Letter to The Supreme Court

March 22, 2010

Justice John B. Roberts

Supreme Court Building

Washington, D. C.  20543

Dear Justice Roberts,

I am a 69 year old man with emphysema.  My wife of 46 years and I are very ordinary citizens.  You will never see our names in lights or in the history books.  We are just ordinary Americans who have tried our best to live according to the law, as have millions of others.  My wife is a retired school teacher who volunteers at the Senior Citizen Center.  I am a retired accountant and teach a class for inmates at the Wilson County Jail.  In short, we are two very ordinary Americans.

I am not a lawyer and I don’t really know how I am supposed to express myself to a Supreme Court justice, so I will just talk to you as I would any other person for whom I have great respect.  I am extremely fearful for the future of our nation.   As a young man I served in the military during the Viet Nam era.  If I had the physical ability I would be marching alongside those patriots today who are doing everything they can to stop our country from being turned into a socialist nation.  It has been my privilege to live during the best years of the greatest nation the world has ever known.  My wife and I will probably not live long enough to be severely affected by what is going on in Washington, D. C.   We will just continue doing what little we can to make life a little better for those around us.   We have raised our children, worshiped our God, and grown old together.   I would not be taking up your time with this letter except we have a 6 year old granddaughter.  I am writing this letter in her behalf.  She, and millions like her, who will have to spend their lives living in the nation we leave them.

I know that you are certainly aware of what is being done to our nation by the present administration and congress, and in your heart of hearts you know it is not right.  It’s not about Health Care, it’s about power, the destruction of our freedoms, and turning this republic into a socialist state.  Just before being elected Obama said, “In five days we will fundamentally change America.” Since his election, we have seen exactly what he meant.  Congressmen are being bought by every means imaginable.  Our Constitution is being shredded.    Health care is only the beginning.    Behind Health Care are Cap and Trade, Card Check, Immigration Reform, etc, etc.  They will pass each of these, by unconstitutional means if necessary.  Dozens of Socialist, and even Communist, Czars have been appointed to oversee every aspect of American life.  This administration and its congressional minions will not be satisfied until the government has total control over the lives of every American.  This is not what America is about!   Our Founding Fathers had a term for this state of affairs – Tyranny!

We now have only you to turn to as being our last and best hope for the preservation of America.  The life of the nation we love is now in your hands, and I would like to quote from one of your own:

“The saddest epitaph which can be carved in memory of a vanished liberty, it that it was lost because its possessors failed to stretch forth a saving hand while there was yet time.”

Supreme Court Justice George Sutherland – 1937

I don’t know how to put things in legal terms, but I do know the difference between right and wrong.  What is being done to our nation is wrong.  I didn’t serve in the military for the purpose of defending a socialist state.  I proudly fought for the United States of America, “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Two hundred and thirty-four years ago, when King George III tried to subjugate our Founding Fathers, they chose to place “their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor” on the line in defense of liberty.  In doing so they founded a nation of laws, with a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.” You know this is now being taken from us.  If you will but open your window, the voices you will hear are those of the sons and daughters of America pleading for our nation.  Letters, e-mails, faxes, and phone calls to our representatives are being ignored.  We are supposed to have a three-fold government with built in checks and balances.  Obama, with the support of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, now controls two parts of our government and he has fired a warning shot over the bow of the third, the Supreme Court.  Never before in our history has a State of the Union Address been used to chastise the Supreme Court before millions of viewers.

We are now governed by a megalomaniac who accepts no limits to his power, Constitutional or otherwise.  The White House, once the home of our greatest leaders, is now occupied by a man of Muslim descent, schooled in the philosophy of Karl Marx, and honed for twenty years by the radical ranting of a Black Liberation Theologian.  If he is not stopped our nation will be destroyed and our blood bought freedoms along with it.   As one of nine judges, you and the other eight now hold the fate of America in your hands.  Only you stand between Obama and his vow to change America into a socialist state.  Only you are beyond his control and each of you swore a solemn oath to:

“Administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and … to faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon me under the Constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.”

We are involved in nothing less than a fight for the survival of our nation and our freedom.  “We the People” are doing everything we can legally do.  Yes, we have the power of the ballot box but, just as with health care, we fear he will illegally force his agenda through congress before we have the opportunity to cast our votes.  It is my prayer that you will refuse to allow this man to destroy the land we love.  Right now we have only our voices with which to defend it; you have the power of the Constitution.   Fifty-six men risked their all to give us this land of freedom.   All we are asking, is that you stand up and preserve it?

While I am limited physically from doing many things, I can write, and have written a pamphlet entitled “Once Upon a Time There was A Land Called America.”  I know this letter will be opened by a clerk before being passed to the addressed judge.   I plead with you to please pass this letter, along with the enclosed pamphlet, to the judge you represent.

Respectfully,

Wayne D. Leeper
