An article published yesterday, December 7, 2009 in Examiner.com's Fort Worth Edition asks readers if they would support a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which would essentially put members of Congress on the same legal playing field as all American citizens. 92% either agree or strongly agree with supporting such a concept.
The article presented information regarding the Constitution of the United States, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the other Amendments made to the Constitution over the last 200+ years. It then goes on to present a possible 28th Amendment which could read:
AMENDMENT XXVIII
"Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply
equally to United States Senators and those of the House of Representatives; likewise, Congress
shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to
the citizens of the United States."
A practical application is presented in regards to Government-run healthcare. The reader is then presented with a multiple-choice type Poll which asks whether he/she would support this type of Amendment.
With 200 individual votes tallied so far, the results are:
- Strongly Agree - 85% (170 votes)
- Agree - 7% (13 votes)
- Undecided - 1% (2 votes)
- Disagree - 3% (6 votes)
- Strongly Disagree - 5% (9 votes)

Heavens No! Some will say that a Constitutional Convention is not necessary for certain items. However, OBAMA's Administration
has been so heavily loaded with '..THE NON-AMERICAN TYPES....'
I wouldn't put it past them ...to ask for a Constitutional
Convention. That could open a real can of worms for die-hard
Taxpaying Americans!
Should this proposal somehow navigate our fathomlessly corrupt Congress' self-serving procedural mine-fields, you can bet the Reid/Pelosi-crats' Homicide Cure will vanish in two seconds from the Floor.
The United States government has become a lawless tyranny. Obama may think he can enslave Americans like sheep, but he and his Democrat co-conspirators are mistaken. We the People can either act peacefully to protect our lives, liberty, and property from these looters, or a man on horseback will arise to champion the cause of freedom by force of arms. The legal process had better start now.
Got something to say?
