(Dec. 27, 2009) — In November of 2009, a historic event was held in St. Charles, IL at the Pheasant Run Resort. The event was a Continental Congress, the third to be held in our Nation’s history. Many have confused a Continental Congress with a Constitutional Convention thinking that the former is intent on re-writing the latter, but nothing could be further from the truth. The purpose of the First Continental Congress held in our Nation in 1774 was simply a meeting of delegates acting on behalf of the several states that they represented in an effort to: declare personal rights, denounce taxation without representation, petition the British Crown for a redress of Colonial grievances, and the call for a boycott of British goods.
Much like the First Continental Congress, the Continental Congress of 2009 consisted of delegates of the several states to address the Constitutional deviations by our present day Government and to reinforce Constitutional protections by redress to the Federal Government. The landmark document coming out of the Continental Congress of 2009 was a document entitled the Articles of Freedom.
The Articles of Freedom in its very essence is the reassertion of Constitutional rights and protections. The Articles of Freedom also seek to advise the populous on how to reassert our Constitutional rights. The document is long, but it is important that everyone make their best effort to read the document in its entirety. You will find yourself enlightened by the time you reach its end. The document begins with a preface that will give you a taste for the history that was made in St. Charles, IL in November of 2009. Without further adieu, here is the preface to the Articles of Freedom:
ARTICLES OF FREEDOM
*** * ***
Preface
Across many administrations and years, by each branch of government, through each major political party, the Constitution for The United States has been violated. The People have formally Petitioned the Government for Redress of the violations in the most humble of terms. The People and their Petitions have been ignored. Each un-remedied violation has taken its toll with dire impact on our economic interests, our people, our quality and way of life and our international and national reputations.
We hold this Truth to be Self- Evident:
Any action, by any branch of the Government, that is
repugnant to the Constitution, is null and void.
On November 11, 2009, and for eleven days continuing morning, noon and night, Citizens of America gathered in St. Charles, Illinois, as Delegates from each of forty-eight States, to discuss these violations, and Government’s refusal to be held accountable, and to recommend a course of action to restore Constitutional Obedience in a Constitutional Republic now challenged to Its core. These were not professional legislators, wordsmiths or attorneys.
These were ordinary, non-aligned citizens from across America and all walks of life. They set aside their lives for this Assembly. They represent You and Me, the Free People of America.
The conclusion of their efforts is This Document called
“Articles of Freedom.”
It is proposed that these Articles be distributed to All in the Land with the intent to draw the attention and courage of a “goodly number of millions of
People” who, entitled to their Freedom and essential to Its maintenance,
Arise to Restore the Constitution for the United States of America.
Then and only then shall America’s Destiny be Fulfilled.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
