Mission Statement
The We the People Congress is a non-profit,
membership-based assembly of patriotic Americans dedicated to
“institutionalizing” citizen vigilance and governmental accountability.
The organization is legally and institutionally separate from the We The
People Foundation, but closely connected by a mutuality of purpose and
coordinated operations plans.
The Mission of the
We The People Congress is threefold:
1) To
institutionalize the local distribution of educational material that the
People are not receiving from any other source – the history, meaning,
effect and significance of every provision of our Declaration of
Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America and our
State Constitutions; and
2) To institutionalize the independent review by the People of the
actions of their local, state and federal government officials – viz
a viz the requirements of their Constitutions; and
3) To institutionalize resistance by the People against unconstitutional
or illegal behavior by government officials whenever and wherever it is
discovered.
The Congress
coordinates closely with the WTP Foundation in carrying out its Mission.
The Foundation takes the lead regarding the development of civic
educational materials. The Foundation and the Congress share
responsibility for identifying abuses of power. The Congress takes the
lead in organizing for widespread grassroots civic activism to
correct those abuses.
The WTP Congress has
been established for the purpose of developing in the public forum, out
of the ordinary, non-aligned citizenry, a constituency committed to a
nationwide, pro-active, non-violent, mass-movement, with the goal of
achieving ordered Liberty through citizen vigilance and government
accountability. As an organized force of “constitutional activists,” the
WTP Congress is organizing into “ward republics” in every county, with a
“Citizen Vigilance Center” in every State Capitol.
We recognize that
popular sovereignty as a social and political force is a fundamental
cornerstone of our constitutional Republic. The Congress is committed to
achieving its goals of restoring Freedom and Constitutional Order
through the exercise of popular sovereignty by all possible non-violent
means including: public protest, judicial process, legislative lobbying,
electoral advocacy and the exercise of the Right to Petition.
America stands at a crossroad. In our lifetime, we may witness either
the demise or resurrection of our Constitution, our Republic and the
promise of Liberty. The WTP Congress is uniquely committed to serve “We
the People” in helping them organize to effectively repel the forces of
tyranny.
Vision
In each state capitol, We The People Congress intends to erect a
Citizen's Vigilance Center, staffed by full-time Congress professional
personnel and local volunteers to carry out the mission of
institutionalized vigilance over government at all levels, local state
and federal.
In remembrance of his divine inspiration, constitutional genius and
lifelong commitment to the defense of Liberty by Thomas Jefferson, each
Congress Vigilance Center and its surrounding grounds will articulate
the grand architecture and illumination manifest within Jefferson's Virginia home, Monticello.
The Vigilance Centers will forever preserve the Spirit of Freedom and
the Light of Liberty
for the People of this nation, and the world.
