The end of our greatness

Long in coming has the vote last Saturday been. The masses who by and large do not pay taxes and therefore have no "Skin" in the game demanded that they get "Free" healthcare. Because of course it is a "Right." Do we not have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Well Saturday evening behind a veil of smoke and mirrors Congress passed the bill that takes away my liberty and my pursuit of happiness. All in the name of life. Well I say to you now, "Give me liberty or give me death!"

This is the most gross taking in U.S. history. It is time again fellow citizens to rise up and throw them all out of office. By that I mean vote against every incumbent regardless of party affilation. I know that this will not be an easy thing to do because "My" representatives really care for me! WRONG! the only thing my representatives care about is getting re-elected.

There are no term limits for Congress people and senators. Like wise there are none for the judicary. Only for the president. Why is that? Let's think back for a moment to when the constitution was ratified at the end of the 18th century. How long did the average person live back then? Into their 40's and 50's was the standard. Well now do to modern medicine people are living comfortably into thier 80's, 90's and 100+ years. That will all be changing with the passage of this bill.

We need to change the way our govnernment works in the only constitutionally approved way that really works best for "We, the People" We need a constitutional convention with a mandate of adding term limits to Congress and the Judicary. They imposed that on the office of the president because of FDR now it is time again to impose our will on Our government. Let's limit Congress to 12 years period. You can serve 2 terms in the senate, or 6 terms in the house or a combination of the 2 houses. The Judicary should also be limited to 15 years as a federal judge. But that is it. Life terms when the constitution was founded were a good idea then but now again with our longer lifespans the positions are being abused. In other words give up your power and let someone else have a go at running the country.

Now the 3 branches of government are separate and if someone wants to get elected or appointed in a separate branch of government after having been first in a different branch is fine. And of course if they would like to run for state or local office that is fine. But first they must give up the current office and the title to that office that they hold.

It is distressing to see more and more how once a person leaves office they still retain that title. Newt Gingrich is a prime example of this. He has been out of elected office for many years now but the talking heads on the news networks still refer to him as Mr. Speaker or Former Speaker. No! That is the beginning of Aristocracy! When you return to private life you are a private unelected citizen. The correct title for you then is Mr. or Mrs. or Miss or Ms. Not even "Your Honor."

To sum up they the "Elected officials" work for us. If we do not reign and check their power grabs they will take is all! Our best option is a constitutional convention.
God Bless America!
