The Politics of the Trayvon Martin Case

The political class seems to want to use the Trayvon Martin case to make points with the public by stressing the race card but it is not about race. We must understand that there are serious issues with this case. None of which that have to do with George Zimmerman and there are serious questions that need to be asked from the federal, state and local level. The question however is how does this all serve the pursuit of justice and having a properly functioning judicial system.

Recycled Republicans

Aren’t you tired of the same old recycled candidates! I read or heard how the GOP is thinking of promoting Jeb Bush for President in 2016. I mean are you kidding me? If the Republicans give us another Bush I guarantee that the GOP will find themselves locked out of the White House for a generation. They certainly can’t be that stupid. At one time the Republicans stood for liberty. Where did they go wrong! The Republicans are so out of whack that in Nevada the GOP is suing because “None of the Above” is going to be an option on the ballot. They are so afraid of change and their feet are so stuck in the establishment tyranny mud that they’re afraid of people expressing their displeasure by voting for “None of the Above. ” Good grief!

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

JC sits in for KrisAnne for the 3rd and last day. One of the basic premises of our judicial system is that all defendants are innocent until proven guilty. Defendants in a court of law don’t have to prove anything. The burden of proof totally relies on the shoulders of the prosecution, yet it would seem that many people have forgotten this basic concept and high profile trials such as the George Zimmerman trial make it painfully clear how widely ignorant many people are about this.

Who Has Legislative Powers?

JC stands in for KrisAnne today and begins the day talking about Obama Care and how it had been announced today that certain aspects of the law were not going to be implemented. However, the Congress is not pleased but what’s funny is how house member Phil Roe from Tn. (a republican by the way) complained about how the Obama administration shouldn’t be allowed to bypass the law on a whim! Presidents don’t have the authority to pick and choose what laws they choose to follow and no has called for the Congressional research service to conduct an investigation. Should we hold our breath? Not advisable. Maybe we should just send him a pocket version of the Constitution.

3rd Amendment

KrisAnnes husband JC sits in for KrisAnne in todays show and covers the news which includes a story from Henderson, NV about how the police forcefully setup surveillance in someones  home so that they could conduct an investigation on someone else! Incredible! The homeowner refused but was forced to comply and then when he attempted to leave was arrested and put in jail. What’s next? Makes you wonder doesn’t it?

Impeach Eric Holder~Open Letter To Congress

Several members of the House of Representatives are moving forward with efforts to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder. We MUST help them in this effort.

As Reported by the Huffington Post, Congressman Ted Yoho met with his constituents in Florida:

“It’s to get him out of office — impeachment,” said Yoho, who was a large-animal veterinarian before winning election last year. “It will probably be when we get back in [Washington]. It will be before the end of the year. This will go to the speaker and the speaker will decide if it comes up or not.”

Yoho’s chief of staff, Cat Cammack, said the congressman wants Holder fired for issues that include the Fast and Furious sting operation conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives that left federal agents’ weapons in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. One of the guns was found at the 2010 scene of a Border Patrol agent’s killing.

If we want the Constitution to be defended, if we want justice to be served, we MUST help these Representatives through grass roots pressure.

In an effort to help us help Mr. Yoho and those standing with him, I have crafted this Open Letter. We can only do this if EVERYONE will pitch in. We MUST make this happen. If we do not there will be consequences.

These consequences are outline in the letter. Please read the letter and then share it many times over with your representative and others in the House. We CAN do this. We CAN enforce the Constitution. But we MUST take action. We CANNOT sit idly by.

Congressman,

Article 1, section 2, clause 5 makes it clear that impeachment rests in the House of Representatives. It is a clear obligation placed upon the house to maintain not only the integrity of the government, the separation of powers, but also the confidence of the people in their government.

George Mason remarked: “No point is of more importance than that the right of impeachment should be continued. Shall any man be above Justice?”

Your responsibility to the people of this country is great. That is why we are asking you to support your fellow Representatives in their efforts to impeach Attorney General Eric Holder for his conduct in Operation Fast & Furious, along with any other activity that support such efforts.

Article 2, section 4 of the Constitution leaves no choice for the House in this matter. This clause makes it clear that AG Eric Holder must be impeached.

The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

 

As you know, as a result of the Fast & Furious hearings, AG Eric Holder was found in contempt by this body. Pursuant to Article 2 section 4, that finding requires the House to impeach Eric Holder, e.g. Eric Holder is a civil officer, contempt is a misdemeanor, and this clause requires impeachment, (“shall be impeached).

We are not concerned at this moment whether the Senate will convict Eric Holder. We do not ask you to speculate on the actions of the Senate, we only ask you to do the job we hired you to do; follow the Constitution.

There will be consequences for your failure to do so. James Iredell identified those consequences during the North Carolina Ratifying Convention:

“A man in public office who knows that there is no tribunal to punish him, may be ready to deviate from his duty; but if he knows there is a tribunal for that purpose, although he may be a man of no principle, the very terror of punishment will perhaps deter him.”

Failure to impeach will send a clear message to AG Eric Holder and other civil officers that they are above the law and have no limits upon their desires no matter how malignant or pernicious. Edmund J. Randolph warned during the Constitutional Convention that “should no regular punishment be provided [speaking of impeachment], it will be irregularly inflicted by tumults & insurrections.”

Stand in honor of your Oath. Stand in honor of this Republic. Stand in honor of your duty to “preserve the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”   Stand with your fellow Representatives in this effort to right this injustice to the Constitution and to the People.

Just as the Constitution requires this action, we demand this of you.

Sincerely,

Declaration of Independence

The Declaration of Independence is the last of documents in the genealogy of our independence. The first being the 1100 Charter of Liberty, the 2nd being the Magna Carto of 1215, the Petition of Rights of 1628, the Grand Remonstrance of 1641 and the English Bill of Rights of 1689. All of these led to the 6th document in the roots of liberty, the Declaration of Independence and this is the topic of this Podcast. You do not want to miss this episode.

Roots of Liberty Part 3

Moving on in your independence and Roots of Liberty series we find ourselves in 1612  and the free spending King Charles who liked to to romp around Europe soaking up mirth and merriment at his leisure, incurring debt and paying that debt with the peoples money. Parliament finally got fed up and told the King they were going to refuse to implement new taxes so the King being King imposed the taxes anyway, but called it a “Forced Loan.” Not much different from what we have today when Obama uses the power of Executive Order to go around Congress. But 7 Knights from the Kings court decided not to comply because they knew it was taxation without representation and not lawful.

Roots of Liberty Part 2

This is part 2 in the Roots of Liberty series.  The 1100 Charter of Liberty Henry made a promise that Kings will no longer be evil and oppressive and vowed to end all oppressive practices. He mentions the inheritance tax as evil and oppressive. He also equates that men who make the laws consider themselves above the law that it too is evil and oppressive. So ironically we have a king in 1100 that had a better understanding of liberty than Congress or most of our politicians and if you trade liberty for security then you are saying that it’s ok for the NSA to violate the law. This was yesterdays Podcast and today moving on from King Henry I to John (one of the most evil and oppressive Kings) the people still had King Henry I promise, however in spite of the promise the people still had a problem.

Roots of Liberty Part 1

Reconnect with your sense of independence. If you don’t reconnect with your independence and help others do the same than you just might find yourself being randomly searched as you walk down the street as recently happened in Chicago. Or you might find yourself spending a night in jail like a university of Virginia student did. She went to the grocery store to buy some items for a sorority event and as she was leaving, unidentified men jumped on her car brandishing guns, breaking windows and in her terror she called 911. She pulled out of the parking lot and then stopped when police showed up. She thought she was being helped but she was  not being attacked by thugs, she was being attacked by ATF agents in plain clothes with no identifying marks of any kind. We must reconnect with our independence. and if we don’t reconnect on a fundamental level than we’ll never be grounded enough to restore a 1776 level of independence and you could be the next person put in jail for going to the grocery store. Independence was not designed or born in 1776. It was actually given birth in 1100. So listen in and reconnect.
