The Declaration of Independence
This beautifully written document list the twenty-eight grievances the colonist had with King George. The signers pledged their fortunes, their lives and their sacred honor. Some did lose their fortunes and some lost their lives but none lost their honor. This precious document should be read every Independence Day in remembrance of those brave men and to remind us what a gift we have in America!

The Constitution
The Supreme Law of the Land for a new nation, under God, formed for the people to protect the people of all their God given rights. After spirited discussion and debate and some compromised, the Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787 and ratified in 1791. The powers of the federal government are FEW and DEFINED. The first three words of the document is where the power actually lies…. WE THE PEOPLE!

The Solution is the Constitution
The Constitution was the remedy for the Founding Fathers and signers of the Declaration of Independence. The U.S. Constitution is the remedy for today. We have been blessed with a document that if read and studied, is very easy to understand. The U.S. Constitution (Article, Section, Clause) states specifically what the Federal government can do. When followed it works quite well for ALL!

FNAQ: Frequently Not Asked Questions
To Candidates running for office:
-
“Democracy is like two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch” is a quote from Benjamin Franklin. Too many politicians today refer to the United States as a democracy. Democracy is not in the Constitution, but the word Republic is. The second part of this question should be, do you understand that it is a document that limits the federal government. The Constitution clearly states that elected officials are to represent the People.
-
When asked by the people after the Constitutional Convention, “What have you given us?” Benjamin Franklin replied “A Republic if you can keep it!” What he meant by this is that the people must stay engaged and informed in order for the United States to remain a Republic! The people must elect only those people who will vote constitutionally and refrain from areas that they have no authority whatsoever. Those members who vote unconstitutionally should be replaced, and quickly. When representatives ignore their limited powers, whether intentionally or by ignorance, it is dangerous. For when usurpation begins it never stops.

Article VI of U.S. Constitution is very clear and if you look at man’s sinful nature, you might wonder why there has not been more impeachment of judges!
-
“That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, “ Strait from the Declaration of Independence!
We the People are the governed, therefore we have the power and delegate it (the power) to our elected officials and have the authority (the power) to take that power back or resend it.

Article I, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution: . The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote……Changed by 17th Amendment and should be repealed!
The original intent of the Senate was to protect the States which would include keeping the Federal government from encroaching on the state’s authority or in other words, getting out of their lane! That is also why State legislators chose their senators originally but was changed by the 17th Amendment.

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.
What does this mean? I t means that “ALL” the power to legislate resides in Congress and leaves NO power to legislate or make laws to the executive branch or the judicial branch. No executive orders by a president are law or judicial opinions by the courts are law. That is why they are called “orders” and “opinions” because they are NOT Law and We the People ought to know that and certainly should not abide by them!
