PATRIOTS REVOLT - feedback…

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Friends,

Patriots Revolt is growing by leaps with regard to web site visits and pledges, but it will take active reaching out to expand….telling your email friends, writing letters to editor. If you’re registered as democrat or republican, switch to Independent or some other party. Suggest www.patriotsrevolt.com be linked to other sites,anything you can do to spread our message.

Below is a few comments received on 19/20 July…I tried to spread the State participation around…there were many more but want to share what some friends from across America are feeling….

Keep the tea bags flowing to DC and State offices of politicians, an example letter to editor is below and our web site home page will give your the contacts simply by filling in your zip code…….
——————————————————————————–
Dear Editor,

Every indication reflects a growing uneasiness in America with regard to the two major political parties. It may be safe to say it goes beyond uneasiness, approaching deep anger toward politicians and parties in general.

America seems to be asking what happened to “of the people, by the people, for the people”, not of the elite, by the party, for the few?

Patriots Revolt www.patriotsrevolt.com is a recent movement that allows America to step outside the two major political parties and exercise the power of the people without being constrained by a political apparatus. It doesn’t much matter where they come from; what their religion is or not; whether they’re black, white, or some other color…male or female…Democrat, Republican or Independent. What American seems to be saying is “I am America and I no longer matter.”

We the people are being betrayed, abandoned, deceived, and used as pawns in a political system which gives us no voice. America is crying for a vehicle that “will give them” a means to be recognized. A line in the sand has been drawn by Patriots Revolt…America is invited to visit www.patriotsrevolt.com and become a part of what our Constitution intended.

Shari, CA said: Please return to decision-making based upon the constitutional principles set for the United States by our founders!

Hal, AL said: Hey, McCain!!! Ronald Reagan didn’t become “Ronaldus Magnus” by limping to the left. And you don’t need to become “Jimmy Carter” by staying left. As for you, Barack? Go home and go to bed.

James, AL said: REMEMBER WHAT THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON!!!! THATS WHY EVERYBODY WHATS TO LIVE IN AMERICA!!! NOW THAT WE LET THEM IN THEY WANT TO CHANGE WHAT BUILT IT INTO A GREAT NATION!! AMERICA USA LOVE IT FOR WHAT IT STANDS FOR OR GO BACK TO THE LIFE AND COUNTRY YOU COME FROM!!!

Lyle, VA said: As of this writing I am voting for Baldwin. I voted for Perot in ‘92. I am done with holding my nose. The GOP no longer represents a party I can support.

Billy, TX said: This Country must change the way it’s citizens are being ignored by those in office! It’s time to fire the whole lot of those currently holding office and look for new leadership!!! Those seeking office now only offer more of the same old failed policies! It’s time “We The People” are heard!

Jack, AZ said: Go for it— This WW-2 Marine agrees—- Jack

The power must go back to the states and the people. We The People For The People

Molly, MO said: I think that other alternatives should also be included: ie, wind energy, electric cars, auto industry producing more fuel efficient engines, solar power for homes…

Randall, KY said: American Patroits have great ideas to get this country where it belongs. RNC needs to wake up and get back to where they belong..

PATRIOTS REVOLT - Collision With A Political Apparatus

Friday, July 25th, 2008

Friends,

Patriots Revolt is a ray of sunshine to forgotten Americans…thousands have become aware,several hundred are encouraged and offered their comments in a one or two sentence feedback fashion. Our efforts can also be a relief to millions, if they know about it…help spread the word.

Most patriots don’t mention McCain or Obama in comments…where the passion erupts is their empirical evidence that the political system and in particular the two major parties have abandoned America. I am talking about ordinary America, the bedrock that makes America tick, the tax payers, the folks that work every day, the Moms and Dads trying to make it, trying to raise their children with hopes of a better life. The folks that fall into the “of the people, for the people, by the people” voices are the ones abandoned. If one is not part of the political apparatus, an elite in a party, part of a small circle of political operatives, then your voice is ignored. Can we even be confident our votes are recorded and counted anymore?

There have been a few that mention my personal anger as seeping through observations I make, and I respect counsel. To be sure, I am angry, livid, in rage at the political system, the two major parties, the manner in which it manipulates the lives of Americans…the self-centered, arrogant agenda driven operation, and general disregard for “we the people”.. I hold no personal anger to any politician…not to Obama, McCain, nothing pointed to individuals, but anger at their actions, what they do or fail to do.

As an example. Currently Senate Majority Leader Reid and Speaker Pelosi are refusing to allow open discussion and amendments to energy (read fuel) legislation. They fear members of the Senate and House (both parties) would agree on a resolution that would be good for America, and it may give one party or the other, in this case the republicans, a political advantage in November’s presidential election. If this isn’t a recipe for anger, rage, I don’t know what the political system will have to do to wake America up.

There you have it, waking Up America is what Patriots Revolt is about…a revolt against the two major party political games that penalize America solely for political gain of an incestuous political apparatus. The Congress is well aware America is being raped at the gas pumps, by the Middle East profiteers, the speculators, but politicians use the citizens pain to manipulate themselves a “larger personal trough”. Does it get more despicable than this? Can this be tolerated another 5, 10, 20 years…let our Grandchildren grapple with the problem? It should not be delayed any more…we have allowed the political system to turn us into slaves and it’s our responsibility to “break free”.

If you haven’t visited Patriots Revolt web site in the last few days, take another look, browse through the blogs and forums. At 10:30 PM, 7-23-08 there were over 350 visitors on line at the same time…quite remarkable and significant I’m told, even for a major site, let alone an new one.We are being heard. You will find many features on the site that make it easy to write letters to editors, send letters to politicians,email to major media/talk show hosts, post your thoughts on your own blog or add to the forum, comment on others observations and generally stay in touch. Don’t forget to send your “tea bag” letters to Congress…make it happen,let them know a tea party is coming.

Should the Republican Convention vote “no confidence” on McCain on the first ballot, we will have a new republican candidate. Democrats should consider the same action…Obama in Berlin addressing “people of the world”, talking down America is not my idea of leadership America needs….neither McCain nor Obama are right for America. They have too many negatives that point to selling America’s sovereignty, subjecting future generations to a clock that is ticking toward losing freedom as we know it.

There will be a third party candidate suggested that can turn America on it’s political head. If we stick together and put America before political party allegiance a miracle will happen.

I would urge each and every one of us to switch party affiliation right now if we are Democrat or Republican. Change to Independent. We need millions to do this…..there is no way the major parties can overlook losing party members…the primaries are over switching will not impact your ability to vote for who you want to……just do it.

We need to stand up folks or we’ll wake up kneeling, and it won’t be to a sovereign God.

Best,

PATRIOTS REVOLT FEEDBACK

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Friends,

First…to send comments, requests, recommendations, problems, etc to Patriots Revolt please use info@patriotsrevolt.com

Many of you sent comments when you completed the pledge form at Patriots Revolt web site. Those of you that commented will find your contribution below. This only reflects those that commented, not the entire list of those that pledged. There has been no editing or omissions.

The comments were offered in light of the stated goals of Patriots Revolt and as messages to Americas political leaders. Remember this movement was just started a few days ago….we are grass roots without any major national media source to help with our message. It takes me, you, your email list, your blog, your letter to your local paper, your family, your group, et al, to spread our message.

I sent a letter to editor, it was published in the local paper and resulted in six Patriots signing our pledge…..everyone can do the same..take some words from stuff I have sent, use your own words, word from our web site, whatever it takes to get a letter out…there is no pride of authorship in anything I write…you use it as your own if it fits.

Forgive the length of the email. The purpose of providing this feedback is for information and to share what America is thinking and to let you know we’re not alone…often we hear what polls say, what some talking head shares…..the comments below come from Americans that have been abandoned by the elite political apparatus in America….the tangible betrayal of American citizens is all around us…the rudder in America is broke.

It will be painful to restore what we have lost. For sure it won’t start by electing more of the same…selecting the “lesser evil” so to speak. It takes a measure of backbone, courage, guts, however one describes bucking the system and charting an “uprising” in America to stop the “criminal rape of our citizens”. I admit there is a certain amount of fear in electing a candidate…America is addicted to a political apparatus that is destroying our country…it may take a catastrophic event for America to begin the road to recovery.

When we have two presidential candidates that alienate ordinary, hard working Americans the way McCain and Obama do, it makes no sense to elect either one…..we have to do what we can to show the political establishment in America the “robot” like obedience to one party or the other is over.

I pray for a miracle to alter the conditions and choices we have for our presidential options.

Please use info@patriotsrevolt.com to send suggestions, to volunteer, problems, etc…

P.S. My prayer yesterday evening was that our web site would be overwhelmed with interest…it was and it was caused to crash…..our webmaster apologized to those that were trying to get on while it was down but couldn’t until he upgraded the site….I hate to make his life miserable by traffic crashing the site, but, then I don’t either…our message is getting out there and that’s part of the task.

HERE’S YOUR COMMENTS………….

Ron said: I should not have to hold my nose when I vote - and I won’t!

——————————————————————————–
Sam said: Start doing what we have elected you all to do. Stop the nonsense decision surrounding Washington these days. If the decisions made were a crime, all of you would be in Jail..So get with it..We the people want common Sense change.

——————————————————————————–
David says: We need change and not Obama’s type. McCain will not give the change this country needs either. They are both part of the problem not an answer to the problem.

——————————————————————————–
Bob says: America has had a non-working ‘broken’ Congress for far too long - - we MUST set term limits to eliminate the elitist/life-long/career politician who only consider themselves NOT America.

——————————————————————————–
Joe says: I 2want a LEADER

——————————————————————————–
Eve says: I have a bit of “change” you can believe in: many of you come up for re-election in 2008, 2010, and 2012–WE CAN CHANGE YOU OUT for representatives who work for OUR COUNTRY’S INTERESTS.

——————————————————————————–
Lloyd says: The Patriots Revolt needs to establish the Patriots Party and run true conservative candidates for state and federal elective offices. Also, you need a street or post office address where supporters can send information and donations.

——————————————————————————–
Tom says: I think this is the best chance to get our point across to our candidates and the congress.

——————————————————————————–
Jackie says: You must “Wake UP and smell the roses”. As has been stated, “Enough is Enough”, We won’t stand by and see our country’s sovereignty eroded. Pay attention to what your constituents want. After all, you are supposed to be serving the people and not the other way around. We must do every thing possible to keep America’s sovereignty in tack not go into a One World Government. I view this as the greatest danger to America

——————————————————————————–
Robert says: No more H1B Visas unless Americans can not be found for the jobs - Also, the person hired must be paid the going American wage for the job.

——————————————————————————–
Joan says: I strongly urge our politicians to put aside their party differences and enforce the safety, health & welfare concerns of the LEGAL United States Citizens. Also urge them to stop the attempt to remove God from our Nation. Without God in our lives in this country, we will soon cease to exist as a free nation in this world.

——————————————————————————–
PHD says: It is about time that those who are elected to represent “We the people . . . ” do just that, and not self-serve or deny the people that for which they yearn — honesty and transparency in government — and less of it. I would add that there be an irrevocable decision to deny any “loan” to any country that isn’t friendly and accepting of the United States of America.

——————————————————————————–
Samuel says: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord!!!!!!!! Wake up and hear God speaking!

——————————————————————————–
Kenneth says: start doing what the American people want and demand

——————————————————————————–
Brad says: A move back to conservative values is a must and required for the preservation of our Republic.

——————————————————————————–
LE says: GOD Bless America!

——————————————————————————–
Joseph says: I am a Airborne Infantry Combat Veteran of the Vietnam War and a retired law enforcement officer. I went to Vietnam in 1968 a Democrat and returned in 1969 a Republican and have been a registered Republican ever since. I consider myself a Reagan Republican, however the Republican Party is straying from the once proud conservative party to a party who’s candidates will give in to liberal goals and ideas to retain their seats of power. Let us get back to American Values and Traditions.

——————————————————————————–
Herb says: To all who see these presents: Be advised that I refuse to support you unless the foregoing demands are met.

——————————————————————————–
Elizabeth says:We MUST have national leaders who believe in America’s sovereignty and in her Constitutional governance.

——————————————————————————–
Bill says: All Congress should remember that they are the servants and not the masters.

——————————————————————————–
Eva says: Stop the invasion of America NOW! Build that fence that you promised us NOW! Drill NOW!

——————————————————————————–
Luke says: The INVASION of the USA by 12 to 20 million criminals, illegals and terrorists and our governments failure to secure our borders and ports is proof that our elected officials have abandoned the American People. They all need impeached and then prosecuted for failing to defend our country from all enemies forge in and domestic. I will not stand by and let the politicians continue to refuse to protect this country and it’s people.

——————————————————————————–
Patti says: The time has come for those in positions in government to remember: they are where they are only in accordance with a social contract with the people, whereby we exchanged our votes as currency in exchange for their promises to represent us faithfully and to carry out policy as we dictate. A breach of this contract does have ramifications and we intend to see to it that those ramifications are carried out for the unfaithful, unlawful, and unconstitutional acts of those in government positions.
——————————————————————————–
Rick says: We dumped tyranny before, we can do it again!

——————————————————————————–
Connie says: I had to scold John and Cindy on a school campus for handing out tobacco products to youth. They seem to have a lot of misplaced concerns!
——————————————————————————–
Mark says: Congress is broken. Fix it or get out of Washington. The tax paying voters are sick and tired of the inaction of our government to get anything accomplished.
——————————————————————————–
Ed says: Do what you where elected to do, REPRESENT the people !!!
——————————————————————————–
David says: As things stand, Bob Barr will get my vote unless Dr. Ron Paul gets the Republican nod.
——————————————————————————–
Brian says: It is long overdue. To watch the so-called leaders of our country turn their backs on God, open our borders, sell out our country to foreign entities, condemn our military personnel, continue to ease punishment for lawlessness, invent more programs to give away tax money to people who choose not work, and raising our taxes to pay for it. It doesn’t take an overstuffed suit with a college degree to figure out the end result of this kind of leadership. We need to return to the basic common sense principles that made this country the envy of the world before it’s to late. The chickens will come home to roost, let’s pray there is no fox in the henhouse. God bless America!

——————————————————————————–
Daniel says: Take a look at Alan Keyes, or anyone else that wants to rid the Country of illegals,and FIGHT for Our rights under the 2nd amendment. And save American jobs.

——————————————————————————–
Lauren says: The Constitution limits the power of government, while it protects the power of the people.

——————————————————————————–
Bill says: ALLOF OUR TOP LEADERS AND MOST OF OUR MID LEADERS ARE TRAITORS We need patriots like Ron Paul and others like him to run this country

——————————————————————————–
Kevin says: A veteran — whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve — is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to The “United States of America”, for an amount of “up to and including my life.” That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. –Author Unknown

——————————————————————————–
Greg says: As a disabled for life U.S.Army veteran of the Vietnam War I wholeheartedly voted for John McCain 1982 when he first ran for congress. I will not make the same mistake. Vote the constitution party. Baldwin/Castle. Darrell Castle is a disabled Nam vet and like Baldwin a Christian first American second. I don’t support Newt. Why ? He let the draft dodger in chief slide. Just say NO to Newt

——————————————————————————–
Larry says: Those elected to an office are there to serve the best interest of our country as put forth in the founding documents such as the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence just to name two

——————————————————————————–
Anthony says: The 55 MPH law caused substantially more wrecks because the improved drive handling rendered driving slow very boring. Wrecks will sky rocket. How about this one? Environmentalists are ecstatic that people are driving less because of gas prices. Are they ecstatic that we are forced to buy cheaper, less nutritional food to save money there too? You make me sick.

——————————————————————————–
ArJay says: This election cycle is one for the Guinness Book……the first national contest where both candidates are friggin’ DEMOCRATS! The “Manchurian McCandidate” will NEVER get my vote!

——————————————————————————–
Robert says: Right on!

——————————————————————————–
Colin says: I am so very proud of you!! This is exactly what has been needed, but too many of us (including me) thought it could never come about. It can; it must; it will !!

——————————————————————————–
Glenn says: Congress, both Republicans and Democrats alike, need to start doing the job they were elected to do. Stop the “in-house” fighting and stop catering to the big “power companies/businesses/groups”.

——————————————————————————–
Deb says: I believe our Founding Fathers set up the best way for the people of this country to be governed. The Constitution is not made up of “suggestions”. I also believe that this country and it’s Constitution are worth fighting for to the end.

——————————————————————————–
David says: Time to wake up !

——————————————————————————–
Vincent says: two additional need to addressed: 1)returning the current or future administrations to a Constitutional form of government. 2)Address the illegal wars, and the US becoming an aggressor nation. Thank you

——————————————————————————–
Don says: Read about President James K. Polk. He helped to build America. Today’s politicians are destroying America.

——————————————————————————–
Dan says: If you really want to fix “Social Security”, how about putting all of yourselves on it & getting rid of your personal pension plans ?

——————————————————————————–
Erika says: AMERICAN CITIZENS FIRST!!

——————————————————————————–
Lura says: We must do something to turn America away from Socialism. Individual Liberty is under assault. The Government continues to overstep their Constitutional bounds.

——————————————————————————–
Lou says: I was going to hold my nose and vote for McCain, but after his pandering to the racist groups, LULAC and La Raza, I can not with a clear conscience vote for him. He cares more about the Latino vote than mine, and he is trying hard to win the trust of Latinos but not mine. Only a commitment to Patriot Revolt demands could change my mind or my vote!

——————————————————————————–
Anthony says: FAIR TAX, TERM LIMITS

——————————————————————————–
Hugh says: you don’t even get it, do you McCain?

——————————————————————————–
Janet says: what ever happened to WE THE PEOPLE–neither one is good for this country

——————————————————————————–
Stephen says: Represent and communicate with the working citizens of your district. Establish term limits for all elected positions (Max eight years) or two full terms as president has.)! Term limits will keep the government officials from padding their pockets with excessive raises and minimize the weight of lobbyists and the power of there “gifts.”

——————————————————————————–
Steven says: I feel every problem facing this country can be directly traced back to the congress and I feel that every one of these men and women should be fired. Not voted out, it takes to long and never happens, but fired. Told to pack your crap and get the hell out. Then vote in awhole new batch to see if they want to do the bidding of the people and look after the welfare of the USA and her people. Not the interest of special interest groups who want to bring this country to its knees.

——————————————————————————–
Linda says: Grow up and work together!

——————————————————————————–
Patrice and Tony say: The United States of America needs a leader like Congressman Tom Tancredo - a true conservative, with integrity and principles!

——————————————————————————–
Gary says: lets get this thing going! thank you

——————————————————————————–
Pam says: It is about time someone had the guts to stand up and say what I believe most of us as Americans and Christians want.

——————————————————————————–
John says: It’s time to end the ‘Private Elite Club” on the Hill that doesn’t listen to the American People (U.S. citizens!).

——————————————————————————–
Michael says: No more business as usual

——————————————————————————–
Thor says: This government has committed treason against the nation. The American people formally declare the Second American Revolution.

PATRIOTS REVOLT ROLLS

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

Friends,

Patriots Revolt has shot off like a rocket…..the web site has barely gotten off the ground and we’re well entrenched on the search engines and gaining steam every day, hundreds if not thousands have visited our site. Many additionl tools will be added to the site in coming days.

Our pledges are coming from all over America and even from Canada. A lady from Winchester, VA pretty well sums it all up: I believe our Founding Fathers set up the best way for the people of this country to be governed. The Constitution is not made up of “suggestions”. I also believe that this country and it’s Constitution are worth fighting for to the end.

We have received dozens of passionate comments, all focused on America…it’s not about persons our mail talks about, it’s the pleading for action….with a loud cry “I WANT AMERICA BACK”.

In just a few days, our numbers are well over a hundred patriots that have already made the tough commtiment and signed our pledge to not vote for McCain unless he honors our “demands”…we will not compromise. Our numbers will increase exponentially as word of our effort circulates…remember we are not nationally known but a grass roots movement that will gain traction of massive proportiion…critical that each of us pass our message to email list, write letters to editors, organize local rallies, demonstrations, with signs challenging McCain, etc…I would mention we received one pledge that “disagrees”…his courage to take his stand is honored.

In short, we’ve barely gotten off the ground and our message is resonating with America in a dramatic fashion. Many of us are finally to the point of saying, and it pains my heart to consider the ramifications, but if it takes Obama, a man that has been taught in the Muslim educaton system who is opposed to basic moral teachings, to wake America up, then friends, maybe that’s the painful penalty we must bear and what it will take…God help us.

The continued decade after decade of incestuous republican and democrat elites ruling America while the people are abandoned has reached a point totally intolerable…we are on the path to political revolt. Pray it goes no farther.

Have you noticed the Republican National Convention web site has a tab for “en espanol” just like the Democrats Convention page? What’s wrong with English? Do you think Americans need to speak in spanish to converse about American election issues? We know where Obama sleeps, what additional evidence do we need of McCain’s leanings to the illegal alien community?

Several have asked about the time-line for our efforts…right now our task is for all of us to do everything we can to spread the message that “the revolt against the criminal political rape of America has been joined.”

We need some organization, which is being worked on, but mainly we need to raise an Army willing to stand up and say “we’ve had enough”.

My personal prayer is that our webmaster will find the web site crashing soon because of the tens of thousands of patriots that want to join us……..

God bless America…can we keep her?

AMERICA AT THE PRECIPICE

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Friends,

I have been implicit and usually very explicit as to my belief that America is in serious jeopardy on many fronts. Millions of citizens in America seem to agree with me…will we take the radical action necessary and reverse the threat?

While America is still the most wonderful place on the earth to live, the question I suggest is “can we keep it that way” with the incompetent political leadership we’ve had over the past few years and the caliber of talent on the horizon?

America is thirsting for national figures that stand up courageously, can say what they mean without being fed by handlers, have a heart for America that cannot be denied. Neither McCain or Obama are up to the task, falling far short of what it takes to lead the greatest nation on earth.

We have major issues that leadership, to include the candidates, seem unable to grasp. Our moral condition continues to deteriorate, fuel prices punish all Americans, lawlessness expands unabated, illegal immigration is out of control, a Supreme Court that uses ideology or imaginary rationale to decide major cases, neither party in congress can accomplish anything for citizens, a congress that publicly surrenders to barbaric murderers while America blood still flows on the battlefield, American cities harbor criminals in defiance of law without sanction,an Administration that will pardon a bureaucrat but leave railroaded border guards in prison, send our men and women to war and then prosecute them for doing their job, politicans serve in-your-face notice they will spend any amount of your tax dollars where and when they want, on and on……..folks this is just a sample.

Think about it. Both presidential candidates lack any solid base of where they stand. Have we heard either John McCain or Barak Obama announce principles they believe in and will not compromise? Have we heard these candidates forcefully commit to a list they absolutely reject? It seems acceptable for a candidate to deceive until one group is convinced, then move to another group and deceive again, and again…we have no checks and balances to hold them accountable…the political mechanism and media control our thoughts and limit our voices. Don’t you want a candidate that has the courage to stand before America and say what they believe in? Or are you happy with a candidate who feels a little pressure, then abandons a position and goes another direction, just for a vote? No principle, just a mushy nothing.

We have candidates that court Latinos and say one thing, court homosexuals and say another, court illegals and offer hope, court women with two opposite messages, court liberals, religious groups, conservatives and more…telling them all a little bit of what they want to hear, not what’s good for America. We are treated as small groups of sheep guarded by political wolves. There is no such thing as integrity in politics by any measure, our founding principles are a nuisance…it is destroying America.

Well for me, I’m sick, disgusted by the betraying politicians that will say anything to anybody to get a vote and mean none of what they say. Can we ignore over 200 years of sacrifice, blood, and treasure being trashed by selfish, greedy, power-hungry politicians? Even now our warriors on the battlefield are treated as cannon fodder while the politicians spar over their agenda for power. It just doesn’t get more despicable.

If Americans want Obama as their candidate that’s their choice.

As for many of us, John McCain is not a conservative, is a pretender, a wind from all directions, reflects the energy of a mushroom, much like Bob Dole, is the presumptive nominee because he has paid his dues to the republican apparatus. He will be defeated by a socialist, inexperienced novice at a time America needs solid leadership, courage, ideas and solutions.

The sooner conservatives and the republican party come to grips that McCain is a loser, not good for the republican party, not accepted by conservatives, and most of all, not good for America, the sooner corrective action can be taken.

Conservatives and republicans can wake up now, support a movement to reject McCain at the republican convention, or wake-up January 2009 with a virtual unknown with questionable credentials at best in the White House…be prepared to weep America.

If you fear for our nation, I invite you to visit Patriots Revolt and join a movement to reject John McCain if he ignores our demands. The alternative is a radical call for another candidate to carry the conservative banner. It will take millions of us to get the attention of the republican party and America…we need ideas, volunteers(young and not so young), and commitment to help accomplish the mission.

Some are calling our movement “lunacy, wild-eyed fringe”, etc…but I’ll tell you folks we wouldn’t be America without some “wild-eyed radicals” thinking America was worth fighting for. We don’t compare to our fore-fathers but the threat is just as great in my humble opinion.

If you can accept Obama as the next President of the United States, do nothing.

Patriots Revolt is just that, a revolt against the current crime of political rape of America.

“The time has come for those in positions in government to remember: they are where they are only in accordance with a social contract with the people, whereby we exchanged our votes as currency in exchange for their promises to represent us faithfully and to carry out policy as we dictate. A breach of this contract does have ramifications and we intend to see to it that those ramifications are carried out for the unfaithful, unlawful, and unconstitutional acts of those in government positions.” Patti Thornhill

MORE ABOUT PATRIOTS REVOLT

Saturday, July 12th, 2008

Patriots Revolt is just that, a revolt against the current crime of political rape of America.

We are a conservative political activist movement, with allegiance to no political party, comprised of millions of America’s citizens to include veterans. We hail from all walks of life, not limited to any one stratum of the American fabric, truly a cross section of Americans. What we have in common is our disgust at the despicable betrayal by the political apparatus against the people of America.

The strongest desires of Patriots Revolt are to return accountability of the United States government to its citizens: Government of the people, by the people and for the people; not government of one-world, or by the elite,or for special interest groups.

We, Patriots Revolt, approach you today to publicize our existence and welcome your participation. With your help, we hope to air our grievances to the people of the United States of America by enlisting their support and participation in this struggle to regain sanity!

We oppose both presidential candidates in that we believe they are neither qualified, prepared, nor understand the needs of, or threats to America, nor do we believe they care about the people of America. We need a candidate who is not working for his political party but for the people,and who does not believe he is above the law, winks at illegal activity, or reflects an unethical history. Our candidate, therefore, must be conservative in political thought and governance, have an ear for the people, and whose sole aim is an effort to restore American values and common sense given us by God and our founding fathers.

With your help, Patriots Revolt will be instrumental in steering the Republican Party and this current presidential selection to a candidate that is conservative, displays an initiative to listen to, and abides by the will of the American people.

The fervent hope of Patriots Revolt is to accomplish the following:

1. work to rescue the Republican Party from the Bush/McCain slow death approach and restore a vibrant conservative, of the people, by the people, for the people choice for America;

2. to alert disenchanted, disenfranchised American citizens to an alternative to the present candidates of the major parties;

3. enlist an army of conservative minded individuals who will join forces with Patriots Revolt to shed the yoke of appeasement, pandering, self-serving, greedy, politicians willing to surrender our sovereignty; and

4. find presidential candidates who will govern according to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Patriots Revolt solicits your assistance to make our movement known by:

1.  writing letters to the editor, calling talk shows, informing local organizations (e.g.,VFW, Legion, Chamber of Commerce, DAV), alerting email lists, etc.;

2.  acquainting individuals to the existence, purpose and goals of the Movement;

3.  encouraging people to learn more about Patriots Revolt at our website www.patriotsrevolt.com , where they can register, pledge moral support, and become a voice supporting America as envisioned by our founding fathers;

4.  encouraging you and others that received this to forward to their email lists, link www.patriotsrevolt.com on personal blogs…in short the time for political revolt is now, not 2, 5, 10, or 20 years…it’s now folks no matter where the chips fall……we must take back America to our roots, and finally;.

5.  click here and visit Patriots Revolt home page, read our goals, objectives, and complete the pledge at the bottom of the home page. It’s not about McCain or Obama, it’s about America and the threat both these men pose to our way of life.

PATRIOTS REVOLT - - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

 

Friends,

This message announces the formation of PATRIOTS REVOLT www.patriotsrevolt.com , a movement to reach American Patriots who want “America Back”. If you believe John McCain and Barak Obama are the wrong choices for President of the United States, then this message is for you.

PATRIOTS REVOLT is focused on steering presidential selection to a candidate that is conservative, has an ear for the people, in an effort to restore American values and common sense given us by God and our founding fathers. WE WANT AMERICA BACK

PATRIOTS REVOLT is a bold, out of the box initiative that some have already written off as fantasy…don’t you believe it. For sure, it will take millions of patriots to sign up in support and there are tens of millions of American patriots that indeed support what you will read in this message.

PATRIOTS REVOLT POSITION

We oppose Barak Obama completely…PATRIOTS REVOLT will never accept this empty suit, anti-American candidate as president of the United States.

We oppose John McCain for his past and current condition of Leftist pandering with nearly the same fervor. His actions confirm our belief he is not qualified, prepared, or understands the threats and needs facing America. With this said, McCain does rank ahead of Obama…with 100 being worst, Obama ranks at 100, McCain is at 99…one point improvement over Obama…both are without merit.

If you research both of these men, you will find “what they say they will do to get elected” is far removed from official positions they have taken in the past. Their talk does not match their demonstrated past actions…don’t be duped by election year rhetoric…we need presidential timber that has a solid conservative record of performance that can be verified as consistent with future proposed direction.

WHAT CAN BE DONE?

Supported by millions of American patriots:

1. Present the Republican National Committee and John McCain with a list of demands they must accept or risk all American patriots voting for a candidate other than McCain.

2. Convince the Republican National Committee (RNC) to conclude John McCain cannot win the election in November 2008 and delegates select no winner on the first ballot at the national convention resulting in a “brokered convention”.

(A brokered convention, where no nominee is selected on the first ballot, will seek Godly guidance in discussing, analyzing, evaluating, and voting to accept additional presidential nominations from the floor. The goal should be to nominate and elect a presidential candidate with credentials consistent with a Reagan vision for America to become President of the United States.

DISCUSSION:

Below is a list of demands the Republican National Committee and Senator John McCain, presumptive Republican presidential nominee must agree to abide with in order to attract patriot voters, voters who place America before politics. Rejection of these demands will be considered a rejection against America and result in a voter rejection of John McCain, should he be the nominee.

If Senator McCain and the RNC agree to heed these demands, rest assured any future political amnesia of the commitment will result in severe repercussions beginning with 2010 Congressional elections. Consider President George HW Bush 1992 fate after he ignored his “read my lips, no new taxes” commitment.

If Senator McCain fails to heed these demands, millions of patriots will go to a “third party” candidate or a “write-in” candidate to be determined.

Should a brokered convention occur, RNC must give these demands substantial weight in considering and selecting the republican presidential nominee.

If you support PATRIOTS REVOLT demands and agree that America is in serious political jeopardy,with drastic action needed, we ask you to register your name, city, state, etc here, agreeing to reject John McCain if he ignores our demands, and support a “brokered convention if that occurs.

Please don’t sigh and say “we can’t do that”. We can and must do this. The political apparatus is not the decision makers…we are, the voters. What the delegates do at the convention is not their will, but the will of the American people. Only a small percentage of America, a few million, have said McCain is the choice…the other 250 million have not spoken. It will only take a few million of us to out number the primary votes McCain received and convince the republican apparatus a new candidate is demanded. If we want it to happen and speak loudly enough,McCain will go and a conservative will carry the republican banner in November 2008…and win the Presidency.

PATRIOT REVOLT DEMANDS:

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that we WILL DRILL AMERICA, DRILL NOW, AND PAY LESS! It is unconscionable sitting on trillions of cubic feet of our own natural gas and billions of barrels of our own oil while begging Arabs for more.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to build more refineries, upgrade existing refineries, develop clean safe nuclear power, and disengage from initiatives that require more fuel than they produce.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that the borders WILL be closed and NO illegals will get ANY amnesty or special consideration. Legal immigration is the only way into America.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that employers of known illegals will be prosecuted. This will cause illegals to go home on their own…real wages for real Americans will rise.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that federal funding will be withdrawn from “sanctuary cities”…immediately! As Americans we must obey the federal laws… so should city officials… or de-fund and prosecute them.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ONLY strict constructionist federal and Supreme Court judges will be nominated and supported in hearings! Abiding by our Constitution has worked to get us here… it will work for our future.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that NO new tax bills will be signed.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that there will be NO carbon tax schemes and NO so called “global warming” or “climate change” agreements catering to the fear mongers claiming “man-made” climate change.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that ALL congressional earmarks will be vetoed.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that Social Security will be reformed and made solvent to end any illegal scheme that will devastate the retirement of so many.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to oppose all forms of abortion, oppose embryonic stem cell research but support adult stem cell research, oppose same sex marriage, oppose civil unions of same sex couples, and support marriage as a union between one man and one woman.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to retain “under God” in our pledge of allegiance, our coins to retain “in God we trust”, and English declared the official single language of the United States.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to support official renewed emphasis on POW and MIA recovery efforts and an apology from Senator McCain for his unacceptable personal conduct toward POW/MIA, Swiftboat, and Minute Men activists.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment to stop the treasonous North American Union and the NAFTA Super Highway, rejection of Law of the Sea Treaty, and support United Nations withdrawal.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that active military, veterans/retirees and family members receive priority consideration for health-care, compensation, all earned support, equivalent to the priority given to secure our nation.

We WANT an absolute, unequivocal, commitment that if United States security is threatened, before American military forces are committed, the President will request and Congress will issue a “declaration of war”.

(Please note these “demands” do not speak to all conservative issues but are examples that should point RNC and John McCain away from their current pandering direction.)

It is not likely we can ever match the sacrifice and courage of our “Founding Fathers” but we can at least develop an attitude willing to fight for the freedom sacrificed for us.
“We the people…”; “…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,…”; “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
The above quotes/principles taken from the US Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Gettysburg Address are threatened,even stolen by a corrupt, dysfunctional political machine that only cares about it’s incestuous lust for power. We cannot allow America to sink because we failed to stand up.

CONCLUSION

If John McCain, and the RNC, acknowledge these demands and make strong commitments to support the demands, Patriots will be more likely to support the McCain candidacy if he is the nominee.

The preferred action is for the Republican National Convention to conclude John McCain is the wrong candidate, refrain from a first ballot nomination, adopt “brokered convention” procedures, and select a new candidate.
