11/11/11 protesters: ‘Time for talking has passed’ – Veterans challenging Obama on legitimacy, Constitutionality

By Bob Unruh

Declaring that the “time for talking has passed,” organizers of a peaceful rally scheduled for Veteran’s Day in Washington are demanding the resignation of Barack Obama along with other members of his administration.

The rally is being assembled around the issues contained in a Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic, which sets out the goals of the organizing groups, which include the Veteran Defenders of America and its parent organization, The United States Patriots Union.

The events are scheduled to begin at the Washington Monument at 6 a.m. and continue at points around Washington, D.C., throughout the day. How many people are expected isn’t being released, nor is the membership information for the “member-only” organizations.

But they know who will not be participating:

According to Col. James Harding of the veterans organization also served by retired Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, “It is much easier to list who is not on board at this point – leftists who have a very anti-American vision for America, people who have not yet accepted that there is no political solution now and those who have a seat at the table of corruption are not on board.”

The organizations have issued a code of conduct for the events, calling for peaceful protest and resistance. And while they acknowledge they are not likely to have the resignations in hand by the end of that day, they say there is a very important reason to rally.

“We have to start somewhere,” said Timothy Harrington, cofounder of the Patriots Union. “We are hoping to show D.C. insiders that the people have had enough. That the time for talking has passed and the time for serious action to save this nation has arrived.”

This job should already have been accomplished, the organizers point out.

“Every member of every branch of government has taken an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution and the people of the United States and it’s high time we see which of them is ready to live up to that oath.”

The crux of the issue is the still-unresolved dispute over whether Obama is eligible for the office of president, or whether he’s been usurping the authority of an office for which he fails to qualify. Following closely are the actions he’s taken while in office, from strong-arming private companies into doing what he wants to imposing amnesty by fiat on the American public.

There have been lawsuits over his eligibility, as the Constitution requires a president to be a “natural-born citizen.” The Constitution does not define the term, but texts consulted by the Founders and U.S. Supreme Court decisions indicate it refers to the offspring of two citizen parents.

Obama’s father never was a U.S. citizen, and critics argue that made him unqualified under the Constitution.
The event is calling upon all freedom-loving citizens “fed up with the corruption and tyranny in D.C. to take a stand.”

A preview of what’s to be going on: There should be no shortage of people willing to abide by the oaths they’ve taken to ensure the Constitution and the republic is protected, according to JB Williams, who is integral to the operations of the organizing units and a key leader in the protest planning. He says military personnel, officers, members of Congress and the judiciary, and employees of the federal government all make such an affirmation when they take their posts.

The enlisted service members oath requires obedience to orders of the president and the orders of “officers appointed over me,” but the oaths for officers, the judiciary, members of Congress and federal employees simply require support for the Constitution.

For example, the officers’ oath states, “Having been appointed an officer in the Army of the United States … [I] do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic … So help me God.”

“Amid an endless stream of conspiracy theories, a real conspiracy was under way and well-founded concerns for the true state of our union led many to one question surfacing repeatedly with increasing anxiety – ‘Why are our soldiers allegedly fighting for freedom and liberty abroad while we are being stripped of our freedom and liberty at home?” Williams said.

He said there are more than 21 million federal employees, and all of them have submitted to an oath affirming their loyalty to the Constitution.

“Violating their oath is not just cause for immediate dismissal and removal from office, it is a federal crime,” he explained.

From that set of facts comes the “Call-to-Action” scheduled for Veteran’s Day:

We CALL upon every member of federal, state and local government, legislative, judicial, law enforcement and military, who have taken an oath to protect and defend the constitutional republic from all enemies, foreign and domestic, to act upon those oaths for the stated purpose of restoring the constitutional republic.
We CALL upon ALL veterans and veteran organizations in America, who still believe in their oath to protect and defend, to unite with us at once – in this Declaration to Restore the Constitutional Republic.
We CALL for ALL citizens who still desire freedom and liberty, to stand with us in peaceful protest, and carry our demands to right the wrongs against our nation in the preservation of freedom, liberty, justice and the rule of law.

The list of charges which Obama and his team of government managers are being called to provide an account of includes dozens, from amnesty for illegal aliens in America, spending U.S. taxpayer money to restore Muslim mosques overseas, plans to tax contributions to U.S. churches, creating “targeted assassinations” of U.S. citizens, disgracing America by bowing for foreign tyrants and assembling a team of “czars” to dictate what happens.
The Canada Free Press decried the almost complete lack of coverage of such a significant event.
