What “Representation Of The People?”

We The People1 What Representation of the People?

(Editor’s note: the following opinions are those of the author and not necessarily those of the Western Center for Journalism.)

How can WE THE PEOPLE not have a say in what our Representatives do?

Our Representatives are doing basically whatever they want; they are not coming to us and asking what we would prefer as a majority. Our Representatives think that WE THE PEOPLE are ignorant and are unable to understand what goes on in DC. Well, we are supposed to be kept up to date.

WE THE PEOPLE are supposed to be able to read and understand all the laws and any changes that are made to the Constitution. They have lawyers write up everything so that even they cannot understand it; this is unacceptable.

Nancy Pelosi said that they had to pass it to find out what is in it. This was wrong in the extreme. Did anyone object?I did not hear one voice. Not one.

How well are WE THE PEOPLE represented? We have representatives, but are they really representing WE THE PEOPLE? I don’t think so.

These Representatives are not coming to us before ramming things down our throats. They are supposed to represent, not just go to DC and do whatever they feel is right or what they think is right. They are supposed to represent us, and they are not doing this at all.

The Govt. that we elect says that because we have representatives that everything is all good. It is NOT all good.

WE THE PEOPLE are not represented when the person in the oval office can make such socialist executive orders and Congress does not vote and say “no, you cannot do that.”

Now we have someone who has his paws in every aspect of our lives. What happened to STATES’ RIGHTS? They have been removed for the most part. Feds have taken over.

What happened to all our rights as citizens listed in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? We have free speech zones now; the 4th Amendment is all but gone. Do you really want this to continue?

Obama has shown his hand and his socialism and muslim beliefs. He wants this for everyone, in my opinion.

Romney talks well, but he does not have the peoples’ rights at heart. He endorses the NDAA, CISPA, and Obamacare -which he said he will reform. This is not what we asked for from anyone. Romney is more suave in how he delivers his message, but if you look hard enough, he is no better than Obama. He will go the same direction as Obama, but at a slower pace.

We will be like the frog sitting in cold water again and not realize until its too late that he is no better than Obama.

Ron Paul has tried to stand up for WE THE PEOPLE. He stood against the Patriot Act, he has tried to put forth legislation to give us back what the others want to take away. A person can only do so much if he is a lone voice in a pack.

As President, Ron Paul could give us back our voice and our Constitution. Ron Paul, of course, could not do this alone; he would need WE THE PEOPLE to send a message to our supposed Representatives that WE THE PEOPLE are in charge again.

We want our Constitutional Rights back, ALL OF THEM, and before Congress passes anything to make sure it is Constitutional.

I have heard too many times via the media from Senators or House members about how they don’t consider the Constitution when they do anything. They are supposed to be working for US.

  1. With All The So Called Vetting Done On Mitt Romney (Like Pulling A Girls Pig Tails In The 5th Grade)!!!! Yet Our Felon-In-Chief Barry Has Never Been Vetted!!! Now The Proud Americans Want The Story Behind Barry Soetoro AKA Barack Obama Who Is He???Where Is The Proof That He Is American???Plus Tell Us Why Our Imposter Pres Barry Soetoro AKA Obama AKA The Pinocchio Pres, Has Been Using A Stolen Social Security Card (042-68-4425) Belongs To A Person Born In 1890!!! Yikes, God Bless America.

  2. We are not being represented, so We The People must become the government. We have the right to change the government even by force of arms. Our so called congressmen and senators only want to sit back, get paid and follow party lines. They could care less about you and your problems, why should they. They get paid, free cars, free gas, free lodgings on our dime. God knows I’m not a big fan of the French but they did have an answer for those that thought they better then the little guy. Screw the government and their free speech zones, if enough of us show up and mean to speak, we will, just try to stop us. Maybe when we start to grab you guys off the streets and out of your homes and start to hang you for the traitors you are, maybe then you’ll grow a pair, and stand for us, We The People. Time is running short, so you had better get to growing them fast and remember WE are the government, not you. Death to traitors, God Bless America.

    Fellow Americans, The U.S. Supreme court job, is to protect our Constitution not to play politics or force on the American people their political ideology and trash our U.S. Constitution.
    America is more than a country, it is freedom and nothing matter but our Constitution. In order to preserve our freedom, We must pledge to make our government more transparent in its actions, careful in its stewardship, and honest in its dealings.
    We pledge to uphold the purpose and promise of a better America, knowing that to whom much is given, much is expected and that the blessings of our liberty and the hopes of Americans is not place in jeopardy by greed nor corruption. We make this pledge bearing true faith and allegiance to our country the The Unite States of America, and we invite fellow citizens, permanent residents of our country of all nationalities and our American patriots to join us in forming a new governing agenda for America.
    We must strengthen the federal government by redirecting its time, energy and resources toward those objects for which it bears express constitutional responsibility. Our Government is a government of limited and enumerated powers. The power not delegated to the federal government by the written Constitution is reserved to the states or to the people respectively.
    We must stop the trashing of our Constitution at all cost.

  5. Fellow Americans, whenever the agenda of government becomes destructive of our principles, the rule of law and the right of the people. It is the people’s right to institute a new governing agenda and set a different course. We are a self-governing society, the power of the government is derive from the consent of the people. We are in control of our future; we either fight or die like cowards.
    In God we Trust – God Blesses America the land of the free.

  6. I don’t know about you ,but I am wondering JUST WHO do we have representing the TRUE AMERICANS? But fore a few they are all setting back and letting the Marxist run the show.
    We the People JUST MIGHT HAVE TO TAKE OVER, does it look that way to you are am I just getting paranoid?
    I know I am getting VERY ANGRY.at the lack of the Politicians that are suppose to be working on the behalf of the AMERICAN people are snoozing at the wheel, and letting Barack get by with taking America down .
    But Barack hasn’t seen the TRUE SPIRIT of the AMERICAN PEOPLE .WE will get rid of him in what ever way it may take.
    You want to hear some earth shaking plans Barack and this REGIME has in store for AMERICA, Put in RYAN BOMBEGER name and see what you pull up.

      Fellow Americans, the election of 2012 will determine the faith of America and our loyalty and allegiance to this United state Government. This election will reflect the fundamental social change in our society, our American cultural values, our dependence in our government for our welfare and our self responsibility for our future and the future of our children.
      It is evident that our America, the one that fought for the American dream and the opportunities that came with that middle class life, that was based on expectation and human potential is dying. What made this country what it use to be, was the institution of marriage that connects men and women to one another and to their children. Parents spend more time helping to shape their children’s futures. That includes reading to them, providing after school sports, arts, and other enrichment projects. Having children was not something that happens to them; they plan to have children and celebrate their births as a legacy of their own existence. Having a marriage partner who shares in that celebration made the foundation of our country.
      Today we are a multicultural country, more divided than 50 years ago, with a population of illegal and legal immigrants that are not integrate into the American culture, at the top of the list are the Mexicans 35 millions of them with the biggest percent of babies born to single moms with incomes less than $15,000 per year, second are the blacks and other Latinos from Puerto Rico, central and south America that form this new class of welfare citizens. National
      data shows the average median net worth of married households is seven times the wealth of unmarried households.
      Married households are certainly more affluent than single parents and are positive, with views and an expectations that their children will exceed and surpass them. Life doesn’t happen to this group, they control their destiny as much as possible and that of their children.
      In contrast, single parents live in an insecure world where choices are limited and getting through the day may be a triumph, they are economic slaves that depends on the welfare and social service, with poor schooling and lousy prospects; this segment of our citizens are growing and will become the majority.
      This economic catastrophe will contribute to the demise of the middle class and destroy the institution of marriage, this will be the biggest threat to our country’s freedom it will be the life prospects that will divide the U.S into a society of few that have, and the majority that have-not.
      Our future depend on our ability to re-store our institution of marriage and the prospects of a better life for our children, good education; may be a college degree and good jobs.
      Fellow Americans, middle class expectations should be the norm, and we should have the inclination and drive to reinforce the norms that lead to a better life. President Obama constantly pitch his campaign messages to the America, the one that fought for the American dream and the opportunities that came with that middle class life, but he do not have the political will and inclination to reinforce the norms that will lead poor Americans to a better life.
      We need jobs in this country, but he do not have a clue as to how to create jobs for Americans, he have done nothing during the last four year, unemployment is not 8.2%; true unemployment is 14%. The news media is lying to the American people, they do not report the truth about employment in this united states.
      Education is the main factor for economic prosperity, but our education system it is not working, our inner cities schools are breeding grounds for gangs, drug trafficking and prostitution.
      Free Trade is the main problem and the cause of unemployment in our country and Obama continue making free trade agreements to benefit the multinational corporation.
      Our national debt is huge, 15.8 trillions Dollars and he refuse to balance the budget and pay our national debt, he is engage on a expending frenzy that devaluate the Dollar and created this inflation.
      The wars cost trillions of Dollars and he promised to end the wars, but to this day nothing is done; but in the name of national security he is engage in the intervention and overthrowing foreign legitimate elected governments.
      Americans have enough of Obama’s lies and deception; please get inform about the truth and vote for America.

    • We must tell EACH of them, at every opportunity, no matter what party to RE-READ their vow and stand by it or be honest and get the dickens OUT.

  7. everyone that has any sense or caring of this country is getting mad, but hold your temper till after the elections when we win the white house the senate and the congress, if he is re-elected see where the chips fall

  8. We are now receiving what we deserve…. When the Israelites turned to worshipping false idols, the book of 1 & 2 Chronicles tell how God gave Israel unrighteous leaders in hopes that the Israelites would turn back to the One True God. The unrighteous leaders would not led the people back to God. God warned the Israelites that 1/3 would die to famine, 1/3 would die by the sword and 1/3 would be carried away to captivity….. Seven times the Israelites were nearly wipe from the face of the earth.
    Now America iniquities has reached the heavens and He has made His judgment known to those that are watching and listening. Those who say this nation wasn’t founded upon the Christian morals have absolutely no understanding or comprehension of God or his ways. And they most certainly haven’t study America’s history.
    Just as God causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous, so shall we all feel His anger through disasters of all types. I expect the disasters to increase in everyway, more deaths and a lot more destruction until His judgment is fulfill.
    Now for the statement that i started with…. “We are now receiving what we deserve….” We all loosing our liberty and freedoms today because we have allowed the liberty and freedoms to be taken away from the most innocent of all life, the slaughter of an estimated 55 million babies, which makes America a much bigger terrorist than Adolph Hitler ever was.

    If you are interested in reading God’s judgment for America’s future or lack thereof, google: “The Message For America, Hand of Help.” For what I think will be the 2nd major terrorist attack for America, google; “The Eagle and the Serpents, Hand of Help.” And again for what I believe will be the location of this 2nd attack, google: “Watchman On The Wall, America ~ Mystery babylon?”

  9. Got the following in an e-mail. Thought it apropos:
    “We have sacrificed the the greatest country on earth to mke pets out of incompetents. We have become a society that worships drug lords, thugs, and gangsters, and holds up their behavior as a model. It is insane.” – - – A patriot.

  10. I really thought Romney can be a little extreme but I also know he knows how to make money. I am going to the polls in November and have two choices and one is Obama and one is not Obama. So you know where I will be voting. I also think Romney is a more reasonable person than Obama ever could be.

    Fellow Americans, This November is our chance to cleanup Washington and throw out all the corrupt politicians out of office. This economic crisis is self made; we should blame ourselves and not one else for our own economic slavery and this world crisis, because we fail to get inform and take action to clean up our country from this culture of corruption. This country was build by people with character, believers that their purpose was to make a contribution to our community and country by working to be the best they can be, while at school or on the job, proud people that refused to take handouts from the government social service. I am an American and I will continue fighting for what is right for America. My loyalty is to may country The United States of America, not to any politician, political party or organization. I will expose corruption on government and at the private sector, because corruption feed greed and greed will destroy humanity.
    God bless America and all the Patriots that keep doing what is right for our country and the world.

    God bless America.
