The Bill of Rights for Awakening Patriots
Most American citizens do not know their specific rights. Consequently, most American citizens have no idea why the Bill of Rights exists at all. The first 10 amendments were ratified December 15, 1791 in order to correct the original constitution. To be very specific, the first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, were written to make it very clear for all to see, that our innate rights as free people are recognized by the federal government and therefore, the federal government is prohibited from infringing on these rights.
Obviously, we the people have been sleeping and partying and watching sports and drinking fluoride and drinking collectivist kool aid for many, many generations. Now a portion of the population is beginning to rub its collective eyes in disbelief. As you peer out, through the haze of official propaganda provided by the corporate media, you will see the unaccountable and lawless federal government while it goes about its business as usual. But, if you know the Bill of Rights, you will realize that we the people are the bosses of the government, not the other way around. The only power that the government actually possesses is the power that it is granted by us. When we the people collectively stand up for our individual, God-given and constitutionally protected rights, we will awaken to a new day of freedom.
Here is my synopsized, but specific version of the Bill of Rights, followed by the Bill of Rights.
Amendment I The right of freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and of redress of grievances from the government.
Amendment II The right and necessity, in order to secure a free state, to form a militia and to keep and bear arms, as a means to defend the people from the government.
Amendment III The right of consent or refusal to allow soldiers to be quartered in a citizen's home.
Amendment IV The right, with very specific rules for mandatory warrants before ANY search on a citizen or his property by the government.
Amendment V The right, with very specific rules, to ensure due process and protection for life, liberty and property from the government.
Amendment VI The right, with very specific rules, for the citizen to know the nature and cause of accusation against and to be able to face an accuser, to obtain counsel and to a speedy trial by the government.
Amendment VII The right to a trial by a jury.
Amendment VIII The right to not be excessively fined, to not have an excessive bail set and to not be tortured by the government.
Amendment IX The rights listed here shall not be interpreted in such a manner as to infringe on other rights listed here.
Amendment X All powers and prohibited powers, not delegated to the United States in the Constitution are reserved for the states or to the people.
I highly recommend reading the Bill of Rights over and over again. I also suggest rewording the Bill of Rights and the Constitution itself, in order to fully comprehend the law of the land. I realize that the FBI and Homeland Security have both put out memos to their agents and to all law enforcement specifically stating that those who quote the Bill of Rights and the Constitution, among a list other groups and individuals, are potential terrorists. However, this outrageous act, by the very group that the Bill of Rights was penned and ratified to protect we the people from, says all any informed citizen needs to know about the true nature of our federal government.

I like that right not to be tortured regardless of how terrible the crime one has been convicted of committing. I wonder when that one takes effect.
We need to get back to these as guiding principles. A strong stand against government spying, false imprisonment, and torture would be a nice start.
Our founding fathers had a reason for writing those...they are probably upset with the torture ones..
Thanks, Walker.
Thanks for posting this -- much needed as our freedoms appear to be on life support these days!
I will have to read this a few more times to remember them.
laws only exsist for anyone who is not a rich white man
I just read somewhere that the Magna Carta has been revoked.
I thought Obama did away with Number 9........
Actually, you're one administration behind. George and Dick did away with those in October of 2001.
"I also suggest rewording the Bill of Rights and the Constitution itself"
Is this similar to people changing what they don't like in their religious documents?
How does "rewording the Bill of Rights and the Constitution itself" help anyone understand better the implications of those documents. If you are not able to understand the actual words written, how does changing the context assist in any manner ?
The Supreme Court has spent 200 years trying to understand the original words and they still can't get it right.
