The reason we got in this mess is because people did not respect this:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Easy enough to find it, try reading it.

at the present time, and everyday since October 7th the citizens of California have had there 10th amendment rights trampled over as the administration has launched an all out war against California's Voter passed Marijuana Laws. In addition, as of yesterday the US attorney's in California have begun Legal action against California media outlets that advertise for California Medical Marijuana providers.

Exactly. This isn't a partisan issue - it's a basic, constitutional issue.

An Amendment to the Constitution is required:

"A corporate entity, in and of itself, is not a person and, therefore, is not entitled to the rights and protections afforded to a person as set forth in the Constitution of the United States of America."

Concise language... I like it.

That's exactly why we need to abolish the Federal Reserve. They are the epitome of the NWO, the oligarchy of banksters and and big corporate monopolies that rule our guv through special interest bribes.

I agree. The Constitution vests money creation in the Congress, not a private banking institution.

The Fed is not in the Constitution. Congress has the authority to issue currency, Constitutionally.

The Congress of 1913. We've had to deal with it ever since.

The First and Second National Banks of the United States issued currency Constitutionally:

Article 1, Section 8 Powers of Congress

To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;

exactly the point.....is congress regulating anything? no, it's all done by a private bank.

powers of congress: "to regulate the value" not hire a bank to do it for you

I don't think we are in disagreement. You're just using my article as a way to link to the resource-based economy stuff, which is not the intention of the Constitution either.

You're right, but the Constitution didn't call for phony-capitalism either. Our government is meant to govern, not manipulate.
