The Balance of Power and The Bill of Rights to be Assured for the People
Target:
Senate and House of Representatives
Sponsored by:
We the Undersigned view that 'Executive Order' on July 17th , 2007 titled 'Blocking pf Property of certain Persons Who Threaten Stabilization Efforts in Iraq' is viewed to exceed the Presidential powers allowed in the US Constitution, and the violates Amendment I of the Bill of Rights.
Article II - Section 2 on Presidential Powers
The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.
He shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, judges of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the United States, whose appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by law: but the Congress may by law vest the appointment of such inferior officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the courts of law, or in the heads of departments.
Note: The Above does not provide the power to make 'Executive Orders' Only Congress is allowed to make laws, which the President may or may not sign
Amendment I
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.
We the Undersigned fear the following will ensue due to Executive Orders that are not by the consent of Congress by a 2/3rds vote:
1- By the President being allowed to make laws, such as Executive Orders with out the Consent of Congress, destabilizes the very foundation of the Constitution in terms of the Branches of Government, and their intended purpose.
2- By The President being allowed to remove Amendment I further destabilizes the Bill of Rights.
3- In this action of Executive Order(s) , the very foundation of the United States of America is compromised.
4- Anarchy will occur and the health, Safety and Welfare of the American People as a nation will be jeopardized.
By our collaborative efforts and the right to petition congress of this grievances, we demand that our representatives in Congress exercise Constitutional Confrontation, for our rightful representation as US Citizens, with the Executive Branch. And that until such actions are resolved by the Supreme Court, and representation reassured to the people, that all such Executive Orders are to be suspended.
The Congress should readily also be reminded, that by any Executive Order that threatens Amendment I, that even a petition to congress would be considered against such law, and viewed as illegal.
It is up to Congress to regain its Balance Of Power for the purposes of rightfully representing the people and protecting the Constitution by Law legislated by Congress.

The U.S. political system needs tent fumigation; Ron Paul is the only candidate who will ensure that this country-saving measure is performed, giving needed hope for America by delivering the Constitutional goods. With our efforts, Jeffersonian politics will rebirth America in 2008.

I am really tired of the Bush administration doing what ever they think they can he is a bigger threat to the United States than any outsider. He has stepped over his athority so many times and our Senate and Congessenal committees have allowed him to doso. WHY? I HAVE TO SAY THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT Thomas Jefferson said about our Government and that ""We The People Of the United need to take our Government back every 40 years!!!!"" We need to wake up and see that the establishment of the United States was to come and get away from the British Way of Government and to have the freedom to express our selfs. I am to say that since Bush has been in office that our country has has become that we the people have become enemies of our own COUNTRY because Bush has made it seem that he the repulican committee has the right to denouce us as people of the USA??? I am just not taking about the freedom but that every law enforcment person in the United States now believes that we the people of the United States are the enemies of this country. And now the man wants to start his own DICTAITORSHIP AGAINST US.... We need to wake up and see that we need to Impeach Bush and the rest of the Government and put the people that are not being paid by the big corporations and big oil companies, We need to take our Country back and the only way is to get the right people in office. i am one person that does not want to be tagged by a micro chip our to have my children have this put into their body so the goverment can keep track of them. I am one person that can say is that our political government needs to be reformed, and the only way to do it to vote for impeachment of all the political goverment in office now.

There is only one answer to Bush's way of thinking and that is IMPEACHMENT. There simply is no other way to prevent this Administration from continually overstepping it's boundaries. IMPEACH BUSH, CHENEY AND GONZALES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Our failure to impeach both Bush and Cheney establishes a dangerous precedent that expands the powers of the office of the President so much that the President becomes a King. It is the duty of the American people and the Congress to reign in the powers that Bush and Cheney have given themselves and begin impeachment proceedings immediately.

Let me guess. While you take care for petrolium in Iraq, if I understand well, it is now illegal in your country to desire peace and feed the people dying in There. Oh! I surely understand the exact purpose of it, you want them to starve so they can't defend themeselves, you want them to be sore and famish so they want be think about your infamy, be in pain till they lose the will to care? (Wait isn't what you ALSO do with your own people?) Plus you want to be perceived as a great savior once you will get to give one little bite of bread for million of people. Or is it that you dread terrorist (oh! I heard that word too much) financing inside your own borders?

I don't believe any one person should have that much power. We, the people, depend on the President to make good, sound decisions on our behalf and I don't feel he has done that. Just look at the mess our country is in and all of our rights being at stake.

Impeach Bush & Cheney. Question: How do you plan to access the general Election ballot in all 50 states? Under what label will you operate? And, who do you plan on voting for in the Presidential Primary in your state? Absent Ron Paul, none of the other candidates seems to have any repect for the US Constitution, even worse they seem to see it as an impediment, to Mr.Bush agenda, of enabling the parameters for a Dictatorship, with himself as President for Life.
