REAL NEWS - ONLY U.S. CONGRESS CAN PASS LAWS THAT CONTROL THEMSELVES. <[email protected]> (Common sense, politically incorrect newsletter to 14,951 subscribers) ONLY U.S. CONGRESS CAN PASS LAWS THAT CONTROL THEMSELVES. Can Legally Steal Because Are Exempt to Our Laws. Voters Hate Congress But Re-elect Their Own District Crooks Because They Can't Resist Pork Promises. Regardless of who gets elected president, their hands will be tied by our corrupt Congress unless voters wake up and vote all their own U.S. Representatives and U.S. Senators out of Congress. Our term-limitless, sovereign-acting Congress is "taking the USA down the drain". Since only Congress can pass laws to control themselves, you can't expect "the fox to guard the henhouse" or for Congress to change. There is no one to take away the bloated benefits they give themselves. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that individual states can not invoke term limits (which worked so well state-wide) on their own members of Congress. The only remedy is to vote them all out of office. But each Congress member is bribing their own voters with just enough pork bills to ensure re-election. Only Congress can create spending bills, but they accuse the president of over-spending when he signs their spending bill. President George W. Bush shirked defending his reputation as he became the "whipping boy" victim of our politicized Congress who criticized and insulted everything he did or didn't do, and said or didn't say, without giving a logical alternative solution. They fight with each other for power, protect and pass legislation for their bribers, and just concentrate on getting re-elected (Potomac fever). The House of Representatives and the Senate have this conspiracy when the people are protesting so loud for an issue that they have to do something -- but their bribers won't allow them to do it. The House passes an appropriate bill and the Senate passes a different appropriate bill. But neither house gets around to voting on the bill from the other house. So both houses are heroes for passing a bill -- but nothing ever happens because approval is required by both houses. The good people in the Democratic Party should be ashamed of malicious liars like House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who are without integrity. Has your U.S. Senator or Representative in Washington presented any legislation or voted for any legislation that you liked? Are they doing what's good for you and the nation, or too busy benefitting themselves and lobbyists who want to bribe them? Are you going to vote for a decent, qualified new candidate, or blindly vote for an obvious immoral, lying, slandering bribe-taker just because you favor his political party? Are voters stuck on stupid? Most of the campaign promises made by presidential candidates are impossible for them to fulfill because their plans must first be approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Presidents can't pass tax bills or budget bills, they can only sign or veto bills, and sometimes their own suggested bills are passed with so many changes and pork added that they have to veto and send them back in hope of cleanup. --REAL NEWS Editor [email protected] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE 545 PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR AMERICA'S WOES By Charley Reese, this week's guest author Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them. Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits? Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes? You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does. You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does. You and I don't write the tax code. Congress does. You and I don't set fiscal policy. Congress does. You and I don't control monetary policy. The Federal Reserve Bank does. (FACT! The fed is an illegal act by the government. The constitution stated that our money would never be in the hands of a private company, yet it is!) One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president and nine Supreme Court justices -- 545 human beings out of over 300 million -- are directly, legally, morally and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country. I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered but private central bank. I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes. A CONFIDENCE CONSPIRACY Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con, regardless of party. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it. The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? He is the leader of the majority party. He and fellow representatives, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto. REPLACE THE SCOUNDRELS It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem, from an unfair tax code to defense overruns, that is not traceable directly to those 545 people When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist. If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair. If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red. If the Marines are in IRAQ, it's because they want them in IRAQ. There are no insoluble government problems. Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exist disembodied mystical forces like "the economy", "inflation", or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do. Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible. They, and they alone, have the power. They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses -- provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess. Pocketbook Constitution available http://www.nccs.net/pocket_constitution.html Send to a friend, give to a co-worker.
