Illlegals invasion &
the Seventeenth Amendment

"Take time to deliberate; but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in."
– President Andrew Jackson

The level of anger against the counterfeit U.S. Senators who voted last week to reward criminal activity in their so-called "immigration reform bill" continues to grow. Poltroons like Teddy Chappaquidick Kennedy and John deceptive war hero McCain are still making the talking head shows trying to sell their bogus arguments about illegals and giving them a free pass. None of this is washing with Americans who respect the rule of law and who understand the dire situation on the border: terrorists crossing our borders, thousands of diseased illegals crossing over, the increasing numbers of gangs from South America and the tons of addictive narcotics (heroin and cocaine) and weapons being smuggled across. Let's not forget the staggering number of violent sexual predators coming across the border and now out there trolling for your child: one-year in-depth study, a researcher estimates there are about 240,000 illegal immigrant sex offenders in the United States who have had an average of four victims each." Deborah Schurman-Kauflin of the Violent Crimes Institute

Going hand in hand with traitorous counterfeit senators like McCain, the border states under invasion are saddled with cowardly governors like Janet Napolitano of Arizona. While their state legislature is trying to crack down on this massive human, drug and weapons smuggling, Napolitano can't find her backbone. At the same time, their legislature is stuck with no representation in Washington, DC. If our government were operating legally, the Arizona State Legislature could have recalled "Senator" McCain, fired his backside and replaced him with a real U.S. Senator to go back to DC and stand up for the rights of the State of Arizona.

Please allow me to explain the importance of the Seventeenth Amendment - especially as it relates to the illegals invasion. The courage and wisdom of those who birthed this Republic was nothing short of a magnificent event in the history of the world. When creating the federal government, it was imperative that the colonies (later called states) and the people be represented fairly. The method decided upon was the people would vote for their voice – a representative to serve in the House of Representatives. The states of the Union would each have an equal number of U.S. Senators (fixed at two), appointed by their state legislature to represent the interests of the state. Should that U.S. senator fail in their job, the legislature would recall them and appoint a new one. The decision to have the states appoint their U.S. senators was very calculated.

All of that changed with the fraudulent ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment. 1913 was a treasonous, disastrous year for our republic with the announcement the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified (it clearly was NOT), the announcement that the Seventeenth Amendment was ratified (it clearly was NOT) and passage of the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Act. All in the same year. All necessary for The Destroyers to finally take control of our republic. After the fraudulent Seventeenth Amendment went into effect, U.S. senators were then elected instead of the state legislatures appointing them. The states lost their suffrage rights, they no longer had any representation in Washington, D.C., and the federal machine has walked all over them since. As we can see right now, states like Arizona and California are saddled with 'counterfeit' senators whose political ideology is communism, while they pass themselves off as either Republican or Democrat: McCain in Arizona and the twin evils in California, Boxer and Feinstein.

This issue is one of the most important problems facing this nation today, yet few know anything about it. Last summer, I prepared a working paper for Rep. Henry McElroy of the New Hampshire State Legislature on the history of this amendment and why it is imperative the states step forward and force a constitutional showdown. unfortunately he didn't survive his next election. Please feel to use this paper when going after your state rep and senator. These public servants in the state house will soon realize that it's to their utmost advantage to press this issue and for the sake of our Republic, this challenge must be made to restore the balance between the states and the people. America is not a democracy of mob rule, but that's exactly what has happened with the election of U.S. senators. For those who might knee jerk this would cause constitutional chaos, I can't highly recommend enough Judge Andrew Napolitano's excellent book, "Constitutional Chaos." We're already in constitutional chaos on a hundred issues and the situation will only continue to deteriorate without immediate action.

The Seventeenth Amendment was never properly ratified. I have seen the proof with my own eyes at the National Archives and from the documents obtained by Bill Benson from all 48 state legislatures in his work, "Proof the 17th Amendment Was Not Ratified." I also collected court certified documents on this from the bowels of the California State Archives. They are incontrovertible and prove without question that Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan, on May 31, 1913, knowingly and willfully issued a memo declaring the Seventeenth Amendment ratified even though he knew the required number of states did not ratify it.

The courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have been very specific on the rigid requirements for ratification. There can be no mistake fraud was committed and that every U.S. senator since 1913 sits in office under a law that does not exist. U.S. senators ratify treaties, confirm federal judges, U.S. Supreme Court justices and hold impeachment trials. Legally, our participation in the United Nations, every destructive trade treaty, i.e., NAFTA, GATT, Roe v. Wade and any other legislative acts committed by U.S. senators these past 93 years are invalid.

The courts refuse to touch this issue because they don't have the backbone. While several states have introduced resolutions to nix the Seventeenth Amendment (introduced by patriotic representatives and killed by Republicans in every instance), realistically, there's no question this current crop of Congress will never do the right thing. Therefore, it is up to the people and the States of the Union. One thing that doesn't help the situation is so-called constitutionalists running for the U.S. Senate who refuse to pursue the path of integrity. Over the past decade I have been contacted by many candidates running for the U.S. Senate on 'alternative party' tickets asking for my endorsement and support. When I tell them about the Seventeenth Amendment and the fact that they are running for office under a law that doesn't exist, they don't care and give me all kinds of excuses, i.e., "After I'm elected, I'll bring this out." No. You don't rob a bank and say, "Gee, after I'm done using the money for a good reason, I'll put it back." Are we a nation of laws or lies?

The people must get the proof and begin a systematic assault (non violent, of course) on their state legislatures to appoint two U.S. senators to represent them and send them to Washington, D.C. This will force the issue into a court of law where it should have gone decades ago. Is there any chance this can be accomplished? Not unless hundreds of thousands of Americans climb in the face of their state legislators and those elected public servants do what's right by making this a hot issue in their state house. You have to build a bond fire, just like The Minutemen have done on the illegals invasion and the Seventeenth Amendment IS critically important.

Let me give you an example of what happens when there isn't mass publicity to get a bill passed. Our hopes were recently dashed by the cowardice of senators in the New Hampshire State Senate who killed HB 1592 to stop the draconian 'National ID. While America goes to Hell, the New Hampshire state senators put this critical bill into a study committee! In March, the House side of the New Hampshire General Court overwhelmingly passed it because they fully understand what this Nazi style "National ID" is really all about. New Hampshire is the only state left with an honest ballot box. It would be fabulous if the people booted out every state senator who voted the wrong way on the National ID issue in the next election. Of course, without a massive public campaign throughout the state to get those good folks to understand just what these senators did, chances are these turn coat senators won't be held accountable.

Without question this is a Herculean task, but it can be done - especially if it's a small state like Idaho, Montana or Iowa. The one thing it would take is massive public saturation on the fraud of the Seventeenth Amendment and why it's imperative the states step up to the plate and regain their rightful power. It is my personal opinion that right along with the illegals invasion, these unconstitutional wars and the building of a massive police state, exposing the fraud of the Seventeenth Amendment is of paramount importance. Make a commitment to oust any state legislator or senator who refuses to undertake this fight. I know a lot of folks are strapped for money, but if you can, get Bill Benson's Proof the Seventeenth Amendment Was Never Ratified by sending him $20.00 (includes postage) to: Bill Benson, P.O. Box 550, South Holland, Illinois 60473. I have given a dozen copies to state legislators over the years, but due to lack of massive heat by the people, not a single state has taken the courageous step to get back their rights. The result is the states are being bankrupted by the illegals invasion and they're sticking you with the bill in higher taxes. It will only get a far, far worse if the House of Representatives "compromises" and gives the U.S. Senate what they want: amnesty and legalizing criminal behavior for some 15 MILLION illegals and that will be just the beginning of the flood gates opening.

The American people have to get out to these town hall meetings and get in the face of your state legislators on the stump for reelection. Candidates for the state legislatures need to make this a top issue. If you serve in a state legislature and want to see your state get back its rightful power, you have to spend the money to conduct a massive public relations campaign in your district to shove this in the people's face in a way they will embrace it and demand the situation be corrected. There is a mass awakening going on from border to border, coast to coast, but we need to get everyone on the same page of constitutional government.

The destiny of this Republic lies in the hands of we the people. Time grows short.
