  1. pcan , this place look's great . Let's hope we get some good imput for a mission statement & press release . Heard from Stein yet ? He could be without power . This ice storm was a Bad one ! It even produced thunder & lightining , which is odd to say the least for around here .

    I am realy excited about the march . I am fed-up with the fed ! This bailout stuff & the attack on the constitution . The stepping up of the attacks on our rights & freedoms . This , sadly , is Not the same America I was born in !

  2. Looks GREAT pcan....

    The Bill of Rights are Human Rights. Without them, we are subjects instead of Idividuals.

    Mission Statement Idea:
    It is our Mission to reinstate the Bill of rights as they were intended...For the people and By the people...not interpreted by Gov't.

  3. Great idea GC , but let me expand a little ? Something on the lines of a new bill of rights ? Or would that be to hoakie? You know like "We STILL have the right ......" ? With a preamble of all the rights we have and will lose ......

    I am an Idea man , Not a poet ... lol

  4. Back in the long-ago when I took Con Law, it was made very plain that the amendments did not grant unto the citizenry a right. That right existed before the Constitution, and, indeed, before the British Crown, or even Sargon of Akkad. God gave us these rights. What the Constitution did was to tell the gummint that these rights were not to be messed with. A'tall.
    Our fine legislative reps, our wonderful judiciary and the ever-vigilant sturmtruppen of the executive branch have tromped all over these rights over the last 180 years. We don't need a new one. We need to enforce the one we've got.
