Let's have a constitutional showdown! Every Congressman swears an oath to "… preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

To a casual observer, these words could be interpreted to mean that laws enacted by Congress should be consistent with the requirements of the Constitution.

To the majority of Congress, these words mean something else, or have no meaning at all, because much of the legislation produced in Washington has no relationship at all with the Constitution.

If we are a nation founded upon the U.S. Constitution, then our laws should be constrained by the Constitution. If we no longer wish to be constrained by our Constitution, we should abandon it and fly by the seat of our congressional pants.

Let's have a constitutional showdown. Stand up for the Supreme Law of the Land and shock your fellow citizens into thinking with WND's "Legalize the Constitution!" magnetic bumper sticker. Arizona Representative John Shadegg has introduced the "Enumerated Powers Act" (H.R. 450), which requires that: "Each Act of Congress shall contain a concise and definite statement of the constitutional authority relied upon for the enactment of each portion of that Act." What a great idea! Every congressman who has sworn to "… preserve, protect and defend the Constitution" should eagerly endorse this concept – or be exposed as a blatant hypocrite.

If you read my in forum or go to the Ohio board you`ll see that I do both.I`ve also made a number of efforts to help Jim Robinson as per his post http://www.frerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2188527/posts by trying to establish contacts with other forums and help coordinate our efforts,they,like many here,are apathetic at best,or hostile to “outsiders”,but I`m not giving up,are you?If not then why not pitch in,we need people at our events as well as on line.

BTW,the tea parties are scheduled events and are not going on 24/7 so I guess this means you`ll be attending the next event scheduled near you,right?
