Unalianable Rights
Michale LeMieux
From the very beginning of our government the nation has been in a constant state of change. We have progressed in nearly every area of our human existence; except we seem to have forgotten or lost the true meaning of our countries creation -- freedom. Our nation was founded on the concept of individual freedom, where the individual was sovereign and the government was the servant. With individual freedom came individual responsibility. One of those responsibilities was to control errant government actions and the courage to hold the government accountable when they stepped beyond their enumerated powers. For without checks and balances of that power, well meaning men will seek to enlarge power in an effort to protect our freedoms. But, as the scales of justice shows, in order to maintain a balance between freedom and governance the roles of master and servant cannot change and still maintain balance. For once the government steps beyond it's bounds the only power that can be taken is from the rights of the people. In an effort to help spark a renewed understanding of what we have lost and the expansion of government beyond constitutional authority I wrote "Unalienable Rights."
Welcome
Mr. LeMieux left military duty at the end of 2005 after being medically discharged with over 19 years of combined military experience He currently works as an intelligence contractor to the US government.
Michael is a strict constitutionalist who believes in interpreting the constitution by the original intent of the founding fathers. His research has led him to the conclusion that the republic founded by the Constitution is no longer honored by our government. That those who rule America today are doing so with the interest of the federal government in mind and not the Citizens. Michael believes that all three branches of government have strayed far from the checks and balances built into the Constitution and they have failed the American people. A clear example is the Second Amendment, which the Supreme Court and the founders have all said was an individual right and could not be "infringed" upon, now has more than 20,000 state and federal laws regulating every aspect of the individuals right, a definite infringement.
He has traveled around the world living in 14 States of the Union including Hawaii, and visited (for various lengths of time) in Spain, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Korea,
Philipines, England, Italy, Germany, and Puerto Rico. Michael now lives in Nebraska with his wife, two of his three children, Mother in Law and grandchild. His hobbies include shooting, wood-working, and scuba diving when he can find the time.ABOUT THE BOOK
Welcome
The term Unalienable Rights, taken from the Declaration of Independence, is a term denoting rights not granted by government but derived from the Creator. The term literally means "a right that cannot be transferred or surrendered; esp., a natural right such as the right to own property." (Blacks law Dict. 7th edition) And what does Blacks say about natural rights "A right that is conceived as part of natural law and that is therefore thought to exist independently of rights created by government or society, such as the right to life, liberty, and property."
If we have these rights before the creation of the government and they are not derived from government, then the government has no constitutional legal authority to regulate or deny those rights and to do so is a usurption of power from the people.
There seems to be a misunderstanding in America today about what roles the constitution and “Bill of rights” play in regard to the American Citizens. Many believe that this venerable document grants, or is a guarantor, of our individual freedoms. We often hear people talking about their “Constitutional Rights” or “rights guaranteed by the Constitution”; however, they are mistaken.
The Constitution has very little to do with the American citizen. It was written to establish a Federal Government and to place the boundaries by which that government would operate. The constitution was never designed to provide or enumerate the rights of the citizens but to restrain the federal government from meddling in state and ultimately citizen affairs.
The Supreme Court has stated that "the power to tax a thing is the power to destroy that thing." They have also stated that rights cannot be taxed because the power to tax is the power to destroy. You have the right to property ownership, does that get taxed? You have the right to defend yourself, and to own the tools to do so, does that get taxed? You have the right to give of your treasures to whomever you wish, does that get taxed? You have the right to contract, does that get taxed? You have the right to land ownership, does that get taxed? The power to tax is the power to destroy and each and every right we have has a tax attached and that right has been destroyed to the degree of that taxation.
This book shows the depth to which we have lost our unalienable rights and shows how we no longer have the land of the free, we are the land of the enslaved.
