For whatever reason, many who had volunteered to serve their member(s) of Congress apparently received the Petition package(s) from us (at no cost) but decided not to serve it – i.e., they simply failed to do what they had committed to do as part of this historical project.
The issue comes down to knowing who to trust: Who among us has the passion and has truly made the struggle to restore constitutional order a priority in their lives?
The vast majority of the volunteers certainly earned the trust of all of us who are engaged in the struggle. They served the cause of Freedom well by timely, intelligently and professionally serving the Petitions for Redress on over 400 members of Congress. We are sincerely grateful for their service to the People and to our Constitution.
However, dozens of others have apparently demonstrated that they are less worthy of our trust. Despite having made a public commitment to serve the Petitions, these individuals ultimately decided to keep the Petition package, rather than serve it as they promised to do.
Did these people have a legitimate personal situation which kept them from participating? Were they simply seeking a free souvenir? Were they confused because the website showed that others had also signed up to serve particular congressman so they simply kept the material for themselves, assuming that others would serve the Petitions? Did they have any intention of honestly participating in this precedent-setting project to hold the government accountable to the Constitution? Were they agents of special interests (such as the Government) seeking to disrupt our project?
We may never know the answers to these questions. What we do know is that the failure of so many to timely serve their congressmen has substantially delayed our schedule of events. We also know there appears to be a rather significant number of people who have not yet earned our trust.
To be sure, we must be very careful about who we rely on for the successful execution of Phase 2 of the Plan to Restore Constitutional Order.
