Below is a letter I sent out via registered "snail mail" on July 7,2009.

A letter to two “Governors”,

I start this letter (aka epistle) to each of you on July 4, 2009 - a day which the vast majority of America’s citizens allegedly celebrate this nation’s “birthday”. There are so many places I can begin this letter, therefore I chose these particular words as a starting place: “…with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence…” Fifty six individuals signed the document that contained those words.

Incidentally, just 56 men, out of the 1776 population of 2.5 million people (according to the U.S. Bureau of the Census) put their names on a document that publicly declared to “…mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our fortunes, and our scared Honor”. That was then, and this is now however. Therefore, what did the vast majority of American’s 535 “federal” representatives celebrate this July 4? (2009) Physical evidence abounds that it certainly wasn’t the “declaration” of those 56 men, or their constituency, let alone the Constitution for the United States of America.

That “peoples” declaration began with a “political” statement (paragraph). The next paragraph was a “religious” statement that began with these words; “We hold these Truths to be self-evident…” A favorite statement of so called “Christians” nowadays is this one: “The Bible says”. How many times has each of you heard, “Well the Bible says”? Here is an example of such “saying”; “Where there is no vision, the people perish…” [Prov.29:18(a)] That is what the bible says; what does the saying - those words - mean however?

Each of you probably has a goal, undoubtedly more than just one, just as I do. This writer is citizen of the United States of America, and one of the several States thereof, just as you both are. However, both of you are the executive in charge of your respective states. That is about to change however, whereas one of you, Sarah Palin, has resigned that position effective this coming July 26. The other, Mark Sanford is being “politically” pressured to resign that Governor position.

Regardless, each of you “Governors” is an individual, as is this writer. Collectively, the three of us would be referred to as “people”, or as the U.S. Constitution states, “We the People”. However, one decision each of you eventually must make is this one: “What, and/or who, will you represent (serve), today first - or - first today, and then tomorrow? [Cf. Math. 6:30-33] Consider what the inspired words from the LORD state: (a.k.a. the Bible says) “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” [Hosea 4:6] Has either of you ever pondered the words, “My people”?

In addition, “the U.S. Constitution says” (a.k.a. states) in part, “…to secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity…” There are two words in that specific statement and “vision” of the founding fathers that each of you (and me) has in common - liberty and posterity. Incidentally, the Bible says, “…proclaim liberty throughout all the land…” [Lev. 25:10] The apostle Paul realized - as did this nation’s founding fathers - that, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” [2nd Cor. 3:17], hence the “Colonial” phrase, “No king but King Jesus”; was that phrase a goal or a vision - perhaps a dream?

That Colonial phrase is also directly related to this phrase, “self-government”, a phrase and a “vision” that have been systematically removed - politically and religiously - since my birthday, May 30, 1941. That former federal holiday, once known as “Decoration Day” and today’s current holiday, July 4, 2009, “Independence Day”, bring me to the purpose of this letter, and my physical perception and Spiritual vision (b) of “…but he that keeps the law, happy is he”.

One double-edged perception of this writer, per the very recent political, personal “publicity” (aka “news” coverage) in the media, is as follows, The initial, practical, political and physical “reality” of “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” are becoming (especially for each of you) more than words on the pages of a book - oft times referred to as “The Bible”. However, is “the Truth” of political and physical reality becoming “self-evident’ to each of you individually - and collectively - as “Governors”?

It is very disturbing to me that each of you has been attacked politically and religiously at the personal and family (posterity) levels, disturbing - but not surprising. Such attacks are indicative of the continuing moral and ethical decline of what used to be a Lawful “constitutional republic”, as well as a “reliance” on this nation’s motto, “In God We Trust”. Those attacks are also evidence that “We hold these Truths to be self-evident…” are no longer understood, let alone accepted by the educated, modern day politicians, and their “machines”, i.e. political parties .

Another perception of mine is this; each of you Governors has much more in common with each other - as politicians and as individuals - then either of you might discern, and definitely more in common than what the American religious and political public will ever perceive or understand. One basic and common connection, which has many facets, between each of you starts with these eight words; “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”. One of those “facets” both of you are familiar with is the corporate and the politically controlled media.

America is in desperate need of leaders - physically and ‘Spiritually” - per what the Constitution and the Bible “says”, as well as what abundant, physical evidence reveals. Nevertheless, this individual perceives both of you could become two of the many leaders needed within America - contrary to what the so called alleged political and religious” experts” are “saying” about Mark Sanford and Sarah Palin.

Do not assume that “leadership” means just being a politician, or “running” for such another political type office in the future. Therefore, the purpose of this letter is to extend an invitation, to each of you, to be a guest and/or regular guests - to become “leaders” and teachers of a “remnant” - via the radio program entitled “The Bible Mechanic”.

Some of the more recent guests of “notoriety”, on the program, have been the “Ten Commandments judge” Roy Moore, and Bill Connor, a 2010 candidate for Lt. Governor of South Carolina. Other guests of notoriety have been Alan Keyes, Randall Terry (heard on “The Frank Report), Sid Roth, Ted Pike, and Russell Means.

Your own personal decision to accept or decline this invitation is an individual decision and choice each of you will make - one way or another. There is no middle ground, whereas starting on Wednesday evening, July 8, 2009 at 7:00 pm EDT, and for subsequent weeks thereafter, Mark Sanford and Sarah Palin will be the sub-topic of discussion on the aforementioned radio program, produced by, and heard on “The American Voice Radio Network”.

For the record, these programs will not be “attacks”, politically or religiously, on your personal credibility, or that of your respective families. The main topic (purpose) will be to expound (by two individuals of non-notoriety, those being myself and Noel Benoist) what is right and wrong with America, “politically and religiously”- from a Constitutional and Biblical perspective - using your recent coverage by the “elitist” media as the groundwork for such.

Here are some things “The Bible says”, that each of you, your advisors (political and religious), your families, and the public at large should ponder, specifically regarding the words found in John 4: 23-24, and this question: “What is truth”? “There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand”. [Prov. 19:21] “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man”. [Psa. 118:8]

Stated in another manner, using some words from George Washington, rather then the method of “the Bible says” is this reality: “Government is not reason, it is not eloquence - it is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master”. Thomas Jefferson stated the aforementioned principles in this manner: “In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution”.

It is obvious, at least to me and hopefully to both of you also, the time has arrived - politically and religiously - where institutional “government” once again needs to be fearful of its lawful and rightful “master” - “We the People” - this time “in the year of our Lord” 2009. As for the institutional “church”, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches”. [Rev. 2:7, 11, 17, and 29; also Rev. 3: 6, 13, and 22]

Bottom line: whose and what “voice” might you folks listen to and “hear” this day?

Sincerely,

Bill Clade [a.k.a. “The Bible Mechanic”]
