There seems to be a movement among some in
political power in this "Land of the Free" and the
"Home of the Brave," to change the constitution,
ie. the First Amendment, Free Speech, Free Exer-
cise of Religion, and the Second Amendment,
"Right to Bear Arms" without any Restrictions;
Felons excepted. There is also regular infringe-
ment of the Fifth Amendment with respect to con-
fiscation of private property without just compen-
sation.
ALERT: (5.03.16) As we speak, there is a move-
ment to have a constitutional convention. Although
this movement is probably well intended, it seems a
bad idea. We have a "perfectly" designed document
that has served us well since the founding of the USA
and if we change it at all, it will be less. We simply
must require elected officials and "bureaucrats" in
our home states and in DC to adhere to the princi-
ples within the present document...
There are, of course, occasional infringements
with respect to other constitutional safeguards, but
the above seem the most violated. There seems to
be an agenda, by politicians to use our constitution
against us, rather using that venerated document
for the purpose intended; that is the protection of
the citizens against an oppressive federal govern-
ment. There is no reason to try to make a case for
government conspiracy behind the violations, but
there seems to be no great hue and cry against
these inconsistencies by our elected officials and
bureaucrats, be they GOP or Dems.
Amendment I: Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of religion, or prohi-
biting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the
freedom of speech, or the press; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
government for a redress of grievances.
Amendment II: A well regulated militia being
necessary to the security of a free state, the rights
of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be
infringed.
(Convicted felons lose some rights.
most folks have little issue with that.)
Amendment V: No person shall be held to answer
for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless
on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury,
except in case arising in the land or naval forces, or
in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War
or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for
the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life
or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case
to be a witness against himself, 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.
One aspect comes to mind... As long as our citizens
are honorable, truly religious, our form of government
will work. When the citizens become self-centered,
less than "honorable," it will cease to work as the
Founders intended. God be praised for such insight-
ful and Godly men
