Introduction 


You are an American. Therefore, if you aren't happy with government, the people who 
run it or their political parties, you can kick them to the curb. You'd never know it the 
way things are going, but then we have elected leaders protected by parties who have 
more than 150 years of experience collecting huge stacks of cash for serving themselves. 
They will promise us everything we want to hear as long as it buys them more votes, 
more time, more money and more power. 


Our Constitution was structured to begin with a Bill of Rights which means it starts with 
protecting us, every day Americans, then it follows up with establishing strict rules for 
how the government shall serve us. Things have changed because they certainly do not 
serve us. Things have changed because most people in government don't know or care 
what is in the Constitution. Things have changed because the 2 parties that have a 
stranglehold on our political system are more concerned with their own power and 
finances than restoring our nation. 


We have said we want our Constitution back. Now we will see to it ourselves. 
We have said the corruption that has undermined our Constitution and crippled our great 
nation must be stopped. Now we will stop it. 
We have said the old major parties no longer serve us. We will not serve them. 


After many decades of slipping into socialism some people are still trying to figure out 
why our nation is showing signs of decline and decay. 
Now our economy is in seriously poor condition and many people are watching politics 
for the first time in their lives. Others are still doing just fine so they look the other way 
and chug along with business as usual content to wait for the cyclical ebb and flow of 
politics to make it all better again. 


Many of us are wide awake and refuse to be fooled. We understand our political system 
is now corrupted by self-serving politicians and renegade political parties who put on a 
show of a representative government while serving the best interests of themselves and 
the big money powers that keep them in power and manage from behind the scenes. 
We have been sold out. Period. 


4 



Citizens who understand history, our Constitution and the political games of our two 
party government have been crying foul for a long time. We knew the economy was 
destined to turn sour and we said as much all along. We knew we were losing trade to 
other nations and our jobs were being killed off. We knew burdensome taxes, excessive 
regulations, federal meddling and rampant overspending could only produce bad results. 
We knew that corrupt career politicians who serve themselves and those in their funding 
streams were engaged in a style of crony-ism which left the best interests of the nation 
unattended. The fate of our nation was a foregone conclusion as the cancer of corruption 
became more widespread and those of us who complained were ignored by leaders. 


People now ask what went wrong with the economy, our spending, our food and fuel 
prices, our immigration policies and all the good paying jobs that have suddenly 
vanished. These problems, as well as a multitude of others, are the symptoms of our 
national cancer. Unavoidable consequences of corruption and the poor leadership 
exercised by those who become wealthy while driving America over a cliff. 


Citizens are upset, worried for themselves or the future of their nation, children and 
grandchildren. College graduates are completing their studies buried in loans and not 
finding the opportunities they need to repay the loans, launch their dreams and build 
their futures. Those who have not paid close attention now want the economy fixed. 
They demand that the jobs be brought back. They complain about the symptoms that 
affect them personally but there will be no cures for any of us until the cancer of 
corruption which keeps churning out symptoms is removed. 


There are those among us who saw this coming. We always knew the corruption which 
was eroding our Constitution could only bring decline. We knew as all level of 
government drifted farther beyond constitutional constraints the power they stole could 
only bring us harm. We did not become anti-government, we are anti-corruption. 


It is now far past the wise time to halt our decline. Waiting is not acceptable because the 
corruption grows, feeding on itself and the damage is spreading at an increasingly rapid 
rate. We will no longer be pacified with minor repairs for some damage done, we want 
our nation back. 
We want our Constitution back. All of it. 
We want the restoration of our nation as a land of Rights and freedoms guided by the 
legal and just constitutional principles we have every Right to demand. 


We are the Restorers

“A problem clearly stated is a problem halfway solved”..... Benjamin Franklin 

Section 1 

Rise of the The Restorers 

Before we can restore this nation we must have a firm grasp of the true situation today. 
Before we can start on a plan we must first know who will actually help us and what 
must be done. We must focus on eliminating the cause of our problems. The cancer that 
is eating away at the United States is corruption and we must begin by removing it, then 
we can get around to treating the symptoms. Everything we knew just a short time ago 
has changed. The future will be owned and commanded by those who figure this out 
now and act at the right time with the right plan. 

Two questions help to locate the problem and the solution. 

1. Would we be in such a sorry condition if we had elected leaders who did their jobs 
preventing disaster instead of bowing to the lures of donated dollars and serving their 
own self interests? 
2. Is there anything patriotic about allowing corrupt or dangerous politicians to remain in 
office while damaging our nation either by deliberate intent or incompetence? 
Search your heart for the answers to both of those questions. 
If you answered “No” to both questions, you are probably a Restorer. 
Two types of people want to repair our nation and restore Constitutional principles while 
removing corruption. Some mean well but will accomplish nothing. They still think like 
the old style, business as usual conservatives who are willing to grumble but also willing 
to wait on decades of crooked elections to fix things. These people still think like 
Patriots of 30 years ago. They believe slowly educating the public and electing a few 
more good people will save us. That is the strategy they went to work with. They 
sounded right way back then but today is 30 years of failures later. They must now admit 
that relying on honest elections in a corrupt system has failed. Educating the masses 
when so many resist it or are blinded by apathy will never happen. Old style 
conservative tactics failed to halt the progress of socialism and the damage is now 
everywhere. To expect these same tactics to defeat what they could not even prevent is 
absurd. 

6 



Now we have the Restorers. These are the people who realize our troubles go much 
deeper than a lack of jobs or poor economy. They understand our troubles are symptoms 
of what is happening within the process of government. Restorers understand we face a 
multitude of damaging attacks on all aspects of traditional life, values and principles in 
America. 

Section 2 

American Pain-More Than a Bad Economy 

Our nation is being undermined and destroyed from within and it will not change by 
electing a President or a few Congressmen who know how to run an economy. The 
destruction of America is managed at every level of our society. From school 
superintendents and education “experts” who ignore our history and fill our kids heads 
with feel good nonsense and socialist ideologies to the U.S Dept. of Education that feeds 
this lunacy from the top down. From the city halls and county commissioners who hit us 
with stacks of regulations, burdensome permits, fees and inspections which strangle our 
businesses as they waste the tax monies they keep demanding more of. The court 
systems at every level too often rule to further social agendas instead of focusing on 
constitutional justice which preserves fairness, reason and traditional American values. 
We see free expression of our Christian religions suppressed at every turn while other 
religions, incompatible with our way of life, are protected and supported. 

State governments have begun to mimic the federal government as they seek to grow 
and increase their powers. They have finagled their way into every aspect of our 
business and personal lives. They believe it is our duty to replace the money they freely 
waste and when citizens try to rein in overspending, governments lash out in reply by 
taking away emergency workers or teachers instead of cutting fluff and waste. They 
always protect the fat and cut away the meat. They try to hurt us so we give up and 
allow them to keep overcharging us so they can keep on overspending. 

The courts and justice system is in a class of disarray all it's own. Many courts are 
corrupt socialist bastions and no one in Congress either knows or cares it is their duty to 
keep these courts in line. Justice is for those who can afford it and if you are very 
wealthy, famous, a member of Congress or the political elite, justice is whatever you say 
it is. The courts obviously favor those groups while turning the thumbscrews of power 
loose without mercy upon those everyday citizens and businesses who are unfortunate 
enough to be drawn into their web. 

7 



What can we say about our federal government? An absolute rats nest of corruption from 
the career congressmen to presidential appointees, mysterious czars, lifelong bureaucrats 
buried in the bowels of the beast and department officials who love nothing more than 
testing and expanding the limits of their power over us. All serve us with life changing 
laws, rules and regulations with inadequate representation or a fair chance to weigh 
citizen input against the interests of the big money sources government caters to. 

Corruption within our federal government is so widespread and well known it is 
frequently the target of jokes from comedians, media stars and even late night 
entertainers. It is accepted as a part of our current culture. This must change. A bad 
economy is a result of corruption, not the cancer but a symptom. We must treat the 
cancer of corruption or the economy and other symptoms will never be cured. 

Section 3 

Restorers- Our New American Founders 

The Restorers. These are people of all ages and backgrounds who love this nation as 
much as the old style conservatives but are genuinely wide awake now and realize 
crooked elections and a process that allows corrupt officials to serve out lengthy terms 
won't ever save us. Restorers want the bad leaders gone before they can complete our 
ruin. When you hear these people say they are awake now, you can believe them. 

Desperate times require desperate measures, so be it. Old leaders are slow to change but 
many among us see the need for changes and know that new strategies are needed. It is 
time to meet new challenges with an equally updated attitude and effective leaders who 
are prepared to do what must be done. Adapt to the challenges you face or lose. 
Restorers look at 30 years of losses and say it is time for some real wins. Restorers don't 
accept that we must keep corrupt officials until they are voted out. We want them gone. 
Now. 

We believe the people who swore an oath to serve this nation under constitutional law 
must be held immediately accountable when they violate that oath. Let's be honest, an 
oath that is never enforced is just words. An oath is intended to establish a sacred trust, a 
promise. We have every right to punish those who violate the trust they swear to us. We 
do so with our children and our fellow man, why not the leaders who run our nation? If 
we truly have a government of the People, by the People, for the People, and elected 
officials who serve at consent of the governed, why do we have a Congress with an 8% 
approval rating? Why do so many violate their oaths yet remain when most of us want 
them gone? 

8 



Restorers seek to change this and other situations that old style conservatism has failed 
to address or correct. Restorers are the only people pursuing a realistic strategy toward 
saving this nation for future generations and restoring constitutional law in our bloated 
and corrupted government. Who else is demanding we have a corruption free DC right 
now? 

Our great conservative, Ronald Reagan, was the right man for the time he served. That 
was a long time ago. His leadership was tailored to address the issues before him and he 
was unquestionably a man of his time. Today, 30 years later, would he still be a 1980's 
style conservative or would he be a Restorer? The inexorable march of time has 
delivered a new set of circumstances, new opponents and a different world than the fat, 
sleepy days of the 1980's. Today requires a new set of solutions. Restorers see this and 
understand it. Old style conservatives keep applying the same old 1980's tactics to 
today's issues and wonder why they are losing our country. Albert Einstein once said the 
definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different 
results. 

For the past several decades anyone who wants a smaller government, more freedoms 
and sensible stewardship of our tax dollars were all lumped together as conservatives. 
Their opposition began as just basic liberal Democrats. At one time there were even 
many conservative Democrats running loose and free to speak their minds among other 
Democrats. That has become a thing of the past. They are not welcome within the 
Democrat Party of today. It is very hard to find a conservative Democrat anymore and 
the rest are obviously divided between the old style liberals and the newer version, the 
out-of-the- closet raging socialist Democrats who now enjoy an absolute stranglehold of 
mysteriously financed power in the front ranks of that party. 

I was raised by Republicans but was taught that Democrats were not bad people, they 
just had a different way of looking at things. People from both camps could often get 
together and discuss their differences yet walk away with no rude comment or anger. 
They all intended to support the best interests of our nation and were civil about 
differences of opinion. All of my southern relatives were Democrats but nothing like 
those of today. Many of them were military veterans raising kids who also joined the 
service. They hunted, they fished, they shot guns for fun, they rode dirt bikes in the 
woods and they attended church regularly. That lifestyle would get you kicked out of a 
Democrat potluck dinner today. 

9 



As the socialists began to creep into the mix everything changed. I know a lot of lifelong 
Democrats whom are absolutely jaded against politics after watching the changes in 
their party. Liberalism they could relate to, tax a bit more and spread it around some. 
That was the bait but what came from it was more than some voters bargained for. 
Patriotic Democrats never signed up to watch the nation be destroyed and they want the 
corruption ended as much as anyone else does. There are true Restorers among some 
Democrats who do not believe the destruction of our nation is a good thing. Restorers 
are not party hacks and they are not content with what they see from either major party. 
At this moment, they have no party. Yet. 

The conservative Republicans have developed a similar division due to all that has come 
about. The rise and successes of the raging socialists has been matched by an updated 
version of conservatives that naturally comprehend the only way to defeat this new 
opposition is to grab the bull by the horns, dig in and refuse to accept the daily 
destruction of America. This updated group wants to exercise our Right to do what is 
needed to re-establish a Constitutional Republic free of the rampant corruption and 
greed that has become the norm in many levels of government, especially in Washington 

D.C. These people are appearing in greater numbers and their attitude is contagious. 
They are the Restorers. The next generation of patriotism. The People of “No Current 
Party.” If you love this nation and have no confidence that our elected leaders, career 
politicians and party hacks will save us on their own, you are one of us. Some are old 
style Democrats, some are old style Republicans, many have called themselves 
Independents for a long time now. All are Patriots who are far beyond being sick and 
incensed over the nonsense that rules this nation today. The Restorers are the people you 
hear today saying that since we know the corruption is there today we demand the most 
corrupt go NOW and others right behind them. Restorers do not fall for any excuses that 
allow officials causing deliberate and often illegal damage to complete long and 
damaging careers. Congressmen are not even tossed out for committing flagrant crimes 
we would be imprisoned for. If this is truly the People's government then why is it 
overrun with corrupt leaders we want out? There is no valid excuse for allowing the 
corrupt or incompetent to remain in power at our expense.

Section 4 

Old Style Conservatism-Failed Logic 

Restorers want the nation and government restored to the original intent and rule of law 
at once so we can actually begin repairing all the damage that has been done. Restorers 
used to be routine conservatives in both parties but when they said, “Don't Tread On 
Me,” they meant it. Now they are ready to back up their talk. There are many ways to do 
so without grabbing muskets. More old style conservatives need to be aware of the 
difference and join with those who actually have ideas that are up to date, patriotic and 
realistic. They should become Restorers so we can finally stop worrying and wondering 
if we can ever make a difference and finally do something that will bring changes. Old 
style conservatives (OSC's) need to break the habit of tolerating corruption and counting 
on fraudulent elections to dig us out of this hole. OSC's need to realize there is a 
difference between being good citizens and tolerating corruption. No real American 
tolerates corruption. Until they wake up and realize we are running out of time and need 
a new strategy, Restorers will have to be the saviors of the future without the OSC's. 

Watch our Restorers. They are finding like minded people and they are looking for 
more. Restorers are active. Some leaders are deliberately harming our nation and must 
be forced out without any more waiting, Restorers are ready to do it. We all wake up 
every day with a sense of foreboding wondering what the bad news of the day will be. 
As the Restorers move ahead you will find yourself waking up with a new brand of 
optimism as you watch the new strength of patriotic change gain ground. Just imagine 
the morale boost the people and businesses of this country would get after seeing the 
first few of the worst, most corrupt leaders removed. It would be like a national breath of 
fresh air. 

The first and most obvious difference between old style conservatives and Restorers is 
shown in the attention to distractions and how this keeps traditional conservatives 
reeling from damage and in permanent reaction mode. As the OSC's are led from topic 
to topic, issue to issue by headlines and the daily news cycles, Restorers look at the daily 
news cycles and say, “Ok, I heard it, now why are we waiting to run the crooks out of 
government? Why wait at all?” Yet, wait we do and it's not because people are not 
aware, it is because they focus more on the daily news of destruction than getting around 
to doing something about it. OSC's have been misled into living with corruption as a 
part of daily life and now that fact is killing our nation. 

11 



Old style conservatism was developed before the age of the internet and 24/7 instant 
news cycles. The failed strategy of tolerating illegal acts in hopes of replacing the 
offenders in the next election was never well thought out and today it is a proven failure. 
Now that we have the internet and so many types of media news available. old style 
conservatives have become bogged down in discussion and discovery of corruption and 
they do not delegate time for figuring out new ways of defeating it. Restorers are those 
who can follow the daily news and still focus on the need to remove bad leaders before 
they destroy us. 

I was raised by Conservatives, original conservatives whose thoughts addressed the 
issues of their day and the future realistically. Unfortunately, in those days it was very 
common to be told it was impolite to discuss religion or politics at social gatherings. 
Where did that logic come from? It was a conservative philosophy but the origin of it is 
a mystery to me. To this day it is quite obvious that most conservatives still adhere to 
this tenet. They go quietly about their daily lives doing everything good productive, 
responsible citizens do but they do not speak out enough. Their entire act of political 
activism is to dutifully vote when the polls open. Once or twice, a few times a year some 
of them will attend a rally or various meetings somewhere among like minded people 
but the list of accomplishments is small compared to the progress of those they struggle 
against. Many of those who are becoming increasingly active have yet to learn that we 
cannot save America through the process of occasional elections. They are still buying 
into the old style conservatism. 

There are still far too many citizens who are upset but do not make their elected officials 
hear about it. It is reported that fewer than 4% of all people ever contact a Congressmen 
by any method. Among the Restorers you will find that more than 70 % have done so, or 
at least tried. That is a dramatic difference which clearly shows a separation of thoughts 
on activism. The Restorers walk the talk, and they stay at it. They do not go home 
waiting for the next organized event or election, they are on the job contacting the 
media, Congressmen and rallying others to the cause every single day. 

Up until now I doubt that many Restorers have thought about not being the same as all 
others who label themselves as conservative. They are not. This is evidenced by the fact 
that there are liberal Restorers who are equally determined to clean up our system. I 
know they are all experiencing a high level of frustration and they get it from seeing 
crooks get away with their deeds while the people lose their lifestyles. Liberals that 

12 



sympathize with Restorers tend to blame big banks and businesses for our woes but that 
limits our solutions to the financial sector and the damage is much deeper than that. 
They need to consider that the problems we do have with some banks and businesses 
should have been handled by the Congress and other leaders we pay to run our nation in 
our best interests. 

Restorers cannot be pigeonholed into the old convenient and familiar established groups, 
they are a product of our times, our new reality. They are honest voters from all parties 
and all walks of life that refuse to tolerate the widespread and painfully obvious cronyism, 
shenanigans, corruption and gamesmanship. This is not merely about picking a 
party or candidate, we are not about merely settling the election issues. We are 
singularly focused on acting like real Americans and dumping horrible leaders and the 
funding networks they cater to. We must start that discussion and we must recruit 
Restorers from among those in the old conservative ranks who are tired of suffering 
defeat after defeat. We must recruit from the old liberals that agree socialism and 
corruption are not American principles. The ship of patriotism has been bailing water out 
of the bottom for too long now. The Restorer movement is made up of those who refuse 
to stop sailing just to focus on the latest damage. Day after day after day-- ad infinitum. 
The Restorers are the ones who will sink those that keep putting holes in our Glorious 
Ship of State. You cannot win by repairing the damage until you put an end to new 
damage. Occasional damage repair in occasional elections is not victory and never will 
be. 

Restorers can see that the world has changed, the nation has changed, more changes are 
coming and we cannot slowly win the nation back. Thirty years of watching the nation 
slide into liberalism then blast into socialism was a lesson that sank into Restorers. They 
are objective enough to step back and see how much has been lost and wise enough to 
understand you cannot keep repeating the same tactics expecting different results. Old 
style conservatives tend to just lament the losses, object to the changes then start talking 
about winning the next election, that is why they have failed. Old style conservatism, as 
a useful position for the preservation of the United States in a new world has failed and 
should be relegated to the dustbin of history. Old style liberalism is already neutralized 
by the socialists who infiltrated them and took over from the inside. Old style 
conservatism has been neutralized by the corruption of lifelong career politicians and the 
party powers.

Section 5 

The GOP-Experts at Second Place 

Conservatism was a good enough match in the decades long battle against liberalism but 
since liberalism has been overtaken by the socialists within that movement, so 
opposition to them must also shift to confront the new struggle. The only response that 
can succeed is a united effort for Restoration. This is a new day with new foes in a new 
battle, we must adapt or lose, as we are losing now. We have lost enough of America due 
to greed, corruption and leaders who circumvent the Constitution. 

I wish our tensions today were the traditional conservative vs. liberal battles we were 
watching in the past. How things have changed! JFK was more conservative than many 
Republican officials today. The typical liberal voters of the 60's did not approve of 
hippies who identified with communism. They did not blame America for every problem 
other nations create for themselves. There was a saying in those days, “I may not agree 
with what you say but I'll defend your right to say it.” Liberals usually agreed with this. 
Now the socialists who replaced them are stifling free speech by any crooked method 
they can conjure up. Liberals of past decades were not the sort of people who would 
approve of criminal Congressmen keeping their jobs and they would not have approved 
of shady lobbyists with mysterious connections sneaking huge sums into campaigns so 
that money sources carried more weight than the will of voters. They were liberals but 
good people at heart. They weren't aggressive and lawless socialists like we battle today. 

The conservative voters can not be blamed for what has transpired. For the past 30 years 
conservative voters have been asking for the right things and backing candidates that 
promised the right things. The problems developed because leadership (especially in the 
GOP) failed to follow through from the very beginning. Promises were made but when 
the elections were over and won the promises were either forgotten or bargained away in 
the interest of that senseless ideal of “bi-partisanship.” They were never able to 
understand there is no virtue in making deals with those who are dismantling our nation. 
In days gone by it was safe to assume the Republican Party was basically conservative. 
Strong leaders who would fight for their beliefs just never materialized in sufficient 
numbers to win the tough rounds. The lack of courage among elected Republican 
officials is now well documented. Now it is painfully apparent that the Republicans 
cannot be considered a conservative party and yet, most old style conservatives still 

14 



support them. Where else are they to go? They are forced to vote for mediocrity or 
abstain. I don't blame disgruntled Democrats for refusing to switch to the Republican 
Party. Why leave one disappointing party just to join another one? Republican leaders, 
by exhibiting cowardice and a lack of resolve, left the door wide open for socialists to 
emerge in the highest positions of power. The socialists were clever enough to capitalize 
on the weaknesses in Republican opposition once the liberals exposed those weaknesses. 

Every time the old guard conservative Republican leadership won control and had a 
chance to actually flex some political muscle to reverse our course they abandoned their 
base. They shrank from the attacks of liberal opposition and the labels the media always 
trotted out to hammer them with. This same scare tactic worked against most Republican 
conservative leaders every time it was used. Voters watched in amazed frustration and 
even as they offered their steadfast support in the pending battles the deals were made 
and leaders caved. This is still happening today. The Republican Party is top heavy 
with old GOP party hacks and deal makers who have no real vision for immediately 
halting our demise. They have no one that is standing and saying our governmental 
process is so full of greed and corruption on both sides of the aisle that it is completely 
dysfunctional and must be cleaned up and rebooted to end this destruction. That is what 
our Founders would say but no OSC will say it because too many old Republicans must 
go too. Every Restorer is saying it on a daily basis. 

Evidence of the impotence of the OSC/Republican strategy is clear in the case of many 
recent elections, most obvious is the historic Congressional elections of 2010. 
Conservative candidates swept the elections unseating about 1/6th of the Congress. 
Republican leaders in Congress failed to capitalize on that great win. The voters were 
able to defeat the liberals of the Democrat Party but they were beaten back by the old 
guard career GOP hacks that effectively blocked the newly elected Congressmen at 
every move. Voters did their job, they found new candidates and they brought them 
victories. Entrenched GOP power brokers played a substantial role in suppressing the 
effectiveness of the newly elected and therefore the will of the voters. That election was 
driven by the voters desire to battle corruption, overturn Obamacare, clean up the 
fiascoes in Iraq and Afghanistan, stop the borrowing and deficit spending, recognize 
states rights, eliminate the czar positions, effectively address illegal immigration and 
restore Constitutional principles in the federal government. The first year passed without 
a single success on any of those issues. The voters spoke but are not represented. When 
you confront old style conservatives with this truth they make excuses and fall back on 

15 



the 30 year old line of, “Just wait until the next election!” The old guard GOP hacks just 
laugh among themselves and say. “That's right, please keep saying this just like we tell 
you to.” Always waiting for a magical election that never comes while failing to admit a 
near miracle election accomplished not one of our hard fought goals does not save us. 

Why did this happen? How can voters send such a strong message and have it ignored? 
Voter fraud did a lot of it. The Democrat socialists knew the House election was lost. 
They also knew that the Senate elections were very close and that if they won them they 
could use Senate leadership to block everything the new members of the House were 
hired by us to do. It worked too. Voter fraud was committed by socialist union and 
Democrat operatives to circumvent the will of We the People in 2010 and little has been 
done about it. We can expect more in elections to come. It works because old style 
conservative leaders are numb to corruption and not up to the challenges they face from 
this new team of united and inspired socialists. The weak and numbed GOP leadership 
should have cried foul on the Senate election and fought tooth and nail for all the 
changes the voters were demanding. They did not. 

I was watching these proceedings in awe of the brazen arrogance displayed through the 
aftermath of the fraud. Conservatives were mostly silent though a few were grumbling 
and starting to comment, “Wait till next time.” The Restorers were absolutely livid at 
this flagrant abuse of power and crime against our system. Many cried foul, contacted 
Congressional offices and media outlets only to be ignored. I was not surprised, 
conservatives leaders never show spine and fight back, they are so accustomed to being 
outmaneuvered and undermined they take it like just another day at the office. 
Republicans party hacks are great at being in second place. They know how to shrug off 
defeat and explain it away without having to muster up for a stand off. They are afraid of 
the names they will be called in the media. They fear the political ramifications of the 
media outrage if they stand on principle. Restorers do not accept being defeated by 
criminal acts with such a cavalier attitude. That is why their numbers are growing. 
People have had enough. Restorers are people who reject the process of becoming 
conditioned to accepting or explaining away fraudulent losses, corruption and cowardly 
leaders. We don't care what the media calls us, we expect crooked leaders to use dirty 
tactics and name calling to dissuade us. Bring it. We are here to do a job and we will do 
it.

Section 6 

Restorers-Antidote to Destruction 

Our government is so irresponsible and out of control there is no way to stop the 
madness, let alone fix it through periodic elections. We need to fire people, force them 
out and reboot the system. They loot, we reboot. They spend our tax dollars like they are 
found treasure. They allow the Federal Reserve to run amok operating secretly in the 
shadows with money we are forced to cover. Our dollars are spread around and 
manipulated with no Congressional oversight, we have no representation. The Fed loans 
this money to central banks and everyone makes interest on the loans while we lose jobs, 
homes and our lifestyles. The rich get richer, we get skinned alive. 
Their corrupt schemes are our shattered dreams. 

They give huge sums to support companies and financial institutions that created their 
own mess and we get the bill for that too because those businesses are “too big to fail.” 
Any business that is too big to fail is just too big! Obviously they cannot manage 
themselves well. We have several shady but extremely large companies that should be 
broken up and reined in. Don't expect the crooks in Congress who take their campaign 
donations to do it. 

Restorers can win the future because they are moving ahead of the failures of the past 
and the people who failed to prevent those losses. Many baby boomers love the old way, 
it is comfortable, much easier than actually acting to win the future. We cannot maintain 
that comfort zone of accepting corruption and doing nothing to halt it immediately. We 
cannot live a lie that elections will someday just fix it all. We cannot remain comfortable 
while the young who depend upon us lose their futures. We cannot live with wealth or 
security earned in times gone by or borrowed from the future protecting us from the 
mess that evolved on our watch. That is why increasing numbers of Restorers are 
emerging from among our politically astute younger people. They cannot live in the past 
they've not experienced. They grew up and developed the political awareness that much 
had already been lost. They missed the gold and grew up watching the looting frenzy. As 
more Patriots come to see the challenges to old style conservative thinking that fuels the 
Restorers choices will have to be made. Stay in the past and lose or become a Restorer 
and actually give the nation a fighting chance at restoration of American principles and 
true Constitutional government. 

17 



When you hear people identify themselves as a conservative your warning bells better 
start ringing. Are they an old style conservative or a Restorer? Right there you can see 
you may be dealing with someone who is still on board with failed tactics and has no 
intention of acting like the Founders would by shutting this mess down if necessary until 
the clean up actually begins. Ask them if they are a conservative Restorer or just 
grumbling old style conservatives that will watch the nation be lost. They mean well but 
are now conditioned to settle for no results. They still believe we are battling liberals or 
Democrats. They should pay more attention to the huge percentage of Republicans that 
are also useless or corrupt. While always eager to chest thump over moral victories or 
crumbs from the table of change, they watch as their nation is lost and they never change 
their tactics. They were once the force behind Republican Party and most still vote 
that way but that party has abandoned those who truly desire to see the hard choices 
made to restore the nation. 

The Restorers have emerged from the brand of patriotism demonstrated by our Founders 
and our numbers are growing. While old style conservatives sincerely respect and adore 
the Founders for their willingness to risk life, wealth and position to stand when needed, 
you will find most of them unwilling to do the same. How many will risk so much as a 
late car payment to help this nation? Restorers rise above that, they are not willing to 
accept corruption just because today isn't election day. That is the primary difference 
between Restorers and old style conservatives. Conservatives wallow in analysis 
paralysis and bemoan the daily losses. Restorers demand an end to daily losses. The Tea 
Party movement is made up of both, that is why they have experienced limited results; 
the OSC's among them inhibit the momentum of the Restorers in their ranks. Too many 
of them are willing to accept corruption in between elections. They see voting as the 
only real power the citizens have. 

America has already changed and must experience more changes. It is time to act to 
make sure that when the change is complete, a free America as a Constitutional Republic 
is what remains. Free of corruption and oppression. A Corruption Free DC. Yes, we can 
save this nation but first we have to overcome the daily distractions and focus on getting 
resignations from the crooks in DC. That is a tall order but must be done. Our mess is no 
accident and is caused only by bad leadership, corruption and greed. Leaders with those 
flaws do not fix themselves. That is our job. 

Restorers believe that we allowed this mess to occur, it is our duty to correct it now, in 

18 



our time instead of being irresponsible stewards of our nations future and kicking our 
problems down the road to those who will follow us. Any Patriot who fails to consider 
how their action, or lack of action, will affect those who must follow them is no Patriot! 

Restorers believe citizens have a right to do what is necessary to force the resignations 
of corrupt officials by any peaceful means the circumstances demand. We are supposed 
to own and control this nation, not a pack of elected officials with self-serving interests. 
When it is established that leaders are so wrong they damage us, that is the time to 
remove them. Waiting can only bring us more damage. Some old style conservatives just 
have not considered updating tactics to fit the times. I believe many others are actually 
afraid of doing anything different after 30 years of the same old idea. Old style 
conservatism cannot be justified as a useful approach to today's problems by any rational 
argument, it simply hangs on by habit. It was tried, it failed. It is troubling to see how 
some are so determined to cling to it they try to hide behind the Constitution. The ones 
who are too cowardly to act eagerly insist that the Constitution does not give voters the 
power to demand resignations. They fail to realize it does not bar us from demanding 
resignations either. No law does. Dictatorships rise when people do nothing. Freedom 
must always be won and no statues have ever been erected to those who hide behind 
excuses. 

Several people have told me a sitting official can only be removed by impeachment 
proceedings. Wrong again, that is the only avenue for removal available through 
Congress. We are not asking Congress to remove them, Congress is too corrupt to police 
it's own. We are Americans! The citizens are free to use any peaceful means necessary 
and if the Founders believed otherwise they would have included definite restrictions on 
the ability of citizens to act. They did not do that and it is obvious why they didn't. 
Never fall for the falsehood that demanding resignations is unconstitutional, it is not 
even mentioned. Nothing is more unpatriotic than using the Constitution as an excuse 
for accepting tyranny and corruption. Our Constitution is not a suicide pact to be 
wielded to enable our destruction. It is absolutely absurd to argue that our Founding 
Fathers would rather see us become subjects of a socialist government filled with 
corruption than act like Patriots and demand they resign. 

Benjamin Franklin once said they had given us a Republic, if we could keep it. He knew 
attempts would be made to supplant what they devised for us and he knew we might fail 

19 



to overcome those attempts. If we keep it, if the Constitution is restored and corruption 
removed from Washington DC before they destroy us, it will be because the Restorers 
have succeeded. No one else is trying.

The Reckoning 


Section 1 

All that we see and know is wrong, all the corruption and political games are taking us 
somewhere. That is inevitable. All of the events playing out in our neighborhoods, our 
nation and the world are products of a world coming to grasp with a new age. It must 
become a new age for us because the waste and irresponsible self absorption of the past 
60 years was a playtime that needed to end. History has proven that when nations enjoy 
phenomenal success they blow it by becoming decadent free spenders who are incapable 
of reproducing the national treasures they deplete. This goes beyond immorality and 
includes lifestyles of luxury, leisure and self-indulgence. This myopic social condition is 
always accompanied by apathy and the corruption of power simply because not enough 
citizens realize the risks or care. As long as they are fat and happy, let the problems of 
the nation be handled by others. Our nation is not the first to go through this and the 
European nations that are dealing with the same have all been there before. It seems like 
people never catch on in time. Will we? 

All that is happening has us in a bad place with only tough solutions. Tough solutions 
are nothing compared to the possibilities if we fail to find solutions. If allowed to play 
out unhindered, the events of today will culminate in a global series of meltdowns and 
disasters that will make all the troubles in history look like practice games. In this 
experimental age of globalization no nation can maintain their current level of lifestyle 
without reliable international trade. That trade relies on a precarious and vulnerable 
network of shipping, finance and infrastructure systems that will all be jeopardized if the 
dominoes of stability continue to fall. What then? This is more than trinkets and cheap 
toys we're talking about. Our food, fuels and ingredients of many medicines are 
imported. Our society lives on uninterrupted trade, literally. Life in our United States 
could become very difficult if we are not able to maintain our current levels of 
international trade or produce more of what we need on our own. 

Some say we face financial catastrophe, riots in the streets, food shortages, expanding 
world wars or some combination of all. We would be better off if it were so simple. 
Those scenarios would still leave some people untouched. What we are witnessing is 
decades of mistakes all coming to a boiling point at once. Corruption and horribly poor 
leadership, combined with comfort driven apathy of the citizens has produced 
unavoidable consequences. Like a thousand subterranean flows of magma streaming 

21 



together we are now seeing the pressure build, waiting and wondering. When will it 
blow? When does this volcano of mankind's mistakes thunder forth as a raging force 
enveloping every corner of the globe? 

Section 2 

If The Damage Does Not End..... 

We face a Reckoning. A forcible accounting to confront us with the results for all we 
have done and all we have failed to do. There is a price to be paid for every mistake a 
society makes and ours are all coming due at once. We are not in a position to determine 
the terms of a settlement, we will just be along for the ride. Should this volcano be 
allowed to blow it will not burn out with a series of events one can be isolated from. A 
Reckoning would be followed with a period of retribution. Retribution in the form of 
simultaneous events feeding off each other and growing in scope until all we take for 
granted is gone and our way of living is reduced to acquiring basic needs. 
A Reckoning is more than a disaster or events you can isolate yourself from. You will 
not escape it. A Reckoning would be a worldwide period of tragedies resetting the world 
for a future beyond the current mistakes of mankind. The only way to escape a 
Reckoning is to prevent it. 

The United States cannot save or police the world and we should stop trying until we 
prove we can save ourselves. By doing so we could provide an example for the rest of 
the world to follow as we have done so many times in the past. This would be an 
incredible feat to accomplish but it was not long ago we assumed America was capable 
of incredible accomplishments. We still have the American Spirit and the people we 
need, we just lack both in government. We can avoid a Reckoning if we will swallow 
some bitter pills now to avoid the cyanide tablet continued waiting will bring. Those are 
the choices. We can avoid a Reckoning when the Restorers among us begin working 
together on every level to defeat those who are destroying us on every level. 

Optimism is an honorable companion to Patriotism but it must be rooted in something. It 
is not enough to base our optimism on what other Americans have done in the past. It is 
good to be proud of Americans in our past who rose to the occasion and overcame the 
challenges of their day. It is not good if we become reverent experts on what they did 

22 



while failing to rise to our challenges in our day. We have to look at our own challenges 
and assess those we rely upon to guide us. I'm not seeing anything there that inspires 
optimism. We need to fire an awful lot of people and we'd better do it very soon. The 
tough love, butt kicking solutions required for avoiding larger problems are far beyond 
the courage and political will of the elected career officials we are now paying. The 
persistent citizen attitude of “Oh well, they won the election, I guess we just have to sit 
here while they destroy us” is completely un-American. We don't accept destruction, we 
fire the destroyers. Why is this not on the to-do list of everyone that knows what the 
American Spirit is? Optimism. Yes, I am optimistic in the sense that I know if we can 
force enough dangerous leaders out very soon we have a very good chance of restoring 
this nation. That is the only way. The Restorers and the true American Spirit that lives 
within them offer the only hope of avoiding the cliff our leaders seem determined to 
herd us over. 

We've already let things go too far, that is why no solution will be pretty. The bitter pills 
mentioned earlier will not go down easy and every attempt to correct this mess now will 
meet fierce opposition. Consider the petroleum issue, any attempt to begin extensive 
increases in production will bring the eco-terrorists out acting up and creating real 
problems. Any serious attempt to dramatically reduce the size of our bloated city, state 
and federal governments will bring the labor thugs out marching around and getting 
belligerent. No attempt to harness the Federal Reserve and huge banks will ever wend 
it's way through the corrupt Congress that has grown fat while enabling those bankers. 
Try to reduce benefits for the generational social dependents and large areas of our cities 
will very likely burn. Try to get serious about border security and you will find the 
illegals can produce their own mobs. 

Several Cabinet level federal departments need to be completely eliminated and 
hundreds of smaller ones should be consolidated or shut down. Do that and all of the 
spoiled employees and those who share the loot with them will definitely respond in a 
most unfriendly fashion. This list could stretch on to become its own chapter but the 
point is made. We've already let things go too far and no real combination of solutions 
will be easy to implement. The waste, fraud and corruption is benefiting large numbers 
of bad characters. They have a good thing going and will not just sit and behave while 
corrections are made. Yet, make them we must. We must make the corrections and do 
the right things, let the chips fall where they may. We will be forced to deal with 
something, let that something be a chance at a new beginning for our nation as the 
Constitutional Republic which is our birthright. 

23 



Who will stand boldly and say we will avoid the Reckoning by being strong and smart 
now? Someone has got to be the grownup in the room. That job is the sole dominion of 
the Restorers. We do the tough things now that are ugly but manageable or we wait for a 
chaotic Reckoning no one can manage. The socialists drive our demise while the liberals 
live in denial. Old style conservatives admit they will keep waiting on elections and do 
nothing until it is too late so the Restorers are the only hope this nation has for a future 
as a Constitutional Republic. 

Section 3 

Corruption: The Root of Our Evil 

Our federal government is now so corrupt, so entangled with the forces of the banking 
powers, multi-national business interests, labor unions and special interests groups it has 
become completely dysfunctional. They can barely pass a bad bill and good ones 
seldom make it past committee squabbles. A lot of our state and city governments are as 
bad on a smaller scale. Locally, people will have to decide if changes are possible or if 
the best solution is to move, taking their families and tax dollars to a place that makes 
more sense. Such places are not easy to find but we still have them. There are so many 
negative groups and forces attacking us from within, relying our current group of leaders 
to stop it is like swatting clouds of mosquitoes with a coat hanger. You can fight until 
you drop and you still wind up being bled dry. Waiting for more elections is like 
grabbing a second coat hanger. Only the People, acting as determined Restorers can save 
us from where our leaders have led. Only the People can fix the big picture but the 
entrenched career politicians and their corrupt network of cronies must be forced out 
first. They must be removed and their dirty network of funding for favors must be 
dismantled. 

The widespread corruption causing our current decline must be attacked immediately, it 
must be purged before we can even begin making repairs. You do not cure the symptoms 
without first destroying the cancer. The United States flourished as a Constitutional 
Republic but as we strayed the decline began to metastasize. Every critical danger we 
now face is due to one of two things, incompetence or corruption of too many elected 
officials. Incompetence is at least traceable to a natural lack of ability but the corruption 
enables the inept to remain on the job. Corruption in the money trails and the dirty 
shenanigans of the political party machines keep people in government when they would 
be fired for stupidity by any other employer. 

24 



We cannot avoid a Reckoning unless we immediately demand, and then force, the 
resignations of our most corrupt officials. We must start with the most egregious 
violators and work our way down using each success to send shockwaves through the 
system. We must serve notice to those who are convinced Restorers will not organize or 
will never act. The army of corruption that old style conservatism was not able to 
prevent needs to know there is a new force to be dealt with. That force is the Restorers 
and they are not rising from the ranks of a single party but from all parties and all levels 
of society. We are simply citizens who refuse to sit by while our nation is destroyed and 
we realize the current parties will never help us in time. 

We know a Reckoning is near and we seek to avoid it. 

We are uniting and we are going to fight to clean up the rat nests with focused 
determination. We don't treat the symptoms, we want to surgically remove the cancer of 
corruption. We have the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution on our side. 
They have nothing but crooked money, the parties and a tactic of using the old style 
conservatives faith in crooked elections keeping them there. The business as usual 
conservatives, Democrat and Republican alike, will do nothing as rule breakers steal 
their nation. They will stumble on to the next election like lemmings headed to their 
fate. This has to change before the lemmings reach the cliff. 

The American Spirit was born and nursed by those who refuse to sit by and accept a bad 
fate. Restorers, us people of today, of the time that will define us, still hold alive the 
beautiful intrinsic spark that created this national spirit and we have a duty. We must 
behave as true Americans and cast off tyranny before the full measure of consequences 
is upon us. It means nothing to honor those who have done this in their day if we fail to 
act as we should when it is our turn.

Section 4 

America: Done it Before--We'll Do It Again 

A Reckoning cannot be taken lightly. I tire of hearing that we have survived past 
depressions, we can survive another. That comment shows an ignorance of history. It is 
better to stand strong and prevent such a thing. I tire of hearing we won 2 World Wars 
and can win another. Again, prevention is the only sensible action. I tire of hearing that 
we are America and somehow, someway everything will be fine, it always is. All of 
these assertions have been correct in the past but today is not 1917, the 30's or 40's. Our 
nation and the world that surrounds us are nothing like they were in the days of our great 
successes and rise to wealth and status as the great superpower. 

It is true that as a nation we survived to prosper following the Great Depression and the 
many smaller ones that preceded it. It is also true that many families and individuals did 
not. During those terrible years many lost everything and never did recover. Middle aged 
and elderly citizens who saw their life's work destroyed and not recovered were 
everywhere. They died in poverty after a life of struggle through no fault of their own. 
The global financial meltdown of a Reckoning will bring a similar fate to many, are you 
willing to risk you or your family being among them? 

Yes, we won our World Wars, but how? We were at the cutting edge of all technologies 
and we had access to all of our natural resources like food, ores and fuel. We had leaders 
who were capable of making tough decisions when the chips were down. We had leaders 
who wanted our armies strong and well armed. Today there is a real risk of a new World 
War and our leaders are demoralizing our troops and their families while systematically 
reducing our arsenals, mothballing hundreds of Air Force fighter jets and trimming the 
size and power of our navy. A different attitude prevailed prior to wars of our past. 

Yes, we won those wars and survived to prosper but millions of dead, wounded or 
crippled soldiers did not. Millions of family members carried the pain of tragic losses to 
their graves. Winning does not mean the absence of losses and winning a war is never 
painless. One of my own great uncles hung himself in the family's barn a year after 
WW1 because the horrors of trench warfare could not be forced from his mind, awake or 
asleep. The people that fight the huge wars all carry the scars, even in victory. Are you 
ready for that or is it better to reboot with leaders who may be capable of avoiding it? 
Winning past wars with conventional weapons on battlefields against a detectable enemy 

26 



presence should not cause us to assume we can do so well today. The next great war will 
have new weapons and new tricks. Warfare will include cyber attacks on every system 
that is connected to the internet and some that are not. There are bombs (EMP) designed 
to destroy all electronics so our power grid and much else will be vulnerable targets. 
Contaminated water supplies and guerrilla tactics against civilians in public places are 
what wars bring today. 

We may have won some wars but where were we fighting? Not on our streets. It was the 
great cities and countryside of Europe exploding and burning. It was northern Africa, 
Asia and island strongholds that smelled of death and soaked up the tears of millions, 
not New York, Chicago or your hometown. It was not our bridges, factories, homes and 
cities left in ashes. This was an enormous advantage, especially when the fighting was 
finished. We can still defeat any opposing force on a battlefield but our enemies know 
this so the fighting will not be on battlefields. This is a new world with new weapons 
and new power players and alliances.. Expect changes. 

Albert Einstein once said, “I know not what weapons WW3 will be fought with but 
WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones.” Myself, I'd rather prevent it. Wise and 
competent leaders acting with the best interests of our nation at heart may be able to 
prevent the next one. Does any of that define the crew we have running our government 
today? No. We have squandered every advantage as other nations have begun to finally 
catch up. The great period of growth, wealth and prosperity following WW2 was a 
victory bounce and we will create another bounce or lose our position in the world.

Section 5 

The Great Bounce of WW11 

Our fighters came home from WW2 and went to work producing and the world was our 
market. Soldiers of the war torn nations had to go home and rebuild while ours came 
home and went right to work. We had one heck of a head start and we made the most of 
it. We were producing most of the worlds fuel and we were feeding, clothing and 
supplying the world at a very nice profit. Our economy had stabilized and we were not a 
nation buried in debt we could not pay. Our crops and manufactured products were 
needed by the world and our our advanced infrastructure and technologies helped us fill 
those needs as we grew fat on the profits. Our businesses were able to operate free of 
burdensome regulations and government stumbling blocks. Those were great years for 
the nation that had a head start and all of the components for success at just the right 
time. That was the Great Bounce of WW2. 

Every bounce has 2 parts, up and down. As we were bouncing up nothing much was 
happening in South America. India and China were backwards nations where a man who 
owned his own bicycle was considered fortunate. The Middle East was just a strange 
group of people and nations squabbling amongst themselves but hardly more than an 
amusing distraction on the world stage. 

The United States was the big dog on the block as the trade and finance powerhouse and 
everyone knew it. The Soviet thorn in our side was a security threat but no problem as 
competition in our world markets. We had it all. 

Jump ahead 60 years and all of that has changed. The Middle East is now awash in our 
oil dollars while our leaders have destroyed our own fuel production, so valuable to our 
efforts in WW2. India, China and many other nations are now profiting greatly from 
products they export at prices we cannot begin to compete with. This trend cannot be 
reversed, their people can live on much less than we can and their governments do not 
deliberately hinder their businesses. They have positioned themselves to succeed today 
while our leaders have failed to do the same so we are showing inevitable signs of 
decline. 

How many of our jobs can anyone bring back? Our manufacturing sector can never 
provide the number of high paying jobs it once did. During the first phase of our Great 
Bounce millions of workers were required to perform manual work in our factories and 

28 



offices. They have been replaced by technological advances in automation and 
equipment that is faster, cheaper and more reliable. This will not change, those jobs are 
gone. Yes our industries have seen other shifts from progress and technology but those 
changes also produced more jobs here, not overseas for products then sold here. I refuse 
the argument that people said the same when the age of mechanization replaced the 
blacksmiths, harness-makers and others who supported themselves by working with or 
caring for horses. Mechanics and production workers were needed for new industries. 
Yes, times change but times of good changes produce more industry, these times do not. 
Not here. The very technology that once aided us in development and growth became a 
double edged sword cutting costs one way and jobs the other. Our leaders taxed and 
regulated businesses who were forced to go elsewhere or lose their ability to compete. 

There are good economic times happening right now but not in the nations that are 
already advanced. The nations that did not get a WW2 bounce are getting one now 
because they still have decades to go before they wind up where we are. It will come to 
them eventually but that will not help us. Such is the way of the world. Grow or die. 
Either we have leaders who can help us position for growth or this nation is finished. 
This can be done but we must first force the departure of hundreds, if not thousands, of 
very bad leaders. We can prepare for growth only by first overcoming the stranglehold 
of corruption in all levels of government. If we cannot do that, nothing else matters, it 
will be a Reckoning. 

Right now, as a nation we can still produce food and products but automation has left us 
with more workers than we can employ. There is no real discussion in government that 
answers the question, what do we do with these workers now? It was bad enough when 
we had millions who did not try and willingly remained a burden, now we have sincere 
good people with no opportunity for advancing their lot in life. Other great nations of 
past prosperity are experiencing identical challenges. Unfortunately they spent the fat 
years making the same mistakes we did. They are in deeper trouble than we are because 
we have the birthright of the American Spirit to guide us, they do not. This truth is the 
single characteristic that has always led to American exceptionalism. It still can if we 
can gather to prove it. Restorers can do this, no one else is even pretending to propose a 
plan on a scale we are absolutely capable of achieving. The American Spirit naturally 
rejects the concept of waiting to receive a fate beyond our control. I refuse to accept a 
fate beyond our control. What kind of nonsense is that? We are AMERICANS and by 
the grace of God in heaven I will stand with those who stand with me and defend our 

29 



right to fire bad leaders. This is not complicated. Our leaders are preventing us from 
adapting to prosper in the future so they must go. They have no plans at all for freeing 
up our great minds, our skills and ingenuity or our great resources for building a stable 
position of strength for our next generation. 

It is not logical to expect intelligent plans for our future to come from the leaders we 
now have. We cannot even persuade them to stop looting wealth we no longer have, is it 
rational to expect them to find solutions to the problem that is them? These people are 
not wise leaders with experience in trade, industry or economics. They are mostly career 
politicians whose only skills are in plundering our economy for their own gain and lying 
well enough to keep their tracks covered and their jobs safe. 

Section 6 

A World of Fake Money and Real Debt 

A Reckoning. Chaos to be mastered by the victors after all involved are done losing 
along the way. How did we even let it reach the point of this discussion? Nations and 
individuals began to behave like a fat spoiled child on a couch blowing an inheritance 
earned by others with no regard for the future. We've all seen these foolish children wind 
up broke and in debt. Well, guess what? Most of the western world is now in that same 
place, the bounce is over and the ball is rolling toward another field. America must 
create another bounce or the ball will become the property of others who are already in 
play. 

 Our extreme national debt can never be paid, no amount of growth and success will 
overtake it. As we continue to loot our future with waste, fraud, borrowing and printing 
of fake dollars our global competitors are growing and expanding their markets. We owe 
trillions of dollars and as our markets share becomes smaller we borrow trillions more. 
Most people still believe we are borrowing our own dollars back from China but this is 
drying up. While that was a completely stupid fact of our recent past the Chinese have 
watched us long enough to know we are in too far. They have sharply reduced their 
investments in our system and are selling off some of what they have. To cover this loss 
of funding we are now borrowing from ourselves. Think of it as opening a second 
checking account to write checks for covering overdrafts in your first account. That is 
how our country is financed today. 

30 



Debt is common but why should a nation, especially ours, deal in debt? Think about it; 
debit is the ultimate manifestation of imagination. You borrow to spend what you 
imagine you can repay later. Debt is spending what is currently tangible with the 
expectation it can be repaid later with funds you can only hope for. A person can borrow 
with comfort as long as they have a secure income and know it will remain so. 
A nation should not acquire more debt when they owe that money back to potential 
enemies or themselves. The same people in government who are spending the money 
from our future are the same ones who are crippling our businesses so we won't be able 
to make enough money to repay the mistakes they make by borrowing. The only way we 
can afford to keep paying the rapidly accumulating interest is to increase taxes. With 
fewer jobs here now we have fewer tax payers so more is needed from each. This is a 
problem that grows it's appetite faster than it's food. Right now it looks like the workers 
in 2030 will be taxed for well over half of their pay. That is the good news, not 
considering the economic chaos of global financial meltdowns and a Reckoning. More 
than half of your pay toward taxes—IF we get lucky. 

There is absolutely no way we can reverse this trend with the leaders and party powers 
we now have. Those who created our disaster will never fix it and our decline is 
developing so quickly it is naive to believe decades of election cycles may eventually 
turn it around. How many decades of elections can you survive by writing yourself bad 
checks? 

For those who have brought us this new reality, a price should be paid. Those who 
deliberately led us to spending beyond all responsible limits must be removed from 
office and stripped of all pensions and benefits. To reward them for their attempts to 
destroy us is insanity. For those who were present and failed to take a stand by making 
the battle against corruption their highest priority, they must also go. 

Economists and old style conservatives tell us we must grow our way out of debt. Do we 
really need them to tell us the obvious? They do not give a logical plan for that growth. 
How are we to produce astronomical growth when the bankers along with all levels of 
government have left us with a formidable minefield of requirements, restrictions and 
regulations on any form of business? They stifle the very growth they acknowledge we 
so desperately need. We cannot start new businesses and create a new future of success 
with a government filled with those who make it so hard to do. We do not have the 
freedom today that we had when we did grow and show the world what America was 

31 



capable of. The government that is supposed to protect our ability to live free and 
prosper is now the aggressive enemy of our freedoms and prosperity. All levels of 
government seem determined to make it hard for us to conduct business while spending 
their time figuring out ways to make us pay more for the damage they cause. 

This is a textbook example of a quandary. A perplexing situation whose solutions all 
create more problems. We are not in a static state we can remain in for as long as we 
choose to. The first stage of a Reckoning will most likely be due to our finances. A 
severe market crash, extreme inflation from printing too much money or any other 
financial catalyst can become the spark that lands in our national powder keg. Restorers 
know this, we realize the potential for a nightmarish financial collapse. Old style 
conservatives seem to think the threat is something we can live with until some mystical 
leaders of the future get around to fixing it. Restorers want the spending under control 
immediately, not a 10 or 20 year plan the old guard will accept. We fix this now or the 
economy alone may launch a complete Reckoning which will do it for us in a brutal 
fashion. Our future has no other options that a rational examination of the evidence will 
support. 

Some in positions of power resent the past successes and high standard of living in 
America. They are manipulating economics and policies to bring us down. This is no 
accident but a very deliberate strategy to break us down so we are more desperate and 
easier to control. Right now they face no effective resistance. Old style conservatives 
have been swatted away like flies as the socialists either change the rules or ignore them. 
The continued success of the destructive strategies will soon create rates of inflation 
which will change the buying habits of every American, especially the targeted middle 
class. Look at what has already happened to the cost of food and fuels. Imagine your life 
if they double or triple again. Or worse. No nation deserves a high standard of living, 
they earn them. Most of us are not the ones who earned ours, not as a nation. Too many 
focused on just getting their own and ignored what the leaders were doing as the golden 
goose was plucked clean. 
We must resolve to earn our way to financial security once again by rebooting with 
leaders who actually know or care how a stable economy functions. 

Overspending can drive amazing levels of inflation and when it happens here you may 

32 



have a lot of money, it just won't buy very much. All but the most wealthy people will be 
forced to purchase nothing but the most basic essential products then start prioritizing 
among them too. Businesses like theaters, novelty shops, home improvement stores and 
restaurants will close at alarming rates, producing more unemployed workers. More 
homes lost and fewer taxes paid to all levels of government so more services are cut. 
More debt, more borrowing, more inflation and more people needing assistance. People 
are then forced to cut deeper into their lifestyles and the cable TV, internet and cell 
phones become casualties. Vacations are not even considered and another industry is 
falling apart. All of these cuts result in losses for companies who then let more workers 
go. The disaster feeds itself. 

Section 7 

Point of No Return 

At some point, even those who do not pay attention must face the reality of what has 
transpired. They will be looking for someone to blame for their plight. 

The middle class will eventually become angry, upset with their own plight and hurting 
from what they see friends and loved ones going through. Many Americans already have 
friends or relatives living with them and the prospects for more of this are great. In a 
Reckoning this will be common with no prospect for improvement in sight. People will 
be scared or angry but at this point it will be too late. The Reckoning will be upon us. It 
is reasonable to ask why a Reckoning would result when we went through a Great 
Depression with a semblance of basic social stability. The answer is complicated but 
rooted in the reality of our times. First of all, a Reckoning is more than a single set of 
problems or challenges, it is the cyclical retribution administered by fate and allowed by 
God for permitting a mushroom cloud of problems to escalate to proportions far beyond 
our control. The Great Depression happened in a different era in a far different world. 
We had huge potential markets available. We had untapped resources and the ability to 
manage our businesses for the growth solutions that saved us. The Great Depression was 
an economic crisis but economics are just one aspect of a much bigger mess today. 

I find people now who are saying they trust that God will save us by why would He? 

33 



When has He ever helped those who were not first helping themselves? Look at history; 
God saved Christians from the pits of Rome and the lions that fed upon them for 
entertainment but how many died first? How many first died in the wars God helped us 
eventually win? Nowhere does God state that He will prevent us from suffering on earth 
from dangerous conditions we create for ourselves and refuse to correct ourselves. He 
gave us brains and a Book of rules and told us to use both for our own good. Instead, we 
inch our way toward a Reckoning we can see coming but do very little to prevent. 

In the absence of intelligent and responsible leadership America is vulnerable to 
escalation of troubles that may very likely reach to us from beyond our shores. We 
cannot assume that our worst troubles can only begin here. Financial collapses in 
Europe, interruption of fuel supplies from the Middle East, military emergencies from 
Russia, the Middle East or Asia, the Sea of China region, all could launch us into critical 
stages of emergency which would require fast and effective responses from our leaders 
to keep from creating enormous problems for us. The planet is one big powder keg right 
now just waiting for a spark and the people we have in place to react are so incompetent, 
so distracted by campaigns and political one-upsmanship they can't even make minor 
decisions of a positive nature. God help us if something imminently dangerous occurs 
before we can begin forcing out the worst of them. You know whatever they would do in 
response to real danger would be weak, stupid or both. We just can't start removing them 
soon enough. 

Right now there is a real possibility that the Middle East could wind up in a war because 
crazy people want nukes. If it starts there is no way anyone can guess who would jump 
in or which nations would form alliances in active support of each other. Since our 
government spent 30 years talking about becoming energy independent instead of 
achieving it, a war in the Middle East would be an instant nightmare for us. Our fuel 
prices are bad enough but a war could result in gas prices of $12-$15 a gallon or even 
more. There would be rationing, no way around it. Everything we need for survival is 
hauled by vehicles using this fuel so all prices would have to rocket skyward to cover 
shipping and transport costs. Are you ready for that? How many people can pay $240 for 
a 16 gallon fill up, if they are allowed to purchase a full tank? 

Farmers that raise our food burn this fuel in the equipment that plants and harvests it. 
Their crops we eat and that which they feed to the livestock we consume would cost 

34 



much more to produce. Food prices could triple, or worse. Food and a bit of gas would 
be more than most can afford. What would people do to get these things and what steps 
would the government take to manage it? To manage us? 

We may still be considered the world's only superpower but enemies no longer fear us 
either; they've seen too many displays of weakness and indecision, too many mistakes. 
Our allies have always been quick to accept protection, aid and support from us but 
when we need support from them they often fail us. When you are alone at the top many 
will resent that and secretly enjoy seeing you in trouble. I believe that is the case among 
some of our allies. If our best interests compete with theirs in the least we will be left on 
our own. Yet, the problems that begin in other lands are capable of spilling over and 
igniting troubles right here. 

The world has changed and Europe is in the same floundering boat we are. The Middle 
East nations are in turmoil and nations that do not like us are uniting and stabilizing their 
own bases of power. New powers that are uniting previously insignificant nations that 
are growing in financial and military power. 

European nations are already on alert wary of rioting if their unstable economies 
collapse. Tragedies like that have a way of producing contagious behavior that some in 
our country would try to exploit for their own dumb reasons. Armed conflicts growing 
elsewhere, such as the Korean Peninsula, Iran, China and Taiwan, Israel and any of their 
neighbors could spark serious unrest here. We have people here who will take advantage 
of any opportunity for civil disobedience. 

We have never seen widespread rioting in America, the closest we ever came was in the 
60's and that was bad enough. With the division and animosity that exists in our society 
now that socialism has a toehold there will be riots in some areas before the instigators 
can be contained. That is just how they work, they use violence because they cannot win 
on ideas alone. These people are quite comfortable using guerrilla tactics too. Anyone 
who has watched the socialist demonstrations and protests knows that our governments 
have adopted a hands-off attitude toward them. While traditional Americans who 
support our laws and Constitution are treated with suspicion as potential thugs and 
terrorists, socialist revolutionaries are coddled and allowed special privileges. 

Now we have foreign terrorists that may act as guerrillas and some of our own who will 

35 



join or mimic them. The future does not look bright for people who live in our major 
cities or more populous states. They will receive the major impact of bad behavior if we 
allow that day to come. It is said that 70% of Americans live within 50 miles of a coast. 
It is the coasts that bear the brunt of attacks in the first stages of war. 

Troubles brewing in pockets across the globe and troubles brewing right here at home, 
these are just troubling times. Scattered conflicts have a way of congealing into large 
widespread conflicts. Neither World War began around the world at once. They began as 
regional wars that spread out of control like a grassfire in a strong wind. There is 
currently nothing in the works that shows promise of calming growing hostilities so it is 
wise to hope for the best but prepare for something else. What is prepared? What does it 
mean to be prepared? It is difficult to prepare when you must guess what may come. 

Everyone has a unique situation and our needs vary but the most important part of 
preparing is mental. Prepare your mind to be able to remain content with much less. 
Prepare yourself to be strong when you see the suffering of others. Prepare yourself to 
deal with whatever comes without mourning the loss of material possessions or access to 
conveniences that we now take for granted. 

It is safe to assume any serious effort to bring the United States to it knees will involve 
destruction of our water systems, our electrical grid and our communications. Take the 
water or power from any heavily populated area and you have paralyzed that portion of 
America. Disrupt communications and you have struck a severe mental blow that will 
have profound effects. I know people right now that panic or become very distraught 
when their smart phone is dead or their internet isn't working. 

Our infrastructure is vulnerable. You know it, I know it and the world knows it. Cyber 
attacks have already been tested and succeeded in taking out water supply pumps and 
power grids. Just tests but they worked. Other tests have been conducted toward hacking 
into the controls of our communication satellites. The hackers got into the control 
software that steers these satellites and they advanced through the steps as far as they 
needed to in order to change the path, and therefore the function of the satellites they 
tested. At that point they stopped, they knew they had access capabilities. The hackers 
knew they could get back in, whenever they are ready to. Who are those hackers and 
when will they feel they are ready? What is it they are practicing for? 

36 



How long can a region go without electrical power before critical emergencies 
overwhelm our ability to respond? With no power you have no refrigeration, no furnace 
fan and no air conditioning. Homebound patients with medical equipment are soon in 
serious trouble. Stores will lose power too so that means fuel pumps will also be down. 
Whatever gas you have stored determines how long you can drive. Cities that rely upon 
subways or mass transit will come to a halt. Security will become everyones problem 
because of the bad actors who will take advantage of the disaster. How would one call 
911 and will they be too overwhelmed to respond? 

There are a great many citizens who are alive and functional today because of regular 
treatment of a condition or prescription drugs which they cannot live without. Insulin, 
blood pressure medicine, oxygen tanks and much more. These would be impossible for 
some to access and the results are not pleasant. Finding these people after they perish 
would become a common occurrence. Our society is dependent upon reliable 
infrastructure for basic survival needs. Our infrastructure is vulnerable and only reliable 
when not tampered with. 

Another book could be written about life without electricity. The ramifications are 
endless. How would people in apartments or condo complexes get fresh air, temperature 
control or the ability to even prepare a meal? Many people in single family homes would 
not be able to cook, bathe or store food. Try this little experiment with yourself or your 
family. Go for a full week without using a microwave and toaster. I know people who 
have never heated soup or vegetables on an open flame like the old gas ovens used. How 
would they be able to feed themselves for weeks or months on end with no gas or 
electric? Where do you get fuel for a fire in a city and where do you burn it in an 
apartment complex? FYI- you can live on cold canned vegetables and Spam but you 
sure won't like it. 

Generators can get you by for awhile but they make noise and that will draw others who 
have none. I've seen this after a day of ice storms in a city. Generators attract attention 
and in this case, they would be vital to life for many. Running a generator advertises the 
fact you have power and fuel. Would that be wise? A generator is short term relief, they 
need fuel and they would need to be protected against theft. What would people with no 
storage space do for food when the stores are not available? They would be forced to 
leave their homes, where do they go? A power plant that is severely damaged takes a 
long time to put back together. Prepare mentally. Have a plan and do not hesitate to 
implement it at the slightest hint of trouble. 

37 



Each day without power would become increasingly dangerous for travel in the streets. 
Even good people can be changed when faced with desperation. How would our 
officials react? We know they have contingency plans, we do not know what they are. 
Roadblocks and restricted travel? Maybe. Probably, highly likely in the most heavily 
populated areas. Controlling crime would be a big job and allowing unrestricted travel 
would enable criminals, I would expect travel restrictions. 

Imagine a week in a high rise apartment without water. No drinking or cooking water, no 
bathroom facilities. Not good but again, very likely. Municipal water supplies use a 
series of electric pumps for distribution. Emergency back-ups are very short term only. 
The Reckoning, and it is only beginning. 

Once we are crippled in various regions, what will the people do? What will they accept 
or tolerate from leaders? When a major power is crippled the sharks tend to circle, 
opportunities like this are not wasted. A military problem with a foreign nation is a real 
possibility at this point. Missiles? Send enough of them and some will get through. 
Across the globe there are 11,000 missiles already aimed at us. We have already 
witnessed 2 launched near our shores without detecting the underwater craft that carried 
them. At this point, all bets are off and ingenuity will determine your best chances for 
keeping mind and body together. Ingenuity, preparedness, courage and a fair amount of 
luck. 

We rely heavily upon foreign trade and imports for our foods and many other basics. All 
international conflicts involve disruption of trade and supply traffic. This is a tactic as 
old as warfare and it cuts both ways. War is privation, ask someone who was around 
during WW2 what they lived without and those fights were not even here. There was no 
trouble on our streets and no loss of utilities. Many other nations depend upon us 
exporting wheat, corn and other grains for their own food supply systems. They would 
see shortages. African nations already struggling with hunger and lousy production 
depend upon imported foods and medicines. The human disaster they would experience 
is unthinkable. 

The scenarios suggested here are tragic and dramatic but similar stories have occurred 
repeatedly since the beginning of time. Now that the world is so heavily populated and 
so interdependent upon global trade the consequences are more than those with the wars 
of history. There has never been a global calamity of the kind now building to a level of 
genuine threat. War combined with financial collapse and food and fuel shortages while 

38 



our own leaders focus on gaining power by changing us to a socialist bastion of 
powerless subjects. That is what distinguishes the Reckoning. A worldwide reset where 
all we know is changed and loss of life and possessions is of a scale beyond 
comprehension.

Section 8 

Prevention 

What are our leaders doing that gives you confidence they will avoid a Reckoning? Our 
financial system is being manipulated to a meltdown. International relations are a 
confused disaster of incoherent policies and senseless actions. Our infrastructure is not 
protected and our food and fuel supplies are dependent upon imports to sustain our 
current needs. Our borders are still easily crossed and our electrical, water and 
communication systems are proven to be vulnerable with no reliable back-up in place. 

What are we paying our leaders for? What are they doing with their time? They devise 
security over us and implement rules for scanning old ladies and baby diapers at 
airports. They install cameras and purchase spy drones so they can more closely observe 
what we do. They devise regulations that limit our ability to produce our own food and 
fuels as they allow production to be consolidated within mega-corporations that also 
cannot function without a reliable economy or infrastructure. They spend great amounts 
of their time meeting with high paid professional lobbyists who write the details of the 
laws they force upon us in exchange for campaign donations from special interests. 

Our leaders are absolutely positioning us for a true Reckoning whether by incompetence 
or deliberate, insidious intent. Are we the only generation of Americans who is dumb 
enough to allow this? Are we the weak and complacent generation our enemies have 
been hoping for? 

No, not all of us. It is time for us to begin removing the worst violators and work our 
way down until real solutions based upon our security, our future and common sense 

39 



finally start to develop. It is time to gather the Restorers to a single cause, the 
establishment of a corruption free DC and restoration of Constitutional principles in our 
government. The days of growing wealthy while presiding over the deliberate decline of 
our great nation are over. 

Now, some who do sense bad times ahead expect or favor a violent overthrow of our 
government today. They refer to the actions of our Founders in their day and attempt to 
draw comparisons which validate violent militia action here and now. This is not good. 
The Founders were dealing with a professional foreign army who was on the ground 
here enforcing arbitrary rule of a distant monarchy. We are merely having to fire some 
bad people in nice suits and expensive dresses. We have a great form of government, we 
need to re-establish it. There is no need or reason to overthrow the government, not 
while it can still be restored. We are not facing an armed hostile presence. Not yet 
anyway.

Addendum 


The following essay was first published at our original site, 20turns.com. It has been 
edited for updates. 

Violent Revolution? Better Think Twice 


What a time to be alive! It seems as though the only thing we all agree on is that 
America as we once knew it is gone. We said America would not be lost on our watch 
but darn if it didn't happen anyway! Now we are seeking to define what we will become 
and no one knows where that answer will take us. Personally, I am with those who insist 
upon a return to Constitutional government. What matters most is the way we get 
wherever it is we are going. We all know the troubles in DC and we all have our own 
interpretations of who, what and how we got into such a mess. 

We had better step back and have a look at the pitfalls as we move ahead and decide 
how to straighten things back out. 

We are living a revolution. Right now, this is it. We have changed so dramatically that 
revolution is the only way to describe it. Most of us, on both sides of the battle, are not 
happy as things stand right now. 

I listen to the left, was raised on the right but see no solutions coming from either side. 
There are a lot of people on both sides talking and acting through the system to move 
things in the way they wish. I am also hearing more people from both sides who are so 
frustrated, so angry that they are ready to abandon the process. People have had it and 
are tired of being ignored. Now there is a great anger building and it seems like every 
move Washington makes feeds that anger. I’m angry too but that anger is tempered with 
concern and a heartfelt desire to do the right thing. That is why I am doing all I can think 
of to bring progress to a peaceful revolution to restore this nation and our Constitutional 
government. That is why I am a Restorer. 

Many are now acting as though they want violence to begin just to get it over with. I 
wonder how many of those people have been in truly violent situations? I have. Working 
through school in a large packing house in a rough area shows you things many people 
prefer not to think about. When I was violent it was brief acts among violent people and 

41 



I can tell you, it is to be avoided. Whether you know what you are doing or not. 
Someone gets hurt, someone else gets hurt real bad. Winners get hurt too. 

I believe in violence. There is no other way to control violent people so we pay cops and 
soldiers to be violent in our stead. Resorting to random violence to solve a political 
situation among your own countrymen can only bring disaster to all. No one wins that. 
Look at our own Civil War period for proof. Read about the “burnt district” in Missouri, 
the raid of Lawrence Kansas, the bushwhackers, jayhawkers, Quantrill, Bloody Bill, 
Morgan and the raiders of North and South. To be anxious for that type of situation is 
either ignorant or a sign of insanity. These things happened right here in our nation. 
Everyone in America who has driven on an interstate has probably driven over a path 
some group of raiders crossed on their way to or from plundering innocent people who 
were poorly suited for defense. Violence led these raiders. Violence on the side of good 
defeated them but no one was ever brought back to life, no families were put back 
together. 

What is a violent revolution really like? Some seem to believe they would spend their 
days shooting at bad guys from safe defenses then go home and eat dinner with their 
families. That is not what happens. In a violent revolution mobs develop and individuals 
do not control any aspect of that situation. You are in defense mode and may not prevail. 
You can shoot but they can shoot back. I don’t care what ammo you store or how 
straight you shoot, things happen. Good shooters miss and bad ones get lucky. The good 
guys do not always win. 

First of all, consider your supplies. Our stores restock continuously. That would be 
interrupted. So, maybe you are well stocked. What if you are forced by circumstances to 
abandon your position quickly? That happens and then all that stocked supply belongs to 
someone else. There is a good chance that government would enact anti-hoarding laws 
and sweep for stored goods. Other nations have, ours did. You think you can defend your 
hoarded items against such a sweep? When a government sweeps an area for food or 
weapons they don’t send Sgt Friday with a warrant. Trucks pull up and soldiers pour out 
in teams and overcome an area immediately. You’d fight back? Fine, they center on you, 
take you out and go on. These people are trained, have more back-up than you do and 
they all know what they’re doing. 

You have family and friends who will not be with you. What happens with them? 

42 



Revolutions are famous for spawning epidemics of pregnancies. You can guess how that 
happens and it is not consensual. If you think your wife or daughters are safe from that 
get in line with millions of others who have made that same mistake. They are not. You 
cannot protect a home or it’s people for extended periods of time. In a conflict nothing is 
more vulnerable, more easy to destroy than a residential home. In a violent breakdown 
of societies nothing is safe from destruction. Cities burn, you think you can save your 
home when all around is in flames? Even in rural areas there is risk. Being isolated you 
are also isolated in defense and at any moment too many of the wrong crowd can storm 
through. You may think you can stand that once, what about 4 or 5 times? If you are 
exposed enough to fire a shot in defense then you are exposed enough for an enemy 
bullet to follow the same path back to you. Records of war tell of men taking a bullet 
which came at them directly through their own rifle scope. Who will defend your family 
when your scope has a hole clear through it? 

I have a daughter who developed asthma in an instant. She laid down and we found her 
unable to breathe. It was a mad rush to get her to care but we were able to move freely 
and we were not pinned down. If something similar would happen during a violent 
revolution a parent would have to sit tight and hold that child as they died. Violent 
revolution prevents society from functioning and when society ceases to function 
common maladies like asthma, diabetes, broken bones and infections become life-
threatening dangers. 

So many people seem to think a violent revolution is something that happens in a week 
or 2 then they emerge from their safety hole and view the damages. That is presuming 
too much and that view ignores history and too many very real possibilities. 

A person is wise to prepare their family. It is always prudent to have food and more 
stocked and it it just common sense to have a way to defend yourself, your family and 
your home. It is foolish to think that you have everything you need and cannot be 
overrun in a out of control scenario. Violent revolutions are the ultimate dice roll. They 
create many mob-rule situations. The mobs are always wrong but try telling them that 
when they surround your home and you cannot call for help. 

When you speak of being ready for violence you better realize what you are saying. Are 
you ready to risk your own death resulting in no protector left to defend your family? 
Are you ready to be wounded in a freak occurrence then lie helpless while your wife 

43 



and/or daughters are carried off? That is part of it. Are you ready to lie immobilized 
from a wound while you watch your own blood drain away? That is the result of 
violence. If you think this can't happen you'd better read the stories from our Civil War, 
our Revolutionary War, the recent incidents in Bosnia, Serbia, Soviet Georgia, 
Columbia, Greece, WW 1 & 2 or any other period where social upheavals and war 
occurred. Start with the Bible if you believe nothing else. The war stories have remained 
the same since man first learned to write the records. 

Yes we need a revolution but people had best allow the better angels of our nature run it. 
We need to do this but by increasingly active protests, removing corrupt leaders, strikes, 
boycotts, shutting down our businesses and other non-violent methods. Cooler heads 
must prevail. It is easy to sit at a computer while the furnace is running, the lights are on 
and the beer is cold talking about how you are ready and it is time for blood! It is not 
easy when you walk outside to gather your well-planned self-sufficient eggs or garden 
produce and someone hiding in a bush snipes a bullet into your back right outside your 
door. That is violent revolution. 

This effort must remain peaceful until someone else brings violence to you. If someone 
does bring violence, be prepared to win but know that you may not. If you are mad at the 
system then become a Restorer and struggle to change the system. If you are so wound 
up that you are ready to launch the battle now, turn off the news and get yourself some 
help. 

The rest of us will keep working on new ideas and uniting with political power to force 
change. We need to stop the socialist revolution and begin one of our own but we need 
one that we can look back on with pride, not tears. 

We need the success of the Restorers.

Section 1 

Where Are the Leaders We Need Today? 


When is it time to stop whining about our losses and repeating old complaints about 
liberals and start acting like we are truly dedicated to the Restoration of America instead 
of just defining what ails us? Maybe we would not be losing our nation or worried 
about our future if we had a few strong leaders out front with ideas, drive and direction 
that inspired confidence. I'd settle for just one good one with strength and momentum 
right now. Throughout history, time and again one strong leader making a stand at the 
crucial moment has changed the world. The characteristics they all shared was a clear 
view of the problems and a strong message against the opposition. Where are the leaders 
we need today? 

The people posing as leaders for American causes today are not yet applying all of their 
potential to Restore this nation. Every one of them that comes to mind maintains their 
status by what they say, not what they have accomplished. We cannot follow people that 
merely sound good but who else is there? Where is the inspirational leader with a 
growing resume of hard won successes? Where is the one person with the strength and 
determination of our Founders who will boldly proclaim that the corrupt nature of our 
current political process is an affront to American principles and an insult to our fallen 
soldiers? Where is the outspoken leader who shows signs of actually understanding the 
enemies we face and the dire need to stop them right now? 

The talk show hosts, the newest powerhouses of the media have a decision to make. 
They know the parties of the past have failed us; will they decide to join with us to 
accomplish the goals they say they share with us? I think so. I believe most are sincere 
and understand our need to meld into an organized and determined unit. They have a lot 
at stake and must be able to look us over and believe in us before we can expect them to 
risk their credibility by joining us. We have work to do there, let's get to doing it. Let 
them know who we are and what we are doing. We need them, they need us. We are all 
in this together. Will one of them become a leader? Who among them will be with us 
when it matters? 

Where is the one strong leader that can stand apart from the political cesspool of our 
nation's capital and proclaim the truth? How can a nation of 330 million people not 

45 



produce just one of integrity and patriotism with loyalty to their nation instead of their 
party? All I see is people so immersed in party politics, so brainwashed by years of 
games they are all saying different versions of the same threadbare nonsense. 

Where are the new leaders for today who will stand and tell us the liberals are no longer 
the problem, they were just a warm-up act for the fanatical socialists we must now stand 
against? We have vocal entertainers but not leaders, they are not the same thing. The old 
leaders in political positions and national airwaves still rant about the liberals as the 
problem and the conservatives as the antidote. That is why we need new leaders, up to 
date leaders that can see the changes that have already taken place and promote the new 
strategies needed to actually accomplish something good on a large scale. When was the 
last time we experienced a big change that was in our best interests? When was the last 
time you saw a leader do something that gave you real faith that we were turning the 
tide? Ponder that question for awhile..... 

Where are the leaders America needs today? They are not on the radar. 
They will rise, names now unknown will become famous as they take the lead in our 
restoration struggles. Names we have yet to hear of will be creating more discussion and 
search hits than any familiar names of today. The people out front leading a successful 
restoration will be known far into the future as historical figures equal to our Founders. 
The history for tomorrow is happening today and it is devoid of substantial leaders. This 
nation is ripe for new direction, some new leadership and some real heroes. The nation 
is ready for new leaders who are Restorers. 

Section 2 

Talking Heads: What Are They Waiting For? 

One obvious reason the Patriot movements in this nation are suffering daily losses is 
because the loudest popular voices with the best distribution are predominantly old style 
conservatives, not Restorers. Of course, it goes without saying that ALL but one or two 
of the most familiar are baby boomers conditioned to repeating the talk that made them 
famous. They are highly successful baby boom entertainers being mistaken for leaders 
by old style baby boom conservative followers who are well adjusted to being in second 
place. ( I too, am a boomer) Think about it, run through the list of the top names in talk 
today and the pattern is there. Here we have a group with powerful public forums, the 

46 



public ear and millions of radio listeners, TV viewers, readers and subscribers. Yet, they 
choose to merely inform and entertain, not lead effectively. That is their right to do so 
and their voices provide a valuable service for all but a problem develops when patriotic 
citizens mistake them for leaders. What is most troubling is that each of them will state 
they are entertainers or opinion reporters then follow up by playing an occasional 
haphazard leadership role. 

They tell you who to vote for, what rallies to attend, whose books to buy, which groups 
to support and what strategies to use. In this way they blur the lines between entertaining 
and leading. They draw millions to concerts, rallies, demonstrations and festivals and 
not once has one of them sent the attending crowd home with a plan that all know will 
save our nation starting immediately. Not once has any of them told the crowd both old 
parties are part of the corruption and offered something else. Not once have any of them 
done more than prove they can draw a crowd. No group of people in this nation could be 
of more service to restoring the nation, removing corruption and saving our future than 
patriotic media stars. Unfortunately, too many are the very ones hurting us by 
perpetuating the old style liberal vs. conservative debates and convincing many to 
believe we actually have 20 to 50 years available to us for fixing this nation. We have 
lost the luxury of time. Why are these people willing to wait while corruption runs 
rampant in our governments? Is it because they are wealthy and isolated from the effects 
of the damage? Fear of the FCC or losing advertising contracts? They tell us it may take 
50 years knowing full well that they throw away 2 generations by doing so and they'll be 
dead and long gone before it can be proven just how wrong their advice was. Some of 
these may eventually become useful Restorers but they are at risk of waiting too long to 
get there. 

These media darlings of today who are underutilizing the trust of their loyal followers 
will not be remembered once their microphones fall silent unless they make a difference 
now when it counts. Why should any of them be remembered as anything more than 
educators or amusing entertainers? Not one is doing anything to restore our country now, 
today. One is very close, he may do it. We have had more than 40 presidents, how many 
of them are well remembered by everyday people? How many reporters and entertainers 
have we seen come and go? How many are remembered as significant or held in great 
esteem today? How many great American patriots are discussed as famous today besides 
those who lived 235 years ago? Reagan? Who else? Every point in time has its stars, the 
next point in time dismisses them for the latest greatest and so on. All of the big names 

47 



of today will also be forgotten by the future if they fail to help restore America now. 
People are wrong to see them as leaders when they choose to be analysts who only react 
after the fact. Leaders break new ground, they do not encourage devoted followers to 
pursue failed tactics. 

In the past 5 years a few very notable names from the scene of political discourse have 
passed before their time. They are rarely mentioned now. They reported and analyzed 
everything, they changed nothing. The few who are so famous now will likewise vanish 
without a ripple if they fail to stand courageously for real change right now. Sloshers. 

The talking heads of America today will rise to the occasion or succumb to time as what 
I call “The Sloshers.” What is a slosher? Someone that stirs things up then goes away 
with no appreciable loss. Put your hand in a bucket of water, slosh it around and you 
make some waves. Pull that hand out and the ripples fade away, just like you were never 
there. That is how history will recall the big voices who stir things up today. Either they 
dump the bucket and bring life to a fertile seed or their ripples will subside right after 
they stop sloshing. Something must grow from their work or they are forgettable. 
History does not favor those who just talk but it does remember those who lead 
successfully. 

Do not misinterpret the point of this. Listen to these people as they dig up news you will 
hear nowhere else. Listen to their perspectives and how they analyze news and tie things 
together. They excel in that regard. They are often brilliant and I can be counted among 
the regular listeners. Do not make the mistake of thinking of them as leaders when they 
tell you they are not and demonstrate they are not. The difference with myself and other 
Restorers is that we listen but never stop thinking for ourselves or being honest about 
reality. Restorers do not take advice from people who reinforce the idea that Americans 
are stuck with corruption unless we can vote it out. 

Our reality is that after so many have followed instructions from these entertainers they 
now use those same entertainers excuses to explain away decades of losses. Old style 
conservatives routinely accepting defeat because their old style talking heads tell them 
how. These voices of the airwaves are busy people. They do an incredible amount of 
good research and they have to manage complicated lives while managing many aspects 
of a legitimate profit motivated business. I will absolutely defend their right to do so. 
Can you imagine their lives? They can go nowhere without serious considerations of 

48 



their privacy and security. They must live daily with fears of the security situation of 
those who are most important in their personal lives. Each of them has given up much to 
achieve the status and success they now have. These people live with danger beyond that 
of a movie star or famous athlete. They are also the only group of stars I can think of 
that manage the business of their own success. Considering that most produce programs 
of 3 hours on a daily basis while running a business that is the envy of most CEO's is a 
truly astounding accomplishment. This does not qualify them as leaders but it does 
prove they are outstanding businessmen and entertainers. 

Are they leaders people should follow? Are they people who plan brilliant strategies for 
the success of saving and restoring the worlds greatest nation? No, I think these people 
have enough to do already. When do they get the time required to sit alone, digest all 
that is, was and will be? They do not, they must not or surely they would not be so 
willing to just accept what is happening without demanding it be stopped immediately. 
Yes they are smart. Yes they are able. Yes they are capable of a kind of minor leadership 
role sufficient for maintaining a following and lucrative customer base. These people are 
sharp, but only as entertainers and news analysts. That does not qualify them as leaders 
for saving our nation. If so, why are we not saved after 20 years of their talk? Because 
they do their part and they do it well. The other part they cannot do because none of 
them try. Only the Restorers seem to see this. The action side of patriotism is the void 
that is only half filled. To succeed it must be bursting at the seams and breaking forth in 
all directions. 

Rocket scientists are brilliant but you would not ask one to operate on your heart. These 
stars are sharp but only in their entertainment fields. Ideas and strategies come from idea 
people, not entertainers who report on or analyze events. The Tea Party people proved 
this. They won a historical series of elections. The concept that did it was developed and 
nursed by the people, coast to coast. Entertainers helped them gain prominence but they 
did not invent that strategy, it came from new leaders. Real leaders at home and in 
neighborhoods getting the job done. Tea Party people did it while the talking heads 
followed along. 

Restorers are acutely aware these media stars are not leaders. Mistaking them for leaders 
is the seed of analysis paralysis. They report and the knowledge is usually accurate and 
useful. Restorers apply their own intellect to that reporting and take the next step, they 
demand solutions, real solutions. As OSC's these talk hosts are stuck in the rut of 

49 



believing elections can eventually save us. They emit a steady stream of contradictions. 
Not because they deceive us or choose to, merely because they have not yet transitioned 
from conservatism to restoration. The tactics they suggest have already been defeated 
and their message has not been adapted to address the disasters we now face. Twenty 
years ago when they first began their careers their approach was fresh, their guidance 
helpful. Now they are behind the times. While they were busy the times changed and the 
opposition changed. Now, will our entertainers change to catch up and become useful in 
saving our beloved nation or merely keep lamenting it's demise? Will one of them 
emerge as a historical leader of restoration or will they be forgotten as soon as they go 
silent? That depends on where their hearts take them and how they proceed. Meanwhile, 
we cannot afford to do nothing while waiting for one of them to step up. 

We must call these voices of the airwaves out. We have to challenge them to be strong. 

Section 3 

The Contradictions 
The contradictions from the national stars are apparent but many rising local talents are 
avoiding the same mistakes. The national stars carry on about our Founders but seem to 
pick and choose just which words of the Founders they repeat or ignore. Restorers want 
the pensions and benefits removed from Congress, the Founders discussed this too and 
wanted no such thing. Not one national star is out there daily demanding this. The nation 
resents the lengthy careers of professional politicians but the national stars never go after 
the pensions and benefits that enable them to remain against our wishes. They routinely 
back the campaigns of many who have served for too long in the same office. 

National stars carry on about the American Spirit and the indomitable nature of Patriots; 
then they advise all to buy gold against an inevitable failure, store food and drugs and 
have a plan for when society collapses. The plan for bold Patriots is to prepare for losing 
our nation instead of preventing that loss by removing corruption? THAT is patriotism 
today? Planning how to hide out and survive instead of figuring out how to save our 
nation from that scenario? I thought enemies of America were the ones who had to do 
the hiding, not the citizens. 

Some voices of the air run on day after day telling us about history then tell us to prepare 
for hiding and hoarding until the Reckoning subsides. How can this be considered a 
viable plan by anyone who knows so much history? Few citizens are blessed with the 

50 



courage, abilities and luck survival depends upon in very dangerous times. People who 
lack the courage to prevent a meltdown will not be prepared to survive the chaos of a 
meltdown. Preparing for violent times while doing nothing to avoid them is creating a 
self-fulfilling prophecy. 

Look at our Revolutionary and Civil Wars the radio voices are always referring to. 
Those are the historical examples of what happens when the trouble is in our backyards. 
The records of both are filled with the exploits of murderous bands of raiders who 
combed the countryside taking hoarded goods from people who were better prepared for 
home defense than we are today. These bands murdered, raped, burned and robbed as 
they saw fit and though some were captured or killed many operated for years. Knowing 
this, why do the talking heads not do all they can to prevent it in our time? What have 
they learned from the past they keep telling us about? 

Personal responsibility is a topic the OSC hosts love to expound upon. Take 
responsibility on a personal level for what you have done, what you have failed to do, 
what you should start doing. How can someone tell you to accept responsibility for your 
actions then tell us the plan is to let our mistakes be cleaned up by the next 2 
generations? Maybe by then, after we are dead and buried voting will eventually save 
America. This is the most glaring contradiction demonstrating why we must draw the 
distinction between who is just a popular mouthpiece and who is a leader with integrity 
and substance. Anyone who says personal responsibility matters then tells us our 
children and grandchildren must repair what we've allowed is no one you want advice 
from. Those are not the words of responsible leaders. 

Discussion of revolutions produce several contradictions from this crowd. I have heard 
more than one OSC national talkshow host describe election results as a revolution. This 
demonstrates their disconnect with history and the real meaning of the word. A 
revolution does not just change a few names and faces in a process. A revolution 
changes the process. Ours must produce a process for immediate removal of dangerous 
leaders. A revolution is dramatic and produces immediate change. Elections do not 
provide immediate change and never will. That process leaves a majority of sitting 
members in place and produces slow change that can take decades. Elections, as we 
conduct them, support continuity of policies and ideals. That is just fine when things are 
going well. When things are deteriorating to the level of large scale disaster the last 
thing we need is continuity of leadership. We just proved that in 2010 when newly 

51 



elected leaders won by huge margins and were summarily shut down dead on arrival by 
entrenched career party hacks who resented the proclaimed will of the voters. 

How can one honor the Founders for their revolutionary acts and ideals then report daily 
on the deliberate destruction of those ideals while telling us to tolerate more while 
waiting for election miracles? Our Founders were constantly frustrated by those who 
accepted the role of helpless subjects and willingly tolerated wrongs while hoping for a 
miracle to save them. Now, our people who are talking daily about the Founders are 
repeating the attitudes our Founders struggled so hard to overcome. The only media the 
Founders had available was the printed word and many of those who published are 
remembered as heroes too. We have this powerful media of the airwaves today but they 
are relegating themselves to minor roles when the chips are down and they could be 
making a difference. These voices of the airwaves are in position to become the 
Founders of a restored America but they will have to accept some of the same risks our 
Founders did. Will they do so? The future of our nation is at stake, we must choose our 
leaders wisely. Courage comes with risk, action with sacrifice. Leaders accept this. 

Section 4 

Local Radio Hosts: Restorers Who Lead 

Follow the stars in local markets, that is where you find Restorers. I have found a few 
genuine Restorers speaking truth, patriotism and action but each is a local talent in 
limited markets. I hope and I pray that these people will explode to the national stage 
and be heard by the millions who are ready for them. Our project will do everything we 
can to find and promote these wonderful patriots, some of whom are destined to become 
true historical figures. You will hear more fresh, new and useful ideas from these local 
stars in one day than you will in a month or even a year of listening to the old stars 
whose ideas have become stagnant. Local market hosts, for what they may lack in 
experience, income or notoriety, are much more valuable to our future due to their drive, 
truth and ambition. Restorers exist in local markets so we will promote them and 
encourage them to work together while we encourage all Restorers to support them. No 
one will succeed in this alone. 

I first discovered the pockets of on-air local market Restorers while listening to an 
online broadcast of a Phoenix AM station. I had found work by the host on the net so I 
pulled up his Saturday afternoon program and was amazed to finally hear the 
unvarnished truth about where we are and what we must do about it. The host is Rudi K 

52 



 whose program, Main Street Out Loud airs in Phoenix every Saturday afternoon on 960 
KKNT. It was refreshing to hear a Patriot host speak honestly and free from blinding 
party loyalty. The passion of Rudi's patriotism was immediately apparent and his glovesoff 
approach to analyzing and defining the roots of our national ills was completely 
unexpected. He was just speaking the truth boldly without the bombastic showmanship 
too many national talents rely on. I thought he was just on a roll but it was the same, 
week after week, unapologetic truth without protecting any favorites. Rudi is serious 
about putting America on the right track today, not 30 years from now. I'd found my first 
Restorer in a major market. 

Shortly after discovering Rudi K the major AM blowtorch station in my home state hired 
a great host out of Florida. This man, Simon Conway also speaks just like us Restorers, 
that is, if things are wrong now, why not fix what we've discovered right now? The 
Constitution is supposed to be the ultimate law of the land and Republicans are doing no 
better with this than the Democrats. Ironically, Simon is a LEGAL British immigrant 
and is still a more determined Patriot than 90% of the people I know. Simon can be 
heard on weekdays, 4pm Central on 1040 AM, WHO radio out of Des Moines, find him 
online too and listen well, he gets it. Both of these shows can be found at our website. 

This piqued my curiosity so I began digging around finding other local hosts and hearing 
what they had to say. Other Restorers exist. I soon found a couple more and continue to 
find them without having to look very hard. I hope they all may grow as well as Rudi 
and Simon's shows are doing. That means America is behind their message. These 
people are not repeating the OSC spiels the national hosts are stuck on. What you hear 
from them is insight to what is happening now but they offer real solutions and true 
leadership for making a difference now. You will never hear a Restorer host tell you to 
get ready to hide because Americans can't do anything about where government is taking 
us. They talk about dumping the culprits. The American Spirit is alive and well in them 
and it shows. They understand the Founders of our past and whether they realize it or 
not, they may just be the Founders of our future. Get online, find these people, let them 
know you are listening and telling others about them. It's the least we can do. 

If I am right and one or more of the national stars is a Restorer may God bless them, we 
will be there for them too. Time will tell, who will walk the talk with us? Here we are, 
just talking because we have no leaders identified. That will change as soon as people 
recognize the opportunity, this field is wide open but that won't last. It never does. 
We have all read about or heard about revolutions but what is a revolution like for those 
who are there at the time? Answer that yourself because you are in one right now. The 
skillful manipulation of our political system which is using our trusted processes to 

53 



convert us to a socialist state with our assistance is a true revolution. A brilliant but evil 
throng of determined enemies has accomplished a revolution with the deft skill of true 
evil genius. To reverse what they have done and restore our nation to what God, man 
and law meant it to be will require another revolution and we have no reason to hide 
ours. They undermine our law, we only wish to recover it. We need our leaders right 
now. Yesterday. The only people I have found that are consistently working to lead 
effectively with truth and honesty in these troubled time are a few of our local radio 
voices. May God give them strength, they need all the support they can get. 

Section 5 

Political Parties 

Political parties are a problem. We need them but they stagnate, their ideals get diluted 
by time and they get to a point where the party itself takes precedence over all else. As 
things stand right now, both major parties have severe internal problems. One is lost to 
the socialists and the other is locked in a struggle pitting liberal reformers of the old 
party hierarchy against the patriotic members who are working to restore true 
constitutional principles. People need to decide on an individual basis when a party has 
abandoned them and a new party has become the logical next step. 

Party hacks of the airwaves and elected offices use scare tactics to turn voters from this 
thinking but history demonstrates that new parties can kill off the old ones and change 
the nation. The trick to this is the party must develop in spite of daily news distractions 
and the new party must promote viable candidates, not amusing characters or completely 
goofy nutcases. Real candidates with a sensible message can launch strong new parties 
just like they have done so many times in our past. 

Both current major parties began as upstarts from nowhere. They pulled dissatisfied 
voters from elsewhere and here they are, more than 100 years later telling us we can't do 
what they did. Six different parties have sent Presidents to the White House and the way 
things look right now, number 7 is badly needed. George Washington belonged to no 
party but the system was new and not fully developed. The parties must care about 
serving the voters they extract funding from, if you aren't happy, give them nothing. Dry 

54 



them up until they start listening or something better springs up. I have never seen the 
nation so ripe for a serious new party as it is right now. If you like a candidate, donate 
directly to them or volunteer your work, a party that ignores you deserves nothing in 
return. 

Restorers have had no party to lead us and we do not offer blind loyalty to those who 
ignore us. The parties won't even acknowledge their failures, let alone appeal to us. The 
current party powers never will, the parties are too interested in keeping their pets in 
office. To them it isn't about saving the nation, it is about battling the other party. Blatant 
gamesmanship and mediocrity are situations they are comfortable with. 
Don't expect help from the people that benefit from looting your future and still enjoy 
the wealth, comfort and funding streams of financial security they gain while doing it. 

Here is where the OSC's dramatically differ from Restorers. OSC's use the terms 
patriot, conservative and Republican interchangeably. You will hear the same from 
politicians and national media stars. While most of us realize today's Republicans are a 
huge part of the problem how is it they can they still be called conservatives by these 
people who should know better? 

Republican leaders and pundits use the same argument every time they encounter voters 
who are unhappy with the direction from the top. They deny there is any type of division 
in their ranks and they rattle off a list of the same good things they have bragged about 
for years. Mention the bad things they forget to bring up and they tell you no one is 
perfect or the Democrats are worse. They tell you to just keep electing Republicans and 
trust them to do better than decades of results teach us to expect. This failure to address 
concerns has weakened the party and leaves it without appeal to the Independent swing 
voters who actually select the winners and losers. What weakens Republicans 
strengthens their opponents. 

The Socialists know this and they adapted to use our system against us. Evil they may be 
but dumb they are not. They waited until they had enough friendly front people placed 
then they launched into work behind the scenes in the shadowy corners of courts and 
departments where they can circumvent our elected representatives and make sweeping 
changes from within. They quietly went to work while Republicans focused on 
infighting and eating their own. This is a veritable feeding frenzy for them because the 
old style conservatives are completely off their game and they haven't the slightest clue 

55 



how to deal with it. They simply keep telling us we need a bigger win and more good 
election results next time. A system of elections only preserves a nation when the 
elections and the candidates are honest and fair. When filled with fraud and corruption 
the bad guys have all the advantages and the honest are left wondering what hit them. 
Socialists now depend upon us to do nothing more than trust to elections and they know 
how to render them useless. They adapt, we have responded by changing nothing. 

Repeating failed tactics. Again, a typically conservative act and the equivalent of 
beating a dead horse. For the past 30 years it is obvious that this voting habit isn't 
working. We persist in it because we have to isolate the new enemies as they develop 
before we can defend against them. Restorers are there, they have done this and they 
have no more faith in Republicans than they do in the Democrats. Political favor must 
never be granted, those who seek to lead must earn support through their deeds and 
consistent reliability. 

Section 6 

Congress to the Rescue! 

Our Founders were wise enough to establish a government with 3 separate branches 
capable of enforcing a balance of power between them so no single branch could 
achieve undue influence and disrupt the representative power of the People. That only 
works when the members of those 3 branches understand their purpose and care enough 
to keep that power in balance. When you have people filling those seats who are corrupt, 
mildly educated, poor thinkers or demonstrably stupid then the balance of power never 
seems to come up. 

The Supreme Court is there to say whether or not legal activities in our nation comply 
with Constitutional principles. This is critical for defense of the Constitution but that 
Court has become a political playground of ideologies and sentiments. Expediency of 
Court decisions can make or break entire industries resulting in the loss or preservation 
of millions of jobs and countless dollars. The Court doesn't care. They just poke along 

56 



looking down their holy noses and letting the nation squirm and falter while bad work 
from the other branches devastates the nation's economy. 

Why do these justices serve lifetime appointments? This was never the original intent 
when the Supreme Court was established. Article 3, Section 1 of our Constitution states 
that all Federal justices should hold their terms “during good behavior.” When was the 
last time one was removed for failing to adhere to the Constitution? Where are the 
checks and balances and why are these seats now lifetime appointments? 

Congress has the legal ability to balance the power of the Executive and Judicial 
branches yet they consistently abdicate that duty for no good reason. Now that an 
overwhelming number of damaging regulations, laws and orders have been 
implemented, the very nature of Congressional action makes it impossible for Congress 
to ever clean up the mess. This is not a criticism of their skills, it is just the nature of 
how Congress functions. 

Congress is structured to be a methodical body that has many steps to go through for 
every act they address. The Capital building is bristling with committees and every bill 
they work on goes through them. For example, consider an effort to repeal Obamacare. 
They can't just say, “Let's vote to repeal,” then take a vote. The repeal must be written 
and sponsored. After being written as a draft it goes in for the legalese treatment and 
emerges as a bill that is ready for distribution to the Congressmen. Often before the first 
draft can be written a bill can be kicked around, reshaped and resized in various 
committees while everyone decides just what to include or remove. The process can be 
expedited but it is very rare for this step to happen quickly. 

That is just one bill. If you are able to get that bill passed in the House it moves to the 
Senate. They look it over and often request changes, which means it can be sent back to 
the House for those changes. Once they get a version all can settle for it gets a vote in 
the Senate. On and on.... some bills get kicked around, gather add-ons (earmarks) and 
have large parts added or removed. Sometimes they just re-write details of the language. 
The end result is that it takes a lot of work and a necessary amount of time for anything 
to pass both Houses of Congress. Get it passed and it still needs the signature of the 
President to become law. If the President vetoes the bill it goes right back to Congress. 
At this point they can either acquire enough votes to override the Presidents veto or they 
can start over again writing in the changes they know it will take to gain the Presidents 
signature. Then they have to approve those changes. This is not a system designed for 
speed. 

57 



That done, they work on another bill. This is where committees really show their 
strength. There is good reason for members to covet the power of committee 
assignments. It is the committees that develop most details for most legislation. Outside 
input, usually from lobbyists representing powerful interests, comes into play and 
committee members are favorite targets of all who have an interest in specific intent or 
function of a bills reach. 

Legislative bills stack up, it is easy to see why. Everybody wants something and there is 
no limit to the numbers of those who would desire an opportunity to affect each bill in 
the pipeline. The schedule for debate fills up and solid support is required just to get a 
bill into the schedule for a debate and a vote. A bill can be killed simply by not allowing 
it into the schedule, it happens all the time. 

So, here we are, problems are stacked so deep our representatives could not wade 
through them even if they did try. We must be reasonable with what we now expect 
Congress to accomplish. It is difficult to work through this complicated process and 
there are 535 people in there that must all come together for progress. To expect great 
things or dramatic results simply is not logical. Any progress that is made in the 
direction Constitutional Patriots desire will come only after hard fought fights and a 
great deal of negotiating. Elections do not replace Congress. Most members of a new 
Congress will still be the old members that have been there for years, they don't go 
away. Hundreds of the same people always return. 

Just what can we expect? We can expect fights, more fights and plenty of 
gamesmanship. Meanwhile, other bills are being drafted and tossed into the stew. Most 
add new expenses and very few ever reach the floor containing real cuts of any kind. 

Where does this leave us? It depends, what would you like Congress to accomplish? To 
restore the Constitution? Yes, how do they do so? They forced a rule requiring that all 
new bills pass Constitutional muster before debate but what about all of the existing 
laws and policies that are already violating our Constitution? They will remain and 
Congress, once again, can only address them on an individual basis. 

The point is, when Congress opens with a few new members we must be realistic with 
our expectations. To expect more than they can deliver is the first step toward blaming 
them for failure once almost none of our goals are achieved. Congress is Congress, 
nothing more. There is only so much they can do and none of it is easy or fast. How 
determined are they to actually fix anything? It is common for them to take lengthy 
vacations when we have burning issues that need immediate attention. How often have 
we seen them argue about senseless trivial matters while staggering problems are not 
addressed? They do not conduct their business in a way that inspires confidence. 

58 



To truly restore America we must look beyond Congress and realize that the corruption 
and anti-Constitutional policies are coming from every level of our governments. Focus 
on Congress and you will be ignoring all of the other sources of our woes. Consider the 
TSA mess. That is coming from bureaucrats and the Dept. of Homeland Security. 
Congress is an outsider and can only jump in by creating legislation to combat these 
security policies. How long would it take to wrangle THAT through committees and into 
a signed bill, signed by the President? Good luck with that. 

Never forget; while Democrats are famous for grabbing power and trampling our Rights, 
it was Republicans that created the bloated, dysfunctional and dangerous Department of 
Homeland Security. (With great support from Congress) 

Sending the right people to Congress is just a step along the way toward the goal. There 
are many other steps necessary and they require removing corruption and officials who 
trample the Constitution from all areas of government. 

We should begin looking at how we can remove the corrupt officials and put a halt to the 
dangerous nonsense they are unleashing on us. We must be fair and understand Congress 
cannot work miracles. Support them when they are right, hold their feet to the fire but 
don't expect more than is truly possible. It is now up to us to continue this fight but on 
all fronts and against all corrupt officials. 

Do not let up, do not slow down. The restoration of our Constitution is still our goal and 
we are just getting warmed up. We have shown some strength in a good start but we 
have a long way to go.

Section 7 

Military Leaders-Past and Present 

We have thousands of people in this nation that have sworn oaths to protect and defend 
this nation against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That number may be in the 
millions. Every person who ever swore that oath now has the opportunity to become a 
Restorer and fulfill that oath. Every politician who swore an oath, every military officer, 
all of them are looking the other way while they know our government is filled with 
corruption and destroying the nation one piece at a time. Private conversations have 
convinced me many military leaders, past and present, are not happy with the direction 
of our parties and political leaders but they are wise enough to hope for a peaceful 
process of restoration. Restorers provide that. 

Domestic enemies are now causing more extensive damage to our Constitutional 
principles, our success and our future than any foreign enemy ever could. Our military 
people who have sworn an oath have no leaders to assist peaceful restoration of our 
Constitutional Republic. Most of our politicians who swear an oath just don't care, 
they're in it for themselves. But what of our military leaders? We have citizens today 
who fear an out of control government may institute Martial Law at some point to 
enforce the new socialism. They also fear the military will willingly follow these orders. 
These fears exist because military leaders are silent on issues that threaten our 
Constitutional law even though they have sworn an oath to defend it. 

There are national groups that tell us they will honor their oaths before our nation is lost. 
Evidently they have a strange definition of lost. I have spoken with some of their 
national leaders asking them just what they wait for. They wait for a Reckoning. They 
have a Hollywood logic believing that once our society breaks down and chaos reigns 
they will step in and take charge making it all better again. Their plan is that once all 
bets are off, they place their bet and play their cards. They have no plan for protecting 
the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. They believe that after the enemies 
ruin us they can remove them and restore us from the ashes. It is safe to say we can 
forget about relying upon them to avoid the Reckoning they hope will leave them in 
power. 

The military leaders, past and present say that it is not their place to interfere. Fine, why 
did they bother with the oath in the first place? I'm guessing it was the only way they 

60 



could move to a higher pay grade. The only active duty military people I know of who I 
believe are sincere about restoring America by removing corruption are rank and file 
members who live with the damage affecting their lives right now. The top brass must 
set an example for them now too. When the families of their soldiers are hurting due to 
the corruption and transgressions of the government they swore an oath to uphold, then 
sworn officers are failing in their duty to defend those soldiers. 

Too many top officers rely upon political connections for advancement and this 
interferes with their dedication to their oath. This is a problem that occurs in the military 
after years of no large scale conflict. The top officers are appointed political artists 
instead of duty bound Patriots. That is why every time a big war erupts we suffer 
unnecessary losses until these political appointees are replaced by those who are 
actually qualified to lead in crunch-time. The deep seated ties between our military 
leadership and the 2 old parties must be challenged before top officers can fully honor 
their oaths. They can begin by joining us as Restorers. This is an opportunity for them 
which I believe many of them will welcome. I know they struggle with how to protect 
this nation within yet do so by peaceful means. Here is their chance.

Section 8 

Citizen Leaders 

The patriotic citizens who are willing and able to develop leadership roles are currently 
our best hope for restoring our nation and avoiding a Reckoning. I count the 
aforementioned local radio hosts among them. Some of these people are Tea Party 
activists, some are buried in local issues like school messes, some are involved in city or 
county parties and politics while others work online through a variety of websites and 
social media outlets. The old rule that nature abhors a vacuum is at work here. Since 
there are so many sharp people who cannot find 

61 



the leaders they know we need many are rising up on their own. This can be good for the 
process but that depends on the true motives of those who act. 

It is very troubling to discover that many who manage web based groups are doing it to 
build their wealth or pursuing personal quests for validating their egos. Watch for this 
and avoid these people, they are easy to spot. First of all they will only work with others 
who defer to them. They will work with those who take orders from them or pay to play. 
I have seen this. I have seen large groups who refuse to assist others unless they buy 
advertising first. I have seen groups titled with names, “United, Union, Patriots and 
American” who do not work with others unless they can use them to gain prestige or 
larger memberships. Avoid those who will not work with others. Avoid all who are 
combative or bellicose. Avoid those whose leaders care more about becoming famous 
than actually helping the nation. Learn to spot those who are sincere enough to work 
with all who share a common, greater goal. Those are people you want to work with. 

Pet projects can be a stumbling block, watch for them too. Some people are dedicated to 
addressing the symptoms or isolated battles in this overall struggle. They will badger 
you to help eliminate or change the 14th, 16th or 17th Amendments. They will ask that you 
focus all energy on supporting the 10th Amendment. They tell you they want help 
reclaiming an old party. Not one of these pet issues, even if justifiable, will help a nation 
whose government still remains top to bottom corrupt. I have received 5 separate plans 
for new Amendments, most enforcing demands that the rest be adhered to. Why make a 
new rule against those who break existing rules? Is that logical? If the leaders are too 
corrupt to follow the old rules you fire them, not make another rule for them to break. 

Pet issues are not to be dismissed, this battle should be fought on every front but as a 
united effort and not to the exclusion of other issues. Work on your 10th Amendment 
efforts but don't isolate yourself. Be the Restorer that is handling that end of the struggle. 
Go after the repeal of the 17th if you wish but again, as the Restorer leading that fight. 
We are all working toward the same goal and we must have a team, a common thread 
running through our combined efforts that shows our unity of purpose and combines our 
numbers into a force of consequence. The people working on other fronts with the same 
goal are not your opposition, they are your partners in the bigger picture. You are all 
Restorers and every battle is important. Embrace and support other Restorers. Our 
opponents want us to be divided, we cannot help them achieve it. 

62 



You can easily find great people to work with who are sincere about being responsible 
Patriots struggling to save the nation we love. They are sickened by a government 
staffed by self serving lawbreakers and they want the Constitution restored. They want 
leaders with integrity and they support them when they find them. These are the people 
who will do us the most good. These are the people I know as Restorers. Some work 
alone, some run groups or operate within others. As they lead the way to identifying 
other Restorers they are laying the groundwork for saving this nation instead of just 
talking about it. They are our friends of today and our heroes of the future. They deserve 
our help. 

These days with everything such a mess the search for leaders is desperate. Many people 
have attempted to jump in and try it themselves. After turning over 1/6th of Congress we 
have proof that some people are very good at being local leaders. They just showed up 
out of nowhere and got the job done. I hope these people have enough sensible Restorers 
in their ranks that understand the power that can be assembled by uniting efforts. Right 
now this bunch is the only people I have faith in, they follow their hearts and they 
exemplify the concept of the determined free citizen in action. I love these people and I 
can identify with them. They get up and do something and they won big in 2010 while 
telling the old major parties to shut up and leave them alone. That is about as American 
as you can get. Now they need to unite and work together and win bigger battles. 

Section 9 

50 States: 50 Examples of Failure 

Nothing demonstrates how people will trade power and rights away for money more 
clearly than an examination of our states and how they crawl on their bellies to the 
trough of federal dollars. Have you ever watched someone feed a flock of hens? Toss out 
a few morsels and those hens will follow you wherever you wander ignoring all that 
happens around them. Do it often enough and they get to where they don't try too hard 
on their own, they just wait for the hand with the bucket. That is about all we need to 
know about the Federal/State relationships today. States may squawk a bit now and then 
but they gladly forfeit their independence for a spot near the bucket. 

Federal corruption has produced a bit more squawking from states lately. States played 

63 



along fat and happy never complaining about the failures of the feds to hold up their 
duties as long as there was enough money to go around. State governments became so 
addicted to federal funds they played along relinquishing powers and independence 
guaranteed by the 10th Amendment. Now the states are broke and burdened by debts 
incurred by the failures and so, the squawking grows louder. Better late than never. 
Citizens of all 50 states would be wise to work locally to separate the powers of the 
federal government from the workings of their own. States that have decided to show 
strength alone have found themselves to be targets of power plays and lawsuits from the 
federal government who is reluctant to walk away from authority they have no legal 
right to wield. This will not grow less with time. The best way for states to reclaim their 
Constitutional powers within their own borders is for all 50 to resist decisively in 
unison. There is no way they could lose. No way, if they have any leaders. Find them, 
dig them up or become one. Lead the Restorers for your own state and kick Washington 
power grabs back to the Constitutional corners of DC where they belong. 

Which state government has the integrity and fortitude to set the example and reach out 
to others to follow suit? Will it be yours? Surely one out of 50 states in this nation has 
enough sensible Patriots to get this ball rolling. Which state will lead? Which state's 
citizens will heed the call and say that Restorers are needed to make their state the first 
to draw a firm stance on their legal 10th Amendment rights? Where are the leaders who 
love their states? 

Which state will become the first State of Restoration for America? 
Where are the leaders today?

Addendum 


This is another excerpt from the original booklet, 20 Turns. It has also been updated to 
reflect the changing political dynamics of our times. 

The Generation of Shame?


 Is that us? Are we the ones that will let our kids and our ancestors down? Will we be 
complacent, give up the struggle and sit idly by while our Constitution is abused and our 
rights suppressed for all time? Make no mistake, a right and power lost to government is 
almost impossible to restore. Are we the ones that left home to build our own lives and 
watched from the sidelines while the wealth, freedom and opportunity of this great 
nation are plundered? Will we find ourselves living in the squalor of government run 
retirement compounds thinking “Wow, we really blew it!” 

 Do we have the courage to do our duty or do we deserve the legacy of the downfall 
of our own beloved homeland? Brave soldiers have fought and died for this power of the 
voter and the freedom to choose. Founders risked, and many lost, their lives and fortunes 
to create this for us. Are we the ones that will put party politics ahead of the sacrifice of 
those who prepared our pathway? If you think this Congress in Crisis or the next 
election will save us then you can stop reading here. 

We can act now or we will become the "Generation of Shame." 

I don't know a single responsible voter of any party that wants that on their conscience. 
I don't know a responsible voter of any party that doesn't hope for a secure income, a 
home of their own and an opportunity for their kids and grandkids to become 
successful. We all want the same things but there isn't much agreement on how to get 
there. One thing is certain, no matter how much the government spends, We the People 
are still watching our nation, our Constitution and our way of life disintegrate. 

We must all accept a part of the blame. We got busy with our own lives and trusted the 
elected officials too much. While we were working and focusing on our lives we let our 
guard down and wound up electing a rat's nest of incompetent and self-serving people. 
The parties fed us lousy candidates who've become lousy leaders. The parties do not 
seek out the individuals that can and will do the most good for the nation. They back the 

65 



most loyal party dogs with the most marketable persona. They choose to back the 
candidates that will do the most good for the party, not the people back home. We are 
left to hold our noses and vote for people we don't even want. Sure, we can write in 
anyone we choose, but no one wins like that. We are usually stuck with the choices the 
parties give us, and those people care more about the party that backed them than 
addressing our real life issues, and it is getting worse every day. 

Our government is much like a large company or any other organization. However, we 
always have some degree of input selecting the leaders who manage our fate. The 
difference is that a business manager who fails is booted out. Why do we have career 
politicians running the show instead of experienced business people that understand 
management, the economy and the value of a dollar? Unskilled professional politicians 
instead of experienced citizen politicians? Our founders gave us the system we need to 
change our managers but the parties don't give us real options. The same people keep 
screwing things up but they stay in so long they gain great power just because they 
master the game of campaign funding and re-election. They fail, and instead of 
correcting their mistakes they move on and foul up something else. If we had a real 
opportunity to select wise experienced leaders things could be much better. We need to 
provide an opportunity for talented individuals to go to Washington, take care of some 
real problems then return to the private sector to pick up where they left off. That way, 
intelligent people are making decisions that they too will be forced to live with. Career 
politicians are insulated from their blunders because they dig in and suck up the big pay 
checks and benefits regardless of how bad the rest of us are doing because of them. They 
build fantastic pensions so they can retire fat and happy after damaging our 
opportunities for doing the same for ourselves. 

In the last election I was able to cast 2 votes that I felt good about, the rest was all a 
matter of choosing the lesser of 2 evils. Still, I vote. Then I watch the creep of 
socialism, our taxes wasted and the economy falling apart. Over the years I have voted 
as I watched family farms destroyed, rural America slowly dying, homes lost, businesses 
closed, food and fuel prices skyrocketing, education failing, nation building and poorly 
managed wars, trade deficits going through the roof, manufacturing leaving the country 
and opportunities for success dwindle. I vote but taxes creep up and we all lose the 
pleasure of freedom and opportunity. We vote and then watch the people we elect ignore 
the Constitution that made this country so great. This is not what I vote for. This is not 
what any of us vote for. 

66 



When a business person has a bad employee hurting the company he must drop 
everything and take that employee to task. That is why the Town Hall meetings have 
become so popular with voters. People are taking time to address some bad employee 
issues. It is good that people are speaking out because if the officials do not serve us 
they are serving themselves and the parties. Make your voice heard and hit them with 
the issues that matter to you. Do not stop there, resist their efforts to tell you what you 
should care about. Do not allow them to set the agenda because they always have an 
angle that serves them more than us. We cast our votes and send them to office, we must 
demand that they serve us well when they take the seat. 

We must demand that we are served by real leaders with real intelligence, private sector 
experience and most of all, principles and integrity. We will certainly become the 
Generation of Shame if we do not start right now and force an end to the stranglehold of 
power held by these 2 major parties and career politicians. 

Some will say this cannot be done, that we will never get everyone to agree. Of, course 
some people will object, that is their right and their opinion deserves respect. However, 
we don't need everybody to agree, all we need is the support of those who understand 
what must be done. That is enough. We only need sufficient numbers of people who are 
frustrated, concerned and able to think for themselves. These people already exist. Our 
job now is to reach out to them, overcome the decades of brainwashing by the 2 party 
stalwarts and move ahead working together unencumbered by old party baggage. We 
have the people, the next step is to unite them. We need to focus now that a solution is 
available. 

The approval ratings of Congress hover around 8%, that tells me there are more 
disaffected voters than the parties lead us to believe. I firmly believe we control the 
numbers of an undeniable mandate. We can muster strength by helping voters to 
remember what it means to be an American. We are the nation that proved the power of 
the people can lead to freedom and success. The Americans of the past who 
accomplished this were no different than us. Some were scared, some were angry, some 
were even oblivious but the fact is, when the right people come together determined to 
get positive results and refusing to back down, they have always won. 

Entrenched leaders and the corrupted parties will face an uphill battle to prevent us from 
taking back our nation. I maintain that honorable leaders would not resist the will of We 
the People. Honorable leaders would step aside at our request. What possible 
justification can they offer for standing against the will of a group determined to 

67 



adhere to our Constitution? Any resistance they can put forth is is baseless. 

They brought this on themselves, with our help. We are willing to fix our mistakes and 
we will learn who among them will stand in our way. There are a few good leaders 
sprinkled around in positions of power. Those few will unite with us and continue to 
serve faithfully. This movement will provide an opportunity for all leaders and potential 
leaders to examine their priorities and follow their true hearts. It will give us the 
opportunity to observe their choice and know them by their action. 

We want our Constitution back and we want it NOW! We refuse to become the 
Generation of Shame that loses this nation because we failed to stand united against the 
corruption, crony-ism and self-serving party politics. We are at a turning point for 
America; we must be the ones who choose our new direction. We have but 2 paths ahead 
from this unfortunate place we now know we have been forced into. We can continue as 
we are doing, as we have done for decades, and we will become the Generation of 
Shame or we can stand strong as others have done in our past. We must unite as 
Restorers, breathing new life into our battered Constitutional Republic as we unleash the 
American Spirit and prepare ourselves for a new future of freedom and prosperity. 

Refuse to be part of the shame.

The American Restorer Party 


The mission of the American Restorer Party is to ensure the integrity of our nation as 
a Constitutional Republic is restored, preserved and protected for future generations. 

Section 1 

It's Party Time In America! 

Our Constitution contains no original language regarding political parties. No party is 
named, no guidelines exist. Citizens, known as, “The People,” were mentioned 
frequently in the Constitution. We had Rights, powers and freedoms guaranteed to us in 
the Constitution. So, why do we, who had guarantees, now have less power than 
political parties who were never even mentioned? Our Founders operated with the 
intention that literal interpretation of the Constitution was sufficient as a starting point 
for all political actions to come. Within this basic framework of guaranteed Rights for 
citizens, and well defined limited powers of government, lay the foundation for a new 
system where leaders served at the consent of the People they were chosen to represent. 

Political parties developed as a vehicle for identifying the basic ideologies among our 
people and providing organizations useful for uniting like minded citizens with 
candidates and elected representatives who share those ideologies. 

As our society has grown and evolved, political parties have come and gone. Old parties 
have lost the support of voters and been replaced by new parties demonstrated to be 
more attentive to the will of the voters. Parties of the past who failed to keep abreast of 
the ever-changing dynamics of the People's concerns have been replaced by new parties 
with leaders who were astute enough to perceive the will of the People and act to take us 
in new directions. This process is a healthy exercise in free citizens maintaining control 

69 



over representative government because it disrupts the ever growing power of parties 
and unscrupulous politicians who take advantage of the power these parties acquire. 

We now find ourselves in the unfortunate situation of having our process dominated by 2 
extremely powerful parties managed by persons who take voters for granted as they 
operate for the benefit of those parties, ignoring the best interests of our nation and 
Constitutional integrity of our government. The only power a political party has in 
America is that which is provided them by the votes, volunteer efforts and financial 
donations from citizens. Parties, good or bad, exist because we sustain them. 

Our major political parties today both have clearly stated positions on a wide variety of 
issues. The problem is the candidates and officials who benefit from allegiance to these 
parties do not adhere to the stated positions. This is compounded by the fact party 
officials fail to effectively address these deviations unless the power of the party or their 
ability to obtain donations is compromised. 

We are now at a perilous crossroads for our Constitutional Republic and we face the 
very real possibility of witnessing an irreversible decline in our world position and 
opportunities for freely achieving and sustaining our traditionally high standard of 
living. We look to our political parties to provide us with potential leaders who share our 
concerns, ambitions and political ideologies only to find those parties self-serving and 
unreliable. 

We have found these parties accept and promote any candidate who may bring success, 
power and money to the party regardless of how that candidate is likely to embrace or 
reject the party's stated positions. Once a candidate wins a position the parties cease to 
encourage others to replace them even if they prove to be ineffective or poor 
representatives of their constituents. The parties only concern themselves with placing 
members to strengthen the party, not providing quality leadership. This is a monumental 
disservice to the voting public which depends upon the parties to promote standards for 
basic political philosophies of membership. 

There are currently dozens of registered political parties in the U.S.. Most are not 
noticeably active and the few that come to mind are predominantly quirky fringe groups 
with radical ideas. Occasionally a movement will gain enough traction to advance a 3rd 
party candidate but in recent memory most have been amusing distractions promoting a 

70 



single candidate for a single race. Not one has entered the arena of ideas with enough 
palatable substance to generate a serious challenge to either major party. 

We are at the precipice of catastrophic global upheavals and the leaders we have were 
unable to avoid it or were instrumental in bringing these troubles to us. The multitude of 
travails already upon us, and those yet to come, are not being accurately portrayed or 
discussed in entirety by most politicians or party officials. The stated policies of both 
major parties are lax in addressing the full scope of what will befall us if the leaders they 
support fail us. We face the eruption of a Reckoning and they still carry on with the 
same tried and true rants that have brought them past success at the polls. We have 
experienced a rapid decline in every measure of our success as a nation and they give us 
new versions of 30 year old speeches and promises. Among citizens there is a strong 
national movement for a return to our Constitutional principles and freedoms that 
served us so well in our years of success. That same movement has not taken root within 
our political parties, our leadership or the majority of new candidates. We have been 
forced to battle our own parties as fervently as we battle our opponents. 

It is time to establish a new political party in America and it is time to let the old major 
parties know we have lost confidence in their sincerity and ability to represent us. There 
is no need to concern ourselves with who may be drawn to a viable new party. We 
already have millions of voters who love this nation, respect our Constitution and are 
intelligent enough to know we have been abandoned by the parties of our past. 

Millions of voters have already left the Democrat and Republican parties and are tired of 
holding their noses and having to vote for one or the other. It is no longer the kooky 
fringe voters who need a party they can identify with. Well informed citizens who put 
the nation ahead of party politics have no place to go. Voters who would like to see a 
party putting principles ahead of gamesmanship have no place to go. People who would 
like to see a party that withdraws support from candidates who violate their oath of 
office or fail to effectively represent constituents have no place to go. People who are 
tired of asking for entire federal departments to be closed, our borders to be sealed, our 
tax code to be tossed out and an end to overspending have no place to go. 

People who demand that our Constitutional principles be restored as the precise and 
ultimate law of our land have no place to go. People who are tired of corruption, tired of 
seeing criminals in offices who are never removed or prosecuted and tired of knowing 

71 



mysterious individuals with stacks of money have more influence in Washington DC 
than voters do have no place to go. People who are tired of watching as the federal 
government extends its power to every corner of our lives and our state and local 
governments pile regulations and obstructions on our lives and businesses have no place 
to go. People who are tired of the stranglehold the old parties and entrenched career 
politicians have on our government have no place to go. Elected officials and candidates 
who are tired of being forcibly coerced, undermined, back-stabbed or ignored by the 
parties have no place else to go. 

The great lie of our current 2 party system is that we can throw out our officials 
(especially Congress) every time we have an election. Nothing could be further from the 
truth but I still hear this frequently. Many very popular pundits even repeat this 
nonsense, no wonder the country is such a mess! How are Republicans supposed to 
replace bad Republicans? Vote for a Democrat? Are the Democrats supposed to vote for 
Republicans to get the changes they want? Angry or not, few people will switch between 
R & D. What has either party done that would tempt thinking people to switch sides? 
Don't try to tell me we can elect new people anytime we choose when we all know the 
parties use their great power against us to protect their seated puppets. 

We need a party of our own so we can start voting for something good instead of the 
lesser of 2 evils. Hard core Republicans and Democrats will tell you it cannot be done, 
even though the people who started their parties were told the same thing. Old style 
party drones who may never wake up will tell you it cannot be done. People will try to 
remind you about the loony fringe candidates of the past and draw comparisons without 
ever waiting to learn what you are talking about. There is a “can't do” attitude 
perpetuated by masters of the major parties and unfortunately there are some easily 
corralled voters who fall for it. They can take their sheep-like attitudes and stay out of 
our way while we do something more than just complaining and getting ignored. 

You will find those who are averse to starting fresh have no practical plan for 
accomplishing what must be done. You will find them sticking with old parties for 
awhile like a kid clinging to the edge of a pool until they see everyone else swimming 
away from them. These party drones have no leadership skills and are destined to be 
permanent herd followers. Do not frustrate yourself trying to win them over until after 
some progress is made. Right now we need the sharp people capable of abstract thought 
and making intelligent decisions on their own. 

72 



The majority of people who consider themselves constitutional patriots have already 
made changes in their lives that directly reflect their concerns about where we are and 
where this nation is headed. How many people have stopped watching news on the 
networks they grew up with because those programs contribute to our socialist decline? 
How many people have become so disgusted with the socialist/liberal agenda in our 
public schools they have chosen to homeschool or pay huge sums for private schooling? 
How many people have backed off from relationships with friends, churches, neighbors 
or even family members because of strong differences of opinion over the country's 
issues? I know people who have done all of these things yet every one of them is still 
forced to vote old party for lack of a better choice. And virtually ALL of them are now 
disgusted with what they have learned to expect from the old parties. They will walk 
away from a church, friends and a school system, they are surely smart enough to know 
when it is time to walk away from a political party for the same reasons. 

Should we be surprised at the decline of our nation when we keep contributing our 
dollars and votes to the parties that helped get us here? 

Never be discouraged. Despair is the enemy of ambition and progress. There are plenty 
of the right people around who will be eager to finally work toward real solutions. The 
goal of this Restorer project is to find these people and provide a place for them to work 
together on a variety of fronts. We already have the need. We already have the intelligent 
energized people who realize something big better happen fast. Something big can start 
right now, you can help by starting today. Look what happened in the 2010 elections, we 
replaced over 80 Congressmen. Sure, the career dogs and establishment party powers 
shut them down on arrival but I firmly believe when we show strength, many of the 80 
new Congressmen will be joining us too. We certainly will not be alone. We already 
have some powerful radio/media voices who agree and are committed to helping us. 

Real solutions, that is all we are looking for. Solutions and a chance to feel positive 
about where we are headed. Negativity has prevailed for years in the hearts and minds of 
too many voters. This is no way to live but most people have very negative opinions of 
our parties and politicians. Enough of that! Instead of worrying and feeling bad about 
what is happening, instead of wondering what we can do, let's do the obvious. Let us 
take back our power, our government and our nation by taking power away from the 
parties and people who think they can do as they please. Let us rise up against these 
people who believe we are already defeated. Let us use our Constitutional Rights and 
freedoms to reject those who are taking both from us. 

73 



Winning elections with American Restorer Party candidates is important but not 
enough. We need to respond at every level, on every front including demanding, then 
forcing, the resignations of those we already know are corrupt or even criminal. It is not 
uncommon for people to resign or retire from office. Let us unite as Restorers and start 
demanding it. We are NOT a nation of dupes who pay criminals to shaft us and destroy 
our future. 

Scared people, weak people and easily led sheeple will say this cannot be done. Let 
them. We are Americans. No one should ever underestimate what us American People 
are capable of doing. 

Some people still have to learn just being disgusted is not enough. Complaining and 
discovering more evidence of tyranny and corruption is not enough. We are tired of the 
old parties who ignore us when they're not lying to us to get our votes, Restorers are 
going to do more than be disgusted. We are going to throw them out. We want a Party 
that respects voters and the Constitution, we will build our own and it won't be hard to 
do. There are too many good people ready, willing and able. If we can't build a better 
Party than we now have we deserve to lose our country. I refuse to believe that is the 
case, we can surely do this. Especially since the rotten manipulators who corrupt parties 
from the inside already have career jobs. They won't be getting in our way. 

With the support and input from the type of Americans I have met across this nation I 
know our success is assured. You cannot defeat millions of people who are battling for 
their nation, their lives and the future of their families. Everything we've been saying we 
wish we could get from a Party we will now build into our own Party. This is going to 
get interesting.

Section 2 

Where Do We Start? 

We must enter this discussion with the shared determination to correct the wrongs 
perpetuated by the parties of the past. To accomplish this we must possess the resolve 
to pursue our demands with unity and actions. We are not here to lament the loss of 
our nation and discuss our decline. We are moving ahead to reverse our direction and 
restore the Rights, freedoms and greatness of these United States. 
We will not be deterred. We will create a new birth of freedom. 


We already started. When millions of people feel we are not being represented, that is a 
start. The next thing to do is make some decisions. 
Are you a Restorer or not? 
Have you lost all confidence in the integrity of both major parties or not? 
Are you ready to fire corrupt and criminal leaders or not? 
Are you serious about restoring our Constitutional Republic and preserving America for 
future generations or not? 


Now, the next thing to consider is just what would the party platform look like? Which 
issues do we tackle first? Where do we begin in order to make a big difference quickly? 
First, we must get on record as to who we are and let the nation know there is a new 
force of change to be dealt with. A new sheriff in town. We have to let them know we 
are here, we are serious and we are fully aware of our Right to maintain citizen control 
of our governments. We included a later chapter about Restorer Action and much more 
will be available through our website. Right now, let's consider the issues and positions 
to start with. 


After a lot of deliberation we decided to resist the temptation of proposing a skeletal 
platform to begin with which we could flesh out as we grow. That is just not the way to 
go about it. Even the most basic draft of a platform should be done from grassroot level 
up, and decided by vote among representatives of members. County level groups and 
state level groups must be organized and offer their input to the national committee. 
Organizers, donors and people experienced working with them will be needed. You can 
be certain there are plenty who do not feel their past efforts have yielded the results they 
were after. There are Restorers among them who will be with us. 


75 



There are hundreds of issues that must be addressed but we cannot focus on the 
symptoms of corruption as we begin. We must focus on the sources of our ills and 
preventing more damage while demanding the restoration of the Constitution. Focusing 
on the causes means we will have to commit to working together for the immediate 
removal of some very bad leaders at every level of government. There will be many 
cases where local Restorer groups will need to address problems at city, county or state 
levels. Again, restoration requires action at all levels and each front is important to the 
complete success of our effort. Not only elected officials but some who sit at our court 
benches and run our bloated bureaucracies will have to go. We will work together to 
decide where our best efforts must be applied and what actions we take. We are 
Americans with government that is to serve at our consent, we have every Right to do 
this. 

Now, to begin we must to have something in writing as a starting point or we have 
nothing. Next you will find a list of basic philosophies and suggestions for the direction 
of the American Restorer Party. This list is in no particular order of importance and it is 
all open to discussion and debate, as it should be. As input is considered we must adapt 
to reflect the will of members but commitment to removing corruption and restoring the 
Constitution must remain as core principles. 

Section 3 

The Discussion Begins.... 

There will be 2 categories of action and all aspects of our effort will involve one, most 
will require both. The first type of action will be citizen action by members of our party. 
The other category is legislative action which will need to be accomplished as we begin 
to identify or seat elected officials who are with us as Restorers. This, along with how 
we fire sitting officials is discussed in greater detail in our next book. First, a Party. 

We demand that our elected leaders conduct all affairs of government in precise 
accordance with the Constitution of the United States or be removed immediately. An 
oath of office that is not enforced is pointless. 

76 



We believe that we have been blessed with the worlds best system of free government 
but that system is now at risk from leaders who are abandoning our Constitution and 
developing laws, policies, rules and regulations that are not in the best interest of 
America. 

We believe the first duty of a political party in the United States is to uphold and defend 
Constitutional Law and principles in all aspects of government at every level. 
Furthermore, we believe all who wish to serve in elected office should willingly submit 
to basic testing to determine that they have a functional knowledge of the Constitution 
they swear an oath to uphold. All American Restorer Party candidates will do so before 
gaining support of the Party. 

We insist that all Rights guaranteed protection by the Bill of Rights are our birthright as 
American citizens and no attempt to infringe upon, suppress or limit these Rights will be 
acceptable to members of the American Restorer Party. 

We believe that the wealth, charity and prosperity of this nation are the result of free and 
industrious citizens working without the interference and burden of an oppressive 
government. 

We believe that our Constitution made this great nation the worlds leader of freedom and 
opportunity and we will preserve our Constitution and the freedoms of our nation for all 
future generations. 

We believe it is the duty of a political party to monitor the conduct of all candidates and 
elected officials under their banner and publicly denounce and withdraw support from 
those who make no attempt to maintain the basic ideology of the party. This will be a 
fairly administered, routine practice of the American Restorer Party. 

We believe an honest election process, free of fraud and corruption, is an extremely 
crucial aspect of a representative form of government. Voter fraud, deliberate 
miscounting or rejection of legitimate ballots and intimidation at the polls must be 
treated as serious criminal felonies prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law in all cases. 
A system that will not protect and defend the integrity of the voting process is not 
acceptable to us and must be corrected. 

77 



We believe that our government should operate with transparent representation. The 
appointment of Czars who report directly to the President must be permanently banned. 
The American Restorer Party is adamantly opposed to the establishment of any form of 
special administration that operates in secret and reports directly to the President or his 
inner circle bypassing Congressional review and oversight. This practice introduces a 
great risk for abuse of powers while avoiding public scrutiny. 

We insist that all city, county and state governments and, under their jurisdiction, all 
courts, departments and agencies shall protect Constitutional Rights and promote the 
freedoms and equal application of all laws, rules and regulations. 

We believe statistics measured and provided to us by the government must be accurate 
and honest. Unemployment numbers that do not count all workers without jobs, inflation 
statistics that do not include the rising cost of food and fuels are just 2 examples of 
numbers manipulated in order to mislead us and make officials appear more successful. 
A government that lies to us should be re-staffed. The American Restorer Party will 
only use the most complete and accurate numbers available. 

We believe in equal application of all laws and our government officials are subject to 
the same laws and penalties as they have chosen to impose upon us. A variety of crimes 
have been committed, or are worthy of investigation, at top levels of our federal 
government. We want to see some thorough investigations followed by ambitious 
prosecution for all criminals who have contributed to our losses. If Justice still exists in 
the United States, we have some federal officials who can expect to spend time in 
prison. We need to send a message through the back rooms of Washington D.C., your 
corruption will not be excused. 

Various government officials at all levels are waging a war of oppression against 
Christianity in America. The 1st Amendment very clearly states that, “Congress shall 
make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” Read this word by word, it refers 
to Congress making laws to prefer or establish a religion. It does instruct the government 
to suppress Christianity in every corner of the nation they can reach. This Amendment 
follows by stating, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The courts and officials 
who limit the expression of our Christian faith in any way are in direct violation of this, 
our first guaranteed Right of our Constitutional Bill of Rights. The American Restorer 

78 



Party is opposed to the establishment of a theocracy but adamantly opposed to laws, 
rulings and regulations which violate our 1st Amendment Right to freely express our 
religion when, where and how we choose. Every such rule across this nation must be 
rescinded if we are to have a nation based on Constitutional principles. 

We believe the practice of providing pensions and benefits for members of Congress is 
wrong and must be stopped. Pensions and benefits are established to retain valued 
employees and enable them to remain for lifelong careers. Our Congress was intended to 
be staffed by citizen politicians who are elected from among us, serve then return to the 
private sector to live and work with the results of their actions in office. We believe that 
government, “by the People, for the People,” was stolen from us when Congress 
bestowed a system of lavish pensions and benefits upon themselves against our wishes. 
Citizen representatives were supplanted by professional career politicians. 
The corrupt system of pensions and benefits must be immediately abolished and 
eventually followed up with a Constitutional Amendment establishing term limits for 
Congress. 

Several complete Cabinet level departments of our bloated federal government should 
be shut down and their powers relegated to the states. Doing so will return powers to the 
states, reduce wasteful spending and help to decentralize power which the federal 
government never had the right to grant itself. There must be an honest, open discussion 
about which departments to abolish and how to effect a smooth transition for the shift of 
authority to the states. We have ideas but but will wait for public input before moving 
ahead. 

The IRS is the most abusive and despised agency of our government. The tax codes they 
enforce are a minefield of political manipulations so complicated they are not fully 
understood by those who write the code or oversee its application. Tax laws are intended 
to fund the operation of government but are too frequently manipulated to influence 
behavior and activities of citizens and businesses in accordance with political agendas. 
We must end the 25 year old discussion of replacing our tax codes by acting to establish 
either a Fair Tax or Flat Tax plan, whichever the majority of People support. A severe 
abuse of power now exists because federal officials are able to wield the power of the 
IRS as a political weapon rendering this department an effective “Federal Department of 
Revenge.” The new tax code should be administered by a new Department staffed by 
new administrators. A suggestion would be the establishment of 

79 



an agency titled “The Department of Financial Contributions.” It must always be 
remembered that federal money is money taken from the People. 

On the subject of titles and terminology, we have seen the federal government exercise 
altered terminology to influence public perception of issues. This is a move not 
unnoticed by the American Restorer Party. The term, “Islamic terror attack” was 
abolished from the federal lexicon and orders were issued to begin using the term, “Man 
caused disasters.” Now that the ability to construct and apply influential terminology 
has been established, we suggest the following: Abolish the use of the term, 
“Government financed” and replace it with, “Financed by tax payers of America.” It is 
fair and just that those who pay receive full credit for their contributions, lest we forget. 

We have witnessed many instances of our Congress and President passing and 
implementing huge bills of over a thousand pages when we all know, and they freely 
admit, not one of them has fully read or understands. This is the most egregious type of 
behavior a representative government can engage in. Bills of that length are written with 
the assistance of paid professional lobbyists and special interest groups who are serving 
private agendas that are not concerned with the best interests of our nation as a whole. 
There is no reason any bill passing through Congress should be longer than our 
Constitution which established an entire government (generally accepted as 28 pages.) 
Since we are not establishing a new government with any new legislation, no bill should 
exceed 25 pages. 

The American Restorer Party will not make the same mistakes the old parties accept as 
habit. We will not allow candidates, elected officials and party administrators to wear 
our label and use it as a platform for doing as they please when they gain some support. 
We will have a national network of Policy Directors who will be charged with making 
sure the stated ideologies of the American Restorer Party are adhered to by all party 
officials, candidates and elected American Restorer Party officials. If violations occur 
and are not corrected, we will withdraw support from them and publicly declare they are 
not officially endorsed by the American Restorer Party. A responsible political party 
must protect and maintain their own integrity. 

We must be very cautious in our beginning to avoid becoming bogged down addressing 
the symptoms as the other parties prefer to do. We cannot forget this or allow ourselves 
to be distracted from our goal of restoring the Constitution and removing the corruption 
which has brought us all of our problems. Eliminate the cause, then clean up the mess. 

80 



Note that we are not currently addressing the social hotbed issues of immigrant 
citizenship, abortion or gay marriage. All have a long histories as emotional topics used 
to create distractions, division and promote social agendas. Not that they are not 
important, all are extremely important but the battles have raged for years and action on 
these issues has largely been due to abuses of administrative power and corrupt 
extension of judicial powers. This makes these issues symptoms of corrupt action in the 
process. All 3 issues must be addressed but only by starting fresh with a legitimate 
process for debate and review. Our first concern must be saving our Constitutional 
Republic or all 3 will be forced upon us by the socialist victors who are prevailing now. 
We save America first or the rest does not matter. If we lose our Constitutional Republic 
and our system of laws and legal processes are watered down to become useless, a 
Reckoning will not be avoided and immigration, abortion and gay marriage will be the 
least of our problems. We must first save the ship before we take bombs on board. 
Continue your fights as you will, do not ignore any issue but we cannot put symptomatic 
issues ahead of saving the nation first. All 3 battles are now well fought and reality 
dictates our energies as a fledgling party must be applied where they are likely to result 
in the most immediate good. We cannot fall into these strategic traps the 2 old parties 
have constructed to attack each other with as they ignore our darkest danger, the 
complete destruction of America. We must choose our battles wisely and in the order 
that will strengthen us for battling the symptoms when we become strong enough to do 
so. 

Furthermore: Honoring the Support of Voters 

Elected officials of the American Restorer Party must not run for a higher office while 
serving their terms. Elected officials have been hired and are taking pay to serve their 
constituents. They cannot perform at peak level while their focus is on running a 
campaign for a different office. We will not work in support of candidates who put 
current obligations on a back burner in order to further their own career aspirations. The 
people who have already elected them and the office they agreed to serve in must come 
first.

Section 4 

The Next Step-Input 

You now have an idea of our proposals for a starting point. We now request input and 
discussion from any Participating Restorers who have ideas, criticism and suggestions 
regarding our direction. In addition to everything already listed, we have a very detailed 
list of potential issues to tackle once we are on our way and have scored some progress 
with our introduction phase. This list has been withheld for now because we are waiting 
to hear from you first. America is a nation blessed with many brilliant minds and deep 
thinkers. Among them are true Patriots who will recognize the potential of a new Party 
of Restorers in this time of constitutional crisis. Crisis creates opportunity. You now 
have an opportunity to be involved, to be an important part of something we can all 
become very proud of. 

We know many great minds, still unknown, will emerge and become influential through 
this effort. We have an impressive team in place right now and we want to reach out to 
all whose patriotic concerns have been ignored or dismissed by the parties who serve 
themselves. American Restorers will serve our nation by including the will and work of 
the People, forever the source of America's greatest strengths. 

This is America, the United States, the land that showed the world how a great nation 
can rise from the determined efforts of great people. It is our time, our duty to remind 
the world that our American Spirit is still alive, well and indomitable. I hope and pray 
you will be a part of it. 

“....that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom---and that 
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the 
earth.” ...........Abraham Lincoln -- Gettysburg Address

A Message From the Author..... 


 I have been politically active for long enough to witness a wide variety of efforts 
fueled by every motive mankind is capable of driving oneself with. One particular 
motive appears all too frequently and I find it to be very disturbing and insincere. There 
are too many people trying to use our political instability to create positions of power for 
themselves. There are too many people harboring illusions of grandeur who believe 
affecting political change can make them wealthy, famous or powerful. There is no place 
for solitary heroes or selfish goals in an honest movement to do so much for our country. 
No one is going to do this alone and the People should not have to question the 
motivation behind such a sweeping set of reforms. 

With that in mind, I want it to be clear, right up front: As this effort grows and develops 
a life of it's own, all leadership and control will be handed off to competent people who 
can be trusted to manage it completely on their own. When we are no longer needed, we 
will step away. 

While those of us who developed the concept will always be active in support of the 
American Restorer Party, once we step away we will relinquish all control and never 
accept any official position or any form of compensation from the American Restorer 
Party. Any consulting or additional assistance we contribute will always be offered to the 
Party free of charge and without fanfare. 

We all know the old parties will try to stand in our way and if that fails they will try to 
absorb us by pretending to suddenly support our goals. That is exactly what they did 
with the Tea Party movement and a few others. When that fails they can be expected to 
attack our motives and we have now taken that possibility away from them. When they 
try to discredit us, let them stand and proclaim why we are wrong to demand restoration 
of our Constitution and why we should not battle corruption and self-serving parties of 
the past. Make them go on record telling us why we are wrong and should be stopped. 
The honest among them will join us, the rest will reveal their true selves by working 
against us. Know them by their actions. We told them we would hold them accountable 
and now we have a way to do it. 

We are doing this for the sole purpose of saving our beloved nation. We have 330 
million people in America, there are sure to be many among us who are quite capable of 
guiding this project to fruition. The only way we can assure all of you our intentions are 
sincere and our motives are not personal is for us to demonstrate it by making this 
promise right now. We know we will be held to it. Let it be so. We have a nation to save.

It is incumbent upon each generation to provide a stable society embracing the 
Rights, freedoms and opportunities the following generations will require to provide 
their own success. 

Young Americans 


Section 1 

A Future Denied 

This chapter is dedicated to young Americans because I know far too many good people 
graduating from college who are having to move back home. They are struggling to find 
any kind of job and getting one that will cover living expenses while paying off student 
loans is much harder than is used to be, harder than it should be. This is not a phase of 
your life, your future will be more of this. This mess is what happened when politicians 
abandoned the Constitutional limits of power and started sticking their noses into every 
part of our lives and business world. 
Almost all of us Restorers have kids, even grandkids, and we are worried about young 
Americans and the crime that is being committed against your future by politicians who 
are looting the nation. You are going to get the bill for it and they aren't making it easy 
for businesses to provide the high paying jobs you will need to live half as well as most 
of your parents do right now. 

Decisions young Americans make today about government will either sink or save 
their lives and our nation. Young people today are arguably the most important 
generation since the days of our Founding Fathers. 

The baby boomers are the first generation in the history of this nation preparing to hand 
off a nation in decline to future generations. This is a shameful distinction that must be 
rectified. Many older Americans have their money made, their home purchased and their 
retirement somewhat secure. The people who will really be shafted by the decline of 
America are those who are now less than 30 years old. They face a life of struggle, low 
pay, high prices and government oppression in every facet of their lives. 

The Republicans and Democrats of today are not the same as the parties of the baby 
boom days. The R's and D's of today should be known as the Rot and Decay parties. I 
know, I've been watching them as an activist since I was in college beginning in the late 
70's. Trust me, these parties are not your friends. 

84 



When I first took my steps toward higher education I didn't know much about 
government or politics but I was trying. I attended events when Senators or 
Representatives would come home and it didn't take long to see what they were telling 
us was twisted poli-talk. They'd tell us what they supported then go back to D.C. And 
propose or vote for something else. Over the years this has become much worse. 

Have you noticed how many of them talk about keeping jobs in America, making it 
easier to do business, energy independence, affordable food and fuels, protecting the 
environment, controlling the cost of education or saving Social Security? Well, those are 
the same things they were talking about back in the 70's. Often it is still the same people 
saying it, many have been there that long. One of my U.S. Senators recently had his 
Twitter account hacked and someone sent out some goofy messages through it. He said 
he still embraces technology, after all, he was one of the first in Washington to use a fax 
machine! He is proud of that? He was there before fax machines? I don't care if he was 
the first to use carrier pigeons, these people stay there forever getting rich while they 
never solve any problems. 

What is damaging the future of young Americans today is decades of failure from both 
old political parties who are too selfish, corrupt or incompetent to run a nation. The 
word incompetent is too kind in some cases; some of these people are just flat stupid. 
One U.S. Congressmen expressed concern that expanding the military base in Guam was 
dangerous because the weight could cause the island to capsize. Another asked a NASA 
scientist if he had brought in any pictures of when we landed men on Mars. This is just 
the tip of the iceberg but you look around, do a search on “stupid congressmen” and 
you'll find plenty to amuse you. Or scare you. 

Yes, these are some of the people who are in charge of securing a future you can prosper 
in. I swear, some of them are so dumb I think if you gave them a decent brain for free 
they'd just take it out and play with it. 

All of these people go into office with great promises and then they stay forever because 
the parties have that much money and power. They are not qualified to run anything, 
most have no business experience yet they are the ones writing the rules and regulations 
for our businesses. They are the ones writing the rules college students today will be 
stifled with as they try to repay student loans. They even write rules for the loans. 

Student loans. How is a person supposed to graduate today and start a new life when 
burdened with 5 or 6 figure student loans and the jobs they can find no longer pay a 

85 



sustainable wage? Blame the colleges and universities for much of this. They don't know 
how to manage a business either so the cost of a college education has skyrocketed at a 
higher pace than about any other segment of our economy. Too many professors are 
overpaid and arrogant people who went into teaching to avoid the challenges of 
succeeding in the tougher world of business. While many of them are overpaid and 
spoiled by fantastic benefits, much of their work, even the papers they publish under 
their own names, are actually the work of students. Graduate students are often used just 
to carry professors through an easy tenured career as they float along waiting to retire 
with their golden parachutes. If you've been in college, you've seen this. 

When I was in college it was common to attend every day but only see some of the 
professors once or twice a week as they blew through collecting or issuing assignments. 
Sometimes they'd hang around and teach but not in depth. There were a few good ones 
but most had the work ethics of old couch dogs. Want to know how to spot a lousy 
professor instantly? When they show up on the first day with an air of superiority and 
they just drip with arrogance. Watch that type, they wander off topic frequently and 
carry on about things you are not paying them to discuss. They also hammer you with 
lousy grades if you dare to question them. If they start on social issues when that is not 
the class subject, beware; those types are just daring you to object. Challenge them at 
your own risk, be prepared to go to the mat or don't bother. 

No student loan is backed by the government, they are backed by taxpayers who work 
hard for their money. Many are tax payers who had to work hard to pay off their own 
student loans so paying it back is something you have to step up and do. Do so while 
paying for a place to live, food to eat, clothes, a vehicle with maintenance, fuel and 
insurance needs with a few of life's expenses and surprises sprinkled in to make it 
interesting. Try that today with a beginning salary and you are likely to wind up back at 
home with the folks, like millions of others. 

The political ideologies of socialism and Marxism are often promoted by professors who 
spend their lives insulated from the realities of the functional world outside of their 
realm. While they grow fat on money these schools demand from students much of what 
they say and teach damages the business community and nation that provides their own 
incomes. Business people and hard working parents from all walks of life do all they can 
to send their kids to these institutions only to have the professors rail against the life 
these parents led which enabled those students to attend the classes. 

86 



Many courses require credits in nonsensical courses with no viable relationship to the 
major. These courses exist to expand the offerings and make the school appear more 
complete and diverse, pointless or not. Your tuition is raised to cover the expense of 
these classes that are of no use in preparing any person for a life of success and stability. 
Many of these are almost play classes which are only used to fill credit hour 
requirements while adding nothing of substance to a student who is preparing for life as 
a contributing citizen. The courses offered and developed for use in higher education 
have been altered over the years to where many are now structured to promote liberal 
and socialist political agendas. How would the professors know they are leading kids 
down the wrong path when everyone they associate with is as devoid of real life 
experience as they are? Do you really want to spend years of your life paying to support 
that instead of buying things for yourself? Get what you pay for from these schools, you 
are a customer at their business. You are paying so you have a Right to demand they 
provide what you are paying for, and nothing more. 

Your college education is costing much more than what is fair because too many 
colleges and universities are part of the looting of your future. You are over-charged to 
pay for people who often do not serve you well and those people are probably living 
with perks, benefits and a lifestyle you may never be able to match. The halls of higher 
learning are full of people who are part of the problems which will haunt your entire 
working life. The socialist/liberals who have become dominant in these schools solidly 
support and promote the bloated and intrusive government that will be forcing you to 
pay for their ideals. They will be comfortably retired, safely insulated from the mess 
they are helping create for you. They do not have working experience as part of a 
functional economy, they are dreamy idealists who receive their pay through loans you 
will be paying. Their world functions because they set the price, you have to pay it. 
Meanwhile, the traditional Constitutional government which provided America with 
over 200 years of growing success and higher standards of living is under attack from 
too many of them. Constitutional principles which made America rich and prosperous 
should be taught in schools instead of dismantling them when we are already living the 
losses for doing so. 

The worst offenders in this regard may be those with one of the most important student 
bodies. I am referring to law schools, the schools people attend in order to develop a 
complete understanding of how our legal and judicial systems should function. Many of 
these law schools will let a student graduate and take the bar exam with no more than 

87 



one hour of study devoted to our Constitution. You cannot have a full understanding of 
our laws, our nation and the structure of our legal and judicial system without a thorough 
knowledge and complete understanding of our Constitution. Every bar exam should 
include a comprehensive section testing the knowledge and application of our 
Constitution in its entirety. Law schools should instruct each student as to why and how 
our Constitution has worked for 223 years to limit government while protecting Rights 
and freedoms of citizens. We actually have professors of law in major universities who 
believe our Constitution is old, outdated and a waste of class time; a document to be 
circumvented until it can be replaced. 

When your Rights and freedoms are encroached upon, when governments exceed or 
extend the limits of their power, citizens lose Rights and freedoms and are usually asked 
to pay for the loss. That means you. When you pay your taxes, when taxes are withheld 
from your paycheck, it is the amount politicians demand from you for what they have 
done. Plus interest. It is estimated that by 2030 more than half of your paycheck will be 
taken from you to pay your federal taxes to cover the irresponsible looting our 
government is doing right now, today. In addition, more will be taken from you for state 
taxes and Social Security etc. Is that how you want to spend the money you hope to 
earn? You will not be keeping very much of it, that is what happens when overspending 
creates national debt. The bills are shoved into the future for others to pay. That is where 
you come in. You will be living on your little bit that remains. 

If you hope for a future of success and the opportunity to spend the dollars you earn for 
yourself, you need to do something about it now. Who goes to college just so they can 
earn more just to have most of it taxed away from them? That is one big reason so many 
of us are Restorers, we have kids and grandkids and we are worried about their futures. 
We are trying to do some things now, before your income is taken from you to cover the 
mistakes and corruption of our 2 parties today. In a nutshell, the Restorers must succeed 
in preserving and restoring a functional nation for you to live and work in or you are 
screwed. The 2 old parties of the past are filled with those who have already spent huge 
amounts of money you have not even earned yet. Your money. Plus interest. That is what 
national debt and an expanding government is all about. 

These is only one reason people go to college; they hope to gain knowledge and skills so 
they can have a stable, successful life. You do all of that work so you can reap the 
rewards of your own efforts while contributing to the society that makes your success 
possible. That is not what your life is going to be if we cannot stop the looting and 

88 



destruction of America that is already under way. You will work harder for less money 
than any generation since WW2. When you do manage to get a great job, the money you 
earn will have to be taken from you to pay the debt and interest for loans you were not 
asked to approve. Loans as national debt wasted on stupid things that will never make 
your life better, spent by people of the old parties who are making your life worse. 

Section 2 

The World of Work vs Government 

Take your college degree and try to start a business and you will find your pathway 
filled with stumbling blocks. Most graduates seek employment with established 
companies who can offer industry standard pay and benefits. The goal of most students 
is to begin there and seek advancement. Parents and professors will advise this because 
that strategy worked in the strong days of America right up through the baby boomer 
days. It is a whole different situation today. The few very best, the few most lucky will 
advance but opportunities for advancement are created either when the company grows 
or older employees leave and their position must be filled. You do not find opportunities 
for advancement waiting just because you are ready for one. 

As you move along in life and prepare to move ahead you will often discover that you 
will have to return to school to satisfy a requirement for a required license or permit. 
Most of these educational needs could be met for free as on the job training (OJT) 
through your employer. The permits and licenses are not there to establish that you are 
properly trained, if so, the documentation would be free upon completion of training. 
No, these requirements are portrayed as ensuring sufficient skills but in reality they are 
just a method of raising revenue. They are papers you pay heavy charges for to help 
support overbearing government agencies who have stuck their foot in the door of the 
targeted industry. They butt in where they don't belong and make you pay for it. By 
doing so, they make you pay for additional schooling which ensures more student loans 
and steady employment for the people at those schools. It's a racket. 

89 



Section 3 

The World You Must Live In 

The worst thing you can do is support the 2 parties who are already spending money you 
should be able to keep for yourself throughout your life. Generations before you allowed 
this to build on you. Doing as parties wish and shoving it all ahead on you is so wrong it 
should be illegal. Who asked you if they could spend your money now? 

Why are you quiet about this? I recall the power and influence of college students in the 
Viet Nam War days, They were facing lives of opportunity and prosperity yet they knew 
to act. They got up and did things when they weren't happy. Why were they so active 
over one war when students and the young today are mostly silent about multiple wars 
and having their future income looted ? 

Look at your parents, your friends parents, your neighbors and especially your 
professors. See the nice homes, the new cars, the good clothes? See them going on 
vacation and having dollars put back for an active, comfortable retirement? That is what 
was possible before government blew past its limits of power and the looting became so 
bad. What you see around you in older generations will be a rare life of luxury for 
people starting lives and careers today. The changes are already occurring, a lot of 
people are now delaying retirement. And this is just the beginning. 

When I was in college minimum wage was around $2.50/hr. Gas cost around 60 cents 
per gallon. We could buy 4 gallons of gas with one hours pay. Most of us smoked, 3 
packs equaled an hour at minimum wage. My first house was a nice little 2 bedroom 
with a full finished basement, a garage and fenced yard. It cost me the equivalent of one 
weeks pay at minimum wage, 40 hours a week. 

Can you do any of that today at minimum wage? No, and not because the minimum 
wage is too low. It is because government has driven up the price of everything to cover 
their looting and growth. Minimum wage must remain low enough that a small business 
can pay it and still survive, producing more jobs. When I was in college it still worked 
like that as it had for many years. When government raises minimum wage a lot of 
companies can't hire people and stay in business so jobs are lost. This is one big reason 
college kids have trouble finding work today. We had plenty of jobs for anyone who 

90 



wanted one and the pay was enough that we could live on our own. There was a balance. 
That balance is what has been taken from you. The politicians from the 2 old parties are 
those who took it or failed to protect it. 

When we were in college we didn't live fancy but we did get by. I was able to go out 
with friends and we chipped in together for smarter purchases like pizzas we split and 
pitchers of beer for all. Can you do the same with your own money now? While keeping 
a home and car? This is what the government has taken from you. This is what the 
Restorers are trying to put back together. We do not want to leave you in this mess. Are 
you going to be in there with us while we do it? We need you. You have one heck of a 
lot of power, much more than you know. Young Americans have done it in the past and I 
see no reason why you are not every bit as able. You have cell phones, social media 
groups and all sorts of technical advantages young people in the past never had available 
to work with. They were successful because they acted when it mattered. You have a lot 
more to work with and you could be even more successful if you will try. 

Before you can change your world you have to figure out where the problems are 
coming from. The worst thing you can do is to help those who are hurting you the most. 
If you want a future, you have to starve the beast that is devouring it, the Republicans 
and Democrats. You have enemies on both sides and not all hate America, some of them 
are just swallowing lies and repeating them without thinking. 

YOU MUST KNOW THIS!---Anyone who says we need a couple of generations, 25 to 
50 years to take America back, is planning on throwing away your generation and that of 
your children. They love to say, “It took a long time to get this bad, it will take a long 
time to fix.” The only reason they say this is because it gives them an excuse to take it 
easy and not repair the damage THEY allowed. Their leaders are feeding them this lie 
but they should be wise enough to know better. Restorers will NEVER say this, we do 
not believe in kicking our can of mistakes down through the years to you. 

“Not my fault, we just need a lot more years.” BS! Never let them say this to you, this 
mindset must be defeated so be sure to straighten out anyone who spreads this kind of 
garbage. Tell them to clean up their own mess in their own time. 

That single weak idea of taking so long to win is nonsense which has never been done in 
the history of the world. No great nation in decline has ever once been restored by 

91 



tolerating damage for generations. People who say it today are not about to help you. 
This is an excuse perpetuated by drones of the Republican Party which is the source of 
the lie. Republicans use this as an excuse to cover their failures, “Don't blame us, stay 
with us, send us money, vote for us because we need time to stop backstabbing you, 
ignoring you, making stupid deals with socialists and failing so horribly!” 
Yeah, right. Go team, rah rah whatever....... 


The world you must live in-what is it? You have to answer that yourself because either 
you will make that world or someone else is going to make it for you. Right now your 
worst enemies are doing it. Is that what you will accept or are you a Restorer who will 
build your own world without the thieves and corruption? Choose wisely. 


About College.... 

Deciding on attending college is not guaranteed success or guaranteed failure. It greases 
the slide in some cases, like retail management, for example, which can be acquired as 
OJT but takes a lot longer without education. College provides credentials which some 
professions do require and if you are wanting a career in law, the sciences, technology or 
finance, college is the only key to the door. 
There are many ways to succeed but one must be ambitious and willing to learn from 
watching others who have already done it. Do what you are good at and resolve to do it 
better than anyone else, at a fair price. Be considerate and respectful to those you ask to 
work for you and they will help you succeed. 
The first 3 millionaires I met with 8 digit net worths were all self made men with no 
college. One was even an 8th grade dropout. He was the man behind Homemakers 
Furniture in the Des Moines, Iowa metro area. He built a furniture store empire on wits 
and sweat and after retiring sold it all to Warren Buffet & Co. They still own it today and 
it is one of the 10 largest furniture retailers in the U.S.. No college. 
If you cannot afford college, don't let it hinder your dreams. Get out and find other ways 
to learn and grow on your own, others have. You will make mistakes but we all do. 
Failure starts with making excuses. Refuse to fail and work hard. (try to avoid every tax 
you legally can) There, everything you need to know about success in business!

Section 4 

The Reckoning-Bullseye Is On You 

Young Americans have got to understand what it will mean to you if a Reckoning 
occurs. You will bear the brunt of it. 

A Reckoning involves a World War of proportions never seen by mankind. Watch the 
news and anyone can see the sides are lining up; alliances are being developed. Russia, 
China, Venezuela, North Korea, Pakistan, Iran, a variety of Muslim nations and Muslims 
who claim no nation and many others would be lined up against us and whoever will 
stand with us. That list represents billions of people. That is one ugly scenario and there 
is no way such a war could be kept away from our shores again. It will be here, maybe 
where you sit right now. 

Who fights these wars? Young Americans and I don't mean the volunteer armies we have 
now. A World War will result in a draft and if you are under the age of 45 when it begins, 
expect to eventually be drafted. Do not think you can avoid it by getting out of a draft, it 
will be here. I have spoken with a lot of veterans of WW2, Korea and Nam. People who 
avoid the draft do not go about normal daily lives if they appear to be healthy draft 
dodgers. Dodgers are shunned in society, treated rudely and despised by all who have 
loved ones who rose to the call. If you want to experience being hated on the streets in 
America, dodge a draft and live among those who live in daily fear for their loved ones 
who went. 

No one has ever planned a World War, they have just blown up after catalysts set the 
plays in motion. This time the stage is being set in advance in a way that has never 
happened before. The U.S. is so powerful and so heavily armed our opponents are 
getting their ducks in a row well ahead of go time. If not being planned for, it is certainly 
being prepared for. Nothing could be more serious. Please let this soak in. Yes we are 
powerful; we are also vulnerable on many levels that were not risks with war 
technologies of the past. 

The Democrats and Republicans have taken turns running things as every mess we now 
have developed and grew. Are you going to trust them to fix what they were not able to 
foresee and prevent? Do you have that much faith in them? Are you willing to risk a 
draft and war of historical proportions for either of them? I am not. No Restorer is. All 
of us are working to get control of the situation so our own kids and grandkids do not 
have to face what the old parties are leading us to. 

93 



A Reckoning. War is just one corner of it. Financial meltdowns which many astute 
economists are predicting are another consideration. How these 2 parties of the past have 
managed to foul up everything at once is an amazing story which would be amusing if it 
were not true. I have older friends and neighbors who support these parties. When I ask 
them about the chances for a meltdown or World War most have no sensible answers. 
They often respond with, “I hope I'm dead by then.” They won't be but their heads are in 
the sand and they don't want to think about it. That is why you must. 

They also reply with, “Oh, they'll fix it.” Then they change the subject. What does that 
even mean? Who will fix it? What is the “it” they will fix? Where is the evidence 
anyone is even trying to fix anything? They are still spreading soldiers across the globe 
in conflicts large and small like play pieces in a board game. They are still saber-rattling 
toward a World War and looting the economy. Your economy, spending YOUR future. 
Those people are going to fix it? They can't stop making it worse or halt things where 
they are. Those 2 old parties are never going to fix or prevent anything. They are the 
ones letting it all happen, making it all happen. 

The Restorers need to get in gear quickly and get a handle on some of this. We need to 
bring our troops home from pointless wars and nation building projects. We need to stop 
wasting money on nations that already hate us to reduce the bills young Americans will 
spend the rest of their lives paying. We need to show the world America is not a 
confused source of foreign intervention but a strong nation that will leave the world 
alone as long as we are not threatened. When threatened or attacked we will reply with 
immediate overwhelming force. This deters future attacks. 

This business of spending lives and boatloads of dollars trying to force our system of 
government on people who do not understand it and have never asked for it is insane. 
Why are our young Americans being killed and maimed after 10 long years of war with 
no reasonable objectives? I refuse to believe that undeclared war is being fought to 
protect our freedoms and way of living here at home. If that was the case the feds would 
shut our borders down to prevent the entry of enemies they claim to fight there so we 
don't have to fight them here. Who in the heck is keeping them out of here? No one. 

Republicans began this nonsense with a lousy plan and support from a lot of Democrats 
who now deny it. Though they deny all blame for getting involved, the Democrats have 
not put an end to it during their turn at bat. They keep getting us involved on the ground 
in new places. 

94 



We have got to get Restorers working together so we can exert some influence quickly. 
We don't have to wait to win elected seats before we have power. All we have to do is 
unite, show our strength and lay down our demands and never let up on them. We have 
to do more than complain among like minded people. Young Americans have a lot to 
bring to the table for your own good. Do not be silent. Refuse to be ignored. Work 
together, work with us and let the world know you want America restored and our 
problems brought under control. The parties of the past have put your lives and futures 
at risk on every conceivable level. We have got to shove them out of the way and we just 
cannot do it soon enough. 

Young Americans--- Join with us as we help the young Americans in our own families, 
as we help all of us. No one is going to do this for us. 

Section 5 

Shake Things Up-Be Heard 

We all hear a lot of people talking like young Americans are irresponsible and know 
nothing about what is going on with government or issues of today. Don't let it bother 
you, the same was said about us and the same was said about young people 500 years 
ago. I have been impressed to discover there is a huge number of young Americans who 
know precisely what is happening and who is to blame. Younger people are often more 
willing to discuss these things than their parents are. You are often faster sensing change 
because you aren't mired in old habits. Talk to your parents, see how deeply they have 
thought all this through and what they expect for solutions or eventual results. You will 
find they can clearly define the problems, can they clearly define solutions too or do 
they just want to keep voting for the people and parties who screwed it all up? 

We have too many older Americans who have their heads as far up their arses as they 
claim young people do. The trouble with them is they are comfortable, their money is 
made, their jobs are secure and that is all the reality they care to ponder. They know 
nothing of history and don't bother thinking ahead for themselves. Find out where your 
parents are in their own deepest thoughts of the future, the future you will have. If they 
say, “Oh, these things come and go,” you are on your own. Try to help them. I know a 
lot of old party stalwarts who simply vote for the same old parties by habit and don't 

95 



want to bother weighing the details and making a decision for a switch. They tucked 
themselves into boxes long ago and won't budge until the box is turned upside down and 
shaken vigorously. This is a symptom of baby boomer fever called, “I got mine so leave 
me alone.” Comfortable people are reluctant people. There has never been a revolution 
of fat men or comfortable people. The task always falls to those who have been shafted. 
Today, that is young Americans. 

I get tired of people saying young Americans can't think anymore, (Well, who raised 
them?) I was tired of it when I was a kid. I get tired of people saying young Americans 
no longer develop good critical thinking skills. It looks to me like older generations who 
slept while our troubles incubated have no right to discuss the critical thinking skills of 
others. 

I spend a lot of time around young people and I'm not disappointed by them. Sure, every 
generation has idiots but growing up today is nothing like a few decades ago. Kids today 
are confronted with a dizzying array of changes and advancements which hit them at a 
pace the world has never seen before. That is life today and it has produced young 
people who are able to take change in stride and adapt almost instantly. You are 
technical wizards who are well adapted to life in the world as it comes to you. 

As for critical thinking skills, young Americans have needs we never dreamed of. You 
are the ones who had to add internet safety to the bag of tricks called street marts. Every 
day you make critical decisions about online etiquette, how to protect privacy and how 
to be involved in cyber world while not exposing yourself to embarrassment or danger. 
Young Americans can have severe social damage done in an hour today and the damage 
can be impossible to walk away from. Everyone around you has cameras and knows 
YouTube. Most of you are acutely aware of this and the smart ones act accordingly. That 
is a level of relentless critical thinking discipline no other generation has ever had to 
face. 

Older Americans need to consider what it must be like to be young in the world we are 
handing them. 

One brief lapse of judgment and 2 minutes later it is making the rounds in cyberspace 
where it can never be removed. If that reality does not demand exceptional critical 
thinking skills, what does? Do not think all of these new skills are wasted on social play 

96 



either. Kids have access to sources of info and the things that affect them make the 
rounds with amazing speed. Their new critical thinking skills also give them a sense of 
skepticism all their own. No one knows better that you have to cross-check every detail 
before accepting news as facts. They have grown up watching bad info thrown at them 
and they have learned to question all they hear. I think this is a good thing. Again, they 
impress me. Judge them by the world they live in, they are doing as well as can be 
expected, if not better. 

They have also grown up watching America change. They have grown up hearing adults 
talk about our problems and many young Americans have already had their lives 
touched by the troubles. They didn't grow up like we did, comfortable in the knowledge 
that America was rich beyond belief and so powerful we could never be challenged. 
They have not grown up confident that no matter which path they choose success awaits 
all who buckle down and work for it. That is not their world. 

It was our world and young Americans know it has been taken from them. I have found 
many who know just who is to blame and trust me, they are not falling for the crap the 
Republicans and Democrats have been getting away with up until now. We might as well 
replace those old parties now because they have no future as young Americans take the 
reins anyway. They blew it and our kids know it. Period. 

There are more groups on campuses today who focus on the Constitution and how it has 
been violated than any other time in our long history. Young Americans are doing this on 
their own. They want success, not a life of robbery by tax. Not a life of oppressive 
controls by governments who grab power and take away Rights. Every problem 
challenging their future has come from lousy officials who violate our laws. Lousy 
crooks who have taken away the Constitutional Rights and protections meant to avoid 
all of this. 

Anyone who does not think young Americans have a lot of Restorers among them just 
isn't thinking. Of course millions of them are true Patriots, who do you think is joining 
our volunteer armies? It's not their grandparents getting sent to wars on the whims of 
cavalier leaders who never see the battles, it is young Americans. We owe them and the 
Restorers are the only group of Americans coming together to see they get the same 
chances our Constitution gave the rest of us when we were building our lives. 

97 



As young Americans become increasingly vocal in their protests, we must be standing 
with those who stand for America. They will be up against the idealistic socialists and 
many of their college professors will be encouraging and supporting those socialists. We 
need to be the support for the good young people who will need us. Young Americans 
didn't sign up for these problems but they sure better get up now and deal with them. Yes 
they got shafted but it is not too late to do something about it. Much can be done and 
they can have their futures but not if they don't demand some changes now. 

Why do exorbitant increases in tuition and living costs get implemented without 
protests? Why do college kids accept being robbed when they are the ones who are stuck 
with enormous loans as they launch their careers? Much can be done about this. 

Why do students attend colleges known to be infested with socialist nutcases who spew 
anti-American nonsense instead of sticking to the curriculum? Why do students 
encounter corrupted curriculum and not burn it in parking lots and demand better for 
what they are being forced to pay? 

Why do students and parents make the decisions to pay crazy tuition rates to universities 
who undermine the Constitutional government that aided their founding and growth? 
Why do students to sit in class and hear socialists ranting against our traditional America 
and our Constitution without walking out and demanding they be fired? Why do 
patriotic college students see daily examples of corruption and anti-American activities 
on campus and not rise up to protect their own futures? 

Why do young Americans watch their brothers, sisters and friends join our armies and 
then be sent off on missions of lunacy and danger while no one back home cries out in 
their defense? 

There is much young Americans could and should be doing right now. Restorers will be 
there to help all along the way, just contact us. We can even help you start your own 
groups but your action is as important as everyone else. Maybe even more so. 

No one will give a bright future to the young Americans of today. If you want a life of 
success and freedoms, you have to demand it. The future of any people is never just 
bestowed upon them by a group of thieving politicians. If young Americans want a 
future you can be happy in, you must take back the nation from those who are robbing 
you. Young Americans will be Restorers or you will be the final group of surrender. If 
you fail yourselves now, there will be nothing left to fight for.

Restorers in Action 


Section 1 

First Steps-Here We Go! 

We have to do all we can while getting through all elections as they are scheduled. We 
can influence them heavily but the priority has to be voting against the worst anti-
Constitution, socialist liberal at every opportunity. This means we may have to hold our 
noses as we vote, just one more time, but that is no reason we cannot begin establishing 
a major force of power and influence at the same time. To be ignored we would have to 
be silent, we will not be silent. Let it be known, this is the last time we support anyone 
who has not joined us as a Restorer. We will not do it this time when we have a choice. 


We must get on record as to who we are and let the nation know there is a new force of 
change to be dealt with. We have to let them know we are here, we are serious and we 
are uniting to combat the loss and looting of our nation on every level. 
This will require a huge national public relations campaign that is the duty of each of us. 
Ideas will come from everywhere but to restore this nation requires people who think 
alike to ACT together. 


Moving ahead we will encounter organizational issues of all kinds. A lot of decisions 
will have to be made. We believe all important decisions should be made by consensus 
among groups of members established to manage specific details. These groups will be 
our A-Teams with defined areas of operation and logistics. This structure ensures 
everyone knows who is doing what and which areas of the work are covered. 


We need some sharp people in these groups who can work well as part of a focused unit. 
We ask all active members who are curious about helping to contact us. Every minute of 
effort puts us one step closer to changing our world. Some people can do more in an 
hour than others accomplish in a day, we can use all the help we can get. Look what 
we're up against. 


We need to be contacted by those who wish to be part of a national network to be 
involved as we define the issues and positions of our national platform. We will develop 
this network from our own membership. 


www.americanrestorers.com 

99 



The basic ideology of our Party is outlined in the chapter which announced it but 2 
points must remain constant with all decisions: 
One, we only accept and promote candidates who are dedicated Constitutional 
Restorers. Two, we will always maintain that principle. Any time any candidate exhibits 
signs of failing the Constitution, demonstrates they serve their own interests before the 
best interests of the nation or engages in conduct which is an embarrassment or 
damaging to the Party and our restoration work, we will publicly denounce them and 
formally withdraw the support of our Party. We will not look the other way as the old 
parties do. Moving ahead, we must maintain these standards. America needs a Party that 
is serious about integrity. 

We need to establish a political presence by registering our American Restorer Party in 
every state. This is not complicated and we are ready and able to assist. Please see our 
website contact list about help getting started in your state. 

We all need the help, the mutual support and the strength that comes from sharing ideas 
and work with like-minded people. Our website will provide a list of Participating 
Restorers who have asked to have their contact info made available so you can network 
and form neighborhood, local, state or national groups of Restorers. If you are already a 
member of a group that will support this effort without creating conflicts, by all means, 
we will gladly work with others. We would be proud to include a list of groups as 
Restorer Partners in our website. We will include website links (Restorer Partners) so 
please contact us if your group can be one of them. 

Section 2 

About the Attacks We Know Will Come 


We are already under attack. We have been for years so we may as well expect more and 
just keep right on working while brushing off their distractions. 

We are heading into a big battle and I have already been told it will be tough, like we 
didn't know that. I really just don't care, I was born American and I know what we are 
doing is right. I don't concern myself with what money and games the parties can throw 
at us. I hope they do challenge us, I dare any one of their officials to publicly debate us. 

100 



When they get bold they better be ready to explain why restoring the Constitution is a 
bad thing. They had better be ready to defend their party against the corruption and 
uselessness we can spend entire days discussing. 

Whatever they throw at us can't be worse than the recorded facts and results of their 
work we can throw right back at them. They have nothing to be proud of so if they'd like 
to discuss why they oppose Restorers, shouldn't they be allowed to do it? 

We believe in being straightforward and we do not make talk merely for effect. 

We are not Democrats or Republicans, when we say something we back it up. That said, 
we'd better establish just what we are prepared for and how we will respond. I want 
everyone who is with us to know we are ready and able to counter anything they throw 
at us, anything you feel needs a response. If you are a Restorer, you will never be alone. 
We are Americans. We stand together and part of our job as Restorers is to show the 
world we unite. Democrats, oh well. Going after us with the type of name calling and 
media games they used so effectively against the Republican would be a serious 
mistake. We will stand on what we believe even when the Republicans try us. Both old 
parties are vulnerable to so many facts they would be wise to keep a low profile. 

For starters, we know the Constitution so we believe all Americans are able to approach 
each other as equals. Respect and decency are due to all. Personally I believe the base 
principles of true justice can be interpreted as stated in the Golden Rule of Christianity. 
Do unto others as you would have done to you; that is where we start. Now, when that 
tenet is breached and someone launches a scurrilous attack, let them reap what they sow. 
I hope this can be amicable, if it is not, let them break the peace and give us even more 
reasons for doing this. They have nothing to stand on and we do. Period. 

We are not the old parties so we won't operate in the same way. After all, we have every 
right to run our Party any way we see fit. We are sick of games and manipulations so we 
won't do that. We will strive to be honest and keep our own politicians honest. 

Do not forget, some people who like what we are doing mean well but are as 
brainwashed and complacent as our opposition. We have to mind our own store being 
watchful for the telltale signs of weakness. Old habits are hard to break and we have to 
break the old habits wherever we discover them. People that cave to power or accept low 
standards from 

101 



leaders will not restore America. Some will resist acting because they are scared or lack 
vision, others are content sticking with a bad habit keeps life easy for them. 

You will encounter some who want restoration but will tell you the old parties have a 
stranglehold on our system that just cannot be dislodged. If you cannot educate them, 
move on. People who willingly accept defeat before they even try are of no use at this 
stage. Our Founders were surrounded by those types and we all know how that worked 
out. They'll come around later, be patient and kind with them. Do not alienate people 
who just are not strong enough to think for themselves. 

Expect to be confronted by those who believe there is a pattern of behavior in 
government that must be dealt with because it cannot be changed. We are the behavior 
modification team for all levels of government who have an addiction to games and 
corruption they can't kick or even confess to. They submit to their standards, we just 
don't do the same. We are not here to win a dirty game. We are here to clean it up. 

Section 3 

Spread the Word! 


Here are some ways to spread the word at little or no expense: 

Remember, what each of us can do alone is good but never enough. As you reach out to 
others about what Restorers are doing, encourage them to also reach out in any way they 
are willing and able to do. This can be as simple as talking to people you know to as 
broad as establishing regional and national networks of unified groups. What you do 
depends upon what you have for the time, ambition, resources, confidence and ability to 
do. Just do what you can with what you have and know that you are not alone. You are 
part of a a network with some very good people who share your deepest feelings about 
America and our future. Our Party will be what we make of it. That requires spreading 
the word. 

Multiple resources will become available for free at our website. Please use them. Watch 
for our “downloads” page. We will include downloads that are letters and questionnaires 
you can either print and hand to candidates and officials or send to their offices by email 
or fax etc.. The site is new and under development, check it often for new work. 

102 



We need to give sitting politicians a chance to join us. We will also develop a State-by 
State list of all sitting politicians who refuse to respond to our questionnaires or reject 
the Restorer movement. Know them by their actions. 

Every region has talk radio programs and several national programs have hosts who are 
potential Restorers. We need to reach them and give them the chance to declare 
themselves as Restorers or show themselves to be old party tools. Contact them. Call 
their shows. Get their email addresses from their websites and contact the host and their 
producers. These people can be of great service to our country and this effort. Contact 
them repeatedly and encourage others to do the same. I am confident that most, if not all 
of them, will become priceless additions to our growing movement. They have 
reputations to protect and the smart ones are very careful to become fully informed 
before staking their credibility on anything new. Get the info to them, call and talk with 
them but be patient until a fair amount of time has elapsed while they weigh the pros and 
cons and learn what we are all about. If they are with us, we'll be happy to list them at 
our site as a Restorer Partner along with their program links. 

Talk to people you know who are informed and intelligent. Co-workers, neighbors, 
friends at church and in local groups, clubs and associations. Members of our military 
and veterans groups will be especially interested in restoring our country. Reach out to 
them. Call, email or visit soldiers and veteran groups such as VFW posts. Contact them 
and tell them what we are doing and how to contact or help us. 

Attend a variety of political rallies and meetings and be sure to distribute our free info 
cards which can be downloaded from our site. 

Who do you know that you would like to approach about becoming an American 
Restorer Party candidate for any office? We need to discover, encourage, support and 
promote the best among us. We will need qualified people to replace those who prefer 
the old party games. If you know someone you believe deserves a chance to serve, 
please contact us or give them our contact info. 

All newspapers have editors and frequently larger ones will have political editors or 
specialists. Contact them. Again you can find their contact info through websites. 

Facebook, Twitter, MySpace etc, and the variety of political chatrooms and groups of the 
internet are a valuable hotbed of great political action. Most are places where people 

103 



post news and discuss the loss of our nation. We can help all of them by offering the 
positive inspiration of a new solution through efforts of Restorers who are finally doing 
something about all that is wrong. Reach out through these groups and get the 
information to them. Start new groups and organize your own circle of Restorers or 
bring in members to your existing groups. Use icons and avatars that identify you as a 
Restorer. 

There are political groups numbering from a few friends to tens of thousands across the 
nation. Tea Party groups, business and trade groups, even veteran biker clubs and all 
want to see our nation saved and restored. By uniting all of them as Restorers we can use 
the combined strength of numbers to accomplish what no group can hope to do alone. 

We will maintain an Action page at our site which we will constantly update including 
featured profiles of Restorers who have made progress for the American Restorer Party 
or have worked as Restorers to combat corruption and bad officials in any level of 
government. 

America Loves Getting Together- Let's Do It! 

As time moves on you will have the opportunity to meet as many Restorers as you'd 
like. The type of people who rise to this kind of effort always seem to be the kind who 
enjoy getting together. They are also the type of people you always enjoy being around. 
Nobody in the world has more fun ways to get together for a great time than plain old 
everyday Americans. Most events use a holiday or some other excuse to launch 
something that involves food, music, Harley's, friends, family, clambakes, churches, 
fund raisers, flags, prayers, horses, bonfires, potboils, camping, 4-wheelers, fireworks, 
chili contests, beer, BBQ's, auctions or unique combinations of all of the above. We are 
on the verge of doing something new in the modern world; the peaceful reclamation of a 
nation is distress. Nobody on this planet but Americans could ever do anything close to 
what we are about to do. Let the rest watch and learn as we do this in style! 

This is big my friends, we should find ways of enjoying our chance to work together as 
we do something that will turn the tables on history and the socialists who are about to 
find out they haven't won a darned thing after all! They should have left us alone. 
Sure, this is a struggle but we are up to the challenges so we might as well enjoy it and 

104 



meet each other in friendship and unity as we share our efforts. Who is better at winning 
a tough struggle than Americans? Nobody. As united patriots we don't even know what 
to talk about after losing, We don't lose, we never have and we never will. That's just not 
what we do. Leave that to the fools who push us too far. 

Where I live hog roasts, BBQ's, potlucks, and sweetcorn feeds are popular. I'm going to 
round up some volunteers and we're going to do this right! If you cannot do something 
similar maybe you can light a fire under someone who can. Fellowship and unity is an 
important part of being an American, there is no better reason to do it than uniting to 
save and restore our beloved country. 
Plan an event, large or small and we can list it free of charge in the website “Calendar of 
Events” with your contact info, if you'd like. We'd also love to post your event pictures. 

Our numbers are stunning if we stop working alone in small groups and unite for 
our common cause. 

Section 4 

Here Is What We Are Working On 


We are well into the writing of our second book. I know the old dirty politics crowd 
hates this one. Oh well. Just wait until they see the next one! 
Part of it goes much deeper into issue details, closing the border, the expensive failure of 
the war on drugs, activist courts, closing federal departments, street gangs and their true 
cost to society, developing a powerful influence and how to affect elections now through 
November and beyond. We discuss how to force resignations from sitting officials and 
how to deplete the funding of the public NPR and also commercial anti-American media 
outlets. We discuss fuel and energy production and what can be done. 

There are so many peaceful ways to help this nation it can be hard deciding which to do 
first. The next book takes us to another level or cleaning up old problems the 
government has fouled up for decades. 
This sneak peek is the tip of the iceberg, this book is not what a politician want to see in 
an election year but so be it. 
We have not decided how we will publish or release it, please watch our site for dates 
and details. 

105 



Our first website is a launch site. Our plans for it will require more time than we wished 


so watch for revisions and additions as they are completed. 

www.americanrestorers.com 

Additions we are working on include the following pages and links: 
Featured Restorers: A Fun page. We will profile Restorers in action showing what they 
are doing and how they are promoting our Party and fighting corruption of the old 
parties to restore our Constitution. Subscribed Participating Restorers will be eligible to 
submit pictures, videos and/or profiles for this page. 

Restorer Partners: Links to groups and Restorers engaged in the struggle in a variety 
of ways. 

Restorer Shopping: Official merchandise and items related to our movement. 

Events: Submit the time, date, location and nature of your Restorer event and we will 
list it on this page for you, complete with any contact info you want to include. 

Action and Ideas: Self explanatory. We will post ideas for people who want to be 
involved and are looking for effective ways of acting as a Restorer. 

Downloads: We are developing a Media Contact Package which can be emailed or 
printed and snail-mailed to radio, TV and newspapers to help spread the word about 
what we are doing to save our nation and clean up government. (Or you can just send 
them this book) 

Forms, info and letters which will be useful for members who want to help in a variety 
of ways. All documents can be printed off or sent as emails. There will be letters for 
elected officials and candidates which include questions regarding their dedication to 
our laws and Constitution. They will have a chance to prove they are honest Restorers or 
explain why they are not. As the replies come in we will post who is with us and who 
rejects or ignores the effort to Restore America. 

We will also have American Restorer Party info cards you can print off and distribute to 
anyone you hope to reach. 

106 



Restorer Editorials: To be a true Party of the People we have to include input from 
them and provide a platform for our best to share their thoughts and insight. Subscribed 
Participating Restorers will be eligible to submit work for this page. 

State Lists: As we grow, we will list the states where we have been officially registered. 
We will provide links and contact info. 

Beyond the mountain of website work, we are actively seeking and assisting organizers 
for registering the American restorer Party in all states and helping them any way we 
can. If you can help in any capacity in your state, please contact us through the site. 

We have done a great deal of work to get this far, it will take a lot more to make a 
difference but who is more able than the people who know they are Restorers? I know 
many and Restorers are much more astute than the socialist minions we are up against. 

We know what we want, we know what our nation needs, now we know how to get 
started. Let us do something we can all be proud of.

Our American Spirit 


No book, no speech, no Party can now launch the concept of concerned citizens thinking 
like Restorers. That was done long ago. The principles behind us are older than the 
nation. In the late 1700's, these same principles lit fires in the minds of a few who 
discussed dreams of an independent nation, free of a tyrannical monarchy 3,000 miles 
away. 


Our Founders, the people who had that dream, were not the majority, they were 
challenging the majority to think for themselves. They challenged the majority to want 
something better and then act to create it. It was a notion so bold many thought it to be 
an insane proposition. Weaker men did not join them until victory was assured. Weaker 
men and those with no vision could only consider the risks and the power of the 
opposition. 


Our Founders had people around them who wanted to keep repeating failed tactics. 
So do we. 
Our Founders had people around them who wanted something better but refused to help 
because they were more comfortable accepting known tyranny than standing against it. 
So do we. 
Our Founders had people around them with a strong sense of justice and the natural 
Rights of man, and an indomitable yearning for freedom which chafed under the 
onslaught of an increasingly oppressive government. So do we. 


Our Founders acted because they had become filled with what the world came to know 
as the American Spirit. They had never heard of it and had yet to realize it was that 
which united them and drove their ambitions. They acted on what they believed was a 
basic matter of right vs wrong. The American Spirit developed and flourished long 
before it was recognized and given the name. The American Spirit came to be identified 
as something unique to us as an awed world witnessed the selfless determination of a 
growing group of citizens united against an established world power. 


The American Spirit has lived on to this day. While all nations will harbor it's detractors, 
it's cowards, it's critics and it's scoundrels, America has always maintained something 
more, something intrinsic which binds all who possess it in a unique brotherhood of 
pride and understanding. That is the American Spirit and throughout our long history 


108 



that Spirit has never failed to rise in times of great distress, uniting all who love our 
nation to defend her against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. 

As the greatest nation in the world, the United States has also become the most tempting 
prize to be taken by those jealous of our wealth and and frustrated by the power of the 
citizens which obstructs their hopes for dominating us. Every attempt to divide, conquer 
or subjugate our great nation has been defeated by the American Spirit as those who 
hold it so dear unite to preserve all that it means to be an American. We have never 
failed. Failure is not an American trait. 

Our American Spirit has now been displaced in the soul of our government. Our Spirit 
lives in the hearts of Restorers but as the Founders knew, it does not reside in the hearts 
of all. So be it. The rich prize that is our nation is now being looted, weakened and 
undermined by those who resent the American Spirit and seek only the power and riches 
their corrupt abuse of powers can secure for themselves. It is time for the American 
Spirit to once again unite us in a time of great distress. It is time to reject our corrupted 
leaders and the political parties which have been altered to produce, empower and 
protect them. 

Our Constitution will be restored and the Rights and Freedoms it protects for us will be 
preserved beyond our time. Honest leaders who serve the best interests of our nation will 
dominate and replace those who now serve political parties and themselves. The 
American Spirit will persevere because it is alive and strong in the hearts and minds of 
millions. The American Spirit will live on because it lives in us, the Restorers. 

We will succeed because the American Spirit lives in Restorers and that Spirit unites 
us, guides us and no power on earth can overcome it. 

May our just and forgiving God once again Bless this great nation.

The following is a collection of excerpts from an earlier booklet produced for use in 
rallies, town hall preparation etc. prior to the 2010 mid-term elections. Times are 
changing quickly so these have been slightly edited and updated for use here. The title of 
the booklet was 20 Turns and tens of thousands of copies were distributed, downloaded 
and shared in it's entirety. 

The American Restorer Party is a development which evolved from this original effort. 

Intro 


When our founders got together and created our Constitution they planted the seeds of 
the greatest nation on God's green earth. If you can't agree with that then we won't share 
much in common. After a rough start and a series of challenges, from within and 
without, our America emerged as the world leader of freedom and opportunity. 

When America needed to be strong we developed the armies that freed many nations and 
millions of people from tyranny and oppression. When we became wealthy we became 
the most charitable nation in the known history of the world. When America became the 
world's beacon of freedom and opportunity we shared with the rest. We taught hungry 
nations to farm and shared the seeds, machines and techniques we developed. America's 
Constitution has enabled us to live and prosper with freedom, security and opportunity 
while we delivered more food, money, medicine, freedom and security to other, more 
needy nations, than any other nation at any time. Our great armies have provided brave 
soldiers to bleed and die for the defense of freedom and opportunity of millions all 
across the planet. 

Adhering to our Constitution empowered us to become the wonderful nation that I love 
dearly and I am immensely proud of. Therefore I must resent the actions of today's 
political leaders that seek to ignore the Constitution and divide our society in order to 
secure greater, broader, more central powers for themselves at our expense. Our own 
Abe Lincoln stated that it is the history of democracies to die by faction. Others use the 
term, “divide and conquer.” Both mean the same thing and you can see it happening at 
home today. By addressing us as separate groups of special interests our leaders seek to 
divide us. They no longer address us all as Americans but they address groups of us, 

110 



each group gets its own specific message. Divide and conquer. They address us not as 
Americans but as young Americans, black Americans, rich Americans, poor Americans, 
Latino Americans, the working men, American women, the haves, the have-nots, senior 
Americans, the religious right, the homeless and the unemployed. This list goes on, but 
they are seeking to pigeonhole us all into manageable groups they can make promises to, 
take things from, vilify, praise, reward and penalize as the situations of a changing 
nation best suit their quest for absolute power. Death by faction, thank-you, Mr. Lincoln, 
for stating it so succinctly. 

Our great Constitution was constructed in a very deliberate manner to prevent this sort 
of shenanigans from leaders. We were guaranteed protection of our God given rights and 
freedoms and we were warned by our Founders that we must be willing to defend these 
rights or we would ultimately lose them. A nation's leaders can only gain power by 
taking the rights and freedoms away from the people. That's us and I don't like it, do 
you? 

This is happening today and anyone with a useful mind and critical thinking skills can 
clearly see it. It must be stopped. Our rights and freedoms are being manipulated, 
altered, ignored and diluted by too many of our leaders. They resort to any and all 
conceivable methods to divide us and encroach upon our rights and freedoms. 

You've seen this. For example, we have freedom of speech. However, if you say 
something that a hyper-sensitive activist may choose to label as “offensive” some 
politicians will seize the opportunity to lash out at you in order to secure the support and 
voting power of the group that was told to feel offended. Freedom of speech actually 
exists, where in the Constitution are we guaranteed the right to never be offended? This 
is a prime example of the process they use against us. By dividing us into useful groups 
they can pick the battles to start among us. What is assailed as “offensive language” to 
one group may be ignored when directed at a group that offers no gain for the same 
politician that was so boisterous about the first example. 

Many of those in power have learned to craft political agendas that steer us away from 
the issues that are important to us in order to focus on issues that gradually increase the 
power they so willingly wield against us. As a result, our real problems are ignored as 
we watch them debate issues that serve their quest for increased control over us. We see 
our ever increasing taxes wasted on programs that fail and we see how our Constitution 
is being carefully dismantled. 

111 



We the People still retain the power to change our leadership but, because of their abuse 
of our trust, we must also demand that they develop agendas that truly serve us. We 
have the power to fire or retain them so we still have the power to dictate to them the 
issues that truly matter in our society. We've seen the agendas they develop among 
themselves then feed down to us. Global warming. When I was a kid we called it a hot 
spell. They are usually followed by a cold spell. If we are bumping against record temps 
set a century ago then was it global warming back then too? What reversed it then, 
maybe a reduction in sunspot activity? When will they all decide that the dinosaurs 
committed suicide because they foresaw the rise of humankind? That's probably our 
fault too. Yet, while this theory is still being challenged by very competent scientists our 
leaders push to force us to address the issue. That is their agenda, not ours. They see an 
opportunity to strip us of wealth by raising taxes and creating methods of allowing their 
cohorts to profit. When the global warming legions win a public debate with the 
scientists that disagree with this scam, I will be willing to listen. Till then, stay out of our 
pockets. Wipe that power grab off the agenda and tackle something that will help We the 
People. Global warming, as the debate now stands, is being used in an attempt to create 
a political power structure that will share the benefits and profits for the gain of the 
proponents and their cronies. 

This is just one example of an agenda developed by those who believe we serve the 
government instead of our Constitutional blessing of a government that serves us. There 
are many more examples. 

Some of our elected leaders have become so confident of sustaining their power they 
have begun to laugh at us and belittle our objections. They see us as powerless fools and 
they clearly demonstrate their contempt for We the People. They feel we have no choice 
but to live as they dictate and tolerate any manner of insult they subject us to. 

We protest obscene deficit spending and they call us un-American. We complained when 
they repeatedly passed lengthy and complicated legislation without even taking the time 
to read the bills. They responded to those complaints with a bold show of arrogance and 
insolence. They hired a speed reader to sit and mumble through the bill in the 
background while they went about their business. ( My sources indicate that Democrat 
Henry Waxman of California was behind this) They laughed as they did it. This display 
of contempt was an insult to all who feel elected officials should take their roles as 
leaders seriously. They were scoffing at voters who were expressing their opinions 
through the 

112 



Constitutional right to redress the government for a grievance. They were laughing at 
We the People who believe a leader should be fully informed on legislation before 
passing it at our expense. They were laughing at us, the people who pay them to do a 
job, the people that foot the bill for their actions. They were laughing because they were 
amused that we felt we had the right to demand they conduct themselves as responsible, 
concerned representatives. Which they know they are not. 

I was disappointed that the rest of Congress did not stop all business to demand an 
apology for We the People and also demand the resignations of everyone involved in 
treating us so shabbily. Like I said, they are too confident of their power. Shame on 
everyone that did this and those that failed to correct it. 

Many of these same clowns are in a position to choose the agenda of our Congress. It is 
no wonder that all we have to show for their service is higher taxes, social division, a 
loss of Constitutional protection of our rights, a weak dollar, a faltering economy, trade 
deficits, no viable energy plan, high unemployment, struggling small businesses, failure 
of rural communities, failure of many large cities, a poor but expensive educational 
system, loss of manufacturing, rampant illegal immigration, street gangs and their 
crimes, a huge budget deficit and national debt that has increased so dramatically that 
our children's children will still be getting taxed to pay it all off. Laugh at that you 
clowns! Every voter that has trusted Congress to run this nation well has become a 
victim of Congress. Congress-you have failed us. Go home! Get out of OUR Capital and 
make room for your replacements! 

We put you in power, it has now become our duty to take you back out. 
We Are Americans 
We Are the Restorers 


Section 1 


Crisis in Congress

 Since our leaders have proven that they prefer us divided to be conquered, we must 
unite to plant a new crop of leaders. We call and write to them and things get worse. We 
meet with them and are often insulted or belittled and ignored. We state our concerns 

113 



and they give condescending replies. We must reject the division and partisan 
manipulations they give us and dump them all in the hope of replacing them with our 
best and brightest. Now THAT is some "Change” I can believe in! 

We are now experiencing a very serious Congressional Crisis, these people represent the 
greatest internal danger since the Civil War. They will complete our destruction if they 
cannot be stopped. We are literally under attack from our own government. This 
Congressional Crisis is severe. Our elected leaders are either drunk with what they 
believe is their power or they have become so completely overwhelmed with their duties 
that they are collapsing from incompetence. The wheels have fallen off the machinery of 
our system. The government is in complete disarray and every move they make is 
dragging us closer to chaos and economic failure. 

It is late, but not too late. Leaders, past and present, have made a mess of our nation but 
we have other people who are completely capable of cleaning it up and putting the 
pieces back together again. The leaders we now have either took part in creating our 
problems or were ineffective in preventing them. 
Therefore, we need the American Restorer Party. 

The principle of the Restorer effort is simple and extremely powerful. We must all agree 
to use our votes to remove every official who does not serve our Constitution faithfully. 
All of them must go because we need to break up the power structure they have 
assembled to use against us. You may have one good Senator, fine, encourage them to 
join us or explain why they are not a Restorer. The same applies to Representatives that 
you are happy with. For all others, make it loud and clear that you will support a 
Restorer to replace them at the first opportunity. I like a few people in office so I will 
contact them, provide them with all of our info and ask them to join us as a Restorer. 
This is our chance and we must be thorough. We do still have a small number of good, 
sincere politicians but, as the saying goes, 97% of them give the other 3% a bad name. 
The parties won't like this, but that is too bad. They have certainly abandoned us. 

Restoration of our Constitutional Republic is our only hope for saving America. The 
American Restorer Party is a chance for a new government staffed with no career 
politicians or establishment party traitors from either old party. 

There is absolutely no possibility that the people or parties we have in office today will 
fix the mess they now preside over. They have been running the show during the 

114 



successful attacks on our Constitution and the plundering of our national wealth and our 
way of life. These people craft agendas that strip us of our Constitutional guarantee of 
rights and freedoms but we can say “Enough is Enough!” They do not serve us so we 
will no longer support them. They are not in charge, We the People run this country. Let 
us all join together to show them what that means. Let us all come together and stop the 
destruction of the greatest nation on God's green earth. Let us all come together and 
install a new group of leaders that is loyal to our votes, our priorities and our 
Constitution. We must exercise and defend our rights to install a new group of leaders 
with no systemic connections to the dangerous parasites that now lurk in the shadows of 
our corrupted system. 

Now is the time to turn around from the cliff they have led us to and move forward as a 
nation on a new path to a better America. This is re-shuffling the deck so we can stop 
playing losing cards. We win now or we lose our country by betting on the wrong people 
when we should all know better. 

The toes they stepped on are now in the shoes that will kick them out of office. These 
poor leaders can't or won't fix anything so we will. America is not broken, they are. They 
can't turn it around but we can. We want real candidates with real abilities, not party 
hacks whose only skills and experience are in winning elections and shafting the voters. 
None of us can make a difference by ourselves but it is easy once we can unite. 

We are now at a very important crossroad and if we fail to act all will be lost. This is not 
an opinion, but an obvious fact. We are melting down and the whole world is watching. 
People in other nations are saying the United States is finished. They do not understand 
what happens to those who push us too far. We are Americans, we push back harder! 
Even against our own corrupt leaders. The Restorers will do the pushing. 

I know scores of good everyday folks that are worried, even scared, because of our 
ominous future. It looks dangerous and we can all see some sort of change is inevitable 
because the current situation is untenable. 

You can feel it in the air that something big is coming. Some fear a slow, agonizing 
death of our system, others fear a revolution or civil unrest and violence. The Restorers 
can give us hope and put the fear where it belongs, on the backs of those who have put 
us in this situation. 

115 



We DO need a revolution and we need it now. Restoration is that revolution and it will 
succeed. Restoration is We the People staging a cool-headed but very powerful 
revolution to take our country back from the career politicians and parties that are 
destroying us. People are asking “What can we do?” This is the answer. Restoration is a 
process that everyone can safely participate in as an opportunity to accomplish some 
revolutionary results. 

We can continue what we are already doing and become the Generation of Shame. 
Restoration, or we allow them to complete our destruction. This is our fault too, we've 
elected these people, we became complacent as a nation. We have the leaders we 
deserve, we need to do our duty so we may deserve better leaders and we may install 
better leaders. The old games in Washington must stop now. If we do not honor our duty 
and demand integrity from the process we do not deserve the freedom and rights we will 
continue to lose. 

Section 2 

The Passing of the Parties 

How is it that both of our old major parties have abandoned their bases at the same 
time? We know it is because career politicians are serving their own interests, but the 
scope of this corruption is just staggering. I know very few Republicans or Democrats 
that are solidly behind their party of preference today. 

Republicans watched as the border was left open. President Bush implemented the 
TARP budget buster. Ditto with the prescription drug benefits. When the Republicans 
had Congress and the White House did they reduce regulations or start drilling for oil 
and building refineries? Did they anticipate and prevent the mortgage crisis? Who would 
have guessed that a Republican President would say that he had to abandon the free 
market principles to save the free markets? What??? This is the logic behind hundreds of 
billions of dollars in increased debt? What??? 

When the Republicans had all the power and the presidency did they do what we 
expected? I recall them getting us into 2 new perpetual wars without clear objectives. I 

116 



recall the, “I'm not a nation builder,” President begin nation building, replacing the roads 
and buildings we paid our armies to blow up. I checked, we are still in the U.N. And 
they are still in New York. Why? What did we gain from having Republicans in power, a 
slower decline with a couple of bonus wars tossed in? Was the decline really slower? 

Why is it that Republicans only hate spending when the Democrats are doing it? Get the 
Democrats out and the Republicans step up and spend like drunken lottery winners. 
The Republicans often lose because they deserve to lose. The trouble is the Democrats 
they lose to do not deserve to win. Republicans had their chance and blew it, just like 
they always do. By ignoring their base and backing a very weak candidate in '08 they 
lost it all. Obama won because Republican Party worked so hard at losing. John 
McCain? Seriously? 

They have a disturbing habit of ignoring their base and eating their own. The way 
Republicans sabotage each other is an amazing thing to behold, the Democrats almost 
never do that. Democrats present a much more united front in public and have to rely on 
goofball ideas to sink themselves, not sabotage from within. Now we all get to watch as 
the Democrats blow their turn at the wheel. Both parties fail their loyal voters and 
engage in a constant “us vs. them” bickering match that serves them but not us. Like 
teenage siblings forced to share a room they need a grown up with a level head to step in 
and administer some discipline. 

Restorers will be the grown ups. We the People must be the grown ups because the 
discipline is long overdue. We have to stop swinging between Democrats, then 
Republicans and back again, lashed to the “political pendulum of doom.” 

I see huge numbers of disillusioned voters in both of the old camps. The Democrats sure 
have plenty to be upset about. While supporting a vague message of “Hope and Change” 
I do not believe they intended to see the Constitution ignored and our nation swept by 
socialism. They wanted to keep America but with some improvements, most didn't vote 
to see America deliberately destroyed. Democrat voters are paying a dear price for 
backing what they dreamed of instead of what they could see. 

I have never seen a party or group of leaders back-stab their voters as quickly and as 
thoroughly as what is happening now. It is simply appalling to witness. I thought 
Democrats were against Corporate Welfare. I thought the Democrats loved the little guy 
and opposed government getting in bed with big business. So did the voters. These 

117 



Democrats immediately jumped into bed with Wall Street then pulled the sheets over 
their heads and got busy. They have shown their true colors. They spent more on 
Corporate Welfare in the first few months than all other administrations in history. 
Notice how they never use that term, “Corporate Welfare,” anymore? They don't want 
you to think about it. Back-stabbers. 

Democrats resisted everything Mr. Bush did but his first stimulus was in checks mailed 
to families not astronomical sums going to global corporations. His tax break saved 
thousands every year for nearly all of America's families but the Democrats want to take 
that money right off your kitchen table. Unbelievable. Them, of all people, tossing 
billions in boatloads of dollars at big companies while working families lose their jobs 
and homes. Republicans spent too much but the Democrats are now smashing all 
records. Democrats have destroyed our budget and increased debt to obscene levels 
with corporate welfare while families are struggling and unemployment sweeps the 
nation. They trampled our Constitution to do it. They eloped with big business and will 
be sending the bill for it to your family for decades to come. Democrat leaders have 
thumbed their noses at voters of every class and color. Democrat leaders think the old 
Democrats will stay with them no matter what but they are wrong. I think a lot of old 
style Democrats will become Restorers too. They can't all hate the country, I know 
better. 

I've never seen the country in such poorly managed chaos. The leaders are throwing out 
spending, programs and power grabs so fast no one can keep track. We don't even know 
where the ideas come from or what is in the details. They rush to create one thing, and 
before voters can react they implement something else. Trying to keep up is like painting 
monkeys, the harder you try the crazier it gets. They aren't doing it for us. The Democrat 
voters are the most used and abused victims of big government in my lifetime. They put 
a great effort into the last election and they are now seeing their families futures buried 
in debt. Get rid of all of them and start over. 

This is no longer about those parties, saving our nation must become the goal. Both old 
major parties foul everything up, spend too much money, ignore the Constitution and 
aggravate their bases. They put their priorities ahead of ours. 

While we work and care for our families they have meetings with strategists and 
lobbyists. They ponder the right words and phrases to use to sell us bad ideas. Look at 
how many names they already tried for health care. Heath Care Reform, Health 

118 



Insurance Reform, Obama Care, Kennedy Health Care. We have the "O" plan and now 
the "K" plan, is the next one the OK Health Care plan? It would be OK with me if this 
bunch kept their hands off it. They are not qualified to put wrenches under that hood! 

They plan strategies that will be most effective in manipulating public opinion when 
they should be focusing on fixing some of the mess they've already created. It is all just 
a big party game to them and we are the dupes. Would honest politicians distract us with 
big media smokescreens about trivial matters while they sneak under the fence with 
things we would object to? Would honest politicians release important details and 
reports on Friday evenings because they want it out of the news cycle by Monday when 
people are likely to start paying attention? We are being played folks, and they need to 
know we are done with it. 

Parties need to earn the support of voters, not take it for granted. We need to scour our 
respective states and find the type of Restorer candidates we have a right to expect. We 
want the best and brightest, not the most entrenched. Party leaders need to accept the 
duty of finding our shining stars and encourage their participation, prepping them for 
replacing the old guard. The Restorers can help us evolve to meet our challenges. Too 
many people are upset with the status quo so it is time to do something about it. 

Restorers will be heard, not trampled. 

Section 3 

Lobbyists 

Why do we allow paid lobbyists to make careers in the halls of our Congress? 
Politicians love it because they develop relationships and trade favors and more. How 
does that serve the People? It doesn't. These lobbyists are paid huge sums to convince 
our leaders to back their special interests, often against the will of the people back home. 
Don't tell me that my vote matters if you are getting marching orders from paid 
lobbyists. 


No paid lobbyist should be allowed to address more than one issue per session. No paid 
lobbyist should be allowed to work in the Capital for more than two years. We need to 
minimize the power dollars have on Congress. If our leaders want input they can find 
ways to get it from the constituents. 


119 



I watched a defeated (fired) ex-U.S. Senator as he was asked about his work as a paid 
lobbyist. He was pretty smug. This guy had the gall to tell reporters that he is not a 
lobbyist though he is doing the same work as others whom will admit it. This man 
claimed he is working as a “resource,” not a lobbyist. Congressmen who become 
lobbyists average a pay increase of around 1400%! What are they selling? Insider tricks 
and more. Call it what you will. I call it influence peddling and it should be illegal. 

Washington politicians that are voted out should leave Washington and go home. Voters 
decided they wanted them out, they should bend to the will of We the People and get 
out! This is a very dirty, corrupt game they are playing. 

Lobbyists are needed and their activities are constitutional. However, the current system 
of paid career lobbyists is a threat to the interests of citizens and the integrity of our 
Congress. Other nations and the businesses from other nations often pay these people for 
their access and influence with our Congress. Any well funded group can hire paid 
lobbyists to represent them before our elected leaders. There are rules but these people 
know how to bend them. It is often possible to find these lobbyists representing taxpayer 
funded groups, like public worker unions, teachers, park boards etc. These groups all 
have a right to access the leaders but their work is funded by taxes then tax money pays 
lobbyists to represent them. Tax money invested in raising taxes. Their own 
administrations should be capable enough or they've got the wrong administrators. 

When a private citizen enters the halls of Congress to voice their opinions to a 
Congressmen do you believe they will be as effective as a paid career lobbyist? 
Lobbyists know these leaders on a personal level, they are paid to develop relationships 
and curry favor. They are skilled at the power of persuasion and they represent only the 
dollars that pay them. I am not comfortable with this. These people should be limited in 
the time and scope of their service to preserve integrity of the system. I want our 
Congress to be influenced by constituents, not paid career lobbyists and special interest 
dollars. The access to our leaders should not be tilted away from the voters at home. 

When Congress is asked to pass a bill of hundreds, even thousands of pages, do you ever 
wonder who is writing them? Lobbyists do a lot of it, especially the sneaky little details, 
the precise wording that can be avoided or manipulated after implementation. While we 
hear broad descriptions of these bills in the news, a professional lobbying firm may have 
several employees carefully constructing the language of one critical paragraph to suit 
those special interest groups who pay them. Is that how we should run a representative 
government?

Section 4 

Stop the Programs 

Our Congress is so completely dysfunctional they apply the same fix to every major 
problem. All big issues result in big new programs. This is insane. We cannot afford the 
programs we already have and Congress has never implemented one that came in at 
cost. A new program means Congress is throwing money at another problem. Now they 
are creating programs to fill the voids created by their mishandling of the economy. 
They are spending a lot but creating nothing. These programs will run out of money and 
leave us right where we started. If you simply give away money for awhile, what have 
you fixed? Instead of repairing our economy to jumpstart small business (where the jobs 
really come from) they use programs to give dollars away for show. Programs are the 
only bullet in their arsenal. We need reconstructive surgery and they give us temporary 
bandages. 

I must admit, I really do not want this crowd to do anymore to “improve” the economy. 
We can't afford their ideas. I want these folks to stop implementing new programs and 
just wait quietly until we can replace them. I have completely lost all confidence in their 
ability to do anything but ravage the Constitution and create massive debt and deficits. 
The old programs they've given us are all a shambles. Are we to believe these same 
people will suddenly, miraculously accomplish something brilliant? That is not evident 
in their performance review. Slugs do not spin silk. How many of our people in 
Congress campaigned and won by promising to "fix" Social Security? That was a big 
deal as long as 25 years ago. Now, 25 years later it is still not fixed. This is how they 
operate, nothing is ever fixed and they just keep creating more programs to throw more 
of your tax dollars into. Before they spend any money on new programs they should 
earn our confidence by demonstrating they are capable of repairing or eliminating at 
least one old broken program. There are plenty of places to start. 

We cannot continue using programs to cure the symptoms of failure. Congress says too 
many workers do not have health insurance, so is the insurance industry the problem or 
is Congress at fault? Who was in charge while millions of high paying jobs with great 
insurance benefits were shipped overseas? Why did those jobs leave? Congress has 
ruined the business environment of America. We must make our voices heard, the 
expensive programs must stop. We cannot sit idly by while our futures are looted by 
incompetency. 

121 



We must turn our Congress over to new leaders, Restorers that respect the value of our 
tax dollars. Competent new leaders that are capable of developing, implementing and 
managing successful programs and shutting down the failures. Any idiot can spend 
money, how about some true leaders that earn their keep by repairing or eliminating all 
the fouled up programs that keep piling up behind all these old career politicians? No 
honest, intelligent leader will keep throwing good money after bad if they respect their 
voters tax contributions. Not like our Congress does. Stop the new programs now while 
we clean up our Washington DC personnel problems. 

Section 5 

One Person One Vote 

One person, one vote has become the Great American Farce. Our leaders make a lot of 
noise about our ability to vote. Then they do all they can to diminish the power of it. 
They have engaged in widespread redistricting (gerrymandering) so that each region 
produces the type of political influence that will best serve the career politicians. District 
boundaries are drawn to change the make up of the vote count and therefore, the power 
of every affected citizen's vote has been altered. 

We have political activists that scour the gutters, the homeless shelters and mental 
homes dragging uninformed and unaware warm bodies to cast votes that may offset your 
vote. You may be responsible and track the news, watching leaders and examining issues 
so you can make an informed intelligent decision. A corrupt activist can drag a drooling 
heroin addict off a sidewalk, register them and use them to cancel your vote. These 
people are fed, transported, registered, coaxed and influenced while they have no real 
knowledge of the candidates or the issues. 

Voter fraud is rampant but are the career powerbroker politicians working to see that the 
voting process is cleaned up? No. That does not serve them, it only affects us. We have 
some areas of the nation that count more votes than they have registered voters. We have 
activists hauling busloads of the uninformed across state lines to shift the outcome in 

122 



key states. We have activist judges that reject or allow ballots to suit their own ideology. 
We have areas where non-citizens are not screened from the process and you can 
become a citizen one day and vote the next. Is that a responsible process? 

I suspect that online voting will soon become a stronger issue. Never allow this because 
the numbers will be too easy to manipulate and corrupt. Voter fraud is too prevalent 
with the current system so we cannot make our process more vulnerable. Why do our 
leaders not fix this? A Congress that will not respect the integrity of the system and 
people that elect them should be removed. Congress spends time investigating the pay of 
executives and they chest thump about how insurance companies need competition “to 
keep them honest.” Excuse me, but I refuse to be lectured about honesty from a career 
politician that ignores the voter fraud which influences the outcome of every election. 
We need to elect new people that will secure our Constitutional right to a fair and honest 
election process. 

We need a government of Restorers 


Never be content dreaming of a better life when you should be living a dream.....
