Read the Bills Act and Food Safety: What Happens When Your Senators Don't Read the Bill
Posted by John Markley

A funny thing happened on the way to the "food safety" bill's passage. As the letter below says, Senators violated a provision of the Constitution when they passed their version (S.510), and House leaders will not accept this violation.

Meanwhile, all 42 Senate Republicans have vowed to filibuster ALL legislation unless bills to fund the government and to prevent the New Years Day tax increase are considered first.

We are pleased with this development, because it makes final passage of the dangerous "food safety" bill much more difficult.

But it should also be pointed out that if DownsizeDC.org's Read the Bills Act (RTBA) had been in force, the Senate would not have made this mistake. And so we're asking you to tell Congress to introduce and pass the Read the Bills Act.

You may borrow from or copy this letter . . .

The "food safety" bill that passed the Senate, S.510, is further proof that we need the Read the Bills Act (RTBA). S.510 includes new taxes, whereas the Constitution requires all tax bills to originate in the House.

This means the 73 Senators who voted for it either . . .

* Knowingly violated their oath of office to support the Constitution, or . . .
* They didn't read the bill!

The Read the Bills Act (RTBA) would have prevented this . . .

* It requires all bills that come to a vote to be read before a quorum in each chamber
* It also requires that they be posted online, in their final form, seven days before a final vote

If the RTBA was in force, surely many people would have caught this mistake BEFORE the bill's passage.

If you take your oath of office seriously, you wouldn't knowingly pass a bill that clearly violates the Constitution. The RTBA would prevent that from happening. I therefore expect you to introduce this bill soon.

END LETTER

You may send your letter using DownsizeDC.org's Educate the Powerful System.

We also invite you to add your blog or website to the Read the Bills Act Coalition. By joining, you help spread the word about the RTBA, and in return we will list your site on our blog and announce it in a Downsizer-Dispatch reaching over 30,800 readers. You may learn more and join here.

This month we welcome Live Free Radio to the coalition.

Finally, in November the House passed 22 bills totaling 426 pages, and the Senate passed 13 bills totaling 598 pages. You can see summaries of these bills on our blog.

The news is coming out, the polls are in OBama sucks and will most likely loose any chance for re-election in 2012 along with the remaining sellout Democrats and Republicans who have out spent all previous administrations combined all the way back top President Washington.

But this news isn't anything knew to the people of America. Obama's lies er rhetoric as he likes to call it have not been forgotten by those who supported him and those who voted for him because they just couldnt stand the last bunch of RINO Republicans controlling the house and senate during the Bush years.

That being said, who cares about Obama at this point? We have to focus on helping those running against incumbents to rid ourselves of those who have defied the will of the people. I have never once in my working history been able to completely ignore the will of my employer and think that I would continue to work for them.

Well the same goes for all branches of the Legislative body. We must focus our attention on those candidates that will stand up to their oath of office and preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and our liberties.

Most Americans just want to live their lives and be left alone to raise their families as they so choose. They don't want to be told they must buy health care or partake in ObamaCare, they are tired of bailing out big banks and corporations like GM and they are sick of all the taxes and other regulations that prevent them from the pursuit of happiness.

Americans do not want to be spied upon by their own government under the guise of protection as though they are some type of criminal. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

They also do not want any form of national ID Card ie Real ID, Pass ID or the like. They want to be able to Live Free.

In order to do this Americans must unite in one voice and say "Enough Already!" and vote the collective bums out of office.

Stand Up, Speak up, & Live Free!

GOD'S WORD FOR TODAY
Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. Matthew 12:33 (KJV)

The song below was written in 1896 and it talks about surrendering. Not surrendering to the whim of Legislators but surrendering your life to Christ.

Giving your sinful ways and living for Christ.

The song was inspired from the verse Luke 14:33 and says far more than what I need to try and describe in my post.

Luke 14:33 (King James Version)

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.

Winfield S. Weeden, 1896

All to Jesus I surrender;
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
* Refrain:
I surrender all,
I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.

All to Jesus I surrender;
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken;
Take me, Jesus, take me now.

All to Jesus I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.

All to Jesus I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to His Name!
