____________________________________________________________________ Add your own pet grievances to the list and attach another sheet if necessary. (Strike out and initial items on the front page which you believe should not be considered and discussed.) SIGN AGAIN here if you wrote in additional grievances: ______________________________ Your help is essential for petition success. In addition to the petition , petitioners must plan other non-violent "actions and deeds," to continuously remind ourselves and others of the failure of our Congress, and particularly the U.S. Senate, to uphold justice and improve government. We swear: (1) To request to be excused from jury duty on the grounds that all law breakers can not be logically tried as long as perjurers and other politicians are not persecuted correctly; (2) To save paper money or coin at home with Lincoln's picture to signify honest Abe's certain disapproval of the government's political sham trials; (3) To fly flags at three-quarter mast, to signify that liberty and justice may be at risk; (4) To wear patriotic (red, white, and blue) colored clothes on Fridays or more often, along with hats, T-shirts, etc. with Abe's picture and words and creeds about the cause; (5) To publicize the petition with posters, signs, bumper-stickers and frequent letters and articles to the news media; (6) To distribute petitions and speak out for individual participation in a democratic society; (7) To organize or participate in marches in state capitols and county seats from newspaper offices to capitols or court houses on national holidays. These "actions" to continue until ratification of a modernized constitution is complete. PS: How do you join Abe's Indignation League? There are no dues or monetary donations requested. There is no newsletter or magazine to buy. The League has no weird or hidden agenda, but only the goals of honest leadership and efficient government closer to home. You join by taking the petition in hand, looking into a mirror, pledging to uphold justice and liberty, swearing to the action items and distribution of the petition, and vowing to attend rallies. Your contribution is the time you donate to rallies and to distribute the petition and the cost of making copies, (e.g., a pyramid system of each person posting or distributing one hundred two-sided copies at a cost of about $20.00) is a small offering compared to the ultimate sacrifice of many of our countrymen. Mail, or take your petition in person, to your Secretary of State or Governor. You probably don’t need an exact street address to mail your petition to your Secretary of State; just address your letter to the Secretary of State at your State Capitol and it will get there. (PS 2; If you’re from the South and don’t like Lincoln, use some other name than Abe for your organization.) SOS: Caution, some
states may have laws or regulations concerning political action or campaigns
which apply to publishing and/or distribution of this petition. Rules can
vary from just simple registration to bookkeeping requirements on
expenditures etc., and reporting the results periodically to your Secretary
of State (SOS). Do not be intimidated by these statutes, a petition for a
constitution convention is clearly authorized by the 1st Amendment. If you
decide to spend over $100 in support of petition distribution, you should
probably register with your state SOS. For state registration, you may use
the Abe's Indignation League name followed by a number (such as ZIP code) to
designate your individual or local post.
