		<description>B. Johnson. You make some good points.

But, thankfully, Americans are waking up. We are starting to take action against our country's slide into socialism.

The survivors of the Civil War that Obama is fomenting, will teach their children the importance of the constitution and that we are, in fact, a constitutional republic.

Senator DeMint is clearly a leader in this fight to preserve freedom and capitalism. But, there are many battles still before us. The proponents of tyranny and socialism will not simply concede defeat to the overwhelming will of we, the people.</description>

		<description>As a side note, consider that the main problem with constitutionally unauthorized Obamacare is actually not the Oval Office and Congress, IMO, but the people.  More specifically, US citizens have evidently not been teaching the Constitution and its history to their children for many generations, particularly the constitutionally enumerated principle of state sovereignty.  Consequently, the people do not understand that since the federal Constitution is silent about programs like Obamacare and the Stimulus Package, the 10th A. automatically reserves government power to regulate and lay taxes for such things to the states, not the Oval Office and Congress.

In fact, Chief Justice Marshall had established the following case precedent, now wrongly ignored, which appropriately limits the power of the feds to lay taxes.

&lt;blockquote&gt;"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." --Chief Justice Marshall, &lt;a href="http://supreme.justia.com/us/22/1/case.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;GIBBONS V. OGDEN (1824)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

So not only is misguided Obama's proposed healthcare constitutionally unauthorized, but the corrupt Congress never had the power to lay taxes to fund such a program in the first place.

What's going on is that state sovereignty-ignorant voters have been electing lawmakers to both the state legislatures and the federal senate who are as state sovereignty-impaired as the voters are.  Consequently, these lawmakers have not been doing their jobs to protect state sovereignty by protecting citizens from the power-hungry, tax-loving, Constitution-ignoring "leaders" (crooks) running the federal government.

Finally, the following link should help give people an idea as to how state sovereignty-ignorant voters have shot themselves in the foot with big, corrupt federal government.

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=199792" rel="nofollow"&gt;The 16th &amp; 17th Amendments and the big, corrupt fed. gov.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Bill-tb: You're quite welcome.

I enjoyed the event myself. In the days and weeks ahead, as the ObamaCare ad campaigns fill the airwaves, it will be nice to have this historical record to refer to ... regarding a true alternative.</description>
