OUR SECOND AMMENDMENT

  Today on C-Span, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education, came to voice their commitment to PROTECT our Second Amendment! Star Parker, (Founder), Ken Hutchinson, (Pastor), Harry Alford, (National Black Chamber of Commerce), Niger Innis, (Congress of Racial Equality President), to name just a few of the speakers.
  All of them Black, all of them active in the Community, either in the Church, or in the Professional Sector, and ALL of them know the importance of the Second Amendment. They all agree that your rights are given to you NOT by the Government, but by GOD! (If your Atheist, then whatever you believe in)
  They know that the attack on our right to bear arms has NOTHING to do with stopping violence, and EVERYTHING to do with POWER! Our Constitution was written to PROTECT the People of the United States!  You can watch the whole thing on C-Span.org.   Then I would LOVE to hear from YOU!

  PEOPLE kill people! You cannot ban everything that can do harm to another. You MUST change the HEART of the people who would do harm!
 

DRONES AGAINST AMERICA

  Our Constitution was written to protect the citizens of the United States. It was written because our Founding Fathers knew, first hand, what happens when a Government (or King), has to much power. They came here, a new land, to be free, free to own land, free to worship God, (or not). Free to pursue their dreams without fear of 'loosing their head', for daring to go against ' the crown'. Free to improve their life, and the life of their family.
  In the last 100 yrs. this Country has lost it's way. The 'People' have lost their way. Somehow, 'We the People," have forgotten that it's NOT the Government that owns this Country, it's us, "The People".
  Our 'Government' is a necessary evil, it was formed  to protect us from the threat of invasion, to open up borders for trade across state lines and international trade, to protect the 'People" from threats both foreign and domestic.  It was NOT created to run our lives, invade our privacy, or decide who lives or dies.  This Government seems to feel that our life belongs to THEM and we are to live it as THEY choose, not as WE choose.  But, I can't entirely blame the politicians for that, I blame us, the 'People', for allowing this to happen, let someone else do it, and that's why we are at this point in time!
   Many people in this country seem to think that it's OKAY for our Government, CIA, and, or President,  to use drones to target and kill "American Citizens", if they are determined to be an "Enemy Combatant", WITHOUT a hearing, a trial, or a warrant!.
  There have been NUMEROUS documented cases where our 'government' has ABUSED the trust and power that the "People" have entrusted them with, and like it or not, this is more often than not. I would love to believe that our elected officials were honest, moral and principled people, but they are human, and human is corruptible!
  Since DNA, we have found out that hundreds, maybe thousands of people who were convicted of  serious crimes, Rape & Murder, people who spent 20-30 yrs behind bars, or worse, executed,  only later to be found innocent. Human Beings make mistakes, that's why we have safeguards in place.
  The point is, there is NO PERSON, on this Earth, who should be able to make the decision to take the life of another, without 'due process', or in self defense!. In times of war, we have the "Geneva convention'. But, under THIS administration, for some reason, people have lost whatever common sense they at one time possessed. To allow the President, or anyone else, to make the decision to label a United States Citizen, a traitor or enemy combatant, and then decide to use our drones to kill them, is criminal.
  I've listened to both sides, but once we, as a country, start breaking our own laws, what does that make us?  "We the People", have a DUTY, to be sure our Government stays within the confines of the LAW!
  The idea that anyone in office should have the kind of power to decide, without due process, who an enemy is or isn't, goes against everything that this Country was founded on!
