I am writing to you about the proposed economic stimulus package being considered in the Senate Appropriations Committee this week.

Listen Democrats and RINOs.  We need to let FREEDOM (from Government) undo the whole mess you created through your constitutionally contemptuous legislation and behaviors.  You all need to go back and read both our founding documents and reverse the damage you have done since the inception of The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the sham of what you think allows you to control the people in the land of THE FREE by the way of taxes and a humongous Federal Government that was never intended to exist by our Founders as evidenced by numerous writings, documents and formal records of the members of the Continental Congress. 

There were specific reasons why the Federal Government was created with a very limited ability to raise funding by way of the tax / apportionment clause of the Constitution and the concerns of Thomas Jefferson and, later, President Jackson with regards to a “central bank”. 

Now We The People are suffering hardships for your end run around The Constitution and The Declaration of Independence.  These hardships will be far worse than the “normal” business cycles which naturally occur with the prosperity that FREEDOM generates, and of which your predecessors and the powerful banker interests used as an excuse to legislate and pass The Federal Reserve Act; which has resulted in endless funding of endless programs by the Federal Government, yielding a usurpation of our power as masters over our servant Government. 

In order to cover the interest on ceaseless borrowing from the central bank, which is completely unconstitutional, your predecessors have claimed to have overridden The Constitutional clause that forbids a direct tax on our fellow countrymen.  But yet there are Supreme Court cases clearly stating that the Sixteenth Amendment has no tax impact on ordinary American earnings and thus the only legal tax is an apportioned tax, which we all realize is politically unsustainable over the long run (and for good reasons of which we now learn through contemporary experience). 

nothing to back up its value or the “promise to pay” of said “NOTE”.  

Meanwhile our economy is crashing around us as you refuse to allow freedom to work to allow for the harvesting of domestic energy supplies in and around our country; All as a result of your actions, behaviors and contempt for The Constitution.  And, yet you continue to create Socialist programs that economically and mathematically can not support themselves.

According to The Washington Times article of July 2nd, 2007 Op-Ed, Social Security and Medicare ALONE, will be $90 TRILLION DOLLARS in UNFUNDED debt, over the infinite horizon.  Who is going to pay for that?  I sure to God hope you are not even thinking about taking more money out of our take-home pay in the form of “payroll” taxes and withholding!  Especially at a time that we can not afford to pay for our gasoline, utility, and food bills all due to your contempt for the rule of law as ordained and established by us through the Constitution of the United States.  Who the hell are you to make us so dependent on Socialism that you make some of us believe we could never do without it?  The fact is you are actually and knowingly making it so.  Why, for the power you will then be able to usurp from us to the point that there is then no FREEDOM (from Government) at all?

You should all be ashamed!  I am utterly disgusted with nearly all of you in both houses of Congress.

Mark my words, Congressmen; Someday the American people will fully wakeup and realize what you have done to us.  We will self educate ourselves, necessary due to the fact that we have not been taught about freedom (which, according to our founding fathers means freedom from and power OVER Government through self-governance) and the prosperity and low prices that it brings, through the government sponsored school system that has left such a void of American history, heritage, economics and basic constitutional knowledge of our rights and enumerated powers of the Federal Government.  But wakeup we will, for the urgency of the damage and the oncoming hardship that you have and are causing to us and our posterity, for your constitutionally scofflaw behaviors will make life unbearable and will certainly cause the American Dream, our very way of life and the very essence of our FREEDOM to otherwise disappear into the darkness of the chains and bondage of the soup kitchens of the Socialist welfare state.  Personally I don’t know how you can live with yourselves for the mockery you have done to your constitutional oath and to your own countrymen.

If you had any hint of decency you would enact legislation to reverse the course of Government, shrink it’s size to THE Constitutionally intended size and enumerated powers/responsibilities and educate the public on why you are reversing and stepping down all Federal Socialist programs for the good of the economy, the long term economic health for our people and for FREEDOM.  Additionally and most especially you need to coin and mint our money as the LAW requires in the constitution and omit The Federal Reserve System, which is nothing more than a private closely held company that collects nearly all OUR income taxes in the form of interest.  Why are we paying interest on our own tax money, that the Government “borrows” from The Federal Reserve company who collects it from us through the IRS, anyway?
