Please feel free to comment in response: do you support Biden or Trump? I am interested to learn your reasons, please. This is a safe space which is meant for the open sharing of opinions. I will be courteous and respectful, and ask the same of you.

Senator,

Many voices are raising a warning that S 1867 The National Defense Authorization Act bill contains language which grants the executive branch the power to use the military in the U.S. against American citizens, and to allow for indefinite detention of suspected or accused terrorists.

One source, the ACLU, says:

"In support of this harmful bill, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) explained that the bill will “basically say in law for the first time that the homeland is part of the battlefield” and people can be imprisoned without charge or trial “American citizen or not.” Another supporter, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) also declared that the bill is needed because “America is part of the battlefield.”

The solution is the Udall Amendment; a way for the Senate to say no to indefinite detention without charge or trial anywhere in the world where any president decides to use the military. Instead of simply going along with a bill that was drafted in secret and is being jammed through the Senate, the Udall Amendment deletes the provisions and sets up an orderly review of detention power. It tries to take the politics out and put American values back in.

In response to proponents of the indefinite detention legislation who contend that the bill “applies to American citizens and designates the world as the battlefield,” and that the “heart of the issue is whether or not the United States is part of the battlefield,” Sen. Udall disagrees, and says that we can win this fight without worldwide war and worldwide indefinite detention."

I am very concerned that with the USA Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act of 2006, basic civil liberties are being traded away for security, and we are duplicating a pattern seen in totalitarian regimes of the past; we are moving further into a harsh police state environment.

I am further concerned that fear of terrorism has spawned a lucrative security-industrial complex which threatens to inhibit the freedoms our Founders fought to free us from--all in the name of increased security. The profit incentives encourage a rising level of fear which may or may not be justified, but which results in an increasingly restrictive and potentially abusive police state.

I for one have less fear of terrorists than I do of a terrorizing Federal government. We have seen the patterns before in such places as Germany, Russia, China, Cambodia, and other places. Let us not go down the path they went; let us not trade our liberty for a secure dictatorship.

Please carefully examine S1867 in light of these concerns, and if appropriate, support Senator Udall's amendment--or introduce your own amendment.

Thank you for defending our liberties.

My recent email to Senator Orrin Hatch:
---------------------------------------

June 2, 2011

Senator Hatch,

Sir, with some small hope remaining I write to you for what may be the last time. I believe you to be a man of conviction, courage, and experience—and this gives me hope that you will recognize the perils and requirements of our day and rise to meet them with your considerable ability.

I appeal to you with the same plea I made to Senator Bennett on April 19, 2010. Sadly, Senator Bennett would not or could not respond as our perilous times require, and the people recognized that. I and many others could not continue to support him. I am genuinely sorry that after a lifetime of accomplishment Senator Bennett lost the opportunity to emerge as one of the foremost patriots of our day. I hope that you will follow a different path than the one he chose.

From my letter to (then) Senator Bennett:

“I have written you before and I have had dialog with you in open public meetings. I have begged you--yes, begged you--to take the principled positions which would allow and encourage me to support you. I have told you that I want you to be my man in Washington. Specifically, if and when you take an uncompromising, principled, and outspoken position on constitutional principles, I am with you, and I believe a majority of Utahns will join us.

Without a revolutionary about-face, I will no longer be supporting Senator Bennett. This is a time in history for a bold, unconventional and unprecedented restoration of constitutional principles. This is a time to break with the Washington pack and join with Utahns in demanding a constitutional restoration. I urge you with all the force I have to be the James Madison or Thomas Jefferson of our day! Your whole life has led you to this opportunity and you have a choice: be just another player in the tired old bi-partisan band, or go down in history as a principal star in the constitutional fight of our generation. If you truly change and become the constitutional champion of the people of Utah, you will have the support of an awakened, energetic constituency. The Mike Lees and Cheryl Eagers of the campaign will have nothing to offer! You will have excited grass-roots support with cheering supporters at every town meeting you hold. The press won't know what to make of it; ‘Senator Bennett arrives home to hundreds of cheering constituents.’ Wouldn't it be great to have town meetings where you received standing ovations instead of spending two hours defending yourself?

This is your time, Senator, and I pray to our Heavenly Father that you will seize this day and join with "we the people" in our fight to restore the Constitution and its righteous principles. Your immediate, vigorous, passionate, and genuine embrace of constitutional principles above all else will mark the day that Robert Bennett's name was added to the list of the outstanding patriots of the United States of America.’

Senator Hatch, you may feel that you are a staunch defender of the Constitution—in fact, your web site states that you are. Yet you are not because you have allowed to go unchallenged usurpations and concentrations of powers which the Founders clearly intended to prevent, to be taken by the Executive Branch. As an example, I cite your agreement with allowing the President to wage undeclared war in Libya. Perhaps you feel that technically the War Powers Act allows the President to start wars and continue them for 60 days. While I recognize the legitimacy of granting the President use of the military in protecting our nation when attacked, there is no moral or Constitutional justification in waging offensive wars without a Congressional declaration of war. Even declaring a world-wide war on terror does not justify abandoning the Constitution and its principles. If you disagree with me, there is a very broad disconnect between your values and mine-and many of the people I associate with.

I will end this letter in the same manner as I did my letter to Senator Bennett:

“In closing, God bless you and your family. You have made a tremendous effort and sacrifice for our nation. I believe wholeheartedly that you are a good man, and I respect you. In the upcoming weeks, I will monitor your public announcements in the hopes of a profound and revolutionary transformation of the politician to patriot. I do not want to join forces with another candidate, but if you don't hear again from me, it will be because I've done all I can to sway you. I will be supporting the candidate who most strictly honors the oath of office to ‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.’”

Thank you,

Marty W. Jensen

The following is a copy of the email I sent to my Utah state legislators. I encourage all Utahns to support the efforts of Representative Carl Wimmer in defending our liberties.
...........................................................
Representative Pitcher,

Please stand with Rep. Wimmer in principle and action in being a staunch and active defender of our liberties, against the increasing tyranny of the Federal government. Following is a copy of the email I sent to Rep. Wimmer. I hope you feel as I do, for we are most surely in perilous times, and this is no time to by shy in our defense of our liberties.

----------------------------------------------------------
Representative Wimmer,

I read the following statement, which was attributed to you by the Utah Valley Daily Herald:

"The absolute overbearing audacity of the federal government in threatening Texas while Texas is trying to protect their citizens should really offend any red-blooded American."

I agree with you completely. The Federal government is increasingly disregarding its Constitutionally defined duties and restrictions, the result of which is a encroachment on the liberties of the citizens of this nation. The TSA has gone far beyond the reasonable conduct of it's mission, and I fear the spread of Federal government thuggery beyond airport security. I do not want to live in a police state, and I believe that airline travel may be only marginally safer as a result of the TSA. Rather, arm every passenger on board every flight and see how far a hijacker gets. Stripping citizens of their civil liberties will not make them safer.

I applaud and support your introduction of a bill to restrict the TSA's activities. Please continue your courageous leadership in opposing Federal usurpation of states' powers. Please continue to safeguard our liberties on all fronts.

Thank you for all you do,

Marty W. Jensen

Why do we see a constant assault on life, liberty, and Constitutional freedoms? Perhaps this quote by President Ezra Taft Benson, prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormons") sheds some light:

"I testify that wickedness is rapidly expanding in every segment of our society. It is more highly organized, more cleverly disguised, and more powerfully promoted than ever before. Secret combinations lusting for power, gain, and glory are flourishing. A secret combination that seeks to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries is increasing its evil influence and control over America and the entire world." (October 1988)

What we are seeing is the work of those President Benson describes. We must be aware of the agenda of the enemies of freedom, and use the freedom-preserving power of the Constitution to thwart their evil designs.

Senator Hatch,

Your staff tells me you're in favor of military intervention in Libya: I'm not. Allow me to offer you a quote for your consideration:

"There is one and only one legitimate goal of United States foreign policy. It is a narrow goal, a nationalistic goal: the preservation of our national independence. Nothing in the Constitution grants that the president shall have the privilege of offering himself as a world leader. He is our executive; he is on our payroll; he is supposed to put our best interests in front of those of other nations. Nothing in the Constitution nor in logic grants to the president of the United States or to Congress the power to influence the political life of other countries, to ‘uplift' their cultures, to bolster their economies, to feed their people, or even to defend them against their enemies." (The Teachings of Ezra Taft Benson, p. 614; see also pp. 682 & 704.)

Who's right? You and your support of military intervention in Libya, or Ezra Taft Benson?

The following is an email I sent to Utah legislators May 22, 2010.

---------------------------------

Dear Representative Greiner,

The State of Utah should join with the State of Arizona in adopting laws which will enforce immigration laws which are not being enforced by the Federal government.

Recently, the State of Arizona passed SB 1070 the “Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act,” a law to adopt enforcement of Federal immigration laws within the state of Arizona. I support Arizona in this law and believe that Utah should enact similar legislation. It provides law enforcement with the ability to follow through in a logical manner when they encounter illegal aliens in the normal course of their police work. The essence of the law is that such persons will be detained and transported to the custody of the United State Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the United States Customs and Border Protection. The law also addresses human trafficking and drugs. The law further provides procedures and penalties to employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens. I have attached a copy of the Arizona law for your review.

As reported in the Deseret News on May13, 2010, a majority of Utahans polled support the Arizona law and would back similar laws. While Utah currently has immigration enforcement laws, these laws could be strengthened. According to Ufire.net, compliance with SB 81 has been abysmally low: a majority of Utah public employers such as school districts are ignoring the law. The same source reports that only 2% of Utah employers use the E-verify system. Utah must enforce its laws.

Since the Federal government has failed to adequately enforce immigration laws and stem the flow of illegal aliens from Mexico into Arizona and the United States, Arizona has been forced to act. Utah must stand with Arizona and other states in holding the Federal government responsible for the discharge of its duties. Utah must stand with Arizona and other states in resisting abuses of power by the Federal government. The rights of the states and of the people have been progressively trampled upon by the Federal government; unity with Arizona will send the right message to Washington, which is the State of Utah stands for the Constitutional rights of the states and the people. The State of Utah stands against encroachments of Federal abuses on the State and its people.

As my representative, I urge you to continue to lead out in this vital matter, as you did so with SB 81. Sponsor a similar bill or resolution putting the nation on notice that we stand with Arizona.

Thank you,

Marty Jensen

Re: Why sanction Iran?

Dear Representative Bishop:

Why are we sanctioning Iran? We do not want war with Iran - there is no reason or justification for war with Iran. Sanctions move us closer to war. Why are you doing this? Iran has not violated the nuclear arms treaty it has signed. War with Iran is even more foolish than war with Iraq--we were dragged into war with Iraq under false pretenses. The blood of hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi's is on our hands. Let's not allow ourselves to again be duped into war against a nation which has not made war on the U.S.

Thanks for your reply,

Marty Jensen

The following is an email sent to Senator Robert F. Bennett, R-Utah on April 19, 2010. It may very well be the last letter I write to Senator Bennett. -- Marty Jensen

------------------------------
Senator,

I know what you want Senator. You want to prevent the coming entitlement freight train wreck which will soon be upon us, unless we begin addressing it now. While I support you in this cause, and as important as this issue is, there is a root-cause, foundational issue of even greater importance: government going beyond the bounds set for it in the Constitution, the result of which is a plethora of social and world problems.

You must admit that we would have no coming entitlement freight train wreck had the federal government adhered to the boundaries set for it in the Constitution. Having not done so earlier, we are now reaping the whirlwind.

So let's say you are reelected and you do get to shed much light on this urgent and serious problem, and perhaps even cap, curtail, or eliminate entitlements as you propose. Like the little boy sticking his finger in the dike, you have plugged a hole. Thank you very much for your leadership in this cause. However, in the meantime, your fellow politicians are poking other holes in the dike in the same manner in which this hole was created: by ignoring, disregarding, or scorning constitutional limits on federal government powers.

I have written you before and I have had dialog with you in open public meetings. I have begged you--yes, begged you--to take the principled positions which would allow and encourage me to support you. I have told you that I want you to be my man in Washington. Specifically, if and when you take an uncompromising, principled, and outspoken position on constitutional principles, I am with you, and I believe a majority of Utahans will join us.

Without a revolutionary about-face, I will no longer be supporting Senator Bennett. This is a time in history for a bold, unconventional and unprecedented restoration of constitutional principles.

The Mike Lees and Cheryl Eagers of the campaign will have nothing to offer! You will have excited grass-roots support with cheering supporters at every town meeting you hold. The press won't know what to make of it; "Senator from Utah joins Tea Partiers and pledges to fight for constitutional principles." or “Senator Bennett arrives home to hundreds of cheering constituents." Wouldn't it be great to have town meetings where you received standing ovations instead of spending two hours defending yourself?

This is your time, Senator, and I pray to our Heavenly Father that you will seize this day and join with "we the people" in our fight to restore the Constitution and its righteous principles. Your immediate, vigorous, passionate, and genuine embrace of constitutional principles above all else will mark the day that Robert Bennett's name was added to the list of the outstanding patriots of the United States of America.

Is America Becoming a Police State?

Governor Herbert,

In your State of the State Address you said:

"Several weeks ago, I traveled to Washington D.C. and met with top leaders in Congress and at the White House. I strongly emphasized that the federal government should not do what state governments are already doing well in areas such as health care. The continued encroachment of the federal government into our businesses, our lives and our pocketbooks must be challenged."

I'm sure you'll agree that “doing well” isn’t what makes certain areas the business of the State—it is our U.S. Constitution—and that “doing poorly” doesn’t justify federal intervention in state affairs.

Through the Supreme Court’s absurd interpretation of the Commerce Clause and other perversions of the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Government has increasingly voided citizens' unalienable rights as advocated in the Declaration of Independence. The Federal Government's disregard for the principles of liberty as envisioned by the Founders is alarming. Our nation is increasingly becoming a fascist, socialistic country. As we do so, we are moving towards an Orwellian police state. We see decreasing efforts to preserve our national sovereignty and a corresponding acceptance of global governance. Our liberties will surely be lost if we trade our national values for a compromising mix of global values.

The role of state governments in protecting our liberties and our nation's sovereignty is more important now than it has ever been. This issue is not merely academic: bailouts, stimulus plans, government takeovers of businesses, warrantless wiretapping, sneak-and-peek searches, unconscionable public debt, wars which Congress has not declared, the welfare state, illegal detention of prisoners without habeas corpus, torture of prisoners, ignoring the principle of posse comitatus, illegal seizing of firearms, and the Federal Government’s relentless usurpation of state prerogatives. The situation is becoming dire--we must act before it becomes too late.

As a sovereign state, Utah has both a duty and a privilege to protect the liberties of its citizens. This is a call to action. As our governor, I ask you to:

(1) Help educate Utahns to the reality and danger of federal usurpation of powers, the resulting loss of liberty, and states' rights.

(2) Speak out on the issues of individual liberty and states' rights.

(3) Use the powers of nullification to void federal mandates and encroachments.

(3) Sign S.B. 11 Utah State-Made Firearms Protection Act and encourage additional legislation which reclaims Utahns' rightful liberties.

(4) Beware of partnerships with the Federal Government such as President Obama's newly announced Council of Governors.

(5) Resist the Federal Government’s furthering of unconstitutional practices through active disagreement; seek to re-establish Utah's 10th Amendment powers.

(6) Ask the State Legislature to write a Federal Tax Escrow Account bill to provide a mechanism with which to sanction the Federal Government for unconstitutional statutes, actions, or regulations.

Governor Herbert, there has never been a time as crucial as now for Utah to lead in protecting the liberties of both Utahns, Americans, and indeed all people. Please use the power of your office to fight against tyrannical usurpation of local governing power and individual self-determination.

I thank you for your service as our governor and have confidence in your desires and abilities to address these important issues.

Following is the text of an email sent to my Utah state representative, Brent Wallis, and my Utah state senator, Jon Greiner.

Representative Wallis and Senator Greiner,

I urge your wholehearted support for S.B. 11 Utah State-made Firearms Protection Act and/or other similar bills which re-state and reclaim the state sovereignty we have given up to the federal government.

The federal government is increasingly leading us into socialism and fascism. All three branches of government have colluded to concentrate power in the federal government at the expense of states' rights and the will of the people. The federal government has turned the Constitution on its head: rather than exercising only the limited powers granted it, the federal government now assumes unlimited power. Burdensome federal laws and regulations have robbed us of a good deal of our liberty. Federal officials routinely disregard or violate their oaths of office to "preserve, protect, and defend" the Constitution of the United States.

I assume you are well aware of the unconstitutional and tyrannical police state America is becoming. Our country is in a very precarious situation. Corruption in high places abounds. Many people, including those in high places, want to increase the power of the federal government. This can only mean a loss of liberty for "we the people." There are also those who would destroy the sovereignty of the United States and meld us into a world government. Should that happen, it will be the end of liberty not only for America but for other democratic nations as well.

I submit that the only way remaining to reclaim our country and return to the God-inspired republic our Founding Fathers established, is through a firm exercise of states' rights. Many states throughout the nation are doing precisely this. Of all states, given the history of persecution and repression suffered by Utah's pioneer founders, surely Utah should understand the vital role that Constitutional government plays in the preservation of our liberties.

Again, I urge you to take a firm stand against federal usurpation of the state powers affirmed in the 9th and 10th amendments to the United States' Constitution. Let Utah lead out in nullifying unconstitutional federal laws, edicts, and regulations. Utah can and must increasingly reassert its state sovereignty and push back against the federal government's tyranny. This is a struggle not only for the welfare of the people of Utah, but for liberty throughout the entire nation and indeed, the entire world.

I look forward to your replies.

Respectfully submitted, along with my gratitude and appreciation for your service to our state,

Marty W. Jensen

P.S. Aside from supporting a state-made firearms act, Utah should enter into reciprocal agreements with other like-minded states, allowing commerce to flow between states in defiance of the federal government's claim to regulate everything passing between state borders.

From the IdeasAboutAmerica.com website:

This site is dedicated to the idea that once was the United States. That idea was a land dedicated to freedom from government interventionism, a land that distrusted the inherent evils of a strong central government, a land of freedom. Now the United States is a land of security and rampant government interventionism.

Senator Bennett, Again I beg you to understand the feelings of the American people and to respond in kind - not "business as usual" in Washington. Understand us, join us, be our champion!

This is the response I sent to the www.bennettforsenate.com website. Please note: I wish that I could support Senator Bennett, but I can't and I won't as long as he disregards the Constitution he has sworn to defend. My response:

The website http://www.liberty-tree.ca/ describes itself as "Famous quotes, quotations, sayings, phrases, idioms, proverbs, and axioms about Liberty and the Responsibility that comes with it."

At this site are quotes from hundreds of prominent figures. Here is a sample quote:

"For the first time in its history, Western Civilization is in danger of being destroyed internally by a corrupt, criminal ruling cabal which is centered around the Rockefeller interests, which include elements from the Morgan, Brown, Rothschild, Du Pont, Harriman, Kuhn-Loeb, and other groupings as well. This junta took control of the political, financial, and cultural life of America in the first two decades of the twentieth century. ---Carroll Quigley(1910-1977) Professor of International Relations, Georgetown University Foreign Service School, Washington, D.C., member of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), mentor to Bill Clinton.

I highly recommend this site and encourage everybody to take a look: http://www.liberty-tree.ca .

This was written in response to an email originated by Ms. Kathleen Lyday of Hillsboro, Missouri. In her email, Ms. Lyday expressed her frustration and outrage towards President Obama, and listed some of his "un-American" attitudes and activities. I agree with Ms. Lyday. I wish to add more to the discussion and go to the heart of the matter - the erosion of our liberties by not abiding by and governing by constitutional principles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ms Lyday,

I agree with you--President Obama is not a true American. He is not loyal to the United States. Why? Because he is a globalist. He believes America is no better than any other country. He believes that ultimately all of the world should be one government (and he's not alone). But President Obama is not the problem. The problem is that we haven't followed the Constitution as we should.

Because we haven't followed the Constitution, the Federal government has too much power. Over the years the Federal government has taken powers the Constitution does not allow it to have. The Federal government has taken over powers which belong to the people and the states.

The Founding Fathers said that our Creator made people free. They said the power to govern comes from the people. We use our power to govern by electing leaders. We give leaders power to create laws which benefit us. For example, highway laws--a set of rules we all follow to avoid accidents. But the power to make laws and enforce them was given to our leaders by we, the people. That power is ours to give, and ours to take back. The people are higher than the government.

We are the masters, the government is our servant. Government exists to serve us. But a servant can become more powerful than the masters. When this happens, the servant stops serving. It doesn't do what the masters want it to do. The servant does what it wants to do. The masters have become servants - they have lost their freedom. To prevent this the masters must limit the power of the servant and keep it limited.

It is the same with government. A government which grows too powerful stops serving. It doesn't do what the people want it to do. The government does what it wants to do. The people have become servants to the government - they have lost their freedom. To prevent this the people must limit the power of government and keep it limited.

The Founders wrote the Constitution to limit the power of government. During their lifetimes, they worked to keep the power of government limited.

Since the founding, we the people haven't done a good job of keeping the power of government limited. Our government has grown in size and power. It has stopped serving. It doesn't do what we want it to do. It does what it wants to do. We have become servants to the government - we have lost our freedom. We have become lower than the government.

In the government which has become our master, Obama is the most prominent leader. He isn't serving us. He isn't doing what we want him to do. He is doing what he wants to do. Other leaders have also stopped serving us-they are doing what they want to do. One example is the $700 billion bailout: the people overwhelmingly told their leaders not to do it. Yet they passed the bailout bill (and most of them hadn't even read it). Against our wishes, they put us in debt and are now giving away our money to bankers in America and in foreign countries. The United States are now the principle owners of very large banks and auto manufacturers. America is now a socialist, fascist nation. This is but one of many examples.

We are in grave danger of losing our freedom. We must awaken to this awful situation. The concentration of power in government is growing rapidly. We must remember what freedom is, and teach it to others. We must warn others. We must return to the Constitution before it's too late. We must protect and defend the Constitution at all costs. We must listen to what other defenders of the Constitution are saying. We must act now and insist that our elected leaders honor and follow the Constitution. We must get involved-now!

When we follow the Constitution as we should, we will have leaders who are true Americans. We will have leaders who are loyal to the United States. We will have leaders who want America to be a free nation, and not part of a world government. We will have a more limited government. We will be the masters of our government. The government will not do what it wants to do. The government will do what we want it to do. The government will once again serve. We will again be the masters. We will again be free.

Hi there,

Please write your senators and congressmen/women and ask them to support HR1207 (House of Representatives) and/or S604 (Senate), bills to require disclosures by the Federal Reserve System.

As you are probably aware, the secretive Federal Reserve Bank (a misnomer) exercises tremendous control over our nation's money supply - and thus inflation - and thus our economy.

We have only a limited knowledge of what this organization is doing. This organization is basically a central banking cartel which is privately owned and answers to no one. It is NOT controlled or owned by the government, as it's purposely deceptive name ("Federal") might indicate. The banking committees in Congress do call upon the Fed and grill them with questions, but the fact remains that the Fed gives Congress as much or as little information as it wants to.

The Fed prints and creates money out of thin air - this is no secret. Recently, the balance sheet of the Fed has increased by nearly a trillion dollars - meaning it has printed or created a trillion more dollars of money. But we have almost no information about the transactions behind this money creation--where did it go? Since the Fed is not subject to audit, we have no idea where this money went. It is unacceptable that his organization continue its manipulation of money without accountability.

Many in America and in government have gone along with this preposterous situation for many decades - but recently many have called for more transparency - what is the Fed doing with the money it prints? Who does it go to? Well, the curtain is about to be pulled back on the Fed as was the curtain pulled back to reveal the mysterious and powerful wizard in the land of Oz. Legislation in both the House and Senate is calling for an audit of this private banking cartel which has control of our money.

Please contact your congressman or woman and your senator and express your desire that both the house bill HR1207 and the senate bill S604 be passed. We need to know what these central bankers are doing with our money. We need to audit the Fed and have answers about their activities.

Marty Jensen

I invite anyone near Ogden Utah to join me in defending the Constitution. Email me and let's get together: martywjensen@msn.com.

Support and Defend! the Constitution of the United States.

We must work together to get the word out to our fellow citizens! The constitution is being ignored or violated repeatedly by all three branches of government. The result of this can only be a loss of liberty for the ordinary citizen. Here's an example: Dick Cheney has decided that the office of Vice President no longers needs to be accountable to Congress. See the article "Vice President Exempts His Office from the Requirements for Protecting Classified Information". This article was written and published by Congress' Committee on Oversight and Government Reform .

This is but one of many examples. We need to make our friends, family and neighbors aware of what has been and is happening to our liberties as guaranteed by the Constitution. Let's begin in our own communities and get the word out!
