Constitutional Principles

jlmartin — Tue, 23 May 2006 00:37:03 -0600

We shall seek to reform our electoral, lobbying, and campaign practices to ensure that our elected government officials and our candidates owe their allegiance and remain accountable to the people whom they are elected to serve rather than other influence-seeking agencies.
We shall require ethical conduct by all our government officials with respect to the acceptance of rewards from special interests seeking to influence government during or following their terms of public service.

I'm aware of three candidates running for District 67 of the Kansas House. All three profess the Christian faith. Upon what basis will the candidates practice their faith if elected?

Join Me in Faxing Congress to Stop Fascist ObamaCare and Obey Their Oath of Office

jlmartin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 09:33:35 -0700

The Fascists and Lobbyists are calling Congress continuously to Vote Against the Constitution and For Fascist National "Health Care"!

Please contact me to give me your name and district info (US Rep district #, zip-code, county, address, whatever), so that I can add you to the list of senders instructing and advising our elected officials to ignore the bankers, corporations, and their lobbyists and minions in the White House; to vote against and stop any unconstitutional acts; and to investigate those officials that are violating their oaths and betraying their constituents, our country, and all of us.

Now is the time to renew our efforts to contact our Representatives and Senators on your behalf and tell them to reject the Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Socialized, Abortion-Funding, Taxing-and-Arresting, End-of-Life-Counseling, Insurance- and Pharmaceutical-Company-Pleasing, Criminally Fraudulent "Health" Care Bill.

Body of Faxed Message

RE: I Instruct You to Stop National HealthCare and Obey Your Oath!

I Instruct you to Stop both the current healthcare plan on the table and plans of using the reconciliation process to make it even easier to sell out America to special interests, including Big Pharma and the Major Insurance companies.

DON'T VIOLATE YOUR OATH OF OFFICE WHEREIN YOU SWORE TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AGAINST ALL ENEMIES FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

SCRAP THE CURRENT HEALTH CARE PLAN!

ANY SUCH FEDERALLY IMPOSED HEALTH CARE PLAN IS OUTSIDE THE LIMITED POWERS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

FORCING AMERICAN PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES TO PARTAKE IN A SERVICE AGAINST THEIR WILL IS NOT COMMERCE BUT TYRANNY!

INVESTIGATE THE COLLUSION AMONG CORPORATE INTERESTS AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS TO VIOLATE THE CONSTITUTION OPENLY AND WITH CONTEMPT FOR OUR RIGHTS!

Americans rightly reject any socialized or mandated plan that takes away each one's right to choose (by including a public option; or individual mandates; or imposition of fines, taxes, and/or prison time).

Americans rightly reject any unconstitutional seizure of power that dramatically increases the reach and size of the federal government. We want less government - not more!

The American voters want actions in Congress that are constitutional and that do not sell our country out to banks and corporations!

We are watching your actions in Congress:

Either you will fulfill your oath of office and defend us against these assaults by special-interests, banks, corporations, their lobbyists, and the sell-out traitors among you that are violating their oaths and assisting in the assaults upon their constituents' rights and property,

Or you will join in the ranks of the piratical plunderers that are robbing and enslaving your constituents and all Americans in the service of the anti-American banking, pharmaceutical, chemical, insurance, and penal industries.

Americans are not obliged to obey illegal, unconstitutional acts. We will be working to impeach and/or indict the officials that have conspired to deprive us of our God-given, constitutionally protected rights and freedoms, including life, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness.

Join Me in Faxing Congress to Reject the Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Socialized "Health" Care Bill

jlmartin — Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:19:09 -0700

I faxed the following message to several US Representatives and Senators, in my name, and in the name of others that agree.

Please let me know if you want me to send similar faxes to the some or all of the Representatives and Senators on your behalf. Join me in telling them to reject the Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Socialized, Abortion-Funding, Taxing-and-Arresting, End-of-Life-Counseling, Insurance- and Pharmaceutical-Company-Pleasing, Criminally Fraudulent "Health" Care Bill.

Body of Faxed Message

RE: REJECT Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Socialized "Health" Care!

You can Still Stop the Attempt to Force Socialized Health Care with Government-Mandated Health Insurance on American Men and Women and Businesses.

The Plans currently being Pushed by the Democratic Leadership on Behalf of Major Insurance and Pharmaceutical Companies would Impose Rationing through Un-Elected Committees; Force All Americans to Buy High-Priced, Low-Quality, Politically-Created Health Insurance; Establish "End-of-Life" Panels that Recommend Despair and Death; Create an Economically Unsustainable Government-Run Insurance Plan that Will Force Small, Private Companies out of Business; Use Taxpayer Funds to Insure Illegal Aliens; and Impose Economy-Crushing Taxes and Liberty-Killing Prison-Terms.

In Pursuing this Illegal, Un-Constitutional, Corporate-Monopoly-Building Bill, the Tactics for Obtaining Support for this Bill have been Secrecy, Back-Room Deals, Extortion, "Cash for Cloture," and Other Illegal Political Pay-Offs -- Exposing the Bald-Faced Lies that the Health-Care Debates would be Open and Transparent, and Ignoring the Polls showing that the Majority of Americans are OPPOSED to ANY Attempts to Impose Government-Controlled and Mandated Health-Care.

In Your Oath of Office, You Swore to Defend the Constitution Against All Enemies Foreign and Domestic, Including Those that Bribe Elected Officials for Their Own Interests.

Join Me in Faxing Senators That Bald-Faced Lies Do Not Make Traitorous Bills "Constitutional"

jlmartin — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 14:11:55 -0700

I faxed the following instruction/admonition to several US Senators, in my name, and in the name of others that agree.

Please let me know if you want me to send similar faxes to the some or all of the senators on your behalf. Join me in telling Senators that a Traitorous Bill is not "Constitutional" just because a few officials tell Bald-Faced Lies that it is.

Body of Faxed Letter

You Can Still STOP the Un-Constitutional, Socialist, Insurance-Company-Serving, Care-Rationing, End-of-Life-Counseling, Un-Affordable Health Care Bill.

An Un-Constitutional Bill that Attempts to Impose Mandatory Personal Choices with Heavy Taxes and Punitive Fines and Prison Terms Outside the Limited Federal Powers Defined in the Constitution Does Not Become “Constitutional” simply because Bald-Faced Liars Say So.

To Senators other than Harry Reid:
You must have known that Harry Reid's “Cash For Cloture” Scheme was Illegal, and you were Right. Here is at least one federal law that he violated:
To Senator Harry Reid:
Your “Cash For Cloture” Scheme to pass the Un-Constitutional Health Care Bill was not just Un-Ethical; it was also Illegal:

US Code, Title 18, Part I, Chapter 29, Section 597:

Whoever makes or offers to make an expenditure to any person, either to vote or withhold his vote, or to vote for or against any candidate; and

Whoever solicits, accepts, or receives any such expenditure in consideration of his vote or the withholding of his vote:

Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

Join Me in Telling Senators That Obeying Their Oath of Office is Not "Something Wrong"

jlmartin — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 21:14:31 -0700

I faxed the following instruction/admonition to several US Senators, in my name, and in the name of others that agree.

It is outrageous that Senator Harry Reid would openly bribe US Senators to violate their oath of office with our own tax money, and on Christmas Eve, no less, so that vigilant Americans must choose between family gatherings and instructing treacherous officials. And Harry Reid then stated publicly that there must be "Something Wrong" with any Senators that didn't accept his bribes of specially and Un-Constitutionally appropriated "pork."

Please let me know if you want me to send similar faxes to the some or all of the senators on your behalf. Join me in telling Senators that there is Nothing "Wrong" with obeying their Oath of Office.

Body of Faxed Letter

RE: Obeying Your Oath of Office is NOT "Something Wrong With You"

I Instruct You to STOP the Un-Constitutional, Socialist, Insurance-Company-Serving, Care-Rationing, End-of-Life-Counseling, Un-Affordable Health Care Bill.

To Senators other than Harry Reid:
Harry Reid shamelessly admitted that he believes that "there is Something Wrong" with any senator that didn't benefit from his "pork-fest" of buying treacherous, oath-violating votes with US TaxPayers' money.
To Senator Harry Reid:
Shame on You, Harry Reid! You Lobby Our Elected Officials to Vote Against Our Interests and Against Their Oath of Office to Defend the Constitution Against Domestic Enemies, Like Yourself. You Bribe Our Elected Officials With Special Appropriations, Which is Un-Constitutional. You Publicly State of Senators who Heroicly Rejected Your Treacherous Bribes that "There is Something Wrong With Them."

"Something Wrong" with Obeying Your Oath of Office?! By corollary, that means that accepting Treacherous Un-Constitutional Bribes is "Something Good."

Join Me in Faxing Senators to Reject Un-Constitutional Socialized Health Care

jlmartin — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 11:29:12 -0700

I have faxed this message to several US Senators that can make a difference on the Health Care vote.

If you want me to send similar faxes on your behalf to these Senators and your own Senators, give me your contact info to include on the fax, and any notes on the message, and I can submit them.

Body of Faxed Message

You Can Stop the Un-Constitutional Health Care Bill. Obey your Oath of Office rather than Selfish Corporate and Globalist Interests.

This plan would create rationing through government committees, force all Americans to buy over-priced, politically created health insurance, establish “end-of-life” panels, create an economically unsustainable government-run insurance plan, use taxpayer funds to insure illegal aliens, and impose economy-crushing taxes. More than 88 million Americans could LOSE their private, employer-based coverage. Yearly premiums for Americans with private coverage could jump as much as $460 per person as a result of more cost-shifting. ...

This is Outrageous, Outside the Limited Federal Powers, and Un-Constitutional, and Your Oath of Office Instructs You to Stop it.

Do the RIGHT thing: REJECT H.R. 3962 (the “Affordable Health Care for America Act”), S.1796 (the “Healthy Families Act”), and/or any OTHER attempt to force socialized health care or government-mandated health insurance on Americans.

Join Me in Instructing Senators NOT To Give In To Executive Pressure But Rather To Vote NO on ObamaSCare S.1796

jlmartin — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 08:06:35 -0700

I faxed the following admonition against voting for ObamaCare/ObamaSCare/O-No-Care to multiple US Senators, since I heard about a Nebraska Senator getting threatened with the withdrawal of a military base from his state if he didn't support it.

Please let me know if you want me to send similar faxes to the same or other senators on your behalf.

Body of Faxed Letter

The Imposition of any Mandatory National Health System upon all Americans and American Businesses would be Outside the Limited Powers of the Federal Government and therefore Un-Constitutional.

Even if Not Mandatory, the Collection of Taxes for such a System and the Allocation of Federal Funds and Resources to Implement such a System would be Outside the Limited Powers of the Federal Government and therefore Un-Constitutional.

Your Oath of Office to Uphold and Defend the Constitution
Against All Enemies Foreign and Domestic
Enjoins You to Vote NO to Any Proposed National Health Care System.

Do Not Give In to Pressures, Foreign or Domestic, to Violate Your Oath of Office.

[This Page|Printable PDF Flyer|Join Us]

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT: - that all men are created by the Lord God; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations of such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient cause; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.

Who is Joe Bellis?

joebellis — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 16:34:33 -0700

My name is Joe Bellis; I am a 32 year resident of the state of Kansas. I have been interested in politics since I was a teenager. My journey through the political spectrum has been guided by the insight of many great leaders. I have taken the conviction of Goldwater, the candor of Truman and the values of Reagan to develop a political philosophy that is unique in today's political landscape.

I have come to the understanding that our current two-party system is broken. The candidates for both of the parties lie through their teeth and promise anything they can to get elected (or re-elected). Once the election is over, business as usual is the theme. They represent only their own interests.

Emergency Alert! Instruct Senators to Vote NO on O-No-Care S.1796 The Healthy Family Act (The Happy Insurance Companies Act)

jlmartin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 11:53:37 -0700

[This Page|Printable PDF Flyer|Text from O-No-Care S.1796]

Stop S.1796 The Healthy Family Act (aka The Happy Insurance Companies Act aka ObamaCare aka PelosiCare)!

Regarding coverage of abortions: It assures that there will be at least one plan that covers abortions that are prohibited from receiving federal funding! Nice contradiction in a federal bill.

Regarding the power of Congress to impose this fascist assault on our liberties and the Constitution: Pelosi said (of course) that the power is from the "Commerce Clause", and yet I do not see any reference to employers or employees being involved in interstate commerce or not.

Call your SOBs (Servants Of Bankers) at 877 SOB U SOB - Call once for each Senator: ask by name and/or state.
Tell his/her staffer that you are instructing the Senator to vote against this unconstitutional assault upon our personal rights and liberties, upon the privacy of Americans and our employers, and upon state sovereignty.
Tell the staffer that residents and businesses in your state are not the slaves of the federal government, and that they will not be obliged to follow this unconstitutional seizure of power that was never granted to the federal government.
Tell the staffer that you will work to instruct your state legislators to oppose enactment of this unconstitutional, illegal act in your state, and also to instruct them to impeach any Senator from your state that supported or voted for this assault upon the very Constitution that every Senator swears an oath to defend and uphold.

Call 877 SOB U SOB early and often to instruct our SOBs in D.C.

Every Thursday for the past 6 Months, Government Officials have raided homes and businesses -- sometimes at Gunpoint, sometimes with a Warrant, and sometimes with nothing more then the burly bodies that intimidate those about to be oppressed.

Some cases of oppression by NAIS and government enforcers that deserve much wider attention: Stowers, Greg Niewendorp, Steve Hixon, Emmanuel Miller, Paul Griepentrog, Sharon Palmer. The oppressors plan to oppress us all.

Today -- Thursday of course -- H.R. 1105 is awaiting assignment to Committee in the U.S. Senate. It stands poised to allocate $289 million to APHIS for the implementation of the National Animal Identification System. It also outlines the time frame to implement in 2009 the tracking of 33 species.

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d111:HR01105:@@@X

The treacherous U.S. House managed to pass this "Omnibus 2009" in 24 hours, and we have no reason to believe that the U.S. Senate will not pass it quickly and eagerly as well.

What are you going to do? We as living human beings do not go to the polls to elect officials to represent Multi-National Corporations or Lobbyists paid by groups attempting to get their piece of the pie.

THE LARGEST UNPAID LOBBYIST GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS SITTING IN THAT CHAIR IN FRONT OF THE KEYBOARD! YOU BELONG TO IT!

Contact your Elected Officials and related Organizations -- as many as you can right now, today, and for the next several days.

The first person to contact is AgSec@USDA.gov and then your U.S. Senators.

Call Congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Ask for Pat Roberts (KS) and then Sam Brownback (KS). Find complete contact info at http://www.visi.com/juan/congress/.

The message is simple:

We don't want -- and we will not comply with -- the National Animal Identification System.
We do not want H.R. 1105 out of Senate Committee.
We do not want H.R. 1105 passed by the Senate, either by itself or together with other bills.
NAIS is an assault on our food supply and our economy.
NAIS is an unconstitutional assault on our Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness.
NAIS subjugates our production, selling, distribution, purchasing, and consumption of food to the whims of beaurocrats and agents of a government that is more interested in serving multi-national corporations and trading organizations than in upholding and defending the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
We want it stopped! Stop it on Friday 27, 2009!

Then call (202) 224-3121 and complain to your Representatives that the fast-tracking of the "Omnibus" Bill was unconscionable, un-Constitutional, and a betrayal of all Americans: Jerry Moran (KS-1st), Lynn Jenkins (KS-2nd), Dennis Moore (KS-3rd), or Todd Tiahrt (KS-4th).

Common Sense Solution of Illegal Immigration Problems

abner.d — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 23:17:41 -0700

1. To determine their cause and then logically determine the best solution for them.

2. Illegal immigrants are causing great insecurity (including possible terrorist dangers), economic and other serious harm to USA citizens. By far the main cause of these serious problems to USA citizens is the very terrible income/general economic conditions for the large majority of the populations of Mexico and numerous other 3rd World/"Underdeveloped" countries.

Highway Robbery

bobdacy — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 07:00:00 -0600

Amidst a firestorm of opposition to the Trans Texas Corridor the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) held the second annual Texas Transportation Forum on Wednesday, July 18 through Friday, July 20 at the downtown Hilton in Austin, Texas. The Trans Texas Corridor would be part of the planned NAFTA superhighway running from Mexico to Canada.

The forum was attended by what amounts to Texas Governor Rick Perry's constituency: highway construction companies, related contractors and sub-contractors, civil engineers, attorneys, bankers, international investors, and various state and federal bureaucrats, all seeing dollar signs in their eyes as they came together to discuss strategy and tactics aimed at conning the people of Texas into paying for their own economic and national demise by forcing Texas motorists to pay tolls on new and existing highways. Most attendees were there to promote their various business interests, but many were there to facilitate building the super-corridor system needed to make possible the North American Union — a merger of the United States, Canada, and Mexico into a single economic, political, military, educational, and cultural entity.

Rick Perry's vision for Texas, the Trans Texas Corridor, made it through the State Legislature in 2003. H.B. 3588, the enabling bill for the Trans Texas Corridor and, hence, the largest spending bill in the state's history, became law in large part because Texas' mainstream press, used as a watchdog, was inexplicably asleep.
