Thank You !!! Members Of The Armed Services !!!
The Only Flag that doesn't flyThank you for visiting the Citizens for a
Constitutional Republic website.
Citizens for a Constitutional Republic was founded in 2004.It is our hope that we will be able to help preserve freedom and
Liberty for you, your family and future generations and to influence others and impact public policy. That as John Adams said in 1798, "Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other," and because of this we stand for and promote the general principles of morality.
Citizens for a Constitutional Republic is a nonpartisan all inclusive organization. This site is dedicated to returning The United States Of America to a Constitutional Republic, with a limited Federal Government and restoring and preserving freedom under The Constitution of the United States of America.
Part of our goal is to help educate people about how great our nation is, how it was founded, and why the principles and structure of our government were put in place. Those who formed this government, did so because the reality of tyranny and despotism had a stranglehold on their lives. Being an "American Citizen" can no longer be a SPECTATOR SPORT ! ! We must BE PROACTIVE and DECISIVE. We are losing our rights at an alarming rate.We do not have much time left to be APATHETIC.
The U.S. Constitution was never written for, nor was the U.S. system of government ever intended to be a "democracy", but rather, a "representative republic". Many of the founding fathers feared creating a "democracy".
Historically, democracy leads to anarchy, which is "mob rule," according to the The Republic (Penguin Classics)
by Greek philosopher Plato
The form of government secured by the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the Constitution is unique in history and reflects the strongly held beliefs of the American Revolutionaries.
The primary difference between a democracy and a republic is who is sovereign. In a republic, sovereign power is held by "We the People" individually such that each individual is "endowed by his creator with UNalienable rights". These rights can never be taken away by majority vote. The sole purpose of a republican government is to "secure those individual rights". In a democracy, sovereign power is invested collectively only in the group as a whole.
"Today, prolific public policies and a mammoth government ridicule the constitutional principles established by our forefathers. Our government has grown to kingly proportions, arrogantly trampling the basic rights of its citizens. The few rule the many. But because our founders had remarkable foresight, we have the constitutional protections to move government back into its proper role." Eric Gorodetzky
"There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."
-–James Madison, Speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 16, 1788.This Republic has to return to being governed by Citizen legislators not career politicians. The only voice we have in Congress today are a handfull of Congressmen that we have been able to send to Congress. All of them are in the House. To achieve our goals we must strongly support legislators that believe in the Constitution and actively seek new candidates. Write, Fax and Email elected officials and the general public. Don't be apathetic.
The closer civil government is to the people, the more responsible, responsive, and accountable it is likely to be. The Constitution, itself, in Articles I through VI, enumerates the powers which may be exercised by the federal government. Of particular importance is Article I, Section 8 which delineates the authority of the Congress.
"A constitutional republic means a representative polity established on fundamental law, each person has the right to pursue and fulfill his or her unobtrusive vision of the good life. In such a society, the common good is the cumulative product of free and equal individuals who pursue meaningful aims.
— Alexander Tsesis, in The Thirteenth Amendment and American Freedom: A Legal History
Countless government officials in the legislative, executive, and judicial branches of government take their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution with no understanding of the responsibilities that oath entails. We need Citizen legislators that will pledge to be faithful to this constitutional requirement and to work methodically to restore to the States and to the people their rightful control over legislative, judicial, executive, and regulatory functions which are not constitutionally delegated to the federal government.
The federal government was clearly established as a government of limited authority. Government has no power, except that which we the people have delegated to government through the Constitution of the United States. The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution specifically provides that: "The powers not delegated to the United States bythe Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
Over time, the limitations of federal government power imposed by the Constitution have been substantially eroded.Preservation of constitutional government requires a restoration of the balance of authority between the federal government and the States as provided in the Constitution, itself, and as intended and construed by those who framed and ratified that document.
We stand opposed to any regionalization of governments, at any level, which results in removal of decision-making powers from the people or those directly elected by the people.
To return the control of government back to the people as intended.
"The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution."
–John Adams (1735-1826) Founding Father, 2nd US President February 13, 1818The first step that must be taken is make drastic cuts in Federal regulations, spending and programs.
Greatly minimize taxes, and to limit the size, power, and function of government to the intended constraints established within the original Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Put education back in the hands of parents, not the hands Federal Government.
Stop the assault on Traditional pro-family values from radical groups, liberal activities judges, anti-God extremists, liberal teachers and the bias liberal media.
We must stop illegal immigration and reduce total immigration.
Require English for citizenship.
Stop ongoing raids on the Social Security Trust Fund and start privatizing the system.
Judges that will uphold the Constitution must be appointed and activist Judges must be impeached.
We must persistently fight the surrender of U.S.
“Hold on, my friends, to the Constitution and to the Republic for which it stands. Miracles do not cluster, and what has happened once in 6000 years, may not happen again. Hold on to the Constitution, for if the American Constitution should fail, there will be anarchy throughout the world.”
- Daniel WebsterTo permanently restore American
Nota bill should be passed. (Vote For None Of The Above)

A LETTER FROM A SOLDIER MEETING SENATOR BARACK OBAMA
Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to 'The War Zone'. I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram.
As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service.
So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you.
I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States. I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and- Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.
If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

We think our goals are summed up very well by the statement below.
The Goldwater Doctrine From "The Conscience of a Conservative"
"I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' interests, I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can." Barry Goldwater
