What We Believe

As patriots, our core principles, or what we believe, may be summed up in the word Americanism.

What is Americanism?

Americanism is defined and concisely stated in the first two paragraphs of The Declaration of Independence:

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.

We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness—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 new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to affect their Safety and Happiness.

So the main points of Americanism are:

1. Eternal (or Divine) Law – God through the Law of Nature has ordained independent nations, as well as the universal laws of human behavior.
2. Inherent Rights – God gives rights to individual man, created equally free and independent.
3. Republicanism – Men create governments with strictly defined powers to secure their rights.  (The Consent of the Governed)
4. Popular Sovereignty/Revolutionism – The people voluntarily form societies, frame their governments, and can alter or abolish their government at their discretion.
5. Constitutionalism – The people define the principles and organize the form of their government through a Constitution, which is their expressed will and supreme law.

So what is a Republic?  And what is meant by republicanism or a republican form of government?

The word Republic comes from the Latin words res (thing), and publica (public or people), and means the public (or the people’s) thing.  So a republic is the thing (commonwealth or body politic with accompanying government) which the public creates.  The two main features are rule by:

The Law:  or in our case the Constitution, which is the Supreme Law and the Expressed Will of the People

And

Representation:  rule by representative bodies and magistrates chosen by and emanating from the People

Definition of a Republic by the Framers:

In Federalist #39, James Madison states:

[W]e may define a republic to be, or at least may bestow that name on, a government which derives all its powers directly or indirectly from the great body of the people, and is administered by persons holding their offices during pleasure for a limited period, or during good behavior.  It is essential to such a government that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion or favored class of it… It is sufficient for such a government that persons administering it be appointed, either directly or indirectly, by the people; and that they hold their appointments by either of the tenures just specified; .  

The great Ends to which our founders directed the foregoing principles and form of government are the Safety and Happiness of the People.

No other nation in history has been so blessed, has prospered so greatly, and has afforded its people such liberty, opportunity, and security;  and all because of what our founders gave us through the Providence of Almighty God.  I encourage you to view the following 30-minute video presentation entitled Overview of America, for a concise and inspiring summary of the principles that have made America great, and the revival of which will be necessary to make America great again!  This short little video contains precious insights in a few minutes that, unfortunately, you won’t get in many years attending most educational institutions in America.  Enjoy

• We believe in American Independence and Sovereignty
• We believe in the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God
• We believe in the God-given inalienable rights of man
• We believe in the Consent of the Governed or republicanism
• We believe in the Constitution as originally intended by the Framers
• We believe the States, as the parties to the Compact, are the ultimate arbiters of the meaning of the Constitution, and have the right and power to nullify all unconstitutional acts of the federal government
• We believe in protecting the Right to Life for all persons, born or unborn
• We believe in private property, free enterprise capitalism, an armed citizenry, secure borders and strict immigration laws
• We believe in restoring American manufacturing and industrial self-sufficiency in all things essential to national survival and independence
• We believe in open and robust commerce with friendly nations, who respect human rights, according to the discretion of Congress
• We believe in fair and mutually beneficial trade deals with friendly foreign nations, but oppose multinational trade agreements where trade is managed by supranational regional and global trade bodies (WTO, NAFTA, TPP, etc.)
• We believe in restoring American sovereignty by getting out of entangling alliances such as the UN and all its subsidiaries (WTO, WHO, IMF and World Bank, etc.)
• We believe in a strong American Military to protect American citizens and American sovereign soil, that we should bring our troops home, and that no extended deployments of troops should exist absent a Congressional declaration of war or letter of marque and reprisal
• We believe in sound Constitutional money, i.e., gold and silver coin; and we call for an end to the federal reserve system and fiat currency based on fractional reserve banking
• We believe in trustworthy, verifiable elections conducted locally, and in person, on paper ballots; and we support many substantive reforms through the legislature to ensure the integrity of the voting process, but especially by restoring control of our county boards of elections and Secretary of State’s office to trustworthy and honest people.
• We believe there are no such things as “Emergency Powers.”  There are only constitutionally authorized powers and duly enacted laws.  All mandates and restrictions under the current so-called health crisis must end immediately.  They are null and void, and should be resisted.
• We believe that We The People must take back working control of our government through local action in our counties and precincts to force constitutional restraints on our local, state, and federal governments, and to restore justice, liberty, and prosperity to the United States of America

Consult our detailed Action Plan on our website, and get involved in your County today.  We literally need boots on the ground, those who will be active and reach out in their neighborhoods and communities.  We are not really about the accumulation of knowledge, spreading information, or having the right ideas (we already have that), but we are about creating a mechanism for obtaining political power and enforcing the Constitution and our founding principles on our local, state, and federal governments.  In short, we are about seizing control of America.  After all, it is our nation; it is our inheritance.  It belongs to We The People.  Let’s take it back.
