Restore America Directive - Citizens Committee to Restore America
Edward L. Haugland, Ind. Consultant IC/DOD retired executive, in collaboration with LTG Thomas McInerney USAF (ret), MG Paul E. Vallely US Army (ret) (Founder - Stand Up America US Foundation) are sending this Restoring America Directive to all US Governors. The Restore America Directive speaks to six specific actions we are requesting of all US Governors take action on to restore our Republic, Constitution, and power of the People.

Call for Action to Restore America
Dear Governor
The Citizens
Commission to Restore America represents a diverse set of citizens who seek to restore America by
exercising our Constitutional rights for a limited government such that “the
powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.[1]” To stop the government expansion, appropriation
of state and the people’s powers, and ever-expanding subversion of our Republic by a minority group
of authoritarians, we request your immediate action to
Restore America by:
1 – Declaring an invasion – To protect citizens against the
ongoing invasion of illegal immigrants and related increases in crime, death,
and violence[2]. This action should
include engaging Congress and the Department of Defense to provide for calling
forth the necessary Armed Forces to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress
Insurrections, and repel Invasions.[3]”
Action must be taken to eliminate the Cartels that are controlling and
directing the invasion. This is a National Threat. The State Governors need to act
as well to deploy their National Guard Forces to complement Federal Forces, and
in lieu of Federal action the states should deploy the National Guard. Our
nation cannot afford the financial, legal, social, educational, health, and
other costs or accept the concurrent violence and deaths from this invasion.
2 – Protecting Freedom of Religion and Expression – By enforcing
the rule of law and prosecuting those who impinge on the people’s 1st Amendment
rights of freedom of religion and speech. These rights are being infringed upon
by the majority via a minority set of extremists via intimidation, harassment, censorship,
or physical attack. A failure to consistently prosecute these illegal acts denies
God-given rights and enables tyranny over liberty.
3 – Protecting the Right to Bear Arms – Use executive
decrees and legislation to advance Constitutional and Permitless carry[4]
in all states. We must address the unanswered
explosion in crime and purposeful lack of accountability of criminal elements
that is further enabled by the defunding of police and persistent abuse of the
justice system by public servants who ignore the law. The people’s right to self-protection must be
upheld and expanded.
4 – Prosecuting Infringement of Constitutional Rights – Direct
local and state judicial and law enforcement elements to take any legal
measures to prosecute and hold accountable any federal, state, or district
officials and officers that are involved in the: Illegal and unconstitutional
imprisonment; Deprivation of life, liberty, or property; Unlawful search and
seizure; Denying due process of law; or Imposition of cruel and unusual
punishment without a speedy trial[5].
The weaponization of our federal
judicial and law enforcement elements against law-abiding citizens, including
the 6 January defendants still held and denied their rights, must be promptly
addressed. The individuals taking these illegal and unconstitutional actions reside
in, or transverse, multiple states. They
can be arrested or extradited for abridgment of constitutional rights[6].
Left unanswered, the purposeful abridgment
of constitutional rights will lead to a subjugated vice-free society.
5 – Prosecuting/Removing Public Servants for Abrogating their Oath
of Office – Per the Constitution, all state and federal executive,
judicial, and elected officials are required to take an oath of office[7]
and are bound by that oath. Federal and state legal penalties exist[8]
and should be applied for not fulfilling their oath. The penalties include
removal from office or position, prohibiting them from holding further elected
office, and potential fines or confinement.
Unless our public servants are held to account for their oath (e.g., District
Attorneys, Mayors, Members of Congress, etc.), our Constitution and laws will
ring hollow, and our Republic subverted from within.
6 – Restoring Election Integrity & Security – To restore
faith, integrity, and security of elections require several actions: Require a
state or federal issues identification to vote; Tighten legal requirements for
early voting; Restore paper-only ballots for elections (preclude use of any electronic
voting machines); Preclude and enforce restrictions on all forms of ballot
harvesting; and, Mandate a full state audit of a contested election before
certification. Failure to address these issues will further erode the trust, integrity,
and confidence in our electoral system to the point of failure.
We
request you take these actions in concert with other governors to fulfill your
Constitutional duties as defined in Article IV and more specifically the 10th
Amendment[9] to ensure a truly limited
government as defined by Articles I and II of the Constitution. These actions must be taken immediately to restore
and protect the people’s and state’s rights and power over federal incursion before
the 2024 election. Fulfillment of these actions will restore the people’s trust
in America and advance the resilience and security of our Republic. We stand
ready to assist.
Sincerely,
