What needs to happen in America to preserve our sovereignty?

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.\n\nThis is directly from the Declaration of Independence. It means those who have the ability to act have the responsibility to act.

This country has already fallen apart and is in chaos.  It is only a matter of time as to when we are under complete UN control and lose the rest of our Constiutional protected rights.\n\nIn Liberty, peace and love,\nEric H. Smith\nwww.erichsmith.com

I would first make all americans realise that this great country build on solid christian foundations realise that we have gone astray from the biblical principals and the convictions of our founding fathers. I would call for a fast and ask the nation to rededicate itself to God and cleanse the nation of all ungodliness and get rid of all idolatory and sin and once again urge people to honour God and follow what God wants us to do.

Some wise guys once said-\n"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."\n\nIn other words, it is our duty to revolt against oppression and dictators and ensure our constitution represents the needs of the people.\n\nIt was the founding fathers of the United States who wrote these words into the Declaration of Independence and they apply just as much today as 200 years ago.\n\nThe only problem is many people are scared because of the all the "don't go there, its treason" clauses inserted by law makers ever since to stop reform.\n\nTime is up. America needs change.\n\nhttp://united-america.org

No. If we continue on in this manner we are doomed to self destruct and become a second world country. The number one problem with the American people is that we for some reason think that only people who have never struggled to make it understand the needs of the other 85% of Americans.

I am a Christan and would fight to the death for my country. \n\nAs for how America will fall, I seriously doubt we will fall from outside forces. We WILL fall and we will fall from within. The signs are already there. (but I do feel we are still about 75-100 years from that)

America will see on Monday that the immigrant community is what keeps this country moving. NO immigrant is illegal. This land wasnt ours to begin with.

I think as Americans all we truly want is to be treated fairly, and for the entire world to experience the peace and freedom we take for granted every day. We need a new strong leader that has the ability to convey this message to the world. We as a populace need to realize how the rest of the world views us. We can shrug it off and say we don't care what the rest of the world thinks.... but we really do. We need a new direction. To restore our "soft power", we need to be very careful about who we elect in '08.

I'd look at the Monroe Doctrine (i think).  It has a statement by a former president that says that the American dream should be for the country to touch the atlantic and the pacific.  \nUS rail system encouraged travelers & those moving by providing efficient transportation.\nFed Govt encouraged this by buying, annexing, and winning by force property that is now the United States.\nNative Americans presented a barrier and discouraged those moving to live in a place where raids were frequent.  The US should have made terms with the Native Americans to make peace in the beginning.\nImmigrants went where ever jobs were needed, so they were always ready to move somewhere else if they could get a job.\nHope it helps.

That is the best thing I have heard in a long time. Unfortunately some nut ball leftist will try and have it overturned. Until every Town, City and State decides that Yes, we will obey the laws of the land and prosecute and penalize anyone that assists any criminal activity, we will continue to be infested with crime and leaches. I truly hope that we can end this criminalization of our civilized society (what's left of it) and then once again become the Proud Patriotic law abiding citizens that the great UNITED STATES OF AMERICA stands for.

In an Article entitled “Why it's over for America” the respected speaker provided by your link wrote:\n An inability to protect its citizens. The belief that it is above the law. A lack of democracy. Three defining characteristics of the 'failed state'. And that, says Noam Chomsky, is exactly what the US is becoming. In an exclusive extract from his devastating new book, America's leading thinker explains how his country lost its way. \n The selection of issues that should rank high on the agenda of concern for human welfare and rights is, naturally, a subjective matter. But there are a few choices that seem unavoidable, because they bear so directly on the prospects for decent survival. Among them are at least these three: nuclear war, environmental disaster, and the fact that the government of the world's leading power is acting in ways that increase the likelihood of these catastrophes. It is important to stress the government, because the population, not surprisingly, does not agree. \n That brings up a fourth issue that should deeply concern Americans, and the world: the sharp divide between public opinion and public policy, one of the reasons for the fear, which cannot casually be put aside, that, as Gar Alperowitz puts it in America Beyond Capitalism, "the American 'system' as a whole is in real trouble - that it is heading in a direction that spells the end of its historic values [of] equality, liberty, and meaningful democracy".\n The "system" is coming to have some of the features of failed states, to adopt a currently fashionable notion that is conventionally applied to states regarded as potential threats to our security (like Iraq) or as needing our intervention to rescue the population from severe internal threats (like Haiti). Though the concept is recognised to be, according to the journal Foreign Affairs, "frustratingly imprecise", some of the primary characteristics of failed states can be identified. One is their inability or unwillingness to protect their citizens from violence and perhaps even destruction. Another is their tendency to regard themselves as beyond the reach of domestic or international law, and hence free to carry out aggression and violence. And if they have democratic forms, they suffer from a serious "democratic deficit" that deprives their formal democratic institutions of real substance.\n Among the hardest tasks that anyone can undertake, and one of the most important, is to look honestly in the mirror. If we allow ourselves to do so, we should have little difficulty in finding the characteristics of "failed states" right at home. \n\nhttp://www.google.com/custom?q=Noam+Chomsky&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=ISO-8859-1&client=pub-5174720432180771&cof=FORID:1%3BGL:1%3BBGC:FFFFFF%3BT:%23000000%3BLC:%230000ff%3BVLC:%23663399%3BALC:%230000ff%3BGALT:%23008000%3BGFNT:%230000ff%3BGIMP:%230000ff%3BDIV:%23336699%3BLBGC:336699%3BAH:center%3B&domains=informationclearinghouse.info&sitesearch=informationclearinghouse.info&start=10&sa=N

This is a thoughtful question..........Yes, this is a real possibility. America has always stood for the premise of what our country was founded by our forefathers.  Today we have so many people that want to enjoy the "freedom" of our Nation but do not want to accept the responsibilities. Many people do not hold to the same beliefs of the Bill of Rights or the Constitution...........they think of self and the dollar.  Many of the same 7 reasons Rome fell exist in the United States today.  Others have touched on the reasons, this weakens our nation. We need to take back the strengths that we held true in the 20th century and prior years.

Good question - when will Americans realize that they do need other people?  When will Americans realize that the world doesn't stop at their border?  When will Americans realize that they need to be accountable for their place in the world?  When will Americans stop being such stupid, ignorant people?  When will Americans realize that no super-power lasts forever, and they fun in the sun will end?\n\nThe answer my friend is blowing in the wind...

And what do you think you'll have when you Destroy the American People?? \nAnd the American Infrastructure??\n\nThe United States will Cease To Exist\n\nDo you Think you'll be Free? Do you Think you'll be The Master of your Destiny? \n\nIf  WE THE PEOPLE  Don't Stop It,  It is going to Destroy us ALL Eventually.  \n\nThey(US GOVT.) will turn America into the same kind of country that Mexico is - a Fascist State with a tiny minority Controlling ALL the Wealth- and the rest of the people in Abject Poverty. \n\nWe Will ALL be The MODERN DAY EQUIVALENT Of Slaves - \n\nWealthy farmers and landowners have always considered the slavery as a birthright. Since the Civil War, it has been denied to them,\n\nBut they got it back with the WTO GATS-FTAA-NAFTA-CAFTA-agreements. \n\nAnd therein lies the strategy for addressing the question of illegal aliens, the so-called ‘guest worker’ programs, the sale of American citizenship for profit and the destruction of the lives of American citizens who are being crushed financially, emotionally and spiritually by the WTO trade agreements \n\nWe have to start calling it what it is - Slave Trade and we need to dig out our blue uniforms and fight the war against the Slavers once again.

Our number one focus and priority should be on gaining control of financial security with equal access to wealth for all legal citizens plus putting on hold any immigration and removal of the illegal current ones! Our voting system is not legitimate,honest or trustworthy in its current chaotic form! We need grassroots honest election process!Total Government Reform etc! Taking the money "power" control from the current structure would reverse the control by a minority and giving it to the Majority for equal access! The environment is a big issue however you have to remove the oil corporations strangle hold from switching to hydrogen gas/fuel cell Water is the answer cause it is the one natural source that recycles itself and does not leave or endanger the earths atmosphere but control of money by the majority is of the nations best interest and ultimate priority!
