Taking Back Control
Years ago, it came to me, the vision and the understanding thereof, that not only identified the social problems of this nation and their causes but the solutions to said problems, as well. Fixing this social barrier, in pursuit of life, has got to be the greatest possible human achievement; worth sacrificing myself and all that is mine.

I say to the American People that you have the right to choose the system that you want to be governed by and under but you do not have the right to impose that system on others, especially when that system denies them the fruits of life. Knowing this truth that I share with you, I claim the freedom and liberty for all that are mine, to access the reservoir of goods and services as they see fit and I expect the American public, through their Representatives, to concur. Others may follow, if they are so encouraged or maintain the status quo for themselves for as long as they choose.

1. With the exception of pre-existing or natural, inherent, inalienable/unalienable rights, a simple
majority has the authority to make all laws for all who reside in these United States.

3. wrong
The US is supposed to have a republican form of governemnt. A simple majority can only make laws within the framework of the Constitution. But it ain't working that way any more.

2. Is our Right
Edited on Sat Dec-05-09 11:16 AM by Dreamorpheus
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" ~Jefferson

"self-evident, that all men are created equal"
:All men(Human) are Equal.
"'that they are endowed''with certain unalienable Rights,''Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.'"
:All men have equal Rights.
"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men"
: Governments primary standing order, to secure Equal Rights for all men;
Government is to be of the people, by the people, for the people.
"deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"
:Governments powers are given by the governed(men), and exists only under the consent of man.

We are all agree thus far, Right? This what the above states, correct?
Well is any of the above congruent with the government you know today?
What is going on in government is contrary to what was proposed when it was created, and by the same doctrine that Brought it into existence, will be removed.
