Gran’pa Ed’s CONSTITUTIONAL COMMENT

News & Commentary That’s Historically Correct, Not Politically Correct!
Pass this on to the sleeping public – YOU are the Internet's Paul Revere
Pray for our nation’s leaders, its churches and its citizens.

"... there are about 30 different types of sexual orientations, and they can include exhibitionism and voyeurism or things that are so offensive such as pedophilia or necrophilia and bestiality." -- Congressman Louie Gohmert

The House has passed, and the US Senate is expected to vote on the Hate Crimes Bill this Thursday. This bill will give special privileges to sexual devients of all types. Be sure your two US Senators know you are OPPOSED to any such bill and that all crimes should be treated equally.

The REPUBLIC of the United States!

I just heard that 63% of the American people agree with Obama and the Democrats on what they are doing to us and what they have planned for us!

But, is any of this Constitutional? The United States was founded as a Republic and a Republic must follow the Rule of Law of its Constitution.

But, does it? For the past 100 years the American people have been brainwashed into believing the United States is a democracy.

Well, what is the difference?

A democracy is majority rule and is destructive of liberty because there is no law to prevent the majority from trampling on individual rights. Whatever the majority says goes!

Whereas, a republic is a government of law under a Constitution. The Constitution holds the government in check and prevents the majority (acting through their government) from violating the rights of the individual.

Professor Alexander Fraser Tyler, two centuries ago, had this to say about democracy: " A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess out of public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a Dictatorship."

Please read our US constitution, it is short and was written so that even the poorly educated farmer of the time could understand it. If you do not have a copy handy, you can find our Constitution on line at: http://www.constitution.org/constit_.htm

Please pay particular attention to Article 1, Section 8. This clearly spells out the powers granted to the Congress. Take note that there is nothing there about jobs, housing, health care, education and most of the other things our government is involved in. Our Tenth Amendment says these things are left to the states or to the people (citizens) themselves.

"Did America ever consider itself a Judeo-Christian nation?" and "If America was once a Judeo-Christian nation, when did it cease to be?" -- Congressman Forbes

We must act together to stop the destruction of our rich American heritage, the very sovereignty of our great nation, and our God-given rights.

Cap & Trade Bill Passes House
June 30, 2009

Now is the time to start contacting the Senate

The “Cap & Trade” bill (American Clean Energy and Security Act, aka the Waxman-Markey Climate Bill) squeaked through the House with a 119 to 112 vote. Eight Republicans (mainly from NY, NJ and CA) voted for this horrendous Bill that will destroy our economy, while Forty-four Democrats voted against the bill.

The bill would regulate CO2 output. All animals, including humans, exhale CO2 and it's what vegetation "inhales" to live, and uses to produce the oxygen you need to live.

This new Cap and Trade bill will raise the price of everything you buy by at least 25%.

IF YOU DON'T START CALLING AND WRITING YOUR SENATORS – NOW - TO KILL THIS BILL, KISS OUR ECONOMY AND WAY-OF-LIFE, GOODBYE!

July 8, 2009

If we hurry, we still have time to act on this.

The Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings last week on the "Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act,” S 909 (aka "Pedophile Protection Act"), but did not yet forward to the full Senate.

S 909 will mirror the already passed House bill HR 1913, which makes "sexual orientation," "gender," and "gender identity" into federally-protected classes and protects up to 547 types of sexually deviant behaviors, including:

Incest – sex with one’s offspring (a crime, of course)

Necrophilia – sexual relations with a corpse, also a crime

Pedophilia – sex with an underage child, another crime

Zoophilia – bestiality, a crime in numerous states

Voyeurism – a criminal offense in most states

Fronteurism – a man rubbing against an unknown woman’s buttocks

Coprophilia – sexual arousal from feces

Urophilia – sexual arousal from urine

This legislation also lays the legal foundation to investigate, prosecute and persecute pastors, youth pastors, Bible teachers, and anyone else whose speech and thought is based upon and reflects the truths found in the Bible.

Any public prayer against the sin of homosexuality could be construed as inciting violence, especially if those prayers are offered in Jesus' name.

S 909 infringes on our First Amendment Right to free exercise of religion and the freedom of speech.

Please contact your two US Senators immediately and urge them to speak up AGAINST the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act, S 909, and to vote AGAINST this bill when it comes to the Senate floor.

The PASS Act

There is a bill presently being discussed in the Senate Committee for Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs that no one is talking about, the PASS Act, S 1261.

Proponents say this replaces the unpopular Real ID act, but it only replaces one section of the Real ID bill and makes Real ID even more tyrannical.

Please watch the following video:. http://www.youtube.com:80/watch?v=2kE8xDMokpM

Then call the members of the Senate Committee,
and tell them:
You are opposed to Real ID and the PASS Act

You are opposed to being enrolled in a Biometric Identification System

You don't want Social Security Numbers in our DMV databases

No RFID chips in our Driver's Licenses

No federal intervention with the issuance of our State driver's licenses

You are not willing to trade any of your freedom for security.

All of these actions are unconstitutional and a direct attack on our civil liberties and our unalienable rights.

This bill must be killed before it gets to the Senate floor.

Please phone or fax the following: (It will only take about 20 minutes to call them all.)

President and Mrs. Obama recently hosted a reception at the White House to celebrate lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender pride. Obama said, “ “I want you to know that in this task I will not only be your friend, I will continue to be an ally and a champion and a president who fights with you and for you. And I want you to know that I expect and hope to be judged not by words, not by promises I’ve made, but by the promises that I keep.” Obama went on to criticize Americans for “clinging to worn arguments and old attitudes about family.” (such as one man & one woman marriage?)

"Are environmentalists scaring your kids? There's a video currently making the rounds among schools (and on the Internet) which purports to explain to children how America's consumption of "stuff" is destroying the planet." I say "Amen" to the basic premise. Materialism is polluting the earth - and people's minds and souls.

Capitalism without conscience is social Darwinism ("survival of the fittest" - if you can exploit someone to your economic gain, then you have every right to do it). Capitalism with Christian standards is perfectly good and the best economic scenario, but do we see that in most companies? I doubt it.

I think that Christians need to rethink their buying habits. If we think that God created the earth, how should we use and treat it? What is Christian about buying things made by companies that exploit other people? Read the Old Testament prophets and the Gospels and see how often Jesus and the prophets warned against mistreatment of the poor. It was part of the reason why Sodom and Gomorrah where destroyed and part of why Israel was driven into exile. Remember that the church at Laodicea was warned about their materialism (Revelation). What would Jesus buy? What would He decide He could live without?

1 John 3:17 But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him?

Urgent - Contact your Senators
Item One: Sonia Sotomeyor

The United States deserves only the best people on its Supreme courts.

Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomeyor says that she is a poster child for “Affirmative Action.” She said that if it was not for Affirmative Action she would not have even gotten into college because of her poor grades and would not have advanced as she has.

Obama chose her because she would follow his radical socialist agenda rather than our Constitution when making decisions. She believes that our Constitution should be interpreted according to our culture, not as it was intended. Sotomeyor is a gun hating raciest that believes abortion is good for America and the world.

Please phone, fax and/or e-mail your two US Senators and tell them you do not approve of Sonia Sotomeyor for our Supreme Court. Tell them not to pay too much attention to what she says at the hearings, but to look at her record.

It has been reported that after the hearings, the Senators rush out to see what their constituents are saying. We must speak out. They are listening.

Item Two: Hate Crimes Bill

Majority Leader, Harry Reid is basically saying, protect the pedophiles or we will not pay the troops!

Reid is rushing the anti-faith Hate Crimes bill to the floor of the Senate this week by attaching it as an amendment to the Defense Authorization bill which Congress must pass in order to fund our military.

Reid knows opposition is growing and he fears the bill may not survive on its own.

We must contact our two US Senators and tell them we oppose the Hate Crimes amendment to the Defense Authorization bill.

We can stop this end run, but only if enough concerned Americans sound the alarm!

Find contact information for your federal and state government officials at: http://www.usa.gov:80/Contact/Elected.shtml

Please send separate correspondence on each subject.

"Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice.
