We are experiencing the fall of our government as we know it. When legislators take the attitude that they know better our needs as a people,as individuals and communities then the representative government becomes defunct. When the elected turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the will of the majority to advance their own personal agendas then at that moment I would ask the question; Are we bound to follow the leadership of that government? You educate yourself and decide.
I do not ask that question lightly. I am aware that this administration takes a dim view of anyone that would have the audacity to question their leadership abilities and motives. I am also aware of the disdain that they have for the populace in general. Lies and deceit are the standard of this president and his staff. They think nothing of the truth. The truth is an inconvenience that need not be addressed. The mockery that is made of any group that takes a stand is nothing short of a revelation of their wicked prideful hearts.
So what is in violation according the Constitution and Bill of Rights?
Freedom of speech would be a start. To be mocked by the speaker of the house is evidence of either the lack of understanding that people have a right to ban together and speak out or (I believe this is the case) contempt for the Bill of Rights and its precepts. They demand respect but do not believe it is a two way street.
Article the third [Amendment I]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Then what about the right to peaceably assemble? Would not the reactions of leaders show an attitude that is prejudice. When sodomites can march on Washington and are considered a kind of heroes and stand in our capital perpetrating vile acts and nothing is said. But let a couple million Tea Party protesters show and we get a reaction of hate full of venom. Why would that be? Because we stand in the way of their brand of liberty. Freedom for them to change our form of government a socialism.
Article the third [Amendment I]
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
People have been allowed to redress grievances many times during my life. The civil rights movement is one example. Now we have the Tea Party growing by leaps and bounds and the undercurrent is that socialist hope and change is NOT what the people want. They want less government not more and we want life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Not oppression, dictators, and heavy taxes funding things we don't support or believe in.
Article the twelfth [Amendment X]
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
There is no authority under the Constitution for these people to assume the powers that have been taken. Nor can the legally force people to associate in their healthcare or any other socialistic endeavor. Power is to the people not the elite. The Founding Fathers set in place safeguards that the people have the right to resist such changes that are not Constitutional and never to allow the establishment of an elite/ruling legislature or judiciary.
Section 9 No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
Founding Quotes from Founding Fathers.
Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God." Thomas Jefferson
"When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny."
— Thomas Jefferson
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
— Benjamin Franklin (on the title page of An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania - 1759)
A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.

Health care was bought through the Senate.....
Note I said the so called healthcare reform was BOUGHT(it wasn't a typo) through the senate by Harry Reid D-NV and his crooked minions. sen Ben Nelson D-NE I am sure was bought off just as was Mary Landreau D-LA and others. With overwhelming citizen opposition the socialist/marxist bill passed today. To add hurt to injury the vote buying was also paid for by the Tax Payer.
The Founding Fathers would be calling for revolution and a dismantling of this government.The Constitution has once again been ignored and the governed have been trampled upon.
I am not sure what all the ramifications are and believe we cannot know all due to the secret underhanded way it was constructed and passed or how much leeway it gave to bureaucracy. Where is the promised transparency? Only EVIL has to hide in the darkness and only Truth can be bold and open. It is a sad day in this nation. The Framers of the Constitution intended that bills before the congress would be long drawn out debates. The complicated process put in place was to allow time for the dirty little secrets to come to light and be removed. Time for the people to react and fight. The reason for this push to vote before Christmas was to give the crooked ones an excuse before they went home to face the people. We should not let them rest the whole of Christmas vacation. Shame on them and shame on us that sat by and did not stand up.
Text from the Declaration of Independence
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes;
Founding Quote from Founding Fathers
There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to trust no man living with power to endanger the public liberty.
John Adams
I will end here lest I say something that will reveal the total sum of my indignation and the anger that I feel in my heart. We the people have been ignored so blatantly that I fear it is a sign that tyranny is not only a possible end but has already arrived. I fear the arrogance that has been allowed to permeate among the branches of government has become a religion in itself,a religion of humanism and greedy hunger for power It is an evil that has entered their hearts and blinded their minds.
Romans 13:11,12 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge;
If the people of this nation do not rise up now and demand a return to the Constitution and the Biblical principles upon which it was founded, it will be lost forever. Then our grandchildren will never taste of true liberty.

Public Money for Private Business.
We have been hearing a lot about private business receiving public money,your money, and government takeover of private businesses. First let me say that I find nowhere in the Constitution that the federal government has the authority to either authorize funds, tax money, to be used for private business. Nowhere. Further more I find nowhere does the government have authority to interfere with free market enterprise or take over any private business. They do have limited federal authority to prosecute criminal activity by businesses and they do have some authority to prosecute individual criminal activity. I say some because the states have more jurisdiction and power than the federal government.
Founding Quote from Founding Fathers
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address.
Now we do not see prosecutions because mismanagement is not a criminal offense. If a company like General Motors cannot operate at a profit the free market dictates that they go out of business. If a company does not produce a product that the people want or need then the result is company closure. It really is that simple. Propping up companies simply is not constitutional and cannot legally be practiced.
Practical Quotes
"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves." William Pitt in the House of Commons November 18, 1783
When government starts to meddle in private affairs it only leads to chaos and a unproductive environment. Man was created to produce and reap fruit from his labor. God never intended nor did our founding fathers, for us to be given a free ride at the expense of others. It is not fair nor just that I have to pay for the indiscretions of the few. The GM bailout was about propping up unions and in a sense a payoff for the support of these unions to the socialist liberals.
Founding Quotes from Founding Fathers
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." Thomas Jefferson
We must incite a revolution of knowledge of our rights under the constitution. We must get busy and work to elect representatives that are passionate about that document. We must do all we can to return our nation to its Christian roots so that citizens may live the free and peaceable gift without fear and interference of a tyrannical government in the name of equality.
Founding Quotes from Founding Fathers
"We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat in our drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people.. must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live.. We have not time to think, no means of calling the mis-managers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow suffers. Our landholders, too...retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must...be contented with penury, obscurity and exile.. private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance.
This is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering... And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression." Thomas Jefferson
Under a constitutional republic all opportunity is equal and the free are able to pursue life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness according to his passion and ability. Failure for most people is good and an opportunity to grow. Fear of failure makes a person a failure permanently. Freedom brings true prosperity to the nation.
God Bless America!

Limited Powers of the Federal Government
Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Our founding Fathers intended that the majority of power remain with the states and that the federal government be limited.
Why would they want to address a limited federal bureaucracy? Why would a fledgling government even consider limiting it's own body of power? The foresight and wisdom of these men is nothing short of miraculous. They knew the hearts of men, given the chance, would work for their own interests. They wanted to keep the seat of power near the people where the constituency would have an arms length control of the representatives. The law making would be literally in the neighborhood where the people could keep an eye on the process.
Founding Quote
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
- Thomas Jefferson
What we have today is a powerful seat of government distant from the majority of the people passing laws and meddling in the affairs of people not constitutionally granted. We have recently seen examples of the representation ignoring the will of people and acting in their own personal interests setting themselves up to gain position and monetarily.
Founding Quote
"In questions of power then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution."
- Thomas Jefferson
Some examples of unconstitutional actions of late are the so called "stimulus" which neither stimulated anything for the benefit of the people but was a direct violation of constitutional law.
Health care is not in the realm of federal powers and the taxation without the consent of the people certainly is not. Department of Education was intended to be left to the local school boards, not a national bureaucracy.
Most social programs and giveaways have no constitutional basis IE: "Cash for Clunkers". The national emergency of swine flu H1N1 was not and is not an emergency at all. Lies and deceit are definitely not constitutional.
What measures must the people, you and I, take to regain control and put a stop to the lunacy?
Number One, first and foremost is self-education. We cannot force a return to the Constitution without knowledge of the content but also of the intent of the Formers of this document. We must know the men behind the document. This blog will assist you with that. Together we can learn of them.
Number Two We must debunk the outright lies and misconceptions. One example that comes to mind is "Separation of Church and state". Not only is that statement not part of the constitution it is not part of the intention. Freedom of Worship is guaranteed. I will address where the perpetrators of this lie got the idea and educate you as to what Thomas Jefferson actually said, to whom he was talking, and why. You will be surprised and disgusted.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Number Three we must investigate candidates that will stand with the constitution no matter what and remove by election the President, Senators,Congress those that degrade and ignore that document.
Founding Quote
These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.
- Thomas Paine
Our national survival is at stake. Do not make the mistake of thinking things will get better on their own. We must be active, pro-active and even radical in our defense of the constitution and accept nothing less. We will be attacked and worse but We the People are the one thing that evil, power hungry, elitist men and women are afraid of. They know we can take back the country any moment we choose. It is time to take it back! Swiftly and surely.
