Extended Question:

Religious views can be a point of contention for many. Most people love the founding fathers’ views on religious freedom which encouraged people to practice their religion as long as other people are not negatively affected. As an atheist, my concern is whether this will create conflict, considering it seems as though you are very open about God. Do you believe every human is entitled to their views and beliefs without threat of persecution or discrimination?

Answer:

Our Republic is restricted to management of the People’s common interests. Our Constitution was established to “secure the Blessings of Liberty” of the People pertaining to religion, politics, opinions, special interests, etc. The 1st Amendment guarantees everyone freedom of (or from) religion and the freedom to express their thoughts pertaining to those beliefs. Atheism, as other philosophical or spiritual beliefs, is considered private and therefore personal and is scrupulously respected. Please reference Religion in the De Jure Republic and these Ronald Reagan video clips for further study.

Extended Question:

How Much longer?? Back in 2007 i joined the Restore America Plan and went to several meetings and read thousands of emails and listened to hundreds of broadcasts over the years and I have not seen any change accept for the worse in fact things are even more disgusting in the Government and society every day. Yet I watch, listen and read and I see many get rail-roaded, some have even lost their life for standing up for the noble causes that bible believing good people should not have to fight. I first heard oh this thing is going to take at least 10 years to even begin to turn around; some say we are just sitting back and waiting; some say well any day now; others say change is coming, good things are coming but the bottom line is that line keeps disappearing, but not without a lot of talk. So I ask: WHEN will we the people get our country back?

Answer:

A quick note of clarification. The restore America plan (Rapp) started in 2010, and while it was a predecessor to the Republic for the United States of America and some former members of that organization are affiliated with the Republic they are two different things, in fact, Rapp no longer exists. Furthermore, anyone who was part of the restore America plan signed documentation separating themselves from that organization as a precursor to their affiliation with the Republic.

This is one of the hardest questions to answer. I have wondered some of these same things from time to time. I can imagine some of these same questions went through the minds of many of our founding fathers and mothers some 230- 250 years ago. Their battle for independence and liberty went on for at least 4 to 5 decades before it finally culminated with the ratification of the Constitution for the United States of America and the Bill of Rights. In part they likely had to deal with some of the same issues we are dealing with today. One of the biggest issues seems to be apathy. Many complain about the problem but few will actually do something to bring the solution about.

Only a very small percentage of the American people participated in the battle for independence from tyranny back then and we find the same is true today. A study of history tells us that many times there were simply not enough resources or people to get the job done. And yet through the Divine Providential Hand of our Creator the people were able to prevail. We are relying on that same hand of providence today. We need more people and resources to help with the process. Despite the challenges we are making great strides and no less inspired.

Many are anxious for the success of restoring moral constitutional government to America. It will require more people and resources to shorten the transition time. Don’t misunderstand this is not a complaint. Those of us who are truly working at this will by the hand of God get this done. Many have already and continue to sacrifice much in this cause. For the sake of all Americans we too would like to see the transition time shortened.

Let me give you an example; sometimes it takes weeks for one of us to be able to answer the questions that come to our website. Those who ask the questions get frustrated thinking we are ignoring them. We understand their frustration and would like to be able to respond in a more efficient manner. Our goal is to encourage people to find out what they can do to help. That would lift the load for everyone. The bottom line is people have to get involved. Our society does not foster this type of involvement.

When will it change? It will happen when enough of the American people stand up together shoulder to shoulder and peacefully in righteous fervor restore the Nation that rightly belongs to them. Until that happens we must continue to proclaim the message of liberty and show them why they have to stand. Keep in mind we cannot get discouraged or frustrated and we can never give up. We must take the challenge and responsibility of this ourselves and not wait for others to get it done. I would contend one thing. It is Bible believing good people that must fight this fight. More than any other people we should have the faith and fortitude to not become apathetic to this issue no matter how difficult it is. It is our God given duty to get on board and stay on board to maintain righteous lawful government. People who understand this are the people who make things change.

There is not now, nor has there ever been, a requirement regarding religion. The requirement is that you harm no one or their personal property. If your religious or personal views require, or cause you to violate that, then you will be held accountable. If you have taken an oath to or have an allegiance to another law form then you will have a problem with the laws of the land. If you act in an immoral or irresponsible manner and by doing so you harm someone you will be held accountable. If your religious or personal beliefs cause or require you to violate another’s rights, you will be held accountable.

It is really that simple. It is not the religion of an individual that will or will not cause them to be in right-or-wrong standing. It is however, the behavior and actions of an individual that matters.
