Page 189 - Beers With Our Founding Fathers

A Patriot’s view of the history and direction of our Country

foundation bricks for the road to independence and the birth of a

new, and free country. Our greatest Nation on Earth. I support each
of the sacred and unalienable birthrights enumerated in our Bill of

Rights and granted unto us at birth. They are not granted by our
government (which is each of us collectively) and cannot be revoked

by our government (again – us). They are interwoven – one cannot
stand without the other. If you are willing to give up one, or see

another denied theirs, you give up all for everyone. In my no-law-
degree opinion, it is the Bill of Rights is reserved to the states, and

those not of the state are to the people. Because we are a
government of the people, by the people and for the people – these

rights are ours, as individuals, to exercise and protect. Because the
rights are enumerated in the Constitution, the states have no

authority to amend, encroach upon or revoke. I would submit, that
any state or local government that provides for any of the

enumerated rights in a different form, is violating the Constitutional
rights of its citizens. The Bill of Rights is irrevocable because of the

sacred and unalienable natural rights defined in the Declaration of
Independence – of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Finally, although they were later enacted – they were a condition of
the ratification of the Constitution by the states. Therefore, our

Founding Fathers and Framers did not intend for the Bill of Rights to
be later infringed upon, repealed or restricted. I submit that it is

unconstitutional for any government to amend, revoke, suspend,

challenge or change any amendment to the Bill of Rights without a
Constitutional Convention.
