If there was a way to preserve our nation from those who seek to cripple her with debt, would you stand up and take your place among We the American People?
That’s the rally cry of Loren J. Enns, whose new book, “The Sword of Liberty,” proposes a National Initiative Process that he believes could be used to stop our government from bankrupting America. Enns says this process is a way “with which the American people can attempt to seize destiny from the hands of our government and return representative democracy to the people while getting the money and privilege out of politics.”
We the American People and our Republic are suffering because of domination by the rich few and moneyed interests. Laws are made based on special interests, while public welfare is often set aside. Money not only talks, it rules. Corruption and collusion are running rampant, and the government and politicians, both left and right, are failing us. Without reform, there can be no real control of these moneyed interests; but until politicians stand up and are responsible to the people only, there will be no reform.
“Over the last 50 years, the honest majority in Congress has vanished, destroying our foundation of trust,” says Enns. A corrupted Congress will not reform itself. Enns believes it is up to us to empower ourselves and take back our destiny, along with America’s destiny as well.
With the election approaching, many argue that a change in political parties will move us toward solving these problems. Enns disagrees, however, stating that “In 2009-10, when the Democrats had the Presidency and Congress, they borrowed well over a trillion dollars each year. When the Republicans took back the House in 2011, they promised to cut deficit spending. In 2011-12, they joined with the Democrats in borrowing well over a trillion dollars each year—directly violating their pledge. As such, both parties have proven themselves debt-addicts, unworthy of our trust.”
If we cannot trust those working within the system to fix it, is there another way? Did the Founding Fathers leave us an emergency Constitutional mechanism that could be used to both bypass the federal government and amend the Constitution if necessary?
Enns believes the Founding Fathers did leave us such a mechanism—Article V Convention, which could be used to establish a National Initiative Process and a National Recall Process. The National Initiative Process would allow us to vote directly on federal legislation, while the National Recall Process would allow us to fire and replace the President and members of Congress if necessary. Enns believes that “with these powers in hand, we could stop our politicians from bankrupting America.” He also believes that “with this power in hand, our representatives might just start representing us again.”
Article V Convention may be the “most powerful weapon in the Constitution” according to Enns, and “the means by which we save America.” While Article V Convention “…does not and cannot rewrite the Constitution, it does return us to the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law, reviving both in the face of current institutionalized corruption.”
Enns firmly believes the primary goal of the American people must be “to stop our politicians from bankrupting the United States of America.” He believes this is America’s “last chance,” and that We the American People “simply can’t trust our politicians to fix a problem they knowingly created. The consequences would be devastating.”
America is calling. Will we join one another in common cause and work together in the spirit with which this country was created, or will we shrink from the moment? Will we choose a better life for ourselves and future generations, seeking truth and its implementation? Enns believes it’s time We the American People join in common bond and mission in helping to preserve the values and principles embodied in our founding documents—The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution—upon which this nation was created.
“If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” – Abraham Lincoln
