220 years ago, a group of radical, non conformist revolutionaries, signed the Constitution of the United States. I encourage all Americans to read it, see what it, and the amendments have to say. then see what the Bush administration is doing to ignore it. http://www.archives.gov/national-archives-experience/charters/constitution.html
First one: 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. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. I remember a quote that George W made about Wicca being recognised as faiths in 1986 and he said "I don't see witchcraft as a religion". Well Mr bush, it has a code of ethics, a god (and goddess), and a long history. ...or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press... Well allowing our net providers to fuck with our data...nuff said. ...or the right of the people peaceably to assemble.. Apparently a group called 'Peace fresno (clue's in the name) was marked a terrorist organisation! ...and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances... THE FOUNDING FATHERS WANT IMPEACHMENT TOO!
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Oh and you know why this was added? There was a threat that the Brits would try to invade the USA. Guess how many times that happend? Once, and it certainly isn't going to happen again....
There ya go, read it and see what the Govt. has done to trample it!!! They are sworn to uphold the constitution, they break that oath every day, time for a change.
I read this book on gun control once, cause I'm just weird like that, and it said that one of the reasons for the Second Amendment was so that slave holders could protect themselves from slave uprisings. Obviously, in America today, we do not need to protect ourselves from either slaves or Britons. Plus, over 100 people die in accidental shootings and suicides for each person killed in "self defense." Yeah. I'm not a fan of guns.
The main clause of the Second Amendment, states: "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The Second Amendment follows a common pattern of constitutional drafting from the Early Republic: There is a "purpose clause," followed by a main clause. Groups like Handgun Control, Inc., castigate the National Rifle Association and other Second Amendment champions for sometimes quoting only the main clause of the Second Amendment. The anti-gun groups argue that the main clause can't be properly understood unless the introductory clause is also quoted. But the United States Supreme Court does not seem to agree. Of the 29 U.S. Supreme Court opinions that have quoted the Second Amendment, 23 contain only a partial quote. This quoting pattern suggests that, generally speaking, Supreme Court justices have not considered the purpose clause at the beginning of the Second Amendment to be essential to the meaning of the main clause. So in effect the second amendment states: "The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Support it or go against our constitution, you make the call.
That's true. After all, he's the one that once said: "Stop throwing the Constitution in my face! It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!" I wish I were joking about this. Seriously, how can we elect people like that? (I heart the Constitution.) At my high school, they made us celebrate Constitution Day to get state funding, and our state legislature passed a law making us say the U.S. and state pledge every day. I never did, though. lol.
“Stop throwing the Constitution in my face. It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!” January, 2005 George W. Bush “The Constitution is an outdated document.” Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." January 20, 2001 George W. Bush US Constitution Section 4 - Disqualification The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. No wonder he hates the Constitution. Impeach Bush/Chaney
