In January, the new Congress will be sworn in, and each member will swear an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Judging by how often Congress operates outside the bounds of the Constitution, one wonders if
the members actually ever read our most important founding
document.


If there is a mandate for the Congress coming out of the 2010 elections, it is that the
Constitution must be made relevant again. And what better way to begin the One
Hundred Twelfth Congress than to have read aloud, in both the House and Senate,
the Constitution in its entirety.


The House and Senate will waste hours congratulating sports teams, naming post offices, and
various other meaningless tasks. Even worse, it will spend much more time doing
things for which it has absolutely no constitutional
authority.


The purpose of this petition is clear and obvious. The Congress must be reminded that this is a
nation of laws, and there is a law that governs what the Congress is empowered
to do -- either to justify their actions or to demonstrate when they are
unlawfully operating beyond their bounds, no matter how
well-intentioned.


If you believe that the Constitution matters in the 21st century, and if you agree that it
would be time well spent for the Congress to read the Constitution, then please
http://readtheusconstitution.org/" href="http://readtheusconstitution.org/">SIGN THE
PETITION.


Obviously, in petitioning our government, the people must speak with numbers on their side.
Just like it's only one vote per person at the ballot box, but each vote counts
and any vote can make the difference, so it is that every signature on this
petition counts. So please help get the word out. Spread the petition effort far
and wide -- family, friends, churches, gun clubs, Facebook, e-mail lists,
internet forums, your own website or blog, radio shows... whatever you think
might result in even one additional signature. Thank you.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
