Open Letter from Retired Generals and Admirals
Our Nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight forour survival as a Constitutional Republic likeno other time since our founding in 1776. The conflictis between supporters of Socialism andMarxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom andliberty.During the 2020 election an “Open Letter from SeniorMilitary Leaders” was signed by 317retired Generals and Admirals and, it said the 2020election could be the most importantelection since our country was founded. “With theDemocrat Party welcoming Socialists andMarxists, our historic way of life is at stake.” Unfortunately,that statement’s truth was quicklyrevealed, beginning with the election process itself.Without fair and honest elections that accuratelyreflect the “will of the people” our Constitutional Republic is lost. Election integritydemands insuring there is one legal vote castand counted per citizen. Legal votes are identifiedby State Legislature’s approved controlsusing government IDs, verified signatures, etc. Today,many are calling such commonsensecontrols “racist” in an attempt to avoid having fairand honest elections. Using racial terms tosuppress proof of eligibility is itself a tyrannicalintimidation tactic. Additionally, the “Rule of Law” must be enforced in our election processes toensure integrity. The FBI and SupremeCourt must act swiftly when election irregularitiesare surfaced and not ignore them as wasdone in 2020. Finally, H.R.1 & S.1, (if passed), woulddestroy election fairness and allowDemocrats to forever remain in power violating ourConstitution and ending our RepresentativeRepublic. Aside from the election, the Current Administrationhas launched a full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassingthe Congress, with more than 50Executive Orders quickly signed, many reversing theprevious Administration’s effectivepolicies and regulations. Moreover, population controlactions such as excessive lockdowns,school and business closures, and most alarming, censorshipof written and verbal expressionare all direct assaults on our fundamental Rights.We must support and hold accountablepoliticians who willactto counter Socialism, Marxismand Progressivism, support our Constitutional Republic, and insist on fiscally responsiblegoverning while focusing onall Americans, especially the middle class, not specialinterest or extremist groups which are usedto divide us into warring factions.
Additional National Security Issues and Actions:
• Open borders jeopardize national security by increasinghuman trafficking, drug cartels,terrorists entry, health/CV19 dangers, and humanitariancrises. Illegals are flooding our Country bringing high economic costs, crime, loweringwages, and illegal voting in somestates. We must reestablish border controls and continuebuilding the wall while supportingour dedicated border control personnel. Sovereignnations must have controlled borders.• China is the greatest external threat to America.Establishing cooperative relations with theChinese Communist Party emboldens them to continueprogress toward world domination,
militarily, economically, politically and technologically. We must impose more sanctions andrestrictions to impede their world domination goaland protect America’s interests.• The free flow of information is critical to thesecurity of our Republic, as illustrated by freedomof speech and the press being in the 1st Amendmentof our Constitution. Censoring speechand expression, distorting speech, spreading disinformationby government officials, privateentities, and the media is a method to suppress thefree flow of information, a tyrannicaltechnique used in closed societies. We must counterthis on all fronts beginning with removingSection 230 protection from big tech.• Re-engaging in the flawed Iran Nuclear Deal wouldresult in Iran acquiring nuclear weaponsalong with the means to deliver them, thereby upsettingMideast peace initiatives and aiding aterrorist nation whose slogans and goals include “deathto America” and “death to Israel” . Wemust resist the new China/Iran agreement and not supportthe Iran Nuclear Deal. In addition,continue with the Mideast peace initiatives, the “AbrahamAccords,” and support for Israel.• Stopping the Keystone Pipeline eliminates our recentlyestablished energy independence andcauses us to be energy dependent on nations not friendlyto us, while eliminating valuable US jobs. We must open the Keystone Pipeline and regainour energy independence for nationalsecurity and economic reasons.• Using the U.S. military as political pawns withthousands of troops deployed around the U.S.Capitol Building, patrolling fences guarding againsta non-existent threat, along with forcingPolitically Correct policies like the divisive criticalrace theory into the military at the expenseof the War Fighting Mission, seriously degrades readinessto fight and win our Nation’s wars,creating a major national security issue. We mustsupport our Military and Vets; focus onwar fighting, eliminate the corrosive infusion ofPolitical Correctness into our military whichdamages morale and war fighting cohesion.• The “Rule of Law” is fundamental to our Republicand security. Anarchy as seen incertain cities cannot be tolerated. We must supportour law enforcement personnel andinsist that DAs, our courts, and the DOJ enforce thelaw equally, fairly, and consistentlytoward all.• The mental and physical condition of the Commanderin Chief cannot be ignored. He must beable to quickly make accurate national security decisionsinvolving life and limb anywhere,day or night. Recent Democrat leadership’s inquiriesabout nuclear code procedures sends adangerous national security signal to nuclear armedadversaries, raising the question aboutwho is in charge. We must always have an unquestionablechain of command.Under a Democrat Congress and the Current Administration,our Country has taken a hardleft turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannicalgovernment which must becountered now by electing congressional and presidentialcandidates who will alwaysacttodefend our Constitutional Republic. The survival ofour Nation and its cherished freedoms,liberty, and historic values are at stake.
We urge all citizens to get involved now at the local, state and/or national level to elect politicalrepresentatives who willactto Save America, ourConstitutional Republic, and hold thosecurrently in office accountable. The “will of thepeople” must be heard and followed.Signed by:1.RADM Ernest B. Acklin, USCG, ret.2.MG Joseph T.
