Government Against The People

Now that the tax-hungry Maoists we call 'Congress' makes its way back to Washington after the Christmas break, the charlatans who supposedly 'represent the people' are set to ram through government-controlled healthcare.

The fact is these people do not represent the citizens at all. Citizens have made it abundantly clear in poll after poll, in Town Hall meetings, and in Tea Party protests that they do not want this 2 trillion dollar government takeover of 1/3 of the nation's economy. Read more at the Examiner

A message from Michael Connelly, Retired attorney, Constitutional Law Instructor,
Carrollton , Texas :
Well, I have done it! I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200 (pdf): The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law. I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.

To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying. The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.

The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system. All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals. Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.

The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government. The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.

The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with! I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.

This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.

If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you. It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However, that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.

So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law It doesn't stop there though.

The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;

The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.. Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.

I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea. This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights. Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution." If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation. If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.

For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest they consult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.

News came yesterday that during the 2008 campaign Barack Obama promised at least 8 times that all negotiations on healthcare reform would be done in the open, on C-Span. Today Obama has agreed, under pressure, to C-Span coverage...FOR 1 HOUR ONLY!

Elected and Appointed U.S. Government Officials Who Violate Their Oath of Office and the Constitution Must Resign or Be Impeached

By Paul E. Vallely MG, US Army (Ret)

The Declaration of Independence states in part: “…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 affect their Safety and Happiness...”

The arrogance of power in the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government has reached epic and intolerable proportions across the nation. The U.S. President, Vice-President, cabinet members and senior appointed officials, members of Congress, and members of the Supreme Court take the following sacred oath of office:

“I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.”

Sadly, we have seen most of them violate their oath. Fraud, lying and corruption are rampant in the institutions of government and some have engaged in treasonous activities. They know who they are, as do the people.

The Articles of Confederation were replaced with the Constitution which granted the federal government enough authority to cultivate, promote and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity but not enough authority to destroy it. The balance between governmental authority and individual liberty was understood and accepted. Federal power was confined to that which was specifically enumerated in the Constitution and no more.

That power was further limited as it was spread among three federal branches – the legislative, executive and judicial. Beyond that, the power remained with the States and, ultimately, the people. In 1789, Thomas Jefferson was overheard saying to James Madison, “Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves therefore are its only safe depositories.”

In 1861, Abraham Lincoln’s issued this warning in his inaugural address, “Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government and form a new one. This is a most valuable and sacred right – a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world.”

The U.S. Constitution, Article One, Section Five, Clause II and the 10th Amendment to the Constitution provide the constitutional authority for the President, Vice-President, cabinet appointees, members of Congress and members of the Supreme Court to be removed from office for failure to properly discharge their constitutional duties and responsibilities.

The U.S. Constitution allows the citizens of their country to freely elect their government leaders. Americans elect the president and vice-president every four years, members of the House of Representatives every two years, members of the Senate every six years. Members of the Supreme Court are nominated by the president and receive lifetime appointments if confirmed by the Senate. And political appointees in the executive branch serve at the pleasure of the President if confirmed by the Senate.

“We, the People” have had enough of this current government. They, not the American People, are on a socialist and treasonous death march and bankrupting the country. We have watched the President and members of his Cabinet, Vice-President, members of Congress, and members of the Supreme Court, defile our nation’s founding documents and sacred principles – and violate their sacred oath of office.

These are extraordinary times. “We, the People” cannot necessarily wait for the next round of elections because of the urgent and deteriorating national security and economic conditions. The time has come to call on these public servants to put the interests of “We, the People” above their own self-interests by resigning from their government positions immediately. In the event no resignations and impeachment proceedings are forthcoming, the American people can assist them by voting them out of office starting in 2010.

Right, Not Privilege To Bear Arms

***please find petition at bottom


What part of "...shall not be infinged" do you not understand?


The great pay-back has begun, and it's going to be ugly.

The gun grabbers in Congress are paying back the anti-gun extremists who put them and Barack Obama in office.

American citizens are facing an assault on our gun rights like we’ve never seen before. You see, H.R. 45 is Barack Obama’s gun control package, and it includes the most vile anti-gun measures he’s supported over the years.

H.R. 45 establishes a NATIONAL gun registry database of every gun and its owner -- for the whole county! Your private information and every gun you own would be in the system.

But that’s only if you succeed in buying a gun in the first place!

And since H.R. 45 dramatically increases requirements for firearms purchases far beyond those ever proposed, you just might find youself incapable of buying a firearm once this bill takes effect. But, it gets worse:


*The National Association for Gun Rights has a survey ready for you to complete, but I want you to understand just how dangerous this bill is before I give you the link. Please bear with me for a moment.

You see, H.R. 45 would establish a national gun registry database which would:

Increase requirements for firearms purchases, far beyond those ever proposed.

Create a national firearms registry overseen by the Federal Government.

Invoke Draconian penalties for bookkeeping errors related to the Federal Firearms Database. It gets worse though.

Sarah Brady and her allies in Congress want to force you to take a written exam to prove that you are "fit" to exercise your Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms.

I'm sure I don't have to tell you that gun registration has historically laid the groundwork for total firearm confiscation. Citizen disarmament is the watchword of tyrants everywhere.

In fact, the most brutal dictators of the last century were famous for their gun registration and confiscation schemes.

But H.R. 45, Obama's National Gun Registry and Citizen Disarmament Act, is more than just a forced registration of all firearms in America.

The bill also makes it increasingly difficult to buy a gun in the first place.

Taken right out of Sarah Brady's Christmas wish list, H.R. 45 includes a laundry list of new restrictions on firearms purchases.

In addition to the outrageous national gun registration requirement, H.R. 45 also requires you to:

1. Pass a written examination to purchase a firearm.

2. Release your medical records -- including confidential mental health records -- to the government to get your "fitness" to own a firearm approved.

3. Observe a two-day waiting period before all firearms purchases.

4. Pay a gun tax of $25 or more on all firearm purchases.
Moreover, H.R. 45 bans all private firearms sales and maximizes penalties for minor clerical errors in dealing with the national gun registry.

The list goes on and on. It's enough to turn your stomach. We will even pay a fine for not immediately updating info, such as change of address. You can read the entire contents of the bill here.

I know I don't have to tell you, but these restrictions make a mockery of the Constitution. "The Right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" might as well say: "You have no rights."

* Even the Supreme Court’s recent Heller decision guaranteeing an individual’s right to own a firearm doesn’t hamper Barack Obama’s agenda one bit.

In fact, it emboldens gun grabbers to pass legislation taxing ammunition, increasing registration requirements, and drastically limiting when, how and where you can use your firearm.



We must make this gun-grab expensive and politically painful for the enemies of freedom. If we do, they'll flinch ... and LOSE.

By mobilizing hundreds of thousands of grassroots gun owners across the country, the National Association for Gun Rights can put anti-gun politicians on the hot seat.

The Obama Plan: Who Does It Serve?

"To Form a More Perfect Union" and "We The People" are the two most dreaded phrases to the relative handful of non-patriotic heathens which live among us, and reap the benefits of this precious land. The fact that our Constitution was/is based on a certain amount of freedom, is what gave them the freedom to methodically carve it down, in order to open the doors to 'doing away with' its basic principles altogether.
*
The agenda of a faction always present since the formation of our (more perfect) Union, has been devoted to utilizing the freedoms established for their own greed and power. Our most awesome Declaration is incomparable. Our founding fathers came from tyranny, and their sole purpose was to design a government system which would protect us from tyranny, and was fair to all. They knew, all too well, how easily power can corrupt. This is why the very first words of the document states "We the People".
*
The wonderful, incomparable, and for the most part envied, system of government which was wisely put in place some 230 years ago, was for the protection of the people, us. It was meant to leave the freedom, and the decisions made, in the hands of the people. Unlike any other country, the government was intended to serve the people, and nothing else.
*
To the relative few among us opposed to all this freedom of choice, these words are appalling. They have the elitist mindset, the people aren't capable of making the correct decisions and do not know what is best. Two centuries ago, as our founding fathers were giving their lives for our incomparable way of life, there was plans and scheming to sabotage our rights. Even Abraham Lincoln was aware of the tyrannical intentions of large corporations and the elite to utilize our way of governing against us.
*
Since the conspiring of power hungry individuals from within our borders over a century ago, other interests have evolved. Many individuals and groups (including religions) from other countries have jumped on the proverbial band wagon. As they all have the same basic agenda, to dismantle our form of government, foreign and domestic interests, alike, have formed alliances over the years. The end result of each interest may differ, but, the means are the same.
*
Alliances formed against our Republic over the years have included wealthy individuals from within, foreign governments, special interest groups, and radical religious factions. Their individual reasons and goals differ greatly. Their agendas are the exact same. They all share the same misguided belief that what they are doing is for the good of many, or all. How many traitors to our country over the years have conspired with other nations which resulted in the killing of our citizens?
*
Most of the time, atrocities committed by individuals or corporations against our country have gone unnoticed or unreported. Countless government officials, with agendas that served the special interest groups, either fed to, or were led by, these atrocities. The agenda of the far left has always coincided with the agenda of Socialist states. The liberal politicians appeal to the impoverished as the mindset is they must be taken care of, rather than giving them the means to take care of themselves. This is very appealing to those opposing capitalism.
*
Over the years, many back door deals have been made with terrorists, dictators, and special interest groups from within our government, which resulted in not only the loss of many American lives, but, the slashing of our document of freedom. Many, with hidden agendas, will argue this nation was not formed based on Christian faith. That is bad data. That is corrupt data which has been twisted over the years, to fulfill the agendas of the special interest groups. This is not religious propaganda, but, integral data, which has been sabotaged. The first landing by Christopher Columbus, was celebrated by the Christian placing a cross on the shore.
*
The first settlers in this great nation were all Christians, fleeing from oppression. The first laws written were based on the Ten Commandments, not special interests. The original amendments were constituted to elaborate on, or add to, definitions which protected our freedoms. The main intent by the authors of our Bill of Rights, was to limit the power of the government over the people. For example, the second amendment, the right to bare arms, was not implemented solely for protecting our property, but, to protect us from the government attempting to control "We the People".
*
Over the years, as we got further away from those ideals, and so comfortable in our freedom, we take it all for granted. As we have been blessed as a nation, and have reached out to other nations to share in our blessings, we have lost scope of the tyranny always lurking, seeking their advantage. They have the advantage now. The element of surprise, and the overwhelming ignorance and naivety of our citizens, coupled with the propaganda of the special interests, has finally given tyranny a foothold in our government.
*
This is not the unique plans of the Democrats, Republicans, or foreign intrigue. Rather, it is a culmination of all who have conspired to tear down the laws which protected our rights. We cannot, with integrity, say anymore, our government works for us. Instead, our government is working against "We The People". Many liberals are yelling, "The Tea Party participants are just a bunch of Republican sore losers". While many times the liberal agenda is more talking points than common sense, this is perhaps the most ignorant this citizen has ever heard.
*
The element which protests the existence of the Tea Party should be questioned, on grounds of suspicion, for being a traitor. Unfortunately, we have let our government grow to the point where most of our officials will turn away from the whole idea of the Tea Party, which was formed basically to protest the rising taxes. If anyone thinks tax is the only problem, they are just as naive as the liberal fanatics intent on sabotaging the Tea Party.
*
The facts be known, many of the Tea Party organizers are either Democrats, or Republicans which abandoned their conservative roots, and voted for Barack Obama. Many were misinformed and jumped on the idealistic "Change" train, initially. Most of Obama campaign funds were spent on public relation campaigns to discredit those whom attempted to reveal his true agenda. With boldness and disregard for the law, our great leader wasted no time initiating his agenda right under our noses. His agenda does not include "We The People".
*
After all is said and done, the Obama campaign will probably be labeled as one of, if not the, most elaborate hoaxes ever devised. A vast uninformed majority, which voted for him, sincerely hoped for the (undefined) change he sold to the public. Another percentage of his followers are knowledgeable of his deception, but, misguidedly think his alternative would be better than the direction we were headed. The truth is, Obama just grabbed the relay baton from Bush, and is running with it. His mixed special interest which motivates him differs from Bush's perhaps, but, the end result is the same: the annihilation of our Constitution and formation of a New World Order.
*
Anybody living in this country believing in a plan for a global government is, 1.) a traitor to our Constitution, and/or, 2.) has no idea what they are promoting. A global government, the agenda of the elite, is not anything glamorous. It only serves the elite. It eliminates the middle class. It dictates how we all live based upon the corrupt values of the few seeking more wealth and power over "We The People". For most of the population, New World Order is not a good thing. The few orchestrating it are counting on the ignorance of the majority who will follow blindly.
*
I would not be able to say, with a straight face, there are not a lot of right wing fanatics taking part in the Tea Party rallies. Just as surely, there will be many liberals, who are more informed than the usual Obama 'cult' followers. The point is, most Americans, regardless of affiliations, should be attending these events. If you consider yourself a Patriot, left or right or somewhere in between, you should be letting your voice be heard: We wish to keep our government controlled by "We The People".
