About the Book

On April 15, 2004 the existing federal government of the United States is officially dissolved and replaced by the original federal government of the United States of 1791. All the laws, regulations, treaties, executive orders and federal court decisions become void. All federal agencies cease to exist. All federal bureaucrats and employees are terminated. All federal elective offices from president down to the last senator and representative are vacated. All federal judges from the Supreme Court on down are discharged. I, Tomm, take charge of the new federal government until elections in November 2004, in which I, Tomm, am duly elected first president of the Second Republic of America - America II.
America II: The Second Republic 2004-2204, is a historic and historical novel about the future of America. The Second Republic of America (SRA) is launched on the steps of the U.S. Capital April 15, 2004, Reset Day, at noon, by Tomm. If you want to see it happen, plan to be there. It will be televised internationally for others. After that, the rest is history.
All the details of the events leading up to Reset Day are in the first five chapters. Chapter Six is a portrayal of the takeover ceremony, the announcements about the future government, moving the capital to central Kansas, and the grand departure party that night in Washington D.C. Each subsequent chapter presents a matter for the new government to confront, such as drugs, immigration, education, energy, terrorism, the military, nuclear weapons, world peace and tells in a remarkable and fascinating narrative how Tomm leads the American people to ever-greater freedom and happiness. The book is fictional only because the events it describes haven't happened - yet.
The author will be demonized and harassed and hunted down and perhaps assassinated by liberals, Democrats, and other socialists and their clients. Everything they have built in the last 70 years is destroyed. America will never be the same after April 15, 2004 - it will be infinitely better.
This is the first and only novel where the reader makes the plot come true. Read and be there.

About the Author

Thomas R. (Tomm) Henley will be widely acclaimed as the Savior of America, right up there with Tom Paine and Tom Jefferson. Michael Savage (The Savage Nation, WND Books, 2002) refers to "a man or woman who will stand up right now, and defend our borders, our language, and our culture, could save America. Your act of leadership and courage would take the reins away from a weak presidency." Tomm stands up courageously and takes the reins April 15, 2004. He was destined from five generations ago when his great-great-great grandfather Col. David Henley stood with George Washington at the Battles of Saratoga and Freeman's Farm and Bemis Heights and defeated the greatest army and general of the war, General John (Gentleman Johnny) Burgoyne and 12,000 of England's finest. It was the decisive battle of the Revolution. Col. Henley burned his Bunker Hill mansion to keep the British from using it. Henley was put in command of the captured troops and had altercations with them. Burgoyne charged him with attempted murder and there was a fabulous court-martial - but that is a story for my next book.
After the war, Col. Henley, a widower from prominent Boston families and educated in Boston Latin School and Harvard, was sent by Washington to several important engagements as his personal envoy - Northwest Territory Land Claims Comission, U.S. Naval Board, Virginia Constitutional Convention, and finally to Knoxville, capital of the Southwest Territory, to organize the State of Tennessee. There he settled and became a wealthy landowner. Tomm's life has been charmed ever since by the finest people and experiences and knowledge and learning. He was present at historically significant events, met great people, and lived an interesting and significant life. He was a man with a mission, though he didn't know what it was until 1978.
Tomm was born into a remarkable family in Harriman, Tennessee, the youngest of five boys. He was a genius and excelled in many fields - music, literature, science (chemistry, physics, zoology, botany, microbiology, astronomy, atomic and nuclear physics, mathematics, environmental science, biochemistry, molecular biology), law, law enforcement, forensic science, medicine, business administration, teaching, writing, politics, history, government, sociology, information science, publishing, and computer technology. His education in the finest high school in America (the last of the great public schools) was overlapped by his college education and this was followed by degrees and post graduate studies and a life of self-education which continues today. He consistently outran his teachers and quickly advanced to the next level. He is a world-champion speller and quiz show contestant. It was all in preparation for his role as Savior of America, President of the Second American Republic, and Emperor of the World.
Tomm is handsome, well-built, distinguished in learning, dignified in bearing, socially aristocratic, but not wealthy, married 48 years to the same woman whom he named Mili, has three children and eight grandchildren, all good-looking and above average.

CHAPTER SIX - The Takeover
April 15, 2004. Noon. Tomm is standing on the steps of the United States Capitol Building surrounded by more than two million happy, yelling people with signs and flags as far as the eye can see. The signs say things like "Congress Go Home!" "Let's Start America Over" "Lobbyists get a life" " Income tax is abolished" "Freedom first!" "Restore the Republic" "Tomm for President" "Go Tomm Go!" Some of the flags have a big blue Roman numeral "II" across the red and white stripes. Television and news people are lined up with cameras and microphones pointed at Tomm. It is a bright, clear day with a little chill in the air. Cherry blossoms in full bloom.
Above Tomm and behind him are hundreds of senators and congress persons and staff members peeking out of the dark windows above, and out of the shadows surrounding the dark columns below. They want to know what is happening without being a part of it. They look as if they know that their days are numbered. The symbolism is immense. Tomm and the delegates stand with the happy, shouting, new America in front, and the old, silent, sad America behind.
C-SPAN is here with three cameras. One for Tomm, one for the crowd, and one for the people up in the shadows behind Tomm. The major networks have a pool camera and several dozen reporters. Fox News is carrying the proceedings live. Many news organizations from around the world are covering the historic moment, the event of the century, and the century is only four years old.
Tomm raises his right hand and silence sweeps over the huge crowd. Most everyone has been handed an agenda sheet and everyone knows that a prayer is being called for, even though they do not hear Tomm's voice. A man in clerical clothing steps up next to Tomm and offers a prayer:
"Almighty God, God of our Fathers, God of us all, we beseech thee in this hour of redemption and recommitment and renewal to forgive us for what we have done wrong and what we have failed to do since you gave us this Constitution and Bill of Rights and this republic 215 years ago. You gave us freedom and a clean slate to write our laws upon and you gave us your blessing and guidance and you gave us victory over our oppressors and you gave us leaders with knowledge and wisdom and courage. And we betrayed them, and we betrayed our founding principles and we betrayed you, and we wandered off into the byways and highways of liberalism and socialism, and we traded our birthright of freedom and independence for the slavery of income tax and government regulation, and we worshipped at the altars of the false gods of welfare programs, government-run education, government medical care, civil rights, human rights, and social security."
"Today we seek your leadership. Send us a new Moses to lead us out of bondage and into the promised land. And send us wisdom for our leaders and for ourselves as we start this government over again, renew our commitment to principle and to truth and to you, and return to that Constitution and Bill of Rights and the republic you gave us. Amen." A wave of ëamens' booms out across the crowd.
Tomm then put his right hand over his heart and turned and led the pledge to the America II flag waving over the Capitol Building behind him.
"Will the state delegates now come on up here with me. Give them room. They're the ones with the badges and the big grins. They were elected several years ago by going out and personally signing up thousands and millions of people on the second Declaration of Independence. Come on up... Come on up."
"Now that they are all here, let's call the roll of the states. Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas..."
With each state called, a shout goes up and the delegate holds up a hand.
"They're all here."
"Raise your right hand, and with your Bible in your left hand, swear with me."
"I am the duly qualified and elected delegate for the state of _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to this Second Constitutional Convention of the United States held in Washington D.C. on April 15, in the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Four. I will uphold, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States of America. By the authority granted to me by the people of my state, and according to the principles stated in the Declaration of Independence, and as determined by the results of the plebiscite conducted this week, I hereby withdraw the power granted to the United States government by the people of my state, and thus dissolve the existing government of the United States, and at this same instant grant the power of the people of my state to the new government of the United States, as constituted in the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights."
"Do you and each of you hereby vote, for the people of your state, to dissolve the old government of the United States of America and ratify the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, thus starting America all over again without the existing laws, supreme court decisions, regulations, executive orders, treaties and other laws?"
"Signify your vote by raising your right hand." All hands are raised.
"The government and laws of the United States of America are hereby revoked and the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights are hereby ratified. A table for signing the ratification document is right over there to my right. Please line up in state alphabetical order and sign it as your turn comes up." This takes 30-40 minutes for all fifty delegates. "The original constitutional ratification took several weeks and one or two states took several years."
"The deed is done. The United States of America I is history. God bless the United States of America II. The world begins again." The crowd is delirious. The chant changes from "Go, Tomm, Go!" to "Tomm Rules! Tomm Rules! Tomm Rules!" The applause and shouts last for twenty minutes, thirty minutes, until stopped by Tomm. The waving of the flags with the Roman "II" goes on and on.
The cameras zoom in on Tomm.
"The program calls for me to make a big speech right here, I have been planning this and dreaming about this since 1978. And now that I'm here, I'm a little overwhelmed."
Tomm pauses and looks up at the sky. "Hello, Charlie, and Cecil and Jim. I made it! Thanks for watching over me." Tomm salutes the sky and then tears up and chokes up.
"Those are my brothers who died in World War Two for me and you and this country and this freedom and this day."
"I don't want to make a speech here today - you all know in your hearts what a glorious, wonderful, fabulous day this is! I just want to tell you a little more about what we've done here and where we're going after today. I know you have lots of questions and there are lots of uncertainties, and I want to deal with as many of those as I can today. Believe me, we as a nation have faced much greater challenges in the past and we worked through them and came out stronger and wiser and better - wars, depressions, and recessions, epidemics, Democrat presidents, other national disasters. So we will survive this complete turn around, this complete reversal, this complete cleansing of our government, and in a few years we will emerge stronger, wiser, freer, healthier, wealthier, busier, smarter, better educated, better in every way." Cheers.
"Yesterday we were a nation of nearly 300 million people giving up a third of our income and labor to the government, sinking deeper and deeper into the recession now in its third year, power blackouts shutting down our industries, stores, homes and churches, automobiles parked in garages and in driveways and on the streets and highways with no fuel to run them, our massive public transportation systems and airlines running part-time on a demand basis, food distribution centers operating in abandoned stores, military forces patrolling the big cities to keep order. You have seen it yourself. The only people who seem to be making it are government employees here in Washington and in the larger cities, who are supposed to be helping us but they are helping themselves instead."
"Today, we are a new nation, with the greatest constitution and bill of rights known to man, tried and tested and proven, with hope in our hearts, strength in our arms, faith in our abilities, and God on our side. As Tom Paine said more than 225 years ago, "We have it in our power to start the world over." We did it then, and we can do it again." Cheers and applause.
FROM CHAPTER THREE - The IRS Raid at Peakland Park
IRS Tax Compliance Operations at Peakland, Tennessee, Saturday, January 24, 2004.
Day was breaking over the Peakland Mobile Home Park. The sun was still hidden behind the tree-covered ridge that defined the tiny community. The sky where the sun would soon appear was streaked with orange-lined dark clouds. The sunlight passing under the clouds just touched the tops of the twin cooling towers of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant rising above the dusty trees lining the dirt road from the mobile home park to the county road which ran from Dayton to the construction site. It was Saturday, so there was no line of pickup trucks and old cars taking workers to the site. After the Park dwellers had gotten their sleep out, about nine or ten o'clock, there would be busy traffic to the towns of Dayton or Harriman or farther north to Knoxville - the big city - for groceries, school clothes, hardware, building supplies, bank deposits, bill payments.
But no one from Peakland Park would be going to town today. During the night five unmarked, black Broncos and a large unmarked black van had eased quietly along the county road to the dirt road where the 'Peakland Mobile Home Park' sign hung between two cedar-tree posts at the intersection. The van was parked up the dirt road about 100 feet before you get to the first mobile home, next to the row of thirty or so mail boxes. Two of the Broncos with one man in each, AR-15s ready, blocked the dirt road where it entered the county road, and two Broncos were set, one at each end of the main 'street' between the two rows of mobile homes, and the fifth Bronco was exactly in the center of the Park. Twenty-six combat-armed and ready men, black military dress, helmets and boots, 'IRS' lettered in white on their backs, had emerged silently from their vehicles and taken places around the perimeter of the Park just at daybreak. The black van had satellite dishes of several sizes, loudspeakers, electronic equipment to monitor any transmission to or from the Park, monitors for the robotic video surveillance cameras mounted on the Broncos sweeping the mobile homes on both sides, multiple communications links with IRS and FBI offices in Knoxville, Atlanta, Martinsburg West Virginia Regional Center, headquarters in Washington, D.C. Inside there was a "war room" with a large table and aerial maps of the Park and surroundings, tactical diagrams, and satellite photographs of every square inch of the Park coordinated with the maps and diagrams.
The rest of the space in the van was occupied by desks arranged so that people could be herded in at one end, fingerprinted, photographed, interrogated briefly on videotape, relieved of any cash or pay checks they may have on them, papers served on them, and shown out the back where they had to jump over or climb through a ditch to get back to the road. The IRS had everything on the van to prosecute people except an attorney general and a judge. Their victims would have to go to Knoxville for that.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms had supplied data on known guns possessed by Park dwellers. A plan to disarm them was the first order.
The 18 Peakland units which had registered guns were attacked simultaneously by breaking in the doors and holding the people at gunpoint until the registered guns were handed over or found. There was a list for each unit. Each of the 18 units was also searched for unregistered guns. Then the other units were all entered and searched for guns. The searchers turned over mattresses, some with people still on them, looked under pillows and bedding, opened doors and cabinets, reached into every crevice and opening in floors, walls, and ceiling. They swept closet and cabinet contents out onto the floor and went through every container, even those too small to hold a gun. In every instance where an unregistered gun was found, the head of the household was arrested, wrists bound with plastic ties, and put out in front of his unit in pajamas or underwear, to wait for processing at the van. The confiscated guns were unloaded, placed in plastic bags with ID tags and processed along with their owners.
During all of this you could hear kids crying, people yelling, things crashing and breaking, doors slamming, black-suited officers barking their commands, and the loudspeaker on the van intoning, "This is not a police raid. You are in no danger. This is the IRS conducting a tax compliance operation," over and over.
John Ballenger was asleep with his family in Unit Three when the small battering ram and three black-clad officers crashed into his living room. They went directly to the places where his guns were. They knew exactly where to look. They found four unregistered guns in John's home, two pistols and two rifles. They searched the rest of his home, taking extra care to disturb and upset every little thing. Finally, John was led out onto his deck, wrists bound with a plastic tie, and questioned by two of the officers.
"Sir, give us your name and social security number." One looked down at a list on a black clipboard.
John replied, "I am a free citizen. I am not subject to your jurisdiction. You cannot arrest me or give me any orders. I have no social security card and no number. I have renounced my connection with the United States government. I am not registered anywhere with any government, no passport, no checking account, no vehicle registration, no connection whatever to any government. Get off my property, please."
"Are you John Ballenger? That's what my list says. Your name is not on a mailbox over there, so we need to confirm it."
"I don't have a mail box anywhere. I am not served by the USPS. I do not have to answer your questions. You have no jurisdiction and you are trespassing on my property."
"Well, you have a deed or a title to this trailer don't you? You have to have some connection with the local government."
"No, I don't have a deed. I have a common-law lease which gives me full right to exclude anyone from my property if I don't want them here. I don't want you here, please leave." John's voice was even and non-threatening.
On the shoulder radio unit, "We're at Number Three and we have encountered some resistance. The man says he doesn't have to answer our questions, and won't tell us who he is. Says he is a citizen of some other world and is not connected with any government and we are out of our jurisdiction. What do..."
John interrupted to correct him, "I am not a citizen of the United States government as it is presently organized. It is unconstitutional and has been for more than seventy years. I am not a citizen of another world. I do not have to answer your questions because you have no jurisdiction over me and my family. Please get off my property, now. I've told you three times, peacefully and politely." John was self-educated in constitutional law. He had defended himself in several cases involving his personal rights. More than one federal judge had complimented him on his law learning before ruling against him. His positions and arguments were logically and legally unassailable. Judges would usually find some technicality or remote issue, though, and give him a scolding or some minor penalty. Twice he had been locked up for contempt and then released because they didn't want to give him an issue with the media.
There was no tone of exasperation or anger or threat or any emotion in John's voice. Just an unwavering, firm, studied, even rehearsed response. He stood his ground physically and stated his case with great dignity and confidence. By now some of his neighbors were out on their decks watching and listening to the unfolding drama. John was a pretty big guy and years of work on construction sites had tanned and toughened him and taught him how to handle himself. He never had to fight anyone. He was the kind of person who could convince you quickly that it would be pointless to try to use force on him. If confronted with an angry person, he would speak softly in works of respect and conciliation and walk away. He was not Steven Seagull or Texas Ranger Walkem. He was a man unlike any you have ever seen or heard about.
