The Pledge of Allegiance to the flag was composed in 1892, and Americans have been reciting it ever since and need to continue doing so. It has been modified several times and was formally adopted by Congress in 1942. But it is not our flag that is under accelerating attack over the last few decades. It is the Constitution under threat of severe modification or even removal as our fundamental law. Therefore, we the people need to find a way to start defending and maintaining the Constitution we love and respect; and what better way to start than to institute a Pledge of Allegiance to the Constitution?
Just this week, Joe “tell me you really didn’t say that” Biden outdid all the previous onslaughts against the Constitution by ignorantly proclaiming at a college campus in Connecticut that “no ordinary American cares about their constitutional rights.” Prior to that treasonous remark, the sanctity of the Constitution has for decades been under assault by the liberal progressives, not only in Academia but in the legislatures, the courts, and in the executive branch. In the Obama administration, unconstitutional actions have been instituted repeatedly.
Patriots at the Surprise Arizona Tea Party have recently added to their Pledge of Allegiance as follows: “I pledge allegiance to the flag and to the Constitution of the United States of America and to the Republic for which they stand, one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” Another acceptable alternative would be to simply recite two separate pledges using the existing wording and say the first pledge to the flag and the second immediately following to the Constitution.
Fellow Americans, if you like this suggestion, GO FOR IT. It would be a great first step. And then we need to come up with additional practical steps to not only proudly waive our flag as we have always done but to carry, raise, waive, and preserve the Constitution of the United States of America.

Thank You Mr. Noe for saying what i have been Preaching for some time now. On another site after speaking my mind, I may have gotten Banned for even taking the time to review a site posted by another guest, who suggested I go to some Constitutional Militia site, which I did, and I signed up, and when I got to the main page where the guys were talking, NONE of them had a single thing to say about the Constitution. Yet they talked about how they need to Observe ALL the Laws.
Where do they get off. In the Constitution, Basically there are THREE Laws. Equity Law, Common Law, and Maritime Law to which we are currently under in this country.
Yet they all talked about games and non scense.
Please tell me, Am I Wrong for being Upset?
No you are not wrong, but I think the basic problem is, no one knows what to do in these perilus times. If we were step out and really protest, it would be turned as a riot, law enforcement would be called, people would either be dead or in jail. No one is actually coming up with solutions, or leading. People are waking up and are in shock, with no one to explain what is going on. Do not be upset over this, please if you have suggestions everyone would like to hear them.
An oath is a pledge. Elected officials and judges, and law enforcement, and our military…, I don’t know exactly who all the people who take an oath to defend the Constitution, but apparently an oath is worthless if the oath taker’s worldview is skewed by the delusional worldview of adherents to the religion of Liberalism.
I made my suggestions recently in this post:
http://www.westernjournalism.com/im-tired-of-playing-in-saul-alinskys-back-yard/
It outlines the very successful Luciferian “Rules for Radicals” and shows how to reverse the priorities of ruling that can put us back on a course for prosperity and peace. It got 1300+ likes, but we’re still preaching to the choir.
BTW, the Constitution without the moral, spiritual and philosophical basis in the Declaration is just “a living, breathing document” subject to the whims of “progressives”, despots, communists, etc. Every Middle Eastern country that we’ve spent blood and treasure to “democratize” (how idiotic!) has ended up with Sharia as their constitutional rule of law. What legal system do you think our corrupt Administration is pining for? No wonder Pope Benedict XVI virtually begged American Catholics to vote for Romney! They listened to true moral guidance like they always do…. not!
Love the amended Pledge. Trouble is only a precious few would take it to heart. Most Americans today might mouth the words while advocating for unconstitutional laws and policies. I’ve been taught that in Revolutionary times that the colonies were split roughly in thirds: a third that wanted a new free country, a third loyal to Britain and a third who basically just wanted to be left alone. If each third was equally powerful, commited and devoted to their beliefs the Revolutionary War would have been lost. I’m afraid that in order to succeed, the resistant to Obama and his anti-Amerca policies will have to find the mettle to organize and be willing to courageously defy the regime, perhaps we’re the third that corresponds to the noble founders of the country. I feel as if had we been conquered by a foreign power and they were to have installed their puppet dictator in the White House things would not be much different than they are today. Anybody with me?
ConservaDave, I believe you are right but what we need is a special someone who could be a leader for us and it would have to be someone who other people could come to believe what they said about truly changing our Nation back to what it was 50 years ago. And we all need to get closer to GOD than what we are today. I think he will give us a leader before all is lost but I feel time is getting short with all that we are losing day by day. We can not lose our gun rights for any reason. If we lose those rights, we truly have lost everything. Lets all pray for our paths to be laid out before us so we may walk the true and godly path.
Combining the word of Constitution with the Flag is all that we need without having two because they both are what our country was founded on.
The title of this article ‘Americans Need To Pledge Allegiance To The Constitution’ should be a requirement in our tax paying educational system that is said every morning before the AMERICAN Flag as well as having the TRUE History of our country taught from Kindergarten through 12th grade as this has been taken out of our schools as well as prayer. Also the Colleges and Universities that refuse to do this will not receive any tax monies or grants or anything else they receive from we, the taxpayers.
When I was in school every morning a student would be in the main office giving a prayer over the intercom system and then everyone in their classroom would follow him in the pledge of allegiance! I wish for those days for all children to know how to love God and country!
The CSA South Nation has always had their pledge to their Constitution, not an IDOL flag as the US has always done. Our Founders would have never allowed that US Communist pledge in the first place ! The US Pledge was written by a Communist (Bellamy) and is a Communist Pledge. It’s a vow/prayer (as God sees it – worship) to an IDOL flag, and not an “AMERICAN” flag as everyone has been forced to call it. There is nothing honorable about the US Federal occultic flag ! Designed (beginning with the 13 stripes) by the Masons and full of their occultic symbolism, that we are handed a ‘story’ about to not let that be known, the REAL AMERICA US flag was the one used before the 13 stripes were imposed, but he Revolutionary flag with the 3 bars, and stars up in the corner. The public is so easily accepting of whatever DC feed them and they never question any of it – to their own peril ! The public has been lied to for the past 160 years ! The US Federal flag is the true slave flag, not the CSA South flags that NEVER flew over anything to do with slavery. But they lied to you about that too so you’d blame the South for everything the North was guilty of . ALL of “American history’ has been fabrications that you have been TAUGHT TO BELIEVE ! I remember them forcing us to pledge to that US Federal flag way back when this idol flag thing all began and we had to Hitler hail to it while begin forced to recite their Communist pledge every morning in the Un-Constitutional govt run schools ! They didn’t begin the hand over heart until later, which signifies you giving our total being and allegiance to that flag and what it stood for ! It has ALWAYS stood for OWG Communism ! They just disguised it well in the beginning as back then it was mostly Christians here and they had to be tricked into being Communists without being aware of it. So they called this “Patriotism”. That too was a LIE ! And we are only to give our allegiance to GOD ! You give loyalty to your country (not an idol flag), but your allegiance only is given to GOD ! THE US Federal flag stands for illegal invasion, occupation, slavery, war, blood-shed, control, tyranny, and dictatorship. It has NEVER stood for freedom ! And “Democracy” is not freedom – it’s Communism lite. Out Founders knew that and forbade a Democracy to ever be here ! This is suppose to be a Free Republic, not a “Democracy” ! Democracy is mob rule, and not by law, as we have seen and lived for the past several decades ! The courts no longer go by written law but by ‘case law’ which is judge opinion law, and not real written law. In fact it usually goes against real written law ! And now they go by International law NOT anything “American” ! DC now controls most all courts on all levels as they have their own infitlrators as judges, THIS IS NOT ‘AMERICA’ ANYMORE !! WAKE UP ! WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO FOR THE PAST 160 YEARS ABOUT EVERYTHING ! Wake Up America !!
Sometimes folks with the meanest intentions put things together right. “… and to the Republic for which it stands…”
Matthew 12:29 and Mark 9:40: “How can anyone enter a strong man’s house and make off with his property unless he first ties him securely? Only then can he rob his house. He who is not with me is against me…” Francis Scott Key in 1814 had to know the meaning of this Scripture when he wrote the final verse of the Star-Spangled Banner:
“Oh thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace; may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a Nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our trust.
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!”
And remember, “The joy of the Lord is your strength!”
Active duty/retired military and public officials need to be reminded that they swore an oath to uphold & defend the constitution; not the federal government. This means that they should fight against any unconstittutional laws passed by the federal government or by the state government..
I’d like to thank Mr. Lichtner (and Max Liberty who posted on another Tea Party site) and the Arizona Tea Party for picking up on my idea of amending the Pledge with the Constitution as posted on our website (andtotheconstitution.org) in November 2011. I just found this page today and thought it appropriate to comment. One important thing you should know is that this idea of adding the Constitution to the Pledge receives almost NO opposition from American citizens of all political persuasions, from the far Left to the far Right, and, more importantly, the majority in the Center. Everyone seems to like it. From the beginning I envisioned this as a consummately Centrist and non-partisan initiative and apparently it is that: something nearly all Americans can agree on. Very rare these days.
I hope this doesn’t poison the idea for you, just as I hope your early and passionate advocacy of the idea doesn’t poison it for those who generally don’t share your political views.
