====== When Lawmakers are Lawbreakers ======


Americans are illegally held captive and are suffering abuse for standing for America. They have been away from their families for nearly two years. What will you do?

|It is difficult or impossible to pinpoint just when the tipping point was passed where America went from law and order to lawlessness and disorder, but we know we have long passed it.\\ \\ The incremental movement from one point to the other was left unchecked, then expedited, and now patriots hope to claw their way back to the freedom, protection, and providence that we once had. Those who love America and what it stands for now attempt to take a stand on the principles on which it was founded, while those in key government and other influential positions push it further off of its foundation.\\ \\ **Jailed for Standing for America**\\ \\ Many patriots, exercising their constitutional right under the First Amendement to peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances, were [[https://headlineusa.com/j6-political-prisoners-speak-out-about-conditions-in-dc-gulag/|arrested]] by those in charge of protecting that right. This assembly happened on January 6, 2021, when Congress was convened to count electoral votes that unaccountably favored Joe Biden.\\ \\ The grievances for which many assembled were well-grounded, because election laws had been [[https://www.heritage.org/election-integrity/commentary/latest-election-fraud-cases-underscore-importance-election-integrity|broken]] across the country and [[https://node-1.2000mules.com/|thousands]] of votes had somehow been granted to Biden in the wee hours of the morning of the day after the [[https://tennesseestar.com/2022/06/24/maricopa-county-republican-leadership-passes-unanimous-resolution-rejecting-the-2020-presidential-election-results/|election]]. Many of those arrested are still [[https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/kevindowneyjr/2021/12/07/reps-greene-and-gohmert-finally-met-the-j6-political-prisoners-what-they-saw-isnt-pretty-n1539714|incarcerated]] and awaiting trial as of this December 2022.\\ \\ This is in clear violation of the sixth amendment, which among other things, guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial. By all measures, waiting on a trial for two years is not considered speedy.\\ \\ **Destroying America**\\ \\ While those that exercised their constitutional rights languish in prison for doing so, the Biden Department of Justice and certain state justice departments are busy turning loose those who actually commit crimes deserving punishment, such as [[https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2022/07/24/biden-considers-id-cards-illegal-aliens-released-u-s/|illegal]] aliens and U.S. citizens involved in [[https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/04/19/the-death-of-law-and-order-is-destroying-america-rioting-and-looting/|looting]] and [[https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/09/04/39-photos-capture-americas-summer-of-violent-riots/|destruction]] of property.\\ \\ The government officials responsible for upholding liberty and justice are not held accountable for their [[https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/if-biden-wont-enforce-immigration-law-state-and-local-governments-should|dereliction]] of duty. \\ \\ **Disregard Equals Destruction**\\ \\ Violation of the Constitution is a common occurrence for the communist regime currently in Washington, as it was during the [[https://www.usnews.com/debate-club/is-arizonas-sb-1070-immigration-law-constitutional/obama-administration-doesnt-want-to-enforce-the-immigration-laws|Obama]] administration, and to a lesser but still significant degree under [[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2013/01/30/in-1986-congress-tried-to-solve-immigration-why-didnt-it-work/|administrations]] of the more distant past [[https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/|(Article 2, Section 3 of the U S Constitution)]].\\ \\ When the lawmakers and those in charge of enforcing law and order and protecting the rights of the people are derelict in their duty, what avenues are open for the people to have law and order, and protected rights ([[https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/|10th Amendment]])?\\ \\ **Take Responsibility**\\ \\ [[https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/|Article V of the Constitution]] allows a way for the states to bring about change to the federal government. When Congress won't correct itself, then it is the duty of the people through their state governments to make the necessary corrections.\\ \\ [[https://conventionofstates.com/|Convention of States (COS)]] is working toward that end, giving citizens a chance to make a difference in the course of our country.|
