"the 'crats" (demo, repub, & 'burro') will not answer these questions. Don't believe me? ASK "the 'crats" YOURSELVES!
Simply take this link <http://www.congressmerge.com/> to "the 'crat" government of your state. You need only contact the representatives of your state, as the majority of representatives will not even officially accept email sent from someone other than a state inhabitant. The site will send 1 email to ALL representatives of your state (as well as the super supreme ones, bush/cheney) with one click. Dear [Appropriate Salutation Will Be Inserted Here]: Will already be waiting for you.
************************************************** ********
I am contacting my members of Congress regarding an issue of concern to myself and a true Democratic Republic, "this Constitution <http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Constitution.html>" (Article VI., Clause 3.: States that ALL state/federal senators, representatives and judges "shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution;" of the US, which contains "The Bill of Rights <http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Amend.html>". Surely, "The People <http://www.leftjustified.com/leftjust/lib/sc/ht/const/>" and their representatives should know how many of "The People" are in jail, felonized or dead because of any/each US law.
"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government." -- James Madison, Primary Author of the Constitution <http://www.barefootsworld.net/constit1.html> President of the United States, Mainstream Militant and Revolutionary
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." ----George Washington, speech <http://www.barefootsworld.net/constit1.html> of January 7, 1790 in the Boston Independent Chronicle, January 14, 1790
1. How many homeschool parents were incarcerated in 2002 <http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/w/w-misc/ward070403.htm> by state/territory, men/women, misdemeanors/felonies for the last 10 years if possible? How many are still incarcerated <http://edworkforce.house.gov/press/press108/06jun/captasign062703.htm>? (Note: No mention of HSLDA, Constitutional Abuses Against Families By "This Government", nor, has any official implementation/notation information been available from the Federal Agencies, the Free Press, or "The People's" representatives since passage, except how this government is making it safer.) How many incarcerated homeschool parents are included in the government's prisoner data <http://usgovinfo.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ&sdn=usgovinfo&zu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ojp.usdoj.gov%2Fbjs%2F>? How many homeschool families were invaded by CPS solely on homeschool truancy <http://www.hslda.org/docs/news/hslda/200306/200306260.asp> child abuse charges from 1996 to present data? (Minimum Estimate: over 10,000)
2. How many Non-Custodial Parents (NCPs) were jailed for failure to pay child support in the year 2002 by state/territory, men/women, misdemeanors/felonies for the last 10 years if possible).? (Minimum Estimate <http://www.moga.state.mo.us/Oversight/over00/fishtm/2927-01B.ORG.htm>: MO: 900 felonies, 1,770 misdemeanor non-support charges x 56 state/territories=150,000 in 1999, 250,000 in 2002. Possibly more than 1/2 million may be being "encouraged", if this unreferenced editorial of a Child Support reformant in Michigan <http://www.freep.com/voices/editorials/echild23_20040823.htm> is correct.)
3. How many NCPs committed suicide in jail for failure to pay the full amount child support in the year 2002 by state/territory, men/women, misdemeanors/felonies for the last 10 years if possible. How many NCPs committed suicide in the year 2002 (Estimate: 12,000 <http://www.census.gov/prod/2002pubs/01statab/vitstat.pdf>)? How many of these were assessed Child Support based on "their ability to earn" or "underemployment" rather than what the NCP actually made? Yes, there are suicides in jail <http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/w/ward071103.htm> for failure to pay child support <http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/w/ward/03/ward072703.htm>.
4. How many Restraining Orders (RO) were granted in 2002 by state/territory, men/women, misdemeanors/felonies for the last 10 years if possible). (Estimate 1.7 million)? How many ROs were granted only on THE CLAIM OF FEAR of domestic violence (24,000 <http://www.mass.gov/ccj/dvfact.htm> of 36,000 in MA in 2000? How many NCPs committed suicide within six months of receiving the "Silver Bullet <http://www.fathersforlife.org/divorce/chldrndiv.htm>".
5. How many "contempt of courts" are imprisoned? Are "contempt of court" prisoners included in the 2 million Americans <http://usgovinfo.about.com/cs/censusstatistic/a/aaprisonpop.htm> in jail that are documented in the government data? Or, are they simply not noted by the government like most political prisoners? Don't you as a representative of "The People", have contempt for a court that fails to abide by the Constitution <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jail4judges/message/704>?
6. How many of "The People" were incarcerated under the patriot act by state/territory, men/women, misdemeanors/felonies from the time of enforcement to latest data available?
7. How many felons were denied their rights to vote in 2002 by state/territory, men/women, for the last 10 years if possible? What is the total number of felons being denied a voice in their government? How does taking a citizen's vote help make "The People" safer? (It only makes "illegitimate government" safer.)
8. How many of "The People" were jailed for victimless crimes in 2002 by state/territory, men/women, misdemeanors/felonies for the last 10 years if possible?
9. How many other groups/'The PEOPLE" are incarcerated without numbers?
10. Why is a divorced parent that may have been driven to suicide, some after an RO has been placed, listed in domestic violence (DV) data, as a perpetrator and the ex-spouse as a victim/survivor <http://www.sccgov.org/scc/assets/docs/221926DV%20Report%202002.pdf>?
11. Is this prisoner data being systematically cleansed from documents, like the other information the government does not want known <http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/04/09/03/ward.htm> to "The People"?
12. What is the CIA <http://www.thememoryhole.org/ciacrimes.htm> doing advising our government on DOMESTIC ISSUES? The CIA was created for and restricted to FOREIGN ISSUES. The CIA was created to gather information on FOREIGN citizens <http://www.thememoryhole.org/spy/rockefeller-register.htm> and to destroy that citizen's government from within <http://www.thememoryhole.org/phoenix/internal-security.htm>. Why would a Constitutional government want an agency, whose main agenda is overthrowal of governments, turned loose on "The People" of America <http://www.thememoryhole.org/spy/cia-handbook.htm>?
Any assistance, toward finding answers to any of these questions, would be appreciated by "The People" of the US.
Thank you for your time, consideration of the individual citizen and support of our Democratic Republic.
Sincerely,
************************************************** ********
Yes, there are many more questions that NEED TO BE ANSWERED. None of which is being asked by the National US PRESS so, feel "ENCOURAGED" TO ADD OR REMOVE QUESTIONS TO THE LIST AND ASK "the 'crats" YOURSELVES! If one person from each state/territory asks their congressional representatives 560 representatives will be notified of the facts regarding removal of Constitutional Rights from "The People" and the need to have true, accurate information for "The People". America only needs one true Representative to "encourage" other representatives to do the constitutionally correct actions. If this request for information does not produce a single reply from Congress, at least, the Public will know 0 down and 560 to go.
You should get a receipt of delivery back from Congress Merge or, if you get any interest in the truth from a concerned representative, PLEASE, forward it to

I have clicked and find it to be embarrassing nonsense. Remember Ed, most of the people on this site are too well informed to just throw a lot of big words at. You are acting like your the only person in the country who knows anything or cares. If you want to change anything, start with yourself. Get informed and learn how to write better.

Please more advice from the "well informed sideline gallery". Want to expand on exactly what is nonsense. After all, since I'm actually doing something, I'd like it to be accurate. Give me one of your nonsenses. Wow, what is it that you are doing again. Please help out this person actually doing something, I'm sure your Vast Experience in the sideline gallery is needed. Thanks for your assistance in actually doing something. Pot will be legal, the gov will respond to The People, no more political prisoners.... Thank you, where would the cause be without all your valuable typing non referenced bs. Keep up the great work, I'm sure we will be free in no time.

It is appreciated. It is alsoThe Only Real response I have gotten in over 300 views. Which is a little higher activism rate than usual.
As stated, the agreement is appriciated. However, more than agreement is necessary for change at this time. I ask "one of agreement" to forward any article of mine to your contacts, preferably, Questions "the 'crats wont answer (would be a good start to ask your congress people), or The US is a distorted.... Take all the credit, if you like, (as long as you follow-up with the few that respond.). I care nothing about the credit. It is the message that is important. The message is universal to the oppressed. Anti-war interests, prison reform interests, American interests, World interests, Family interest, the list is endless, for the Historical Background Constitution affects everyone in the US and in particular those oppressed by this government.
So CE, thank you again for your agreement. Please allow me to thank you again, not for your agreement, But, For Your Activity.
My Best to You and Yours,

Medical Marijuana and the Federal War on Drugs
In the 2000 campaign for president, George W. Bush said that the federal government should not interfere with the medical marijuana policies of the several states. Like so many other promises, he went back on his word and has closed down medical marijuana facilities permitted by state governments.
This is an outrage. The federal government has no constitutional authority to interfere with state drug policies. When the federal government outlawed alcohol, it required a constitutional amendment to do so. Nonetheless it has assumed the legal authority to wage its "War on Drugs."
According to nearly every scientific study on the subject, including ones conducted by the government, medical marijuana provides unique relief to patients suffering from cancer, AIDS, glaucoma and other illnesses, and the drug does not have the same addictive properties as alcohol.
The federally approved Marinol contains the psychoactive THC but lacks other cannabinoids crucial to marijuana as an effective medicine. This is one of the many insanities of federal drug policy, which categorizes a plant that has never been shown to kill anyone as more illegal than cocaine, and certainly more illegal than alcohol.
Though smoking marijuanaâ??just as smoking tobaccoâ??can cause harm to the lungs and respiratory system, the drug can also be ingested and vaporized so as to prevent such unwanted side effects.
On a fundamental level, Libertarians believe that it is the unalienable and constitutional right of individuals to medicate themselves and choose for themselves what to put into their bodies, as long as they live up to the consequences of their actions. The federal government has no proper say in the matter, and state governments violate the rights of the people in their own attempts to enforce morality. The decision to ingest, smoke or consume any drug should be up to the individual, under the advice of his or her physician, when appropriate. Locking people up for trying to relieve their pain is cruel and unusual punishment for an act that hurts no one.
The Drug War has led to some of the worst violations of the constitutional liberties of Americans, as well as to the worst wave of violent crime in American history since Alcohol Prohibition. It has been used to rationalize unlawful searches and seizures, corruption of the court system, no-knock raids, racial profiling, and "civil asset forfeiture"â??a policy whereby government officials can confiscate private property without even charging anyone with a crime. The War on Drugs, more than anything else, has served as a means of destroying the Bill of Rights. It has also led to excessive taxes and spending, costing more than 40 billion dollars a year to arrest, prosecute and imprison non-violent drug offenders.
Drug Prohibition has caused gang warfare and other violent crime by raising the prices of drugs so much that vicious criminals enter the market to make astronomical profits, and addicts rob and steal to get money to pay the inflated prices for their drugs. On average, drug prisoners spend more time in federal prison than rapists, who often get out on early release because of the over-crowding in prison caused by the Drug War. While violent criminals can usually have their sentences reduced, drug offenders are subject to "mandatory minimums," which strip away judicial discretion and force judges to put users and dealers in prison for decades. This has to stop.
The Drug War also has funded terrorists; providing them with opportunities for enormous profits, and even by giving foreign aid to such regimes as the Taliban as long as they promised to have "tough drug" policies.
The Drug War does not curb demand, it barely reduces supply, however it makes America much more dangerous and much less free.
A Libertarian president would order federal officials to cease and desist in harassing medical marijuana patients and would block federal spending on the War on Drugs. Nonviolent drug offenders would be released from federal prison, and each state would choose its own drug policy, just as each chose its own alcohol policy when alcohol Prohibition was repealed. Libertarians would hope and expect most states to come around and severely reform their policies to make them more humane and less at odds with the Constitution and the American way of life.

Industrial Hemp
Government often prepares the way for oppressive legislation by exaggerating a current danger, or by rhetorically turning harmless people and things into bogeymen.
Certainly this has been the case with industrial hemp. Although it includes a technical exemption for hemp, The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 generally treats hemp like marijuana, its psychotropic cousin. Smoking industrial hemp to "get high" yields about the same result as smoking the evening newspaper; and while the government contends that hemp can be useful as camouflage for marijuana growth, even laymen can easily distinguish between the two.
What makes current federal policy so tragic is that industrial hemp is estimated to have 25,000 constructive uses. Indeed, until recently the qualities of perhaps the world's most useful plant were widely understood and utilized. Ironically, in early 17th Century America, laws existed REQUIRING farmers to grow hemp. Later, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both left glowing references to the plant in their writings.
Hemp even has a record of heroism: During WWII, the U.S. war effort needed hemp-based supplies so badly that it instituted the "Hemp for Victory" program. The beginnings of today's repressive policies were already in place by the late 30s, as a result of propaganda efforts waged against hemp by the petro-chemical and timber industries. However, when America's very survival was threatened, the government exempted farmers and their sons from military service if they'd agree to grow it.
The ahistorical perception that those interested in legalizing hemp cultivation are all drug users has far-reaching economic, ecological and humanitarian effects. Consider just a few of the benefits we're missing out on:
* According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture report, "Hemp Hurds as a Paper-Making Material" (Bulletin No. 404), the core of the hemp stalk produces more than four times more paper than trees in proportion to land area cultivated.
* Raw hempseed oil can be used, without any modification, to power diesel engines.
* Thousands of natural food products, including staples like cheese and milk, are made from hempseed. Its protein content is higher than any plant source except soy -- and is more usable than soy as well.
* Although anyone can manufacture and sell hemp products in the U.S., it is illegal to cultivate the plant. An untold number of income opportunities, which would easily be supported by the growing demand for ecologically friendly alternatives, are denied the American work force. Availability of overseas hemp is insufficient to meet demand. Jobs -- not just in cultivation, but manufacture of goods -- are lost.
If the War on Drugs is senseless and unfathomable in light of reality -- and it is -- the prohibition on cultivating industrial hemp is even more so. Canada and the European Union have more enlightened -- and economically sound -- hemp policies than the United States.
The Bush Administration has attempted to ban hempseed food products which were formerly exempt from the definition of marijuana; foods that have no harmful effect whatsoever, and which aren't even remotely associated with recreational drug use.
As your President, I would open the way for free-market exploration and exploitation of industrial hemp. I'd veto legislation funding enforcement of laws against it, and I'd lobby Congress to repeal those laws.
Isn't it time we had a leader who defended the economic freedom which so well serves the interests of the American people?
http://www.badnarik.org/Issues/IndustrialHemp.php
Military Policy and the War in Iraq
The War in Iraq is a failure, and the U.S. government should never have waged it. As your president, one of my first tasks will be to begin the orderly process of bringing our troops home as quickly as can safely be accomplished.
More and more Americans are coming to oppose the war, the war hawks and high government officials are beginning to distance themselves from the president, and the U.S. seems more willing than ever to pull out of Iraq.
But this is not enough. We need to learn how this disaster happened, so we can prevent future disasters from happening.
First, allow me to dispel a myth. People in the Middle East do not hate us for our freedom. They do not hate us for our lifestyle. They hate us because we have spent many years attempting to force them to emulate our lifestyle.
The U.S. government has meddled in the affairs of the Middle East far too long, always with horrendous results. It overthrew the democratically elected leader of Iran and replaced him with the Shah. After making Iranians the enemies of Americans, the U.S. government gave weapons, intelligence and money to Iran's mortal adversary, Saddam Hussein. The U.S. government also helped Libyan Col. Qaddafi come to power, propped up the Saudi monarchy and the Egyptian regime, and gave assistance to Osama bin Laden.
Most Americans have forgotten these events. But the people of the Middle East will always remember.
It was because of American troops in Saudi Arabia, lethal sanctions on Iraq, support for states in serious violation of International Law, and siding with Israel in its dispute with the Palestinians to the tune of more than $3 billion per year in taxpayers' funds that terrorist leaders were able to recruit those individuals who caused 3,000 Americans to pay the ultimate price on September 11, 2001.
The proper response would have been to present the evidence as to who committed the heinous act both to Congress and to the people, and have Congress authorize the president to track down the individuals actually responsible, doing everything possible to avoid inflicting harm on innocents.
A Libertarian president would not have sent the military trampling about the world, racking up a death count in the thousands, wasting tax money on destroying and re-building infrastructure, creating more enemies, and doing the kinds of things that led to 9/11 in the first place.
We cannot undo history, unfortunately.
The U.S. government has never succeeded in establishing freedom and democracy in any of its foreign adventures in the last fifty years. Freedom and democracy are blessings any people must establish for themselves.
Here at home, war leads to a decline in civil liberties, higher taxes, and wartime economic measures that blur the line between business and state, allowing politically favored corporations to profit at the expense of taxpayers.
Libertarians understand the importance of adhering to the Constitution, because it is designed to limit the power of the state here and abroad. And we especially understand the danger of war, which expands the power of the government far beyond its constitutional limits.
The founders of this country knew that war should not be initiated at the president's whim, and so the constitutional authority to wage war rests with Congress.
James Madison, father of the Constitution, said, "If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy." He also said, "No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. . ."
In short, a libertarian foreign policy is one of national defense, and not international offense. It would protect our country, not police the world.

See if he/they/staff/anyone will answer if they will follow the Historical Background Constitution when in power? They expect the poeple to adopt their limited but powerful, if elected, platforms, instead of taking a platform that TREMENDOUSLY REDUCES GOVERNMENT POWER and has appeal to the entire populace.

Questions for the Libertarian Party/Candidate Badnarik
Dear Mr. Gordon,
As a writer/staff for The Price of Liberty, a writer for The People and Media Liason for The Price of Liberty (http://thepriceofliberty.org/), I request an interview with Mr. Badnarik or delegated staffer. The interview consists of 2 questions and may be answered by email.
1. Since many of the platform policies are very similar to the Rights granted by The Historical Background Constitution, the only ratified Constitution, would Mr. Badnarik/Libertarian Party be willing to be bound by the Rights granted government and The People, if elected.
For the Historical Background Constitution does way more than the platform policies of the current Libertarian movement.
Further information on the intent of the article is available at:

The US Is "a Distorted, Bastardized Form of Illegitimate Government."
Questions: Why Isn't That Enough to Unite the Minor Political Parties?
"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government." --- James Madison.
James Madison, "Father of The Constitution", and all of the signers of The Constitution were adamant, or in agreement with the historical background interpretation. Without a historical background interpretation, our Constitutional Founders could not give The People their inalienable rights and protection from their own government. They made sure their intent was known via various quotes, manuscripts and Preambles...

2. Would Mr. Badnarik ask these questions regarding the oppressed by this current distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.

Questions "the 'crats" Will Not Answer.
Ask Them Yourselves!
"the 'crats" (demo, repub, & 'burro') will not answer these questions. Don't believe me? ASK "the 'crats" YOURSELVES!
Simply take this link <http://www.congressmerge.com/> to "the 'crat" government of your state. You need only contact the representatives of your state, as the majority of representatives will not even officially accept email sent from someone other than a state inhabitant. The site will send 1 email to ALL representatives of your state (as well as the super supreme ones, bush/cheney) with one click. Dear [Appropriate Salutation Will Be Inserted Here]: Will already be waiting for you.
I am contacting my members of Congress regarding an issue of concern to myself and a true Democratic Republic, "this Constitution " (Article VI., Clause 3.: States that ALL state/federal senators, representatives and judges "shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution;" of the US, which contains "The Bill of Rights <http://www.house.gov/Constitution/Amend.html>". Surely, "The People " and their representatives should know how many of "The People" are in jail, felonized or dead because of any/each US law.
"Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government." -- James Madison, Primary Author of the Constitution President of the United States, Mainstream Militant and Revolutionary
"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." ----George Washington of January 7, 1790 in the Boston Independent Chronicle, January 14, 1790
1. How many homeschool parents were incarcerated in 2002 by state/territory, men/women, misdemeanors/felonies for the last 10 years if possible? How many are still incarcerated ? (Note: No mention of HSLDA, Constitutional Abuses Against Families By "This Government", nor, has any official implementation/notation information been available from the Federal Agencies, the Free Press, or "The People's" representatives since passage, except how this government is making it safer.) How many incarcerated homeschool parents are included in the government's prisoner data ? How many homeschool families were invaded by CPS solely on homeschool truancy child abuse charges from 1996 to present data? (Minimum Estimate: over 10,000)

Libertarians Accept Receipt of Questions and Distorted Government. :D
:cool: Awesome. :cool:
Mr. Gordon,
It is a small world after all, at least on the net. Thank you. Having voted Libertarian for many years without even acknowledgement of how many votes my candidate received, I hope these questions/info will be of use to the Libertarian Party. I know they will be of some use to The People of America, who are in desperate need of their exposure.
Incidently, there are some changes going on at TPoL which I believe will be beneficial. I look forward to your next contribution at TPoL.
Thank you again, for your efforts, time, consideration and concern for a True Democratic Republic.
My Best to You and Yours,
Ed :p

Price of Liberty Q/A
POL asks:
1. Since many of the platform policies are very similar to the
Rights granted by The Historical Background Constitution, the only
ratified Constitution, would Mr. Badnarik/Libertarian Party be
willing to be bound by the Rights granted government and The
People, if elected. For the Historical Background Constitution does
way more than the platform policies of the current Libertarian
movement. Further information on the intent of the article is
available at: http://www.thepriceofliberty.org/04/09/10/ward.htm
Badnarik:
The article you cite is quite interesting, and does make some good
points about the importance of examining the context in which the
Constitution was written, the intent of its ratifiers (and the
ratifiers of its amendments), and so forth.
If you are asking whether I am willing, as president, to abide by the
restrictions the Constitution places upon the federal government, the
answer is absolutely yes.
However, the question above includes a significant error to which I
cannot in good conscience be a party. The Constitution, according to
its own text, the stated intentions of its framers and the historical
context in which it was written, debated and ratified, does not
``grant`` any rights. It simply recognizes the existence of rights ~~
some of which are enumerated therein and explicitly protected, and
some of which are left unenumerated by which are implicitly protected
under the ninth and tenth amendments.
The US Is ``a Distorted, Bastardized Form of Illegitimate
Government.``
Why Isn`t That Enough to Unite the Minor Political
Parties?
``Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you
will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only
end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.``
~~~ James Madison.
James Madison, ``Father of The Constitution``, and all of the signers
of The Constitution were adamant, or in agreement with the
historical background interpretation. Without a historical
background interpretation, our Constitutional Founders could not
give The People their inalienable rights and protection from their
own government. They made sure their intent was known via various
quotes, manuscripts and Preambles...

POL: 2. Would Mr. Badnarik ask these questions regarding the oppressed
by this current distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate
government.
Badnarik:
You are presumably referring to the following questions, included in
the article you cite:
1. How many homeschool parents were incarcerated in 2002 by
state/territory, men/women, misdemeanors/felonies for the last years if possible? How many are still incarcerated ? (Note: No
mention of HSLDA, Constitutional Abuses Against Families By ``This
Government``, nor, has any official implementation/notation
information been available from the Federal Agencies, the Free
Press, or ``The People`s`` representatives since passage, except how
this government is making it safer.) How many incarcerated
homeschool parents are included in the government`s prisoner data ?
How many homeschool families were invaded by CPS solely on
homeschool truancy child abuse charges from 1996 to present data?
(Minimum Estimate: over 10,000)
Yes, I`m willing to ask those questions, among others.

What person claims to know more about the Constitution, it's intentions, interpretations, subtleties, inner workings, etc., and etal, than The Father of The Constitution and The Framers of The Constitution. There are many that claim to be able to interpret and have many titles for just that. Fancy Law Degrees and PhD's, they all claim to know the Constitution. But, any person that claims to tell me that they know more about "this Constitution" than The Father of The Constitution and The Framers of The Constitution, I have to thank. It's nice to be able to know a liar right from the start. For All these Learned Law Degrees and PhDs have studied anything but The Constitution. Everyone of them has studied the text only. Or, "their interpretations" of the text only. If they have not studied the Historical Background Constitution and Only The Historical Background Constitution, they have not studied "this Constitution" and are ignorant of The Facts. The Father of The Constitution says: "Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government." -- James Madison, Primary Author of the Constitution <http://www.barefootsworld.net/constit1.html>
No one will ever be able to explain to me more clearly How "this Constitution" Is To Be Interpreted better than, the man integral to it's conception. As an American, I know beyond a shadow of doubt, That Is My heritage. Those Are My Rights. Those Are The People's Rights. Yet "this government" has more than 50 interpretations of the Constitution. And out of that, there is only one that "this government" has taken an oath or affirmation to support during present and past Oath of Offices. It is hardly used by "this government" or "past governments" in several decades, currently called Originalism or Original Intent. But, it is more appropriately named by The Father of The Constitution as The Historical Background Constitutional Interpretation.
This Is The Historical Background of The Constitution According to Thomas Jefferson. (My apologies for these are not the most appropriate of all of TJ's quotes. Nor is TJ the only source of significant quotes. From just 2 sources, there are over 400 quotes dealing with what the government should be, the tyrannical government that might follow, Unalienable Rights, Liberty, Justice, Government, The Constitution, etc., et al. They all need to be catagorized for appropriate usage in a Historical Background Interpretation. Until then, they remain hidden from The People, just as the Rights they espouse are hidden from all, but, those who look to find them wherever they can.. Add to that almost 200 quotes dealing with the same aspects from James Madison. Add to that John Hancock, Samuel Adams, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, George Washingtion, and several others and there are probably close to 1000 insights into Exactly what is meant by "this Constitution" and what this government should be and should not be. All will need to be catagorized to be used effectively. This does not include any papers, notes, or writing by any of these individuals that strived so hard to keep us free from tyranny. This is a fairly large undertaking and will not be finished in 40 days. In 40 days, this country will elect another president. The People, if informed of what has been stolen from them by government over decades, Can Be Returned to The People. One of the Presidential Candidates has affirmed his alliance to The Historical Background Constitution. In 40 days "super supreme one" could be Alot Less super supreme. In 4 years and 40 days, the entire representation of this country could be Returned to The People. It will not take any firearms, or violence. All it will take is for the 100 million or so that have gotten so tired of a Rigged System that they no longer vote, To Vote for Return of "this government" to The People. It can start in 40 days and be finished in 4 years and 40 days. It does not matter who the president is, as long as his hands are bound by the chains of The Historical Background Constitution. The man with the bound hands is Michael Badnarik of the Libertarian Party. The man with the bound hands is eligible in 48 states. The man with the bound hands is a viable 3rd Party Candidate with exposure. The choice is up to the voters and those who have foresakin voting.)
"In questions of power let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution."
"I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." There were more than 45 million parasites government employees in 2000 and TJ thought he had it bad before his tenure was over.
Liberty:
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniencies attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.
But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."
"Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none."
"Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God, because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of a blind faith."
"It is not only vain, but wicked, in a legislator to frame laws in opposition to the laws of nature, and to arm them with the terrors of death. This is truly creating in order to punish them."
"Equal rights for all, special privileges for none."
The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time.
Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society.
Taxes:
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
"To compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
There is not a truth existing which I fear... or would wish unknown to the whole world.
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
Rights:
A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
That peace, safety, and concord may be the portion of our native land, and be long enjoyed by our fellow-citizens, is the most ardent wish of my heart, and if I can be instrumental in procuring or preserving them, I shall think I have not lived in vain.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men. We â?¦ solemnly publish and declare, that these colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent states â?¦ and for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honour.
Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate, than that these people are to be free;
Government:
The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
Peace, commerce, and honest friendship, with all nations-entangling alliances with none.
"A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement."
The natural progress of things is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive.
Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
"I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." There were more than 45 million parasites government employees in 2000 and TJ thought he had it bad before his tenure was over.
The world is indebted for all triumphs which have been gained by reason and humanity over error and oppression.
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.
That government is the strongest of which every man feels himself a part.
The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.
The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as they are injurious to others.
Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.
That government is best which governs the least, because its people discipline themselves.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
God who gave us life gave us liberty. 1 Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are the gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever. 2 Commerce between master and slave is despotism. 3 Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. 4 Establish the law for educating the common people. 5 This it is the business of the State to effect and on a general plan.
Almighty God hath created the mind free. All attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens â?¦ are a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion â?¦ No man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship or ministry or shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but all men shall be free to profess and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of religion. 1 I know but one code of morality for men whether acting singly or collectively.
"The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits."
Laws:
A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.
The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working under ground to undermine the foundations of our confederated fabricâ?¦. A judiciary independent of a king or executive alone, is a good thing; but independence of the will of the nation is a solecism, at least in a republican government.
The germ of dissolution of our federal government is in the constitution of the federal judiciary; an irresponsible body, (for impeachment is scarcely a scare-crow,) working like gravity by night and by day, gaining a little to-day and a little to-morrow, and advancing its noiseless step like a thief, over the field of jurisdiction, until all shall be usurped from the States, and the government of all be consolidated into one.
At the establishment of our constitutions, the judiciary bodies were supposed to be the most helpless and harmless members of the government. Experience, however, soon showed in what way they were to become the most dangerous; that the insufficiency of the means provided for their removal gave them a freehold and irresponsibility in office; that their decisions, seeming to concern individual suitors only, pass silent and unheeded by the public at large; that these decisions, nevertheless, become law by precedent, sapping, by little and little, the foundations of the constitution, and working its change by construction, before any one has perceived that that invisible and helpless worm has been busily employed in consuming its substance. In truth, man is not made to be trusted for life, if secured against all liability to account.
Press:
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
A sense of this necessity, and a submission to it, is to me a new and consolatory proof that wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.
Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.
Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.
The advertisement is the most truthful part of a newspaper.
The People's Duty:
We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country.
When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot in it and hang on.
We are not to expect to be translated from despotism to liberty in a featherbed.
Yet where does this anarchy exist? Where did it ever exist, except in the single instance of Massachusets? And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted?â?¦ God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.
There is not a truth existing which I fear... or would wish unknown to the whole world.
Truth is certainly a branch of morality and a very important one to society.
Constitution:
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
The constitution, on this hypothesis, is a mere thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary, which they may twist and shape into any form they please.
I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our constitution. I would be willing to depend on that alone for the reduction of the administration of our government to the genuine principles of itâ??s constitution; I mean an additional article, taking from the federal government the power of borrowing.
Every constitution..., and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19 years [a generation]. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right.
In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.
The mobs of great cities add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.
I own that I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive.
I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.
I was bold in the pursuit of knowledge, never fearing to follow truth and reason to whatever results they led, and bearding every authority which stood in their way.
War:
War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses.
It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
Firearms:
No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it.
Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains.
Money, not morality, is the principle commerce of civilized nations.
Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
Nothing gives one person so much advantage over another as to remain always cool and unruffled under all circumstances.
One man with courage is a majority.
The good opinion of mankind, like the lever of Archimedes, with the given fulcrum, moves the world.
E-Publishers?
The man who reads nothing at all is better educated than the man who reads nothing but newspapers.

RE: Fascist. Do you have a quote for this? I do remember the posts, but, I do not believe that was why I called you a fascist. If that is the factual basis, then by all means you are not a fascist. However, that does not mean that you may not still be one.

Another thing. I think there should be a limit of text area in one's post. This is a stoner board you know.
