~
Institutionalized Citizen Vigilance
~ Defense of the Constitution
~
Education of Our Nation
The We The
People Congress is a nationwide,
non-partisan, not-for-profit membership
organization of constitutional activists
committed to "institutionalizing" citizen
vigilance through civic education,
monitoring of governments, and organizing
grassroots programs of civic resistance to
confront and repel tyranny.
Based on the life work of Thomas Jefferson,
the Congress is organized into local state
and county "ward republics." The Congress
works closely with the
WTP Foundation to achieve its mission to
restore Constitutional Order and reclaim
Liberty.
Our current work focuses centrally around
the long-forgotten First Amendment Right to
Petition. The Congress is determined to
resurrect the "Capstone Right" of the Bill
of Rights as an exercise of the People's
natural Right to Sovereignty over their
servant governments.
The Right to Petition is the
profound, peaceful and constitutional
solution that will save our Republic and
restore Constitutional Order to our nation.

Ron Paul “Responds”
to Petitions for
Redress
Government Puts
Kibosh On Hunger
Fast
Thus far, Texas Rep.
Ron Paul has
“responded” to the
Petitions for
Redress by having
them “forwarded to
the Clerk of the
House.”
While such a move is
unique among the
Members of the
House, and is not a
bad first step in
etching the concept
of Government
accountability into
the minds of some of
the Members and
advancing ever so
slightly the
question of the
constitutional
meaning of the last
ten words of the
First Amendment, it
is highly unlikely
that the Petitions
for Redress will
advance to House
Committees for
consideration, much
less a vote to
provide Redress.
With the possible
exception of Ron
Paul, we know of no
other politician
willing to consider
the notion of being
held accountable to
the People outside
the periodic
electoral process.

UPDATE: Plan to
Restore
Constitutional Order
Will Rep. Ron Paul
Provide Redress?
This nation is
rushing headlong
into debt,
dependency and
decay.
Unconstitutional
acts have become the
precedent for more
of the same,
which become
precedent for still
further acts of
despotism.
Can the People elect
their way out of
such tyranny?
Unfortunately, no!
It is not possible,
as Ron Paul’s
candidacy has
proven. Every time
he exposed the
constitutional truth
regarding an issue
(e.g., the
undeclared Iraq war
and the Federal
Reserve System) he
lost a block of
voters who possess
a vested interest in
the status quo.
What then is the
solution?

TRUST: The Plan
Depends On It
Bob Schulz Coming To
A Theater Near You?
WTP’s Plan to
Restore
Constitutional Order
is on track, but
running behind
schedule.
By now, the
Petitions for
Redress should have
been delivered to
every member of
Congress and we
should have been
able to proudly
proclaim, “Congress
has been served!”
Unfortunately, we're
not quite there yet.
To begin with, we
timely mailed 1219
sets of Petition
packages to over 700
people who
volunteered to serve
535 members of
Congress in their
district offices on
June 30, 2008, and
to return to us a
notarized proof of
service.
By July 3rd
and again after the
July 4th
weekend we had
received and were
processing hundreds
of returns from
volunteers who had
successfully
completed service.
However, by July 10th
it was apparent that
129 of the 535
members of Congress
had still not been
served!

"PUBLICITY BOMB"
HERE:
FREE AND EASY TOOL
June 30, 2008 may go
down in history as
the day Americans
began, in earnest,
the moral and solemn
process of holding
their Government
accountable to the
Constitution by
directly exercising
their unalienable
and individual Right
of
Redress, rather than
depending upon the
will of the majority
of votes as cast
in local precincts,
the halls of
Congress or the
inner chambers of
our
courthouses.

The Constitutional
Conspiracy:
Courts Colluding
With White House
to Avoid
Accountability
The proof is in. The
federal courts have
been found to be
co-conspirators with
the Executive Branch
in a collusive
scheme to avoid
being held
accountable to the
Constitution by the
People.
There can be no
doubt. The federal
judiciary is now
being utilized as an
weapon
of oppression rather
than for the ends of
Justice for which it
was designed.
Not only has the
Judiciary abandoned
its role as an
independent arbiter
of legal
controversies
involving injured
citizens seeking
remediation for
Government wrongs,
the Judiciary now
refuses to even
discuss the most
basic, underlying
Founding Principles
upon which our
Republic rests,
i.e., the Rights of
the People to
Sovereignty and to
hold Government
accountable --
particularly its
obligation to
respond to Petitions
for Redress of
constitutional torts
as provided by the
First Amendment.
The most egregious
result of these
developments is that
not only are the
People effectively
unable to secure
Redress against
Government entities
that have harmed
them, but the
Judiciary has now
abdicated its
fundamental function
under the
Constitution by
refusing to
interpret the
Constitution where
questions of the
Sovereignty of the
People are
implicated.

“SHAMEFUL AND
TREASONOUS”
Petition for
Rehearing Filed
in Landmark
Right-to-Petition
Case
Taking advantage of
one final procedural
step to ask the U.S.
Supreme
Court to hear the
landmark Right to
Petition case, on
February 1st
Bob Schulz filed a
Petition for
Rehearing.
“According to its
own precedent, this
Court would be
abdicating its duty
and committing
treason to the
Constitution if it
fails to [accept
jurisdiction
and hear this case]”
wrote Schulz.
“Tyranny marks a
government that
ignores its free
People.”
Schulz also wrote
that it would be
“shameful” for the
Court to fail to
hear this first
impression question
of extreme public
importance involving
the interpretation
of the Constitution
while agreeing to
hear the
probate/bankruptcy/defamation
case of Anna Nicole
Smith.
“Shall the People in
republican America,
with its written
Constitution for the
protection of the
public Rights and a
body of strictly
limited powers, now
be forbidden to do
that which the
Framers’ intended?”
asked Schulz.

The Wait Is Almost
Over
Decision Expected
Before GML 2007
Register Now for the
Conference!
Within months, in
all probability just
before the Easter
break, the hot topic
of the day in every
single law school in
America will be the
decision by the U.S.
Court of Appeals in
our case entitled,
We The People v.
The
U.S. Government.
Given the enormous
and far-reaching
implications of this
decision, either in
favor of the People
or against them, law
school professors
everywhere will be
anxious to analyze
and “mine” the
decision, discussing
it in their faculty
and academic forums
and bringing it the
attention of the
young minds that
fill their
classrooms. Many
will likely rush to
further explore the
gravity of the
ruling and publish
articles in Law
Review journals.
It will be an
exciting time,
indeed -- especially
for the ordinary
non-aligned citizen
taxpayers of this
great Country.
The excitement will
permeate Give Me
Liberty 2007, our
three-day conference
scheduled for March
29-31.
Think about it. For
the first time in
the entire history
of our nation --
since the adoption
of our Bill of
Rights in 1791-- a
Court is about to
declare the legal
meaning of one of
the five individual
Rights guaranteed by
the First
Amendment.
Not just any Right,
but the mother of
all Rights -- the
Right that caps all
the others, the
so-called “Capstone
Right.”

The First
Amendment Right to Petition Government
and the Right to Peacefully Secure Redress
by Withholding Taxes

Here's what our Founders
had to say about the
Right to Petition:
"If
money is wanted by Rulers
who have in any manner
oppressed the People,
they
may retain it
until their grievances
are redressed,
and thus peaceably
procure relief,
without trusting to
despised petitions or
disturbing the public
tranquility."
