Continental Congress 2009 was convened in St. Charles, Illinois, between November 11 and 22, 2009, to discuss fourteen violations of the Constitution for The United States of America, the Government’s refusal to listen or respond to the People’s First Amendment Petitions to Redress those Grievances for the past fourteen years, and to recommend a non-violent course of action for the Free People to put an end to those violations.
The conclusion of the work of Continental Congress 2009 is the sixty-one page, fourteen-article Document called ‘‘Articles of Freedom.’’
The detailed, factual record of the violations and the Government’s refusal to listen or respond to the People’s prior Petitions to Redress those violations is included in the Articles of Freedom. Also included are detailed, specific Instructions to the federal Government, and to each of the several states, designed to end the violations. Also included are recommendations for civic action by the People to ensure compliance with their Instructions.
Below is a summary of the contents of each of the fourteen articles of the ‘‘Articles of Freedom.’’
