The present political and fiscal environment in which the United States barely survives is so destruction that the country must now take extraordinary Constitutional measures to save the republic.
Article II, Section I, Clause 6, the Twentieth and the Twenty-fifth Amendments of the Constitution allow Congress the power to declare both Barack Obama and Joseph Biden unable to discharge the powers and duties of the Office of President and appoint an eligible individual to act as President until a new election can be held in 2014.

The current situation demands it.
Thomas Jefferson described our present condition in his “Notes on the State of Virginia:”
“An elective despotism (emphasis added) was not the government we fought for; but one which should not only be founded on free principles, but in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.”
The US Government no longer exists to serve the people, but to enable the acquisition of private power and profit for a coalition of greedy financiers, corrupt politicians and dishonest journalists, who have made themselves kings and tyrants over us.
The leaders of the Democrat and Republican parties, many of whom have violated their oath to support and defend the Constitution, are complicit in facilitating and concealing Obama’s unconstitutional and irresponsible conduct. His policies have endangered our national security, undermined our liberties and consistently thwarted the will of the American people. They should be removed from office, and, when appropriate, brought to justice.
The United States is at an historical crossroad. The corruption and criminality in Washington, D.C. are unprecedented.
To prevent the current political environment from ever again establishing itself, fundamental changes in government operations and the political environment will be required.
Such measures may include:
- a strict constructionist interpretation of the Constitution,
- limiting Congressional terms to a total of 12 years either in the House of Representatives or the Senate or a combination thereof,
- all current members of Congress who have exceeded the 12-year limit cannot run for reelection,
- elimination of special benefits for members of Congress and government officials beyond those available to ordinary citizens,
- establishment of a simplified flat tax system for individuals and business to limit severely the impact of lobbyists,
- securing our borders and firm enforcement of current immigration laws,
- removing energy and financial dependence, freeing our foreign policy from overseas control,
- with the exception of defense, establish a yearly across-the-board 10% reduction in the funding for the federal government with the immediate elimination of the Departments of Homeland Security, Energy, Education and the Environmental Protection Agency,
- a yearly 10% reduction in the funding for foreign aid,
- revoking broadcast licenses of media outlets that mislead or misinform for political purposes,
- strictly enforcing Equal Opportunity against the discriminatory practices of affirmative action and diversity policies,
- declaring Sharia incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and made illegal,
- declaring English as the one and only official language of the United States,
- rejecting political correctness and multiculturalism as an infringement of the rights guaranteed under the First Amendment and contrary to the American principle of E pluribus Unum.
Ordinary Americans must band together and take a stand to restore the Constitution and the rule of law, to establish political and fiscal sanity and return the government to the people.
Otherwise, our republic may be lost forever.
