No, You Can

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States. It's beginning statement is one of the most recognized American phrases in our language: "We the People." Commonly cited as the summation of core American values, the Preamble is a starting point for the establishment of our Democracy. However, in the past month, our new Administration has implemented a plan of action that seems to completely re-write our most sacred of documents.

And it sounds a little like this:

Yes we can people of the United States, in order to disintegrate the most perfect Union, eradicate Justice, guarantee international instability, prosecute the defense of the common defense, redefine generational Welfare, and hand out the Blessings of Liberty to everyone citizen and not, do Mandate that the remaining Articles of the Constitution of the United States of America surcease.
In regards to the Fairness Doctrine (diversity in ownership, same thing) to ratifying the U.N.'s Convention of the Rights of the Child, the Obama administration is stepping all over the rules and requirements of the Constitution.

Even members of Obama's party have begun to speak out against his aggressive political actions. Senator Robert Byrd has labeled Barack's actions as nothing but a "power grab."

When will our Congressional delegation begin to stand up to this assault on the Constitution? John McCain tried to today, by bringing a Constitutional Point of Order during the debate on giving Washington, D.C.'s representative a vote on the House floor, however, it was voted down, 36-62. On the other side of the building, the House passed a $410 billion spending bill to support more government functions.

Southern governors have recently been seen getting back to their previous century roots, standing in contrast to Washington. While critics play the race card (Congressman Jim Clyburn: “slap in the face to African-Americans”), governors are truly worried about Constitutional breaches in regards to Federalism and the requirements of receiving funds the stimulus funds and taxes. South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal have all come out saying that they won't accept, at the least, the unemployment incentives from the stimulus bill because of the required raising of taxes after the stimulus is gone. THANK YOU. Alabama Governor Bob Riley has said that he will not recommend the state legislature change state laws to include unemployment benefits for those with "compelling family reason(s)" for quitting their job and filing their claim. Even Democratic Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen has broken ranks on the issue of stimulus funds.

While we have seen more monies promised to be spent in the first five weeks of this Administration than all the totals of the War on Terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan, we have not even come close to all the assaults on liberty that we will see with the increase of the socialist mentality.
