The Confederate Cause was suspended in 1865 by the surrender of our Confederate Armies and the dispersion of the members of the Government of the Confederate States of America. Our delegates representing us in our various State Governments were forced, quite literally at the point of a bayonet to rescind their Articles of Secession.
Soldiers and Citizens alike often chose between taking an Oath of Allegiance to the ‘Union’ or face execution, at the very least the termination of their rights. The good citizens of the Confederacy faced a barbaric treatment, that today would bring charges of crimes against humanity.
Since the early 1990’s an effort has been underway to relight the torch, and rekindle the fires of the Confederate Cause. The collective mission has been to liberate the Confederate States of America from occupation, subjugation and cultural genocide. However time may well be running out, if we are to prove successful, through lawful, peaceful and honorable means.
Quite simply the Yankee Empire is on the verge of self-imploding! 
It is critical to our long-term survival as a separate and distinct people and nation, indeed to our very freedom, that we reenter the political arena, not on a platform of Southern history, heritage and culture only, but as Confederates. There is no political party, be they Republican, Democrat, Libertarian or Southern, that will stand on a platform strong enough to support our cause. Therefore we must a candidate would will become as it were a forerunner a trailblazer, and run as an independent candidate.
The candidate we seek must in effect stand in the shoes of a fire-eater, and boldly stand upon a Confederate Nationalist Platform, as outlined in the Proclamation of Independence and in the The Confederate Creed. The issues is not whether or not a candidate can win an election while advocating the Confederate Cause, but how much he attracts the masses of the people to the Confederate Cause.
It is time for the Rebirth of a Nation, for the Confederate States of America to remerge upon the world stage as a free and independent people and nation. We cannot accomplish such a mission in a vacuum nor by soliciting members into our various organizations a few at a time; at the pace we have been going it will take a century or more. We just do not have that much time, therefore we must be able to address ‘we the people’ in mass.
Allow me to be straight forward, with no intention of being rude or undiplomatic, in saying that it is time to put up or shut up, to take action or get out of the race for independence. In order to gain access to the general population, we must attract attention to the Confederate Cause, and do so in a way whereby we cannot be ignored. A Confederate Political Candidate who is a charismatic, patriot prepared to espouse the principles laid down the documents hyper linked above, is the answer.
I am therefore asking everyone who loves all things Confederate and Southern, being loyal to the Confederate States of America, regardless of any organizational membership, to become active in locating such a candidate. However, in doing so it must be remembered, not anyone will suffice and espousing Southern history, heritage and culture only will not get the job done. Our candidate must be prepared to be extremely vocal in proclaiming the afore-mentioned hyper linked principles!
Additionally the man chosen must posses the ability to attract large crowds whenever and wherever he chooses, hold their attention and awe them with the spectacle of a true Confederate fire-eater. Our man cannot be just another good ole boy, but rather an educated man of experience and substance, as well as the means to successfully carryout such a campaign on meager means if necessary.
Once located and confirmed, our candidate will seek the Presidency of the United States, in the 2012 General Election, again not based upon whether or not he can win, but for the purpose of stirring up and attracting attention to the Confederate Cause. However he must campaign as if he truly believes an electoral victory is possible. We have approximately two years in order to locate such a candidate and we need all help we can muster.
Finally, those who still advocate and stand-by a platform of Southern history, heritage and culture only, should ask themselves if that tactic has ever worked; the answer is a resounding no, it has never worked. There is little reason to believe it will in the future, therefore it is time to become radicals for the Confederate Cause. When our last opportunity has faded, we will have only ourselves to blame for the tragedy that awaits us, if we procrastinate in complacency and compromise. “If a man can not stand firm for honor and principle before the footmen, what will he do when the horsemen come? Shall he compromise with tyranny in order to purchase ease and comfort for a season, at the expense of his own posterity? There are many among our numbers claiming to be Confederate and Southern while having already traversed the road of treason, caused by an attitude of procrastination, compromise and complacency. He who will surrender his own history, heritage, culture and nationhood today for the sake of ease and comfort, will surrender his liberty on that same alter tomorrow. In like manor, he who accepts the ways of his enemy, sells his soul to them, in due course of time, he will find the price measured in blood.
PLAN OF C.S.A. LIBERATION UPDATED
Power to the People. It was that power of the people in a Constitutional Convention that overthrew Unionist Governor Sam Houston of Texas and allowed the people of Texas to secede from the Union and join the Confederacy in Montgomery, Alabama. Attached is a summary of those events, “Texas Secession from the Federal Union,” as in the Declaration of Independence. Article I, Bill of Rights in the Texas Constitution of 1861 states: "All Political power is inherent in the people, and all free governments are founded on their authority, and instituted for their benefit; and they have at all times the inalienable right to alter, reform, or abolish their form of government, in such manner as they may think expedient; and, therefore, no government or authority can exist or exercise power within the State of Texas, without the consent of the people thereof previously given; nor after that consent be withdrawn."
Prophesies and fallacies. Many of us have labored for decades in vain attempts to reform the United States government and its drive for a Fascist/socialist Empire status in the world. We mostly came to the conclusion that such reform is not reasonably feasible nor even possible given the degradation of the general population in comparison to that which existed here in 1776. The demographics are distinctly different to our detriment. See Daniel 2:31 - 2:35. The United States today can be likened unto that great and terrible image that Daniel described which King Nebuchadnezzar had dreamt of whose feet were a combination of iron and miry clay as the people of the Federal Union are today (Liberals versus Conservatives). The image was not reformed, but broken up into parts.
President Jefferson Davis stated: “The principle for which we contend is bound to reassert itself, though it may be at another time and in another form.” During the on-going process of the Federation of States (a non-profit educational trust pressing for the Restoration of the C.S.A.), it was revealed to us like a flash of lightening that resurrection and restoration is at hand for our taking and the “keys” were revealed right there in the CSA Constitution. How simple is the key left for us to unlock the closed doors of our CSA government.
The Key – the Key? Where is the Key to freedom, and liberation of the CSA? Why it is right there in the Constitution. In Article I, Section II(1) the last sentence states:
. . . no person not a citizen of the Confederate States, shall be allowed to vote for any officer, civil or political, State or Federal.
National re-staffing of the CSA, from the bottom up in the Voter’s Registation Drive to recruit new C.S.A. Citizens, then, legally is the resurrection of the Confederate States of America!. We are doing it with Registrars over 21 states.
The C.S.A. has been Restored! Perhaps we have failed to relay to many of you the fact that the actual Restoration of the Confederate States of America began publically in November 2004 and is a functioning interim Government today. This is the real deal! See www.CSAgov.org The Constitution of the Confederate States of America 1861 makes it clear that only Confederate citizens may vote and in order to hold office a person must be a Confederate Citizen. Also, you know that the government of the C.S.A. never surrendered and was never given a peace treaty by the United States (Federal Union). Likewise, none of the 13 Confederate States ever surrendered, but they were forcible ejected from their State houses by Yankee troops and were replaced by Washington appointees thus creating Satellite State governments and ignoring the Confederate State governments of the people. Those men holding those legally elected Confederate State government offices simply died away of old age leaving the legal governments of the people in those states and the offices therein dormant, but still existing just as they were left in the national C.S.A. government offices.
Thus, to solve this problem legally and consistent with the Constitution of the Confederate States of America, the Constitutional Court ordered the creation of a Office of Registration and outlined a plan for the restoration and liberation of the Confederate States of America.
(1) Office of Registration was to be headed by a National Registrar who would appoint State registrars and they would appoint County Registrars for the purpose of registering C.S.A. Citizens to vote in a voter's registration drive. (A person can claim to be American, German or an Englishman and show his birth certificate therein, but if he does not register to vote, he is not allowed to vote by that Country. That is a world wide standard and the same held true for the Confederacy of 1860-1865 and, thus must hold true today as well. Otherwise, vote fraud can run rampant with infiltrators even voting to destroy our efforts.)
(2) Interim government is primarily of Individual Citizens and Constitutional Court Committees that are now running the Government and the Voter’s Registration Driveto recruit new C.S.A. Citizens.
(3) Voter’s Registration Drive. Once a State has enough C.S.A. Registered citizens from various parts of a State to be reasonably representative of the Confederates in the State, those Citizens may call a Constitutional Convention for the Registered C.S.A. Citizens. Their neighbors will not be able to vote unless they are also Registered to vote in Confederate elections as C.S.A. Citizens.
(4) Constitutional Conventions. At such a State Confederate Constitutional Convention a minimum number of citizens for each State to vote shall be a quorum based upon the Gideon number further explained later. The attending C.S.A. Registered Citizens will be asked to vote to uphold the national Confederate States of America Constitution of 1861 and also to affirm their acceptance of the Constitution of their own Confederate State of the 1861 era. Then they may elect their own Confederate Governor, Lt. Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, Treasurer and a couple of delegates plus alternates to attend a later scheduled national Convention of State elected delegates. That will legally re-staff the Confederate government of that State. However, that State government will still be under occupation by the Federal Union and its respective surrogate satellite state government and the C.S.A. Citizens will still be subject to such state and federal laws due to the illegal occupation.
(5) Transition of interim government Court Committees will evolve into Constitutional Confederate State Governments as States begin holding Constitutional Convention and elect Governors to replace the State Registrars.
(6) National Constitutional Convention of Confederate States. At the national Convention, which will be held in Southaven, Mississippi (5 miles south of Memphis) in 2007, the State delegates will first be asked to vote to accept the Constitution of the Confederate States of America.
(7) Reformation of the Senate. Next, the State delegates from at least seven (7) States will be sworn in as Senators of their respective States by the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court.
( 8) President and Vice President. The Senate will be asked to elect a President and Vice President for an executive branch of the national government.
(9) Certification of Constitutional Updates for Ratification. The Vice President will begin presiding over the Senate. the Senate will be asked by the Constitutional Courtto consider a number of propositions for updating the national Constitution such as removing references to slavery, and outlawing personal income tax (involuntary servitude) for citizens. Such measures as are approved and certified by the Senate will then be sent to the States for ratification or rejection. In this fashion the C.S.A. Constitution will be legally updated to current day conditions.
(10) Cabinet. The President will begin choosing his cabinet, including a Secretary of State, for Senate approval and the rudiments of the legal offices of the national government will have been re-staffed with living people. Again, this will be a National Government under Occupation a government within the occupational government making noise and building Confederate Caucus strength. In this early phase there shall be no salary for anyone and we will not yet have the tax base of the various satellite States.
(11) Confederate Caucus. Major recruiting will then occur. Much effort will then be spent in State held voter registration drives. (The national office of Registrar will be a depository of Citizens, but the State Registrars jobs will be taken over by the Governors of each Confederate State.) It is expected that a large influx of C.S.A. Registered Citizens will be recruited in each State and this, beyond just fortifying such State with Citizens, will build a Confederate Caucus who can vote in the Satellite State elections (using their American Citizenship) and place Confederates in the legislatures and other offices of the State including that of Governor. Building a large Confederate Caucus can be likened unto putting flesh upon the resurrected dry bones spoken of Ezekiel 37:1-10. The breathe of life blown into them that they might live is like unto breathing the fire of the spirit of the Restoration into them. that they might arise and stand on their feet to be an exceeding great army.
Remember, we do not need millions and millions of educationally reconstructed people on our side, of whom only about 8% to 15% of them even bother to vote in non-Presidential years.
General Washington only had about 1% of the American people willing to openly support him in his war of defense against the British Empire Military. As the war developed about 3% of the people supported General Washington and the new government for the united States whose Constitution had been ratified in 1781. There were reportedly about 100,000 monarchists and Tories who fled to Canada from the American Colonies rather than join with them against the British. We won anyhow, and perhaps even better without those defectors called by the British as “Loyalists”. Gideon in the book of Judges defeated 135,000 Midianites with only 300 choice men and the Arm of the LORD. Therefore, we have determined that with a core of 300 such men divided up by the Southern States, we shall, with the blessing of the LORD, bring the Restoration and Liberation to pass.
(12) General elections will be scheduled for C.S.A. Registered Citizens to vote for the C.S.A. House of Representatives thus forming the two house national Congress. This should occur sometime a year or so later than the Southaven Constitutional Convention of Confederate States.
(13) Merging Satellite States into the Confederate States once the Satellite State becomes Confederate controlled, their legislators can vote to merge into their existing Confederate State thus formally refurbishing the Confederate State and eliminating the Satellite State and providing the Confederate State with a tax base and an exceeding great army of State Guard Units and the Militia of the people. Surprise, see “Texas Senate Resolution #526" passed in 1999.
(14) Liberation. On the heals of that move, such a Confederate State can vote a Bill of Liberation which would include the Termination of Occupation by the Federal Union including Federal Courts, Marshals, Federal Troops (excluding that State's National Guard which will be severed from Federal control), etc. These strong measures must be undertaken the same week by at least 7 other States, thus forming a very strong coalition or Confederacy. This would produce a Ukrainian-style standoff.
(15) Peace Treaty. We will have been requesting a Peace Treaty from the United States (Federal Union) and be willing to hold beneficial and positive negotiations of friendship and cooperation with the United States, Canada, France, Spain, Portugal, Ukraine, Central and South American nations and Mexico in particular, but not excluding other peaceful nations.
We will be a nation of around 125,000,000 people, have close to half of the land mass of the present United States and an economy that would place us as about the 6th or 7th wealthiest nation in the world and a peaceful history of never having attacked another nation. Our military will be made up of the National Guard units of some18 to 23 States making us a world class military power for defense.
(16) Christian Nation. We are primarily a Christian nation, but offer religious freedom to other religions to practice and worship as they please so long as the rights of others are not infringed, including the right not to be dictated to by tiny minorities due to complaints against majority expressions of religious holidays or symbols. The Ten Commandments are the Civil laws given to the 12 tribes of ancient Israel through Moses and were the basis for their statutes and judgments and later for much of Western law. The Ten Commandments should be in every court house and schoolhouse of the land as should the Christian Bible as in the earlier days the United States. Our emphasis on local and State rule returning our nation to the LORD GOD shall make us a free and happy nation and our citizens will not be burdened with personal income tax.
(17) Citizenship requirements in the C.S.A. According to the CSA Constitution of 1861applicants of 18 years old or more were required to be born in the South. Practice and allowance by Congress permitted persons not born in the South, but who had lived in the South at least 6 months to also be eligible. Citizens were required to be 21 years of age to vote. Thus today we require a copy of the birth certificate of the applicant or proof of 6 months residency, a signed contract application, and $50.00 for the registration fee. There are no dues, but voluntary donations are certainly needed.
(18) Young Under Age Warriors. From time to time different young men who are under age teenagers (less than 18), but who are advanced in their knowledge of history and also have a strong desire to see the Confederacy restored often write us for opportunities to take active part in the process. Unfortunately, legalities prevent us from such recruiting. If their parents are active, they can participate under their direct supervision and responsibility, but not under the Confederate States of America responsibility. There are Confederate organizations who enlist cadets, perhaps with parental permission, for supportive activities and rallies, etc. To such young men, the Government will be delighted to have them as Citizens when they are of age if they qualify.
(19) Checks and Balances. Plan of Government with Ten (10) Checks and Balances.
1. Executive Branch - President and Vice President both elected by the Senate.
2. Legislative Branch - Senate elected by State Legislators & House elected by people in districts.
3. Judicial Branch - Supreme Court, Appeal Courts between States, (State Courts under State Supreme Courts and not answerable to the national courts).
4. Constitutional Courtwith Jurisdiction over Constitution and instead of the Supreme Court having such jurisdiction. Constitutional Court is made up of 3 - 9 Governors and/or State Registrars (during interim period) who are elected by the CSA Council of Governors.
5. States as sovereign Republics with State Regulated Militias, State and National Guard units and the right of nullification or secession. (State’s Rights).
6. CSA Council of Governors - Check on Legislature & Budget approval & Resolve interstate disputes between States. Also, a check on Judiciary holding rights to bring Impeachment charges against the Executive, Legislators, and Judges for trial before the Senate.
7. Juries of true peers. (Not controlled by the Prosecutors). Juries were meant to protect citizens from abuses of government prosecution as well as to protect the people from criminals. (Not controlled by the Prosecutors).
8. Sheriffs and their posses. Local law enforcement. Sheriffs can deputize local people or Militia members of their County to serve under their direction in enforcing the law and protecting the citizens.
9. The People’s unregulated militia. All able bodied men are part of the unregulated militia with ultimate power over the government which they or their forefathers created. Declaration of Independence.
10.The Judgments from the LORD God with the Consequences of disobedience.
Ultimately, however, the responsibility falls upon individual citizens to protect their own families and their neighborhoods and they should not necessarily depend upon others to do this. The individual CSA Registered Citizen, by contract, shall be a fundamental unit of the Government and the ninth separation of power in the checks and balances of our government operating individually as well as in groups or militias.
