We’re being caged in from all sides.  I don’t know if I should be appalled but I just can’t find the energy nor the innocence I once had to be surprised by anything these crooks do under the guise of government.  Perhaps I’ve just become so cynical about our “lawmakers” and in truth I would be surprised if anyone except the usual handful, such as Ron Paul, has the guts to stand up against this tyranny and actually give a hoot what the people want, those same people that voted them into office.

But then again, there’s the creeping despair I feel as I watch one after another of these brazen attempts to imprison the American Citizens and I wonder when the land of the free is really and truly dead, which won’t take long as it’s nearly there, where will we go?  Will Texans stand up for the freedom they once enjoyed?  Will we fight off this tyranny as we have in the past or will we just allow ourselves to become enslaved.

What makes this even more pathetic in my eyes is that there seems to be no repercussions and those in power know it.  They can have their campaigns of disinformation force-feeding us the gruel of contentment while sugar coating our very demise until we are thankful for it and begging for more.

People seem to be waking up but is it too little too late?  After all it’s become obvious that our lawmakers know we’re angry, they know we don’t approve and they can see we are slowly but surely electing new Senators and Representatives that actually, well…  Represent us and yet here they are nailing the coffin down on our Constitution, our bill of rights and our way of life.  Maybe this blitz of legislation that includes the destruction of our rights to choose what food we eat, what commerce we participate in and what health care we want (if any) is their way to destroy all opposition by overwhelming us until we lie down like whipped dogs.  I for one think it’s far past time we teach them that whipped dogs can and do bite back.

So, have any of you looked at this gem?  As usual it’s in pretty packaging made to look like a wonderful new system to help our downtrodden and save the environment with “green” energy mandates.  But look more closely.  In reality it is taking even more taxes out of our pockets, forcing us to allow federal government intervention in the planning and building of homes, federal interference in zoning laws (see how Zoning got an organic farmer in Georgia hit with $5000 in fines in case you wonder what the danger is there) and oh yeah, the witch hunt against grassroots organizations like the Campaign for Liberty.  With S. 1619 the Federal government would, in this one sweeping gesture, take over our homes, force our energy costs even higher in a time where most of us are already struggling to make ends meet, and force us into making changes to our homes in order to comply.  Those that cannot afford it will I guess end up having the government seize their homes or maybe just arrested, fined and put into jail to keep company with those who couldn’t afford to buy themselves some health insurance.

We then truly become tenants of a landlord, to which we fully fund and are supposed to control buy in reality we have no control.  For the people and by the people?  No… not anymore.  Against the people but funded by the people is more like.

I urge everyone to sign this petition against S. 1619 and keep our property rights out of the hands of bureaucrats.  I am also urging everyone to bombard your Senators with calls and emails, tell them this will not stand and you will not be a part of it.  http://chooseliberty.org/lca.aspx?pid=nd1

The petition specifically outlines these objections:

“Stop the Dodd Homeowner Control Act
Petition to the U.S. Senate”

Whereas:	Passage of the Dodd Homeowner Control Act (S. 1619) would enforce federal zoning, energy and housing standards inspired by the radical globalist environmental agenda on communities all across America; and
Whereas:	The Dodd Homeowner Control Act will create a massive new Office of Sustainable Housing and Communities under the direction of a new “development czar;” and
Whereas:	Cities and towns would fall under the direction of un-elected boards, councils and governments tasked with enforcing the Development Czar’s edicts; and
Whereas:	Homeowners could be forced to spend tens of thousands to comply with zoning, energy and sustainability mandates; and
Whereas:	Passage of the Dodd Homeowner Control Act would be an unprecedented loss of freedom, as the federal government will be deciding what type of homes we have and where we are allowed to live;
Therefore:	I urge you to vote against S. 1619, the Dodd Homeowner Control Act, at every opportunity, including voting to maintain a filibuster.
