Better late than
never...
Whether you voted Democratic or Republican, please read. This is
very serious.
We no longer have the checks and balances that our founding
fathers gave us. What muscle does the congress have? They do not
control any part of the military, FBI, Border Patrol, ICE, and the list goes
on. All of those police and military force type agencies fall under the
executive branch. The only power the congress has is the purse and with a
president who is willing to force the issue by shutting things down congress
will yield. Forget the courts. Who can enforce their rulings?
The executive branch does. The last four years have painted us into a
corner that can only be solved by changing presidents. This election is
for ALL of the marbles and don't ever forget that. Clyde

What you are about to read is accurate and it is
scary.
I was sitting at my keyboard halfway through my
writing a letter to you about how Barack Obama was fulfilling his pledge to
"Transform America" by "Changing the fundamentals of
America," so that our government would become the plantation, he the
owner, and we the slaves, when this article by Steve McCann appeared in my in
box. After checking it for accuracy, and finding it to be so, I put my writing
on hold and here present it to you, for I could not say it better.
Obama's Second Term Transformation Plans
The 2012 election has often been described as
the most pivotal since 1860.This statement is not hyperbole. If Barack Obama is
re-elected the United States will never be the same, nor will it be able to
re-capture its once lofty status as the most dominant nation in the history of
mankind.
The overwhelming majority of Americans do not
understand that Obama's first term was dedicated to putting in place executive
power to enable him and the administration to fulfill the campaign promise of
"transforming America " in his second term regardless of which
political party controls Congress. That is why his re-election team is
virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or prospective Democratic Party
office holders.
The most significant accomplishment of Obama's
first term was to make Congress irrelevant. Under the myopic and blindly loyal
leadership of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the Democrats have succeeded in
creating an imperial and, in a second term, a potential dictatorial
presidency.
During the first two years of
the Obama administration when the Democrats overwhelming controlled both Houses
of Congress and the media was in an Obama worshipping stupor, a myriad of laws
were passed and actions taken which transferredvirtually unlimited power to the
executive branch.
The birth of multi-thousand page laws was not an
aberration. This tactic was adopted so the bureaucracy controlled by Obama
appointees would have sole discretion in interpreting vaguely written laws and
enforcing thousands of pages of regulations they and not Congress would
subsequently write.
For example, in the 2,700 pages of ObamaCare
there are more than 2,500 references to the Secretary of Health and Human
Services. There are more than 700 instances when he or she is instructed
that they "shall" do something and more than 200 times when they
"may" take at their sole discretion some form of regulatory action.
On 139 occasions, the law mentions that the "Secretary determines."
In essence one person, appointed by and reporting to the president, will be in
charge of the health care of 310 million Americans once ObamaCare is fully
operational in 2014.
The same is true in the 2,319 pages of the
Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act which confers nearly unlimited power on various
agencies to control by fiat the nation's financial, banking and investment
sectors. The bill also creates new agencies, such as the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau, not subject to any oversight by Congress. This overall
process was repeated numerous times with other legislation all with the intent
of granting unfettered power to the executive branch controlled by Barack Obama
and his radical associates.
Additionally, the Obama administration has, through
its unilaterally determined rule making and regulatory powers, created laws out
of whole cloth. The Environmental Protection Agency on a near daily basis
issues new regulations clearly out of their purview in order to modify and
change environmental laws previously passed and to impose a radical green
agenda never approved by Congress. The same is true of the Energy and Interior
Departments among many others.
None of these
extra-constitutional actions have been challenged by Congress. The left in
America knows this usurpation of power is nearly impossible to reverse unless
stopped in its early stages.
It is clearly the mindset of this administration
and its appointees that Congress is merely a nuisance and can be ignored after
they were able to take full advantage of the useful idiots in the Democrat
controlled House and Senate in 2009-2010 and the Democrat Senate in the current
Congress.
Additionally, Barack Obama
knows after his re-election a Republican controlled House and Senate will not
be able to enact any legislation to roll back the power previously granted to
the Executive Branch or usurped by them. His veto will not be overridden as
there will always be at least 145 Democratic members of the House or 34 in the
Senate in agreement with or intimidated by an administration more than willing
to use Chicago style political tactics.
The stalemate between the Executive and
Legislative Branches will inure to the benefit of Barack Obama and his fellow
leftists.
The most significant power Congress has is the
control of the purse-strings as all spending must be approved by them. However,
once re-elected, Barack Obama, as confirmed by his willingness to do or say
anything and his unscrupulous re-election tactics, would not only threaten government
shutdowns but would deliberately withhold payments to those dependent on
government support as a means of intimidating and forcing a Republican
controlled Congress to surrender to his demands, thus neutering their ability
to control the administration through spending constraints.
Further, this administration has shown contempt
for the courts by ignoring various court orders, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico oil
drilling moratorium, as well as stonewalling subpoenas and requests issued by
Congress. The Eric Holder Justice Department has become the epitome of
corruption as part of the most dishonest and deceitful administration in
American history. In a second term the arrogance of Barack Obama and his
minions will become more blatant as he will not have to be concerned with
re-election.
Who will be there to enforce
the rule of law, a Supreme Court ruling or the Constitution? No one. Barack
Obama and his fellow-travelers will be unchallenged as they run roughshod over
the American people.
Many Republicans and conservatives dissatisfied
with the prospect of Mitt Romney as the nominee for president are
insteadfocused on re-taking the House and Senate. That goal, while worthy and
necessary, is meaningless unless Barack Obama is defeated . The nation is not
dealing with a person of character and integrity but someone of single-minded
purpose and overwhelming narcissism. Judging by his actions, words and deeds
during his first term, he does not intend to
work with Congress, either Republican or Democrat in his second term but rather
to force his radical agenda on the American people through the power he has
usurped or been granted.
The governmental structure of the United States
was set up by the founders in the hope that over the years only those people of
high moral character and integrity would assume the reins of power. However,
knowing that was not always possible, they dispersed power over three distinct
and independent branches as a check on each other.
What they could not imagine is
the surrender and abdication of its constitutional duty by the preeminent
governmental branch, the Congress, to a chief executive devoid of any character
or integrity coupled with a judiciary essentially powerless to enforce the law
when the chief executive ignores them.
Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican
Party and Mitt Romney must come to grips with this moment in time and their
historical role in denying Barack Obama and his minions their ultimate goal.
All resources must be directed at that end-game and not merely controlling
Congress and the various committee chairmanships.

I would add but 6 words to those above
mentioned, Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney,
to say "and we the American people," must also come to grips with
this moment in time and our role in denying Barack Obama his life long goal of "transforming"
us into his slaves working on his government plantation.
Please expose this to all you can; maybe
together we can save America for ourselves and those who will follow after us.
