Oh Hey Congress

Hey congress I found something you may want to read during your little break. Its your job description. It can be found in the Constitution, maybe you've heard of it. Now I realize that most of you have not read it and would need lawyers to help you understand it so I have used a dumbed down version here, that I am sure most of you will still need lawyers to help you understand. I'll try my best to help you understand and when you start to feel confused, just take a deep breath and re-read it til it all makes sense OK? OK here we go then.

As members of Congress, your powers are:

To lay and collect taxes (something I know you understand all too well so I won't explain this)

To pay debt (Wait, stop for a minute and read that again. It says to pay debt, Not to create massive amounts of it)

To provide for the common defense and general welfare of the U.S. ( This will be hard for you liberals and too many of you republicans but like I said take a deep breath and read it again. This does NOT mean give people cars, health care, schooling, or digital T. V.. It means something more along the lines of make our country safe, and keep yourselves(government) and others who would want to hinder our progress out of our way so that we may work, learn, progress, and provide for ourselves to attain our own version of the American dream. This is really really tough for you politicians to understand, I know. This also DOES NOT mean steal from Americans to give to other Americans, that's called Marxism, not democracy.)

To borrow money (but remember that you will have to pay this debt so you are encouraged NOT to borrow money, especially from other countries and countries that do not have our (the U.S.) best interest at heart as this makes us vulnerable and goes against providing for the common defense and general welfare.)

To regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the states (this just means enough regulations to make us safe but not so many as to make it impossible to trade or puts all the control in government hands. America can not prosper and grow when our own government inhibits fair and easy trade)

To establish uniform rules of naturalization (this means making people not born in the U. S. citizens, however, this does not mean granting amnesty to millions of illegals.)

To coin money (this does not mean print money until it is worth nothing)

To set up lower federal courts

To declare war (To declare war on nations that are at war with us, not to declare war on the citizens of the U. S. that disagree with the actions of government.)

To raise and support an army and navy ( Now again this is hard for the liberals, but this is the exact opposite of cutting defense budgets and again when you do this it goes against providing for the common defense)

To provide for calling out the State militia to carry out the laws of the U. S., put down rebellion, and repel invasion ( could this include the invasion of millions of illegal immigrants?)

To govern an area not exceeding 10 miles square of the capitol of the U.S. (meaning Washington D. C.), and to govern forts, arsenals, dockyards, and other "needful buildings" ( This means leave States rights to the States, and this ten square miles does not include the automobile, banking, or health care industries)

To admit new states to the Union (Mexico is not a state)

To make rules and regulations for U. S. territories (Territories are not industries)

To "make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers" (Most laws you(Congress) make are not proper and definitely not necessary and therefore they should not be passed.)

Now again, I realize that you are politicians and you will need some help understanding all this, but take heart, we, your constituents (that means the people who voted for you), will let you know what we want. If you are still having a real hard time understanding it and what your voters want, that's OK, take heart, we'll just get rid of you when your term is up. Again I hope you have a nice recess, and that you and your lawyers can get this knowing and understanding the Constitution and your role in government thing all worked out. If you feel you still need more help, you can find me at my local tea parties, town hall meetings, and on the phone, Internets, or in the mail. I'll be the one letting you know I am mad as hell about what Congress and the President are doing, and how exactly I think you should stay out of it. I won't however being wearing swastika's or toting a Tommy gun with my other mob mafia members.
