CONGRESSIONAL BILL: HJ RES 4, HJ RES 31 & HR 639
Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and legislation to alter an already existing and highly questionable constitutional amendment, with respect to the right to life. (Introduced in the House)

For congressional session after session, the conservative radical right members of Congress keep up with their fight to have their agenda of religious based beliefs about morals, made into a part of the United States Constitution.

In the United States, we as a people and as individuals, are to have the freedom to choose our belief based system as we want, and to not have a select few's belief system purposely imposed on us. Above the rights of any and all religious beliefs and the morals that go with those beliefs, stands the Supreme law of the land, the Constitution of the United States. Plain and simple, that is how the Constitution was established and that is how it was intended to operate, and that is how it is to be, and whether you like it personally or not, that is the "true" American way. An individual has the "absolute" and total right to choose for themselves the paths that they are to go down in life, and no religious agenda has a right to constitutionally interfere with that right.

Freedom of choice is as American as "Mom's Apple Pie," and should remain so.

Saying that abortion is right or wrong is the "absolute" free choice of the individual concerned, and in the end it is up to the individual as to the choice made, based on their own belief or non-belief system. The Congress of the United States has no business or constitutional right to tamper in that area of an individuals life, and no member of Congress has the constitutional right to intermeddle their own religious agenda into that process.

The members of Congress who continue to put their own agenda of the religious rule of law above that of the constitutional rule of law, need to understand that the religious rule of law has "NO" constitutional right intermeddling itself into government, and changing the constitutional rule of law to fit the religious rule of law.

Contrary to what Christian religious leaders like Christian Broadcasting Network's Pat Robertson state, the United States of America is and never was founded as a Christian Nation. The United States was founded on total religious neutrality, with the government taking a position that there is to be an "absolute wall of separation between Church and state." Somehow those in the conservative radical right have not yet grasped that concept, or is that they are just too dumb or stupid to grasp the concept of what America is really all about, what is it that they don't understand about following the Constitution and being a really "true" American? The only other thing that it can be, is that those in the conservative radical right in Congress and elsewhere, want to overthrow the Constitution with their own agenda and privately held contract that they want to impose on the rest of America.

Go back and do your homework on the Constitution Randy Tate and Pat Robertson, and leave the Constitution of the United States alone - or be ready to prove [beyond a shadow of a doubt] that this Christian Religion, God, and Biblical rule of law of yours is in reality, factually superior to the United States Constitution. The founder of this web site and F.A.C.T.S., a "true" American and a descendent of the founders of the United States, is ready to publicly and openly debate the two of you on the issue. Up to the challenge, or will you both go and hide behind the cover of your TV program, and issue more misconstructed truths, like you always do? This same public debate challenge is also issued to any member of Congress willing to take up the task.

The Supreme Court has been highly supportive of the "absolute" constitutional "wall of separation between Church and State" for good reason, and that is for the support and preservation of the mandatory constitutional neutrality that is to exist between Church and State. Time after time, and case after case, the Supreme Court has sided in favor of the "absolute" rights enumerated to in the First Amendment, and time after time the conservative radical right continues to go against the grain of those Supreme Court decisions with attempts to override those decisions, by legislative attempts to misconstruct the Constitution to the conservative radical rights way of thinking. If that is not a clear form of "hostile" intent towards the "true" and "correct" intended meaning of the Constitution and the Republican Form of Government, as was intended by the authors of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, then what else can it be?

This piece of legislation is just another piece of a larger plan by the conservative radical right, to consolidate the power and authority of the Executive and Judicial branches of government, under the power and authority of Congress, thereby effectively dissolving the constitutional Republican Form of Government and replacing it with a form of Parliamentary government, similar to those in Europe.

Another part of the plan [which HJ RES 4, HJ RES 31 & HR 639 are a part of], according to the architects of the conservative radical right, is the total "decentralization" of the main branch of United States government and the distribution of those powers to the several States. By decentralizing the main branch of United States government, this will also totally destabilize the United States Constitution, effectively rendering the principles and rights contained in the Constitution ineffective! With the decentralization of the main branch of government complete, and with the bulk of powers shifted from the main branch of government to the several States, this will then allow for the States to each rewrite the laws which pertain to the rules of life, liberties, and operations of government, as those in control and power of those States each see fit.

Decentralizing the main branch of United States government and rendering the Constitution ineffective, as is the plan of the masterminds of the conservative radical right, is in all actuality and fact, an extremely "hostile" action towards both the Blessings of Liberty, and the viability of the United States Constitution and the Republican Form of Government that is formed out of the Constitution.

The conservative radical right continues to state that their goal is not to overthrow the United States Constitution and the government thereof, but rather that their goal is to bring America to God and a path of God given righteousness, in both society and government. Question: If the decentralization of the main branch of the United States government, and the misconstructing of the Constitution to a point where it no longer resembles the Constitution as it was Ordained and Established in 1787, and the destruction of the Blessings of liberty is not "hostile" intent towards the Constitution and the Republican Form of Government that it establishes, then what the hell is "hostile" intent? The conservative radical right can continue to say in cheap words that they don't have any intentions on overthrowing the Constitution and the Republican Form of Government, but the conservative radical right's real actions and publicly posted policies continue to betray what they are doing, as being nothing more or less, than the outright "hostile" overthrow of the United States Constitution, and most all of what is left of the "republican" rights and principles that the Constitution contains!

Article III Section 3 of the United States Constitution was written with the explicit intent, that both the Constitution and the peoples government were to be safely guarded from all threats, whether those threats came from within the government or outside of government. No where in the Constitution is the excuse of error because of a radical conservative and/or religious belief, exempted from being a source of harm to the United States Constitution. No where in the Constitution is it mentioned that members of Congress are exempted from their constitutional duty to follow the explicit directions given to them by the United States Constitution. No where in the Constitution are members of Congress exempted from being charged with Treason and/or Conspiracy to Commit Treason, for their failure to follow the explicit directions given to them by the United States Constitution. No where in the Constitution are members of Congress exempted from their duty to fully support [follow and preserve] and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

F.A.C.T.S. says NO to the following bill to propose an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. This bill fails to fall within the proper constitutional guidelines necessary to properly support and defend the Constitution, and the Republican Form of Government of the United States of America.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP SAVE THE CONSTITUTION AND THE REPUBLIC?
1.) Contact your elected member of Congress, both in the House and in the Senate, and let those in Congress know, in no uncertain terms, that you are a "true" American that supports the "true" Republic, and that you support the United States Constitution and the Republican Form of Government, and why aren't they doing the same! Let them know about your opposition to the current bill in the 1st Session of the 106th Congress, with the Congressional Bill designation's of H. J. RES. 4, H. J. RES. 31, and H. R. 639.

2.) Contact the White House and let them know your opposition to the continuing harmful legislation, and attempted misconstructions of the Constitution and the Republican Form of Government, which the conservative radical right in Congress keeps on imposing on the peace and good order of the Republic.

3.) Help us form a chain of "true republican" citizen alliances, run and made up of Citizen Statesman from every walk of life and that come from one end of this Nation to the other, and from every element of every individual lifestyle, that will unite and work for the common peace and good order of a government that is a "true" Republic for all the people. Help us to remove the conservative radical right element from our political parties, a harmful and negative element that already has taken over the power and control of the Republican Party to use for their own private agenda.

4.) REGISTER TO VOTE AND THEN EXERCISE THAT AMERICAN RIGHT TO VOTE!!! THE TRUE REPUBLIC AND THE CONSTITUTION NEED'S YOUR SUPPORT AND VOTE!!! Help us to get out the Citizen Statesman reform vote for the 2000 Elections, and lets show those in Congress and elsewhere in US Government who the voice of the American people is, and what that voice is all about. Help us vote out, or otherwise remove, those in Congress who continue to harm the Constitution and the Republican Form of Government.

5.) Help us return this Nation to one that has the proper amount of constitutional representation in the House of Representatives, with which to maintain and properly support a Republican Form of Government. In order to maintain a healthy and properly run Republican Form of Government, it is necessary for the Constitution to be strictly followed in regards to how many members are to be in the House of Representatives. In order to have a constitutionally correct number of members in the House, with which to support and preserve the Republican Form of Government, the ratio for membership in the House must be maintained at the constitutionally correct ratio of one member for every 30,000 people. Over the last 150 years, conservative backed Congresses, for the benefit and gain of their own private agendas, have arbitrarily and underhandedly reestablished that ratio at a level today that equals approximately one member in the House for every 700,000 people. Help us return the peoples constitutionally correct representation in the House to one member for every 30,000 people, and help us to rebuild the "true" Republic into an even greater America for all people, and not for just the select few.

6.) Become involved in the affairs of your local communities, and join the fight to help rid our Nation of the plague of crimes that drugs like cocaine and heroin have brought on our society.

7.) You can also help by supporting this web site and the important constitutional work that it does. Contact us below for more information.

8.) Let your elected representative from Congress know about your displeasure with continued "hostile" acts and attempts to misconstruct the United States Constitution, which in many cases amounts to acts of Treason by certain members of Congress. Ask your elected representative why nothing is being done to prevent these "hostile," and therefore traitorous acts against the Constitution and Republican Form of Government of the United States of America, that continue to be made by members of the conservative radical right.

9.) Also let the White House know how you feel about the "hostile" acts and attempts by members of the conservative radical right to misconstruct the Constitution for their own benefit and gain. Ask the White House why there is nothing being done to prevent these "hostile," and treasonous acts against the Constitution and Republican Form of Government of the United States of America, that continue to be made by members of the conservative radical right. Write the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, and let the Judicial branch of government know exactly how you feel about these same issues.
