We The People

To the citizens of the United States,

We The People

America needs a constitution lesson. The first sentence of our Constitution is 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 blessing of liberty to ourselves and our prosperity, do ordain and establish this constitution of the United States of America.


We the people do ordain and establish this constitution of the United States of America. It all begins with the people.

America, our constitution is being abused ignored, and disrespected. And it is up to every American whether Democrat or Republican; Black or White; Rich or Poor; Educated or Illiterate; Young and Old to say no more. We the people need to take back our government.

We the people want to form a more perfect union by working together to ensure every voice is heard.

We the people want to establish justice so that no one can be held without due process.

We the people want to insure domestic tranquility by not using our Constitution to discriminate against our fellow citizens.

We the people want to provide for the common defense and provide those who protect us with what protects them.

We the people want to promote the general welfare by helping those who cannot help themselves.

We the people want to secure the blessing of liberty to ourselves and our prosperity by being free to be ourselves and have our beliefs respected.

Our government was founded by bold men with even bolder ideals. Those ideals became the frame work in which one of the world's greatest nations has grown. We as a democracy must respect others if they choose diffferently and not force our opinions or values on the world. We the people must recognize we are part of a greater community and work together for the betterment of all mankind. We must protect our earth. We the people need a press that is unbiased. We must express ideas, thoughts and not let our fears or the fears others would impose upon us dictate our beliefs or our actions.

We the people are at a critical junction in our history. Our core beliefs are being threatened by those sworn to up hold our laws. Our branches of government are being blurred together into a partisan mass that was never intended by our founding fathers. The security of our nation is being compromised by those responsible for protecting it. Our Supreme Court practices partisans politics. Corporations control our media , our politicians, and our livelihoods with ever lessening accountability. Our government publishes partisans viewpoints. Our executive branch advocates that the people watch networks that push their agenda. Our government censors information at an incredible rate. One of our country's worse days is used as political fodder.

We the people need a revolution. We need to stand together and say no more. We the people will decide how clean our air and water should be. We will decide how and what to teach our children. We will decide who our predident will be. We will decide how we live and love and reproduce. That is our responsibility. We as a nation are more polarized than any other time except for the Civil War. When this pivotal moment has passes how will history see us. Will we be an America that stood up for our rights or will we lay down and contribute to our ruin. People it is up to us. We have shown courage in the face of devestation and togetherness in the face of fear. We support each and watch out for each other. So I am asking all Americans to stand up for We the People... We the people are the power. We the people are the government. We the people bear the responsibility to watch and monitor it. We need to be heard but for that to happen first we must speak. All of Us. How can a government represent its people if all of its people do not speak to that government. Speak to your mayor, your alderman or councilman, your state representatives, your governors, your congress and your President about what you like, what you don't and what you need. It is more than a right it is our duty because We the People are the United States of America.

What are you willing to do for We the People?
