Federalist Papers 21st Century
Dear Congressman or Senator:
We are tired and weary of voting for you because every time we do, we lose more of our freedom. As an example, look at the following. You should be familiar with it because you swore to defend it.
BILL OF RIGHTS (Abridged)
Article I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I looked hard at the above paragraph and I couldn’t find anything that says there should be a “wall of separation between church and state”. Did I miss something or did the lawyers place it somewhere else in the fine print.
It says Congress shall not abridge the freedom of speech. The Campaign Finance law says we can’t say anything about a Congressman or Senator 60 days before an election. Isn’t that what free speech was all about? The founding fathers wanted us to be able to talk about the rascals.
Article IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Along comes the Patriot Act. I didn’t see anything in Article 4 that says the Government can come into my house without my permission and without me knowing and search my house, papers and effects. They don’t even have to tell me they were there. They can even take “stuff” if they like and they can call it evidence. Of course this is nothing new. There have been many instances the Government has done that and then never charge the person with a crime and never give them back their papers and effects.
Article V
No person……………… nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation.
Along came the Kelo Case and you know what? Taxes and profit became more important than property rights. I know I didn’t type out the complete 5th amendment, but try as I might, I couldn’t find the words that private property could be confiscated for a shopping mall. You know what? There weren’t any shopping malls in 1796. That’s why the Founding Fathers didn’t put that clause in there.
Article X
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
Try as I might, I couldn’t find anything in the Constitution or Bill of Rights saying that the Federal Government had the right to run public schools. That right should be left to each individual State. Just look at the products of our schools controlled by the Federal Department of Education.
Why don’t you see us protesting in the streets? The reason is that we are working full time jobs. Some of us are working two jobs to make as much as we used to make with one job. We are paying taxes for those people running through the streets with Mexican flags and flying the American flag upside down. We are working to buy the products of those companies that hire illegal aliens.
We have nothing against legal aliens. Most of us had grandparents who came to this country legally!
On your watch Congressmen, we had our liberties and rights diminished. I am sorry, I see no reason to vote for you. Maybe someone else will help return what you’ve taken away from us.

There IS an energy crisis and we have to start thinking outside the box and not say different fuels won't work. Some bizarre fuels have been patented.
A new Zealand inventor by the name of Archie Blue patented a process to use water as a fuel. He did this in 1979. Witnesses from England's Royal Automobile Club announced that the car did indeed run on water and was getting 100 miles per gallon. Where is this technology today? It has been suppressed!
Does anyone know anything about Archie Blue or this process?
