Our Constitution: Use it or Lose it.
Contrary to what some are saying, our Consti-tution is still critically important. First and foremost among its virtues is the fact that it provides us with protec-tion against would-be and evolving tyrants.
The U.S. Constitution was written and imple-mented to act as a curb against the worst elements and tendencies of human nature, and there is no evidence to suggest that those elements and tendencies have significantly declined or moderated in mankind since the adoption of the Constitution 223 years ago. Therefore, the protection it affords us is still extremely valuable, even though some insist that the document is outdated.
Our Constitution was designed to distribute political power in such a way that it could not readily fall into the hands of an elite few. That is the whole purpose of the Constitution. The Founders knew that most men, with nothing to counter their personal ambitions and passions, would ultimately and invariably succumb to the weaknesses and vices that afflict, to one degree or another, all human beings.
Americans, be warned! Government is power; thus it is dangerous! Consequently it must be kept scrupulously under control and out of the hands those who exhibit even the slightest predilection for disregarding the rights of others.
If we continue to let our president and members of congress undermine and dismantle our Constitution, we are going to find ourselves living under a Nazi-like regime, a regime with vicious and savage propensities.
This will inevitably occur because power corrupts. We already see it happening. Many of our political leaders are growing arrogant, and no longer feel obligated or compelled to restrain themselves.
Wake up! Begin exercising your powers and rights as free Americans, powers and rights you retain explicitly through the 9th and 10th amendments to the Constitution. Start demanding absolute obedience to the Constitution as a condition of employment for your elected officials. The rules of government are clearly contained in the Constitution. Yet many holding our nation’s highest political offices are blatantly ignoring those rules. Therefore, they are cheating.
Don't be misled, the reason Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi habitually ignore the Constitution is because they resent the limitations it imposes upon them. They don’t want to be impeded in any way as they carry out their tyrannical ambitions. They want to be free to do as they damn well please.
They must be stopped! Please lend a hand!

Liberty vs. Tyranny
I already know every-thing I need to know to make the right choice in Nevada’s Sharron Angle vs. Harry Reid senate race.
He’s for big government; she isn’t.
Everything else is mere election-year rhetoric--the typical bruising and boisterous comments opposing candidates hurl at one another when they’re fighting for votes.
But here’s what sets Sharron Angle apart--miles apart from Harry Reid. Sharron Angle understands that the U.S. Constitution was written to place limits on the federal government. Furthermore, Sharron Angle appreciates why the Founders believed it was necessary to impose those limits.
Harry Reid doesn’t.
Harry Reid has demonstrated, beyond any reasonable doubt, that he is a staunch advocate of big government, meddlesome government, high-handed government. He has revealed himself to be a key member and player in the Washington faction that believes the people are stupid and government is all-knowing and wise.
Make no mistake about it. An ever-enlarging federal government, a government that is daily arrogating unconstitutional powers to itself, is a serious and dangerous threat to our liberty. A government that is recklessly sinking this country deeper and deeper into debt is a serious and dangerous threat to our liberty. A government that is intent upon robbing the industrious and thrifty so it may transfer their earnings to those who are not industrious and thrifty is a serious and dangerous threat to our liberty.
Fellow Nevadans: There is no time to waste. We must, this very moment, get started on the pressing task of down-sizing the federal government and stripping it of all its unconstitutional, and therefore illegal, powers. If we don’t, it will overtake us and consume us like a ravenous wolf. You can bet on it.
We, you and I, can begin that urgent down-sizing process right now by encouraging our relatives, friends and neighbors to get solidly behind Sharron Angle. Harry Reid and his like-minded cronies have brought untold grief and hardship to millions of Americans. And they’re not finished. They’re planning to unleash even more.
Without question, Harry Reid must go. And Sharron Angle is the ideal replacement.
Sharron Angle has courageously and candidly put her views and beliefs before the public. And in doing so she has taken a good deal of flak.
For instance, she believes that social security should be phased out. Well why not? It isn’t working and it’s going broke. Why not replace it with a system that returns control and responsibility back into the hands of the individual?
She also has said it is not the role of a U.S. Senator to create jobs. Well she’s right; it isn’t. In a free-market economy private enterprise creates the jobs and the government maintains a general atmosphere conducive to private enterprise, an atmosphere in which honest entrepreneurs can acquire capital, start a business, hire employees and grow, all without stifling government interference and taxation.
I strongly urge every Nevadan to take a fresh look at Sharron Angle. Harry Reid has served four terms in the U.S. Senate, and what has he accomplished in all those years? I’ll tell you what he has accomplished. His unwise votes in the Senate helped create the ruinous government policies that led this country into the most catastrophic economic disaster since the Great Depression.
Certainly no rational person is naïve enough to believe that this mess can be easily turned around. On the contrary, having a malignant tumor cut out of your body is always a painful experience. But if we truly love America, if we want it returned to its former vigor and glory, if we want it restored to the condition it was in before the big-government crowd got hold of it, we must systematically rid congress of those who are destroying it.
And in Nevada we now have before us a perfect opportunity to do just that. Come November, please take a bold and unequivocal stand against big government: Vote for Sharron Angle! Vote for liberty!
There is no better time than now to start putting our badly weakened and beleaguered country back on solid ground, and back into the hands of the people, where it rightfully belongs.
