First, I thank all of you for your interest. This is what FreeRepublic is all about.
To resolve the unconstitutional acts of our “trusted” officials in WNDC, it is perhaps best to observe the Constitution with its original intent by the Founding Fathers. Undo the bad acts back to what the Constitution would have allowed in the beginning. Destruction and waste is ridiculous to even think about. It must always be remembered that “We are the government”.
Saying that considering the Constitution will muddy the waters is tantamount to saying we have lost it. The Supreme Law of this land consists of that trilogy known as the Constitution of the US, the Federalist Papers and the US Supreme Court cases. It is the deviation from that supreme law by WNDC that has us in “turbulent waters”.
Certainly in the West, water runs with the land. This is a vital truth. Water rights are filed and followed. But the federal government can not. We all have “unalienable rights”, and right to ownership of water is one of them.
The Indians sold their reservation to the federal government. The Indians have no say in this matter. I hold nothing against Indians. It is the law with which I am concerned.
As pointed out, the water project was paid off in full long ago. I see no subsidy there. Please get your facts straight before expounding.
The only discussion of the military pertinent to this discussion is the Posse Comitatus law which forbids the use of military against civilians. Yet armed federal agents stood in ready to draw stance while the Headgates were closed the last time. I was there and saw it with my own eyes.
Controls are very important here, water being only one, but quickly vital. See my Controls List. (Click on Controls.)
I do not see this as a civil war, but rather RW2 - Revolutionary War 2. Read the Declaration of Independence and update it to today.
It could be true that I will get nowhere. But one thing is certain: I will get nowhere for sure if I do nothing. I am dedicated to saving this Constitutional Republic for my issue or die trying.
Thank you for your interest.
