Finally : Citizens of America, tonight we want to inform you that all necessary measures are being taken to insure that national election processes and procedures can now proceed. Therefore, with the concurrence of the congress and board of governors, I am now able to make the following announcement: Primary elections to select candidates for all federal, state, and local public offices shall be held on the First Tuesday of May six months from now, and national elections to elect Presidential, Congressional, State, and Local public servants shall be on the First Tuesday of November twelve months from now.
It was the unanimous decision by this congress and concurred with by all members of the supreme court, that federal law require that our primary elections be held on the same date in every state to insure all candidates have equal opportunity unbiased by early elections in another state. Eligibility requirements for voting shall remain the same and be universally established in every state. My friends a free people cannot be forced to use their rights. But let me remind the recent past reflects what happens when free people take their liberties for granted. Today let us pledge we will not fail to exercise the most powerful liberty we share, the right to vote.
Fellow citizens as was the case when our forefathers founded our nation true patriots again have risen to the cause of liberty. Let us promise that we will teach and inspire in our children the love of liberty. So that never again shall a corrupt central government be allowed to abolish the sovereignty of our nation or the liberty our constitution guarantees all citizens. Let us rejoin our friends and families certain in the knowledge that we are once again free. Now my friends, as I leave you, let us pray that He who has authority over all things in heaven and earth, will guide us in the days that follow.
He turned and was greeted by The speaker and Richard who shook his hand and agreed he had with eloquence and sincerity accurately informed the public of the actions of congress and the board. He was given a standing ovation by the congress and as he was escorted from the hall the speaker said, you have given them hope and trust, we will honor your sacrifices by completing the work still to be done. Later after stopping at the Inn he was driven to the airport to board a waiting plane for home. When he arrived at the air base another driver was waiting to take him to his home in Vienna.
Once home he was met by a crowd of friends and family who had watched the news conference. After all had enjoyed refreshments and shared memories of the past two years many remarked that when they first started their fight they never fully expected to see it turn out this way. Goldie told them just prevails over the unjust when the people hold to their beliefs and stand as one. You all have great reason to take pride in what we have won. Teach your little ones the value of liberty and courage and they too will prevail against all odds. After their friends had departed the old man sat with his sons and daughter and Jeffrey’s wife and all the little ones and talked about their hopes for tomorrow.
They finally had time to talk and share their grief over the loss of their mother and brother Jeffrey. He asked his family their feelings about selecting a final resting place for them and a proper service to honor their memory. Difficult as it was to think of disturbing them all finally agreed it was best to give them a final resting place that could be maintained properly, a place where they could go to share their thoughts with them. He told them of his fear that he did not believe he could handle the steps that would have to be done. After the family had all departed Goldie and his daughter watched television well into the night until at last he fell asleep on the sofa.
The next morning after having breakfast he called Tim and asked him to come over. After explaining his agonizing over the need to care for Grace and Jeffrey, Tim volunteered to handle the arrangements and they will be given a final farewell at a place of your choosing. Goldie told Tim, you are a true friend, I would like to see them rest here in the village cemetery close by where I can spend time with them. Tim said If you want we can go now to see the caretakers and select a resting place for them. Tim called the trustees then said they will meet us at the cemetery. They walked the short distance from his home and met with the trustees and after spending some time He selected a shady location under a large oak tree where a family plot for five was available. After returning to his home Tim told his old friend, he knew how painful this must be, you rest now and let us prepare a place for Grace and Jeffrey.
That evening Tim assured Goldie that he and his wife would observe their removal to the funeral home where they would be taken care of then returned for burial three days from now at 1 pm Sunday afternoon. Richard is coming and bringing a chaplain to conduct the service. Goldie thanked him then After Tim left he called James, Joshua, and Jeffrey’s widow he would like for them all to come by Saturday for lunch. Saturday found the family all together where he could let them know of the plans. I would like for all of you to meet here tomorrow morning then we can all walk to the cemetery together for the services. He said Grace would want to keep this simple and casual for her and Jeffrey.
Sunday morning he awoke and was having coffee when Tim called to let him know all was prepared at the grave site, the funeral director would be there at ten o clock. Richard called, I explained you and the family wanted to walk together to the services, He understands and said He and the others will meet you at the cemetery. All would be ready for the family when you arrive. Goldie thanked Tim for his families help and said we’ll see you tomorrow.
Sunday morning all the kids and grandchildren arrived at his home early. Then two sedans arrived and Richard and others stepped out. Richard said we didn’t want you to make this walk alone friend. He said I believe you know everyone but may I introduce my friends to your family. With him were the chaplain, Wilson, and Randolph. It was sunny and warm for fall as they walked together to the cemetery. They found everything was arranged and an army honor guard was standing by.
A little one asked is this where my daddy and granny are? Goldie took her hand then asked the other children all to come with him. He walked over and placed his granddaughters hands on the casket then asked the others to do so also. He softly told them, your daddy and granny are resting here for now, but their hearts are with Jesus because they loved Him and He loves them. Always remember , if you love Jesus you will never be alone. Come now let us find a nice place for you to sit.
By then thousands of fellow patriots were gathering to pay their respects. Finally Richard rose and walked to the front to address the gathering. We have come here today to honor Jeffrey our brother patriot, and Grace, the wife and mother of this family of patriots. Many others of you who are here today we honor also for your sacrifices and we honor all those who gave their lives that we might be free. Words cannot adequately express the debt we owe this man’s wife and son. They honored him with their own lives. Today we honor them.
When the chaplain rose he started by saying, a few moments ago I heard this man tell his grandchild, those who love Jesus will never be alone. There is a hymn that promises us that. How beautiful it is. Now as we prepare a home for our departed let us rejoice for our Lord has already prepared a heavenly home where they shall abide with Him now and forever more.
After the service was completed Goldie and his family thanked all for coming then Richard and the others joined them for the walk back to his home. Once there they enjoyed coffee and companionship for a time then Richard said friend we shall leave you now but only for a time. We have almost completed our work with the congress and state legislators. Once all is done we shall ask you one more time to share our thoughts with the American people. Goldie nodded and said he would be honored to get the call.
Life was returning to normal for many in the weeks that followed. Government once again was working for the people and as the illegal immigrants were removed Americans were finding jobs. Schools began to reopen, health care once again became available, and those existing in the shadows began to reclaim their lives. Goldie and his family too were able to put the sadness behind and loo
k towards the future.
The May primary elections were held without complications then in November national elections were held and all across the nation the newly elected, many of whom were currently serving as appointees, prepared to assume their elected positions in the national, state, and local offices.
While waiting to take the oath of office the president elect met numerous times with the board of governors and current congress discussing the constitutional amendments still to be finalized. Several members of the board were asked, but declined to accept federal cabinet positions. Richard did agree to accept the position as presidential chief of staff. Then one day shortly after the new president was sworn in and the new congress was seated Richard called and once again Goldie found himself on the way to Washington. This time he was greeted by his friend Richard in his white house offices serving as chief of staff. Richard advised it has been decided that our president himself should address the nation however he wanted to insure you would be in attendance. Goldie said that is as it should be so the people hear from the president himself the state of our nation.
The day of the scheduled new conference he was taken to the capital building. All the former board of governors board members were there and they spent some time discussing the changes that had taken place. Then they were told the congress is seated and they were escorted into the hall and seated next to the speakers platform. The house speaker and vice president were also seated behind the podium. Then the Sgt. at arms announced the president and escorted him to the stage where he was then introduced by the speaker. After the applause finally subsided He began to speak.
Constitutional Convention Processes Ratify Constitutional Amendments
Mr. Speaker, members of this congress, friends, and fellow citizens: Years of inattention and indifference by our citizens led bureaucrats in Washington to believe our country was theirs for the taking. Our former president and her hirelings who would have denied you your liberty were given an opportunity to explain and defend their actions. Justice has been served and their sentences were carried out. The presidents husband, our former president, citizenship has been revoked and he remains a convicted criminal living in exile.
Fellow Americans that chapter now lies behind us. National election processes have once again been completed and we are all here today as living evidence that liberty has been restored to our land. We stand here today because brave men and women across our land rose as one to reclaim their liberty. Since we last met the former board of governors proposed, and the congress, and all fifty state legislatures ratified several constitutional amendments
It was recommended that the constitution be amended to prohibit Federal, State, and Municipal Bodies from adopting any form of income taxes. Those now in effect shall be abolished and replaced by sales tax measures. This will require significant changes and reductions in all Internal Revenue Services, but the congress, and all state legislatures are confident these changes can become final and operational before this year is ended. This was submitted to the congress as a proposed constitutional amendment, and the amendment was ratified by all fifty state legislatures and by unanimous vote of this congress.
My friends, the following proposed constitutional amendments were submitted to the members of congress and all state legislatures. First: That the second amendment be amended as follows. The right of the states to form a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, shall not be infringed. Also this additional wording was added by a stand alone sentence: The right of any lawful citizen of these united states to keep and bear arms for their defense shall not be infringed by reason of permits, licenses, registration, or for any reason excepting a citizens commission of an unprovoked crime with a firearm. This brought a standing ovation that lasted for several moments.
Second: An amendment was recommended providing that travel by motorized vehicle by any lawful citizen of these united states is now and forever a right not a privilege. That right shall not be infringed upon for any reason excepting the operation of a vehicle in a manner that endanger the lives and property of the public.
Thirdly: A proposed change to the fourth amendment was recommended that establishes the right of the people to travel in pursuit of happiness shall not be infringed without probable cause, sufficient to obtain a warrant. Specifically included are provisions attesting that the use of random road checks that stop, detain, and search citizens without probable cause violates the citizens protection from unconstitutional search and seizure and are a violation of the citizens constitutionally guaranteed civil rights. All three proposed amendments were ratified by all fifty state legislatures and by unanimous vote of this congress. They are now constitutional guarantees and the law of our nation. Again his words were met by a standing ovation.
My friends in recent years we have witnessed ever increasing attacks upon the liberty of our citizens by the use of various means of entrapment schemes lacking probable cause. It was recommended to this congress and a constitutional amendment has been ratified by this congress and all fifty state legislatures. That amendment clarifies that such nefarious policies violate the rights of all citizens and prohibits any acts of entrapment and or invasions of privacy without a warrant that infringes upon the rights of citizens to be free in their homes, persons, and effects.
It was recommended by the board that the first amendment to our constitution be amended by adding the following clause. Because our national heritage is based upon a belief in divine creation, government shall make no law prohibiting discussion of that heritage in public schools concurrently with other theories of creation or evolution. That proposed amendment was ratified by this congress and all fifty state legislatures.
Fellow Americans; More than two hundred years ago our forefathers dedicated themselves to freeing our people from the bonds of a corrupt central government. They left for us a nation conceived in liberty with a constitution that would guarantee all citizens equal liberties and a voice in our government. The founders of our constitution warned that once a central government learned they could tax the citizen our liberty would be in jeopardy. We have learned the truth of those words and have insured it shall not happen again.
George Washington cautioned against our interfering in the affairs of foreign states because such policies would lead to war. The wisdom of his words are reflected in the wars and foreign incursions where our people have served and died fighting. As recently as one year ago we had our troops stationed in more than one hundred nations around this world. To insure these policies never again threaten the economic and or physical security of our republic this congress has ratified a constitutional amendment that prohibits the stationing of our service members abroad during times of peace without the three fourths consent of the congress.
Further, This congress has repealed the presidential emergency war powers act and only by an act of congress issuing a declaration of war can our military forces be ordered into war on foreign soil. We shall defend and protect our nation once attacked with all the might at hand but we will no longer try with military force to interfere in the matters of other nations.
Fellow Americans our country is strong and our economy is growing. These gentlemen seated beside me, those who served as appointed members of congress, and this congress have acted with great dedication to restore America to the nation our founders wanted it to be. They have accomplished much but there is still work to be done. Working together we will establish constitutional reforms to insure all laws and taxes are constitutionally enacted and enforced.
Fellow Americans we are standing here today as elected representatives of the people because one man refused to give up liberty. Because of this mans unwavering belief in duty, honor, and country and his courageous stand in the face of tyranny and persecution our nation was galvanized into action. Because of him we are again a free people. Today we honor him.
Richard rose and said Goldie it’s time you meet the president. As they approached t
he president the house speaker also walked to the podium carrying a small box which he handed to the president. The president then introduced Richard who was asked to say a few words. Richard introduced Goldie to the congress by saying all of you have heard of this man and his family but it was my honor to have served with him. Words cannot express the trust and faith he inspired in myself and all who served with him and came to know him. By his actions , deeds, and words he made us believe in him and more importantly in ourselves. His great courage inspired in all of us a passion for victory against all odds. He believed and because he did we are free today.
Then the president asked Goldie to step forward. Richard with Wallace, Wilson, Randolph, Scott and the house speaker then stood to either side of him. The president shook Goldie’s hand and said, today in the name of all free people across this land of ours we honor you. By the unanimous vote of all members of our congress today we present to you, this award. For duty, courage, and patriotism beyond the call of duty you are hereby awarded the congressional medal of freedom. Richard will you do the honors.
Richard stepped forward, the speaker handed him the medal, then Richard affixed it to the chest of Goldie’s militia uniform, then embraced him. Then the president and house speaker shook his hand. Goldie looked at Richard and smiled saying you suckered me, then turned to address the congress. I accept this award in memory of my dear wife and son who gave more than I that we might be free. I accept it for all our friends, neighbors, and fellow citizens who rose to the call of liberty and for the ultimate sacrifice some were called to make. Let us pray today that the flame of liberty will live forever in the hearts of all who follow us. And pray for Gods continued blessings upon America. I leave now to return to my family certain that our country is in good hands. I am humbled by your thanks and honored by your friendship.
