62nd United States Congress
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/62nd_United_States_Congress

The Sixty-second United States Congress was a meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It met in Washington, DC from March 4, 1911 to March 4, 1913, during the third and fourth years of William H. Taft’s presidency.

Senate Majority: Republican
House Majority: Democratic

Constitutional amendments

May 13, 1912: 17th Amendment passed Congress and sent to the states for ratification. It would create a popularly elected U.S. Senate instead of the original process of appointment by state legislatures.

February 3, 1913: 16th Amendment was ratified, authorizing the Federal government to impose and collect income taxes.

The 16th passed and ratified under Taft. GOP gave us the Income Tax.

63rd United States Congress
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/63rd_United_States_Congress

It met in Washington, D.C. from March 4, 1913 to March 4, 1915, during the first two years of Woodrow Wilson’s presidency.

Senate Majority: Democratic
House Majority: Democratic

Wilson had a Democrat majority in both House and Senate for the 63rd Congress.

Constitutional amendments:
April 8, 1913: 17th Amendment was ratified, creating a popularly elected U.S. Senate instead of the original process of appointment by state legislatures.

Democrats took away our Senate appointment.

For historical accuracy’s sake.

Dems controlled both houses of Congress up to the 66th US Congress, when both switched to Republican control - last two years of Wilson.

The 61st Congress, in GOP control passed the 16th. It was ratified later by the States.

The 62nd Congress, with the GOP in Senate control passed the 17th. It was ratified later by the States.

you can try to blame Bush or Republicans all you want but
Byron King explains the truth, how the socialist world we’re all living in today was essentially created by DEMOCRAT President Woodrow Wilson during his Presidency in the early 1900’s:

http://dailyreckoning.com/the-wilson-presidency-woodrow-wilsons-world/

this was just a few items of the top of my head that the your satanic communist democrat party has done to destroy the USA . not by any means complete. someone should do a comprehensive report on all the evil socialist laws democrats have passed to destroy this country.

just a few off the top of my head any ONE of these are could destroy a free country and they did.

1913 income tax (your democrat woodrow wilson his democrat congress)
new deal democrat FDR and his democrat congress
great society democrat LBJ
1965 immigration act democrat ted kennedy
obama care Obama and all democrats , not a single Republican in congress voted for this

democrat President woodrow wilson and his democrat congress were the architects of the progressive era that started in 1913 .The following is an exact quote from this site:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Seventeenth_Amendment

“The Seventeenth Amendment was ratified in 1913 during the progressive era of Woodrow Wilson.”

also from this site
http://www.woodrowwilsonhouse.org/constitutional-amendments

“Two other amendments were ratified while Wilson was President: income tax (16th) was ratified in February 1913; and direct election of Senators (17th) was ratified on April 8, 1913.”

you cherry pick a few things and try to spin to absolve the evil democrats/communists of any blame. Obamacare , all democrats voted for that. defend that . 1965 immigration act defend democrats there. and woodrow wilson and his democrat congress passed the income tax in 1913. your democrats controlled congress for 40 years until 1994 and during that time they built this huge government , rooms full of laws. you will say that is Bush's fault . go donate to the democrats/communists. i just had time to post a FEW horrors your democrats did.

keep helping democrats they still want to pass amnesty, gun control , global warming legislation and eventually take away all property rights(socialism). why do you trust government
