Welcome to We The People of New York, Inc.  

​
Mission Statement

​​

We The People of New York, Inc. is branch of the We The People Congress, Inc.

​

We The People of New York, Inc. is a non-profit, membership-based assembly of patriotic Americans dedicated to “institutionalizing” citizen vigilance and governmental accountability in the State of New York.

​

The Mission of the We The People of New York is fourfold:

1) to institutionalize the local distribution of educational material that the People are not receiving from any other source – the history, meaning, effect and significance of every provision of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America and the New York State Constitution; and
2) to institutionalize the independent review by the People of the actions of their local and state officials – viz a viz the provisions of their State and Federal Constitutions and laws pursuant thereto; and

3) to institutionalize, pursuant to the Petition Clauses of their State and federal Constitutions, petitioning for redress of grievances, particularly violations by government officials of the will of the People as expressed in their State and Federal Constitutions, and

4) to institutionalize the People’s Right of enforcement of their Rights in the absence of a meaningful response by government to their proper First Amendment Petition for Redress of a Grievance.

​

We The People of New York, Inc. has been established for the purpose of developing in the public forum, politics aside, a constituency committed to a statewide, pro-active, non-violent, mass-movement, with the goal of achieving ordered Liberty through citizen vigilance and government accountability. As an organized force of “constitution defenders,” We The People of New York will have a “Citizen Vigilance Center”, fully manned with legal talent and the skill sets necessary to manage the state-wide organization.

​

We recognize that popular sovereignty as a social and political force is a fundamental cornerstone of our constitutional Republic. We The People of New York is committed to achieving its goals of restoring Freedom and Constitutional Order through the exercise of popular sovereignty by all possible non-violent means including reliance on the rights secured to the People not only by the Petition Clause of Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution for the State of New York, but also by the Petition Clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.

America stands at a crossroad. In our lifetime, we may witness either the demise or resurrection of our Constitutional Republic with its promise of individual Liberty. We seek a shift in the ultimate power in our society from the Government back to the People where it was meant to reside in the first place. We The People of New York is committed to serving the 4th branch of government in the State, THE PEOPLE, by institutionalizing citizen vigilance over policy adopted by the other three branches wherever that policy is being adopted. If and when government at any level is seen to have stepped outside the boundaries the People have drawn around its power by the terms of our State and Federal Constitutions, We The People of New York will be there to effectively repel the forces of tyranny by petitioning the government for redress and enforcing their rights in the absence of a meaningful response.

​

General Objectives

​

To develop a network of informed and responsible citizens across New York State, capable of holding public officials at all levels accountable to our State and Federal Constitutions, with full reliance on the rights of the people and obligations of the government that are secured by the Petition Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution and the Petition Clause contained in Article I, Section 9 of the New York State Constitution.
 

2025 Objectives

​

We The People of New York was incorporated in 2011. It has had a Board of Directors consisting of a President, a Treasurer and a corporate Secretary – each a resident of the State, and additional Directors each serving on the Board of Directors of the We the People Congress, Inc.

​

We The People of New York has a web site and a bank account.

​

We The People of New York has adopted a budget, to be implemented when 2.5 percent of the State’s population over the age of 18 become supporting members, each contributing $25 per year on a recurring basis.

​

We The People of New York has selected and now owns a 5 acre site for New York State’s Citizen Vigilance Center to be constructed and fully manned by legal talent and additional staff with the skill sets necessary to manage the state-wide organization when the budget is met.

​

We The People of New York is currently seeking an “army” of supporting members across the State of New York and intends to designate a State Coordinator, Regional Coordinators and County Coordinators and begin choosing and educating the State’s Constitution Monitors, all to be hired when the budget is met.
