Happy Birthday USA? July 2, 1776: "I just can't see any answer but July 2 which was the day the Continental Congress voted for Independence. Thank you for your very interesting book, which will help me teach American Revolution Class." -- William Pencak, Penn State Professor of History July 4, 1776: "You asked my view about 'when is the birthday of the United States of America.' While this is a matter about which reasonable people can disagree, I believe the best bet is the traditional answer, July 4, 1776, for two reasons. First, that is when the Declaration of Independence was initially approved, providing unambiguous indication of our intent to leave Great Britain and become a separate nation. Second, this is the date that has long been recognized as our national birthday; after many years, this sort of traditional recognition has a persuasive force of its own. By way of legal analogy, think of adverse possession or laches. Thanks for sending me a copy of Happy Birthdays USA. You pulled together a lot of very engaging information about how our country came to be, and it is certainly important to keep memory alive about the founding. The process of birth was more complicated than most people imagine. " -- W. Taylor Reveley, III - President, The College of William and Mary in Virginia. " Stan, I'm afraid I voted for July 4 in the poll. Just a traditionalist, I guess. The other dates are worth remembering but they're not THE birthday. I liked your new book. It's an interesting read about things most people don't think about." -- Thomas Fleming, Best Selling Author.
September 17, 1787: "Stan, I have already voted but sort of hoped we would be given a second and third choice. Naturally I went for September 17th but my heart also belongs to April 30th. Can I pretend I am from Chicago and stuff the ballot box? Is there a runner-up prize? Your book is great. It is now my one and only source for anything from that period of time. Have actually gone back and started it over again for I wanted to underline and tag pages for future reference. Great detail and I could not be more impress that you have been able to find, document, and express all this information so well. Really, really well done." -- Thomas Connelly, Philanthropist, The Historic US Flag Exhibitor and Entrepreneur September 3, 1783: "My vote, to answer your question, is September 3, 1783 when the Treaty of Paris is signed by the Peace Commissioners." -- Kim Sajet, President & CEO, Historical Society of Pennsylvania June 12, 1776: "Here in Virginia we recognize June 12, 1776, as one of the birthdays as well. That was the day the House of Burgesses passed the Virginia Declaration of Rights which was the precursor to the Bill of Rights -- a great and courageous document. Thank you for the copy of Happy Birthdays USA, I am delighted to have it." -- Colin G. Campbell, President Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. |

What Others Are Saying About This Author Washington? Get in Line: “Indeed, the document officially names this new collective "The United States of America." And when the Articles failed, the writers of the Constitution used them as a starting point when they expressed their desire "to form a more perfect union." Eighty years later, Abraham Lincoln specifically cited the "perpetual union" created by the Articles as justification for forcibly keeping the South from seceding. "The Articles of Confederation not only formed our nation," says Stanley Klos, author of President Who? Forgotten Founders, "it was used to preserve it … “The Presidents were the ones who held it together," says Klos, "even though our first government was a miserable failure." - Cover Story, US News and World Report Chopping Down History: “One of the declared objectives of our Constitution states, 'in order to form a more perfect union,' Mr. Klos said. ''What does that say? We already had a union. We're not talking about a lie here,'' he continued. ''George Washington was first president under the Constitution of 1787. We're talking about a half-truth.'' -- The New York Times “Quick – who was the first U.S. President? Wrong! At least, so this site tells us – documenting, as it does, no fewer than 10 possible holders of the office between 1774 and 1778. These ten men were the leaders of the Confederation Congress and Continental Congress, which (as you know if you read clear through that John Adams biography like you said you did) preceded Mr. Washington’s inauguration in 1789.

Klos’ Exhibit and Lecture: “What we like to say to people when they come here is: 'George Washington was the first president of the United States, right?' ‘Wrong.’ That's from David Halaas, museum division director for the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center.” -- Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “… a thought provoking argument for “righting” our history books about the very early years of our democracy. Samuel Huntington, His Excellency the President of the United States in Congress Assembled, indeed!” -- Lee Langston-Harrison, Curator James Madison’s Montpelier "I am fortunate to have had such a high-minded opponent in this last race. Some of the tactics that you resisted are truly deplorable and represent just the sort of campaigning which so often serves to cause the American people to dislike politics and distrust politicians.

Diogenes with a lighted lamp in broad daylight, worked the street of Athens "looking for a man" I have found one: Stan Klos.” --- Robert C. Byrd, United States Senator
“Thank you so much for taking the time to bring your exhibit to Patrick Henry College. People were thrilled with your presentation on Friday Night that helped make the evening the success that it was. Please let me know if we can ever help you in any way.” - - Mike Farris, President of Patrick Henry College “The power of the documents is absolute. They are what they are and the real thing. Mr. Klos' program and documents are as good as anything in any museum in the country. Better than in many, in fact. They are extraordinary American History Documents.” --- Ellsworth Brown, President Carnegie Institute and Museums “This is a brilliant and most enjoyable book which helps us to rediscover our rich history and heritage. Stan Klos clearly establishes that Virginia -- not Delaware -- became the first State in the Perpetual Union of the United States America ... because it was the first to ratify the Articles of Confederation (1779).

13 Historic Ways to Restore U.S. Prosperity
1. Move investment real estate out of the Passive Income category into the Portfolio Tax Category to offset gains and losses with Wall Street Equities while limiting home mortgage tax deductions to 70% of the purchase price of all primary & secondary residences from homeowners’ ordinary income. Result: This will restore a strong and balance real estate market saving homeowners, states, counties, banks, and the federal government trillions of dollars in lost property value. – North American Land Company2. Lease federal land; don’t sell it, with 25% of the proceeds going toward retiring the federal debt, 25% to the federal agency responsible for the real estate, 25% to the hosting state and 25% to the federal treasury. Result: The National debt will decrease. BLM, National Parks, National Highway System, Military, etc… would be funded with land lease revenues netting a much stronger ROI than outright land sales. After 99 years the land along with all of its improvements reverts back to “We The People” to lease again. -- 1787 Northwest Ordinance3. Repeal the 17th Amendment with each state bi-cameral legislative body electing a U.S. Senator every six years. Result: This will overturn William Randolph Hearst and fellow robber barons scheme to influence the U.S. Senate through funding and media influence peddling of statewide U.S. Senate Campaigns. The States, as the framers intended, will once again check the federal government through the U.S. Senate. -- 1787 U.S. Constitutional Convention4. Repeal U.S. Public Law 62-5 that limits the House of Representatives to 435 members restoring the House to citizens while providing emerging political parties with a mechanism for meaningful growth. Result: Congress will increase to 2400 hundred representatives with limited staff answerable to constituents who know their representatives personally as the framers intended. Corporations, PACS, Lobbyists and the Media will lose their influence on representatives who will once again become the voice of “We The People.” -- 1787 U.S. Constitutional Convention5. Expand medical, nursing, and health care education institutions to the double the rate at which the U.S. currently graduates doctors and nurses. Result: These newly educated health care workers will know how to live vigorous lives and be well equipped to care for 75 million aging baby boomers who think death is a preventable disease. -- 1910 Flexner Study6. Waive one year of Federal Income Tax for college graduates for every 18 dual enrollment credits earned in high school at area community colleges. Result: This will expedite the evolution of the secondary educational system into collegiate learning while greatly advancing our children’s education. -- 1838 Common School Journal Horace Mann 7. Provide federal grants to primary schools that instruct their students in the Spanish, French and or the Portuguese languages which are, along with English, the national tongues of the Americas. Result: U.S. citizens will better understand the cultures of their neighbors in the America’s facilitating communication and trade between neighbors. -- 1839 Ohio Bilingual Education 8. Negotiate and establish at least ten 250 year term land leases for city-states in strategically located emerging international markets similar to the Hong Kong agreement enacted by Great Britain and China. Result: U.S. business and culture will reap the benefits of nationalized safe zones all across the globe maximizing a quid pro quo access to each other’s goods & services. -- 1784 Far East Trade Mission: The Empress of China 9. Implement the metric system at the federal, state and local levels. Result: The U.S. is one of three countries that do not officially use the metric system, along with Burma (Myanmar) & Liberia. It will improve our engineering & international competitiveness. -- 1975 Metric Conversion Act 10. Create a U.S. Organization for Energy Economic Co-operation to develop green and nuclear energy technology with the goal of replacing fossil fuels. Special attention should be given to developing new breeder reactors that run off of the current nuclear waste stockpile and the retired nuclear arsenal Result: A new generation of Green Energy and Nuclear reactors, consuming nuclear waste, will lead to U.S. energy independence. -- 1939 The Manhattan Project 11.Provide Federal Tax incentives for superconducting power lines updating and expanding high voltage electric transmission to service to 500 million Americans. Result: As alternative energy sources begin to emerge new lossless and high voltage transmission systems will be in place to efficiently carry the electricity necessary to replace fossil fuels currently powering everything from motor vehicles to microwaves while meeting the ever expanding future energy demands of modern technology. -- 1936 Rural Electrification Act 12.Execute long term maintenance contracts for federal road, bridge and other infrastructure systems. Result: Construction companies will be diligent providing maintenance and repair because conscientiousness will maximize their profits and thus lower federal and state costs while lengthening the useful life U.S. infrastructure. --1755 Braddock and 1806 National Roads 13. Reconsider, “The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers,” William Shakespeare. Result: The law is the glue that holds this great nation together. Without lawyers we would not have frontline defenders of liberty and freedom. Numerous legal reforms, however, are required such as a bill preventing frivolous litigation – 1777 Articles of Confederation
