Census or Invasion of Privacy?

This Post is addressed to the President, and to all members of Congress.

In case you have forgotten your Oath of Office, and your swearing to preserve the United states Constitution I want to give you a refresher on what the Constitution has to say about the Census of our great country.

"Article I, Section I. All Legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives."

"Article I, Section 2, clause 3: Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding the whole Number of free persons, including those bound to service for a Term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other persons ( the Fourteenth Amendment addressed the equal protection clause for Indians). The actual enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten Years, in such manner as they shall by Law direct. The number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but every State shall have at least one Representative……….."

It is perfectly clear that the Census task falls under the auspices of the Legislative Branch of Government. Until just recently the census was a responsibility of the Department of Commerce, which falls under the Legislative Branch of Government.

Why is it that the Executive Branch of Government has taken over a task, whose responsibility clearly falls under the Legislative Branch? I understand now that ACORN is working its way back into the Census taking effort under President Obama's administration. Why is this? ACORN has been proven unequivocally dishonest, heavy handed enforcers for this administration, and notably guilty of voter registration fraud.

By what authority has the Executive Branch hijacked an effort that clearly belongs to the Department of Commerce under the Legislative Branch? The action that is taking place requires a Constitutional Amendment.

Further, the Constitution specifically states "enumerated………every ten years". Enumerated by definition means "To determine the number of,…..count". The Government is in violation our Constitutional rights by forcing the people to reveal personal information that is no ones business but the individuals.


The Questionnaire that I understand is coming with the Census Form is an invasion of privacy, and demands personal/family information, that far exceeds "Enumeration." The penalty for failing to fill out the required information…………... $5,000, and threaten them with prosecution and possible prison time? I think you had better get real. I personally will provide what the Constitution requires me to provide to satisfy the Census requirement,…..you can ENUMERATE me!

God Bless America!

Tyranny in the White House

There is no doubt in my mind that astute rational thinking Americans are keenly aware of what this Pseudo-President and his jolly band of Marxists are doing. There is no doubt that Health Care Reform, and Cap and Trade legislation are the cornerstone's of his promise to "Transform America". His agenda will earn him a legacy that will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most damaging administrations in the history of the United States of American. Our sovereignty will be destroyed, and our Bill of rights will become a thing of the past.

His struggle to force this Health Care Reform legislation on the American people is arguably unconstitutional. The government cannot mandate that every American be covered under this onerous Health Care Reform. It denies the American people the freedom of choice, and will burden them with unsustainable debt, rationed health care, and yes "Death Panels" regardless what Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Dick Durbin and Mr. Obama, et.al say. Denying health care to the elderly, and government (tax payer) funded abortions are de facto genocide against the seniors who have built this country, and the unborn who will never of had a chance to live. A side benefit for Mr. Obama and his myrmidons.......when the seniors are long gone there will be no one around that even knows what that pesky Constitution is, let alone the Bill of Rights.

Earlier this week I seen Senator Tom Harkin at a press conference, and he stated (to paraphrase) that "health care is moving from a "Privilege" to a "Right", and this legislation is like a starter home that we can add too later". Senator Harkin showed his ignorance and pure arrogance, by that bit of TV face time. The government cannot grant rights, only God can grant rights, to wit: "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness........." The enumerated powers of the Constitution does not allow the granting of rights. Our Rights as American citizens are clearly defined in the Bill of Rights, specifically in the first ten Amendments.

Being cautiously optimistic, I do believe the wheels are coming off of the Al Gore Global Warming swindle, and hopefully that whole charade will will go away on a Global initiative, however, it looks like the Environmental Protection Agency may attempt to burden us with untenable costly regulations that will still affect we the people with significant costs in energy consumption, can you spell "Smart Grid"?

As to the Title of this post, you are all aware there are three branches of the Federal Government as set forth in the United States Constitution. Article I establishes the Legislative Branch, Article II establishes the Executive Branch, Article III establishes the Judicial Branch. The Founding Fathers in their wisdom wrote the Constitution with vision and purpose, the three branches were established as a method of "checks and balances" so in effect, no one branch could dominate the other two. This is where the tyranny is raising its ugly head. The Executive Branch (the President) is insinuating itself into the business of of the Legislative Branch. The President with his arm twisting, knee cap busting, and Chicago style thuggery influence on the Legislature is tyranny. He has rallied those in collusion with his agenda to the White House to hammer out a Health Care Reform Bill that will totally screw the America people. Folks we need an all out effort come this November at the voting booth to send these corrupt elitists home with their tail's between their legs.

Off the subject, Obama spent how many of our tax payers dollars going up to MA to stump for Coakley? I hope Scott Brown and the people of MA cream Coakley, and throws the proverbial monkey wrench in the Senate gear box.

May God Bless America and all who truly love her!
