Should It Prevail?

On September 17, 1787, the United States Constitution was completed in Philadelphia, Pa. On March 4, 1789, the government began operations under the Constitution. So....the document has existed for two hundred, twenty-two years; we Americans have lived under it's provisions for the last two hundred and twenty years!

Should this document continue to govern America and Americans? The times and circumstances have changed greatly since those old, dead guys argued about it, compromised on it's provisions and wrote it.

• Unequivocally, YES! The Constitution has been amended over it's life to accomodate the changes in Americans' needs and desires; sure, it doesn't address every need of every citizen; it recognizes the greatest benefit to the greatest number! Never in it's history has the Constitution been as completely ignored as it has in this century! Since the beginning of the twentieth-century, each administrations' presidents and the totality of the Congress have continued to ignore it's provisions.
• President George H.W. Bush is quoted: "I didn't have to get permission from some old goat in the United States Congress to kick Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait." Mister Bush failed to realize or remember that the Congress declares war, usually at the request of the sitting president.
• The same requirement applies to President George W. Bush as well.
• In but one instance of the obama administration's ignoring the Constitution, the thirty-five-plus appointed"czars" are patently unconstitutional. These czars are in effect are "sub-dictators," bringing their individual socialist views into play against the citizenry. The constitution provides that political appointees be approved with the advise and consent of the United States Senate. The czars are not!!
• The 534 members of the Congress [remember, Phatt Kennedy went to answer for Mary Jo Kopechne] have continually ignored the desires of their constituencies. Since the current marxist administration came into power, practically everything the congress and the administration have attempted, has had to be passed through the congress "by last Friday!!" Everything is an emergency; America will fail if these aren't enacted!! They continually push legislation through in the "dead-of-night" so the people have no idea of what they'll be subjected to next. The marxists continue to "flood the system" with this emergency legislation to confuse the public; to put so much on the "American plate" that the constituency can only focus on those issues important to them--to the detriment of all the others!!
• Now is the time to call EVERYONE IN WASHINGTON to task for their malfeasance in office!! Call them every day!! Write them every day!! Email them every day!! Discuss their ineptitude with friends, EVERY DAY!!

....Speaking Of "Ignoring Their Constituencies...."

For months now, local [Rochester, N.Y.] talkshow host-Bob Lounsberry has been trying to get Rep Louise McIntosh Rodham Slaughter as a guest on his daily show. Seems Ms Slaughter is: unavailable; on the house floor; cruising around in her $900/month, taxpayer-leased Buick; Yada,Yada.....

• Now we find out that on 09/02/009, rather than speak before a majority of her constituents, she opts to talk with Ron Reagan on AirAmerica-with his listenership of about 4-dozen citizens... nationwide!!
• Now we find out that on 08/07/009, rather than speak before a majority of her constituents, she opted to speak before WXXI cameras on FluffyCare. WXXI has about the same viewership as Ron Reagan's listenership!!

Geeze, Louise!!! I for one, am going to help a majority of the votership "hand you your ass on a silver platter," come November, 2010!!

...An Email I Sent-You Should Too....

[I sent the below email to everyone in my address book-You should do the same!!!]

Good Morning, Folks; Today, 09/09/2009-Senator Harry Reid [d-Nv] is attempting to envoke a vote of cloiture on the Senate's consideration of Cass Sunstein, who is obama's nominee to be the "regulatory czar." Everyone in America should call both of their senators to insist that this confirmation NOT BE APPROVED!!Sunstein is a guy who advocates:

A. Complete federal control of the internet, to the point that the Executive Branch could prevent private networks' and individuals' access. B. The government should endorse actions of persons attempting to act on behalf of animals, "to bring private suits to ensure that anti-cruelty and related laws are actually enforced. If a farm is treating horses cruelly ... a suit could be brought, on behalf of those animals ...." C. That there should be extensive regulation of the use of animals in entertainment, in scientific experiments and in agriculture and that "there is a strong argument, in principle, for bans on many current uses of animals." D. Meat-eating would be acceptable if decent treatment is given to the animals used for food." E. He also has some bizarre rules and regulations in store for those of us who are of the two-legged variety as well. And as you might have guessed , they dovetail perfectly with the "toss-the-seniors-overboard" philosophy of his benefactor, Barack Obama. F. Sunstein has proposed that, wherever the effectiveness of a policy is examined using a Cost/Benefit Analysis, government agencies should adopt a standard that takes into account a person's age. This standard he readily admits "would likely result in significantly lower benefits calculations for elderly people, and significantly higher benefits calculations for children."

And........there's even more here: http;//andersonvalleypost.com/news/2009/sep/08/A-new-regulatory-czar/ TODAY, I-as a concerned citizen-will call "Chuckie-Cheese" Schumer, New York's senatorial DUNCE-IN-CHARGE and his junior-senator-in-training, Kirsten Gillibrand and demand that this confirmation not take place!!! You should call yours as well!!! Joe Hart, Rochester, N.Y.

Til Nex'Time....
