We did it to ourselves, by squandering one another’s trust.

 After two centuries of blessedness, America has entered the hour of the power of darkness: 

§                     Our military is being emasculated as we speak, with funding cuts to deprive it of men and machines, and legal entanglements to ensure that no soldier in the field can ever be certain that he won’t be tried for murder by civilians, or worse, by foreigners.

§                     Our alliances are faltering as no one ever expected, as our chief executive kowtows to the worst men in the world and fails to uphold America’s actions in its own interest.

§                     Our politicians are interested solely in getting elected and staying in office, and will do anything, sacrifice anyone, and betray any principle of right, to achieve those goals.

§                     Our economy is being bled to death by layer after layer of taxation, regulation, legal mandates, and outright nationalizations, nearly all intended to benefit some provincial interest some gaggle of politicians counts on for support.

God Save the American Republic

The American people who believe in the U.S. Constitution and America’s representative form of government are no longer represented in any of the three branches of the U.S. Government. We can never again afford to vote for candidates for the Presidency, the House or the Senate who hold the Constitution, and the people, in contempt, candidates that when elected put judges on the bench who violate the will of the people and overstep their constitutional judicial boundaries. If we the people continue to vote for such candidates, the American Republic will be lost – it’s now hanging by a thin thread - and we the people will have no one to blame but ourselves. Our children and grandchildren will curse us for our cowardice and flagrant disregard for our own freedom and for the loss of theirs.

The American Republic belongs to the American people. If we don’t defend her, no one will. It’s our job to defend her – our role in her creation and her continuation. Our founders intended it to be the sole responsibility of the American people to guard our liberties from all enemies, tyrants and interlopers, including our own government. But in order to be equipped to defend the Republic, the people must first educate themselves on the U.S. Constitution and what it means to be a representative form of government as we were founded - not a democracy. America’s government-run public schools do not teach the truth about America’s founding, or her founders. Our schools no longer teach our children about the rights AND POWERS conferred on the people by our founders in the Constitution. The schools have intentionally dumbed down the American people’s civic education. Why? An ignorant populace is easily fooled and manipulated. An ignorant electorate is easily and blindly ruled, not governed. And this is exactly where America stands today.

The American people are no longer governed or represented; we are now ruled by elitists who pass laws intended to control every aspect of our lives, while exempting themselves and their cronies. Both political parties have been corrupted by liars and charlatans, false patriots possessing no allegiance to the U.S. Constitution. They spout just enough constitutional-sounding verbiage during their campaigns to get elected. They pay lip-service to that grand old document about which most Americans know nothing, which is why our elected officials get away with their deceptions. Well, America, our time is up. Now is the time for the people to defend the Republic, or surrender. Our field of battle is the ballot box. (This, by the way, is why the Democrat Party is working overtime to ensure that box is unguarded and open to fraud on a massive scale). However, our current field of candidates and the state of the two parties is not good and does not bode well for the survival of the Republic.

The Democrat Party has been lost to socialism/communism for too long; it is now beyond recovery. The Republican Party is almost lost but still shows some sign of life, though faint. Resuscitation might be possible but the odds are against it because there are so few patriots within the GOP. Most Republicans holding national office are blind sheep following cunning shepherds to the slaughter. For the most part, the GOP has become a party of panderers and profiteers, much as the Democrat Party.  Unless brave, articulate, passionate, freedom-loving patriots join the party and begin to fight, the Republican Party will die the same death as the Democrat Party – and soon.

As she stands today, the Republican Party is even more dangerous to the survival of the American Republic than the Democrat Party for one main reason. They are pretenders, false defenders of liberty who intentionally leave the walls of the Republic unguarded. They pretend to love the U.S. Constitution and fight for her, but they lie. They pretend to love freedom and defend the American people from big government encroachment, but they lie. They pretend to hate socialism/communism, but they lie. They pretend to fight for we the people, but they lie. Therefore, they leave the people defenseless with no one fighting to preserve our rights and the Constitution. Sheep recognize a wolf and will run for safety. But the Republican Party has become the proverbial wolf in sheep’s clothing whose intent is to fool the sheep so they can be devoured without ever putting up a fight.

Well, this is one former sheep (politically speaking) that has decided to put up a fight. I will never again hold my nose and vote for a stealthy, Constitution hating, snake-oil peddler disguised as a conservative Republican. I’m on the hunt for real conservatives, real Republicans, real American patriots, statesmen and women on par with our founders. We need brave, bold, totally politically incorrect people to run for office and we need them now. Their goal must be to save the American Republic, not build a political career and amass a personal fortune from taxpayer dimes. The survival of the Republic is on the line and nothing less will do. We need fighters at all levels of government to defend America and put her back on the path to a Constitutional Republic, or she is finished. We need candidates who will tell the American people the truth about our dire financial condition and what needs to be done to fix it. We need candidates who will advocate for the abolition of entire agencies of the Federal Government that are unconstitutional. We need candidates who will demand an end to government programs designed to create slaves of the American people and make us dependents of the government, programs that encroach on our freedoms, rob us blind and contribute to our economic doom. This will take courage. It will also take an ability to directly confront not only politicians who oppose them, but the socialists that comprise the vast majority of America’s main stream media. These deceivers of the American public need to be challenged and exposed, not feared or shunned. Any future candidates I support and for whom I cast my vote will be of this quality and character. I will support no other. I, for one, will get behind an effort to establish a 3rd party if the Republican Party does not field such candidates as described herein, and return to its conservative, constitutional roots.

Tea Party Command Center:

Washington Times: 'Path is Clear' for America to Transition to Socialism

I don't know about you, but just reading the title to this article sent a chill up my spine and made my hair stand up on the back of my neck!

The article begins by saying:

President Obama has succeeded in transforming America. The constitutional republic is dead. A socialist empire has been born. This is the true meaning — and historical significance — of Tuesday’s election.

From the outset of his presidency, Mr. Obama vowed to be a “transformative” leader. His re-election shows that he has achieved his primary goal: erecting a European social democracy.

TRANSITION? Well, let's not give Obama ALL of the credit.

Transition No. 1 - Bibles and Prayer were taken out of schools.

Transition No. 2 - Ten Commandments were removed from schools and other public buildings.

Transition No. 3 - Abortion on Demand became legal and no massive outrage was presented.

Transition No. 4 - Our public "fool" systems were infiltrated with socialist educators so that generation after generation have been brainwashed into believing that our republic and system of capitalism are bad and that free handouts are from a "good" and "loving" government.

Transition No. 5 - Pastors were persecuted for speaking out against politicians, abortion and same sex marriage and therefore many, if not most, have refused to speak the truth and teach the laws of Yahweh to their flock, thereby becoming false shepherds.

Folks, this did not happen overnight. It has been a long, slow process ... or "progressive", as the liberals like to refer to their scheme to reshape America.

It is no wonder that we are hearing of secession movements rising up across the entire lands of America. Be careful of these secession movements as this could all be playing right into Obama's hands to create more civil unrest and possibly lead to civil war across the entire country.

This civil war will lead to the ultimate destruction of the America we all knew and loved.

The question we all must ask now is: What are we going to do about it? Are we going to continue to remain silent and sit comfortably in our homes, in front of our computers griping and complaining ... but to what avail? What can the average person REALLY do to try and help restore America?

But I wonder ... is it too late? Has it gone too far? Can we at this point stop the momentum that is building?

LORD, please help us. Send forth the leaders who will once again turn this country back to you as our source ... not government. LORD, we look to you for your Divine Guidance for the days that loom ahead for America and for our countrymen. It is only with your help that we will survive as Americans and as America. Forgive us Father for the many, many sins we have committed individually and as a nation. We humble ourselves before you and beg your forgiveness.

In Yeshua's Holy Name.

AMEN.

JOIN CCTA IN PRAYING FOR OUR COUNTRY!

If you believe that the power of prayer is greater than any force on earth—and that the current crop of political candidates is unlikely to put our nation’s house in order in time to avoid a major economic disaster—then join with CCTA and other concerned Americans who pray daily, for divine intervention, at one of the following times: 6, 7, or 8 am OR 6, 7, or 8 pm.



Dear Lord,

You blessed America with more freedom than any other nation in the world; and we allowed these freedoms to be restricted in the name of fairness, equality, social justice, government safety nets, and homeland security.


You blessed America with a continent far removed from the disputes and wars of nations; and we have become hated for flaunting our military might , as policeman to the world.

You blessed America with an abundance of natural resources; and we locked them away, in the name of environmentalism, global warming and the false earth-god Gaia.

I slept, when I should have objected more actively. I ignored grievous violations to our constitution by claiming it was beyond my power to change. I allowed my government to compromise away your gift of natural law, until it became meaningless. And, worst of all, even when our courts and our legislatures banished your name and Holy Book from our institutions, or schools and even our everyday lives, I did not rise up in protest—I helped re-elect them; because, as bad as they were, they just had to better than the other party’s political whores.

All of these failures I acknowledge with a humble heart. And though you have punished us for our lack of diligence, the majority of our elected leaders remain unwilling to address the beast that is devouring our constitution, our laws, our national honor and our most sacred beliefs.

Our Republic now stands at a crossroad; on the brink of a spiritual, ideological, fiscal and economic disaster. I offer no excuse for how we got here. But I fear the magnitude of damage we have done to our constitution, you so carefully guided our Founding Fathers to create, cannot be corrected, by the current crop of candidates—and certainly not in time to escape the multiplicity of imminent disaster that confront our nation today.

I therefore urgently pray that, through divine intervention, you send us a leader in the mold of our Founding Fathers—a man or woman with the charisma, knowledge, wisdom and ability to restore the original intent of our constitution and one who also recognizes the vital importance of your Holy Presence in the affairs of our nation as in our lives.

In Jesus’ name I ask this,
Amen

David Barton—WallBuilders: Happy Birthday America!

America is celebrating her 236th birthday! Our unprecedented freedom was the result of specific ideas, many of which were drawn directly from the Bible. In fact, at the 150th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence, President Calvin Coolidge affirmed:

"No one can examine this record and escape the conclusion that in the great outline of its principles the Declaration was the result of the religious teachings of the preceding period… They are found in the texts, the sermons, and the writings of the early colonial clergy who were earnestly undertaking to instruct their congregations in the great mystery of how to live…Placing every man on a plane where he acknowledged no superiors, where no one possessed any right to rule over him, he must inevitably choose his own rulers through a system of self-government."

On the 200th anniversary, President Gerald Ford also affirmed its Biblical roots:

"Our Bicentennial is the happy birthday of all fifty States, a commonwealth, and self-governing territories. It is not just a celebration for the original Thirteen Colonies…The earliest English settlers carried the Bible and Blackstone’s Commentary…[and] American families in prairie schooners like these took with them on the overland trails the principles of equality and the God-given rights of the Declaration of Independence. As we celebrate our 236th birthday, let’s make sure we preserve our memory of these unique governing principles."

Here are three simple things you and your family can do:

Only God and Americans can save the U.S. from Obama

To Americans everywhere:

As Wes Riddle of Texas has written, “The term Republic had a significant meaning for all early Americans. The form of government secured by the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution, and the Constitution was unique, requiring strict limitation of government power. Powers that were permitted would be precisely defined and delegated by the people, with all public officials being bound by their oath of office to uphold the Constitution.


The Constitution made it clear that the government was not to interfere with productive nonviolent human energy. This is the key element that has permitted America’s great achievements and made America the political and economic envy of the world. We have truly been blessed.”

To all who cherish our individual liberty, do not despair. Let us not give up in our effort to save our Representative Republic from the now constant attacks from president Barack Obama and his czars upon our system of Constitutional Law. We, the American people, must unite and come together now as never before in the history of this great nation. If we will stand with each other, as the American people, forgetting political party ties, we can and must save ourselves and keep this Republic from being destroyed and replaced by Barack Obama Socialism. It is our responsibility to do it. The founders of the American Republic structured the system so we could always do just that.

We, the governed, have sole consent as to whom we allow to sit in power in our Capital. Like all human beings do, per our nature, we make mistakes. A mistake was made by electing Barack Obama as president in 2008. We now must admit it to ourselves, suck it up and make a correction. Stopping Socialism is the most important issue before the American people today. The president, upon taking office, swears to defend and protect the Constitution. Barack Obama has done neither. It is a matter of public record that he has, in fact, intentionally done the exact opposite. We must be united in purpose to save our Republic from Obama and Socialism.

What is INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY? Because I was born (73 years ago) and raised in the small American town of Henryetta, Oklahoma, I have never personally experienced government oppression, as have so many billions of people throughout history all over this world. So I, like most Americans, have taken it for granted and assumed it would always be thus in this country. I began a search to answer for myself the real meaning of Individual Liberty, and also Is America an exceptional country because of it? As you recall, Barack Obama said publicly he does not believe it is. In all my wildest dreams I could have never imagined an American President thinking that, much less hearing a president of the United States make that statement.

As I began, I was reminded very quickly that freedom is not something granted to us by the government. It is not something the government allows us to have, but one of our God given unalienable rights. It is one of the sacred rights of all mankind endowed upon us by God Almighty, our Creator. If we are herded and driven like cattle, dictated to by government as though they own us and we are subjects of that government, it is because we have lost our God-given right to be free, which He bestowed upon us at birth.

I learned in my search, of all the wonderful things America is about, that Individual Freedom is our most precious and greatest treasure. Individual Liberty is the absence of government restraint on our ability to think and act for ourselves. Individual Liberty is being free from government oppression and regulation, and it automatically carries with it individual responsibility for our own decisions and actions. Freedom is the capacity for self-determination. It is not cast in stone to forever be, but it is a condition, and conditions can change. Individual Freedom can grow and expand, but it can also shrink and disappear. The spirit of Liberty has to be in the population. Individual Freedom will only be preserved as long as there is devotion to freedom expressed in the hearts and actions of the people. Our desire for Individual Liberty must be stronger than Obama’s desire to turn us into his subjects under a Socialist government of America or we will become slaves to him and that government. He will have accomplished his goal.

In 1775 Alexander Hamilton said, “The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of the divinity itself, and can never be erased.” President Bush said a few years ago, “History moves toward freedom because the desire for freedom is written in every human heart.”

In his address at the Gettysburg National Cemetery, president Lincoln declared, “It is for us the living to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus so nobly advanced.” That unfinished work for which so many American soldiers willingly go to the battles of war, and which so many have given the full measure of devotion, is the cause of The United States of America as an exceptional country of INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY. I here declare to you, that work will never be finished. It is up to each generation to continue the work and keep the American spirit of Individual Freedom alive in every heart.

Barack Obama campaigned on “fundamental change in America.” Had he given us the details of what he meant by that, I seriously doubt he would have been elected. Americans were not looking to change Individual Liberty for subjugation to an expanding Federal Socialist government with more and more regulation of almost every aspect of our lives. We have become a strong and exceptional nation through the self reliance of Individual Freedom, and the preservation of that liberty through the spilling of the blood of our fellow patriots. The more power we allow Barack Obama and the Federal Government to amass the less Individual Freedom we will have. Freedom is a birthright from God. If we become government slaves it is because we allowed it to be taken from us.

Our great nation was given birth, out of the womb of a bloody revolution for liberty, as a Representative Republic of Free Individuals, not one of Socialism and collective slaves of government. Americans everywhere, we had better get involved and take a stand against government control of our lives. Now is not the time to be silent as Barrack Obama attempts to dismantle this great country and bring it down to a lower level of the Socialist countries of Europe. Now is the time for us to be resolved to protect and defend our Individual Freedom. We hear it said Obama is not a leader, that he is incompetent. It is very true that he is not a leader for a Representative Republic of Free Individuals, for he does not believe in the system of government which our Founders established. But he is an exceptional leader in the effort to turn America into a Socialist nation.

To everyone who will listen and hear, never believe for a moment that Barack Obama is incompetent. I submit to you, he knows exactly what he is doing and why he is doing it. He spent most of his early years studying and learning how to do it under the teachings of the Socialist Revolutionary Saul Alinsky; his Chicago neighbor Bill Ayers, and others. These men now have one of their own positioned in the White House. As Barack Obama summarized at the height of his campaign: “We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” He does not believe we are an exceptional nation. Be not deceived, Barack Obama sees America very differently than our Founding Fathers and how you and I see America.

I earnestly pray that Barack Obama is defeated in his bid for a second term as president. Given the manner in which he is now shredding the Constitution, if given four more years to act, knowing he doesn’t have to answer to us for his actions, the damage he can and will do in tearing down and destroying this country as a Representative Republic, is at present unimaginable.

Please feel free to pass this to whom ever you wish. You may leave my information below intact. I am not afraid.

God Bless America, Please.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: A Vote of Conscience, by CCTA Member, Lou Call

March 21, 2012
Beaufort Observer

As we approach from a distance November 2012, we approach the cross roads of America's future. No longer are we dealing with Democrat vs Republican but a far more sinister threat awaits us on the other side of the elections.

We will have to decide what principles we want to guide us over the next four years. Do we want the foundation of our Nation to rest on our Constitution, the document that has sustained us for 236 years and for which so many have given their lives to defend and uphold or do we wish to follow the course that the current administration wants to impose on us.

It is clear to most of us that our current president is pursuing the ideologies of Socialism (Obamacare) and Marxism (redistribution of wealth). The president rang in the New Year by signing into law the

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with its provision allowing him to indefinitely detain citizens. With Americans distracted with celebrating, Obama signed one of the greatest rollbacks of civil liberties in the history of our country … and citizens partied in unwitting bliss into the New Year.

Directly on the heels of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) comes the coup de grace in the form of a new bill called the "Enemy Expatriation Act." Space does not permit to go into full details but if the reader will Google both bills it will open your eyes to a dictatorial leader standing in the wings.

A word about the 'proposed' but yet to be passed Enemy Expatriation Act. If the Enemy Expatriation Act passes in its current form, the legislation will let the government strike away citizenship for anyone engaged in hostilities, or supporting hostilities, against the United States.

The law itself is rather brief, but in just a few words it warrants the US government to strip nationality status from anyone they identify as a threat. Carried to the extreme, do citizens or organizations that oppose and protest against the Obama regime fall into this category? I wonder how many of you are even aware of the existence of NDAA or have heard of the impending Enemy Expatriation Act?

After reading this article, some progressive liberal will write to the editor proclaiming that my article is of 'the sky is falling' mentality.

But ask yourself this; why do we have a need for such bills in an open and free society and why is the ACLU, guardians of our freedoms, silent?

Clearly, another four years of Obama will be another four years of a repressive government. Every year that Obama sits on the throne, a small bite of our liberties disappear in the quagmire of government regulations. The time has come to put aside party politics and look to your conscience to guide you. The future of a free America hangs in the balance and at risk is the future of our children and grandchildren; we owe it to them to stop this tyrannical government.

God Bless America!

Letter to the Editor: America as a Sovereign Nation? by CCTA Member, Lou Call

March 12, 2012

Letter to the Editor

America as a sovereign Nation?

Since the election of Barack Obama I have maintained that he has no regard for our Constitution or our position in world events as a sovereign Nation.

Recently our Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, when speaking before the Senate Armed Services Committee made the following declaration.

He said that the President should not consult the Congress but look to the globalist power of NATO and the United Nations for direction when deciding to openly engage in foreign war.

When asked by Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama about what legal authority the Administration of Barack Obama has to intervene in Syria as it did it Libya, the Secretary responded. He made clear that the Administration answers not to the American people, the Congress or the Constitution, but to NATO and the U.N.

Panetta stunned Senator Sessions by saying “that the U.S. would seek a legal basis and international permission for military action in Syria” (especially if the action was the work of a coalition). The Obama administration would commit our sons and daughters to a hostile act without the approval of Congress; a clear violation of the War Powers Act.


We have a dictator who sits in the Oval Office; he has used our Constitution for a door mat since he has taken office. He has surrounded himself with socialist/Marxists in cabinet posts, answerable only to him. For our Republic to survive Obama must be removed from office. The future of our grandchildren is at stake and for this there is no compromise.

Restoring the Constitutional Republic 11.11.11 rally

Restoring the Constitutional Republic Rally in DC
by Judi McLeod

Washington,DC- Cold bitter winds blowing through Washington, DC today didn’t stop patriots from coming from as far away as Hawaii, Kentucky, South Carolina and Michigan to the Washington Monument to take stand for the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence at the Restoring the Constitutional Republic 11.11.11 rally.


US Patriots Union founder, columnist JB Williams and Veterans Defenders of America leader Col. Harry Riley, who organized the rally knew in the planning stage that no matter how many the rally gathered, the snub of the mainstream media would be the same.


Along with JB, CFP columnists Navy SEAL Jim O’Neill and Dr. Ileana Johnson were there.

CFP editor Judi McLeod felt honoured to be asked by JB and Riley to address the gathering.

“Few eras in American and world history are more critical than the one we are all living right now.


“For this is the dark chapter when an undocumented ‘president’ works round-the-clock to deliver to global elitist power brokers his promised Fundamental Transformation of America.

“But as I stand right here with you at the cherished Washington Monument and see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears, your passion and unbridled patriotism, I take heart.

“For the presence of every single one of you here today tells not only me—but freedom and liberty lovers everywhere that American patriots will NEVER let the Obama-vowed Fundamental Transformation of America go down in history!!

The motto of my newspaper Canada Free Press states outright on its banner; ‘BECAUSE WITHOUT AMERICA THERE IS NO FREE WORLD” That’s the motto that should be on the New York Times the Washington Post and on all American newspapers who are in business only because of their readers and advertisers!

“BECAUSE WITHOUT AMERICA THERE IS NO FREE WORLD” should be the one chant shouted from every rooftop because it is the one chant that is the truth!

“The sun came up on a beautiful day at the Monument and CFP’s Brian Thompson, sussing out the site for Occupy Wall Street activists, said that the sun rising over the Washington Monument was an image that would live in his heart forever. And, like every other day just before sunrise, the Creator’s Orchestra of trilling, chirping birds warned of the dawn of another God’s day.

“The Occupy Wall Street crowd, incidentally, were still asleep in their tents or at home sleeping….They work in shifts and only appear mid-mornings.

“The sun, at least figuratively speaking, would not rise in Athens, Paris or Rome without America. America, no matter how politicians portray it, is the leader of the STILL-FREE West. America earned that place as world defender of democracy and it was paid for in the sacrifice of human life in wars whose ultimate goal was to keep the Free World Free.

“There would be no rising sun for many average little people raising families in far-flung corners of the world without America, whose ingenuity, courage and outstanding generosity have kept freedom alive in the West and abroad.

“All of us here know it has been a long three years, with an almost every Friday night shock thrown at the American people from politicians using the evil Marxist Saul Alinsky ‘Demoralize-the-Masses’ Rule Book.

“We all know that we are on the Last Mile and that the Last Mile—marked between right now and the November 6, 2012 Election will be the longest last mile of our lives.

“Think about it. Next Veterans Day, exactly one year from today will be AFTER the 2012 presidential election.

“Yesterday while driving through beautiful Pennsylvania to get here, I couldn’t get over the houses tucked in the deep valleys and up the majestic mountains, many likely there through long generations.

“Are these the ‘rich’ the Obama administration and their Occupy Wall Street friends squatting in the parks want to wipe out? Ordinary, industrious, hard-working Americans?

“That very memory of driving through Pennsylvania brings me to a specific message in my address to you today.

“For three years Barack Obama has travelled the world complaining about America and Americans. We know this to be true, but in order to win the fight against his fundamental transformation we must look into the reason why he constantly puts down an America that afforded he and his wife a life of privilege, including his election to the Oval Office.

“Obama needs to destroy American exceptionalism and to destroy forever the American ideal.

“The reason for that is Obama wants to hand America over to greedy and corrupt power brokers who see people as serfs—their serfs. In other words, Obama is doing nothing less than selling America out!

“No matter what happens on the Last Mile, those here today will look back to today. They will remember how the US Patriot Union and the Veteran Defenders of America told you here that today was not the end—but only the beginning of the battle ahead to Restore the Constitution and the American Declaration of Independence.

“It starts with the full confidence of knowing that Obama cannot take America—when Americans won’t give it away to him or any other politician.

“Everything is worth fighting for if there is to be any kind of legacy of freedom for our children and grandchildren.

“Obama and the power brokers whose employee he is never counted on the fire of patriotism imbued in the hearts of American patriots that has never died out since the day of the Founding Fathers…the day when men were statesmen and not career politicians. We the People never forgot it, only the politicians trying to cling to power did. But politicians like Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are no different than other politicians, who like the leaves of autumn, are here today…and mercifully gone with the wind tomorrow.

“The things that matter most to a free people who come from a glorious history as Americans do are NEVER forgotten or let go.

“So besides saying God Bless America, God bless each and every one of you, I will end this the way I left the South East Michigan 9/12 Project when I spoke to them two years ago this June.

“As I was leaving the podium, I shouted out the one slogan heard and cheered by freedom lovers all over the world: That is: “USA!” “USA!”

“When Michiganian Cathy Tyler shouted my name followed by “USA!” “USA!”

“Cathy: Are you there?”

P.S: Note to the never-say-die Patriot JB Williams: You do America proud.

PPS: During the rally, incredibly, the chopper known as Marine 1, now empty having done its part to shuttle Obama on the deck of the USS Carl Vinson for today’s Michigan State and North Carolina Basketball Game, flew over patriots at the Washington Monument.

CCTA is proud to announce the release of “Shifting Culture: Revival, Revolution or Ruin” written by our own C.A. Lee – better known as Cheryl or ‘Nana’ – she’s our patriotic spiked-haired, cancer surviving, non-politically correct, great-grandmother!

Shifting Culture will take the reader from being a passive observer to an informed ready for action citizen. They’ll connect the dots as they review how societal changes have debased our culture, our faith and our country. Readers will follow a timeline of events that have caused a demoralizing shift in our culture, along with an underlying evil, which threatens every American and this great nation. Most importantly, they will be infuriated at the abuse, corruption and treasonous acts committed by those placed in power to protect and defend the Constitution of United States of America.

Americans will reconnect with the power and beauty of our heritage and our Constitution. They will walk away armed with the knowledge and courage to demand reform and with a renewed patriotism that will spur active participation in our self-governing republic. And finally, they’ll understand the urgency for taking action before it is too late.

CCTA believes “Shifting Culture” is a book that needs to be read by every freedom loving American trying to understand how our country has been driven down a destructive path—and what we can do about it.

Shifting Culture is available through CCTA (call or email Lynn Childs at 252-402-0333, or at lynn.ccta@gmail.com) or order direct from Amazon.

‘Nana’ is available to speak at local functions or groups and is available for interviews.

MESSAGE FROM DC: We are speaking out, and we’re voting for Conservatives in November!

We are not anti-government, We are pro limited govt. We are not protesters, we are PROMOTERs of the constitution. We are not people-bashers, we are Liberty lovers. But we are not violent, just no longer silent. We’re voting for Constitutional Conservatives in November!

As Christians, God expects us to stand up for the Constitution and pray for our leaders, but sometimes it gets very tiring! We’re tired of having to "spread our wealth" to people who are too lazy to earn their own money. We’re tired of paying more taxes so people who bought McMansions, 3x their ability to pay for, could stay in them! Let the Progressives who won’t fix Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pay for them. It’s ok that Entitlement-minded losers object to our message, we believe in American Exceptionalism; We will no longer be the silent majority. We are speaking out, and we’re voting for Conservatives in November!

We’re tired of left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore and George Soros telling us how bad Capitalism is. They want the U.S. to have the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico, the tolerance for Christian people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela. We will no longer be the silent majority. We are speaking out, and we’re voting for Conservatives in November!


We’re tired of hearing that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when almost every day, we hear of car bombers, underwear bombers, shoe bombers, Timesquare bombers, or Fort Hood killers ----all appear to be people with links to Islamic terrorists. We’re tired of taxpayers funding radical Islamic schools and classes in our public schools to preach hate in America, while taxpayers are not allowed to fund classes to teach the Bible or Christian school. We will no longer be the silent majority. We are speaking out, and we’re voting for Conservatives in November!

We’re tired of being told that "race doesn't matter", when Mr. Obama says more about race than anyone else. I think it's great that we have a black president, but he needs to lead by the constitution and believe in liberty, not Marxism. He shouldn’t apologize to other nations for America’s success, or clap when other leaders condemn the United States. –And let someone else say the curse words! We will no longer be the silent majority. We are speaking out, and we’re voting for Conservatives in November!

We’re tired of the news media slamming Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck for pointing out abuse of the constitution. We’re really tired of the government not paying its debts, especially since it is now $13 trillion. We’re also tired of the govt. capitalizing on crises so it can take over everything – Healthcare, auto-makers, oil drilling,--- Wall Street—you name it!! We will no longer be the silent majority. We are speaking out, and we’re voting for Conservatives in November!

Ronald Reagan said in his famous speech, "A Time for Choosing" that We have a "rendezvous with destiny"!! (full speech here) Americans must understand that 2 paths lie before us: conservatism or SOCIALISM. Constitutional Conservatives from ALL parties MUST UNITE TO PROTECT the constitution of OUR Great NATION! Yes, we’re tired, but not too tired to vote for Constitutional Conservatives in November!.

My personal message is similar to Patrick Henry’s: “Why stand you here idle?... Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"

Thank you and God bless you!! See you at the polls in November!!

Shifting Culture "Revival, Revolution or Ruin"

Authored by C. A. Lee

About the author:  C.A. Lee is an activist, political speaker and is ferociously patriotic. A spiked-haired, great-grandmother who refuses to remain silent. When asked, "Who are you to write this book?" Lee's reply, "I am the voice of concerned citizens verbalizing what they think, but who fearfully refuse to articulate. Three of my ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence. Their sacrifice and courage gives me the courage to speak out."



Shifting Culture: Revival, Revolution or Ruin is a prime example of citizen activism that reaches out to Tea Party activists, Independents, Democrats and Republicans alike. The majority of Americans, appalled at the downward shift in the American culture and distressed with their government, want to prevent the country they love from slipping into the abyss. Shifting Culture outlines why we should be terrified, who is at fault and how to reverse the damage.

Is the United States of America in need of a revival, awaiting a revolution or on the precipice of ruin? Shifting Culture clearly illustrates how we have been controlled, manipulated and purposefully divided. Readers will finally understand why societal changes have debased our culture, our faith and our country. Citizens will be infuriated at the abuse, corruption and treasonous acts of those placed in power to protect and defend the Constitution and then realize the urgent need to take action.

Shifting Culture offers the reader the power and beauty of our heritage and our Constitution and releases the stranglehold of misinformation, innuendo and blatant lies that shackle political decisions. Lee lays out five critical facets required for the revival and restoration of American culture to combat the evil that is real and persuasive in the United States. Interwoven throughout Shifting Culture are disturbing trails of power and greed, constitutional treachery, deceit and treasonous acts.

Be forewarned. American history began with the settling of America. This current phase will end with the unsettling of Americans. What our country becomes, therefore, is in the hands of American citizens. Shifting Culture is a history reminder, a large dose of common sense, faith, tradition, civics, life-altering choices and consequences. Lee goes against the pundits who believe the Tea Party is hell bent on returning the country to the eighteenth-century and skillfully guides readers through a timeline of events that will enlighten, shock, and anger Americans. Shifting Culture is a call to the silent centered majority of Americans who will not be silenced any longer.

Reviews:

"A MUST READ for anyone who cares about the concepts on which our country was founded." -- Raynor James, Coastal Carolina Taxpayers Association

"Wow... Shifting Culture is a glimpse at America through the eyes of a true patriot. It's a look at the history of this great country and puts into words many of the feelings that other Americans have been trying to express for a long time. The question, "How did we get here and what do we do now?" will be foremost in your mind as you read about the love as well as the heartbreak that this writer feels for our country." -- Joyce Krawiec, FreedomWorks

"Author C.A. Lee loves her country and is struggling to make sense of how it has gotten so badly off-track and what is needed to get us back in line. As she says, "You do not have to be an expert car mechanic to know something is wrong with you car and you certainly don't have to be an expert on politics to know the country is in trouble." Shifting Culture is unlike other books, written by politicians, academia, political pundits, or media-controlled journalists because Lee offers the viewpoint of a "spiked-haired great-grandmother" who remembers the simpler days when Americans' lives and affairs weren't so micromanaged by the federal government. Ms. Lee might be an ordinary citizen without legal or political training or experience, but she shares the same sense of urgency for attention to our country's underlying problems and a restoration of our fundamental American values that millions of citizens share all over this country." -- Diane Rufino, Eastern NC Tea Party

AMERICAN MINUTE: Alexis de Tocqueville

 July 29   (Add this to your Constitutional Studies!)


Alexis de Tocqueville was born JULY 29, 1805.A French social scientist, he traveled the United States in 1831, and wrote a two-part work, Democracy in America (1835, 1840), which has been described as:  "the most comprehensive and penetrating analysis of the relationship between character and society in America that has ever been written."

In it, de Tocqueville wrote:   "Upon my arrival in the United States the religious aspect of the country was the first thing that struck my attention; and the longer I stayed there, the more I perceived the great political consequences resulting from this new state of things, to which I was unaccustomed.

In France I had almost always seen the spirit of religion and the spirit of freedom marching in opposite directions. But in America I found they were intimately united and that they reigned in common over the same country..."

De Tocqueville continued:  "They brought with them...a form of Christianity, which I cannot better describe, than by styling it a democratic and republican religion...From the earliest settlement of the emigrants, politics and religion contracted an alliance which has never been dissolved."

De Tocqueville wrote:  "Religion in America...must be regarded as the foremost of the political institutions of that country; for if it does not impart a taste for freedom, it facilitates the use of it...This opinion is not peculiar to a class of citizens or a party, but it belongs to the whole nation."

De Tocqueville observed:  "The sects that exist in the United States are innumerable. They all differ in respect to the worship which is due to the Creator; but they all agree in respect to the duties which are due from man to man. Each sect adores the Deity in its own peculiar manner, but all sects preach the same moral law in the name of God...


Moreover, all the sects of the United States are comprised within the great unity of Christianity, and Christian morality is everywhere the same."

De Tocqueville added:  "In the United States the sovereign authority is religious...There is no country in the whole world where the Christian religion retains a greater influence than in America...


America is still the place where the Christian religion has kept the greatest real power over men's souls; and nothing better demonstrates how useful and natural it is to man, since the country where it now has the widest sway is both the most enlightened and the freest."

De Tocqueville continued:  "In the United States the influence of religion is not confined to the manners, but it extends to the intelligence of the people...Christianity, therefore reigns without obstacle, by universal consent..."

De Tocqueville continued:  "The Americans combine the notions of Christianity and of liberty so intimately in their minds, that it is impossible to make them conceive the one without the other; and with them this conviction does not spring from that barren traditionary faith which seems to vegetate in the soul rather than to live."


In Book Two of Democracy in America, de Tocqueville wrote:  "Christianity has therefore retained a strong hold on the public mind in America...In the United States...Christianity itself is a fact so irresistibly established, that no one undertakes either to attack or to defend it."

In August of 1831, while traveling through Chester County, New York, Alexis de Tocqueville observed a court case:  "While I was in America, a witness, who happened to be called at the assizes of the county of Chester, declared that he did not believe in the existence of God or in the immortality of the soul. The judge refused to admit his evidence, on the ground that the witness had destroyed beforehand all confidence of the court in what he was about to say...


The New York Spectator of August 23d, 1831, relates the fact in the following terms:  'The court of common pleas of Chester county (New York), a few days since rejected a witness who declared his disbelief in the existence of God. The presiding judge remarked, that he had not before been aware that there was a man living who did not believe in the existence of God; that this belief constituted the sanction of all testimony in a court of justice: and that he knew of no case in a Christian country, where a witness had been permitted to testify without such belief.'"

AMERICAN THINKER: The Un-American American President

June 29, 2011
by Jay Clarke

Something is wrong with Barack Obama. We all know it. We all see it. When he speaks about America, Americans cringe. There is a strangeness to his manner, an unease when he talks about America. He appears awkward and uncomfortable. His speech seems performed and practiced yet, oddly halting. It's reminiscent of American POW's in Vietnam or Iraq reading a forced confession. His eyes, expressions, and vocal tone are disconnected from his words. The words themselves often sound American, but the delivery is clinical and detached. His attempts at patriotic sentiment ring hollow and phony. "Once again, with feeling!" is how Americans are left feeling. He just doesn't seem right. He doesn't seem like, well...one of us.


Before anyone "goes there" and makes accusations of racism, this is about a pervasive, nagging, national perception that Barack Obama does not intuitively understand or appreciate America or Americans. Not our past. Not our present or future. He just doesn't act or sound like an American. In fact, there are good reasons and ample evidence for why.

I think we all know why Obama is so brilliant and impressive.


Simply because the masses still to this day concentrate on not what he says but how he says it

His mission is to destroy America--he is brilliant in that he is accomplishing thus far all that he has been hired to do and in accordance with the time table prescribed and doing it not covertly, but quite overtly.He has managed to render Congress ineffective leaving them to do naught but fiddle to his tune while Rome burns. He has initiated actions which will eventually neuter our economy ,military and culture. Still the masses are blinded by his mesmerizing countenance. He is still the media darling and apparently will remain so for as long as Soros needs him as their darling.

Make no mistake--he knows exactly what he is doing and he is good at it. He is focused and relentless in pursuit of the goals that were set and assigned many moons ago--long before his election . He is a handler's dream.

The accomplishments you read below are simply milestones necessary to ensure the end result---the neutering of America.

Sadly it will continue virtually unabated thanks to a mesmerized nation who still swoons when he speaks. They will eventually realize what is happening, but alas not,I fear, before the hour is too late.

CATCHING PIGS


There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the Prof noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt.

The professor asked the young man what was the matter.  The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back.  He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist regime.
 In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question He asked:  "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.

"You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming.

When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence.  They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.

The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again.  You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom.  They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.

Soon they go back to eating the free corn . They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America . The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies,
dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.

One should always remember two truths:

1) There is no such thing as a free lunch, someone is paying for it
2) and when you begin to think that having your government provide for you and make your decisions is ok, realize that you’ve also given up the freedom that goes with making your own choices.

If you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America , you might want to share this with your friends.

If you think the “free ride” is essential to your way of life, then you will probably ignore this.
But God help you when the gate slams shut!

Are They Serious? ‘Shariah 4 America’ Group Calls for ‘Burkha’ on Statue of Liberty

As we’ve reported, controversial UK Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary has called on Muslims to “rise to implement the Shari’ah in America,” starting with a planned demonstration in front of the White House on Thursday.


Choudary’s “call for revolution” is being organized and advertised by Shariah4America, a group calling for the “Islamic demolition of the Statue of Liberty” and a remodeling of the White House into a “White Masjid.”

Socialist Mantra Hidden in Grade School Chants

OUTRAGEOUS!!!

The Promise Of America Is. . . Socialism? That’s exactly what is being taught in many American public schools.


Under the guise of teaching children to read, the seeds of Socialism are being planted within the minds of young children. Do you believe that the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States mandates the following?

The People’s basic needs must be met in a country. Needs for housing, education, transportation, and health care overseen by our government system.

Those are the words being chanted over and over and over by school children around the country. They are part of an educational program called Building Fluency Through Practice and Performance. This section is called ‘The Promise of America’ and it breaks down the fifty-two word single sentence that is the Preamble. Here is the original:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Disguised as a reading exercise, the Preamble has been turned into a five page choral project with commentary planted inside this very simple sentence. Here is an example. Make note of what the children (R5, R6, & R7) are being asked to read after the words ‘promote the general welfare’:
