2. Revitalize the Second Amendment


The first clause of the 2nd Amendment is the Founding Fathers’ vision for maintaining a free nation.  
   
In addition to restoring, fully, the right to own and bear arms individually, we must also restore the implementation of the first clause, which instructs each state to organize & train well-regulated, disciplined forces under the Governor, and under a designated local official in each county, to repel foreign invaders, to aid the citizenry during natural disasters, and to restrain public officials from violating the constitutional rights of citizens.

Revitalize The 2nd Amendment

A necessary companion strategy to the Precinct Strategy is the revitalization of the 2nd Amendment. NOT ONLY the “keep and bear arms” part, but the “well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free state” part. (This is the only time in the Constitution that the Founding Fathers used the phrase “necessary to the security of a free state”.)

The Founding Fathers envisioned the “well regulated Militia” as a lawful establishment under the authority of the Governor at the state level, and a designated county authority, such as the Sheriff, at the county level. This vital part of the Constitution began to fall into disuse at the end of the Civil War, circa 1865. IN FACT, the Militia in the time of the Founding Fathers was designed to be every able-bodied man between 18 and 45. New legislation could provide for women to voluntarily enlist.
This institution was to be an impregnable force against  foreign invaders — or — more likely, in the minds of the Founders, against an out of control Federal government. The STATES were to be a check and balance AGAINST power grabs by the Federal government. The “well-regulated Militia” could also be called up by the Governor and County leaders to help in times of “acts of God” such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, and other severe weather emergencies.
Citizens should approach their best state legislators to introduce legislation in their state that would re-constitute the well-regulated Militia, under the authority of the Governor.
The Militia would also be the logical body in each county to supervise the OPEN COUNTING OF THE BALLOTS AT EACH PRECINCT AT EACH ELECTION TIME — thus ending 4 decades of the illegal, unconstitutional, easily-rigged secret computer “counts” that have warped our nation’s destiny since the 1970s.
The well-regulated Militia could also be granted the power, through a properly constituted body in each county, to set up a parallel grand jury system to indict Judges and other public officials when they trample on the rights of one person, or the people as a whole. This would establish a missing check and balance on judges, public officials, and bureaucrats who blatantly abuse their authority, and wantonly violate their oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America.
Thankfully, we can rely on the research of one of the FOREMOST CONSTITUTIONAL ATTORNEYS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr.
Dr. Edwin Vieira’s erudite research on what the Founding Fathers meant by the “well regulated Militia” can be found on the well known website, News with Views, in an eight part series:

His books on this subject are: “Constitutional Homeland Security”, “The Sword and Sovereignty”, and “Thirteen Words.”

A complimentary strategy, which can be done right now, is for Sheriffs to immediately raise a posse to protect local citizens from encroaching federal government intrusions. Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona has already done this. 300 Constitutional Sheriffs have told the federal government that they will not allow any violations of the 2nd Amendment rights of their citizens. The county Sheriff’s posse is the other side of the coin of the “well regulated Militia” and can consist of the same people.

“…each State at this very moment retains reserved powers under the Constitution to maintain her own Militia, to make gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, and to administer her system of alternative currency through her Militia, without any consideration of the Federal Reserve. Similarly, any State can insulate herself from the national para-military police state being set up under the Department of Homeland Security by revitalizing her Militia and incorporating all State and Local “law-enforcement” and “emergency-management” agencies within her Militia—whereupon no official of the DHS can give any commands to those agencies, because no official of the DHS can be an “officer” in the Militia, inasmuch as the Constitution explicitly reserves to each State the authority to appoint all of the “officers” in her own Militia (other than the President of the United States). These actions can be taken right now, without the need to ratify any new constitutional amendment, simply by the passage of a single statute in each State (if the matter is handled competently)…”

to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
