IMPORTANT - do not confuse this party with other similar named parties (such as .org): Read our Welcome Summary by clicking this link, then return. 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, would be null and void;
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

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:
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."
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 a militia amounting to near half a million citizens with arms in their hands, "officered by men chosen from "among themselves", fighting for "their" common liberties and united and conducted by government"s" possessing their affections and confidence.
It may well be doubted whether a militia thus circumstanced could ever be conquered by such a proportion of regular troops.
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.
