Article 2 Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States says,
He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.
What we now call czars and excuse as the exclusive right of the president to pick without any consultation of the senate are not lawful or constitutional. These czars are public ministers, or consuls or at the very least to be considered “other officers” and as such they need to be confirmed by the senate yet our senate has not vetted a single one of them.
How do they justify this? They do not justify it at all. They simply let it happen and we allow them to let it happen. There ought to be public outrage regarding the lack of responsibility of our senators.
I'm guessing Obama and our senators have either not bothered to read the constitution or do not feel it applies to them. I have written to Senator Barbie Boxer and Senator Diane (Frankenstein) Feinstein) and of course all you ever get back from these lousy representatives are form letters that seem to indicate they don't even bother to read them.
If you haven't done so I recommend you take the 30 mins it may take to read through the Constitution. Unlike what our congress puts together our founding fathers wrote in very clear understandable terms how they wanted things to run. You will be amazed at the number of things our non-representing representatives now do that violate the constitution. Maybe because it's just not convenient to do those things or maybe they think they have good reason, but they certainly don't have any legal reason for it. The constitution requires that money be in gold and silver coin, not paper and certainly not paper not even backed by gold.
In just a cursory reading of the constitution I have run into at least 10 clear violations of the constitution that have just become accepted as normal. Pelosi, Reid, and almost every other non-representing representative we have seems to show disdain for the constitution.
Keep in mind that attempting to overthrow the constitution, according to the constitution is considered an act of treason. Obama has been shown even from his college days that he holds disdain for the constitution so why is he even president. I wonder if such writing as this will get my on an enemies list. Yet it seems not only is Obama but possibly even the congress is keeping such a list. These things have been confronted briefly and brushed aside by the media with no real action taken. This goes to show just how much our non-representing representatives have stripped the power of the constitution.
We need to get rid of these people as soon as possible if we hope to keep the republic intact.

Compromise Health Care Bill
Some news organizations are calling the latest reiteration of the health care bill a compromise. I suppose either words don't mean what they used to mean or these reporters simply don't know how to use words correctly. For the to be a compromise there has to be an alternative presented. The problem is that the House of Representatives have not even allowed the republicans in on the meetings to help craft the bill. They are getting no alternative views. They are simply presenting and promoting what they want.
Have they changed the bill from their first absurd offering? No! They have not changed what they're offering. At least they haven't really taken anything out of it. They've reworded some of what they had in the bill and added a lot more to it, but they haven't really taken a single thing out of the bill at all.
Our non-representing representatives have not added a single thing into the bill that they were hearing from the tea parties. It is as if they didn't hear a single word we were saying. Personally I find myself as much offended and angered by this as their arrogant aristocratic attitude. I know that I am not alone in this. It would seem there are several important elections about to happen. It may be that congress is waiting to see what happens with those votes to determine just how serious we are about getting rid of those in congress not doing the will of the people. For the most part this means all of them. AT this point nothing would make me happier than if everyone that went to the polls simply refused to vote for the incumbent. It is almost certain that no matter who we got in there they wouldn't do a worse job and they'd also be on notice that we can get rid of them as well if they don't look out for our interests.
The health care bill being presented to us by our non-representing representatives is anything but a compromise. They are determined to force the public "option" on us. They are ever so careful in the terms they use. I suppose they think if they call it an option it will give us the impression that we actually can have a choice. The reality is that even if we choose to keep our current plan the bill states we can only do that till something, anything, changes in that plan and then we can't keep it. What company can possible keep everything the same forever. They cannot compete if they can't change with the market. The very premise of this is so ridiculous it isn't funny and I mean it ISN'T funny! What kind of an option is that? I suppose it's as much of an option as the bill is a compromise.
I've said it before and I'm saying it again vote the bums out of office. Of course because they are my non-representing representatives my person favorites are, in no special order, Barbie Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Lynn Woolsey. Beside Obama there are probably no more liberal representatives than these three... Oh and of course Pelosi and Reid, but then that goes without saying. How did we get so many communist and Marxist loving non-representatives? How did we let ourselves vote the people in office? Worse still how come we keep voting them back in office. Do the people really want communism that much? Do the American people really not know what communism will mean to them in their daily lives? Do they really believe that everyone just gives up all their extra freely? Have they not looked at how it's worked out in other countries? If they are so excited about communism as a form of government they want then why not just go some place that already has it?
Maybe some of you are thinking if you don't like the way it turns out you can just change it back. Once again I encourage you to go to history. There is hardly a single example of a nation that has turned communist that has simply been able to change their mind and go back to something less oppressive. This is the reason we have checks and balances. The problem is that the lines of power have been blurred and many of those checks and balances are gone now. If the rest fail we will not simply be able to get them back.
Consider carefully then who you vote back into office for you may find that you can not turn the clock back nor can you simply change your mind and have things go back the way they were before. It is rather like unraveling knitting, it is much easier to pull out all the knots than to put them back.
People like Pelosi, Reid, Barbara Boxer, Lynn Woolsey, Diane Feinstein, and their ilk must be kicked out of congress if we are to get our republic back.

We HAVE to do Something... When It Suits Us
It is comical when you consider the absurdity that is defined by those who are politically correct or the elite in Washington. The whole world is going to burst into flames before our eyes unless we go back to living like cavemen immediately and though we dare not drill for our own oil and there is certainly no way to stop using it immediately, these things escape those who've declared themselves the keeper of Mother Earth and have made her a matter of Goddess worship again.
It is common sense that at least for now we still need to use oil and gas, but we certainly can't drill our own. In some twisted way this makes sense to the environmentalists. Its not fine to use other country's oil in their opinion, but for some unknown reason it's better to do that and make ourselves dependent on them rather than drill our own until we can make alternatives that work to replace those forms of energy.
Drilling has been shown to be safe and to affect only very small areas but the environmentalists would have us believe that entire species are being destroyed, thousands or even millions of trees are being destroyed or entire populations of fish and huge sections of the ocean are being destroyed if we drill there. Nothing could be further from the truth, but then the environmentalists are not really concerned with the truth.
There is another agenda behind all they are doing. It would seem the real goal of all this environmentalism is to change where the power is as well as a redistribution of the wealth from the wealthy nations to the poor ones. We are at every turn being made to feel guilty that we are creating SO much CO2. In reality, but again we don't want to let the facts bother us, the amount of CO2 we are putting into the air is less than 1/1000th of 1% of all the CO2 put in the atmosphere by all of nature. We don't hear that one volcano going off puts out more CO2 than all the cars in the U.S. do in a full year.
Al Gore does a video call "An Inconvenient Truth" and it's a hit even though it's not the truth. When confronted about this at a recent meeting he had the man's microphone turned off because it was the only way to shut him up. This is just one example of the open mindedness of the left. They certainly don't seem to want to have freedom of the press or freedom of speech. It seems they want to be free to say what they want including lies and the like, but they quickly shut up those who tell the truth about them.
For environmentalists the end always justifies the means. If they have to falsify facts, make up lies about what their opponents say, create false photographs, or even rewrite history it's all ok because the important thing is the environment. The other side however dares not even speak the truth for fear of retribution and press witch hunts to destroy their character.
These are the people we have in government. Between cap and trade or whatever name they keep changing it to so they can try to pass it without opposition and the many environmental laws that are so restrictive you can't even plant a tree on your own property without a 100 permits they are determined to suck the rest of us dry.
It is time for the American people to start using our money as well as our mouths and votes to let these people know we're going to take it any more.

Gay Marriage by the Feds???
Once again we have our federal government sticking its nose in where it doesn't belong. They decided with all the problems going on with the economy that they now need to involved themselves in the issue of gay marriage even though the constitution gives them absolutely no right to be involved in that issue. That is an issue clearly given to the states since it wasn't given to the federal government.
As usual it seems our non-representing representatives could care less about the constitution unless they are confronted on the issue, even then they fight tooth and nail to take authority that isn't theirs to take.
I have taken the time to write to every one of my non-representing representatives to let them know how I feel about this issue. It is my hope that at least some will read this and it will spur them to contact their non-representing representatives and tell them to start paying attention to the 10th amendment. Encourage your Governor and other local leaders to start rolling back and negating the laws enacted by congress at a federal level that are not lawful for them to pass.

Level Playing Field
What they say.... What they mean.
You need to understand when our non-representing representatives and our command and thief tell us they need to level the playing field with health insurance they don't mean between private insurance providers. They mean that the government option can't compete with the free market unless they place all kinds of absurd restrictions on them thus driving them out of business and forcing us to get there.
If they are so convinced this plan is good then the question still remains why don't they right into the bill that every representative is required to get the government health care even if they could still keep what they've got. After all common sense tells us if they really think it's such a great thing they would surely want to have the same thing for themselves that they're voting in on us. We all know this will never happen.
For some reason our non-representing representatives refuse to get the fact that we don't want their health care. Instead of finding yet more ways to restrict the market how about passing some laws that free up the market so insurance companies can offer plans across state lines instead of trying to come up with unreasonable price controls, or allowing people health savings accounts that are tax free etc. There are certainly other means of legislation than the government providing the health care themselves. I'd ask if our leaders are really that stupid. I think they are VERY intelligent they just have a different agenda than what they want us to believe. If they really are that stupid then they deserve to be voted out of office for that reason. If they've got a different agenda and are lying to the American people then they deserve to be voted out on that basis. It seems regardless of what they're thinking our non-representing representatives have to GO!

Vote Da Bums Out!
After the Tea Party Tax Rally in Washington D.C. I have heard some that say we shouldn't vote all the reps out because there are a few there that are good. Too look at their records we can see plenty they've compromised on to get small concessions. As far as I'm concerned they are no better than the rest. We certainly wouldn't be the worse off because we voted out the one or two "good people" in Washington out of the more then 400 representatives we have there.
I'm at the point that I'd rather vote for my next door neighbor or even a stranger on the street rather than vote any incumbent back in office. These people have shown us what they'll do and where they want to take the country. The fact that even after so many protests and town halls that our representatives are still willing and even resolute about passing health care, cap and trade, and card check, and yet refuse to verify the president is a natural born citizen or investigate ACORN, or do anything about the more than 40 Czars who are really running things, none of which we voted for, says these people cannot be trusted.
Here and there we have one loan voice standing up and saying something which is complete common sense while all the rest stand against them. It was decided before they even started the hearings on Sotomayor that she would be the next Supreme Court Justice. It seems nothing she said would have prevented that. Even those who opposed her said such things as, they didn't feel she was qualified for the office but they were going to vote for her anyway. More than any other issue about her was the issue that she was hispanic. They certainly avoided talking about outstanding qualifications because there were simply too many controversial things she said. It seemed all she had to say was that she was taken out of context or that she didn't really believe the things she ruled on even though in some cases we have many instances of that happening.
This same thing is true of our current representatives. They can vote for item after item that we don't agree with or want them to vote for but all they have to do is vote for one thing we like and we think they've magically changed. They act as though they had some epiphany at least till they win the next election then they go right back to business is usual.
How many times do they have to violate our trust before we decide to get rid of them. Are we so afraid that anyone else could really do a worse job than they have that we won't at least try some other people in their place? I say let them go back to the regular business world and have to live by the laws they've created... at least till we can get those laws overturned.
The level of taxation in this nation is ridiculous. We've lost sight of what the federal government is for. They are there to protect us against foreign and domestic enemies, they are there to keep order, meaning police judges, jails etc. There is nothing int he constitution anywhere stating or even indicating that Americans have the RIGHT to retirement, the RIGHT to health care, or any of the other insane rights they've made up even as they try to trample on the right to free speech, the right to practice your religion (because if you express your religious beliefs in public it may now be a hate crime)
These non-representing representatives swear an oath to protect and defend the constitution and yet they are looking for every way possible to ignore it or even destroy it in favor of a socialist government. It is clear the constitution does not allow for a socialist government. It does allow for us to vote out the constitution and come up with another form of government if we so choose, but that is not what's happening.
It is time to vote the bums out! We do not need these people in office. They don't really bring any special or great skills to the office with them. Like actors they are full of themselves as being major cogs in the wheels of society when in reality they're no different than we are and can really be easily replaced. So why not, over the next six years, vote each and every one of them out of office. It's an easy thing to do. All everyone needs to do is to determine to vote for anyone but the encumbent and they'll be out. You can still vote for the person of your party if you so choose just vote for the member of your party running against the encumbent!

Fixed Town Halls
When politics reaches the point that the President of the United States is staging what I consider fake or staged town halls and the media knowing this does nothing it is a strong sign that we are nearly at the end of our democracy. There is little difference between this and what was done in Russia or Nazi Germany.
I know most will not abide any reference to the Nazis as they are perceived to be the epitomy of evil with no comparison, and though this is very close to true in some respects we need to realize in many respects it is not true. The methods Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and others used to take power are the same methods used thoughout history. The outcomes vary only in severety or degree but not in kind. The end result is that the people lose the freedom and are turned on each other.
We have a President who seems to be find with having a blog on the White House website that advises Americans to turn in other Americans if they have a contrary view to the administration. When questioned about this he comes with an alternate though seeming absurd interpretation that they just want to know what's being said and send an email or communication back to the one who sent them the sample so they can "correct" their views and give them an "accurate" understanding of what the administration really is trying to sell the people.
Obama has seen the encounters many of the senators has had and is not about to risk that. Unlike the senators who are unwilling to risk being found out to have shams of town halls Obama is more willing to risk that than he is to risk losing face with crowds questioning what he's doing in front of the whole world. It is a sure thing if that happened it would be on youtube and would be all over the internet before the night was out.
The American people seem to have found their heart at last and are beginning to speak out. Thanks to the internet it is even possible to organize and bypass the need for what has become known as the state run media to report on what they're doing. They know that the news will get out on the net just as it did with the demonstrations in Iran. The only fear the people have now is that the same thing will happen that happened with Iran. They are afraid they will be marginalized and ignored.
Still I do not believe this is possible. I do believe that we now have an administration and leaders that are not afraid to do things which are unconstitutional and illegal. The example of the White House website asking for people to inform on their fellow citizens by sending information about those who hold opposing views is disturbing but also a sign of the boldness of our leaders to even break the law. This action is illegal no matter what happens at this point. The White House is not allowed to keep lists of possible dissenters nor is it allowed to delieve official communications sent to. As long as that blog stays up asking people to inform and as long as people send that information the lists cannot help but grow thus adding to this illegal action.
My surprise comes in that to my knowledge not one lawyer has taken up the cause and forced the issue with the White House. The media certainly have the money and often even lawyers already on the payrole so why are none of these used to confront this outrage? It is possible that many lawyers have watched what has happened with our judges refusing to hear anything on the Obama eligibility issue and have decided this it yet another thing that just isn't worth pursuing. Obama has so managed the judiciary with his power and his army of lawyers that people have not even been able to gain a hearing with a single judge which makes it seem that the people don't have a real case.
If the media bothered to report how much this were happening I think the people would be in the streets demanding some action, but again they only see the news on the internet which is not always as "reliable" as the legitimate news. What a joke! I only hope someone out there doing a search runs across this page and knows someone that will take some action.

When questioned about this he comes with an alternate though seeming absurd interpretation that they just want to know what's being said and send an email or communication back to the one who sent them the sample so they can "correct" their views and give them an "accurate" understanding of what the administration really is trying to sell the people.
Obama has seen the encounters many of the senators has had and is not about to risk that. Unlike the senators who are unwilling to risk being found out to have shams of town halls Obama is more willing to risk that than he is to risk losing face with crowds questioning what he's doing in front of the whole world. It is a sure thing if that happened it would be on youtube and would be all over the internet before the night was out.
The American people seem to have found their heart at last and are beginning to speak out. Thanks to the internet it is even possible to organize and bypass the need for what has become known as the state run media to report on what they're doing. They know that the news will get out on the net just as it did with the demonstrations in Iran. The only fear the people have now is that the same thing will happen that happened with Iran. They are afraid they will be marginalized and ignored.
Still I do not believe this is possible. I do believe that we now have an administration and leaders that are not afraid to do things which are unconstitutional and illegal. The example of the White House website asking for people to inform on their fellow citizens by sending information about those who hold opposing views is disturbing but also a sign of the boldness of our leaders to even break the law. This action is illegal no matter what happens at this point. The White House is not allowed to keep lists of possible dissenters nor is it allowed to delieve official communications sent to. As long as that blog stays up asking people to inform and as long as people send that information the lists cannot help but grow thus adding to this illegal action.
My surprise comes in that to my knowledge not one lawyer has taken up the cause and forced the issue with the White House. The media certainly have the money and often even lawyers already on the payrole so why are none of these used to confront this outrage? It is possible that many lawyers have watched what has happened with our judges refusing to hear anything on the Obama eligibility issue and have decided this it yet another thing that just isn't worth pursuing. Obama has so managed the judiciary with his power and his army of lawyers that people have not even been able to gain a hearing with a single judge which makes it seem that the people don't have a real case.
If the media bothered to report how much this were happening I think the people would be in the streets demanding some action, but again they only see the news on the internet which is not always as "reliable" as the legitimate news. What a joke! I only hope someone out there doing a search runs across this page and knows someone that will take some action.
