As America watches our country being fundamentally transformed by President Obama, we have grown tired of waiting for Congress to do something to stop him.
So long as Harry Reid and the Democrats control the Senate and John Boehner is Speaker of the House, we can expect nothing more than heated rhetoric, promises and empty threats.
Since Congress will do nothing of substance to end Obamas progressive liberal agenda, it falls to the states and the people to stop Obama.

“As America watches our country being fundamentally transformed by President Obama, we have grown tired of waiting for Congress to do something to stop him.”
I’m tired of waiting on the states to do something about it. “Being” transformed nothing. America has been transformed. The states are too late. Those in power had wealth doled out to them through redistribution, just enough to keep them pacified. States have failed. This is solely up to the people. We need to occupy our state capitals until they completely reject DC rule. I don’t really care what the constitution says about this and that. I know I have inalienable right.
The article didn't mention the following option which is arguably the most practical and expedient way to clean up DC. If patriots and former Obama supporters can organize to win 2/3 control of both Houses of Congress in the 2014 elections, then Congress will be positioned as follows.
Congress will have the power, under the Constitution's Clause 2 of Section 7 of Article I, to override presidential votes. This means that a Congress controlled by conservative supermajority will be able to repeal constitutionally indefensible Obamacare Democratcare, for example, without Obama's signature.
Note that Congress has used its power to override presidential vetoes as recently as Bushes 41 & 43, and also with Clinton.
