For Immediate Release

Americans Rising for the Constitution:
We the People deliver Freedom Document to Elected Officials
in Every State on April 19th

St.Paul, Minnesota, Tuesday, April 13th, 2010 – The Voice of Freedom will be heard across America on April 19, 2010 (Patriots Day), as people in every state gather at their state capitols to participate in a Re-Dedication Ceremony to Creator, Country and Constitution and to serve the Articles of Freedom on elected officials -- a non-political document which seeks to stop violations to the Constitution and restore constitutional governance. The special program will last 35 minutes and will be at the same time moment in time across time zones– 9 AM HST, 11 AM AKDT, 12 Noon PDT & MST, 1 PM MDT, 2 PM CDT, 3 EDT. In YOUR STATE, enter who what when where how details.

PLEASE NOTE: Our St.Paul ceremony on the South side of Capitol building will begin at 1pm NOT 2pm Monday, April 19th!

The Articles of Freedom are the non-political work of the Continental Congress 2009, a group of 116 citizen-delegates who met for 11 days in St. Charles, Illinois from November 11-21, 2010. The contents address fourteen violations, each of which has had a devastating effect on our economy and our Nation. Each Article includes “Remedial Instructions” to federal and state government officials, designed to end the violations. There is no other known document or plan in America at this time that is in compliance with the U.S. Constitution and shows the people and a rogue government how to put the nation back on track. The Articles contain a pledge that asks citizens to join with a “goodly number of millions” to hold elected officials accountable to their Oath of Office, through obedience to the Constitution.

The April 19th ceremony will include a Color Guard and Procession of Flags; a prayer; singing to America; the Pledge of Allegiance and America’s Creed; a talk about the Purpose of the Articles and why they are being served on elected officials; and an opportunity for participants to re-dedicate themselves to the Constitution, Its protection and defense.

In every state, the two U.S. Senators, the member of the U.S. House of Representatives whose district includes the state capital city, the Governor and the Head of each Chamber of the State Legislature have been invited to receive the Articles.

Those who do not attend the ceremony will be served at their offices immediately following the event.

“The First Amendment guarantees the Right of the People to Petition their servant government for a Re-Dress of Grievances,” says Robert Schulz, chairman of We the People Foundation and visionary behind the Continental Congress and the Articles. “We have petitioned for every major violation of the Constitution since 1994. Our Petitions have been answered with Silence and repeated injury to our economy, our people, our Republic and our Sovereignty. The Articles of Freedom is a legal, constructive document rooted in the Constitution. We will serve it on our elected officials as the appropriate next step and wait for their response. The Constitution is not going to defend itself and it is obvious the government has no intention to do so. It is now up to the People to peacefully and lawfully take this next step,” added Schulz. “The Ceremony which will take place in every state represents the conscious return of the People to their role as Freedom Keepers for our Charters of Freedom. We await the day when every elected official in America, regardless of party, will have the sole purpose of upholding the Constitution in the governmental affairs of the People, and our citizens, in turn, will be vigilant – in every state and at the federal level – to hold them accountable,” he concluded.

The coming nationwide event is open to all who want to show support for the Constitution. To participate in the ceremony, people should visit www.articlesoffreedom.us to download, print out and bring along a special program, which includes song lyrics and other needed information. The website will also provide specific details about each state event.
