The Eagle's Cry
. . . when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The tyranny of our elected officials, much like the corpse flower that blooms once every 40 years, is now in full, stinky bloom. The architects of a health care "reform" bill whose details Nancy Pelosi says should be passed so we "can find out what's in it," are now considering passing a rule to say that they passed a bill, so they can have the cover of saying that they voted for the "rule," instead of voting for the bill. All of this in direct violation of The Constitution:
" Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the Senate, shall, before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it, with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to reconsider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two thirds of that House, it shall become a Law."
In addition to this flagrant violation of the Constitution, the Democrats have attached legislation for the government to take over the student loan program as a sweetener for the Democrats that are on the fence. This is legislation is presumed to have little chance of passing on its own. Attaching it to the healthcare bill will avoid debate, and control of student loans will allow government direction in a student's course of study and ultimately their career path. The payback of a student loan would depend on whether a person went into government work or the private sector. Guess which one is favored?
Our core principles state that we will support and defend the Constitution of the United States. This is what we must do - and the time to act is NOW!
Tea Party Patriots is organizing a March at the Capitol on Tuesday. Most of you will not be able to attend, but they have a comprehensive list of the Congress members and where they stand on the legislation. Scroll down on the page, you will find the members to contact yourself, then forward this to every person in your address book that lives in that Congress member's state to blast them as well. If you are in Allen Boyd's district, you may want to make the trip to 30 W. Government St., Panama City and look them in the eye.
The urgency of this mission cannot be overstated. |
