"The following
statement by Attorney James Leuenberger is very bold. It is also
100% factual. When the American people start electing men who possess
the following convictions, our nation will have the opportunity
to correct the completely misguided course it is on. Until then,
our nation will continue on its path to destruction." --Edward

My Fellow
Oregonians,
I am running for the U.S. Senate because the federal government has
completely abandoned the Supreme Law of Our Land. The US Constitution
is the grant of power for the federal government and it contains the
limits of power for the federal and state governments.
1. The federal government is not authorized to own land except for
the District of Columbia and,
“Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the
State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines,
Arsenals,
dock-Yards and other needful Buildings.” - US Constitution
Article I, §8, Clause 17.
The federal government should divest itself of all Oregon land that
is not being used for Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards and other
needful buildings. The federal government should convey all of its
land in Oregon not being used for purposes permitted by the US Constitution
to the State of Oregon without compensation, as it was taken unlawfully.
2. All
federal statutes that appear to restrict or make illegal the keeping
or bearing of arms are unconstitutional and are therefore void.
They should be repealed. The 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the
United States clearly uses the words “shall not be infringed.” This
statement literally means shall not approach, or shall not restrict.
3. US
Constitution Article I, §8 is the source of Congressional
authority. All laws that purport to create legislation Congress was
not authorized to create are unconstitutional and void. They should
be repealed. By the same token, Article I, §8, Clause 1 says, “All
legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of
the United States....” This means the Congress alone has the
power to create laws. This means that neither the Executive (the President
and administrative agencies) nor the Judiciary has lawful power to
create laws.
4. US
Constitution Article I, §8, Clause 4 says that Congress
is “to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization....” It
is Congress, not the Executive or the Judiciary, that is to determine
who and how people can become citizens of the United States.
5. We, the people, not the government (federal or state), are sovereign.
The President of the United States is not sovereign. Congress is not
sovereign. Judges and courts are not sovereigns. When officials act
without authority, they should be made to reimburse their victims for
the damages they cause. Statutes and judicial rulings to the contrary
should be repealed.
6. Congress should provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining
the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed
in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively,
the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the
Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress. Every adult
man and woman who does not have conscientious objection to military
service should be organized, armed, and disciplined in the Militias
of their respective states.
7. The only federal court that is required by the US Constitution
is the Supreme Court. Congress should give serious consideration to
eliminating all federal courts inferior to the Supreme Court.
8. The watch words before any federal official or group of federal
officials act should and must be, “by what authority?” If
the act is not authorized by the US Constitution or constitutionally
promulgated law, it should not be done.
9. US Constitution Amendment IX says, “The
enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed
to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” The federal
and state courts should stop ignoring this amendment.
10. US Constitution Amendment X says, “The
powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,
nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The
federal and state courts should stop ignoring this amendment.
Oregon, a vote for me is a vote for the Constitution.
Humbly,
James Leuenberger
