For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that Congress members could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they didn't pay into Social Security, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws.
The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that is being considered...in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We should not have an elite group governing the rest of us that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop. This is a good way to do that. It is an idea whose time has come.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States
Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law that applies to
The citizens of the United States that does not apply
Equally to the Senators and Representatives; and,
Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators
And Representatives that does not apply equally to the
citizens of the United States ".
Hey Charlie, I like the way you think. The conquest of America occurred through the deceit of assigning artificial meanings to legal words in ways the people do not understand and concerning which they are not fully and openly informed. An important example is the 14th Amendment, which created a "citizenship" for "persons," i.e. Corporate government fictions and franchisees.
ReplyDeleteWith subtle treachery, the 14th Amendment states: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States...." A real human being cannot be "born or naturalized" in a fiction. Only artificial entities - "persons" - can be "born or naturalized" in an abstraction such as the "United States." People proclaiming themselves "persons" are compelled to perform to whatever rules are attached to the term. One who says: "I am a citizen of the United States" is legally stating: "I am not a real, living, sentient being but an imaginary creation of the minds of other men who are fully entitled to tax, regulate, control, and destroy me through my identification with a fiction that is their creation and property." (You read that correctly! A 14th Amendment citizen is legally chattel property.) File your UCC-1 statement.
