We gathered on April 15th in over 300 different cities, our voices united in one purpose; to stop the unconstitutional bailouts, to stop the stimulus spending, to audit the Federal Reserve and return to the Constitution.
And yet… Congress is still spending like drunken sailors, still considering a bill to nationalize our health care system, still considering Cap and Tax and even proposing to expand the powers of the private Federal Reserve.
Our calls to answer abuses of constitutional authority went unheeded. It is now time to formalize the process and petition for a redress of grievances, laying out a course of action against the unconstitutional actions by our government.
It is time for the Continental Congress 2009, organized by the We The People Foundation.
Since its inception, WTP has stood for Constitutional Obedience without exception, striving to hold our elected officials accountable to the finest governing documents ever given to mankind. Anything less than full compliance with our Constitution and Bill of Rights is unacceptable.
After years of rationally and intelligently Petitioning the Government for Redress of violations of numerous provisions of the Constitution with no reasonable response, and especially now as violations to the Constitution escalate with devastating effects on our country and citizens, we have turned our focus to Continental Congress 2009 knowing that this is the appropriate next step for a FREE People to take.
Since last December, we have been diligently working to convene a Continental Congress for America from November 9th through the 24th, to conclude on the eve of our Thanksgiving holiday. (1) ‘A Most Urgent Appeal Regarding CC2009′, July 14th, 2008.
In short, the Continental Congress is meeting to analyze the facts of our petitions, choose a course of action and then present our demands to the government. The intent and motivation behind this is to bring our nation back into full and absolute compliance with the Constitution and Declaration of Independence.
If this interests you, or if you just want to network with fellow lovers of freedom, liberty and the Constitution, then head on down to the Caldwell Library at 1010 Dearborn St. We will be starting about 10:30 am, running ~2.5-3 hours.

Mind you, this is a serious effort to restore the Republic and return to the Constitution.
I love my country and I love the Constitution, it hangs on my wall along with the Declaration of Independence. But ask yourself this: do you really see America coming out of these bailouts, stimulus spending, expansion of the Federal Reserve and nationalization of our health care, auto and banking industries the same as we went in?
If you don’t believe that America will be recognizable by the time this ‘Hope and Change’ gets fully implemented, this may just be the cause you are looking for.
