If you think the Congress cares
Posted On 01/18/2010 00:01:06 by charrison514

If you think the US Congress and senate cares about the Constitution or the people of this great country please allow me to enlighten you.

As I write this article, members of both the Senate and House are behind closed doors debating on how best to put the healthcare bill over on the American people.

They are in the process of making under handed concession to the unions and special deals with individual congressmen and states. We the people, who they supposedly represent, have yet to be allowed to even gaze at a rough draft of this document. However it appears that, Obama, Pelose, Reid and the rest of the congressional Democratic herd, Have forgotten about one little thing. Just one. Its called the Constitution of the United States of America or to be more precise the powers granted to the Congress under section 8 paragraph 1 of that document.

I think you’ll find this a great little tidbit of information.

Constitution of the United States of America

Section 8 - Powers of Congress 

The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Impost and, Excises to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Impost and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

Let me give you some Definitions first


Excises : An excise or excise tax (sometimes called an excise duty) is a type of tax                      charged on goods produced Within the country






Impost : (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a tax, esp a customs duty.

Did you see anywhere in this paragraph where it says that unions should be exempted?

I didn’t !

Does it say that there should be exceptions for certain states, Congressmen or Senators?

Nope not there!

Obviously the Democrats think they do, or could they just be conveniently overlooking this for some unknown reason.

I want to know what you think. Send me your comments

I hope in some small way I've helped you see just a little more clearly.

Good day

Charlie

You sound like you have given on politics. I want you to know that this is exactly what they want you to do. They want you to become apathetic, to feel as though you have no power to effect change. That is how they stay in power buy keep the everyday folks like you and me away from the voting booth. they know that their political machine will get out  X number of votes so if that all that show up they win. I want you to think about theway you can throw a stick itto their spokes. To do this all you have to do is vote. When there is someone in office and doing a poor job for the country, state or local government cast that ballot and vote them out. Have open political discussion with people you now or meet. Here how you do it start by asking questions. Make them think about the answer. An example is like myself when I go to a restaurant I usualy sit at the bar or the counter. I then strike up a conversation with who ever is close by. at some point in the conversation I'll ask their opion on a political issue, this starts the ball rolling. By the time the conversation comes to an end we've got another active voter out there. Take heart you vote does count.

You are correct on all accounts.  God, the Father, is no longer the main-stay of this country or it's leaders.  Money, wealth, status and such have taken the place of God, who they thank and it's not the Father.  As Jesus said to the woman at the well,  "You know not who you pray to."  So our leaders no longer serve us or God, but they are looking good to Satan.


Both parties are guilty of such deeds, our mind can't concieve them all.  Till we as a people can live without written laws that bind our God given attributes, of free spirit and free thinking, then we are totally doomed.  No matter who is over us, money, and status mixed with power and greed shall bring this country down in a way that will shock all.   How much damage has been done, before now, only the Father knows.


Being poor, but happy has it's advantages.  You can't take something from those who have nothing.  So the rich and middle class shall suffer, by those who were voted in by the ignorant and  I'm not talking just the poor or homeless.  Those who call themselves elites, are the rulers of our generation and they will be ruthless to keep what they've already acquired before they ever repent, for they know nothing of God, but just money and power.  And as Jesus said, you can't serve God and Mammon too.


God the Father is the only one who treats all equally.  Whether rich or poor, or from one state or another, he shall judge us all on truths this country has lost and trying to find.


May God, the Father have mercy on our souls.
