By The People

There are fundamental flaws in how American government operates today,
contrary to the Constitution and the vision of a representative republican form of governance.
I intend doing something about it: by educating and informing others who
are not even aware of the dangers.

Fixes for the economy: Common Sense

"The best way to put more money in people's wallets is to leave it there in the first place." -Edwin Feulner



Wise words indeed, and words that we have not lived by in the United States of America. Instead, we the people that compose the many States of the union, have abdicated our own personal responsibilities of vigilance for liberty and injustice. We allowed laws to be written by those we elected, and they in turn have thinly sliced away at privacy and personal liberties ever since.

There was a nasty trick played upon the citizens of this nation by allowing them to directly elect Congress and a Presidential "ticket" which included of course the Vice President. That way, we could not choose one from different political parties. Back then there were many political parties, and they all offered candidates for office. Same as today but still, with much more liberty than what is possible under the election rules currently.

But that is only a compounding of the "original sin" if you will, and that was the very real and historical conspiracy that became the Federal Reserve System. Finally, America's enemy's had a way to wrest control of the nation while the people would not even be aware of it. And most of Congress and the President may not really know what is the real power behind them. Oh I am sure that Mr. Obama thinks he is the seat of power, but although Congress has abdicated many responsibilities to the Executive and Judicial branches, it is that very act that is unconstitutional in breadth and depth.

The Federal Reserve System must be abolished in order to restore real fiscal responsibility to the government. And with it, its collection agency also must be eliminated, that which we fondly call the Internal Revenue Service. Now isn't that a grand play on words? And it does appear that both the Fed and the IRS are tied to the United States Department of the Treasury, but that is all smoke and mirrors. The Fed is totally independent of the government. There are appointees to the Board, but the President and Congress are told by the Fed what is going to happen, and not the other way around as it should be.

But I am not going to explain that all again here; you can watch The Money Masters or Russo's America: Freedom to Facsism if you need to educate yourself about how fiat money is the root cause of debt in government.

Nulliying Federal Mandates

The Virgina and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 were written in response to the dreaded Alien and Sedition Act, and the phrase "Principles of '98" became shorthand for the nullification and/or interposition. Over time, the "Principles of '98" would be invoked by many other states, many times for a variety of issues.

Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Kentucky Resolution of 1798, "The several states composing the United States of America are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to their general (federal) government" and "where powers are assumed (by the federal or general government) which have not been delegated, a nullification of the act is the rightful remedy."

But James Madison who wrote in his Virginia Resolution of 1798, asserting the core premise of all nullification laws, that State governments not only have the right to resist unconstitutional Federal acts, but that, in order to protect liberty, they are "duly bound to interpose" or stand between the Federal government and the people of their State.

Now it is my contention that 225 members of Congress, in defiance of the people of the several States for whom they respectfully represent, did in fact enact legislation at the federal government level that does indeed take from the liberties and rights of those several States and the citizens of them, in a manner that is directly in opposition to the Articles of Confederation, The Bill of Rights, and the Constitution of the United States of America.

There is no paragraph, sentence, or phrase contained in any of these three documents that grants the general government powers that inhibit the freedoms of the citizens of each of the several States.

Therefore, I submit that the Health Care Reform bill passed and signed by the President is null and void.

AIG: Too Big to Fail

I remember hearing that months ago. AIG also happens to be the corporation that holds the pension plans of Congress. So while my 401k and your tanked, those representatives we elected to look out for us, instead looked out only for themselves and we get the bill. Real nice.

Now we are being given a health care plan for all Americans, well almost all Americans. The members of the House and Senate along with the President are all exempt from the bill. It's not good enough for them, but it's good enough for us. First of all, that violates Constitutional law and they know it, but lawmakers operate under the Universal Commerce Code instead of the Constitution. Some people have mistaken believed that UCC trumps the Constitution.
