The War On Our Constitution And The Path To Victory

There are continuous attacks on our Constitution by Mr. Obama and many of our politicians through the Enviromental Protection Agency, Health & Human Services, the Education department, and the Transportation Security Agency. There are so many of these agencies that I don’t think the politicians themselves know them all. Also there is unconstitutional legislation like the healthcare law. Don’t take my word for it. Look at the enumerated powers listed in our Constitution and then compare that to what each of these agencies are currently doing to withhold our natural resources, force us to compromise our religious belief’s and our right to privacy, indoctrinate our students into socialist and marxists ideology through radical teaching, and take away our right to due process at all airports where we are treated as criminals until we prove our innocence.

But these attacks are most onerous within the healthcare law. This one law all by itself could totally change life in our country from freedom to slavery.  You think that can never happen in America. I thought so too until the healthcare bill was passed into law through bribery and coercion and against the consent of the people.

All of this may appear very complicated but if we look at it through the lens of our Constitution it  sorts itself out pretty quickly. Look at our Constitution and you will find that none of these agencies mentioned above and the actions they take appear in the enumerated powers of the executive branch as listed under Article II. There are many more such violations of the enumerated powers our Constitution grants each branch of government. Too many to go into here.

This war on our Constitution has been ramped up tremendously in the last several years but it’s been going on since before the great depression. Whenever legislation has passed that gives any branch of government a power that is not an enumerated power granted by our Constitution a battle has been lost along with a little of our individual rights. A presidential veto would be the right thing to do for any such legislation along with the page showing this is not an enumerated power. Alas, very few of our leaders have had the courage nor the fortitude to do this. An example of this is social security. There is no enumerated power for this in Article I, section 8 of our Constitution.

Each piece of legislation that is not held up to our Constitution to see if it is within the boundaries of the government’s enumerated powers actually changes the relationship between the government and the individual and this change is never good for the individual. Is it ever good to let someone else decide for you? Of course not. That would be like saying being robbed is good for a person. In actual fact when we are robbed of some of our liberty we also lose some of ourselves as well.

There is only one correct way to change our Constitution and it is not through legislation or executive order. It is through Article 5 of our Constitution. Read through it and you will find that this procedure if followed will give, ”We the People”, the most say in the proposed change. A change like that put forth by the healthcare bill would have never seen the light of day if our politicians upheld their oath of office and followed our Constitution.

So, what can we do about this seemingly disastorous predicament we find ourselves in? We can study our founding documents with friends and family. There are resources and suggested sites on this blog to help you.  Start or join groups who want to put our Constitution back in use. Contact your representatives, senators and the president insisting on the same. Last but not least keep dreaming of the day when the Declaration of Independence, the Constituion, and the Bill of Rights are known so well by all of us that no politician or bureaucrat will dare violate them!

Victory is right around the corner!

Religious Freedom & The Constitution

The first amendment to the Constitution states that, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Of course that means we can put our religious beliefs into action in whatever way we choose. That is the point, isn’t it? We have free will. We are free men and free women. The government or some politician doesn’t have the authority under the Constitution to decide for us. Most Americans do believe this. The problem is that many if not most of our politicians do not understand that the Constitution was designed to secure the individual’s rights, not the federal governments. We have strayed so far from our Constitution that Mr. Obama thinks that he can decide for us which of our beliefs and principles we can exercise and which we cannot. All this in spite of the fact that the bill of rights specifically states exactly the opposite and the oath of office requires Mr. Obama to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution. This is one of the president’s main functions and is neglect of duty if not being done. Thus an impeachable offense!

It is extremely important all Americans, no matter which side you are on,  face these facts. We do have religious freedom in our country and Mr. Obama is working quickly to remove this right bit by bit from our Constitution! Even if your beliefs are not in their crosshairs now eventually they will be and so will you. The question is will there be anyone left standing with you?

We can think that this could never happen here and well, everyone uses contraception anyway, so what’s the big deal. But consider this, every dictatorship, totalitarian state, marxist state and police state has started out by taking away freedom’s enjoyed by it’s citizens. Don’t take my word for it check it out for yourself. Look at what has happened in other countries like Venezuela.

We must confront what is actually occurring here, right now, right this minute. Many of the bureaucrats and politicians in our government are factually working to undermine our Constitution and bill of rights. The evidence is all around us. The bigger our government gets the more freedoms we lose with more forms to fill out and more bureaucrats to tell us what and how we are allowed to do things.  These bureaucrats are unelected and appointed mostly by the president, who from his actions, demonstrates that he’s only interested in what the government can do to you and is totally uninterested in what the government can’t do to you! Ask yourself how else could someone care more about a supposed right to a free abortion drug than to the free exercise of one’s religion, principles and morals? This defies logic!

What can we do about it? First we must let all of our representatives, senators and the president know that these are unconstitutional actions, period! Nothing can force us to go against our own principles and belief’s. Not even the federal government! Next write letters, send e-mails, visit offices and phone your senators, representatives and the president. We will let them know who’s the boss and in the process enforce our Constitution.

All of us are guaranteed the free exercise of our beliefs whether religious or not. Any attempt by anyone in our government to strip this right from any individual in America is unacceptable and will not be tolerated! It’s as simple as Keeping Our Constitution Working!

Who To Vote For & The Constitution

How in the world can we decide which candidate to choose in the primaries or the general election? (I mention the primaries because they are more important than  the general election in picking someone who will carry out their oath of office.) This is not an easy task. The media has an agenda and leans pretty  far to the left(anti-constitutional). In my opinion politicians themselves cannot be trusted since many of them are interested only in maintaining their power. So, what can be done to sift through the mountains of propaganda?

A good idea would be to read the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights. If someone tells you these founding documents can’t be understood because of age or semantics let them know that’s just not true. These documents are easily understood. If you run across a word you don’t know look it up and get the correct meaning. Use it until you understand it and then read the section again. By the time you’re done you will know our founding documents as well as any constitutional professor. And you will know how these documents protect the individuals right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You’ll also understand that the Constitution must be applied if we want a free society.

The next step is to look at what each individual candidate has done. You of course can listen to what they have to say but if a candidate says, “I am a budget hawk,” and yet they’ve voted for bills that have cost trillions of dollars of borrowed money and that take away the individual’s rights,” well, those actions speak for themselves loud and clear.

Ask the question, “Do they support our founding documents or do they support an ever expanding federal government?” The bigger the government the more power that government has over the individual. The more centralized the government the less power the individual has over that government. De-centralization gives everyone  more liberty. In order to achieve this look over the article, “Liberty & Enforcing The Constitution“.

Let’s do a little studying, take a good hard look at what the candidates are actually doing and pick those who will secure the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all of us.

Our children and grandchildren are counting on us. Let’s do it!

The Constitution vs. Control Over We The People

Controlling and restraining the people has been an age old goal of all governments since the beginning of man’s history. Whether it is a king, queen, emperor, czar, warlord or dictator the goal most of the time is the same; control, control, control. The Founders of course came from europe where there were kings, queens, lords and nobles interested in of all things how to control the people. In the 20th century we developed such things as facsism, communism and socialism. All of these forms of government have the same goal. Controlling the people. Control and restrain the governed. What about liberty and freedom?

The Founders wrote our founding documents to finally give all of us an opportunity to rise above this restraint and oppression. The only restraints would be the laws of the land which were based on of all things the ten commandments and of course the ones which we put on ourselves. The people now had choices over where they lived, what they did(Shall I say small businesses?) and who ruled them. We’ve now come full circle. Many of our politicians, proclaiming that the Constituion gives them the authority, plan to control all facets of our lives through the healthcare law, the banking law and redistributing property(money). We now vote in our kings, queens, lords and nobles.

Following the Constitution gives control to us, the people. We control and restrain the government not the other way around. We got off to a good start on November 2nd. Let’s keep the ball rolling, up the ante and leave our children and grandchildren with the freedom & liberty the Founders entrusted us with.

We can do it!
