An Open Letter
An Open Letter to My Fellow Americans:
It seems that every two years the politicians from both the Republican and Democrat parties declare that the upcoming election will be a defining moment for America. Yet, until now, I have never believed that. However, the elections that will take place in November 2010 will decide whether the United States of America will survive as a democratic republican form of government where the rights of individuals are paramount, or become a socialist form of government where the rights of the people are abolished in favor of an all powerful government where individuals are now subjects of an elitist group.
Our forefathers had all experienced this type of elitist form of government in Europe and they specifically rejected it in 1776 when they adopted the Declaration of Independence and in 1787 when they wrote the U.S. Constitution. This lead us to create a country that for over 200 years has been the most prosperous nation on the planet and served as a shining example of liberty to the rest of the world. Yet, now it is in the process of being destroyed by so-called progressives who believe that most Americans are too stupid to control their own destiny and must be led by those who are more enlightened.
So, who am I that rejects this concept? That’s simple, I am an American. Note that I am not a hyphenated American. I am not an Irish - American, an African - American, or a Mexican - American. I am just an American. My family arrived in this country in 1756 and we have fought in every war since the American Revolution. My father landed on Utah Beach during the invasion of Normandy, I am a former officer in the U.S. Army, and I have four sons, two of them are veterans and two others are currently on active duty with the Army.
Yet, while they and their fellow soldiers, sailors, marines, and air force personnel risk their lives to defend the Constitution of the United States from terrorists who would destroy our nation, they have to deal with the fact that our Constitution and our freedoms are being taken away by the very people who have ordered them to fight.
We are led by a President of the United States who has never served in the military and openly shows his disdain for the limitations placed on him by the Constitution. He is backed up by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the leaders in Congress who continue to ram through legislation that is clearly unconstitutional and limits our rights as free Americans despite the fact that most of what they are doing is opposed by the majority of us.
I track every piece of legislation being introduced into Congress and what I see is appalling. All ten of the first amendments to the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, are under attack, if not by Congress than by left wing Federal judges and the so-called Czars illegally appointed by Obama in violation of the Constitution.
However, when we raise our voices as a free people against what is happening we are attacked as bigots or racists even though none of our concerns have anything to do with race, religion, or ethnicity. These attacks are echoed by the so-called mainstream news media who no longer provide news coverage, but have instead become propaganda organs for the Obama administration. In fact, a group of these left wing news members have actually been exchanging emails about ways to get the government to shut down news organizations such as Fox News that report what is really happening.
Everyone needs to understand what is occurring here. If this November we do not elect enough people who support our Constitution to the House of Representatives and Senate the fight may be lost. The elections in 2012 may occur too late to save our Republic. The bottom line is this: we must turn out the votes in November to save our freedom. If we don’t then our free market economy will be destroyed and our liberties as a free people under our Constitution will be destroyed. Contact your friends, neighbors, and family members and let them know what is at stake this November. We owe this to our children and grandchildren.
God Bless you all and God Bless the United States.

Absolutely superb article! God Bless YOU for your informative blog. I respect your factual and truthful opinion and agree with you 100%.
It takes intestinal fortitude to express one's opinions in writing that challenge our deceiving President. Thank you for having the courage to do so, especially with your expertise in the Constitution.
Thank you Mr. Connelly for your insight and courage to keep up the good fight.
Just remember: Since God is with us, who can come against us?
We all need to get involved. Pick a good constitutional candidate and campaign for him/her. Pass out leaflets and put up yard signs.
If you don't vote absentee, fill out the paper work and vote absentee because those votes get counted first. Write to your senators and congressman/woman and tell them what you expect out of them and if they don't do what is right they will be fired too.
Well said, sir! Thank you so much for your informative and powerful blog articles. I don't remember how I found it, but I'm glad I did. It is so helpful to be informed by someone who is a scholar in the law and who can decipher everything that's going on here and share it in a clear and profound way. I always pass on your good words and will continue to do so.
You are correct. The only additional concern I have is the integrity of the coming election. Voter fraud is already rampant in this country, in many areas with anywhere from 15 to 30 percent of the vote in any election being fraudulent through voter intimidation, the busing of homeless people and others to multiple precincts, absentee voter fraud, and so on. We need to monitor the elections closely, especially In areas where there is a strong union influence. Computer based voting machines are another serious concern. Who was it that said "it's not who votes that is important, it is who counts the votes."
Well said, thanks again Michael
in your open comment you said, " Yet, while they and their fellow soldiers, sailors, marines, and air force personnel risk their lives to defend the Constitution of the United States from terrorists who would destroy our nation, they have to deal with the fact that our Constitution and our freedoms are being taken away by the very people who have ordered them to fight. "...
...the very military personnel that you claim are defending the Constitution have, in fact, voluntarily taken an oath, to wit:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same;
and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God.
Note the words "... and DOMESTIC..."
with but a few exceptions these same 'defenders' of the Constitution are taking orders from presidents who do not have the Constitutional authority to declare war - only congress may do so per Art. 1, Sec.8, Cl. 11.
if past or current presidents were to give them the order to go door to door and collect all weapons owned by american civilians and shoot those who resisted, the vast majority of them would do so.
those people who you claim and support as defenders of the Constitution are in fact helping to destroy it. sad!
What is sad Dann is that you obviously have not served in the uniform of our country and you have no idea what that oath means. The word "domestic" has always been interpreted to mean any efforts by people in our own country to destroy our constitution. That includes members of our own government. We in the military take the oath seriously as one to our Constituion, not any President or any orther individuals.
It is a shame that you don't understand the concept of "duty, honor,and country," but instead chose to be a backbiter, attacking the credibility of those who do.
It’s very rare that you find the relevant information on the net but your article did provide me the relevant information. I am going to save your URL and will definitely visit the site again.
