The following is from a
special guest writer. Her name is
Kathleen Dynan. She is a former
high school English teacher, and
the last 15 years of her
career have been spent as an
independent Executive Recruiter.
She and her husband, Frank, reside
in Cape May, New Jersey. She is
now dedicating her time to help
awaken America to the threat of
Socialism and Tyranny. She has
joined with us, in her words, "In
this life or death war to preserve
America as a truly free country."
I urge you to read her message,
and as you do keep in mind the
only significant differences in
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton
are physical.
Tyranny is defined in the Merriam
Webster Dictionary
as: cruel and
unfair treatment by people
with power over others; a
government in which all power
belongs to one person.
Escaping the tyranny of
a monarch was the reason America
was founded. Our
Declaration of Independence from
another country, England, states:
"That whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the Right of the
People to alter or to abolish it,
and to institute new Government,
laying its foundation on such
principles and organizing its
powers in such form, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect
their Safety and Happiness."
Our forefathers fought a
war to earn America's freedom from
tyranny.
Our Founding Fathers wanted to
be sure that America
would remain the country of free
people. To that
end, they provided a legal,
peaceful method within our Constitution
to strip an internal tyrant of
power. It is the
tool of Impeachment defined in the
Constitution,
Article II, Section 4: "The
President, Vice President and all
Civil Officers of the United
States, shall be removed from
office on impeachment for, and
conviction of, Treason, Bribery,
or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors." The
House of Representatives issues
the impeachment charges and the
Senate conducts the trial.
Two American Presidents have
been impeached. Andrew
Johnson, the 17th President,
was impeached on grounds of
disregarding the Tenure of
Office Act of 1867. It
prohibited a President from
dismissing office holders
without the Senate's approval.
He was impeached by the
House of Representatives for
trying to throw Edwin Stanton,
the Secretary of War, out of
office. The
Senate was one vote short of
the two-thirds majority needed
to convict him and he was
acquitted May
26, 1868. Political
maneuvering is cited as the reason
there was not a conviction.
William J. Clinton, the 42nd
President, was the second
impeached. He
was charged with four crimes
and impeached in the House of
Representatives on two of
those, grand jury perjury and
obstruction of justice.
Again, the Senate
failed to secure the
two-thirds majority needed to
convict and he was acquitted
February 12, 1999. Again,
political maneuvering is cited
as the reason there was not a
conviction.
Also, Richard Nixon, the 37th
President, had three articles
of impeachment issued by the
House of Representatives on July
20, 1974. Nixon
resigned his office on August 9,
1974, before the House voted to
impeach him.
In
all three instances, the Constitution
did its job. What
the Founding Fathers did not
foresee was that people
elected to represent the
citizens would thwart our
country's guiding document,
the Constitution,
for personal or party gains.
America
has evolved into two parties, the
Democrats and the Republicans.
For too many of those
elected to our Congress, the
desire to keep their individual
power and to maintain their
party's control over spending our
tax dollars is more important than
ensuring that the Constitution
is enforced.
Another safeguard in the Constitution
to protect us against tyranny
is the assignment of specific
powers to three separate
branches of the Federal
Government, the Executive,
Legislative and Judicial
branches. No
branch may infringe on the
powers of the others. By
not taking the appropriate
action, impeaching Obama, the
Congress has subjected us to
having a Tyrant, not a
President, heading the
Executive branch of the
Federal government.
In August, 2013, Business
Daily listed several
laws Obama has broken.
He chooses what laws do
and don't suit his needs and
ignores the latter. He
is usurping the law-making
power the Constitution
gives solely to the
Legislative branch of the
Federal government, the
Congress.
Obama circumvented the
immigration law, deciding not
to deport illegal immigrants
under the age of 30. He
unilaterally has and continues
to change Obamacare. These
are only two examples on a
very long list. After
Congress enacts a bill and the
President signs it, it is the
law of the land. It
can not be changed
arbitrarily. Changes
are legal only when they are
introduced and approved by the
Congress as a revocation of or
an amendment to the original
law.
Business
Daily
also lists actions Obama has taken
that usurp the power the Constitution
gives only to the Judicial
branch of the Federal government.
This tyrant ignores court
decisions. Re-imposing
a moratorium on off-shore drilling
after the courts struck down his
original moratorium and refusing
to remove his appointees to the
National Labor Relations Board
after those appointments were
ruled unconstitutional are only
two examples of his illegal
actions.
It is time for Congress to
follow the rules; it must act
and do what the Constitution
demands. Breaking
laws and usurping power are
not allowable actions for any
President. It
is time to impeach and to try
the forty-fourth President,
Barack Obama. This
tyrant must be stopped in
order to preserve America
as it was intended to be, a
country of free people without a
tyrant or a central power
controlling her citizens.
This time, politics can not be
allowed to over-ride the Constitution.
Those in
Congress who value their
individual power and their
party's control over spending
our tax dollars more than
working for our best interests
must be stopped. Use
your voice, your vote, your
power as citizens. Demand
that Congress represent our
interests by impeaching and
convicting the tyrant in the
Executive Branch. Save
America from Obama
by stripping him of his office. Return
control of America to her
citizens.
Unfortunately, Americans face
an intentional lack of
education in our public-school
system to teach our youth how
America is
governed and their role and
responsibility as citizens.
So, citizens must educate
themselves. Read
the Constitution.
It is readily available on
line or in many libraries.
Before you vote again,
prepare to cast an informed vote.
Know what candidates have
achieved and what their actions
demonstrate about their belief in
protecting our individual rights
and freedoms. Research
candidates yourself; make your own
decisions. Elect
those who will live by their job
description as it is defined in
our Constitution.
That job is to represent
us.
