The reasons for the U.S. Constitution:

1. Form a more perfect Union

Maybe one where people wouldn't have to leave their own state to obtain necessary medical care?

2. Establish Justice

The fish rots from the head... Impeachment is not an effective deterrent if not used.

3. Insure domestic Tranquility

With more guns than people, and military-style weapons easily obtainable

4. Provide for the common defense

With enemies like our fellow citizens, who needs foreign enemies?

5. Promote the general Welfare

Starting with cuts to food stamps, Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

6. Secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity

Those who manage to get through school without being killed, as long as they stay home after that.

It's a republic, not a democracy! One nation, under God (believe it or leave the country), indivisible (unless you want to secede), with liberty and justice for a select wealthy few.

What a bunch of crap.

The U.S. government now represents the rich and powerful, not the average citizen.
