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 The sixteenth amendment to the constitution is hereby repealed.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!!

Time To Give My Views on Chruches
I got an email today that triggered this. I need to ask that those of you that get my blog in their email to please post their comments on the blog site and not email me please, I will have to go back and post them and it is a lot of work to do so. You need to also understand that these views are my own and I stand behind them so if your going to try and start an argument that I should not be this way please understand this is from years of having to deal with the feelings, so lets try not to go there in your comments. With that said lets get started, (note that for some reason I can get the font from the email to change and it is going to look weird) and we start with the email I got in my email, and Thank you Pat for sending it to me and keep them coming, they are great, I was going to send this to just you but then I felt it better to post to my blog, and thank you for this as it gets some spent up feelings out of the way.
Now this is the Living Bible:
His name is Bill.. He has wild hair, wears a T-shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no shoes. This was literally his wardrobe for his entire four years of college.
He is brilliant.. Kind of profound and very, very bright. He became a Christian while attending college.
Across the street from the campus is a well-dressed, very conservative church. They want to develop a ministry to the students but are not sure how to go about it.
One day Bill decides to go there. He walks in with no shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair.. The service has already started and so Bill starts down the aisle looking for a seat. The church is completely packed and he can't find a seat. By now, people are really looking a bit uncomfortable, but no one says anything.
Bill gets closer and closer and closer to the pulpit, and when he realizes there are no seats, he just squats down right on the carpet.
By now the people are really uptight, and the tension in the air is thick.
About this time, the minister realizes that from way at the back of the church, a deacon is slowly making his way toward Bill.
Now the deacon is in his eighties, has silver-gray hair, and a three-piece suit. A godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very courtly. He walks with a cane and, as he starts walking toward this boy, everyone is saying to themselves that you can't blame him for what he's going to do.
How can you expect a man of his age and of his background to understand some college kid on the floor?
It takes a long time for the man to reach the boy.
The church is utterly silent except for the clicking of the man's cane. All eyes are focused on him.. You can't even hear anyone breathing... The
minister can't even preach the sermon until the deacon does what he has to do.
And now they see this elderly man drop his cane on the floor. With great difficulty, he lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and worships with him so he won't be alone.
Everyone chokes up with emotion.
When the minister gains control, he says, 'What I'm about to preach, you
'Be careful how you live. You may be the only Bible some people will ever read!'
His love is always with you, His promises are true, And when we give Him all our cares, You know He will see us through.
I wish that I could find a church near us like this, but we have been to every church here and because we cant tithe, or cant dress the way the people here do we are treated like we do not belong there, it is a sad day when I have realized that the only way for me and my family to have our faith and not be treated like we do not belong in their churches is to do what Jesus did and that is to spend the day with family and friends that feel the same way.
No wonder more people do not go to churches, someone once told me that the churches are full of hypocrites but I did not believe them, but now I do, guess that is why Jesus said in Mark, Mathew and John, "do not pray in the churches, and synagogues, as the hypocrites do but pray in private in a closet" this is stated with the Lord's Prayer. Which by the way only the Catholic churches sill preach is the only prayer you need to pray. I am not saying I am catholic, because I am not, I am a biblical religionalist meaning that I believe in the way that Jesus did it and that is with family and friends in my home. I choose this belief because of the way I have been treated in the churches. I also will stand and tell anyone who askes me the truth like I did saturday to a woman from the church that we were members of, I was treated badly at the church and I saw racialism in the church, and I can not attend a church that allows it to go on, I spoke with the elders and the pastor of the chruch about it and was told and I quote "he is one of the most highest tithing members of our church, we let him act the way he wants to" I told them that is hypocritical and I would never come back. and this brought about the changes in my life to become a biblicalist as I like to call it. So this brings me to my next point, that helped make these changes as well.
Not once have I ever heard a minster speak the facts that Jesus stood up in the synagogues and spoke against the taking of money, but I do hear the story of the person that God struck down in the church for not giving everything they owned to the church. It is my belief that God does not what our money but wants our love and faith and nothing else. It is time that the people of the world realize this, I say this as my example, there is the smallest country in the world and it is the richest as well, and the money is horded in banks not used for what it should be used for, and that is the caring of our neighbor, this country is the Vatican City, in the middle of Rome. the money the churches take in are meant to be used to help our neighbors, not grow our churches but that is what it is mainly used for. This is true for all churches they take in money and hoard it in banks but not help the people that they are required to help. all of this money is suppose to help the people in your communities, not meant to be horded in the banks to draw interest and make the churches wealthy. and my next point is that a true minister of God does not get paid to speak the word of God but is a volunteer of the word that he or she is putting out there. A true church of God survives by the people that are in it giving the things that the church needs to build it, the lumber, the electricity for its heat and lights, not the people or the church paying for it.
You know that I find it amazing that people can stand and say their atheist but then say they don't believe in god, there is only two people in this world that have said that God does not exist, and they are my ex-wife and George Carlin. These are the only to people that I have ever heard say those words allowed in public. George Carlin did it during one of his shows, and he said "I tried I really tried to believe in a supreme being but I just could not", and my ex-wife stood in a catholic church and did it, and that afternoon they excommunicated her. The strange part of this is they both were raised catholic, and that I just find strange. You will never ever hear me utter those words, but you will hear me talk of the Creator or the Great Spirit all being God, because I am also an American Indian, and not a Native American, (I can not handle the political correctness that they try to force me to use) and there is a miss conception among the American people, that is why the called us heathens, it is not and I'll save that for another time.
I guess there comes a time in every mans life that he has to stand up and say why he believes in the things that he does, and this is just a peice of they way that I believe in one of the things I do. As it is said in the bible, We are to believe in God in our own ways and this is my way of beleiving in God.

The Infomercials and their hype
How many of you have seen the infomercial that the Danbury Mint show on various TV stations for the presidential dollars, and please remember this is just one mans opinion of what these infomercials seem to be. The Danbury Mint is just the most recent one that I have seen, and they are starting to drive me crazy with the full of crap statements they are making. Since I am a coin collector it upset me that they stated that you can not find presidential dollars at a bank, well I called every bank in my small town and I called several banks in Memphis to include several of the major banks that are nationwide. All of the banks I called have these presidential dollars, but now for the key to what they would say is these are regarding the untrue statement is that there uncirculated dollars, well you can not get uncirculated dollars at any bank, you have to specially order them threw your bank. This is how you get them either in a full roll or a single coin, you can also contact the Treasury directly for the uncirculated coins as well. In the infomercial the woman in it states you can not find any of the presidential coins and then iterviews a bank manager, what a crock of out right lying to the consumer. You may have to do what I did to find the coins, I was told to call the main branch of my bank and a couple of the other local banks told me the same thing, and I found several of the Washington dollar to include full unopened rolls from the mint.
Now on to the others, there is a saying out there if it is to good to be true then it probably is not true to start with. With that said then why are these infomercials allowed in the first place. I called the FCC, and tried to find out all I got told was I could file a complaint. This is an out rage that infomercials are even allowed. The one that gets to me the most is the Cash Flow Business, this one drives me insane, along with the others that are along the same line, the real estate one, and any other one that says, "stop living paycheck to paycheck" if you buy into these programs you better do your research first. Remember that the first thing you have to have for any kind of business is at a minimum of ten percent of the start up cost of any business, then you need an CPA (certified public accountant) next you need a lawyer to write out your contracts, and when that is done your going to need a tax id along with a business licenses, next you have to find investors to have on had to buy these so called cash notes, then you have to find these notes to buy, oh but wait the infomercial says that you can do all of this with the packet we sell you. but the packet is just the beginning, your going to have to go to seminars an sit on the phone in conference call classes. That is if you want to achieve the amounts that these people in the infomercial say they make.
There are hundreds of infomercials shown every day on TV but you might be surprised to learn no one really governs what it fact and what is a fictitious infomercial product, meaning that there is not one government body or some kind of company out there protecting the consumer. I called the U.S. Consumer Protection Agency, and spoke with a really nice lady that explained to me that it has never been set up to control infomercials. I wish I had gotten her name so I could call her back with more questions. I also called the U.S. Attorney Generals Office and talked to them about infomercials, and the man I spoke with told they get thousands of complaints everyday, I asked why isn't there a agency that governs the people that put out these infomercials, it is after all the Attorney Generals Office to help protect the consumer from these types of things, it is after all no better than having a thief reaching into your pocket and taking your money. I was told that it would be up to us the consumer to get an agency appointed to control these infomercials. Which these days we all know trying to get our congress and senate to do anything for the people to protect them is like pulling teeth out of the mouth of a mule with out using anesthetic.
So what do we do, to start protecting our selves from these fast talking people in these infomercials? I have only one way and that is no matter what else is on change the channel to anything but an infomercial and watch the show that is on till the infomercial is over and your show comes on, if your TV is not on that channel then the TV stations will get a clue there losing people to watch there station and when that happens they lose money because they lose clients base on ratings for the content on the station at that time, the more they lose the sonner these infomercials will not be on TV any more.
For the record it has taken me two months to put together this article in my spare time, and it is something that I felt needed to be said. Remember if it sounds to good to be true, do the research to find out if it is true, and even then it is still going to be a lot of work to do.
There is no such thing as the no capital, you have to pay out money to make money, and there is no way to get rich quick, and that is the thing that all these infomercials are counting on.

The United States $700 Billion Bail Out Plan
For starters we all know from the past when our government bailed out GMAC and Ford Motor Credit that they became government companies, and that these employees get their pay checks in the names of the respected companies, but are in all since of the job, a government employee with government type benefits. The same type that the US Postal Service has. Also for the record our government bailed out the USPS in the 1930's during the depression and they became a government company.
So with that being said, here is how I think all of this should work. All Chairmen/woman of the board of directors, CEOs, Presidents and Vice Presidents all should be fired and held accountable for their action of their bad decisions. Just like if an employee in the lowest position of a company was to call in sick for the twentieth time without a doctors excuse. This is a bad decision by this employee and are usually fired and lose all benefits. These higher ups should be treated the same way.
All corporations that have foreign offices must have all these offices moved to the USA except for certain type of banks (I'll get to this in a moment) All foreign employees will have to be terminated. No moving former employees from outside the USA, unless they are U.S. Citizens, then they get to keep their job. If they are found to be involved in the bad decision making of the clasps of the company then they too lose their job. It does not matter who is involved in the clasp of a company they lose their job.
This is my plan of action that needs to be added to the bail out agreements that these companies must agree to in order for the U.S. government to assist in bailing them out of their bad decision making. Or they can file reconciliation bankruptcy, chapter 13 bankruptcy or just go out of business. The companies that agree to being bailed out must move all offices and manufacturing plants back to the United States. This is going to cause these country to lose jobs. This is not about those countries it is about our own country and our own people that are in need of jobs. Yes this is probably going to cause the cost of higher import tax into those countries, which is what our government should be doing. This tax can be covered by charging the customers in that country for the tax by including it in the price to buy the product. That is what happens to us when we buy a product made outside the USA, the company that imports product to the USA tacks on a small amount to the price to cover the lower import tax that the US Government charges that company.
All offices that are to be moved to the USA are to be split up between the fifty states starting with the highest unemployment states. As an example if a company has fifty offices out side the United States then the largest office would go to the highest unemployment state. This does not in any way count Washington D.C. the U.S. Virgin Islands, or any other outlying area that is claimed by the United States.
Now if a company that requests to bailed out by the United States and they have, lets say five offices outside the United States, this is even if it is a manufacturing plant. The company that is to be bailed out by the US and they only have the five offices mentioned, all five are manufacturing plants. The the states with the highest unemployment percentage would be given the first option to put in a sealed bid for the amount of taxes they would charge to have this office or plant in their state.
This would be done just as if they were biding on a government contract. The lowest bidder wins, and they would have to freeze that tax amount for ten years. Also the company that is bailed out by the United States for any reason can never again move any of its offices outside the United States. This protects the people of the United States from losing, their job unless this company finally closes its doors. This company cannot move its office or plant from the state that wins the bid for a set amount of fifty years to help keep jobs in that state.
It would be requirement of the company to contract with the same office that every government employee gets their benefits from. This would mean that the same office that supplies the medical insurance that the USPS (The United States Postal Service) uses would be the office that supplies this benefit. Also the company that is bailed is in not allowed to hire a foreigner unless that person become a U.S. citizen or is in the process of becoming a legal us citizen of the United States and has come to the United States by legal means.
This brings me to my finial example, Lets say a company wanted to bailed out and they came to the US government tomorrow and said we would like the US government to bail out our company, can you help us. The government says yes but you have to agree to these stringent rules and the company agrees. So now in this agreement the USA will assist in moving all office and plants back to the USA as well as restructuring the company. The company is also reminded that an investigation will be done into the company and all involved in the decision making of this company that are found to be the ones responsible for the bad decisions are going to be terminated and held accountable as well.
After the agreement is finished, then the governors of the states that have the highest unemployment rates are then notified that they can put in a sealed bid to have the office or plant moved to their state. The state must go to their Senate and Congress and set the amount of the bid for this office or plant. Once the bid is accepted and the US assigns the state that gets the bid then this state is also going to have to assist with the moving of the company and buying of land or office buildings for these offices.
Remember as these company offices are moved into the United States the unemployment rates are going to change in these states and they will be sooner than later become a lower unemployment state, so every state will become eligible to bid on these bail out companies. This means that once every state reaches a one percent unemployment rate then every state will be notified that there is a bid availability and the dead line for bidding.
Lets say Mississippi wins the bid for a company manufacturing plant, the state of Mississippi is then protected from this company moving its office or plant for fifty years. The only thing that can stop this protection is the fact that the company goes out of business. The State of Mississippi is then given a dead line for getting the plant built and once this plant is built then this company has to close its doors in the country that this plant is in and sell the building and any other property in that county, also this money goes back to the state government to help pay back the cost of the building of the plant or office buildings. This is meant to help protect these states from losing their money that the state's taxpayers paid in to the state.
Once the fifty years is met then the company has the right to move the plant or office to another state but not outside the Untied States. This is just my idea that should be added to the bill and every bail out plan that the United States Government does. Also the company must pay back a set amount that the United States Government sets. Also one other thing if the company is a bank that has branches in other countries the branches can stay in those countries but the company must open offices and branches in the State that wins the sealed bid and this bank must open a main branch in that state. This will assist in lowering the unemployment in the United States.
This is just a brief of my idea and it is my belief that it is time that the United States Government start looking out for its citizens and creating jobs for its citizens and to protect from this happening again in the United States.

Obama Blames Lobbyist, Politicians for Financial Crisis
Someone tell me if I am going crazy here....
Because the more I dig the more I am finding on how I agree with some (more than not) on the views of Obama. This does not mean that I have changed my vote as of yet. At this point I am still voting for the Consititutionalist Baldwin.
So here is the deal this morning I got this story in my email from CNN (CNN<---- click here) quick news that I get every morning. For the record I usally glance at it read the breifs that are included with the headlines and if it is important enough I read the article that is included with a link or I just delete the email.
Well this morning there was another story on Obama and his views on an issue. This one was on what this post is titled as. I have been intrigued as to how may times (and yes I am keeping track) that Obama opens his mouth and what comes out of it I agree with. Yes I know those of you that I have been in email conversations are saying "see I told you so", that is such an ugly phrase, but it happens to the best of us. Also if it comes down to it and I find that I am voting (OMG!! am I really saying this or contemplating this) for Obama then I will let it be known that "Hey I was wrong". So until that day comes please those of you that have been in these email conversations please hold the "I told you so" until then.
For the record this is the seventeenth thing that Obama has said that I agree with and Baldwin is still ahead by the huge margin of twenty-nine. There is also the fact of Obama's record, and the controversy of him not being allowed to run for office. Then there is the suit that was filed against him, that still has not been decided in court. Which I am keeping an eye on.
The other thing that has me making this post is that he (by his record, not just his mouth) is on the side of the military and the veterans of America. This is a big issue with me and you that have read my blog understand why.
So here is the deal, Obama may not be the candidate that I am going to vote for but I wanted to let it be know that I am starting to see why a lot of you may end up voting for him.
So we'll see where this leads, I will keep you informed. As for McCain I will never vote for him, not by his record of selling out America to the highest dollar that he can put in his pocket. Following the "Bush plan", Supporting bush in every way, Along with trying to give away "Citizenship" to the illegals! Which is one thing that Obama also voted for. So that is a minus against him.
Also I have to agree with a friend of mine that said "If Americans want to change the Senate, then change the Senator." I think that the Senator and Congressmen and women know this change is coming. Just like it did in the thirties when the American people were tired of the way things were being run into the ground.
I also still think that we the people need to get a bill on the ballot that forces the Senators and Congressmen and women to have to come before their state in an election every year for a raise. If we feel that they are not doing the job by the people for the people then they dont get their raise. Also if after three attempts and they do not get the raise then they have to step down and do not get the check every month, that they get now. Also I feel that they should only be allowed to hold office for two consecutive terms, just like the president. Not hold their office for life if they choose to run that long. But this is another topic for my blog... maybe tomorrow.
Ok as a friend said "that is my two cents worth!"
Have a great day everyone
