Seventeen Silences State Sovereignty

Prompted by State Legislators that failed to meet their obligation, it was done in the name of democracy. They had lost sight of the significance associated with their part in the balance of power. Now we witness the raging madness of an oligarchy. Now we see why the balance of power, the separation, and our Republican form of government are so essential, and the times are not unique to Obama's reign.

I'm speaking of the Seventeenth Amendment. The Seventeenth Amendment silenced the voices that defended State Constitutions. The Seventeenth Amendment sliced State Sovereignty right out of the Upper Chamber. Today, the Upper and Lower Chambers are beset by near identical lobbying and campaign forces. Aside from the length of term and civil service tenor, what distinguishes the two chambers? What exists to prevent the two chamber of the U.S. Congress from trampling State Rights or State Constitutions? Who in D.C. is accountable to State Law Makers?

The founders understood something that we have forgotten. The corruption of man has no end. Therefore, we must separate powers to the fullest extent possible. The separation of the Executive from the Judicial from the Legislative is not enough. Can you not see this? The power of the masses has to be separate from the power of the States!! General lobbying influences of special interests, unions, corporation, cities, etc.. have destroyed the system. The voices of State Legislators and the State Constitutions are no longer represented and defended in the Federal City!!

It's time to get loud. It's time to tell Washington that the State Legislators have their voice in the U.S. Senate. The power and accountability of State Representation in the Senate must be returned!! It is time to Repeal 17!!

Texas House members Creighton, Hughes, Berman, Gattis and Guillen have filed HCR-50 declaring the Sovereignty of the State of Texas in light of the Tenth Amendment. Their effort is worthy of your support. Tea Parties are flaring up all across the land. These symbolic acts are also worthy of your support. But what has teeth? What will take a bite out of the corruption in the Federal City? What can really bring change to D.C.? What will restore the balance of power in the land?

Repeal 17!! Repeal 17!!

God Save the U.S.A.

The Greatness of Our Constitution

Today is a world of innumerable paths. The ideals and variances in political persuassions are innumerbale. The world before the Founding of the U.S. had also seen many political systems. Yet, out of that era would emerge the single greatest system...

The balance of power would be at its core. The power of the federal government would be seperated from the state governments. The federal government would be seperated into the executive, judicial, and legislative branches. The legislature divided into the people's house and the state's senate (prior to the 17th amendment). The voice of the mases seperated by the state and district juridictions.

The brilliance of our constitution is the seperation or balance of power. Yet, here we arrive in the year 2008, and the balance of power has been corrupted. The federal government has usurped the power of the states. The corporate and special interest have usurped the voice of the people.

I ask you, "Why did the founders establish the separation of power?" It is because they understand that people, as individuals and as groups are corruptible. This is a Biblical principal. The Word of God teaches that man is fallen and nature, and left to his own devices, he will generally fall to temptation, cheating his way to money, power or fame.

The seperation of power is needed to keep fallen man in check. We need the accountablity and questioning of others. We need help staying on the narrow road. Pray this day. Ask God to help you, to help this nation. God help us to restore the balance of power. Help us to remove coruption in the land.

God save the U.S.A.
