'We The People': NPR Readers Would Ratify Four New Amendments
National Progressive Radio ^ | December 20th | Debra Rosenberg

Posted on 12/24/2011 7:53:36 PM PST by Halfmanhalfamazing

In "Reconstituting The Constitution: How To Rewrite It," we invited readers to share their own thoughts on how we might change the founding document for 2011. Now the people have spoken.

As of Dec. 20, you've chosen to abolish the Electoral College, to limit campaign contributions from corporations, to deny corporations the rights of citizens and to prohibit members of Congress from lobbying once they leave office. In our un-scientific sampling, "ratification" required the support of two-thirds of voters. (You can still add your selections here.)

All three basically point toward Mob Rule. Completely goes against the idea of the Republic which the Founders gave to us.

What about one limiting the total amount of federal codes down to no more than 5,000 pages with a limit of 250 words per page. And that includes ALL rules and regulations. And if you want to add another law you must remove another law if there is not enough room for it.

How about one limiting the amount that one can be taxed to 25% Idealy 10%.

How about another one saying you have to actually declare war before sending in troops and blowing stuff up?

No, fools, opnly The Left has spoken - and it's probably skewed at that.

NPR-Obama deserves to be defunded. No more tax dollars for propaganda.

To deny corporations the right to sue and be sued? To deny corporations the right to buy, possess and sell property? To deny corporations the right to exclude people from corporate property. Fascinating!

The Missing 13th
http://www.libertyforlife.com/law/13th/missing_13th_images.htm

Article 13, the Titles of Nobility and Honour Amendment (13th Amendment) is found in all the copies of the Constitution for The United States of America printed between 1819 and 1867. After the bankers took control of the U.S. following Lincoln’s uncivil “Civil War”, the 13th Amendment mysteriously disappeared and Federal government grew out of control.

“If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive, or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall without the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension, office, or emolument of any kind whatever, from any Emperor, King, Prince, or foreign Power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them.” 13th Amendment

The 13th Amendment lays in no uncertain terms Article I, Section 9 to the Constitution for the United States of America’s dictate that:

“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
By swearing allegiance to the British Accreditation Registry or BAR and taking on the title “Esquire”, BAR Lawyers give up citizenship and are denied any position in government. And how these BAR lawyers have destroyed the U.S. consider the complete and utter shambles and criminal nature of the courts throughout the U.S. and the treason and crimes Congress commits every day as a consequence of this group of traitors who call themselves lawyers of the BAR.
To the left the Constitution of the United State published to the benefit of Blind E. Hanes, clearly shows the 13th Amendment. Note the 13th Amendment is called Article XII. See the Constitution for the United States of America for a list of all the Articles. The Bill of Rights was Amended to the constitution and the Articles were typically called the Amendments. Some of the Articles, such as the First Article in the Bill of Rights was never ratified.
This next example of the publication of the BAR killer Amendment, to the right and below, is found in a well preserved copy of “Echoes from the Cabinet”.
Citizens considered it mandatory that every citizen was well versed in the law this leather bound book might hold as much significance and importance in many of the families as their Family Bible.
If you do not know the law, how on earth do you expect to be protected by it? Know the law, know the Constitution, in the U.S. it is the highest law of the land and overrules any other law.

In the next pages of Echoes seen below, Article XIII, the 13th Amendment BAR killer appears clearly and without ambiguity

This next 1840 Publication, “The American Citizen’s Manual of Reference” also shows the 13th Amendment BAR killer in all it’s glory:

In the Military Experiences of Corporal G. A’Lord, “A SHORT NARATIVE”, the 13th BAR killer again is printed in all it’s glory:

This following publication printed in 1862 publishing the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution for the United States of America, the Farewell Address of George Washington and the Proclamation of General Jackson to the Nullifiers of South Carolina in 1832. The publication was printed by Samuel P. Brown in Randolph Mass. in 1862

All publications between 1819 and 1867 show Article 13, the missing 13th Amendment:

The Whigs Almanac published in 1845 also contains the BAR Buster Amendment:

The TRUE REPUBLICAN, published in 1841, includes the BAR Buster 13th Amendment:
One can not but help to think that if true Republicans recognized the BAR Buster 13th Amendment in 1841, then what are the current Republicans?

The missing 13th Amendment which bars any BAR member from any office in politics, the judiciary or even being a citizen was and is clearly and obviously a ratified Amendment and a core component to the Constitution for the United States of America. Simply because the bankers who now control the government, own all the major printers and major media companies refuse to print the BAR Buster Amendment in their books today, does not reverse the fact that the BAR Buster Amendment is law. Any judge, president or congress person who has been or is a member of the BAR never has had any authority to pass any law or any judgment, everything they ever attempted to rule on or pass as a law is void.
The BAR Buster 13th Amendment simply further enforces what is already in the Constitution in Article I, Section 9:
“No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”
Esquire’s are excluded from office. It’s time to enforce the law and fire BAR lawyers from the bench. Law after all is law whether or not a person calls themselves a lawyer or not.

"to prohibit members of Congress from lobbying once they leave office."

This is the one I'd go for.

Yep. Leftists (i.e. NPR listeners) can be counted on to betray our founding principles. They are as predictable as clockwork.

This living document thing is great. Can I play too? Let's add to the Constitution that Menchies ( frozen yogurt ) will always have to stock my favorite flavors. I can go on but my wish list gets crude.

Virtually all of their changes would eviscerate the First Amendment.

Leftwingtards are all the time trying to abolish it.

Ok, how about this one:

No person who recieves direct payments from the United States government, any State governments, or any State Actor for other than work actually performed shall be entitled to vote in any United States election.

IOW, leeches don’t vote, and demscum vote buying ENDS!

I second that motion. It’s just common sense. Something in very short supply these days.

What about limiting the commerce clause to only actual goods or services crossing state lines or abolish the income tax?

Repealing McCain-Feingold’s allowance of corporations to do political advertising would also mean the repeal of UNIONS
to be able to do that. (But libs would be happy to have
corporations have their rights taken away...that would matter most to them)

The Electoral College prevents three or four of the most heavily populated states from constantly voting in the president.

when shakespeare said let’s first kill all the lawyers, he WAS being ironic.

lawyers — can’t live with them, can’t live without them (find yourself in serious legal trouble and see how far amateurs get you, yet the guild or bar system spends way too much effort rewarding itself)

Large cities would carry all presidential votes in a democratic system. The electoral college compromise ensured that states would have a certain amount of say in choosing presidents simply by virtue of their being states. That said, why is the Senate almost always more liberal than the House? Popular election of both chambers can’t be the entire story.
