Lest you think "things" aren't that serious

[baldeagle]

Recall that our Founding Fathers, when penning the Declaration of Independence, articulated fully the things that compelled them to "alter and abolish" the form of government under which they currently labored:

The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
The NDAA, the Patriot Act, rendition, torture, unlawful detention of citizens without habeas corpus
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
Obamacare tried to force states to increase Medicaid spending. Only a Supreme Court decision stopped them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
Democrats have used closed door sessions, shutting out the Republicans, to write legislation that was opposed by more than 50% of Americans
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
The government is presently engaging in defacto amnesty, ignoring the laws passed by a duly elected legislature.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
Justices have been deliberately chosen to circumvent and subvert the Constitution.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
Numerous "Czars" have been appointed, unaccountable to the people, and Executive Departments like the EPA have run roughshod over our rights.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
Not yet, but does anyone believe it's far off?
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
Our oil and gas industry has been constantly thwarted from producing while we borrow money to fund foreign country's efforts to produce oil for sale to us.
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
And without our knowledge. There are 18 new taxes in Obamacare alone.
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
Label us a terrorist and we can't even discuss it. We simply disappear.
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
By Executive Order the President has effectively bypassed the Legislature, and the legislature had elected to do nothing about it.
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
Our legislature has even encouraged our President to rule by fiat.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
Our politicians have worked to set us one against another, deriding the rich, insurance companies, white people, people "clinging to religion and guns" and on and on and on

As Herman Cain pointed out, we have some "altering and abolishing" to do. It must be done if we are to continue as a free people. We can either elect the right people or we will be forced to use other means or we will all become slaves. Those are our choices.

Don't forget the property seizure laws. Simply the taking of property without any criminal conviction involved.
