The constitution is a list of what the government "Can't" do not a list of what the people cant do! That's why the constitution was made by the people keep our government in check! Because at the time, they say when the constitution was written America came out from under the control and rule of a monarch and didn't want another centralized government or army. And whether if that's true or not we should have that same attitude or desires to have full control over our lives. I know not everything in the constitution is written to protect us but that don't mean you cut it out completely... you focus on the parts that can do something for us or at least show how corrupt our government is!
Our 1st amendments is the "freedom of religion,speech, press and the right of the people to peacefully assemble". And we know that our 1st amendment is being violated by censorship and Hate Speech/Hate crime Legislation and now with the internet license bill they are trying to pass. Where you will have to get a license to get a blog site!!! Our 2nd amendment is "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms and shall not be infringed". Giving the people the right to be the last stand against a oppressive government and defend there property and state. . And the first part of the 1st amendment is to have "a well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State"! Americas founding fathers apposed a standing army because that's how it was in Britain. Which America didn't want a part of. They only wanted a navy for defending our waters with local state militia's (the people) to defend our state borders not soldiers! That's why they always make militia's sound bad or associate them with a terrorist group in the media! So you wont join one! And they want to take all our guns away with every gun Bill or treaty that's passed!
In the 9th and 10th Amendment. It will tell you each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right. So that means congress don't have the power to do health care, energy, education, money, police or even the resent bailouts or control everything that it does in our 52 states!! It goes against the constitution!!
Now we (the minority) were not there when they wrote the constitution nor were they thinking about us. But because we live in America this is relevant to us now and it can be used by us! To Fight fire with fire! Look at it like this.. "We The People" gave birth to our government, we are the masters of government and they are the subjects of the people!! "We The People" established these rights, not the public "officials" or the judges.. etc No! "We The People" did! So we are the authority, the law givers based the constitution. Even in the Declaration Of Independents tells the role of our government to "secure our rights of life, liberty and the peruse of happiness and are instituted among men". So if our government is not securing those right, its the duty and the right of people to remove such government and establish a new one!
Basically we need to pimp the system like they pimp us...
Peace..
