The Government of the United States
I hear too many students (and way too many adults) say I have Rights who couldn't quote one of the Amendments to the Bill of Rights if you promised them the Lucky Lotto numbers for the week!
Know our Rights and Responsibilities. Don't leave 'em up to the Bureaucrats to remember. They hardly remember yesterday's campaign promises!
Federal Government - Legislative Branch
They're supposed to Represent not Resent WE, THE PEOPLE of the United States. They are to make laws which provide for the common defense of WE, THE PEOPLE of the United States, as well as ensure the domestic tranquility of WE, THE PEOPLE.
Other than that, they usually spend most of their time accomodating their favorite wealthy business interests groups legislating on behalf of their largest political action contributors.
Check out the Homepages of Our Congress:
These 9 men and women are supposed to judge all lower federal, state, and local laws and decisions holding them up to the U.S. Constitution -- the Supreme Law of this country. They are NOT supposed to reinterpret the Constitution, nor to make laws.
Court TV Law Center -- a media web-site containing current transcripts of "popular" court cases.
They (starting with the President) are supposed to enforce the Constitution. The rulers and the ruled are supposed to live under the same Law. But don't you for one minute think those rosey colored high ideals are reality.
This is where Bill and Hillary once lived! Recently, it's been occupied by George W. and lovely wife Laura, the former librarian. Now, it's Barak and Michelle's place.
Two Examples of Our Government at Work
EXAMPLE #1 -- Donald P. Scott, age 61, owned and lived on a 200-acre property known as the Trails End Ranch, 35247 Mulholland Highway, in the Ventura County portion of Malibu, California. On October 2, 1992, while serving a search warrant on Scott charging him with growing marijuana plants at his ranch, Los Angeles County Sheriffs Deputies Gary R. Spencer and John W. Cater, Jr. shot at Scott, resulting in his death. Subsequently, no marijuana was found.
Both the shooting and the events leading up to it have raised a number of issues of concern to various law enforcement agencies as well as the public. The following link summarizes an investigation and its conclusions.

EXAMPLE #2 -- Although John Singer was a guy with ethics and values quite different to many Americans, he still was an American citizen. John Singer was born in New York on 6 January 1931. He was a member of the Mormon Church who was later excommunicated for his fundamentalist beliefs, including the practice of polygamy. Singer gained public notoriety because of his stand against what he felt was the immorality of the school system.
