Things to consider as Uncommon Sense

[G. R. Smith]

Just my occasional reminder of who, what and where we are:

We were formed as and our Constitutional design of government is a Representative Republic. Unfortunately, if We The People, made up of all of the American Persons, do not reclaim our power by turning out our representatives in Congress, who have sold us out for their own power, the Republic will be lost. And our opportunities to do this are surely numbered if not soon to end. 2012 is the year to forget about the political establishment's decoy, the Presidential Pageant, and focus on where the true Constitutional power is in this Republic, the Congress. 

And just because your Representative or Senator has a particular letter behind their name is not enough. We must vet all on their understanding of the Constitution and on their willingness to fight for the salvation of the Republic. Or we must do all in our power to remove them and replace them with those who will. It’s crunch time folks! Do you/we have it in you/us to save the Republic? I hope you/we do!

From the Constitution of the United States:
Article I
Section 1
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Questions for you to ask your Representatives and Senators-
1. Have you voted for a bill you haven't read?
2. Have you voted for a bill you didn't understand?
3. Have you voted for a bill without assuring it is Constitutional?
4. Have you voted for a bill because your Party leadership told you to?
5. Have you voted for a bill because it provided advantages to a contributor?
6. Nave you voted for a bill to appease a special interest group?
7. Have you voted for a bill just to get something done?
8. Have you voted for a bill with add-ons that don't effect the actual bill?
9. Have you voted for a bill because of pressure from the press or media?

A “yes” answer to any of these questions makes your Representative suspect and potentially unfit to serve. Have you, as a Citizen, ever asked your Representative any of these questions? It's time to start.

Please take close study of question #3. Every one of these People takes this Oath when they assume their Office:

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

I hope you read this very thoroughly. This is the basis of the Society in which we live. This is serious business, but it has become the content of 30-second sound bites in the current news cycle. Please think about it and decide what you will do to help correct it? We are the next 3% and we must accept our responsibility to all of Society. You, by the Grace of God, are here, at this time, in this place, to make a difference in the future of our Society. Thank You for being here!
