Ed. note:
This update regards the
upcoming historic Continental Congress 2009 event
to be held later this year. As part of CC 2009,
delegates selected by the People from each of the
fifty states will convene to discuss the
Government’s ongoing violations of the
Constitution and strategies the People can employ
to peaceably curtail the abuse. Although these
violations have been widely debated for years, it
is the Government’s patent refusal to respond to
any and all First Amendment Petitions for Redress
that now compel the People to justly and actively
resist the tyranny.
We strongly encourage our readers to review
each of our
latest updates.
At a minimum, please be sure to read our “Summit
Call”
and “Line
in the Sand” web
articles
which provide a good overview of the
constitutional crisis and CC 2009
initiative.

|
Whew! What a project. And it’s just
beginning.
We are engaged in a most serious struggle between
good and evil, between defenders of our Republic and
proponents of democracy. Our political parties and
elected officials have seized power from the People.
A doctrine of non-resistance by a free People to
arbitrary power and oppression is absurd. |
CC 2009 will be “awe-inspiring.” The cause of
America is the cause of the world.
We intend to webcast the entire proceedings, thereby
educating people the world over about the great
American experiment in Liberty and Freedom: the
history, meaning, effect and significance of every
provision of the Declaration of Independence and
Constitution; the factual evidence of the violations
of the Constitution by our elected officials; the
factual evidence of the People’s repeated Petitions
for Redress (Remedy) of those violations; the
factual evidence of the repeated refusals by our
elected officials to respond to those Petitions for
Redress except by repeated injury; and the
justified, non-violent course of action the Free
People of America must now follow to restore their
Constitutional Republic, and insure that the lamp of
Liberty is to remain burning not only for us but for
oppressed people the world over.
The problem the People must address is the unwillingness of
our elected officials to be chained down by anything
but the will of the majority voting in our election
precincts, in the halls of Congress and on the bench
at SCOTUS.
The free People of America must now speak out, reminding
those around the world that we are, as they are too,
a free people whose Rights are Natural, Unalienable
and Individual, endowed as they are by the Creator,
and most certainly not dependent upon a grant by any
government or the will of any majority.
Status Summary of CC 2009
STATES:
Bob has now met with
audiences in nearly half the states. He is preparing
to leave on a trip to visit the remaining states,
beginning with South Carolina.
Click here for the new
meeting schedule.
SOME OBSERVATIONS: It is imperative that all 50 states be represented at CC
2009. We find these
initial meetings are absolutely necessary in helping
to jump-start each state into action, including the
identification of State Coordinators and teams of
people within each state who are willing to work
under the general direction of their State
Coordinator(s) to accomplish the initial tasks of
outreach, delegate selection and fundraising for
their state’s delegation.
We have found that People have needed to “size up”
Bob and WTP before deciding to get behind the CC
2009; they have questions that need to be answered;
they want a first-hand explanation of what CC 2009
is and why it is so necessary.
We find most interesting that many accomplished
people, who knew little about Bob and WTP, have been
attending the meetings, and have come to offer their
skills in the areas of marketing, public relations,
communications, technology, fundraising, and
organizational development. In addition, experienced
people have offered to prepare an opening and
closing ceremony!
ORGANIZATION:
We are preparing a strategic PLAN to guide the work
and track the progress of a “cabinet-level”
interdisciplinary project management team, as well
as the work and progress of the 50
intermediate-level teams.
The “cabinet” and each of the 50 state teams are in
the process of setting up initial and weekly
conference calls.
The long awaited reprogramming of the 50 state
websites has been completed, enabling the State
Coordinators to add the contact information for each
member of their management team and to add or delete
the names and contact information of their county
coordinators.
Separate PayPal accounts are being set up for each
of the 50 states to reimburse State Coordinators for
certain expenses and to cover the expenses of their
state delegation to CC 2009.
VENUE:
We are in receipt of proposals from a number of
attractive venues. We have visited three last week
and will be visiting others next week.
SCHEDULE:
CC 2009 is now scheduled to begin on June 7 and run
through the July 4th weekend, or to begin
on the July 4th weekend.
SUCCESS DEPENDS ON YOU:
WTP is merely suggesting and facilitating CC 2009. In truth, the CC 2009
initiative is, and must be, an initiative of the
People.
The WTP organization has no role except: 1) to
travel to each state to explain to whoever will
listen what a CC is and why we need one; 2) to
kick-start the states into action by encouraging and
working with them as they set up teams of volunteers
with complimentary skill-sets, and the
communications systems necessary to accomplish the
work needed in the months leading up to CC 2009 and
beyond; 3) to arrange a system whereby the people of
each state can nominate and choose their delegates
and pay their expenses; 4) to find a suitable
location for CC 2009 and to pay for it; 5) to
arrange for coverage of CC 2009 via the World Wide
Web, and pay for it; 6) to publicize CC 2009 across
America and to pay to keep the news of the event and
its progress in front of the general public; 7) to
inform each of the 50 Governors and state
legislatures about CC 2009 and, out of a respect for
the critical role the states have been given in our
Constitutional Republic, to invite them to send a
representative(s) to observe the delegates’
deliberations, discussions, debates and decision
making process; and 7) to do whatever else we may be
called upon to do in support of CC 2009.
The People of each state will nominate and choose the
delegates. The delegates assembled will represent
the People and adopt their own policies, procedures
and deliverables.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We have found it necessary to respond to many questions about
CC 2009, explaining the difference between and the
desirability of a Continental Congress over a
Constitutional Convention, the legal authority the
People have to act in this way, the specifics
regarding the Constitutional violations, delegate
selection process, how it will work and various
“what ifs.”
We need to add a FAQ section to our Web Site. Any volunteers?
Nifty New 10 Minute YouTube Video
And 80 Minute Mp3 Audio Recording
With heartfelt thanks to Nancy Craighill in
California and Bernard Carmen in North Carolina, you
have two additional tools to use in informing your
friends and associates about CC 2009.
Nancy has done a great job in preparing a
10 minute
video of the highlights of Bob’s presentation in San
Francisco. Her six-part, 1 hour version on YouTube
is available
just below.
Bernard has prepared an .mp3 audio recording
of Bob’s presentation in Asheville, NC, masterfully
editing out all pauses, “Ums,” repetitions and so
forth. It is available for downloading onto Mp3
players
here.
Bernard copied us on an email he sent to his
family, friends and associates regarding CC 2009 and
Bob’s message; we asked for and received Bernard’s
permission to publish it and we do so
here.
