Why not call it what it is? Treason! They take our tax dollars, and then tell us they don't have enough for programs that would benefit us all. They lie to us, take bribes from the wealthy by changing the name to Lobbyists (and they did exactly that). Bribery before they changed the name and the process was considered a High Crime--like treason. They have started taking away things in their new way of processing laws, things that would make this country thrive again. And if that isn't treason, I don't know what is! Who will accuse them? Isn't that our job. That's what the founding fathers did when they signed the Declaration of Independence (against the government of England)
Here are some of the words Jefferson wrote that surely apply to us today:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness--that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed, that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness, Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long, established should not be changed for light and transient causes and accordingly all experience has shown, that Humankind are more disposed to suffer, while EVILS are sufferable, than to RIGHT THEMSELVES by ABOLISHING the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long TRAIN OF ABUSES and USURPATIONS, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce under absolute Despotism, it is their RIGHT, it is their DUTY, to throw off such Government and to provide new Guards for their future Security." Like our Forefathers it is time for us to declare our independence from the despots who inhabit our government, making laws in the sacred halls of Congress that are nothing less than tyranny against We the People. We gave them these powers by our consent and our votes...and they have and surely will continue to abuse the power which in right belongs to all of us. All members of our government from the lowliest private in the army to the President of the United States take the same oath: "To protect and defend the Constitution of the United states against all enemies, both foreign and domestic." And the other day I heard a former member of our Armed Services say this: "In all my service to this country I never encountered an enemy of our Constitution in any of the foreign countries to which I was assigned." and I thought (he didn't say it)...but there are plenty of domestic "terrorists" right here and most are here in our own government.
