How can congress get away with all this unconstitutional legislation with impunity? Long ago congress passed the first unconstitutional law against some drugs -- Prohibition 2.0. Then, over the years, a bunch more unconstitutional laws, most of it rather petty stuff, but all having long term effects on the unalienable rights of the people. More recently, they used the 9/11 tragedy to pass the Patriot act (without reading it) which wasn't at all patriotic in nature, and the other unconstitutional acts that took more of our freedoms away (like Habeas Corpus) and now allow them to pick any one of us up and hold us (without counsel or notification of our families of our whereabouts), and listen in to our phone conversations and read our email without cause. Then even more recently, they passed those "stimulus" bills that only stimulated the pockets of the thieves who head up those huge banks and corporations (again without reading any of them) against the overwhelming opposition of their constituents. The Supreme Court just declared the 2nd Amendment to be an individual right! But, now, this bill (H.R. 45) seeking to remove the unalienable right to defend oneself and one's property against criminals (including those residing in elected and non-elected offices in the government)!
We must punish these power, rights, and money grabbers in some way, or they will continue down this road to even greater tyranny. So, I ask:
What if we, in each and every congressional district, seek to recall our federal Senators and "Representative" for unconstitutional actions, and failing to represent us in a way that we approve?
We must take some kind of action, and we must do it quickly. It is obvious that just calling, writing emails, letters and faxes (even tho they are getting thousands a day), is not getting the result we want. They are closing their email accounts and requiring that we only contact them by phone or thru their contact forms (can't write them a letter because of their fear of anthrax), and when they do read/hear what we have to say, they completely ignore our concerns, our cries for tax relief, and our desire for liberty, they send us form letters in response which pretty much say "I hear what you say but I don't give a shit what you think, I'm going to vote this way, anyway."!
The ONLY thing left to us is to get together in our own congressional districts and put together a recall effort for every one of them, letting them know, making it very clear, we are taking this action because they are passing unconstitutional laws and ignoring our Constitutional Rights.
