Dear
Pastor; Restore Prosperity and Bible; Prolonging Our Days
in the Land Bible: We Ought to Obey God
Rather than Man Bible: To Guide our Feet in
the way of Peace The Deuteronomy
5:33 Ye shall walk in all the ways
which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may
be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye
shall possess. Acts
Luke
1:79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and
in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. This
once most prosperous nation on earth is now in a dive toward financial
failure. STATE
1 WE
HAVE HISTORY ON OUR SIDE REGARDING PROSPERITY. THERE
IS HOPE BECAUSE WE WORSHIP OUR CREATOR GOD OUR
EARLY YEARS GIVES DIRECTION In
our first 100 years, with much smaller federal government, we became the
greatest wealth producer on earth by 1893; in the last 27 years of that 100
year era we produced 20 federal annual surpluses with 7 deficit years. The
federal tax rate was about 4% and it was collected via the tariff, no forms
for the average person to complete and submit. The average wage was about 7
cents per hour. (No federal minimum wage laws). HOW
THAT WEALTH PRODUCTION CAME ABOUT With the integrity of a significantly Christian
population, relatively sound money, legally binding contracts and “supply and
demand” wages; and a small federal government - the PEOPLE GREW THE
ECONOMY; companies hired labor, they built and sold products and
competition kept the company’s competitive. Such that by 1893 we produced the above stated
wealth. http://www.digitalhistory.uh.edu/disp_textbook.cfm?smtid=2&psid=3158
http://www.revival-herbpeters.com/money.htm THE
EARLY WAY OF LIFE Schools
used the New England Primer to teach reading and writing and taught that
there is a God and how to pray. That
learning guide was very popular, “This
IS a Christian Nation,” per Supreme Court Syllabus. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/143/457/case.html http://www.revival-herbpeters.com/ed.htm
STATE 2
OUR NATION: THE PEOPLE LOST THEIR WAY 1890
THE FALL OF OUR NATION BEGINS: In
the latest 127 years, we have and are continuing to vote for more government;
which we can no longer afford. And we have been the victims of problematic
Supreme Court decisions that have allowed our government to grow excessively
and now, I believe, that we are on verge of hyperinflation. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-07-16/how-likely-hyperinflation-us
CAUSES OF EXCESSIVE COST OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INTERVENTIONISM
SINCE 1890: It Grew Grew Grew ·
We
have 800 Military Bases on foreign soil. http://www.revival-herbpeters.com/foreignbases.htm
·
We
have had six non defensive wars: Spanish American War of 1898, WW1, WW2, PROGRESSIVISM Good
“Intention” to help the people by adopting programs using powers not granted
in the constitution. We added to our federal
budgets: Social Security in 1935, Education in 1940, and Health Care in 1965;
costs of these programs are bringing our federal government to its knees
financially. MANDATED
DEFICIT SPENDING IN 61ST YEAR Our
federal law requires deficit spending since our obligation to pay exceeds all
federal income, including income for Medicare and Social Security. VAST
UNDER REPORTED DEBT Cash
based accounting under reports the true debt and that debt reported
exceeds $20.493 trillion. MEDICARE
AND SOCIAL SECURITY FUTURE
UNPREDICTABLE Congress
created Medicare and Social Security programs providing massive income to the
federal government; but it has spent all that money on current bills. (They
have an IOU on file naming those who paid into system). By
already spending the money taken in for these programs and by promising to
pay in the future, it has created an unfunded liability estimated to be $210
trillion. https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnmauldin/2017/10/10/your-pension-is-a-lie-theres-210-trillion-of-liabilities-our-government-cant-fulfill/#ebf9d1065b1f
The
above is applicable if the congress continues to pay. In
1960 The Supreme Court ruled that no such contract exists, and that there is
no contractual right to receive Social Security
payments. Payments due under Social Security are not “property” rights and
are not protected by the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flemming_v._Nestor
HOW
LONG CAN THE DEFICITS CONTINUE? Today
we are deficit spending $2 billion per day, 7 days a week. It makes us feel
wealthy, hiding the reality that we are close to being broke. Congress is
vastly under reporting the real debt. Example
of the significant under reporting:
The quotes are from the following website http://www.shadowstats.com/article/federal_deficit_reality “ if the U.S. Treasury had seized all
wages and salaries in 2003 with a 100% income tax, there still would have
been a deficit!” Also, from same web
site: The “popularly reported 2003 budget deficit was $374 billion” and “ the actual annual shortfall in GAAP The
purpose of GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) is to ensure that financial
reporting is transparent
and consistent from one organization to another. http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/GAAP-generally-accepted-accounting-principles

. Sorry to say, that about one of seven This
letter is intended to motivate the Church to educate the Christian people so
that we know the problem(s) with our government and what to do to fix them.
The big challenge is to fix our congress so that it will steer our government
back to compliance with our constitution; as written! The
Church was very involved in our pre constitution days; Election Day sermons were common
practice in 18th Century Now
our people need the Church more than ever before. In
our favor, there is a super majority of Christians in our population. PRESIDENT
JAMES GARFIELD; IN OFFICE MARCH
TO SEPTEMBER 1881, ASSASSINATED CHARACTER
OF CONGRESS QUOTE “Now more than ever before, the people are responsible
for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and
corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and
corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people
demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature ...
If the next centennial does not find us a great nation...it will be because
those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the
nation do not aid in controlling the political forces.” http://www.quoteland.com/author/James-Garfield-Quotes/1983/ THE JOHNSON AMENDMENT “purportedly motivated by activities of
charities allied to one of his (Johnson’s) opponents during his 1954 primary
election.” This quote from this web site:

. To restore our country to its constitution and the
freedoms and liberties will require some corrections; such as constitutional
amendments. These corrections, I believe, can only come about with the unity
of Christians; united by Churches working together to elect congress persons
that will vote for the amendments needed; A HUGE CHALLENGE. These are Article V error corrections. This video discusses Article VI corrections; action
on this front is very optimistic in potential of changing the attitude of
congress persons that are in office. Please see this one hour video: “Reign in
Big Government” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3MQ4wHjULw&feature=youtu.be
The Church, in history, has been very active in the
shaping of our government. See chapter 3 of “The New England Clergy and The American
Revolution;” https://archive.org/stream/newenglandclergy00bald#page/18/mode/2up
President Trump has promised to repeal the Johnson
Amendment which (I believe unconstitutionally) limits Church activities in
elections. As one example constitutional amendment: we could
amend the constitution to prohibit abortion. To do that we first must elect a
congress of which 2/3rds in US House and Senate would vote for proposal to
amend the constitution. Another challenge is the income tax repeal; that law
is a significant divider of Christian votes. That is an obstacle that
probably could be overcome, possibly, with the guidance of the Church. In the What can the Church Do? I believe that the Church
can teach the truth to both adults and children about the constitution and
violations of constitution and what the government has done to us as a result
of the demands of the people. (This, because the people have lost sight of
the meaning of the constitution.) The action of the Church, I believe, is urgent. The
people do not seem to know that the government is deficit spending to
maintain the appearance of tremendous wealth. Last government fiscal year,
(ended Thanks for your consideration of this and attached
and referenced information. It is my prayerful hope that you will consider
helping in the effort to “Prolong Our Days in the Land? It is my hope to contact many Churches in
