I have faith in God! Little faith in man acting on God's behalf.

How can and why do Republicans keep saying they are protecting the Constitutional way of life? I know they seem to think the framers of The Constitution, based it on Christian values, if that is true why wasn't it written into our Constitution. Nowhere within does it specifically mention Christianity or God. The first four Presidents of this country were not like the Christians of today, they believed in a natural God shocking I know.

Since then many people keep trying to change history and The Constitution like the Christian faithful, President’s and The Congress continue trying, to bring God into the Government of The United States. Being a nation of laws, and a Democracy Republic, with everyone having an equal voice and vote taking part in the government. By bring only the Christian God into the government we will be doing the opposite of why the framers kept it out. Christian colonists branded non-christians on the forehead with red-hot irons, bore them through their tongues, confiscated their property and threw them in jail, hanged them and burned them at the stake. Even now some Christians are claiming that non-Christians are "criminals under the CONSTITUTION".  Again Article one "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." That means people can freely exercise whatever religious belief they wish. Thanks to the Constitution, Christians can no longer persecute and kill those who do not agree with them. The framers of this Democracy Republic were men of great faith in God. However for the freedom of all the people, it had to be based on the rule of Law.

Seeing what is happening all over this country. Conservatives often never blink an eye when supporting freedoms for straight, white Christian males—but for everyone else, those freedoms are often debatable.

Case in point:

Seeking to ban abortion, though our Supreme Court (per the powers given to the court by our Constitution) says a woman’s right to choose is a constitutionally protected right (Roe v. Wade).

Defining marriage as only between a man and a woman, based on some religious beliefs. Though our Supreme Court (per the powers given to the court by our Constitution) says it is a legal right between two adults.

The Affordable Care Act passed by Congress, signed by the President and upheld as Constitutional by the Supreme Court (per the powers given to the court by our Constitution).

Being a Christian I believe in the freedom of choice, I will not force my choice on anyone for my faith doesn't allow me to judge anyone. When my judgement day I will stand before God and accept my judgement, for God is the only one who can see what's in my heart.

An email forwarded to me from a friend.

That today I learned from another friend it's old news and has been around for years. Now I don't put other people's stuff on my blog. However this came as news to me. So for my friends that don't live in United States, please don't laugh too hard at me or us for too long. Learning that the people we vote to represent us in the United States Congress. Once there they no longer seem to work for the people who sent them there. If Warren Buffet wrote this and it's true which I hope it is but wish it's not. Understanding now why so much money is spent trying to get elected to public office, this year alone over a billion dollars will be spent in advertising not counting what will be spent in the race for President. 

This is a copy of the email that was sent to me

Winds of Change....

Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward

this email to a minimum of twenty people on their

address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

This is one idea that really should be

passed around.

_*Congressional Reform Act of 2012*_

1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

The following was not in the email.

Did a bit of fact checking and this is what I found.

(As of  January, 1 1984 Congress participates in Social security.

Members of Congress receive retirement and health benefits under the same plans available to other federal employees. They become vested after five years of full participation.)

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into

the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.   Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/31/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.

Congressmen/women made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in

Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their

term(s), then go home and back to work.

  

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

I guess We The People have little say in government when the people who make the laws don't have to abide by them. If my math is right 535 people make up the legislative branch of government. Members of Congress receive retirement and health benefits under the same plans available to other federal employees. They become vested after five years of full participation. Can anyone outside of congress say they are vested after only working for just 5 years? 

#5. Like to see how much they like the Health care system after paying for their own premiums for a few years.

It is my view that congress isn't working to make life better for the people of the this country, but then again we can't afford the advertising needed to get them elected but the new person named corporation can. One question the humans that work for a corporation do they get to vote twice? Once as a human then as a corporation. Just saying don't make sense, why The United State Supreme Court ruled that way. I maybe wrong about everything I wrote in this. Just saying what I think, the system doesn't work right or the way it should.

Okay I'll get off my soap box now thanks for reading!
