I got an email today stating that there is a proposal to the constitution, This email states:

Amendment 28

Congress shall make no law that to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the senators and the representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators that do not apply equally to the Citizens of the United States.

I am ok with that but when I did a search for it and I found that there is no proposal or even an amendment 28 in the constitution. So I guess this would be considered a joke email. I did however find a site proposing the 28

Amendment to be:

Amendment 28
Section 1. The sixteenth amendment to the constitution is hereby repealed.
Section 2. An individual's income, from whatever source is free from any direct tax by the federal government of the United States. In no way shall a report of income be required of the United States.
Section 3. Indirect taxes collected should be apportioned among the several States with regard to census or enumeration.

Something neither of these added to their proposals is that there is a paragraph that needs to be in all amendments this being, This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States. Without that statement then the amendment is not actually passed by law or an amendment to the constitution of our great nation.

 

You see the states must ratify an amendment to the constitution. If they fail to do so in a timely manner then the amendment is null and void and would have to go before congress and the senate again until the states ratify it, and without ratification of an amendment, then the amendment fails. So if either of these amendments was actually added to the requests of Congress and they passed then they would go to the Senate, and if the senate passed them then they would go before the Governors of each state. The Governors then have to sign the amendment and if three fourths of the states do not sign the amendment, then the amendment still fails, you can see when most amendments to the Constitution of the United States passed by reading this site http://www.gpoaccess.gov/constitution/html/conamt.html this is an official government site of the amendments to our constitution that list most of the amendments by amendment and then list the state and date at the end of each amendment.

So if all of the above amendments were put into place then from the point that they were ratified the senators and congress men and women would thereby be subject to the laws that they pass. Something that has not been in effect for years, you see the Congressmen/woman and Senators of our great nation are above the law, just like our judges. It has become a sad time for America that our law makers and law enforcers, meaning the judges, and our president and vice president are all above the law; they cannot be arrested in any country and cannot be detained for anything they do. Which gives the president the right to commit any crime he/she feels they want to break and there is nothing that can be done to them until congress and the senate impeach the president, or vice president. This is also something that I think should be added to an amendment because this country was founded by the people for the people, they should have the right to call a special election by ballot of the states to remove the president and the congress/men and women and the senators of our government at any time that the majority of the people feel he/she is not working in the best interest of the people to which elected him or her.

I feel personally that if an amendment to the constitution was to be put forth for our constitution it should be this:

Amendment to the Constitution of the United States,
Section 1. Hereby gives the power of the people of the United States back to the people of the United States by, allowing them to call for their governor of each state to call a special election to remove any Congressman/woman, Senitor from office
Section 2. The people of the United States hereby have the right to remove any Vice President or President from office by special election if at any time three fourths of the nation of the people feels that the Vice President or President is not acting for the people by the people.
Section 3. The Congress or Senate no longer has the right to vote for themselves a pay raise, they must go to their state and ask for a special election from the people of their state that they are elected, for a pay raise. After the second time of asking for a pay raise fails, there will be a special election held to see if the people want to replace the Congressman/woman or senator in there state. When the special election is passed an second special election shall be held to vote for a new person to fill the vacated position.
Section 4. The President will only receive a pay raise at the time of election, and at no time while in office can the President be give a raise until three fourths of the Congress and Senate have been given a raise by their State.
Section 5. The Congress and the Senate or the President or Vice President can not in any way change this amendment without the vote of the people of the United States in an election or special election of the people.
Section 6. The Congressmen/woman, the Senators, Vice President and President shall pay taxes in the amounts of twenty percent on all income while in office, and at no time can they amend the Constitution to change the right not to pay taxes or the amount of taxes on their income while in office.

This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by three fourths of the States in the United States.

This is the first amendment I would put forth to the people of the United States the next one I would put before the people of the United States would be

Amendment to the Constitution
Section 1. the sixteenth amendment is amended.
Section 2. The people of the United States are to pay a flat tax of one percent of income in federal tax on all income earned from employment or by self employment.
Section 3. All other taxes are hereby amended to zero taxes from the people
Section 4. If at anytime that the Congress or Senate feel that the tax needs to be increased the Congress must call for a special election of the people of the United States to change the income tax.
Section 5. There shall be no longer any tax returns or tax filings given by the United States for the taxes on income.

This Article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by three fourths of the states of the United States.

This amendment is a belief that the money for the government has to come from somewhere to pay our government people. I also believe that an amendment to the Constitution should be made to stop our government from bailing out business that their people make bad decisions, it is up to companies to bail themselves out of the mess that they make for themselves. I also think that an amendment to the constitution should be made to abolish the FED (also known as the Federal Reserve) along with an amendment to allow for health care in the form that it is the same health care that is used by the congress and senators now and should be supplied by the insurance companies out there now and in the future, it is the right of the people to be healthy not a privilege of those with money to be healthy, but I also think it is not the right of the government to be in the people lives. It should be up to that person to choose how much of that care they wish to use. It should be provided at no cost to anyone all health care should free for all, but the only way to do that is either pass an amendment to the constitution to allow for the states to pay the companies that provide it or have the government pay the fees to those companies or to pass a law that says that there will be no cost for health care in the nation by any doctor or hospital. I also feel that that it should be that way when it comes to lawyers too. It should not cost anything to have to be represented in court by a lawyer, they have that to a point, all lawyers must give a certain amount of time out as pro bono but every attorney I know has a way around that by doctoring their books that they are taught in school.

If the government was to make health care free to everyone what would that do to our current health care system? That is the biggest worry I have right now when it comes to this issue. We have the best health care in the world or so we are lead to believe. So what would happen to it? How many doctors would leave the profession to find another line of work to pay their bills and supply their way of life. I believe that thousands would leave and thousands of medical students would leave school to move to another profession. I am also a believer of Star Trek type of lifestyle of society that everything should be free, but until the replicator is made it will never happen. Because the replicator is the key to that kind of society, and without the ability to have every person in America to have everything that is made available to them free would destroy are way of life. Also until the entire world comes around to the belief that everything should be free to everyone it also will not happen unless we cut our country off from the rest of the world in the aspect of importing anything and everything, but again we would have to have the replicators in everyone's hands.

Even with all this said we have to have the support of enough people across America to force our government people to pass such amendments and for that would take an extreme amount of phone calls and faxes and an extreme amount of originations like the Campaign for Liberty.

Blessed be our free nation! And may the Tree of Liberty quench it thirst in these days of tyrants!!
