What is the "Continental Congress 2009" initiative about?


America Will Suffer Until We the People Reawaken & Together, Again Embrace our Founding Principles

It’s time to hold our servant Government accountable:
Continental Congress 2009

In 1774 our Founders came to Philadelphia, assembled as representatives of the People at Independence Hall to begin a process of intense public debate regarding their crisis of governance, the nature of Liberty and the Rights of Man. Their deliberations eventually set them upon a course of action they deemed necessary, and morally justified, in order to secure Life, Liberty and Happiness for themselves and their posterity. What they left us may soon be lost.

Today our nation faces a comparable crisis. After decades of suffering wanton violations against the Rights of the People and the Rule of Law set forth by the Constitution, our Republic now finds itself plagued by economic and financial chaos, uncontrollable military conflicts across the planet, and growing social disparity, distress and disintegration at home.

From almost every perspective, our Government has failed us in its intended purposes and its ever-escalating violations have now put our Republic in grave danger and our Liberty at risk. Beyond this, the Government has boldly ignored the People’s numerous, and repeated Petitions for Redress of Grievances and now behaves as if it is beyond the Law and all accountability — even though it is the servant of the People!

If we are to remain Free, we must restore Constitutional Order and bring forth the Light of Liberty.


Our Republic now suffers a constitutional crisis:

-- Undeclared, unconstitutional wars we cannot win, afford, or escape.
-- Economic devastation resulting from an unconstitutional, debt-based, fiat paper dollar and the privately-owned Federal Reserve banking cartel.
-- Social disintegration & legal disorder caused by unconstitutional laws, acts and failures of our servant Government.

Continental Congress 2009

Later this year, selected delegates representing the People of each of the fifty states will convene as a national assembly to debate our constitutional crisis and establish practical strategies the People can take to peacefully reclaim Liberty and restore Constitutional Order. These historical proceedings will be known as the “Continental Congress 2009.”

Taking a page from our Founders, the Delegates will convene for a period of several weeks to begin the virtuous tasks of organizing to peacefully resist those that would seek to deny us our Liberty and to impose, once again, the yoke of Law upon our servant federal government.

It's time to come together, work together and become -- together, our next Continental Congress.

We The People Foundation for Constitutional Education:

The We the People Foundation is a non-profit research and educational foundation. Our purpose is to promote a deeper understanding of the history and nature of America’s unique constitutional system of government and the power it affords our citizens to hold government accountable. The Foundation’s programs facilitate effective civic action directed at compelling government officials to obey our federal and state constitutions and defend individual Rights as guaranteed by the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

We The People Congress:

The We the People Congress is a non-profit, membership-based assembly of patriotic Americans dedicated to “institutionalizing” citizen vigilance and governmental accountability. The Congress mission is threefold: To institutionalize local education regarding the history, meaning, effect of every provision of our Founding documents; to institutionalize citizen vigilance by the People to monitor governments’ compliance with the state & federal Constitutions; and to institutionalize resistance by the People against the unconstitutional acts of government.
