Taking America Back

by Howard  McCormick, 9/20/16

When I see people with an “I Voted!” sticker, my first thought is, “Shame on you!”

Imagine 12 people are serving on a jury in a murder case. The prosecution and defense present evidence and call witnesses. The court asks the jury to reach a verdict. They find the defendant guilty.

Suppose four of the jurors paid no attention during the trial. When asked to deliberate, they were ignorant of the details of the case. They decided more or less at random.

Suppose four of the jurors paid some attention to the evidence. However, they found the defendant guilty not on the basis of the evidence, but on wishful thinking and on bizarre conspiracy theories they happen to believe.

Suppose four of the jurors paid attention to the evidence. However, they found the defendant guilty because he is an atheist, while they are Christians. Like many Americans, the jurors trust atheists no more than they trust rapists.

The jurors acted in a vile and despicable way. The defendant is possibly innocent. He does not consent to the outcome of the decision. The decision will be imposed upon him through violence and threats of violence. The decision could harm him, and deprive him of property, liberty, or even life. Jurors have a moral obligation to decide these kinds of cases in a competent and morally reasonable way.

This line of reasoning applies even more strongly to the electorate as a whole. Political decisions are high stakes. Most citizens are innocent. Almost none of us consent to the outcome of the election or to our government.* The outcomes—including all ensuing laws, regulations, taxes, budget expenditures, wars, and so on—are imposed upon us through violence and threats of violence. These decisions can and so harm us, and can and do deprive many of us of property, liberty, and even life. At first glance, we should think that voters, like jurors, have a moral obligation to vote in a competent and morally reasonable way.

They owe it to the rest of us to abstain. Citizens have no duty to vote, but if they do vote, they MUST vote well, for what they justifiably believe will promote good government. The one man, one vote decision was made in 1964 by a SCOTUS that was made unconstitutional in 1913 with the illegal ratification of the 17th Amendment. Therefore the results of that decision are unconstitutional AND illegal! No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.

If that law is arbitrary to the constitution, if it renders you subject to illegal or unconstitutional laws and acts it is in fact, null and void.

Who confirms all Federal Judges and Supreme Court Justices, THE SENATE of the United States of America! Now made up of vain and aspiring people, that depend on "special interests" and promises they can NEVER keep, to get elected or re-elected by a mostly ignorant "so-called" democracy. A democracy that seldom reaches a majority, rather a majority of a minority, which is NOT democracy at all.

The Constitution is VERY clear that the PEOPLE (collectively) and the STATES, the assemblies thereof, (collectively) ARE two separate things.

Article V specifies the means by which the Constitution of the United States can be amended. It ends by forbidding amendments that would repeal the language in Article I, Section 3, which provides for equal representation of the STATES, not the PEOPLE, in the Senate. It is the only textually entrenched provision of the Constitution. "no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate"—IS a permanent prohibition.

This un-amendable provision shows how seriously the smaller states were committed to protecting the "original federal design." Whereby the PEOPLE were to be represented proportionately in the House and the STATES equally in the Senate.

The provision does more than protect the equal representation of small states. It ensures a polity of mixed sovereignty, one in which the states are an integral part of the federal government. This, of course, is precisely why those who do not think the Constitution "democratic" enough would wish to remove that portion of the Constitution. They argue variously that Article V can be amended through the convention mechanism; or by the people as a whole as stated in the Preamble; or, more brazenly, by first amending out the provision of the Fifth Amendment, and then requiring the Senate to be apportioned by population. Such proposals are inconsistent with the vision of the Framers and would undermine the structural plan of the Constitution. That plan was an integrated and dynamic federalism and anything else IS unconstitutional!

Denying the states their intended role in the the United States of America federal government by abolishing their equality in the Senate destroyed the grounding of the Union. Moreover, as the text itself stands, at most the provision could only technically be voided by the unanimous consent of all the states. NOT by ratification of 3/4rd's or more of the states.

Even the proposal of the 17th Amendment was unconstitutional without FIRST getting consent by ALL the states!

It is up to the PEOPLE to enforce the contract they offered to and accepted by the states, The Constitution for the United States of America. It is up to US to educate our state lawmakers of their duty to support the Constitution, then force them to do so. The 17th Amendment was made part of the law and any unconstitutional law is null and void, therefore the 17th Amendment is NULL and VOID. States have to pass a binding resolution recognizing this FACT and then make a decision on how it is going to choose the 2 Senators that will represent it in the U.S. Senate.

Vote, march, petition, post, comment, Tweet, burn, destroy, kill all you want to, but until YOU do something that will work, YOU are nothing more than a slave to the mob! As long as we allow a civicly ignorant MOB to vote and elect the vain and aspiring, LIFE will become less and less a human right and more and more a government regulated permission!!!!!!

Join or re-join us, learn, then teach others how to STOP the insanity of ONLY getting the results of more progressive socialism and less Americanism, before the vain and aspiring kill it completely.

Just click on the state you reside in and could vote in and get ready to help save your country from ruin:
