Dear Mr. Mueller,

In 1758 Emmerich de Vattel wrote these words in The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law: "It is very uncommon to see the laws and constitution of a state openly and boldly opposed: it is against silent and gradual attacks that a nation ought to be particularly on its guard...we overlook the changes that insensibly happen by a long train of steps that are but slightly marked.

Inspiring admiration and delight the Constitution and accompanying Bill of Rights promise freedom and yet they are too often entirely ignored or deliberately deformed. Now instead of fidelity to the law the legislating/regulating ever encroaching Executive branch (anything but enforce the law) indulges itself in the vagaries of circumventing a supine congress to make law and the vacuous claim that the lawful requirements of procedural due process can be replaced by their internal deliberations. If this does not satisfy we can, it is supposed, search the laws penumbras formed by emanations wrap up whatever we find there in a subjective substantive due process and call it Constitutional.

It is wondered what kind of inane babble is being used to justify (in your minds anyway) your relentless assault on the Swartos family. For almost a quarter century the government of the United States of America has sought, directly and indirectly, the destruction of our very lives, liberty, property and happiness. People states and nation have been ruthlessly silenced in pursuit of this end. Hence our repeated petitions for relief have been callously ignored thereby denying us remedial access to the courts. No guardian of principle, safety or security no respecter of any boundaries, government is now the overarching self declared sovereign of every nook and cranny of our lives. Thus our immunities from government have succumbed before a baleful tyranny.

For Madisonians however there is hope and a caution. In 1822 James Madison wrote: "A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but the Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy: or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." This is our challenge.

It is clear government does not have the strength of character to master itself. Nevertheless, one day Americas unedited First Amendment press will speak. When it does you will again have reason to shudder.

Sincerely,


Lynn Swartos
