While the Constitution is under attack by the Obama administration, the Senior Senator from this author's home state, John McCain, who has affirmed the oath preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution on many occasions, is not upholding that sacred oath at every opportunity himself. Instead, he is promoting legislation designed to diminish the freedoms of the American Person and empower lobbyist and special interest groups. He is sponsoring and introducing bills that have no adherence whatsoever to the enumerated powers of the Federal Government as described in the U.S. Constitution.

Bill S. 3002, the Dietary Supplement Safety Act (DSSA). This will serve as the fruits of the massive expenditure of time and American taxpayer dollars investigating the use of illegal steroids by prominent sports figures. Not exactly in line with the limitations defined within the enumerated powers, and an incredibly acrobatic stretch to apply the ‘commerce clause’. Nevertheless, our Congress has proven to be excessively limber and malleable over the recent decades. This bill would give the FDA power to remove all nutritional supplements from the market. Perhaps the most chilling aspect of DSSA; it would allow the Health and Human Services Secretary to establish a list of permitted supplements. This will reverse common law, which assumes all is legal unless restricted. DSSA would cripple the entire industry of nutritional supplements and vitamins, allowing only those elements authorized and controlled by the Government to be legal and available to the public. DSSA would result in enormous increases in costs for consumers, grant incredibly overreaching new power to the FDA, and drastically limit the availability of nutritional supplements. Drug companies could also manipulate the authority of DSSA to sell what today are over-the-counter items as drugs; securing new patents and income streams as they go.

Bill S. 3081 the ‘‘Enemy Belligerent: Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010’’. While this bill has a great name, its resulting authority would circumvent the United States Constitution and the civil rights of U.S. Citizens

SEC. 5. Detention without trial of unprivileged enemy belligerents:
An individual, including a citizen of the United States, determined to be an unprivileged enemy belligerent under section 3(c)(2), in a manner which satisfies Article 5 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Treatment of Prisoners of War, may be detained without criminal charges and without trial for the duration of hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, in which the individual has engaged.

Bureaucrats and Politicians continue to ignore the citizens of the United States. We speak out and rally together, we hold so-called TEA Parties, and town-hall meetings; we phone, send faxes and emails to our elected representatives but they fail to represent. They have become corrupt. Their integrity and honor beguiled by greed and ego.

There is a massive force building, working to replace the big government politician and bureaucrat in Washington D.C., as well as at the local level, with a reawakened Citizen Politician of the past. The demand for Constitutional adherents, limited Government advocates, States Rights proponents, and a return of common sense and a Leadership that acts with restraint and accord with the founding documents and within the established rule of law, is gigantic.
