The following is the text of an open letter I wrote to my congressman Mike Fitzpatrick...
"Issue: WEBGOVMessage Subject: Obama Out of Control
Message Text:
Recent news items have me worried about the state of our democracy. The President in my opinion has way overstepped his constitutional authority in at least two ways within the past several weeks. First, He apparently BROKE THE LAW by refusing to consult with congress before negotiating with terrorists. The law is the law and even the President should not be above it. A simple email to congress notifying them of pending actions would have sufficed. But, he apparently did not even take that minor step. Secondly, just yesterday he used the presumptive authority of his office to deny the union SEPTA workers their constitutional rights to refuse to work without a contract. I doubt that there is any law upon which to base his authority to do this. At least, he apparently has not identified any such law. So TWICE the President has gone beyond the bounds of the law to do thing in his own heavy-handed unilateral way. This is NOT the way our constitution says that his role is to be played. I strongly urge you and your colleagues to IMPEACH the President and call for him to account for his actions in a court of law. I believe these and others of his actions will fail the test of constitutionality."
I urge any of you who have similar opinions about the actions of the President to make your voices heard. Write your congressional representatives, newspapers, etc. Our liberties are being stolen while the silent majority remains silent and apathetic.
