Government Revision of History Debunked

/in /by

KrisAnne-Hall-smIn Orwellian fashion, Barack Obama is attempting to reinterpret history to justify the government’s dismantling Americans’ 4th Amendment protections. In a speech delivered regarding National Security Agency data collection programs, the President gave this twisted distortion of American history:

“At the dawn of our Republic, a small, secret surveillance committee, born out of the Sons of Liberty, was established in Boston. And the group’s members included Paul Revere. At night, they would patrol the streets, reporting any signs that the British were preparing raids against America’s early Patriots. Throughout American history, intelligence has helped secure our country and our freedoms.”

It is hard to believe that some speechwriter could so shamelessly coopt the fight for liberty to justify the modern surveillance state. On the other hand, given the progressive education that the majority of our citizens have been brainwashed to believe maybe he thought nobody would notice. What do you say we shed the light of TRUTH on this mind-manipulating rewrite of American history?

The Revolutionary War Was Not A Battle Between The British And Americans

It was a battle between British Colonists and their government. It was a battle to win independence from government intrusion, denial of liberty, and government control. It was a civil war, not a foreign war.

The Sons Of Liberty Were Birthed By Colonists Who Were Fed Up With The Government’s Intrusion Upon Their Privacy, Property And Denial Of Their Rights

It all began in February 1761 when James Otis, Jr., a former government attorney, brought a lawsuit against the government for its blatant violations of the colonists’ rights to privacy and security of property from warrantless searches and seizures. Otis blew the cover off the British tool called “Writs of Assistance.” These Writs were authority given to government agents, by law, that permitted these agents to arbitrarily demand access to colonists’ homes and businesses to search and seized anything the government agents determined to be suspicious.

Otis had been in charge of the execution of these warrantless searches and prosecutions that resulted from the seizures. He began to realize just how tyrannical these Writs were.   He called them, “The worst instruments of arbitrary power, the most destructive of English Liberty ever found in an English law book.” When Otis was approached by some colonists who were victims of this arbitrary power, he decided to resign his post and take up a legal battle to secure the Liberty of the Colonists.

The Colonists had a long established right to the security of their property and to due process rights. Otis was there to defend them.

Otis argued for five hours, fighting the government in their courtroom. He lost the legal fight but birthed a spirit of independence in the hearts and minds of the colonists. This is what John Adams said about that day in court.

“But Otis was a flame of fire! With a promptitude of classical allusions, a depth of research, a rapid summary of historical events and dates, a profusion of legal authorities, a prophetic glare of his eyes into (the future), and a rapid torrent of impetuous eloquence, he hurried away all before him…American Independence was then and there born. The seeds of Patriots and Heroes – to defend the vigorous youth, were then and there sown. Every man of an immense, crowded audience, appeared to me to go away, as I did, ready to take up arms against Writs of Assistance. Then, and there, was the first scene of the first act of opposition to the arbitrary claims of Great Britain – then and there, the child of Independence was born. In fifteen years, namely in 1776, he grew up to man hood, and declared himself free.” (John Adams to William Tudor 29 March 1817);

Also in that courtroom that day were Samuel Adams and many of the other men who would become the founders of our Constitutional Republic. Sam Adams left that courtroom inspired to form the Committees of Correspondence, a citizen coalition group whose purpose was to connect the Liberty minded Colonists and help educate each other on the TRUTH in the face of government media propaganda.

The Sons of Liberty were the action group birthed out of the inspired members of the Committees of Correspondence.

The Sons Of Liberty Were Not A Government Surveillance Program

As a matter of fact, they were quite the opposite. The Sons of Liberty held rallies and protests against the government’s denial of their rights to privacy and due process. The protests took the form of mock hangings and mock funeral processions of government agents.   They were engaged in ANTI-GOVERNMENT surveillance defending Liberty from a government who was refusing to abide by their Constitutional Charters.

Those Who Do Not Know Their History Are Doomed To Repeat Its Mistakes

If the progressives can rewrite our history to the point where Patriots fighting for Liberty become the very government oppressors they battled, we will become enslaved and never even know it. I am reminded of what Thomas Paine said about THEIR King in his dissertation called, “Common Sense”:

“He may accomplish by craft and subtlety in the long run, what he cannot do by force or violence in the short one.”

This blatant distortion of reality has only one purpose – To convince the masses to submit to a level of government control that can only be equated to tyrannical Kings and Kingdoms. Our founders did not accept such tyrannical abuse of their God-given rights and we do should not accept it now.

“I will to my dying day oppose, with all the powers and faculties God has given me, all the instruments of slavery on the one hand and villainy on the other as this Writs of Assistance is.”  James Otis, Jr.

What is the difference between this history and Obama’s? This one is based in fact and Obama’s is purely fiction.

Article V Conventions or Nullification ~ An ADULT Conversation

/in /by

Nullification or Article V conventions?

Article V Conventions and Nullification are NOT mutually exclusive, nor is one the magic pill for all of our federal problems. Each is a legitimate Constitutional solution, but each has a different aim and application. Each plan has its inherent dangers and there are legitimate concerns that should be considered and these dangers guarded against. They can be used together in the defense of Liberty as long as we understand each in its own context and consider the pitfalls involved. It must be noted that we are having this discussion because of the very fact that we have stepped so far out of the Constitutional boundaries given to this government that we are operating practically in a post-Constitutional America. At this point, it is unlikely that any solution will be perfect or without peril.

Two different animals

Article V Convention is a long term fix aimed at making corrections at the federal level. Nullification is an immediate defense at the state, local and individual level. Article V aims to make structural changes or further clarifications to the operations of the federal government and its relation to the states by amending the Constitution. Nullification aims to make no changes to the current Constitution, but is simply an assertion by the individual sovereign states and communities of the authority they already possess and a declaration of the limitations to federal power already defined by the Constitution. Article V convention in the current context seeks to fix what is assumed to be broken or lacking in the federal system and is to be used in the rarest of circumstances. Nullification, as intended by the framers, was to be a part of “republican maintenance,” whereby the central government was to be continually kept in check by its masters, the people through their states.

Both have their merits and their dangers. Let us take a look some concerns that the framers themselves noted. We should keep these things in mind so that we can work TOGETHER to defeat the common enemy…TYRANNY.

Some of the problems with Article V:

WHO are the delegates and what is their motivation?

According to James Madison in Federalist 49, one significant problem with conventions is – WHO will be the delegates? Madison discusses two options for choosing delegates: either through the Legislators or through popular vote of the people. In each case he believed there was cause for concern.

In modern terms, when delegates are chosen by the legislators, what we could see are appointments based upon party loyalty, power or popularity rather than upon Constitutional expertise and dedication to Liberty principles.  When the delegates are chosen by popular vote, typical election dynamics could determine the outcome.   Voters would vote based upon party popularity and perhaps even a “lesser of two evils” and the same corrupt politicians would now be “fixing” the very problems they created. Madison framed the outcome this way, “The same influence which had gained them an election into the legislature, would gain them a seat in the convention… They would consequently be parties to the very question to be decided by them.”

According to Madison, the real difficulty with delegates boils down to “motivation”.   What will be the motivating force behind the delegates and their amendments? Madison recognized that the only reason we have our current Constitution is that the framers had just come from a bloody revolution that kept the delegates focused upon LIBERTY and that forced them to set aside their party politics and personal motivations and it was still no easy path:

“We are to recollect that all the existing constitutions were formed in the midst of a danger which repressed the passions most unfriendly to order and concord; of an enthusiastic confidence of the people in their patriotic leaders, which stifled the ordinary diversity of opinions on great national questions; of a universal ardor for new and opposite forms, produced by a universal resentment and indignation against the antient government;” ~ James Madison Federalist 49

Madison seems to be telling us that without some overriding and unifying motivation, the convention would likely degrade into another Republican vs. Democrat drama. If we cannot get delegates that are properly constitutionally minded rather than driven by political gain and greed, this will never benefit us.

WHEN will it be done?

One practical difference between nullification and convention is the time each takes to implement. Any advocate of Article V must admit that this is a LONG TERM goal and not a quick fix. To call convention, choose delegates, agree on amendments, an Article V convention could take several years, possibly 5 to 10 years. Adding to the time frame is the Article V requirement of 3/4 ratification by the States.   That means EVERY AMENDMENT must be agreed upon (debated), individually, by 3/4 of the States to ratify.  During such a time frame, it would be prudent to use nullification to puts the brakes on at the state level until corrections (if truly needed) can be made at the federal level.

What will be the scope and impact?

Probably the most debated aspect is the notion of a “runaway convention.” Some say the ¾ ratification is a check on a runaway convention, that ¾ of the states would never go along with a total rewrite of the Constitution or the addition of harmful amendments. Of course, ¾ of the states DID ratify the very harmful 16th and 17th amendments. Tinkering with the foundation is always risky business. SO at the end of the day it may well come back to the main issue of the motivation, focus and education of the people and their delegates. What about the opposite of a runaway convention? What about a do-nothing convention? What if we do open-heart surgery on the Constitution for something as cosmetic as a balanced budget amendment?!

Nullification:

First, Nullification is a constitutional solution not because it is enumerated per se, but because the Constitution is a contract (technically a compact) among the States that created the federal government. The States are the parties to the Constitutional Contract and the federal government is the PRODUCT of that contract. Inherent in EVERY contract is the right of the parties to that contract to control the product of the contract. The States are the representatives of the people in this contract and have a DUTY to keep the federal government within its constitutional boundaries and thus protecting the rights of the people. It is inherent in the very nature of the Constituion. Nullification is that act of the PEOPLE through their States to keep the federal government within in its “limited and defined” boundaries and should be as regularly carried out as an oil change in your car. Madison states this principle again in Federalist 49:

“As the people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived; it seems strictly consonant to the republican theory, to recur to the same original authority, not only whenever it may be necessary to enlarge, diminish, or new-model the powers of government; but also whenever any one of the departments may commit encroachments on the chartered authorities of the others.”

This is not the forum for a full explanation of Nullification. If you are unfamiliar with this term or have in the past heard that it is not an option available to the States for a myriad of reasons, please take the time to read the FACTS about nullification before you give in to any one position. THIS LINK will get you started.

Fear of Nullification

The first problem with nullification is fear and lack of education. For some, nullification’s association (rightly or wrongly) with the Civil War and slavery (despite the fact that it was used to resist slavery) throws a veil of fear over the entire issue. So care must be taken not to add fuel to the fire of racial division because those who capitalize on such things will use it for their own design. Many mistruths and misconceptions regarding this Liberty solution must be overcome in order to even utilize this option. Retorts such as “the South lost the war,” “SCOTUS says no,” or “it’s the law of the land” are common among those ignorant of the concepts of State and local autonomy and nullification.

Even as nullification happens all around us today with, States legalizing marijuana and same sex marriage; states denying the federal government power to enforce the indefinite detention provisions of NDAA 2012 and Obamacare; local and state governments refusing to enforce federal gun restrictions, some will still say that nullification is an obscure and outdated concept. With more than 100 years of distorted history, overcoming fear and lack of education surrounding Nullification is no easy task.

Participation by the States:

Whereas Article V requires 3/4 of the States to ratify any amendment, Nullification can be achieved on a State by State basis. However, many staes that would at first glance be thought to be inclined to resist federal encroachment are often controlled by “federal supremacists,” those who believe that the federal government is superior to the states. Many state legislators do not understand the true nature of the states’ relationship to the federal government and they understand the states’ right and duty to interposition even less.

Federal Enforcement of Unconstitutional Acts

One more roadblock to nullification is the acquiescence to federal bullying and bribery. The dirty little secret is that the feds generally do not have the resources to enforce most of its dictates; it must co-opt state and local resources. This is done primarily through bullying and legalized bribery. The feds use state EPA, state DOE, state and local law enforcement elements to enforce its demands. In most cases the state and local entities comply. Without such compliance the federal dictates would be ineffective and in most cases unenforceable. The most obvious attempt at forced compliance will be through the withholding of federal funds. Any State who intends to maintain their supremacy over the federal government will have to be able to become self-sufficient in the face of federal funding withdrawal and brave leaders will have to be willing to call the bully’s bluff. In an arena where it’s all about the money and in a political system where politicians climb the ladder of power by giving and receiving favors this is also a significant obstacle.

Runaway Nullification

Sometimes opponents of nullification characterize the concept as “ignoring laws you don’t like.” The question at issue in nullification is not whether we like the law or not, the question is whether the law is constitutional or not. A possible danger is that states may wish to “nullify” inherent natural rights, such as those protected in the bill of rights from the abuse of the federal government. When such tyranny arises on the state level, the citizens must be ready to resist this tyranny as well, or else choose to live as slaves.

The REAL Solution lies within the operation of BOTH methods!

What Article V conventions cannot do to stop tyranny now, nullification can if successfully implemented accomplish with near immediate effect. Where Nullification ends, Article V provides a long term solution to strengthening the restraints on the federal government, if done by the right people for the right reasons in the right way. If we DO NOT engage in Nullification now, we will never survive as a republic long enough for the Article V Convention to have any hopes. If we just engage in Nullification and do not follow through with shoring up the established boundaries, I believe we will dissolve into individual sovereign States and the Republic will die.

We will not succeed if we are so caught up in our own causes that we have to defeat everyone else’s. That is egocentric and immature. Truth be told, we will not succeed without all the efforts of all the people working together in the defense of Liberty. We need nullification daily to maintain the Republic, yet if we continue to allow the foundation to erode, we may indeed need a convention to right the ship.

So let’s approach the defense of Liberty like grown-ups. Let’s work together instead of trying to punch each other in the eye to elevate ourselves.

I have confidence that when all is said and done, our future will look back and say, “Coming up with a new and better form of government was nearly impossible.   The original Constitution itself was not the problem; it was the ignorance of the people that lived under it.”

Government Exceptions to the 4th Amendment; Where are they?

/in /by

Judges these days seem just fine with allowing the government exceptions to the 4th Amendment. That doesn’t surprise me, I went to law school.

featured-380-4th-amendmentI know that law schools DO NOT teach the Constitution…they teach CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. Those are not the same things. Constitutional Law classes teach that men and women in black robes know more about the Constitution than the men who wrote it. They also teach that these same black-robed constitutional illiterates can rewrite the Constitution through precedent and opinions based on their erroneous law school education.

According to the 4th Amendment we are not free from ALL search and seizures, just UNREASONABLE ONES. But the term “unreasonable” is no mystery. It is clearly defined within the 4th Amendment.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

A careful review of the 4th Amendment tells us everything we need to know.

  • The right against unreasonable searches and seizures SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

The 2nd Amendment is NOT the only provision that contains these words. The government has been infringing upon the 2nd Amendment for decades, so why are we surprised that the 4th Amendment would get the same government application?

  • Only REASONABLE searches and seizures are allowed and are defined within the 4th Amendment:
  • With a WARRANT;
  • Based upon PROBABLE CAUSE;
  • Subject to DUE PROCESS REVIEW (oath or affirmation);
  • Particularly describing the PLACE to be search, AND
  • Particularly describing the PERSONS or THINGS to be seized.

There is clearly a 5 prong requirement as indicated by the word “AND”. You cannot have 4 out of 5 or 3 out of 5 and still have a reasonable search and seizure.

I challenge anyone to find within this language any other exception other than the 5 prong test. You can’t, because every exception that doesn’t exist within the 4th Amendment itself, is an exception created BY THE GOVERNMENT for the purpose of AIDING THE GOVERNMENT in their unreasonable searches and seizures.

There is no language in the 4th Amendment that says;

“no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized, UNLESS it is a matter of national security or the government has a compelling interest in safety or security to do otherwise.”

Yet, that is what our judges consistently do, being either illiterate or ignorant to the TRUE MEANING and APPLICATION of the 4th Amendment.

The 4th Amendment WAS NOT designed as a tool to be used by the GOVERNMENT to keep its people safe. It was a WARNING to the PEOPLE that if the government engages in ANY SEARCH AND SEIZURE outside these bounds, you have an EVIL AND OPPRESSIVE government.

Such warrantless searches were perpetrated upon our founders in the form of Writs of Assistance. James Otis, Jr., an attorney who took on the government to defeat these searches, called these searches “the worst instrument of arbitrary power, the most destructive of English liberty and the fundamental principles of law, that ever was found in an English law-book.” (Against Writs of Assistance, James Otis, Jr. February 24, 1761)

What has happened to Liberty in the last 252 years? We have allowed our FEAR to trump our LIBERTY. Our founders worked very hard to create a federal government that would be locked in a limited and defined box. We, their descendants, have turned around and handed the government the keys.

Exigent circumstances, roadside check points, national security, officer safety, are EXPANSIONS of government power; written by government paid lawyers, allowed by government paid judges, and used by government paid agents.

We have succumbed to the fear factor: Trading Liberty to keep us safe is the primary role of government. No, it is not. The primary role of government is NOT national security, it is, as the Constitution clearly mandates, Liberty Security, as in to “Preserve the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of freedom. It is the argument of tyrants. It is the creed of slaves.” No truer words were ever penned by William Pitt. However, here we are today accepting the government’s argument of necessity. Out of ignorance and arrogance, fueled by fear, we do not see they are revealing themselves to be tyrants and we are allowing OURSELVES to be slaves.

my-country-tisAfter learning that our 113th Congress voted to pass a budget that would actually increase spending with only a promise of cuts over the next 10 years, pushing our Posterity further into debt, I penned the words to this song. I give you permission to SHARE the audio and written lyrics with proper credit. Thank you for helping me share my heart.

My country ’tis of thee,

Sweet land of Economy,

Of thee I sing.

Land where NSA does spy!

Land where our freedom died!

From Congressmen who lied,

Let Budgets Ring.

 

My native country thee,

Land of the shopping spree,

Thy revenue I love.

I love thy welfare fills,

They dark green fiat bills;

My heart with rapture fills

For the federal gov.

 

Let free stuff swell the breeze,

And fall from all the trees

Sweet Congress song.

Let socialists awake;

Let all that breathe partake;

Let Marxists their silence break,

Servitude prolong.

 

Our father’s God to, Thee,

Author of Liberty,

To Thee we sing.

When will our land be bright

With freedom’s holy light;

Purged from this soulless blight,

Great God, our King!

 

My only closing words are not my own, but those of Samuel Adams.

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

Impeachment…What Will It Take?

/in /by

impeach!

Or WHY Obama will never be impeached.

Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va) is giving a speech on the House floor regarding Benghazi and he is REALLY irritating me.

Do you want to know some TRUTH?

I watched the Fast & Furious Hearings and I can GUARTANTEE you three things I have learned from Congressional Hearings… GUARANTEE!!!

1.  We DID NOT see all the evidence Congress holds against Eric Holder, Hilary Clinton, or Obama.  That is a prosecutorial FACT.

2.  Of the evidence that WE DID SEE, if they had that evidence against ME, I would not be getting a “finger wagging” by Congress; I would be UNDER a federal prison.

If you aid and abet a murder in this country, that makes you a principle to that murder.  When you are a principle to a murder, you are guilty of the murder just as if you had pulled the trigger itself.  The evidence did show, without a doubt, that Eric Holder is a murder!

3.  NO Congressional Hearing will EVER result in anything legal or constructive.  They are just shows for the American people to make us THINK our representatives are doing something.  THEY ARE NOT AND HERE IS WHY:

Eric Holder was found in Contempt as a result of those hearings.  Not much, but it is a really big deal, actually.  BECAUSE:

~ Article 2 Section 4 of the Constitution reads: 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.

Eric Holder is a CIVIL OFFICER Eric Holder was found guilty of CONTEMPT which is a MISDEMEANOR Article 2 Section 4 says he SHALL BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE!

That means there is no decision to be made.  That word “SHALL” means IT MUST BE DONE, no choices, no options.

So if Congress will continue to IGNORE a Constitutional REQUIREMENT to impeach Eric Holder, They will continue to ignore the Constitution in every other aspect and we will continue to have an OUT OF CONTROL Executive Branch.

Our Checks have failed and Congress lacks the moral fortitude to engage in any balancing.

OBAMA WILL NEVER BE IMPEACHED BECAUSE CONGRESS CANNOT EVEN IMPEACH HOLDER WHEN THE CONSTITUTION DEMANDS IT.

So sick of this Pusillanimous Congress.  So sick of weak, ineffectual and immoral men.  Weeping for our future, ashamed of my generation.  We will be a “dirty word” coming out of the mouths of future generations unless we DO SOMETHING miraculous…NOW.

What If There Is Another Shutdown?

/in /by

The shutdown showdown seemed like a wild train ride and the political aftermath is only just picking up steam.  As the RINO establishment turns against the conservatives and each side sets its sights on February 2014, I think it is important to be clear about what the faithful few were actually fighting for and against during the shutdown showdown.  Let me reset the framework in the simplest possible terms once more, so that we don’t forget the essentials.

Our federal government, created by the States in 1787 was created to be a limited and defined federal government.  Not my words, but the words of the people who created it; easily researchable and verifiable.  James Madison (called the Father of the Constitution) said in Fed. Papers 45 that “the powers (not rights) DELEGATED (term repeated in the 10th A) to the federal government are FEW & DEFINED and those that REMAIN in the States are NUMEROUS & INDEFINITE.”  Madison then tells us what those few powers delegated to the feds are…he calls them “external objects” meaning the feds are limited essentially to FOREIGN affairs and then he further clarifies by saying they are specifically, “war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce.” HEALTH INSURANCE not falling in one of these categories is NOT a power that has been delegated to the federal government by the States. One might invoke the General Welfare Clause, etc. but that would be a misapplication of the Constitution.  For brevity sake, I will simply refer you to a full analysis on this issue, if you are inclined to be further educated on the proper application of the General Welfare Clause as given again by James Madison by reading this article “The General Welfar Clause, Justification for Obamacare?”

Since healthcare is not a delegated power, its regulation by the central government is an unconstitutional act.  Alexander Hamilton clarified in Fed. 78, that “no legislative act contrary to the Constitution can be valid.”  Therefore ACA is unconstitutional.  One may now say, but the Supreme Court has declared it Constitutional therefore it is.  Fortunately, that is also an improper placement of power in the hands of the Supreme Court.  For brevity sake, I will refer you to a full analysis on this topic for further education in my “Letter to Tx Attorney General Greg Abbot”

Now, it is hardly disputed that the current govt. does not have the funding to operate ACA as it is written and with all the technical difficulties it is getting more and more expensive everyday.  Even the proponents cannot disclaim that fact and that is why we need to increase our borrowing limit to sustain it.  Any economist with any credibility will admit that robbing Peter to pay Paul is a definite path to destruction.  It is also clear that the “law” which has been unilaterally altered by the President numerous times, isn’t even the “law” that the Congress passed and SCOTUS ruled on.  It is also becoming clear to consumers as they see the increases in their premiums, that there is nothing “affordable” about the Affordable Care Act.

However, one of the biggest problems with ACA is NOT its economic impact, but the door it opens to federal intrusion.  The problem stems from the application of a principle created by the Supreme Court called “significant governmental interest” or “compelling governmental interest”.  What this doctrine supposes is that if the government has a “significant or compelling interest” in something, that interest then trumps our Rights.  It is how 134 Republicans can vote that the 4th Amendment doesn’t apply to the federal government when they have a “national security” interest.  National security becomes that “compelling interest” that overrides our 4th Amendment Right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.

ACA gives the federal government a “compelling interest” in our healthcare by providing our health insurance.  (NOTE: ACA is not providing HealthCare it is providing health insurance.  Insurance doesn’t guarantee care; we should know that by now.)  With a “compelling interest” in our health, the federal government can now insert itself into every aspect of our daily lives, trumping any right or freedom we might possess.  With a “compelling interest” in our healthcare, we have placed in the hands of the government a “compelling interest” in our health.  The situation of our health directly impacts our healthcare.  With a “compelling interest” in our health, the government could potentially regulate where we live, by claiming we live too far from a hospital or appropriate healthcare facility, thus preventing their ability to provide adequate healthcare and creating too great of a financial burden on our healthcare system.  With this “compelling interest” the government can also claim the authority to tell us what we can and cannot eat, making certain foods ILLEGAL because they are not regulated and approved by the government as “healthy”.  (Remember Bloomberg’s war on soft drinks? Put that on the national level.)  Now what you have is every aspect of our daily lives regulated by the federal government based upon a “compelling governmental interest”.  That is not Liberty; that is slavery.

One of the means to check such federal overreach was placed in Article 1 section 7 of the Constitution and the founder’s explanation of the powers and purposes of those powers vested in the House of Representatives.  This appears to have been the basis for the shutdown.  Of course it did not work, because we no longer operate by the Constitution.  Here is how it is supposed to work, Article 1 section 7 of the Constitution reads:

“All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.” (emphasis mine)

Since the Supreme Court has declared ACA a tax, its funding must originate in the House. The Senate “may” propose amendments, but that is not a requirement.  So, the House has the sole authority to fund ACA and the sole authority to defund ACA.  Although the Senate may not like it, they technically have no Constitutional say in the matter.  James Madison tells us exactly why:

“The House of Representatives cannot only refuse, but they alone can propose, the supplies requisite for the support of government. They, in a word, hold the purse that powerful instrument by which we behold, in the history of the British Constitution, an infant and humble representation of the people gradually enlarging the sphere of its activity and importance, and finally reducing, as far as it seems to have wished, all the overgrown prerogatives of the other branches of the government. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure.” Fed. 58. (emphasis mine)

Further clarity of intent comes from a discussion between Alexander White and James Madison, both members of the US House representing the State of Virginia:

Mr. White: “The Constitution, having authorized the House of Representatives alone to originate money bills, places an important trust in our hands, which, as their protectors, we ought not to part with. I do not mean to imply that the Senate are less to be trusted than this house; but the Constitution, no doubt for wise purposes, has given the immediate representatives of the people a control over the whole government in this particular, which, for their interest, they ought not to let out of their hands.”

Mr. Madison: “The Constitution places the power in the House of originating money bills. The principal reason why the Constitution had made this distinction was, because they were chosen by the people, and supposed to be the best acquainted with their interest and ability.”

The purse is a power placed in the hands of the House on purpose and for a purpose.  It is, in itself, an important check on government power; reigns in the hands of the people to control the spending and growth of government.  Every time the House fails to maintain this check; every time the House passes a Continuing Resolution instead of a Budget, that vital check fails and the House relinquishes, what our framers thought to be, one of the most important powers held in trust for the people.

This is how our government is supposed to work.  What we witnessed during the opening weeks of October, 2013 is a result of years of the erosion and surrendering of strict Constitutional processes.  By using the so-called continuing resolutions rather than engaging in the legitimate budget process, Congress has sidestepped the Constitution.  One cannot claim to be in a debate about the budget if there is no budget, and a CR is not a budget.  However, the depth of ignorance as to what the Constitutional mechanisms are, and more importantly, why we have them, has allowed our government to be hijacked by those who would destroy the nation by driving us over the cliff of debt to support a welfare state.  The ignorant populace, driven by media misinformation and propaganda, cheers this runaway train and labels those who desperately sought to return our nation to fiscal sanity as reckless.  I will tell you what is reckless, trying to drive this freight train completely blind, ignoring the operator’s manual while our children are tied to the tracks.  America this train is out of control, bandits are at the levers and the builders are doubtless scratching their heads wondering why we are bent on our own destruction.  Remember this in the coming months as liberal Dems and RINO Republicans try to convince the voters that a ride on their crazy train is the way to go.

The Symptom of Disease & Addiction ~ Govt. Shutdown

/in /by

Audio Clip of The KrisAnne Hall Show discussing this topic below

In the midst of today’s shutdown hysteria we should be aware that you can’t employ a cure until you properly diagnose the disease. This shutdown meltdown should awaken us to the REAL virus infecting America today…and the treatment regimen that needs to be employed.

Dear patient, does the thought of the federal government shutdown scare you? Are you worried about how you will eat, how you will have clothes, how you will keep your home if this federal government shutdown continues? Are you afraid that the economy will collapse, due to the federal government shutdown? If that is true, then you are not living in a Republic, you are not enjoying the “Blessings of Liberty” our Constitution was designed to protect. These symptoms indicate that you are a slave. That is the illness that grips you.

If a federal shutdown can stall or even crash the economy, as some suggest then we are suffering from massive and potentially fatal case of DEPENDENCY. My friends,that is NOT a republic. That is a KINGDOM. That is TYRANNY!

The real problem is NOT a government shutdown, NOT partisanship, NOT political dysfunction. The real problem is ADDICTION. We were not created that way. That is NOT THE NATURE OF A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. Our states ratified a constitution that created a ‘limited & defined’ federal government. The purpose of a ‘limited & defined’ federal government was to make sure we are a republic & not a kingdom. When the people fail to keep the government under control, the republic is lost.

The symptoms are clear. We are addicted to the federal government and it has spread like a virus beyond its Constitutional boundaries. It’s time for treatment and that treatment is not the finger-pointing and political gamesmanship that we are witnessing. We must break free from federal dependency. We must put federal government back in its place. We must once again bind and chain the federal government to the limitation of our Constitution. When the very lives and prosperity depend upon the operation of the federal government we no longer have a limited and defined government. What we have is a slave master that is capable of withholding our sustenance from time to time in order to ensure complete submission.

The Proper Placement of the Power is in the States

We should be thankful that we have this opportunity to diagnose the extent of our illness. We have been living as heroin addicts, addicted to federal dependency for far too long. Recovering from an addiction is never easy and almost always painful, but the alternative of remaining a sick and addicted body is far worse and will lead to total destruction. Our solution is to start TODAY turning the functions that should be done by the States back to the States. One by one we must dissolve these unconstitutional federal agencies. One by one we must rebuild our States to their proper positions. The citizen must also regain his health by saving, by staying out of the crackhouse of debt – break the dependency and the veracious and irresponsible consumption of every addicting enticement.

The State governments possess inherent advantages, which will ever give them an influence and ascendancy over the National Government, and will for ever preclude the possibility of federal encroachments. That their liberties, indeed, can be subverted by the federal head, is repugnant to every rule of political calculation. -Alexander Hamilton, speech to the New York Ratifying Convention, June 17, 1788

But as the plan of the convention aims only at a partial union or consolidation, the State governments would clearly retain all the rights of sovereignty which they before had, and which were not, by that act, EXCLUSIVELY delegated to the United States. -Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 32, January 3, 1788

The federal drug dealers are not going to like this. They are going to fight a bloody fight to maintain their power and control over us. But the only freedom from slavery is self-sufficiency. The only way to health is to cut the strings and stand on your own two feet. Here’s to good health America.
