Thank you so much for your column. More than anything I have ever read, your column captured the essence of my wishes and hopes for our world. In our race to have more and better of everything, much of what defines each of us as human beings has been lost.

America the Battlefield: The End of the Rule of Law
Click Here to Read the Commentary
Great writing that I completely agree with. I would go even further by saying that this can, and probably will, be interpreted to include people who disagree with government. I feel that we are heading toward Germany of old. I cannot believe how asleep we are while all this is going on. I loose more hope with every passing day. The attack on our liberty is incresses daily.
Keep up your great work.
What is there that we can do to fight, after the fact, this law that allows them to detain citizens? I had no idea that this was up for vote in Congress in December. And I understand that it is too late for just contacting my Congressman, although I am going to do that, also.
However, now that I am aware that this has passed and been signed by Obama, what can citizens do to bring this up to the Supreme Court for constitutionality of this law. I found and read the CRS Report for Congress, dated 2/24/2005, titled: "Detention of American Citizens as Enemy Combatants" and I am very concerned to realize that this has been an ongoing dialogue because of 9/11. Homeland Security is bad enough - searches to travel is dehumanizing enough - when and where do American Citizens stand up to be counted and demand the restoration of their freedoms as guaranteed by the Constitution.
Have we been a free people for so long that we now are willing to be brought under subjection because we fear terrorists? Is that all it takes to give up our rights as free people? Fear. So many have died to ensure our freedom, did they die in vain? I don't care the promises of Obama - why should I care about the word of a man - I care that the Constitution that guaranteed my freedom and protection from corrupt governments, is now being laid waste on the words of a man. No, I want my Constitutional rights upheld - the protection of due process, speedy trail, etc.
If possible, please inform me what options are available to me to address this political crisis.

General Comments
How on Earth can you use the word liberty in the same sentence with Lincoln? He violated our Constitution worse than any politician ever has and started us down the road to socialism and mercantilism. Lincoln ended our constitutional republic and replaced it with a nationalist empire. If you truly don't get it, then e-mail me and I will provide you with a list of books and reference materials that will explain it in detail.

Dear John Whitehead and everyone there at Rutherford,
Month after month, you are doing a great job there at the Rutherford Institute. Thank you for bringing these issues to the attention of people who might not otherwise notice. I especially appreciate articles such as these, "Ten Years After 9/11: Have We Become the Enemy of Freedom?", "The War on Drugs Has Become the War on the American People," even as I am sad when I reflect on the reality of the situation we find ourselves in, concerning the loss of traditional freedoms that Americans once shared.
The US Government, once sworn to upholding freedom and liberty, by degrees has become dedicated to the proposition that all men are enemies; enemies which require control, leashing, imprisonment, parasitic draining of life, and finally, liquidation and disposal. I love America: the beautiful mountains and shining seas show the handiwork of their creator. But so many in America are robbed and enslaved - or worse, enthusiastic robbers and slavers. Not figurative "slaves", but literal real slaves in real steal shackles, forced to work, or they suffer real, literal torture. And so few can even see it.
Thanks for shining some light in these dark areas of in the "land of the free."
Sincerely,
Doug

Flack jackets? I'm afraid you continue to be correct -- the country is dying.
Keep up the good work, while you can.

Dear Sir,
I stumbled onto your web site and after reading one of your "Speak Truth to Power" articles I had to read more. Great job. I find it incomprehensible that we don't see more of these types of coverage from the big media outlets...and that the public at large doesn't express outrage over the lack of quality coverage. I'm thankful there are some independent voices out there who are speaking out. Just hoping it will not all be too little too late.
Wanted to thank you for what you're doing.
Mr. Whitehead,
Re: "The transition to a police state will not come about with a dramatic coup d’etat, with battering rams and marauding militia."
Most coup d'états go totally unnoticed, just as ours did; on December 12, 2000 Supreme Court justices' William H. Rehnquist, Anthony M. Kennedy, Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Clarence Thomas were party to a coup d'état in America through their decision to deny the counting of Floridians' votes — in addition to violating Article 21 of the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Mr.Ruthorford,
I am a strong and very vocal opponent of water-boarding. I am angry that every Republican candidate for president has directly or indirectly supported water boarding with the exception of Ron Paul.
If you also oppose water boarding I hope you will say so on line and in one of your videos.
