Of the two Preambles below;

To which do you subscribe?

By Arnie Sherr

 

Preamble No. 1 - ”We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

 

Preamble No. 2 -”We the Corporations of the United States of America, in Order to form a more perfect Global Union, establish Corporate Justice, insure Corporate Tranquility, provide for Corporations, promote the general Corporate Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to Corporate America and its Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Corporations of the United States of America.” 

 

My friends, the first of the two Preambles is the authentic; the second it seems is the one that both the right and the left recognize. My question is this; “which of the two do you recognize?”

 

I have written so many essays about this very issue. President Obama ran on the platform that it is his desire to change Washington, or at least the way in which things are done. As much as he wants to accomplish this dream, it can not be done without us; yes, you and me!

 

How more clearly can I make my point? What our founders meant for us, “We the People,” is not the gradually unwritten Preamble to which our elected worship. You see, the words have not been formally changed, but the interpretation owned by both the members of the Congress and Senate is, as they demonstrate over and over, clearly spelled-out in Preamble No 2. Simply play it all back; it’s like a recurring dream. Every time they debate what is good for Main Street America, they become as fish hungry for the reddest of worms. It’s as if Mother Nature says to them, “I’ll see that you’ll live happily and wealthy in eternal fish bliss, if only you’ll take the bait.”

 

But, do you know what; it is Global Corporations who are baiting the hooks for Congress and the Senate. Every time the American people set sail to better their catch, America’s corporations bait their hooks. Because of their wealth the bait is plumper and more alluring to the fish we have placed in our Senatorial and Congressional fish bowls.

 

Ya know, I am not leaning to the right or to the left with this literary analogy. Moreover, the only way we can get a handle on changing Washington is to unseat every incumbent; vote only for the new kids on the block. Pick your party preference, but make it clear by this united action that if the new don’t respect the original Preamble they too will be unseated before their newly ratified two term limits have expired.

 

Let me be clear; I have little money, but a whole lot of love for America and “We the People.” To make this happen I need you to flood the inboxes of everyone you know with this essay. When doing so, instruct them as I am instructing you to, through whatever means possible, send this essay with their written endorsement to every elected official in their respective states. Conversely, if you or they don’t agree you are free to store this in your file 13 – Isn’t that where the corporate powerful hide incriminating and counterproductive documents? Or perhaps Madam Speaker can lift one end of your carpet while you get your broom!

 

G-d Bless America
