The United States Constitution
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Shall means (in laws, directives, etc.) must; is or are obliged to: The meetings of the council shall be public. In this context, Congress must NOT, or is obliged NOT TO, make any laws either establishing a religion or prohibiting the free exercise of religion.
Abridge means to diminish or reduce in scope, example: abridge the privileges and immunities of the citizens of the United States —U.S. Constitution amendment XIV. In this context, Congress is MUST NOT or is obliged NOT TO in any way lessen or reduce freedom of speech or press (the spoken or printed word).
Oblige is related to "obligate" and means to require or constrain, as by law, command, conscience, or force of necessity; to bind morally or legally, as by a promise or contract; or to make (an action, policy, etc.) necessary or obligatory: Your carelessness obliges firmness on my part.
Redress means (as a noun):
In this context, Congress MUST NOT or is obliged NOT TO in any way lessen or reduce the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
The Constitution is the heartbeat of our country. It defines who and what we are. Anything or anyone that changes our Constitution (outside of legal avenues) weakens that heartbeat. Those who contend that the US Constitution is a "living document," a document that can be changed at whim "by the few," should consider that they could then be viewed as guilty of attempted murder. But whether we view it as attempted murder or treason, and whether the Constitution dies slow, as in heart failure, or suddenly, as a heart attack, the intent and end result is the same: the death of our country.
The framers of our Constitution were wise. They knew we would co-exist with evil and so they provided a way to correct the evil that would creep into the system of government they so carefully framed to remedy the abuses they had endured.
That remedy is also contained in the First Amendment: Petition for Redress of Grievances. However, many petitioners on many issues have repeatedly hit a stone wall. The government simply ignores the petition and the petitioners. In one case, it went so far as to release a toxin on petitioners (Cindy Sheehan, when holding a protest at the D.C. mall.) So the one peaceful remedy given to Americans, who have exercised it, has been denied.
The Constitution can be viewed as a contract between the government and the people. The government is made up of people, but by their occupying government positions they become the government.
Similar to business-related contracts, each party to the contract has a duty to uphold his end of the bargain. In the Constitution, We The People were given the right to petition the government for redress of wrongs, abuse, evils, etc. By so petitioning, the people have sought recourse pursuant to the contract. When the government refuses to even listen, much less take action against the wrongs complained of, it is not upholding its end of the bargain. Thus, the U.S. Government is in breach of its agreement with the people. (Remember, each federal government employee holding an office swears to uphold the Constitution.)
So what's a country to do?
Well, if the contract is one of unemployment, you simply fire the offending employee. We The People are the employers and occupiers of government offices are the employees. Worldnetdaily.com has the right idea. They are giving notice, via millions of "pink slips," to Congress that the American people are "fed" up. (Or up to our ears in "feds," bureaucrats who sell their country out to line their own pockets.)
This is a good start, but will it really change anything? Sure, it will make a lot of nervous bureaucrats but can they actually stop their illegal, treasonous actions. The answer is probably not because they are caught like deer in the headlights. They don't know which way to go because they are in so deep.
Okay, so they won't leave office voluntarily. We could vote them out next election.
Can we really? Electronic voting is obviously too easy to manipulate. And once they get into office, nothing can be done. You know exactly what is being said here.
We cannot trust our government and we cannot control our government.
