This title is what must be said at all cost.
Political speeches of “a balanced approach” have finally awakened knowledge in the American population of what an imbalance it is for government to keep taking our money, as though Obama is the “Pick-Pocket-In-Chief.”
Language, the constant of communication, exposes the truth that Government's “Balance” is determined by the Will Of The People, and not by the government, and particularly the President himself. In fact the “balance” of government is the whole point of 3 branches of government, set in writing, by Our Written Constitution.
Maybe the fact the President has continued to wear the Community Organizer hat, doing all he can to agitate the American people, with constant emergencies and a never-ending need to tell us “What I want...”, as though Congress and the American People as taxpayers are there to carry out his will, has finally led to exposing the truth of his “change” to the American People.
Let's make sure we understand that Congress has no duty to give the President one dime by any means, and that revenues are entirely in the hands of the House to determine:
“All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.” – Emphasis mine, http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html.
This was done to assure all taxation is per Our Will to be taxed, that the tax, and purpose for the tax imposed, is begun by us, designed by us, and voted on by us in representation via the House of Representatives. Our Founders did not want the States using the Senate, nor the President to carry on by dictatorship, a taxation without representation, without something in exchange, and solely for purposes of increasing government revenues by absorption of the private property of the American People against Our Will.
Note that there is no mention of the President Of The United States or the Senate as having any authority whatsoever to originate, to be the source in any way, of any proposal to raise money for the United States Government? The President, in particular, has absolutely no authority. The Senate's authority is limited to being a mechanism of Amendment after the fact… Amendment in efforts to negotiate between House and Senate after the House has passed a revenue act (a bill that hasn't been passed is “dead” and, therefore, cannot be amended).
And this takes us to “Cut, Cap, & Balance.” This bill was passed by the House recently, and includes the only “balanced approach” out there: A Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. Harry Reid has denied all opportunity to bring this bill, passed by the House, to the Senate floor for debate & amendment, using his party's control of the Senate to procedurally vote to “table” the bill -- one Senator controlling what will or will not be heard, an absolute power not granted by the Constitution, and consistently abused by Harry Reid according to history.
First, Mr. Reid used this power in 2008, in direct violation of Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution, to pass the bank bailout bill as an Amendment to a Senate bill after failure to pass in the House, http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.2.
Next, and most notable due to the debt ceiling issue now being a “crisis,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has used this power to not bring up, let alone pass, a budget for over 800 days. Apparently Harry Reid doesn't take his legal obligation and Honor of serving in office at the pleasure of the American People seriously, and now, after his re-election, his willful, intentional, and outright illegal conduct, continues to aid America’s enemies, whether he knows it or not. Who here thinks Al Qaeda & Co., isn't watching our debt woes with bated breath, and ready to claim some sort of victory amongst their followers, drawing a line of relation between today and 9/11 as a means to bolster morale amongst their ranks?
And finally, let us not forget that Harry Reid, in the interest of Obama and his party, and again, irrespective of the Voice and Will of the American People, took the healthcare law as passed by the House, and illegally brought it to a vote by reconciliation. The illegality derives from the U.S. Justice Department arguing the individual mandate a tax pursuant to the Commerce Clause, and thus the Healthcare Bill was not scrutinized properly as a tax prior to the legislative votes nor President’s signature, and thereby is again a violation of Art I, Section 7, of the Constitution, http://changingwind.org/index/comment.php?comment.news.121.
This historical record of the illegality of Harry Reid is a history little different than any other Majority Leader of the Senate, yet, the magnitude in growing government and increasing our government spending that has been carried on by Harry Reid's control of what reaches the floor in the Senate and that President Obama has rubber-stamped, is of many magnitudes greater effect in detriment to Individual Liberty by consolidation of power in the National Government.
The current “debt ceiling crisis,” that Tim Geithner was able to manipulate government employee union investment in treasury bills to secure 300 billion for one month to avoid (http://changingwind.org/index/news.php?extend.171.2), is entirely avoidable by Harry Reid simply performing his Constitutional Duty as a Senator, to bring the House passed Cut, Cap, & Balance to the Senate floor, for full open debate and amendment. Thereafter, when it passes according to the Will Of The American People, this debt ceiling “crisis” is over, at least once President Obama sets aside what HE wants, to instead do the People's business by signing the bill into law, a bill that received its due on the House and Senate floors with full discussion by open floor debates and opportunities to amend and negotiate, featuring the Voice and Will of The American People. Amazing what could be done if a few dishonorable men monopolizing power would do their Constitutional Duty to the American People instead, but then there'd be no crisis “not to let go to waste” for whatever Progressive political purposes can be gained in the process of “negotiation by agitation.”
Conclusion
Our Constitution wasn't written to be ignored, or to be claimed by Government as their property.
Our Constitution was written for us to use in measure of the actions of those in Washington, to then use all means necessary to facilitate Our Will Over Government!
And for the “knee-jerkers” out there, this is not a call to arms. It is a call to remember We The People are not the servants to Our Government, and that the only way the Constitution is a “living document” is through the Will of The People, we who originated and instituted government as our servant.
Decide: are you a slave to a Government whose claims to power are built upon continually violating the very charter of their power and authority? Or are you a master, of your own life, your own property, your own destiny, and thereby, of the Government of The United States Of America, who will uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic?
Again, this isn't a call to arms, it is a recognition that those in Washington for party and prestige, causing seats of power to be the institution of government, act as enemies to America, enemies to the American People, giving aid and comfort to our enemies abroad by these well publicized self-aggrandizing actions under color of an office of American government that they serve in. Theirs is a duty that assumes no relation to service at Our Pleasure, by actions that reveal their duty is not for Purpose according to the American People, for Honor, to carry on their duty with Integrity, and in the Character of America's fundamental principle of Individual Liberty.
The only voluntary servitude in America is public office, and it is high time we taught our servants their place, that we re-instill the intention and purpose of Government of, by, and for, The People, as we instituted it by Our Written Constitution.
Oh, and to those thinking this is just heat being put on an African-American, I submit that it is “this President,” whose past is riddled with corrupt political, socialist, communist, terrorist, and criminal relationships, has excessively pressed the envelope of government growth and its expense in course of the agenda of the company he keeps, who, in all cases, have no respect for Individual Private Property Rights. It is this President who continues to value these people and their ideological position, to which he calculated there would be this push-back by the American People and that President Obama is relying on you to claim his race the cause, an erroneous shield he knows you'll invoke to protect him no matter what wrong he commits against America by violating our Constitution and The Will of the American People.
