But, it appears to be true! With all the frenzy about the new spying “law” that’s being imposed on us, I was doing a little research on the subject and came across EFF’s Class-Action Lawsuit against AT amp;T populist Tue, 07 Aug 2007 05:21:52 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/protect_america_act__cheetah_for_tyranny The single largest anti-Constitutional contribution to the Bush Regime by the Protect America Act (PAA) is its effective cancellation of legislative and judicial oversight on warrantless wiretapping. It authorizes open-ended surveillance of Americans overseas phone calls and e-mails without a warrant.When this bill was signed into law on 08-05-07, legislative and judicial power in the executive branch instantly grew by several orders of magnitude. The Constitution s separation-of-powers principle had its arms ripped off. populist Fri, 21 Sep 2007 01:14:17 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/an_open_letter_to_bill_moyers_and_howard_zinn So we want to get out of this mess, but how? It's not going to happen through legislation from a branch controlled by special interests. Only an amendment to the Constitution can save us now. Only a 28th Amendment to the Constitution has the political might to break the institutionalized corruption of the status quo. populist Mon, 08 Jan 2007 18:48:44 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/an_urgent_task_for_the_new_congress what could be more important than Congress fulfilling its responsibilities in dealing with very serious questions that go to the heart of our Constitution, laws, our democracy and the honor of the United States of America? populist Wed, 25 Oct 2006 05:01:52 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/can_republics_and_democracies_really_co_exist It is unrealistic and impossible to expect a government to abide by the strict letter of the Constitution. Doing so is choosing to be condemned to the very history our founding fathers fought to change. Had they known that the true nature of government is power, they might have thought differently, or fought harder to limit that power. populist Wed, 15 Nov 2006 17:54:16 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/christians_hindus_and_the_american_challenge If you support religious freedom, and admit that this nation is a secular one, then you must grant the same freedoms to other religions. Therefore, the Senate should next open with a Wiccan prayer, a chant to Zeus, an ode from the Upanashads, a passage from the Popul Vu, a selection from the Enuma Elish, a page from the Tao Te Ching, a paragraph from the Quran, and so on.But fundamentalists don t want this. Instead they seek the transformation of America into Iran populist Wed, 08 Aug 2007 16:20:13 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/clarification_of_the_uses_of_impeachment We have seen a great deal of nitpicking as to what constitutes a high crime and misdemeanor, but it is obvious from the context that one of the greatest high crimes and misdemeanors is a breach of public trust. populist Sun, 26 Nov 2006 17:31:05 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/contempt_for_the_bottom_feeders_in_dc As a taxpayer and a voter, I want to know what happened. I want to know what happened to my Constitution, which you swore to protect and defend, not shred and discard. It is NOT just a g-d piece of paper. It is what distinguishes the United States of America. populist Thu, 02 Aug 2007 16:13:17 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/countdown_to_dictatorship Our Constitution was written by men who knew at first hand what unbridled power could do. They had just fought a long and desperate war to free themselves from King George, who could dissolve the parliament at will, dictate the fate of anyone in his far-flung empire, and was also known to be a bit nuts. populist Mon, 05 Feb 2007 18:39:20 GMT http://www.populistamerica.com/dont_forget_the_greatest_crime When someone commits a criminal act leading to mayhem, it is irresponsible not to deal with the mayhem. It is also irresponsible to allow the criminal who caused the mayhem to be the one dealing with it. Most irresponsible is the failure to hold the criminal accountable. populist Tue, 09 Jan 2007 18:52:55 GMT
