AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL

Hi,

We've examined Fabian Socialism as an economic factor in our lives and the greatest imposition on our American system in the years since the framing of the Consitution in 1787. Let's examine the American system because we all need a reminder now and then to what we actually aspire as a nation.

The 55 framers of the Constitution set up a system of LIMITED GOVERNMENT to be controlled by WE THE PEOPLE.  They did not recognize government as all knowing, all powerful, and all controlling.  CONGRESS  was not designed to make laws that don't follow the WILL OF THE PEOPLE. This was very different from England and Europe with their massively controlled governments by Royalty or dictators and centrally controlled.

The framers also set up a very distinct separation of powers so that the government they set up could not become tyrannical.They set up the LEGISLATIVE branch that is, CONGRESS, to MAKE LAW for us; the EXECUTIVE branch that is, the PRESIDENT, to ENFORCE LAW; and the JUDICIAL branch, that is, the SUPREME COURT to JUDGE and INTERPRET LAW.

This system came about because the Framers felt Britain's Parliamentary Government concentrated too much power in one branch, and produced a corrupt and tyrannical system. WE FORGET WHY, SOMETIMES.

This system was designed with checks and balances so that one branch can put a STOP to the actions of another branch through Congressional impeachment, judicial challenges to Congress or the laws, and veto by the President. CLEVER THESE AMERICANS!!!!!!!!!

And last but not least is the principle of Federalism. While some key powers are held by a central government, others are held by state governments. STATE RULE existed even before the Consitution was enacted so that the originals THIRTEEN states could manage their affairs.

REMEMBER that the American Revolution revolted against a EUROPEAN CENTRALIZED GOVERNMENT that attempted to RULE AMERICA. The framers were very opposed to creating too powerful a central government in America. State Government presented another type of check and balance.

Our land was born on July 4, 1776 and the U.S. Constitution became law in June 1788 to strengthen the fledgling concepts and was a BRILLIANT STROKE in its complete concepts.

The first stock exchange was founded in Philadelph in 1790. Our economic system was formed not long after our Consitution and was a free system of commerce, governed only by the involved merchants.The Government was not involved in its power or workings except as the leaders of Government became involved as merchants and brought their political clout to the market place.


Into this mix came the concept of the STOCK MARKET. Twenty-four leading merchants in 1792, met secretly to discuss how to create order in the securities business and ultimately defeat their competitors who were the auctioneers. YES, THEY WERE INVOLVED IN WHAT WE CALL BUSINESS. They signed an agreement called the BUTTONWOOD AGREEMENT based on their traditional meeting place under a Buttonwood tree (of such simple, homely things are great traditions made) which set trading fees, trade among selves, and agreement not to participate in auctions of securities.
 
When New York was the United States' national capitol a Federal Hall was built on Wall Street where George Washington took his oath.  Wall Street became a famous name and since the trading was done on the street under that Buttonwood Tree-ergo, we have WALL ST.

 Now, WE THE PEOPLE, have a stake in this as well!!! What WE buy, where WE spend it, and the demands that WE make, affect WALL STREET. We can be the ULTIMATE power and Control by demanding to be able to CHOOSE TO purchase Amercan goods. THE CHOICE is the key. Foreign goods are fine but when our markets can no longer COMPETE AND PROVIDE because of cost, it's not good. We have not been exerting that economic control!!!!!! Practice your rights.

What's the old saying: If it sounds too good to be true, it is!!!   That was the case in purchasing homes. And could be the case again if we are not vigilant!

 Okay, the gist of all that information is WE WERE CONCEIVED A FREE NATION ABOVE ALL ELSE.

We have strayed a long way from that path, but prior to recent bills, it has been in a workable way.  Now we are on the brink of accepting a complete change of concepts, based on Fabian Socialism, which like the days in the 1700's is clamoring to centrally control this rich, new country. IS THAT WHAT WE REALLY WANT?????????

 If it is, then decide not to vote this November election and it will continue to happen. IF IT IS NOT what you want!!!!!!!! THEN VOTE to bring the Congress back into balance.

BECAUSE, WE THE PEOPLE and the VOTE are the ULTIMATE CHECKS AND BALANCES to keep our free system of government and our economic system HEALTHY.

I hope you choose to.......................VOTE......................................................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers, Connie
