what happened to our right to vote is that it has been usurped by the
political parties, which are, in and of themselves, unconstitutional as
they have no constitutional right whatsoever to exist. because the
people had the right to vote, greedy and unscrupulous power-seekers
banded together as corporations called political parties in order to get
candidates favorable to themselves elected. once elected, instead of
representing the people who had elected them, they represented their
political parties instead. they used their office to make their own
rules and to govern rather than to represent.
unfortunately, we only have those rights which we can defend. the right
to freedom of religion, for example, is meaningless if you are born into
and dependent upon a religious family that will punish you if you do not
adhere to their religion. the right to freedom of the press is
meaningless if the government owns and controls the media. our
constitution guaranteed us the right to vote, but it is the political
parties, in seeking to control how we vote, who have been attempting to
deprive us of this right.
but there is an even bigger problem with our constitution. there are
some supreme court justices who have debated the "original intent" of
the framers. they cannot see the intent of the constitution spelled out
anywhere within it. yet it is there. it is a mission statement, and is
therefore placed right at the top of the document, and it is called the
preamble. it says that the intent of the framers was to ordain and
establish the constitution so as to "form a more perfect union,
establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common
defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of
liberty...." there can be no clearer statement of intent. the
constitution was written and adopted for those specific purposes. yet in
their search for absolute power, or tyranny, the supreme court nullified
an election by the people in 2000 and installed an illegitimate
president who was not elected and who then proceeded to stack the
supreme court with more partisan justices. in doing so, the supreme
court itself acted unconstitutionally. and why shouldn't they? there was
nobody to oppose them. certainly not the democrats who voted to confirm
those supreme court justices.
