Save the Constitution... Start with the 2nd Amendment
Our country is defined by the Constitution of the
At no other time in the history of this great country have so many of the original amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, in our constitution been under attack. Many of you do not see the attack because they do not reach congress for debate; they are instead forced down our throats by "Executive Order." I intend to discuss each of these issues in the coming weeks and months, but first, I will concentrate on the one amendment that makes all of the others possible: The Second Amendment.
We have all heard about the right to keep and bear
arms. The intent of this amendment is to
protect us, all of us, from the TYRANNY of an overbearing government.
The Merriam-Webster on-line dictionary defines tyranny as an
"oppressive power; especially: oppressive power exerted by government." It further defines tyranny as "a
government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler..." We have this in the United States, in both
cases. The actual examples are too
abundant for me to include all. However
as an example, look at the way "Obamacare" is being force-fed to
Catholic hospitals when provisions of the new "Affordable Health Care
Plan" are contrary to the religious beliefs of the church. You would expect to see discussions about
this in all of the major tabloids. But
you don't. Major media does little to
expose the short-comings of our current government. To actually find out what is going on in the
USA, you need to look to foreign news agencies.
Take a look at what other countries say about the president's king-like powers otherwise known as executive orders. See what the Canadian's have to say about
Obama's executive orders:
To protect the Constitution of the United States, we need to
step up now! And to any sane person, it
is unsavory situation to insist on our right to keep and bear arms after
Sandy Hook. However, it was not a law
abiding citizen that did this terrible deed... so there is no reason that law
abiding citizens should be attacked for this.
Penalizing law abiding gun owners for Sandy Hook is much like punishing
all drivers for the act of a single drunk driver. If a drunk, driving a truck forces a bus full
of school children off a cliff, do we automatically outlaw motorcycles because
they are scary? No, off course we don't,
because we look at the situation sensibly.
We must examine this situation sensibly or risk loosing our freedom.
I want to urge everyone to e-mail your NY Senate and
Assembly Representatives. Please let them know that you support the 2nd
Amendment of the US Constitution. Let
them know them know how you feel:
"I am writing to you today to
urge you to vote against Governor Coumo's short sighted gun control
measures. As you know the second
Amendment guarantees each of us the right to keep and bear arms. The reason for this amendment is spelled out
clearly in the writings of our forefathers and they specified that these rights
were God-given and "shall not be infringed."
The Governor's proposed gun
control measures will infringe upon law abiding gun owners only. We can do far more good by simply enforcing
the existing laws. Please do what is
right - Your State and your Country depend on you!"
It is important for all of us to weigh in on these issues
now, before they become clouded by the spin doctors in the media.
