Response to the events of 9/11
One of the purposes of the Constitution of the United States is to provide for the common defense of our nation, we welcome the renewed public interest and focus upon protecting the borders of our country and the security of our nation here at home.
We pledge our full support to bring to justice the terrorists responsible for the murder of thousands of our fellow Americans. We also pray for comfort and strength for the surviving families in the face of their incalculable suffering and grief.
But that is not all that is required of us in this dark and difficult hour. Just as in times past in our nation’s history, these are times that try men’s souls. And if we are to respond to them properly, we must also be willing to humbly reflect upon our own ways both as individuals and as a nation.
We must rise and demand justice to protect all Americans. For justice to prevail in our nation the shedding of all innocent blood upon our soil must cease and all innocent human life must be protected. But the killing of innocent people has not stopped since September 11. About 4,000 American children are put to death every day in this nation by abortion – over 40 million since 1973.
The Constitution Party strongly entreats our representatives in federal, state and local governments to immediately take all appropriate steps to prevent any further loss of innocent human life, while fulfilling their duty to protect and preserve our God-given rights and our cherished freedoms.
The Constitution Party encourages all Americans to once again consider the solemn admonition of Scripture that so many of our nation’s founders turned to in times of distress:
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
II Chronicles 7:14 – Holy Bible
We urge our fellow Americans to join with us in repentance before the Lord our Redeemer for the evil and wickedness that we have allowed to become commonplace in our beloved nation and to seek His mercy to heal our land.
Resolution passed by the Constitution Party National Committee, October 6, 2001 in Minneapolis, Minnesota
