What is the best way to contact your Congressman or
Senator?
We no longer have to sit down and handwrite our letters to our US Congressman or Senators. There are WEB sites available
were you can type in your own letter, paste in a letter which you had written previously, or even use as is or modify a "canned"
letter on a particular subject. This is particularly convenient if you agree with the folks who own the WEB site & wrote
the letter!
The elected official will want your address to verify that you're from his district. However, you'll only have to type
it in once; many WEB sites give you the option of having it "remember" your name & address from a particular computer
(I assume it puts a "cookie" on the computer. I wonder if it passes out any chocolate donuts also?).
In any event, here's a link below to a particularly conveninet WEB site. Note that it has "canned" letters on "key" subjects
as well as the option of inserting your own (either type it in or paste it in).
I've started a page of "canned" letters under Write Them! Feel free to "copy & paste" using these letter also. This,
of course, assumes you agree with what I've written! Well, hopefully you'll agree more often than not.
If you're interested in contacting your Congressman or Senators concerning a particular subject (in which we're likely
to agree), but don't want to write the letter yourself, let me know. If it relates to protecting our Liberty, our National
Sovereignty, and reigning in the Federal Government, I'll be more than happy to write the letter and post it under Write
Them!
Please let me know how I can make this site more useful to you.

Dr. Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty We must protect our remaining Liberties, and
restore those we have lost, by restoring our US Constitution through the one branch of the Federal Government which the Founding
Fathers intened for We, the People, to elect directly; the US House of Representatives. You Tube (Search for "Ron Paul") Please do take a look around: get informed and get involved! Some links to outstanding sites are provided here.
Note that: Our military is stationed in over 140 foreign countries. Over 4,000 Americans and tens of thousands, if not well over several hundred thousand, Iraqis have been killed in Iraq. The same crazies who lied us into Iraq are spreading the same lies to lead to an attack on Iran.
Our Liberties are under attack under the guise of the favored "War" of the moment (terror, drugs, etc etc)
Our freedoms are being taken from us in the name of "Homeland Security" at the same time that our government refuses to secure our borders.
Our domestic manufacturing and agricultural base is being choked to death by Federal taxes and regulations the same time that tariffs are being eliminated on foreign producers. Our jobs and standard of living are being "outsourced" in the name of "Free Trade".
Our Federal Government has a debt of over $8.8 TRILLION.
We are losing our national sovereignty to the UN, the WTO, and countless other "World Government" agencies.
Our Federal Constitution is ignored by those in government.
But - we can correct it! Get informed - Get involved!
Also - pray for God to forgive us. |

Ah! fredome is a nobill thing! "All murderers are punished unless they
kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets."
Voltaire War on Iraq!!!! Where is Congress' Declaration
of War? May they delegate it to George Bush? James Madison, the Father of the Constitution,
told us when he proclaimed: "The power to declare war, including
the power of judging the causes of war, is fully and exclusively vested in the legislature . . . The Executive has no right,
in any case, to decide the Question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war." and “The constitution supposes, what the
History of all Governments demonstrates, that the Executive is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone
to it. It has accordingly with studied care vested the question of war to the Legislature.” Furthermore, George Washington had this to
say: "The constitution vests the power of declaring
war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated
upon the subject and authorized such a measure." Thomas Jeffersons told us: “We have already given in example one effectual check to the dog of war
by transferring the power of letting him loose from the Executive to the Legislative body. . . .” (Letter to Madison,
1789.) “Considering that Congress alone is constitutionally
invested with the power of changing our condition from peace to war, I have thought it my duty to await their authority for
using force in any degree which could be avoided.” (Message to Congress, 1805.) And James Wilson noted at the Pennsylvania
Convention to ratify the Constitution in 1878: “This system will not hurry us into war;
it is calculated to guard against it. It will not be in the power of a single man, or a single body of men, to involve us
in such distress; for the important power of declaring war is vested in the legislature at large. . . .”
What is a Whig?
In Old England, a Whig favored having "Power" divided and the preponderance of that power
in the hands of the Legislature , rather than concentrated in the hands of one individual - The King. Their ideas on
the diffusion of "Power" greatly influenced our Nation's Founding Fathers. Our Constitution was designed to not only define
and diffuse powers between three separate branches (the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary) of the Federal Government,
but also to limit those powers to those explicitely defined in the Constitution, with the balance of the "Power" going to
the States and The People.
During our first War for Independance, the "Whigs" favored independence, whereas the "Tories" favored King George.
Like any political term, "Whig" came to mean other things over the centuries, some not so positive (remember when being a
"Conservative" meant that you favored individual liberty and minimal government?). In fact, in America, the Whig Party strayed
far from its English roots, and eventually drove itself into well deserved extinction. However, for purposes of this site,
we'll keep the meaning from Old England.
