A Message for the 110th Congress

From the pages of David Dary's: "The Oregon Trail" A message to "We The People" of the United States but specifically our elected representatives.

This is a quote from the 110th page for the 110th Congress. This was quite a discovery for me on Easter Sunday 2007. An Easter egg hunt i was on unwittingly while reading "The Oregon Trail" during 2nd floor security watch at Common Ground relief shelter at St. Mary's Church, New Orleans, upper ninth ward from 3am - 9am.

From page 110 and i quote, "The vote was 52 to 50. On that day Oregon's Provisional Government was born. A legislative committee of nine men was created to write a constitution. A handful of settlers wanted Oregon to be an independent nation , but they moved to California before the constitution was adopted in a meeting on July5, 1843. On that day the preamble was revised to read: "We the people of Oregon Territory, For purposes of mutual protection, and to secure peace and prosperity among ourselves, Agree to adopt the following laws and regulations until such time as the USA extend their jurisdiction over us."

This Organic Act, as it is called, created a legislature, an executive committee of three men, and a judicial system. The settlers were not taxed, but were encouraged to make donations through subscriptions to cover the expenses of their new government. In drawing up the laws and regulations, someone happened to have a copy of the laws of Iowa, and they were adopted.

Down the Willamette River at Fort Vancouver on the Columbia, John McLoughlin received and rejected an invitation that the Hudson's Bay Company join the new government. McLoughlin then added a bastion to the fort and increased its defenses, claiming he did so because of unrest among Indians, but many American settlers believed McLoughlin was more fearful of the organized American settlers and reports he had received telling of belligerent speeches against Britain in the American Congress."

To the memory of those pioneers who traveled the Oregon Trail

This small passage has weighty value for our congress and We The People Today. It would be refreshing to hear the Congress and Senate take on the domestic issues here at home rather than neglecting them, abandoning our people in the process of fighting a 'War On Terror," coming to a town near you in the name of 'Enduring Freedom.'

On page 109 the day was disclosed as one May 2, 1843. Author David Dary provides insight as to the make up of the 102 who voted. "Fifty-two of the settlers were Canadians with instructions from John McLoughlin and the Hudson's Bay Company to head off the attempt."

Question for all who have read this far? What is the United States? What are it's interests?

Many of you are more suited to be loyal to a corporation than a citizen of theses United States!

If you are offended or surprised by that statement then i am definitely talking / typing to you, sir or mam.

Do you wear a Hudson's Bay Co. T-shirt today? If you do then you fit into that category as well. It is time to stand up on your hind legs and fight for the freedoms that the brave men and women of our past have secured without propane, electricity, cars, gasoline, etc. They braved the elements, drought, famine and disease to establish the boundary of this great nation.

I am working on a reverse Oregon Trail Already. In this reverse Oregon Trail we will reverse the actions that were wrong in this westward quest. We are going to make amends with many of the Indian tribes we displaced, abused and killed for our own selfish gain, while keeping the foreign financial powers at bay.
