The President of the
The White House
All these long months the lineaments of my family’s infelicity have been patiently and with great labor set before you with pitiful words. You have answered us pitilessly your silence, louder than words, conveying your haughty contempt for the innocence of my family. Congruent with your aversion to reason or prove, evidence and expostulations have failed to move you. You have impeached yourself.
We claim title to the protection of the law; you give glad consent to the grunting weight of brutality, subverting the law in furtherance of my family’s destruction.
We seek the succor of our faiths offspring, practical reason; you would, by force of law and regardless of established law, baptize us in relativism.
We support the public good; you cling to the cover of darkness wherein “the standard of justice depends on the power to coerce, the strong do what they have the power to do and the weak accept what they are forced to accept.”1
It is true that we possess no power or device that can force government—state or national—to employ the legitimate instruments of Constitution and statute to determine this dispute. However, the tenure of your office is good behavior and the consent of the people. From the latter you are now immune to direct action; of the former your malfeasance, and thus your political demise, is certain.
Government has delegitimized itself, its various members having done violence to the law and society. These are not charges without substance. Instances follow:
First, certain groups and individuals are virtually exempt from the correction of law. These include government and private terrorists alike who, purposely unacknowledged by law enforcement and armed with various government technologies (guns are now largely passé), murder rape and torture Americans with impunity. Moreover, they have created a sexual economy in which even the very youngest children are the currency.
Second, the Supreme Court, unchallenged, acting as supreme legislature, has re-written then passed an act of Congress at the bench.
Third, for weeks following the debacle in Benghazi
We have come a great distance from our lovely republicanism, its friends now few those who would with great patience distort it, many. However, “There are progressions in which the last step is sui generis—incommensurable with the others—and in which to go the whole way is to undo all the labor of your previous journey.”2 We now appear to be in the latter stage of such a step. Many American leaders have, Fabian like, corrupted over a period of many decades, the United States
Can the veil of mystery that shrouds government be lifted? If so can the perversion that "make[s] power the primary and central object of the social system and liberty but its satellite"5 be rectified? And faced with liberty "abused to licentiousness"6 will we the people have the will to restore it? "[T]he pessimism of the intellect tells us Gomorrah
You will see that a diaper list and adult diapers have been included with this letter. Given the incontinent inclination of our government quislings it seemed appropriate. Wear yours well.
Yours Truly,
Lynn Swartos

The Union: Who are its real friends?
Not those who charge others with not being its friends, whilst their own conduct is wantonly multiplying its enemies.
Who are friends to the authority of the people, the sole foundation on which the Union rests.
The Union: Who are its real friends?
Not those who charge others with not being its friends, whilst their own conduct is wantonly multiplying its enemies.
Not those who favor measures, which by pampering
the spirit of speculation within and without government, disgust the best
friends of the Union.
Not those who promote unnecessary accumulations
of debt of the Union, instead of the best means of discharging it as fast as
possible; thereby encreasing the causes of corruption in the government, and
the pretexts for new taxes under its authority, the former undermining the
confidence, the latter alienating the affections of the people.
Not those who avow or betray principles of
monarchy and aristocracy, in opposition to the republican principles of the
Union, and the republican spirit of the people; or who espouse a system of
measures more accommodated to the depraved examples or those hereditary forms,
than to the true genius of our own.
Not those in a word, who would force on the
people the melancholy duty of chusing between the loss of the Union, and the
loss of what the Union was meant to secure.
The real Friends to the Union are those,Who are friends to the authority of the people, the sole foundation on which the Union rests.
Who are friends to liberty, the great end, for
which the Union was formed.
Who are friends to the limited republican system
of government, the means provided by that authority, for the attainment of that
end.
Who are enemies to every public measure that
might smooth the way to hereditary government; for resisting the tyrannies of
which the Union was first planned, and for more effectually excluding which, it
was put into its present form.
Who considering a public debt as injurious to the
interests of the people, and baneful to the virtue of the government, are
enemies to every contrivance for unnecessarily increasing it amount, or
protracting its duration, or extending its influence.
In a word, those are the real friends to the
Union, who are friends to the republican policy throughout, which is the only
cement for the Union of a Republican people; in opposition to a spirit of
usurpation and monarchy, which is the menstruum most capable of
dissolving it.
James Madison, National Gazette, April 2, 1792
