Gettysburg Address - More relevant today than in 1863

gettysburg-address-2READ IT. The Gettysburg Address is only three paragraphs. It takes less than a few minutes to read. Give it a read.



Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- 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.

    “America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” - Abraham Lincoln


     



    The Challenge presents circumstances where the States have demonstrated their inability to take action to prosecute judicial corruption and misconduct.

    Filed on their own behalf, and also for others – as a large portion of the citizenry of the United States have been placed at risk while the Attorneys General have ‘lawfully’ failed to take action to address or restore the lost rights and civil liberties of the People.

    How was the Judiciary permitted to usurp the power of the Legislatures, and the Governors, enacting a law mandating judicial corruption and misconduct be ignored and excused while obstructing justice and denying Constitutionally protected liberties.

    Rule 1.6 is authored, updated, edited, promoted, maintained, managed, directed and scripted by The American Bar Association.

    How did the American Bar Association come to be responsible for this unconstitutional and improperly enacted law in EVERY state? The people demand an explanation.

Saving America from Suicide

"At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide." - Abraham Lincoln

(from "The Perpetuation of Our Political Institutions: Address Before the Young Men's Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois" January 27, 1838)
