And it is our newly elected president that has declared it. We are seeing the broadest scope of powers being invoked by our federal government - never seen before by most of the people alive today. The scary thing is that our bankrupt education system has enabled this action by failing to teach students even the basic tenets of our constitution so it is going relatively unnoticed at this point.
Our states rights and our individual liberties guaranteed in our constitution are being trampled by the president and his administration. If we do not put a stop to it now it will destroy the fabric that makes this country great; private entrepreneurial spirit. The ability to be whatever you put your mind to, to make as much as your service or product can in the marketplace, to be free from over reaching regulations that decide what you can eat, drink, drive, hear, say, and do.
We are watching an attempt to overwhelm the people with program, after program, after program, spearheaded by incompetent politicians and bureaucrats from both sides of the aisle. People are feeling helpless but that is a feeling we must push aside. We must push back by watching every move and making calls to our representatives every day, and gathering at these tea parties that are a growing phenomenon in our country.
We can win this war because we have the numbers, we just don’t realize how many we are yet. Once we do we will move with confidence to shut this assault on our values down with the knowledge and power we have vested in our constitutional protections. We have the right to our liberty and a government that answers to we the people not we answering to some federal, central, incompetent, bureaucracy…
True knowledge of American history is necessary to insure the future of the America we love… This is an important time in our country's history. We must be wise and measured as we choose our leaders going forward.

Rich,
It is very scary what he is trying to do to this country. I seem to recall a politician in the 20th century who used a bad financial situation to make changes to his country. This politician used fear tactics and scapgoats to implement his policies too. I'm sure he thought he was doing the right thing for his country just like Barak Obama does...
Here's something to keep in mind...it's a poem by Martin Niemoller in 1946.
"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;
And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;
And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;
And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."
It makes you think...how about this...
"In the US in 2009 they first came for the CEO's and I didn't speak because I wasn't a CEO and they make too much money anyway.
And then they came after the doctors and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a doctor and they make too much money anyway.
Then they came after the pharmacutical companies and I didn't speak up because they make too much money anyway..."
I totally agree with the aforementioned. People are slowly starting to wake up and see the flaws in President Obama. Keep your beliefs coming, they are very insightful.
