Time magazine recently featured Bob Schulz on the

cover of their magazine. Schulz was characterized asbelonging to a new movement of violent militias. I

happen to be a subscriber to the We The People

Foundation and have followed Bob Schulz.

Additionally, I have been in contact with Mr. Schulz

discussing his articles and mine. I believe that Mr.

Schulz was mischaracterized and should have a

chance to voice his side of the story. Schulz

responded to the editors at Time Magazine.

What follows is Bobs response. Please send it to asmany people as you can. Thank you.

Note: Links to the TIME article and an online

interview w/ Bob Schulz are at the bottom of this

update.

Dear Editor:

I am featured in your cover article, written by Barton

Gellman, though I cannot understand why. You have

wholly mischaracterized me and the works of my

Foundation, in order to shoehorn me into a piece tha

may work for TIME, but has no relevance to what

Gellman and I discussed. The information I provided

to Gellman, through more than six hours of face-to-

face interviews, plus e-mails and written

documentation, has been twisted and wholly taken

out of context, rendering it inaccurate, misleading an

libelous.

There are so many falsehoods in what was attributed

to me that I cannot address them all in this letter. I wi

take them up with TIME management.

For the record, I have never advocated violence, I do

not and have never belonged to any militia, nor do I

communicate with militias or influence militias in any

way that I am aware of. However, I do fully support

the Constitutions guarantee of well-regulated militias

in every State. To quote the mandate of the second

Amendment, A well regulated Militia, being

necessary to the security of a free State, the Right of

the People to keep and bear arms shall not be

infringed. Therefore, the absence of well-regulated

Militias in every State is repugnant to the

constitution.

This article serves neither the truth nor the People of

this nation. While it wastes thousands of words

regurgitating the intricate details of militia activities,

their confrontations with government officials, and a

handful of blatantly criminal acts, the article fails to

address the fundamental "secret" re-invigorating the

Patriot consciousness of Americans across the land.

The "secret" that the mainstream media appears to

have an extreme aversion against putting forward or

openly discussing, is that over many administrations,

with the support of both Parties, the federalgovernment has all but abandoned our Constitution.

As more and more People are learning daily, from

largely non-mainstream media sources, it is only the

Constitution that stands between the People and tota

tyranny and this dangerous rejection of the

Constitution has put the fate of our nation and Liberty

of the People at grave risk. It is this stark realization,

not racial or religious bigotry, which is driving the pro

Constitution movement, the Tea Parties and likely,the citizen militias.

The larger, ugly truth is this: For decades the citizens

have endured an escalating campaign of

constitutional violations including undeclared wars,

un-enforced immigration laws, warrantless searches

and surveillance of private papers and

communications, slave-like direct non-apportioned

taxes on labor, a monetary currency conjured out of

limitless debt, the giving and lending of public money

and credit to private corporations for decidedly privat

purposes, the absence of a well-regulated militia in

every State (mandated by the first thirteen words of

the Second Amendment) and a privately owned

central bank known as the Federal Reserve.

It is these violations of our Charters of Freedom,

that are fueling the voices of dissent. Liberty is a

force of Nature. It cannot be subdued.

Most disturbing perhaps is TIME's publication of false

statements, harmful to me and the We The People

Foundation For Constitutional Education, Inc., and

designed to detract from our intelligent, rational and

professional defense of the Constitution.

Not only does the article falsely brand me as an

advocate edging "anti-government" patriots "closer toviolence," Gellman and the editors at TIME, violate

every principle of journalistic responsibility by failing

to accurately report the substance of numerous hour

of personal interviews TIME conducted with me,

supported by hundreds of pages of legal and

historical documentation that I provided to Gellman

and TIME.

The public record I have established over three

decades clearly shows that I have always advocatedthe use of peaceful, non-violent resistance in

defense of the Constitution. Any person who has

ever heard me speak, including Gellman, has heard

me hold up the examples and teachings of Gandhi

and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Our Foundation's legal research and litigation, which

stretches over many years is an open book to anyon

who visits the archives on our website, as Gellman

indicated to me he had done. Our focus has beenbased squarely on the historical context, purpose and

full exercise of the last of the five Rights guaranteed

by the First Amendment.

Gellman knows that each of our First Amendment

Petitions for Redress have cited a specific provision

of the Constitution, included a factual account of

violations of that provision and sought a remedy to

the violation. There were nine Petitions for Redress

submitted over a fourteen year period, not hundreds

as the article states.

TIME knows our work in defense of the Constitution

has always been rooted in the Rights of the People

and the obligations of the Government under the last

ten words of the First Amendment. Known as the

accountability clause, those words guarantee the

Right of the People to PEACEFULLY hold the

Government accountable to the rest of the

Constitution. Understandably, the Government would

have the Right forever remain the Forgotten Right.

But why TIME?

In point of fact, it is our research into the fundamenta

RIGHT of the People to hold their servant

government accountable through the First

Amendment Petition clause, and the Foundation's

aggressive litigation, high-visibility protests and

educational efforts that have drawn the iron fist of the

IRS. However, any Right that is not enforceable is no

Right.

The article's dismissive note regarding the Supreme

Court's refusal to hear the Foundation's case fails to

convey the critical fact, known by TIME, that the

purpose of the landmark federal lawsuit was for the

Supreme Court to declare - for the first time in history

- the constitutional meaning of the First Amendment'

Petition/Accountability clause.

That's correct. I, and other Americans who stood

with me, wanted nothing more than our modern day

Supreme Court to declare the legal meaning, effect

and significance of the government accountability

clause of the First Amendment. The Supreme Court

refused to settle the first impression constitutional

question. We provided Gellman a direct quote from

the 1821 Supreme Court decision of Cohens v.

Virgina, 19 U.S. 264, 265, holding it was "treason tothe Constitution" for the Court to refuse to hear a

case it is constitutionally required to hear.

Disturbingly, TIME would have its readers believe

that I was the source of the quote.

Far from being "anti-government" and advocates of

violence, the very purpose of the We The People

organization is to educate Americans regarding the

history, meaning, effect and significance of every

My article is not an endorsement of Bob Schulz nor

the We The People Foundation. I believe, in fairness

you should know what Bob has to say in response to

the article.

In past history when a country trended towards

dictatorship and imperialism anyone who dares spea

of following the Constitution and guaranteeing civilrights was demonized in the media and by the

government. Naomi Wolf warns of the signs of a

fascist society. I saw a few of her speeches two year

ago. The warnings she gives seem to be ringing true

as the lies spew out of the beast of the military

industrial complex.

Please make sure to vote out the tired, corrupt

Washington regulars this November and replace

them with some independents who will restore theConstitution and the freedoms that define America.
