Action Alert: We, The People Act

April 6, 2006 -- One of TVC’s primary goals during the next several years is to take back our federal courts from radical leftwing activist judges who have no respect for the Constitution or the laws passed by state legislatures or Congress.These federal judges view the Constitution as a “living document” – meaning they think they have the right to redefine what the Constitution says and what the Founding Fathers meant when they wrote it.

The federal courts, including the Supreme Court, have shown that they are currently incapable of issuing correct rulings based upon a strict interpretation of the Constitution or of the laws that Congress or states pass. Liberal judges impose their own political agendas in their decisions and usurp the power of the American people to govern themselves. Judges have replaced our Republican form of government with a judicial oligarchy—the rule of judges.

To fight against this judicial tyranny, TVC is joining with Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) to secure passage of the “We, The People Act,” (H.R. 4379).

Rep. Paul’s act is simple: It enforces the powers of Congress under Articles 1, Section 8, III, Sections 1-2 of the Constitution to restrict the authority of federal courts (including the Supreme Court) from hearing specific cases. This Article also gives Congress authority to establish, split, or abolish federal courts!

Rep. Paul’s bill will restrict federal courts from hearing cases involving the following subjects:

free exercise or establishment of religion
right to privacy, including sexual practices, orientation or reproduction
right to marry; same-sex marriage

In addition, the We, The People Act restricts federal courts from issuing any orders, final judgments, or other rulings that appropriates or expends money, imposes taxes, or otherwise interferes “with the legislative functions or administrative discretion of the several States and their subdivisions.”

This section was added because federal courts frequently seize control of public school systems or direct legislatures to spend money on projects the judges think are helpful for communities. This directly interferes with local and state self-government.

We urge you to contact your U.S. Representative and ask that he or she support passage of H.R. 4379.

Here’s why this legislation is so important:

The Supreme Court has ruled that sodomy is unconstitutional in all 50 states.
The 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco ruled that the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional because it contained the words “under God” in it.
A federal judge in Nebraska ruled that the marriage amendment to the state constitution was unconstitutional. (States aren’t even permitted to amend their own constitutions without federal interference.)
Federal judges in California and New York have ruled that the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban is unconstitutional.
The 9th Circuit Court recently ruled that parents have no right to protest explicit sex education being taught to their children in public schools.

These are just a few examples of judicial activism and the usurpation of power in our Republic.

TAKE ACTION: You can fight judicial tyranny by doing the following: Read and distribute TVC’s reports on judicial activism in Our Battle Plan web site.

Send an email to your Congressman and ask that he or she support passage of H.R. 4379 to restrict the power of federal courts—and to return to the states the right to pass their own laws without federal interference on such issues as abortion, homosexual marriage, and religious freedom.

We have prewritten an email for you to use in contacting your Representative. You can add your own comments to it.
