What is best politically seems to be the question. Right and wrong seems to be secondary. As the time slips by the tragedy of the assault against the capital building and those doing their job, softens against the demonstrators, and former president and the accomplices inside and outside the government. The republican party for the most part are misguiding the narrative to make it a political win instead of deciding whether it is a question of right and wrong. The issue being discussed has nothing to do the the intent of the framers of the Constitution.

It is clear to me that the framers of the Constitution wanted to make sure that the states could take over the federal government is the federal government did something contrary to the Constitution’s intent. However, there is nothing in the Constitution that says the government can go against the people’s voice.

The Constitution was written and ratified by the thirteen colonies which became states. The states gave certain powers to the central government with the condition that the states could come against the federal government with an armed militia. In other words if congress had not upheld the vote results the states could have forced the issue with force.

However the mob that raided the capital was incited by the president and his follower both in and out of the elected government. That was an attempt to overthrow the articles of our Constitution. There just is no other explanation. Therefore, if we allow this to go unpunished it will be the biggest mistake we have ever made.

If you agree with this idea send it on. We need more people like you that are genuinely afraid of loosing all we have died for and built.

I don’t think the Senators and Congressmen have ever read the Constitution of the United States and have no idea as to what they are swearing when they took office. It is the only explanation I can use to explain their obvious move toward sedition. To this writer there is little difference between the activity of the mob (seditionist) on the 6th and siding with the former president that incited the mob from any accountability.

Also we can’t forget the T-party republicans seemed to support this activity. This fact became more obvious as the Democrats moved closer to the impeachment of Trump. It seems obvious to me that the other republicans are moving simply to protect the guilty parties, which make them complacent with all the illegal activity being charged.

It seems that a some point in time the republicans and democrats should realize why they were sent to congress in the first place and simply do the work necessary to get us out of the mess Trump left.

How did the plug in our constitutional system happen? If I wanted to control our congress I would put a voting system in the my vote would mean more than the vote of common man. Since there are more common people than elite people, I would limit who can vote and make the vote of the collective count instead of the one citizen one vote principle. Therefore the Electoral Collage was formed. As the strength of the common person’s vote increased, other means of deception and vote control had to be used.

Controlling the vote was easy in the beginning and is used to some point even to this day. The Constitution changed the equal rights to mean white property oweners only, so the African American and white women votes were left out of the voting process. As time went by and all men voted the rich and powerful simply bought many votes from the less fortunate. Using this on the less fortunate and convincing the middle class or more fortunate they had more power than they really had, the Cartel largely controlled the votes and/or the candidates being elected.

As the voting public began to wake up to this plan the Cartel began to see they needed to refine the Republican Party therefore the Tea Party was formed within the Republican Party and had only one goal. This goal was to simply get in the way of any legislation that went against the Cartel. The method they used was simply. They just would not negotiate. They would not meet on a subject and if they did they just would not give a reason for their dismay of the subject.

In my 1994 book “The Repair and Upkeep of the United States Constitution”, I predicted the election of a African American in 2016. I missed that, but that was a good miss. Now we have a growing Latin American population. The only thing working for the elite population is the Electoral Collage and the Elite ability to redraw the political districts in each state. By accomplishing the redistricting the elite control the Electoral Collage.

What then can the voting public do? We have to understand that money controls this country. Therefore, we must stay informed. The Cartel says there is no climate change. Science knows better. The Cartel says the Corna19 virus is a killer. Science knows better. We have to stay informed These are just two of the many items the Cartel pushes. You have to decide is you want to serve the Cartel or the United States of America. Your choice.

I am a Christian and and citizen of these United States. I love my country but mostly I love my God who sent is Son into the world to make me riotous. I have read the United Sates Constitution and the bible which I read daily. I have concluded from my reading that the Constitution was originally designed the follow the bible. There were some variations even then that man stopped, but they are being rectified over these 200 years while other values have been diminished over the same time.

In the New Testament Jesus says we are to love one another. He also says we are to take care of the poor, feed the hungry, and treat everyone as you would have them treat you. By performing these acts and believing in Jesus the Christ plus following his teaching, we gain eternal life. If we don’t try to do these thing and don’t fully believe, we jeopardize the eternal life and forfeit many rewards we should have built for ourselves while living this part of our existence.

Today in the United States Congress our representatives have chosen to just believe in this life and what they can accumulate in it. They have demonstrated that the after life is not important. Of course the needs of the people they represent is not imporant to them. All I can do is to love and pray for them. Each of them will have to face God’s judgement alone.

Before the Tea Party took over the Republican Party there were debates of substance.  The Tea Party entered with their I’m right and you are wrong, and it immediately took hold in the Old Republican Party.

Today the Republican Party has become the Tea Party.  It has totally given in to the Tea Party.  The voters like me that once were part of the Republican Party became independent voters.

Now that the Tea Party’s methods have taken over the Republican Party i openly denounce the Tea party and pronounce shame on the Republican Party.  I am now in opposition to the so called Republican Party as their aim they have chosen to disregard the Constitution of the United States.

I choose the Constitution of the United States, to save this Republic.  What do you choose?

The question we must ask ourselves in these times of misinformation and professional interest in subjects facing our state and federal law makers is are the representatives representing the voters or are they representing the special interest group?

We are again in a heated discussion about assault weapons. The NRA has made it into a discussion about taking our guns away. One does not have to have a bachelor’s degree to know the difference in those two statements. What is important is safety. When I think about these statements I tend to take an extreme case scenario. Should we have no weapons, or can everyone have rocket launchers or 20 caliber machineguns?

It comes back to what is the best for the population. Our founders determined the people should have a need to protect themselves and hunt for food. The rocket launchers and machineguns come under the well-regulated militia clause.

The problem comes from the manufactures of arms and ammunition and sales companies that profit from those sales. It would cost them too much to pay all the enormous amounts of money paid to the thousands of law makers that are paid each time they run for office, so they started a public forum that collects money for that purpose.

Do you think our legislators should be controlled by such methods?

Our environment must be protected. Global warming is real.

Our infrastructure is something we must maintain.

Education is not an option any more it is necessary for all.

Our military should be strong. The question is will we do what we can, or will we do what we should do.

Is health care a right or an option?

Is it okay that we agree that the minimum wage remain at below the poverty level or should it be raised to a livable figure like $18 over the next ten years?
On each one plus many other times I could list, there are companies and large organizations controlling the vote of your representatives. The answer is obvious. We the people must pay for the election process once candidates qualify to run. At that point no outside money can be donated, not even their own. This should be from the local sheriff to the president of the United States.

Anything else we try will end up costing us more money that we can afford as the national obligation continues to rise.

One should realize along with voting is an obligation to stay reasonably current with the events happening around us every day.  The shooting in Florida that took seventeen lives is a good example.

The media will bring experts on for several days and we would consider that is enough, but how many people will actually write the Congressman or Senator and tell them how you feel.   Do we tell them that we know that the gun lobby has paid millions of dollars to the campaigns?  Do we tell them that we do not approve?  Do we tell them we expect them to protect us?

Supporting an organization that is fighting the gun lobby is not enough.  Personal action is what they listen to on a daily basis.  Supporting the organization that is fighting the gun lobby sounds very good, but is doesn’t get the job done.

White them today.

When no one is leading a group, the group will choose a leader.  That isn’t my idea.  It is the result of many studies.

For many years now the two parties have been leading us down a road of special interests.  During this time we have involved ourselves and a war that has expanded across the Middle East and various other counties.  Even then special interest group found a way to exploit the US citizens.

Since Congress has done nothing of substance as a united group of leaders to help the country over the last forty years by constantly fighting over yes or no rather than how we should proceed, we have confused the very citizens we should be trying to help.  Therefore the special interest groups saw an opportunity to run a candidate for president by appealing to the citizens that  the answer to all our problems are based in the government procedures such as intelligence, banking regulations, environment problems, social issues, and news media.  These are things that makes the United States of America different from the rest of the world.  These are things that we rely on to keep us safe and informed.

I am not saying this is a bad thing.  I think it will be a good thing if the country wakes up and decides that they need to encourage the Congress to take back control or replace those that are not doing their jobs.  Special interest groups have been controlling Congress for years and years.  A president cannot reform the country’s problems this a series of Presidential Orders.  To fix or repair some of these items is not a bad thing.  However, it needs the best minds in the country which should be in our Congress.

It is time for the Senators and Representatives to observe that activity go on in the White House, come together as leaders, and solve that problems facing this nation.  Republicans and Democrats should review what their individual philosophies get to be and try to negotiate with the other party to compromise  into solutions  acceptable to both parties.  If they can’t do that then they should be replaced.

Congress, together, has more power than the President.  However, if they are kept at each other’s  throats, they have less power.

I love this country and the people that voted for Trump love this country.  I am sure of that.  However, the people that votes for Clinton love this country too.  I am sure of that.

What do we need.  Responsible government!

I have read all the email, tweets, and media messages about hate.  I must say that I am amazed at school mates, friends, and business associates that are letting hate obscure their otherwise good judgement by saying they don’t like Hilary as if that is a reason to vote for Trump.  Their total argument they use just is not one that will work in our government.  This is a democracy that depends on two or more parties working together to do good things for this government.

Trump has alienated both  sides of Congress before he even takes office to the point that reason cannot prevail.  In such an atmosphere the tea party will get what they want which is to keep the government stagnated.

The best hope we had was Burney Sanders who at least had a plan.  He could not have accomplished everything including government financing of all elections, but he would have made some progress.

Hilary is the only one left that has a chance to govern our great nation.  Get hate out of your heart, and begin to think of the people of this nation and where we have gone with special interest paving they way downward.   What good is trickle down economics if their is to trickle.

Hilary at least knows what is going on.  Donald does not have a clue. Vote but think of your neighbors before you do.
