Law enforcement vs the People

 

Law enforcement vs the people?

http://www.idahostatesman.com/2013/10/10/2809090/boise-police-say-they-are-investigating.html

Governments, from what I have read, have always had a history of oppressing the people. History has also clarified that this oppression is incremental but there has always been a turning point, where the people have had enough and begin to fight back, are they unlawful when they do?

Who are cops and what their jobs and who are the people and what are the limitations of both? I believe that a lesson in history will clarify the proper relationship between the people and law enforcement.

Law enforcement, to my knowledge, is an unconstitutional creation that has it has been created by the eventual usurpation of the original position of peace officers that continually are continually being redefined, by government expanding their power over the people. Constitutionally and historically, the power has always been in the people as the inherent power and “authority” where the people were the masters and government was their servant. What changed, why and how? Was this change lawful?

The basic difference is that the original position of the peace officer was the position that was created to be available when summoned, when someone was violated, to keep the peace. Peace officers were known by name, they were liked and appreciated in their neighborhoods and known for good deeds outside of their limitations, cats in trees was a good example. Today, officers are increasingly becoming more and more militarized their clothing, their cars and their demeanor where now instead of keeping the peace, as a servant of the people, law enforcement demands obedience and complete submission to every law created regardless of whether the law is actually within the constitutional limitations to the point of arrest. The people however, as the inherent authority, created the positions of peace officers to keep the peace to insure they were free to move about according to their dictates without question UNLESS THEY ARE SUSPECTED OF COMMITTING A CRIME OR HAVE COMMITTED A CRIME, at which point they may be questioned. This is where the problem lays.

What happened to the peace officers? Were they lawfully abandoned without the will of the people or have they been incrementally transformed in an effort for government to take control over the people? Was it intentional to subvert the original lawful position or was it through ignorance? Was it that people were taught to give up their freedom for security that, by default gave government power over its people without limitations?

America today is lost, it has no understanding of freedom, liberty, the proper role of government, the church or the family and the only answer we have is to reactively create laws thinking somehow they will minimize crime? Law was never intended to prevent crime; it was created to punish those that commit them.

What constitutes a crime? Who defined its terms, government? Has the ability to do so just put the fate of the freedom of the people in the hands of government?

This nation was created as a nation that was an experiment in self-government. Is the incremental increase in the size and power of government consistent with a free people or do you see that the eventual encroachment could lead to some form of totalitarianism? What does history say about that?

We have an acknowledgment in every state’s constitution that God as the giver of our rights, we have the same on our federal documents as well, in that our rights in our present form of government were unalienable, that no man can take them away or obstruct them, this was the cornerstone of freedom granted by our Creator and guaranteed by our constitutions that limited government to few, specific and enumerated powers and that governments were to take an oath of understanding of those limitations and that if government exceeded these limitations, they were unlawful, and somehow today, they can tell the people we break the law and somehow they are immune from this challenge?

Our Founders knew that our freedom and liberty could only be preserved if the people remained vigilant and educated future generations about these principles and they would be lost, in one generation if we didn’t. Since then we have allowed government to tell us that there is no longer a place for God, indicating essentially that your rights are no longer unalienable but only in accordance with how they are defined by government and no one sees a problem that government in that one instance undermined the entire foundation of our government with one swipe? The assaults on our liberties will continue as long as these principles are no longer taught in school, where instead of governments desire to protect and preserve our rights for future generations, they instead have  taken control of them enslaving these generations that are taught such contrary principles.

To make my point as it relates to this issue, we have a real problem and one that will continue to get worse without any effort to open communication, people will begin to get hurt and die if this issue is not brought to the table.

How can the people that understand the law, their rights and the principles of liberty, that believe in personal responsibility exercise our rights but also reach out to law enforcement in a way that they may not see us as the enemy? We need to find a way, we are supposed to be on the same side and no one questions how we got to be against each other?

The bottom line is this, the people have Unalienable rights that no man or government can take away, they are guaranteed by a sworn oath to be protected by those that are paid to serve us. There is never a need to apprehend or command or detain anyone that is not guilty of the commission of a crime or suspected of such, especially without probable cause (Petty infractions are not lawfully probable cause). With this understanding, the people are free to exercise their freedom, to travel as they will, to speak and to stand and to record and to do whatever it is they do as long as they have not harmed another. The very idea that we have allowed government to utilize pre-crime tactics such as, ”how did I know he didn’t have a gun or was out to kill me” is outside the proper jurisdictional boundaries of their job and if allowed to be an acceptable practice, leaves the barn door open for law enforcement to act without any limitations without any accountability, of which principles are also contrary to a free people!

In closing, I have tremendous respect for law enforcement and my last wish is to create a divide between us but they must, as they demand from us, act in accordance with the law. Respect should be a two way street and a clear understanding of the limitations of the people through basic common sense and the limitations on government according to the sworn oath to understand them is what equates to a peaceful society.

There is no reason to question, suspend or detain a man for simply exercising his rights, until such time as he has caused harm to another. That is American law, that is freedom and that is what our founders original intent was for a nation of free people.

If you have read this and you know people in law enforcement, please share it with them. If you are in law enforcement, please consider meeting or communicating with me to prove what I have stated is inaccurate.  I am a man that has opinions, no doubt, but my desire is not to espouse my opinions as much as it is to share then in accordance with law and fact.

My desire is to open communication with my officers, not to tear them down. They have a hell of a job that I wouldn’t do today, if you paid me, its just flat nuts out there!

Officers, we need your help, we need to open communication to prevent this divisiveness and misunderstanding from getting worse because if we do nothing, I assure you it will that again is not my wish desire or intent!

 

 

 

 

 

Interview with Nampa Police

Interview with Nampa PD

 

After a brief unsettling phone altercation with the sergeant this morning, I was convicted to call and meet him because I believe we both misunderstood one another. I called and spoke with him and we decided to meet this morning so that we may share concerns and so that we may better understand one another and so I could take pictures of this MRAP vehicle. I shared my concerns and he shared his feelings and knowledge about what he deals with and what he sees that would justify the acceptance of such an arsenal.

 

He says that they applied for them through a 1033 program where a state or local agency can apply for equipment through the Department of Defense. He said the applied for it because he felt they needed it because people shoot at them. When I asked him what the limitations were on what the could accept, he said there really aren't any accept for what the department feels reasonable and prudent. What this means to me is that reasonable and prudent are arbitrary terms defined by the department alone and without any written limtations to protect the people accept for the arbitrary unwrittewn, undefined limitations the person in charge feels is excessive.

 

To my knowledge, there are several problems with this for those that have no clue.

 

Where is the legislative authorization for a county or city agency to receive military equipment without as much as a vote from the people? Surely the legislature has allowed this somewhere? Where are the written protections afforded to the people that prevent the increased militarization without their knowledge or their ability to stop it if the people chose to? Should our local law enforcement or government agency be able to arm and protect itself more than the people themselves could against their government?

 

If that is not alarming enough, I was told that even the feds have forced the local LE to enforce seat belt tickets or they will pull their funding? All this time I've been disagreeing with my local LE when the fight is with the feds? I feel horrible.

 

So, the question if the feds can control the states, cities and counties through federal monies and the acceptance of gifts like the MRAP, don't you think that the feds can control their use, to be used against their people against the alleged "right wing terrorist groups" and others or they will lose their funding?

 

Does no local government that was created to protect the rights of the states and the people see that the feds as well as the states have already destroyed the jurisdictional boundaries undermining state sovereignty as well as the checks and balances?

 

Can you not see that we are in trouble and is there no one that will stand and proclaim this tyranny and fight against it, we are accepting money by the feds to promote it!?

 

The federal governments job was not to fund the states to control them, its unlawful. The states were never created to take money from the feds, they too are acting unlawfully. If governments are acting unlawfully, exceeding their constitutional limitations, how can they enforce laws on the people when they themselves are guilty? How can freedom be protected when the bottom line is about the reception of money and gifts and the continual encroachments of government that were to preserve that freedom?

 

Every day our nation is one step farther from what it was intended to be. We have deviated from personal responsibility, deviated from loving God and our neighbor and deviated from the written protections against the usurpation of government and very few even notice and those that do are viewed as heretical and argumentative?

 

We need to ask ourselves if we prefer freedom or security and know that we cant have both. The law says governments must be limited, the people in support of the opposite are unlawful.

 

We are not a democracy where the majority rule, we were a republic where the rights of freedom liberty minded people were to be protected. So, what will you do today to to fight for the cause of liberty for future generations because your actions directly affect their future!

 

In closing, I would like to thank Sergeant Randall for his time and for his understanding of my concerns. Our altercation this morning would have been  non existent had we taken the time to better communicate with one another. Its also nice to know that the sergeant understands what we see, agrees with much of it and is sensitive to it. It was an interview that was much appreciated. Im not sure what if our dialogue have any impact, we can only hope it does.

 

Thank you Sergeant for your time.

Open letter to my fellow Idahoans, and our beloved media..

This letter is a variation of a letter sent to local media...

 I have lived in SW Idaho for 25 years and have always considered Idaho my home, where we have the greatest people and a government that always seemed to care even if after a closer look, as I became more educated, I realized by their voting records they apparently did not.

 The last few years since I have become increasingly more involved in our local and state government, I have not only become more fearful of those I believe have no idea about the proper role of government as I have proven in a multitude of on air interviews with our government officials, but the media, in generals seemed inability to accurately report the real news and I am appealing to all of you today to consider a few things.

 I have watched stories posted on Facebook and watched the news and I just don’t think people are getting what is truly happening to us as a nation or as a state and the influence of the feds upon our state. Today’s story that just broke on the Nampa Police armored vehicle “to fight crime” is a classic example. Is that really what our media believes?

 http://www.ktvb.com/home/Nampa-Police-Department-gets-military-vehicle-226062801.html

 and not just Nampa:http://www.kivitv.com/news/local/Idaho-Police-gain-new-military-grade-crimefighting-vehicle-226199301.html

After speaking to Nampa PD briefly, they stated that this vehicle was only used to transport officers and my question was, "Where, through the streets of Nampa or the coming war zone we all know is coming" but few are willing to stick their neck out and admit the depths of despair our government has resorted to as society continues to culturally decay? 

I can gather national links for you as well, Evidently, our government is threatened and scared about something, enough to take Tax dollars to be funded by the PENTAGON to implement these programs. According to Nampa Police, this vehicle will only be used to transport officers? again, I ask you...Where in Nampa or the coming warzone due to the coming civil unrest as the feds continue to strangle the states and their people into complete submission?

 

So, at the risk of sounding like a “conspiracy theorist” let me stay to the facts to point my direction… we have the aggressive implementation of Obama care, Common Core, both to be passed quickly before people can know what is in it, a Quasi state-federal partnerships, multinational corporate control  of government by lobbyists, our president stating publically he wanted to go around congress, His DHS calling Vets domestic terrorists, and those that cling to their guns and religion , then buying 2 billion rounds of hollow points, establishing the NDAA, inciting fear and use of firearms to implement gun control, threatening the citizens by shutting down government to force the implementation of HIS program and somehow it’s hard to believe that FEMA camps, that are so conspiratorial are so impossible? Through federal control through strings, and our acceptance of them we have allowed the feds to overreach their authority that results in the absolute erosion of the rights guaranteed to the states and the people maintain their sovereignty. I know these are only a few examples and I can give you more but can you see what the implementation of all this obviously leads to, What other conclusion is there, Logically?

 What many in their in 9-5 grind may fail to realize is the attempt by the feds to abolish jurisdictional boundaries , to take control not only of our kids but to control local and state government that will end ultimately with a global government and control over everything from law, justice, to the environment and education. They have taken over local school districts with federal funds and strings to force implementation of these programs or the funding stops, they have militarized police and suggested strongly they need the feds because they cannot handle things on their own so they use these funds to gear them up against their people and law enforcement seems not be any the wiser? Then we have the Southern Poverty Law center, the propaganda arm of the DHS to indoctrinate the law enforcement to believe that those that love our heritage freedom and liberty and state senate approved and constitutionally supported militia members are somehow subversive to our form of government when only the contrary is true?

 My intent of this letter is to have you consider meeting me and discuss where you are on all this and to find a way to offer a perspective to the people that have no idea of what is happening and maybe, if you accept it, an on air interview with me where you can have me go head to head with anyone, even your president.

 

If Idaho’s media truly cares about its people, it will consider other perspectives of what they are being told about these stories, They are not what you think, it’s happening all over the country. I will stake my reputation and my life on it!

 It is my job in all that I have done, being on the air on KIDO, running for office and verbal challenges to warn people about what is coming, the economy is not recovering, our states will not get jobs back as long as we are funding them to go out of state and overseas, our national debt will never get cured by continuing to spend, and taxes will never go down. Obama said in a speech a few years ago, “NO nation shall be held higher than another" and he is our commander in chief? “what that means as the endgame  for us is a Global redistribution at the expense of reducing this nation to rubble.

 I don’t care where your political beliefs are, it’s not about republican democrat issues, I am not racist or a hate monger, as a matter of fact I love my state and my people so much I am willing to put a target on my head and risk my reputation and that of my family to make sure people realize what is happening. These assaults are happening to all of us that knows no racial or cultural or wealth divide. Our political parties are different only in degree, not so much in ideology because both desire to enslave the masses through incrementalization as governments, through history have always done.

 I beg of you, local media, please consider meeting me, even if its only for your entertainment, and because I know you don’t want the blood of our fellow Idahoans on your hands (and not instigated by me: my disclaimer due to my federal characterization due to love of country).

 If you deny a meeting with me, as I fear you might, I would only respectfully ask that you may be up front with me, mano y mano and tell me why so I don’t bother you again.

 

Respectfully,

 

Tom

Is it my ignorance of history and law or the ignorance of those in government to think that the feds have any authority to impose healthcare, or other mandates upon the states and the people?

Have we come to believe now that our own federal supreme court, that itself has stated its dislike of our constitution, has the preservation of our rights as its primary interest when every federally created program strips the rights of the states and the people ultimately controlling them?

 

 

 

 

Support our truckers against our tyrant!

RISE AMERICA RISE!

1 Million Truckers to Protest Obama by Shutting America Down for 3 Days in October 269 Comments Share13K Tweet771 175 Share15.7K As someone whose family operates a trucking company, there was no surprise when the announcement to organize a one million trucker march in October appeared online at reagancoalition.comand on a Facebook page. According toreagancoalition.com: There is a Facebook page called "Truckers to Shutdown America." This is one of the messages they posted: My fellow patriot this effort is to support the truckers in a major shut down of America ion [sic] a 3 day strike October 11th thru 13th.Obamacare will be in effect and most people will be ready to take action. No commerce on those days stock up on items that you will need. No banking no shopping no money transactions. It does not matter if a million or 50 roll through DC in this effort. Congress will listen to We the People. Which is remove Obama from office for crimes of treason and misdemeanors. We want Congressional hearing on Benghazi and Seal Team 6. Louis Learner [sic] put in jail. No amnesty, remove all Muslims in our government that do not uphold the Constitution. Remove Eric Holder from office for crimes against the people and the Constitution. Last but not least is Fuel prices. Another post on the site states: Breaker 1 9 calling on all Trucker to shut America down for three daysOctober 11-13. The American people are bleeding out with no relief in sight. It is time to change the NEWS. Let us show our elected officials that we are 100% fed up with corruption and the blatant disregard of the Constitution that they swore to defend. Bob tail it hammer down to the bull$hit city with flags flying high. One poster had a suggestion for truckers living in the "postage stamp size states:" For you men and women already in the postage stamp sized states. Would not be much for you to "go over miles" especially with company directions and happen to show up in DC. OOPS! So far, the page has gathered over 10,000 likes. Supporting posts are popping up all over the page. One writes, "If the drivers refuse to move the trucks for that time frame, what are the big companies going to do??? Fire all the drivers? They have to stick together just like the Bikers did. We can do it!" Another poster suggested that truckers also stop where they were and refuse to start up again until they were heard. "We need to overwhelm the system," the poster states. According to one man, not all company drivers have internet access. He suggests that truckers be on the CB radio at truck stops passing the word. It is estimated there are approximately 150,000 independent/ owner-operators across the country. If every one of those truckers descended on Washington DC, it would make more than a big statement. Adding patriotic company drivers would increase the message. By halting the transport of goods throughout the country and ceasing all money transactions and shopping for three days, it would signal a nationwide peaceful protest against the tyranny in Washington. I, for one, intend to support the trucker community in their endeavors. That should come as no surprise from someone who was described as an "ignorant, stupid, brain dead right-wing woman" since the family trucking company will be participating. A million bikers drove through Washington; several thousand trucks sure can. I think the truckers, along with a few patriotic Americans in cars, pickup trucks and SUVs, would be just the ticket to tell all of those who are intent on trashing our Constitution they are dealing with Americans – a sleeping giant if you will. It can be done America. We must stand together. Mark your calendars folks for October 11th through October 13th and support the Million Trucker March. Make sure you have enough provisions to last approximately 30 days as it could take that long to restock stores with goods. I'll leave you with some appropriate song lyrics by William D.

Thoughts on Congressman Simpson, Kevin Miller and me...

I have had the wonderful privilege to be on air with Kevin Miller in the mornings as a call in contributor. Kevin, God bless him, allows me to go on air and challenge government entities, in my view and purpose, to try to eduate people or get people to think critically about what these people are saying to their constituents. It is my belief that the political posture and evasion of tough questions many times go unnoticed to our tremendous detriment, Congressman Simpson is no different in that regard to what we heard on the radio this morning and ill tell you why.

In recent interviews in have had with a variety of elected officials, including Brad Little, Tom Luna, Canyon county sheriff Donahue, Ada county sheriff Raney, ISP corporal and Boise city police chief mike Masterson, and a variety of city council members, and others, whom I enjoy speaking with in person and seem like good men,  its interesting because there is no apparent continuity, almost like they run solely on what they believe exposing the major disconnect within government. Don't get me wrong, it isn't that they are not entitled to opinion, but the people should not have to suffer at the multitude of opinions being made as law that do nothing to protect our freedom but take those freedoms away and they are as inconsistent in what they say as the difference in their opinions are. This inconsistency or Cluster*^%*^=% as i call it shows how much trouble we not only as a nation are in but here in idaho with our local government.

A few recent interviews sum up that we have a government that partly believes we are a republic while our law enforcement and others believe we are a democracy, we have congressman that believe our feds are acting unlawful , believe in state sovereignty but support appropriations for the expansion for increased federal encroachment upon the states? These few examples may not seem serious to you but think of the implications. Isn't really that the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing? How can a congressman and a governor stand on the fact we are a constitutional republic while the  people are being terrorized by their government? How can we be a republic and run efficiently as a republic when our chief of police and other law enforcement and local government officials think we are democracy and that there is no difference between the two forms of government? Is many body paying attention?

Simpson said this morning that he is proud to be on appropriations for things like the EPA and the Federal lands. When i questioned him this morning i asked him what form of government we had and isn't it inconsistent to speak of your support for state sovereignty on one hand while you support unconstitutional federal control over issues of the state? He stated that we were a republic ( must be like a Chinese republic) and that if he felt something was unconstitutional he wouldn't vote for it because he swore and oath! Nice works congressman but I ain't buying it!

Mr. Simpson answer me this, my dear friend,  If the establishment and encroachment of a multitude of federal entities was constitutional, wouldn't these entities have been included in the few specific and enumerated powers in our constitution understanding that the purpose of the constitution was to limit government, especially the federal government overreaching in the affairs of the state without expressly delegated authority through the constitution? Wasn't the purpose of the federal government to deal with foreign affairs and MAINTAIN(not restrict) COMMERCE between the states and national security? Which one of these categories does your support for lands and the EPA fall under?

Congressman Simpson, myself and your constituents, if i may boldly stand on their behalf, resent the fact that you can say what you do on the radio and assume that the people that supported you are stupid and you can get away with speak nothing but inconsistencies that yield tremendous unintended consequences that result either from your ignorance of what you do or on purpose which would make you as guilty of treason as our federal government of whom you love to ridicule. 

Congressman, senators, governors, law enforcement entities, what do you say we have a come to jesus meeting where you are forced to answer the tough questions you have been avoiding all these years? Don't you think that the people have a right to know you are selling them down the road either because you can't see what is happening or you are doing it on purpose? 

My dream is to be in a position where i can hold my government accountable, like we the peope once upon a time were supposed to be able to. I would risk my reputation and all I know to have you prove me wrong in a public forum, I have no problem facing any of you anywhere!

In summary, with every chance I have to ask the tough questions,I become increasingly more fearful not only of what government is doing, but whether they are really ignorant or are doing what they do on purpose.

Congressman, your comments  on the radio this morning were outrageous and I want you to know I see right through you.

Idaho, if you do not wake up, we're screwed!

Are blacks racist?

Black gop file articles impeachment

Black American Citizens File 'Articles of Impeachment'

8/14/2013

 

The National Black Republican Association (NBRA) based in Sarasota, FL, headed by Chairman Frances Rice, filed Articles of Impeachment against President Barack Obama with the following language:

We, black American citizens, in order to free ourselves and our fellow citizens from governmental tyranny, do herewith submit these Articles of Impeachment to Congress for the removal of President Barack H. Obama, aka, Barry Soetoro, from office for his attack on liberty and commission of egregious acts of despotism that constitute high crimes and misdemeanors.

On July 4, 1776, the founders of our nation declared their independence from governmental tyranny and reaffirmed their faith in independence with the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1791.  Asserting their right to break free from the tyranny of a nation that denied them the civil liberties that are our birthright, the founders declared:

“When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”  -  Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.

THE IMPEACHMENT POWER

Article II, Section IV of the United States Constitutionprovides: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

THE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT

In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Barack H. Obama, aka Barry Soetoro, personally and through his subordinates and agents, in violation or disregard of the constitutional rights of citizens and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice, in that:

ARTICLE 1

He has covered up, delayed, impeded and obstructed the investigation of the Benghazi Battle.

Specific conduct includes: (1) failing to adequately secure the US Consulate and the CIA annex in Benghazi; (2) failing to send a response team to rescue embattled US citizens in Benghazi; (3) lying to the American people about why the US Consulate and the CIA annex were attacked in Benghazi; and (3) hiding from the media and congressional investigators the Central Intelligence Agency personnel and other wounded US citizens who were on the ground in Benghazi by scattering them throughout the United States, forcing them to adopt new identities and subjecting them to monthly polygraph tests.

Benghazi Battle elements that are under investigation:

On September 11, 2012, the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, the US Consulate and the CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya was targeted in a premeditated, preplanned attack launched without warning by Islamist militants.

Footage of the attack broadcast in real time showed armed men attacking the consulate with rocket-propelled grenades, hand grenades, assault rifles, 14.5 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, truck mounted artillery, diesel canisters, and mortars.  It was not an act of savage mob violence, nor a spontaneous protest in response to an anti-Islamic video on YouTube.

In that attack, four American citizens were killed:  US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens; Information Officer Sean Smith; and two embassy security personnel, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods, both former Navy SEALs.  Ambassador Stevens is the first U.S. ambassador killed in an attack since Adolph Dubs was killed in 1979.

ARTICLE 2

He has disclosed secret grand jury material by exposing the existence of a sealed indictment of one of the Benghazi attackers in violation of  Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that clearly states: “… no person may disclose the indictment’s existence except as necessary to issue or execute a warrant or summons.’’

ARTICLE 3

He has authorized and permitted the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a division of the Justice Department, to conduct Operation Fast and Furious, wherein guns were sold to Mexican drug trafficking organizations that were used to kill innocent Mexican civilians and two rifles sold to a smuggler in January 2010 ended up at the scene of the murder of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in December 2010.

ARTICLE 4

He has authorized and permitted confidential income tax returns information from the Internal Revenue Service to be provided to unauthorized individuals, organizations and agencies.

ARTICLE 5

He has caused investigations and audits to be initiated or conducted by the Internal Revenue Service in a discriminatory manner, including harassment and intimidation of conservative, evangelical and Tea Party groups applying for non-profit status between 2010 and 2012.

Elements of this illegal conduct include the facts that: (1) the head of the Internal Revenue Service tax-exempt organization division, Lois Lerner, admitted during a telephonic press event that illegal targeting occurred, then invoked her Fifth Amendment right and refused to answer questions before Congress about the targeting out of fear of self-incrimination; (2) two other career Internal Revenue Service employees stated that they acted at the behest of superiors in Washington — Carter Hull, a retired Internal Revenue Service Attorney and Elizabeth Hofacre, an employee of the Cincinnati IRS office which oversaw tax-exempt applications; and (3) Carter Hull stated that he was directed to forward the targeted applications to, among others, one of only two political appointees in the Internal Revenue Service Chief Counsel William Wilkins.

ARTICLE 6

He has (1) authorized and permitted the National Security Agency to conduct or continue electronic surveillance of over 300 million average Americans; (2) given access to National Security Agency surveillance data to other intelligence units within the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Secret Service, the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security in violation of the law; and (3) conducted the surveillance of average Americans unconstrained by Congress, the United Supreme Court or the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court which has, to this date, functioned as a rubber stamp, having approved every request made of it in 2012 and rejecting only two of the 8,591 requests submitted between 2008 and 2012.

ARTICLE 7

He has authorized and permitted the Department of Justice to wiretap and secretly obtain two months of telephone and e-mail records of Fox News Reporter James Rosen and over one hundred Associated Press journalists.

ARTICLE 8

He has thwarted Congress by (1) failing to enforce all or parts of laws duly enacted by Congress, including the Defense of Marriage Act, the No Child Left Behind Act, and the Affordable Care Act; and (2) after Congress refused to pass his Dream Act, unilaterally issuing an executive order directing immigration officers to no longer deport an entire class of illegal immigrants who came here as children, regardless of individual circumstances, and to give them work-authorization permits.

ARTICLE 9

He has violated the Constitution when, on January 4, 2012, (1)  he bypassed the U. S. Senate to appoint three members of the National Labor Relations Board, actions that were ruled unconstitutional by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit which affirmed previous decisions by the Court of Appeal for the D.C. Circuit and the Third Circuit; and (2)  he bypassed the U. S. Senate to appoint Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

ARTICLE 10

He has intimidated whistleblowers and brought twice as many prosecutions against whistleblowers as all prior presidents combined.  Egregiously, while refusing to prosecute anyone for actual torture, he prosecuted former Central Intelligence Agency employee John Kiriakou for disclosing the torture program.
