Look What Happened
While You Were Sleeping

After the French
and Indian War (1763), the King of England disallowed an act made by the Colony
of Virginia's assembly. In a lawsuit, a
young lawyer by the name of Patrick Henry declared that the king was a tyrant
and that by the act of disallowance, the king forfeited his right to have the
colonists remain obedient to him. If the
beginning steps that led to the formation of our nation started from such
actions, which by comparison to our situation today, was much less grievous,
how much more justified would citizens be in taking similar actions in our
present situation? Patrick Henry's
statement called for disallowing the legitimacy of the king to govern over
them. What legitimacy, therefore, should
we consider our government today to have that allows the formation of laws,
which disallows natural law? Laws that take from citizens their private
property, permit abortion and accept unnatural lifestyles. Laws against natural law are laws without
legitimacy. We must ask the question, has the present system of electing and
governing betrayed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution? If it has, then are we not being led to the
same conclusion as Patrick Henry, that the ruling government over us has made
itself illegitimate? Has the present
form of government hi-jacked our legitimate Declaration and Constitutional,
Republic form of government? If we
answer yes, then how will we respond? Will
we follow the witness of our Forefathers who recognized that the king had
forfeited the right to govern and therefore, forfeited the right to have the
people remain obedient to him? Has the
present form of government, which is acting against our republic and the will
of the people it is suppose to represent, forfeited the right to govern? At what point do the words declared in the
Declaration, "It is their right, it is their duty to throw off such government
and provide new guards for their future security" play in against the present
form of government? The present form of
governing is not fulfilling the dreams our Forefathers had. We are called to fulfill those dreams. The time is ripe. The time is now.
