When members of Congress are sworn into office, they pledge to uphold the Constitution. On Sept. 1, I wrote to Rep. Christopher Murphy, D-5th District, and Sens. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., and Joseph Lieberman, I-Conn., to ask what Congress is authorized to do under Article I, Section 8. I asked them to explain what in that section allows Congress to pass health-care reform, cap-and-trade, stimulus, bailout legislation and take over private companies. None replied.
In October, I wrote again and asked why I had not received replies. Since we all know how fast they normally reply to tell us what a great job they are doing for us, I figured it was just an oversight, but now that I have not received a reply to my second letter, it is becoming obvious the Constitution is just something that keeps getting in the way of their Marxist agenda and that they have no intention of upholding it.
All three should be thrown out of office for their failure to honor their oath to protect and uphold a document that was written by giants among men such as Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, George Mason, John Rutledge and Roger Sherman. Dodd, Lieberman and Murphy can't hold a candle to them.
Their plan is for the government to control as much of our lives as possible, under the guise of taking care of us. Never mind freedom, individuality, personal choice and responsibility, and the free market that made this country exceptional. Congress wants total control of everything, and the power that goes with it, but since they always exclude themselves from the legislation they pass for the rest of us, I would like to propose a new constitutional amendment. If they have to abide by the same things we have to abide by, maybe their tune will change.
Amendment XXVIII: "Congress shall make no law that applies to any citizen of the United States that does not apply equally to all United States senators, representatives and federal employees, and Congress shall make no law that applies to any United States senator, representative or federal employee that does not apply equally to all citizens of the United States. All existing laws and regulations that do not meet these criteria shall be declared null and void immediately upon ratification of this amendment."
