Its Happening
« on: August 10, 2009, 09:50:05 PM »
I have feared this for some time and last night it started, LOCALY! 

A local who we have been warned about for months finaly went off the deep end and took his kids and ex-wife hostage.  The standoff with SWAT lasted about 14hours and by the grace of God no one was killed.  Looks like he now faces multiple charges, to include kidnapping.

Depression, Alcohol, Jobless etc are all to blame, as well as total loss of faith in our government according the what the police are saying. 

I am afraid its going to get worse unfortunatly.

They already are, Kirk.  Here on the Left Coast, one of our reps had to sneak out the back door of a firehall at the coast, to get away from the folks confronting him with valid questions.

Sent this to our congressman a couple days ago.


Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution clearly lists the powers granted to Congress and NO WHERE does it authorize them to use my tax dollars on Health Care.

Since The power to regulate citizen's medical care isn't included among enumerated powers, government does not have the authority to impose a single-payer system.

I beg of you to stand up and fight for our constitutional foundation and stop this treading on our freedom.  We are tired of giving them up one by one.  Where does it end?
 
PLEASE stand up and be heard as a leader who brought our country back to the constitutional foundation it was established under!

Thank you.
