Defend Our Republic!
We are at a historic crossroads equal in importance to 1776. Do we hold true to our Constitutional Republic or succumb to the failed and deadly Socialist/Marxist ideology? The answer depends on citizens getting involved and acting to protect their Constitutional Rights and Liberty.
You can help. The first step is to sign this petition so we can let our policymakers know we will no longer stand for the erosion of our Constitutional Republic.
Defend Our Constitutional Republic
“A Republic If You Can Keep It”
Open Letter from Retired U.S. Generals and Admirals
Today, our nation is on the precipice of losing the fight for our cherished liberty as enumerated in our Constitution, the document to which we swear our military oaths.
If the expansion of Socialism/Marxism is not stopped, we will lose it to that deadly and suppressive ideology. Historically, Socialism requires an authoritarian form of government like Marxism to impose it on free people. It cannot be imposed unless “we the people” sacrifice our Constitutional freedoms and become compliant with unconstitutional government mandates and intrusions into everyday lives. COVID was used as a tool to suppress our freedom and as justification for massive mail-in balloting resulting in reports of fraud. Reasonable voter verification is now opposed and called racist. Without fair and honest elections that accurately record the legal votes of citizens, we have lost our Republic to one-party authoritarian rule.
Many ask, “How can this be?” The short answer is we’ve been too complacent. For over 60+ years, the ideology of Marxism/Socialism with associated corruption has slowly infiltrated into our major institutions to wit: the educational system, news & social media, political system, judicial system, entertainment industry, corporations, and now tragically, our military.
We took an oath “…to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies: foreign and domestic…” Our greatest foreign threat is China, followed by Russia, Iran, N. Korea, and Islamic terrorism. We warned in Aug 2021 that the Biden Administration’s political surrender to terrorists during the debacle in Afghanistan would embolden foreign threats. Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and China’s aggression toward Taiwan are tied to the Afghanistan surrender. Such foreign powers see weakness and no longer fear the consequences (deterrence factor) coming from the United States in response to their aggression.
The greatest threat to our survival is “domestic,” not “foreign.” Those who believe Socialism/Marxism is acceptable fail to look at history: that ideology leads to death and destruction. Estimates are Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot alone killed over 100 million people. America fought Socialists/Marxists during the Cold War with the Soviets (1947-91); in the 1950s and 60s, we fought communists in Korea and Vietnam.
Political correctness has caused our military to lose focus on the reason it exists: to fight and win our Nation’s wars. “Woke” social programs like CRT and Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) are divisive as they tear at the trust and confidence our warriors must have in each other. Foreign threats are encouraged by such self-inflicted weakening of our military as the corrosive mandatory “woke” training that now occurs throughout all branches of the Armed Services. Public trust in the military has declined in recent years, and Army recruiting is the worst since 1973, causing very dangerous reductions in force size. The defense budget fails to keep up with 40-year high inflation while we watch as the IRS hires 87,000 new agents.
The tenets of divisive programs like CRT and DEI are taught throughout our education system, corporate America, and the federal government, including our military. These are Marxist techniques casting us into opposing groups based on the oppressed vs. the oppressors, mostly along racial lines. The goal: to sow seeds of distrust which often leads to civil unrest and increasing violence, as seen in many large cities.
The “rule of law” is lost when a double standard exists and laws are selectively enforced. Today, preference is given to criminals over victims, mayors and district attorneys use politics to decide when to prosecute, and the DOJ/FBI is weaponized against parents speaking at school board meetings and now blatantly against political opponents. Defund the police movements endanger all Americans, especially in large cities where minorities often suffer the most. Without the “rule of law” and accountability, we have lost our Republic.
Other destructive actions taken by the Administration and Congress that cripple our country include:
- Open borders allowing 2+ million illegals, with unknown numbers of criminals, drug cartel members, terrorists, drug and sex traffickers, and illegal drugs, to enter our country; widely dispersed into various states; paid for at great taxpayer expense. Without Title 42, estimates are that 18,000 illegals will cross our border daily, totaling ~6 million more during the Biden Administration.
- Uncontrolled spending causing the highest inflation in 40 years. COVID lockdowns upset our work ethic by keeping people at home and giving some more money to not work than work, driving thousands of small businesses into bankruptcy and making more people dependent on the government— which is socialism happening.
- The war on fossil fuels taking America from energy independence to energy dependence and reaching the highest gas prices on record, asking our adversaries to bail us out and depleting our strategic petroleum reserves instead of unshackling our own massive domestic production capability.
The assault on free speech and censorship from governmental agencies, the media, the educational system and tech giants is tyrannical. When people are afraid to say in public what they say in private, then freedom of speech is lost to cancel culture, censorship, and intimidation.
American citizens must stand up now for our Constitution and Rights through peaceful resistance to the Socialist/Marxist movement. A “Citizen’s Action Plan for America” found at FlagOfficers4America.com offers ideas for grassroots action. Citizens must contact political representatives at the local, state, and national levels to voice support for a strong mission-focused military, secure borders, election integrity and the rule of law. They should call for an end to censorship and government overreach. Above all, U.S. citizens must vote in the 2022 election for candidates who support traditional values to Constitutionally take back control of our government.
We are at a historic crossroads equal in importance to 1776. Do we hold true to our Constitutional Republic or succumb to the failed and deadly Socialist/Marxist ideology? The answer depends on citizens getting involved and acting to protect their Constitutional Rights and Liberty. National Security issues can be solved with changes to existing political policies, but that requires replacing politicians holding Socialist/Marxist ideologies with those who have the courage to defend our Constitution. Elections have huge consequences.
