The federal
constitution ratified by the people of the States provided for
a limited government to handle specified joint affairs of the
States. The document describes itself not as "the U.S. Constitution"
or the "Constitution of the United States," but as a
"Constitution FOR the United States of America." With
this in mind, read what follows in the preamble as the purposes
of this instrument: "forming a more perfect Union,"
"common defense," and "general welfare." Throughout
the document "United States" is a plural (the States
United) and treason against the United States consists of levying
war against THEM.
As clear
and simple as these facts are and have always been, grasping them
seems to be beyond the abilities of presidents, congresspersons,
supreme court justices, and professors of "Constitutional
Law" at the most prestigious institutions.
In recent
times the abuses of these people (what the Founders would have
described as "usurpations" justifying rebellion) have
run amuck, distorting an already wounded constitution beyond recognition.
Ambition, rent-seeking, willful historical ignorance, deceit,
ideology, and the lust for power (which the Founders hoped to
guard against) have rendered the real constitution of our forefathers
virtually null and void. This has prompted serious citizens to
re-expound what the Constitution for the United States is supposed
to be. There have been good books in this vein by Professors Thomas
Woods, Walter K. Wood, and Kevin Gutzman, and by William J. Watkins
and Judge Andrew Napolitano.

Great Article and Response,
No one can argue with the 3 most powerful words ever written in the American Constitution,“United we Stand.”
I believe “We” all need to come together and be involved. Nothing will change until“We the People” actively participate in our own self-determination. That is what America once stood for – I for one, would like to see more of our countrymen and women wake up, stand up, and unite together.
I invite you to visit http://www.united-we-stand.net and peruse the various designs of America’s 50 States including in its form of United States - “AMERICA.” I ask graciously that you share this with others who may see the intrinsic value of the message -“United We Stand!”
The two most prevalent forms of communication are audio and visual. Unite them for a more powerful message.
If you want people to rally behind a message, you need strong visualizations. Find a simple form of delivery and it can spread like wildfire. Keep the message constant and people will begin to believe it. Like a heartbeat… it has to be constant and carry a strong beat to stay alive. The message will carry more weight when it is backed by “numbers” – one million supporters carry more weight to any issue than just a few voices.
The American persona was founded on a declaration of unity. People standing together to be counted is a very powerful civics lesson -“United We Stand!” The understanding that “together – United” We can make a difference – United, We can be heard. Visuals can turn up the volume on any message without damaging an eardrum. A visual can become a powerful magnifier.
Consider a rally of 100-1000 people on the steps of your state capitol or the ‘White House.” There will be a large number of hodgepodge and mismatched articles of clothing that speaks psychologically of confusion. Dress those same people with “United We Stand!” t-shirts and the rally becomes a more powerful message. “United We Stand!” behind this bill, this event, this candidate…etc. It loudly proclaims – “We” come in numbers because“We” believe in the message and together “We” have found common ground.
