Calif. must Demand changes to the US Gov or threaten to Secede

By John H. Webster

The US Federal Government is becoming the Evil empire, we as Californians can not sit ideally by waiting for a majority of Congress to realize this.

-- The United States Government is becoming the Evil Empire. Most people just don't understand what the "Bill of Rights" in the US Constitution really is. Those first Ten Amendments to the Constitution do NOT give us our Rights. The Individual's Rights come from the fact that we each have a mind capable of independent thought (and if you are religious, the design of our minds and brains of course came from our Creator, God). Our Rights are Pre-constitutional.

The Bill of Rights was put into the Constitution in order to protect our Government from Itself; to prevent the Government from becoming so tyrannical that it would ethically justify its violent overthrow.

What this means is that in recent years when our leaders were figuring out cute and clever ways to get around the restrictions in the Bill of Right, they were in effect creating cute and clever ways to ethically justify our Government's and our Country's demise.

-- The United States Government is becoming the instrument of our enslavement. Originally of course, our Government was the Protector of our Freedom. But as it spends more and more money, money that it has to borrow, on Liberal Free Goodies to sprinkle on the Masses, eventually in the not too distant future the Government won't be able to borrow anymore. The Total Tax Revenue will all go toward just paying the Interest of the National Debt with NO money left over for ANY benefits to the People. Yet we will still be forced, by threats of forfeiture and incarceration to pay those ever increasing taxes.

-- The US Government is now controlling many issues that should be under State control. The reach of the "Promote the General Welfare" and "Interstate Commerce" clauses of the Constitution have been extended to the absurd. Now many Federal departments and agencies are mandating compliance to regulations even when those regulations are in conflict with State law. One obvious example is in the Federal effort to shut down California's Medical Marijuana programs.

What we must demand:

-- A reinstatement of the Bill of Rights and of the Right to Habeas Corpus, and not for just US Citizens but for ALL people within the jurisdiction of the US Government.

-- A solid backing of the US Dollar, with no additional borrowing by the US Government, and no creating of new money out of thin air through printing or through accounting tricks.

-- That Taxes be legally associated with the benefits we get from Government, so that failure of Government to protect our Rights (the most important benefit we are supposed to get from Government), or extreme disparity between the amount paid in Taxes and the benefits we receive, could then be used as legal justification for non-payment of taxes. Hopefully this would result in Government treating us more as customers rather than as assets to be liquidated at its convenience.

-- That the US Government stop interfering in the Medical Marijuana programs of California.
