Whereas: This country and our Constitution, the document you and your peers are sworn to defend and uphold, were founded upon self determination and government forever accountable to the people. Whereas: The legislative branch of the government is the only branch authorized by the Constitution to pass laws in order to execute the eighteen enumerated powers listed in article I Section 8 of the U S Constitution and to appropriate funds. Whereas: The executive branch has usurped many of the authorities...In Order to Restore Balance to our Republic, We the People do Humbly Beseech You: To draft or have drafted legislation modeled to reflect the following outline...All federal agencies and departments are to be audited...All regulations, laws, bylaws, fines, impositions, etc. will be examined by the proper congressional committee and the full congress. Any of these deemed to be un-Constitutional, (beyond the eighteen enumerated powers), extra-constitutional, superfluous, a means for usurping the processes of Congress or the will of the people will be eliminated...(read more)

I know, it is a pipe dream that Brown would support anything like this. We must start pushing our elected representatives to return our Republic back to that as outlined in the Constitution, I believe this bill is a start in that direction.

Where did you find this was a bill proposed by Brown? This seems to be just a Google doc and by the title and properties, it looks like it is a letter to Brown, not anything drafted by him.

In other words, you want to propose legislation to reinforce the Constitution because Congress refuses to comply with the Constitution. What makes you think they will comply with a simple legislative act knowing they refuse to comply with the Constitution from which all legislation is derived?

You are also asking the legislative branch of government for permission for the states and the people to reassert their 10th Amendment rights from the very body who is violating those rights!

States and the people do not need to ask permission to reassert their 10th Amendment rights. They dictate to Congress via nullification for all powers Congress has usurped from the states. Doing so will tell and remind Congress the states and the people are the fourth and most powerful branch of government and have expansive powers over the other three branches and reasserts the notion of a limited federal government as the founding fathers intended when they wrote the Constitution.

Am proposing legislation that would order the legislative branch actually do their jobs, Yes

First of all Scott Brown is the last guy in the world to reform anything. Second the new rules of the House say that with every new piece of legislation submitted there has to be an accompanying statement of its constitutionality.

My Rep Rob Woodall confirmed last Wed night that they are indeed abiding by this new rule.

[BillGunn]

there is a difference between legislation and regulation. One requires the legislative body to act, the latter excludes the legislative body. This bill is intended to place regulation on the same plane as legislation.

I know Brown is not the guy to do this. This will be sent to someone more inclined after we go to the press locally and expose him for who he is if he refuses to act on this.
