Trying to get things changed

My friend Phil Stacy , who is a passionate patriot sent the following to me.

Proposed Amendment 28 to the US Constitution!**

**"Congress shall make no law that applies to any citizen of the United States that does not apply equally to all US Senators and Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to any US Senator or Representative that does not apply equally to all citizens of the United
States . All existing laws and regulations that do not meet these criteria shall be declared null and void!"***

Only problem is, that congress are the ones who make and enact constitutional amendments. At the same time, they have denied we the people the right to the initiative and referendum process that most states have. And if you think those folks are going to give us that power over them, you have another think coming.

There are two ways to make them listen. #1. the ballot box, and #2. armed revolution.

The media, who is pretty well controlled by the political parties selects who will win elections. Witness: Obama.

#2. won't work, because the United States Government WILL NOT allow that to happen. They will go so far as to use "The Bomb" on those who revolt. Outside of that, it's an awfully good idea.

I often worry about the direction our great nation is taking. If you want to know the truth, I feel pretty powerless. I can see changes coming to us that are very detrimental to our freedoms.

I am very against socialism. In and of itself, it's not a bad idea. Unfortunately, greedy power hungry people soon control it, and soon become dictatorial. As a free, independent American, I can't live with that.

Capitalism is a good thing, but without regulation, it is controlled by greedy, power hungry people, who, when allowed, become dictatorial. I can't live with that either.

I think my friend has an awfully good idea. The US Constitution should apply equally to all the people. Those in power, and those who are not.

I don't believe that political parties should be allowed to run the country. In essence, they are merely a group of people who band together to get someone elected who shares their point of view. In fact, political parties have become so strong that they control the government. Somehow I can't quite see that as a very good idea.

Do I have any solutions? How about one person, one vote. No electorial college. Direct elections only. make all the media, radio, TV, newspapers, etc be fair in their coverage of those running for office.

Answer to that? Fat Chance.

Oh, well, it's a nice day on the farm.
