The countrys’ true patriots need some sort of structure to belong to… everybody is spread out too much with all the different groups.

I am most interested in any and every “citizen” discussion about correcting unconstitutionality. I went to the resistent.com site and found talking to or at me rather than a discussion. I am not at all interested in rehashing rehashed News, or discussions about Obama. The President cannot make any law and it is Lawmakers the Citizenry must vote out of office if this Republic is to be reestablished.

However, I will accept an invite to join any group that is talking about “solutions”, real or imagined. ahampton@suddenlink.net

At an ever growing state and national level, we hope to do some good. Please visit the site, and get the word out. We don’t have much time to waste.

But, seems to me a most important point is missing in political rhetoric – there is no King in the USA, one person cannot make any law. I think all the hoopla about electing a President every four years is purposely misleading Voters away from electing the most important People, Lawmakers and every two years (Congressmen). Voters do not directly elect a President but voters do directly elect Congressmen.

Usually all of Congress will vote in favor of some unconstitutional legislation, and you’ll see 1 opposed. That’s usually Ron Paul. while not perfect, he’s great on most issues, including the one that you’re referring to – Congressional raises.

In fact, Dr Paul introduced legislation to freeze raises for congress. Would the rest support it? I surely doubt it.

I have to agree with Allan. You guys have been manipulating the document you claim to support. In the true faith and intention of said document, you guys are all in violation, based simply upon tenure. Today people use politics as a career choice. Some say to be of service, but fact is it is one of the cushiest and personally enriching jobs in the good Ole USA.

Did you not just vote or accept a raise? For what? You all are as guilty of mismanagement and looking the other way as any fat-cat on Wall St. or anyone that sits on a board or serves as CEO of the welfare recipient banks and financial institutions.

By what method, how, no can be enforced is very limited.

It is constitutionally incorrect to blame any one person including the President for government unconstitutionality or atrocities. Article I, Section 1, clearly articulates the President cannot make any law, only Congress is delegated the power to legislate (make federal law). Then consider Article I, Section 7, all Bills (purposed legislation) to raise revenue (money) must start in the House.

Unconstitutionality will continue as long as the People (Voters) continue to reelect Lawmakers that dishonor the Constitution’s Oath of Office, especially Lawmakers in the House of Congress every two years.
