CALLING A SPADE A SPADE: WE have not been living under our Consititutional Republic since 1933!
---------------------
Is it pretty much common knowledge that we have been operating under a State of Emergency since 1933? And that in effect our Constitution has been suspended since that time? I've heard this before, but never had it presented so succinctly and clearly as below. We have been hoodwinked all this time...and every Congressman that has held office has bought into this great lie? It is hard to fathom the depths of this duplicity.
....that is until we watch in horror as the so-called Democratic Party is openly attempts to destroy what little idea we have left of freedom through the destruction of our election process. THIS IS NOT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF MY Grandfather. This is the party of TOTALITARIANISM hiding in the cloak of the Democrats. But I suspect that it has been waiting in the wings a very long time.
And don't get me wrong...I don't think the Republicans have a record that is any better...just different. Their closet hides a sort of different monster, the Corporate Oligarchy(?). Gee...what great choices we have left for ourselves...

P.S. Of course, to further buttress the realization: The fully ratified Original 13th Amendment (which really makes criminals of just about everybody currently holding Federal Office) was 'eliminated' by no longer printing it in copies of the Constitution. And then by 'writing a new 13th Amendment' so that people would be confused. If they could do that, then they could just as easily commit the crime spelled out below. Seems to me, there has been a lot of treason going on in this country for a very long time!

Resolution #5, as adopted unanimously by the GOP of Texas Executive Committee 6/17/95

Resolution as adopted by the California Republican Assembly 3/26/95

Resolution of the Republican Party of Texas
Restoration of the United States Constitution
Adopted by unanimous vote on June 17, 1995 by the Republican Party of Texas State Executive Committee RESOLUTION # 5

Whereas, The Republican Party of Texas recognizes that acts of the Congressional body and the Office of the President of the United States of America created an emergency condition, and that on and after March 6, 1933 and March 9, 1933 the same said Public Offices effectively impaired and suspended the Constitution for the United States of America under pretense of these same created emergency conditions, and that the impairments and disabilities yet exist and are in full force and effect throughout the Nation and several States of the Union as of the date of this resolution”; and
Whereas, there has occurred continuous breach of trust, duty and obligation imposed under authority of the Constitution for the United States of America, resulting in a continued abridgment of the Rights, Privileges, Immunities, and Liberties of Citizens and others, all committed under pretense of a continuing national crisis and furtherance of emergency conditions”; and

Whereas, In the “Foreword” of United States Senate Report 93-549 it states “Since March 9, 1933, the United States of America has been in a declared state of national emergency which has not been resolved during the last 62 years”; and

Whereas, Senate Report 93-549 admits and professes that “This vast range of powers taken together confers enough authority to rule our country without reference to normal constitutional process”; and

Whereas, in Title 12 United States Code it is arbitrarily declared that “The actions, regulation, rules, licenses, orders and proclamations heretofore or hereafter taken, promulgated, made, or issued by the President of the United States or the Secretary of Treasury since March 4, 1933, pursuant to the authority conferred by subsection (b) of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended [12 USCS sec 95a], are hereby approved and confirmed.. (Mar. 9, 1933, c.1, Title 1, sec 1, 48 Stat. 1.)”. We therefore recognize that every order issued by the President since March 9, 1933, or any order issued thereafter was and is automatically approved and confirmed. These powers being conferred under purported authority of the Act of October 6, 1917, as amended on March 9, 1933, are strictly the War Powers, and have been wrongfully used against the several States of the Union and the People (See Stoehr vs. Wallace 255 US 239) ;and

Whereas, our forefathers recognizing these same conditions wrote to the British Parliament and King of Great Britain in The Declaration of Rights of 1774: “Whereas, since the close of the last war, the British Parliament, claiming a power of right to bind the people of America, by statute, in all cases whatsoever, hath in some acts expressly imposed taxes on them, and in others, under various pretenses, but in fact for the purpose of raising a revenue, hath imposed rates and duties payable in these colonies established a board of commissioners, with unconstitutional powers , and extended the jurisdiction of courts of admiralty, not only for collecting the said duties, but for the trial of causes merely arising within the body of a county.

And Whereas, in consequence of other statutes, judges, who before held only estates at will in their offices, have been made dependent on the Crown alone for their salaries, and standing armies kept in times of peace... Today under pretense of the emergency and reorganization the mischief has been recreated and reinstituted within the Nation and several States of the Union, and has once again left the people without any plain, speedy or adequate remedy, and is wholly contrary to the true original extent and end of the Union and civil Government as ordained and established by the People; and

Whereas, In November, 1994 our Republican State Governors unanimously adopted the Williamsburg Resolve. In it, they said: "The challenges to the liberties of the people... comes from our own Federal government that has defied, and now ignores, virtually every constitutional limit fashioned by the framers to confine its reach and thus to guard the freedoms of the people" and that "Federal action has exceeded the clear bounds of... the Constitution, and thus violated the rights guaranteed to the people"; and

Whereas, George Washington forewarned the Nation and several States of the Union in his 1796 farewell address "If in the opinion of the people the distribution or modification of the constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this in one instance may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed... "; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Texas being duly apprised of the continuing emergency declared on March 9, 1933, demands that the Gold and Silver Coin be fully reinstated and maintained as the lawful money and tender of payment of debts within the United States of America, and that any and all notes and obligations heretofore or hereinafter issued be brought back to and maintained at par value with the said Coin”; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that The Republican Party of Texas hereby demands the rescinding of the Emergency Banking Relief Act of March 9, 1933 and all subsequent related acts thereunder and demands a Presidential proclamation declaring the related state of national emergency declared on March 9, 1933 terminated thereby returning the United States of America to its original peacetime Constitutional Republic.

Adopted by unanimous vote on June 17, 1995 by the Republican Party of Texas State Executive Committee

Whereas: Under the power delegated by these statutes the President may seize property, organize and control means of production, seize commodities, assign forces abroad, institute martial law, seize and control all transportation and communication, regulate the operation of private enterprise, restrict travel, and control the lives of the lives of the American people; and
