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.
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.

Should We be Surprised by Sotomayor's Radical Views?
-- Time to put the heat on your Senators as hearings begin

"I will be talking [to Judge Sotomayor] about the question of foreign law and the question of [her] commitment to the Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms.... President Obama, who nominated Judge Sotomayor, has a rather limited view of what the Second Amendment guarantees." -- Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), June 2009
Monday, July 13, 2009
Today, the U.S. Senate commences hearings on Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who was nominated by President Obama to replace the retiring Judge David Souter on the U.S. Supreme Court.
In many ways, Sotomayor's views are out-of-step with our American heritage and with the views of Americans in general. For example, Sotomayor believes that our fundamental law is constantly evolving and that rights are constantly changing with the times.
But should we be surprised? The President who nominated her holds some of the most radical views ever held by a resident of the White House.
His take on the Constitution -- and the Second Amendment in particular
-- has stationed him to the far left on the political spectrum.
Consider just a small snapshot of his record over the years:
* As President, Obama has nationalized much of the car and banking industry and is now looking to do the same with health care. Even the Marxist President of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez, joked on live television last month that he and Fidel Castro need to be careful or else "we are going to end up to [Obama's] right."
* As a U.S. Senator, Obama was ranked by the National Journal in 2007 as the most liberal legislator in that chamber. Realize that such a ranking put Obama to the left of 99 other Senators -- including an open, self-avowed socialist, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT).
* Like many socialists, Obama has supported some of the most extreme positions on gun control: supporting a ban on handguns, opposing the repeal of the draconian DC gun ban, opposing the right of self-defense for residents in the Chicago suburbs, and much more.
Obama's brand of far-left politics sees the Constitution as moldable as a ball of wax. In a 2001 interview, he criticized earlier Supreme Courts for "never ventur[ing] into the issues of redistribution of wealth.... It didn't break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution."
Sotomayor appears to have the same view of our highest document, as she stated in 1996 that law is not "static and predictable," but "constantly overhaul[ed] and adapt[ed] [by lawyers and courts] to the realities of ever-changing social, industrial and political conditions."
ACTION: Please urge your two Senators to vote AGAINST the Sotomayor nomination. Tell them to cast a pro-gun vote on EVERY vote related to Judge Sonia Sotomayor (whether it's a vote on sustaining a filibuster or a vote on final passage).
Please use the Gun Owners Legislative Action Center at http://www.gunowners.org/activism.htm to send your legislators the pre-written e-mail message below.
----- Pre-written letter -----
Dear Senator:
Judge Sonia Sotomayor's views are out-of-step with our American heritage and with the views of Americans in general. Not surprisingly, the Rasmussen polling firm reported on July 1 that more Americans oppose her nomination than support her.
Sotomayor believes that our fundamental law is constantly evolving and that rights are constantly changing with the times. But a majority of Americans disagree. Multiple polls have found that almost three-fourths of all Americans believe that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the rights of "individuals" to own guns. Not so for Judge Sotomayor:
* She ruled in United States v. Sanchez-Villar (2004) that "the right to possess a gun is clearly not a fundamental right."
* And earlier this year, Sotomayor was part of a three-judge panel which ruled in Maloney v. Cuomo that the Second Amendment does not apply to the states. This makes her more liberal than the Ninth Circuit, which stated in the Nordyke case in April that the Second Amendment does apply to the states.
Please cast a pro-gun vote on EVERY vote related to Judge Sonia Sotomayor (whether it's a vote on sustaining a filibuster or a vote on final passage).
I would like to hear back from you on this. Although rest assured, Gun Owners of America will keep me up to date on any further developments.
Sincerely,
GODS WORD FOR TODAY
1 Peter 5:6-7 (King James Version)
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

ARIZONA
Here are a couple of interesting State bills. One says that Arizona will secede if
There is Marshal law or Constitution is suspended. New Hampshire is basically stating if the authority is granted to the Federal Government, then they will not abide by it.

"That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the
President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories
of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the
government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States
of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several
States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution
for the United States of America by the government of the United States of
America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not
limited to:
I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States
comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature
of that State.
II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft
during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration
after due process of law.
III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under
the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration
after due process of law.
IV. Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any corporation or
foreign government.
V. Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political
speech; or further limitations on freedom of the press.
VI. Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms including
prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition; and
That should any such act of Congress become law or Executive Order or Judicial
Order be put into force, all powers previously delegated to the United States of
America by the Constitution for the United States shall revert to the several
States individually. Any future government of the United States of America shall
require ratification of three quarters of the States seeking to form a
government of the United States of America and shall not be binding upon any
State not seeking to form such a government; and
That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the house clerk to the
President of the United States, each member of the United States Congress, and
the presiding officers of each State's legislature."
