When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Did you catch those little words?

IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO ALTAR OR TO ABOLISH IT!

I think it's time.

The U.S. Constitution LIMITS "our" government's powers.

"Our" government (House, Senate, and President) has VIOLATED the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA! They (politicians) have also violated their OATH of OFFICE! (To "[Preserve], Protect and Defend" the Constitution of the United States. In fact, everything they are doing now is DESTROYING not only the U.S.CONSTITUTION, but our COUNTRY as a whole. They are "selling us out" to other countries, and are creating a debt that none of us will ever be able to pay off.

(All the while, padding their wallets and those of their friends/associates.)

It's time we call them (politicians) on it! Either "recall" them, or VOTE them OUT OF OFFICE!

Wake up, people! We are being moved from CITIZENS of the United States of America to SUBJECTS of a Socialist/Progressive country!
