Restoring our Rights
To the President and
Congress of the United States
We, the people of the United States, demand that all of our personal liberties, as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, be reinstated in their original clarity and intent as the supreme law of the land. All limitations, restrictions and denials of those rights must be declared null and void. The rule of law is our most cherished heritage, the essence of our freedoms, and may not be limited or overruled for the convenience of the military, the police or any security agency.

Why is this important?
Restoring the Bill of Rights
For more than two hundred years the people of the United States have been struggling and sometimes dying to defend their freedoms from threats both foreign and domestic. The Constitution requires that all Presidents and Representatives swear to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Yet, since the attack of 9/11/01, some lawmakers, under cover of fear, have advanced the Patriot Act, the National Defense Authorization Act and other legislation that directly contradicts and infringes upon the Bill of Rights. In the name of security, most of our rights under the original Ten Amendments have been eroded, reduced or effectively lost.
