Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. A citizen is a well armed sheep being able to contest the outcome. How did we get turned into a democracy when Artcle four section 4 of our Constitution says that the Federal Government has to guarantee to the Stateas a Republican form of government?
Our Senators are supposed to be appointed by our state legislature and cannot at the time elected be an inhabitant of the State from which he is chosen.
Our President is supposed to be elected by people not holding public office in our state and appointed by our legislators in the number of senators and members of the House of Representives.
Voters were to be mature men and women contributing to the government by either giving money or serving in the military of the U.S. In other words, if you werent a producer you couldn't vote. Now, the dregs of our society vote people into office that plunder the producers. Like the Hilda Beast.
Our founders were very aware of the dangers of democracy and tried to prevent it by not having the House, senate and Presdnt answering to the same constituancy to get re elected.
A Republican form of government is a government where the supreme power lies in the hands of the people who can vote for representatives who are bound in their actions by law (Constitutonal Law.)
A Democracy is majority rule. (Democracy is mob rule.)
Now you know.
So how do we protect ourselves from government? With guns and a Constitution of course.
Our two party monoply on governing has never had a serious challenge. So, I have formed a "Citizens Party" and wrote a citizens hand book which, gives a working knowledge of your rights and duties.
I'm doing radio shows exposing what our gvernment has become. Constant vigilance means you know your document and can spot when it's being violated.
Thanks for the query citizen.
Our constitution clearly states there will be no bill of capitation. The sixteenth amendment contradicts that.
rticle V of the Constitution tells usm how the Constitution can be ehanced (changed) and an "Act" isn't there. The Federal Reserve Act is illegal becaus it superceeds the clause in Article One sect eight where congress has the power to coin money etc.. The War Powers Act and the Trading with the enemies act fall into the same category.
"An unconstituional Act is not law, it confers no rights:it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is, in leagl contemplation as inoperative as though it had never been passed." U.S. Sureme Court Norton V Sheby County 118 U.S. 425,442
"Protection" is a rather nebulous term, particularly in the context of some of the debates on this forum. Please clarify your interpretation of appropriate government protection.
There is a trading with the enemnies act included therein which makes you and I enemieas of the state.
Look it up and you will see how our president can act on his own outside the confines we laid down for him in our Constitution.
