Articles of Secession? The Sovereign Resolves of Bob Belvedere

Bob Belvedere posted the following at his site, the Camp of the Saints. I agree with his sentiments.  Bob may not know it, but Thomas Jefferson would have agreed with him   Thomas Jefferson said: “Whensoever the General Government assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.”  In other words, we don't have to obey them.

Here's Bob:

The Leftists who are in control of the Executive and Legislative Branches of the national government of The United State have been staging a silent coup d’état — what Victor Davis Hanson is calling a ‘a quiet but insidious revolution’. Without resorting to guns and physical force, they have been systematically converting the federal government from a constitutional republic into a non-representative government.

With the signing of the health care reform bill today, the Congress and the Executive have violated their oaths of office and have delegitimized their authority over we the people of United States, who are the sovereignty, the source of emanation of all power in this country and from whom the government of the United States Of America derives it’s just powers by which it may legitimately govern. We are no longer under any obligation from this day forward to recognize the authority of the Congress and the Executive. Any of the ‘laws’ and regulations or Executive Orders they promulgate have no standing.

I am not advocating, at this point, that we take up arms and force the Leftists and their minions and useful idiots out of Washington. I do not believe we have reached that point yet. I am merely stating the fact that we are free, at this point, to disobey any of the ‘laws’ and regulations and Executive Orders they have issued, or will issue in future, with a clear conscience.

I have drafted a set of Resolves that I now place before you for your consideration. Please let me know your thoughts on them specifically and as to whether they are even needed and, if you approve, any changes you would suggest. These Resolves do not advocate we take up arms, but, rather, that we, when possible, as much as we are individually able, resist the tyrants who control the Legislative and Executive Branches of the national government.

THE SOVEREIGN RESOLVES

RESOLVED: The government of the United States Of America in its Legislative and Executive branches is no longer the legitimate government representing the sovereign people of the United States Of America – the consent of the sovereignty is withdrawn. As a result of this fact:

a) Henceforth, all of its laws, orders, and regulations, from this day forward, shall be deemed to have no standing as legitimate because the Legislative and Executive branches no longer derive their just powers from the consent of the governed;

b) Therefore, the sovereignty is under no obligation to obey said laws, orders, and regulations from this day forward;

c) The President Of The United States and those members of the Congress who voted in favor of the health care bill, as signed by the President on 23 March 2010, are declared tyrants, deemed unfit to rule a free people, because of their overthrow of The Constitution Of The United States Of America and the imposition of a lawless regime;

d) Therefore, the sovereignty is permitted to do all Acts and Things which a free people may of right do as necessary to restore legitimate authority to the Executive and Legislative branches of the national government, including, but not limited to:

(1) resisting those laws, orders, and regulations promulgated by the Executive and the Congress from this day forward, in whatever manner, or to whatever extent, is possible,

(2) disrupting the operations of the tyrannical part of the national government, and

(3) undermining the efforts of the Executive and Legislative branches to impose their unconstitutional laws, orders, and regulations on the sovereign citizens of The United States;

RESOLVED: We shall avoid any acts of physical violence in carrying out this set of Resolves, but reserve the right, as it is our right as the sovereignty, to void this provision if necessary in self-defense of our life, liberty, and property against the actions of these tyrants.

RESOLVED: We swear, upon our Sacred Honor, to preserve, protect, and defend The Constitution Of The United States Of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
