Petitions to whitehouse.gov.
To begin here, I must point out that it is entirely in our best interests to work for the cause of liberty in a non-violent, constitutional manner, not only for safety concerns for ourselves and loved ones, but to set the example of how the constitution can protect the liberties and freedoms we all cherish so dearly. Violence and war is a last resort, when all other avenues afforded to us by the constitution have been exhausted. We have not yet, as a country, and a complete populous, begun to scratch the surface of the powers provided to us from our forefathers. Among others, the power of nullification is a lesser known power afforded to the states and the people to overturn unjust federal laws, as well as legal action can still be taken as of this time.
But I think the petitions to this website, as well meaning and noble as many of them are, are futile.
Let's look at this logically. We are petitioning the laws and actions of the same administration that is supposed to address our concerns if these petitions acquire a certain amount of signatures. And even then, there is no guarantee that the petitions will stop the legislation/actions it is against. Mr. Obama's open ended statement on the subject when it was first introduced that he would "respond" to it if it gained more than 25,000 signatures, never says anything about overturning anything. It also leaves one to wonder, if the petition is against what the president and his administration want, are we still not awake enough to think that they will see the light of day?
When the states all started petitioning for secession, Texas and others quickly garnered enough names to achieve a response, actually, they got the vig x4 in nearly a week, and I have still heard no official response from the president. Go to the website, look at the petitions that are against the administration's policies, notice how many have enough signatures to obtain a response, and then try to find when or where the president responded to these. I assure you, you will notice a pattern.
To get down to brass tacks here, and this may seem a little cold-blooded to say, but petitioning to the White House, is like complaining to your rapist for raping you. They are raping our freedoms and liberties everyday with their tyrannical legislation, and we are petitioning them? We should be prosecuting them, not petitioning.
I know a lot of you out there are saying, "But the government controls the courts, what good would litigation do?"
Expose their corruption further. Bring to light their abuse of office, their unjust and criminal ways. The fact remains that while there are many more of us awakened than ever before, we are still outnumbered. Many more must be alerted to this tyranny, and exposing the government's tactics and policies for the criminal and treasonous acts they are, is imperative to our cause. We must use the power of nullification granted to us by the 10th amendment, and get the word out about the truth behind the supremacy clause,(article II, section VI of the U.S. Constitution).
