those who fought and died for the cause of freedom fought and died for the words in this document alone. That "first right and duty" is clearly defined where in it states if "any form of government" oversteps its bounds, this includes the Constitution,  the Federal government, or "any form" of government, it is the peoples right and duty to "correct it" or "throw it out"; This is the first Right and Duty of a true Patriot of Freedom, Wherein it states clearly: Declaration of Independence: "That, to secure "these" rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever "any form" of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the "right" of "the people" to "alter" or to "abolish" it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient suffering of these colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government." Our mission is to make America the free America that it was intended and outlined in the Declaration of Independence. More complete National stands on issues will be be posted on an ongoing basis.
