What is the NUMBER of this Executive Order?
An EO MUST be PUBLISHED in order for it to go into effect.
Let's see it?

New Executive Order On
Federalism - Latest Assault
On The Constitution
Comment
By Brad Bernards <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Amending the 10th Amendment
-August 10, 1999-
On August 5, President Clinton signed an Executive Order on
Federalism, the division of power between Washington, D.C.
and
the States. The President claims Constitutional authority
to turn our
Constitution on it's head. This executive order, which I
have read,
seeks to guarantee the division of governmental
responsibilities
intended by the Framers of the Constitution. The Tenth
Amendment
to the Constitution, part of the Bill of Rights, does not
need to be
clarified. I have quoted the Constitution before and I
proudly do it
again: "The powers not delegated to the United States by
the
Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are
reserved to the
States respectively, or to the people." That's the tenth
amendment,
and any attempt by President Clinton to improve on it will
most
certainly not be to the benefit of the states or the
people.
This is an outright attempt by the federal government to
take from
us power we have yet to claim but, nonetheless, is still
ours under
the Constitution. The Constitution enumerates the powers of
the
federal government - they are finite and limited
intentionally. The
President, through each and every agency, would like to
impose
federal rules and regulations absorbing powers that are, as
of yet,
unclaimed by the states. The previous attempt to steal away
our
power last year in Executive Order 13083 was met with much
opposition after it was exposed. He had created the
document
without the input of those affected. It was later
suspended, and now
revoked as this EO replaces it. Amending the Constitution
takes the
congress and all 50 States but the President may do it,
unnoticed,
through an Executive Order
The document is clever because it now has the input of
many,
although we don't know specifically who, and on the surface
appears quite benign. The AP reports that state and local
officials
appear satisfied with the rewritten order. The language of
this
Executive Order is indeed deferential to the states. The
document
reads well until you discover that all the input gathered
from state
and local government, the consulting with state and local
officials on
developing standards and the opportunity for participation
in
rulemaking proceedings is just that much talk. I see
nowhere in the
document that any input be digested at all. Federal
agencies will be
able to do what they want provided they follow the
prescribed
method which is not much more than whoops to placate the
intergovernmental organizations concerned. The federal
government
can and will put into force any rule they want with or
without the
approval of anyone.
The White House's own press release says: "...the Order
makes
clear that federal action is appropriate in the presence of
a problem
of national scope or significance." This statement by
itself admits
that the Executive Branch can make anything their business
and
have an agency create federal rules to govern it. At a time
when we
need to pare back the federal government, they seem intent
on
grabbing any remaining power not nailed down by claim of
the states
or the people.
The United States Constitution is a magnificent document
and
Clinton would do best to read it and follow it. Instead,
he's going to
fix it. He calls it strengthening the partnership. He says
that the
Federal government and State and local governments should
work
together as partners. He wants to be my partner and my
State's
partner for the simple reason that we have something that
he wants -
power. After all, he didn't sign an Executive Order
promising to limit
the reach of the federal government. This will make
government
bigger. It will compromise our individual rights to the
powers
reserved to us by the Constitution and will compromise the
sovereignty of every state in this union.
You have to remember who wrote this Executive Order. The
word
"is" appears 24 times. This is a man who will trick you
with verb
tenses. He has proven that he will make a statement that
says the
exact opposite of what he means. Now, he has made a
statement
that implies he is protecting the Constitution. It is the
work of
smarter people than me to take his words apart - to dissect
the 7
pages of this order to see if it looks anything like the 28
words of the
tenth amendment.
We have 90 days from August fifth until this Order takes
effect. It's
going to be harder this time around to expose this Clinton
Lie now
that he has received input from those affected. So far, I
have no
hope the major media will jump on this without pressure.
It's our
power he wants, so it's our responsibility to stop him.
