Continental Congress 2009
Encyclopedia
Based on the premises that America is experiencing a Constitutional Crisis that is devastating to individual freedoms and liberties, and that in order to achieve meaningful reform, activists must go beyond Tea Parties, beyond elections and beyond petitioning, Continental Congress 2009 was convened to "determine a legal and peaceful means to stop the violations of The Constitution of the United States of America and to restore Constitutional governance."
Organized and financed primarily by the supporters of the We the People Foundation
, delegates assembled in St. Charles, Illinois
from November 11 to November 21, 2009 to discuss "abuses of the Constitution and to consider practical strategies which can bring about compliance with our Freedom documents, not only in our government at all levels, but in our individual lives".
The broad agenda format and definition of outcomes was published at the Continental Congress 2009 website. The Congress was promoted as a non-partisan, open format meeting to be web broadcast live.
The delegates were elected in elections in 48 states.
The majority of the event was webcast live. The archives of the proceedings, including opening and closing ceremonies and video of the guest experts on individual areas of constitutional violations, are available for public viewing.
The foundation of the information the delegates considered included the extensive Petitions for Redress of Grievance that Robert L. Schulz and the We The People Foundation served to members of all three branches of federal government over period of approximately fourteen years.
The work product of the Continental Congress 2009 is entitled the Articles of Freedom. It asserts fourteen violations of the Constitution for the United States of America and provides remedial instructions for the U.S. Congress and the state legislatures to remedy the violations.
