Be a courageous
The primary reason for the loss of our constitutional freedoms is not Bush – or even Cheney. It is not the Supreme Court either, although all of these certainly played a big part in it.
The number one reason why America has become what no Founder would recognize anymore is because Congress has literally passed the buck.
Congress has passed the buck when it came to declaring war, giving the current president (and subsequent presidents) plenary authority to attack other nations without a formal declaration of war.
Congress has long ago passed the buck when it gave the "legal" monopoly to create money and control our money supply to a private conglomeration of international bankers - the Federal Reserve.
Congress has passed laws like the USA Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and not to forget, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. It has also promulgated and proposed the sixteenth amendment to the Constitution under which it claims authority to impose a tax on ordinary Americans' incomes.
Under laws passed by Congress, the First Amendment was first defaced and is now being shredded completely with the House passing the Home Grown Terrorism and Violent Radicalization Prevention Act that imposes criminal penalties for thought crimes!
We all know that any new president will bring exactly zero change - unless he happens to be Ron Paul. Yet, even Ron Paul cannot do much if he as to deal with a lobbyist-infested and controlled Congress as currently constituted.
The First Branch of Government
The founders made Congress the first and most powerful branch of government for a reason: it is the branch over which the People exercise the most control - at least in theory.
In order to evade and minimize that control, politicians and lobbyists have learned to turn the People against each other. Group against group, race against race, gender against gender, and ideology against ideology.
Each member of Congress promises each political, ideological, or economic faction one thing or the other to get them to vote him back into office - and they all play both sides against the middle.
The Two Party System
Other than rhetoric, there is little or no discernible difference between the two major political parties. Both are beholden to special interests, both steal our freedom and soil our Constitution and our most precious institutions..
The only palpable difference lies in the excuses each party uses for doing what they do. The Republican party appeals to it's constituents' misguided patriotism and desire for "national security", while the Democrat party appeals to its constituents' sense of misguided generosity to the "less fortunate" (with other people's hard-earned money, of course) and a misplaced faith in government's perceived ability to cure all social ills.
Both parties continue to bankrupt America by spending more than tax receipts and other revenues bring in - the Democrats on social programs, the Republicans on military expenses. Both allow the Federal Reserve to print the difference into existence, causing massive inflation that we are only now beginning to feel.
The result is always the same: Less freedom, privacy, and wealth for you and me, and more power, secrecy, and control to giant corporations and their political henchmen and prostitutes.
It is time for the People to let the political and lobbyist class "feel their pain" for a change.
How?
Meetup.com helped the Ron Paul Revolution explode, first all over the Internet, then all over the country. It will do the same for those who want their country back and who know they can only get it back by first firing every single incumbent in Congress.
Conservative Republicans were sold out after they "won" Congress in 1994 - by their very own leaders, including Newt Gingrich.
Democrat progressives were sold out after they thought the won Congress "back" in 2006 - by their very own party leadership, including Nancy Pelosi (who later refused to allow impeachment proceedings against Bush and Cheney.
Nothing ever changes until the People get together, forget their ideological differences, and simply and unceremoniously boot the lobby-infested bastards out.
We all disagree on what kind of society would be best for America - and we should. That's what makes this nation great: The fact that you have the absolute right to disagree.
In Order to Be Able to Disagree, We First Need to Be FREE!
To disagree - you need to be free.
That freedom is what the current - and all past Congresses for the last 100 years at least - have gradually but progressively taken away from the real masters of the house - We the People.
This is your last chance to take America back - once and for all!
All the Best,
