Koch BS - ALEC

[superpatriotman]

When the Koch Bros. #koch #ALEC try to pull their sleight of hand this November, remember this wish list of Amendments to the Constitution they and the regressives are fighting for:

1. Impose Congressional term limits
2. Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment, returning the election of Senators to state legislatures
3. Impose term limits for Supreme Court Justices and restrict judicial review
4. Require a balanced budget and limit federal spending and taxation
5. Define a deadline to file taxes (one day before the next federal election)
6. Subject federal departments and bureaucratic regulations to periodic reauthorization and review
7. Create a more specific definition of the Commerce Clause
8. Limit eminent domain powers
9. Allow states to more easily amend the Constitution by bypassing Congress
10. Create a process where two-thirds of the states can nullify federal laws
11. Require photo ID to vote and limit early voting

This list is known as the 'Liberty Amendments' and its' very existence is a threat to our constitutional republic.

Thanks for posting the list.

Going to buy Nancy Maclean's new book. It sounds scarier than any Stephen King novel!

4. Already bought it!

These people, again don’t want any public anything, nor do they want any environmental regulation hindering their profits....a few children dying of cancer from the chemicals they dump in streams, hey just a small price of hem doing boffo business.

They are crazy, ruthless, and rich, and now have helpers who are greedy too and racist.

5. Here's our political divide in a nutshell:

Public vs. Private
People vs. Profit
Science vs. Bible

All else is noise.
