14th is not a free ride for illegals

I think the News Leader staff really missed the target on this one. There are two problems with stating the Constitution ensures education for all. The first, is the State Constitution is subject to the US Constitution and nowhere in the US Constitution are there any enumerated powers for a free public education. This idea is foreign to a Republican form of Government and would have never been accepted by any of the founders except maybe Benjamin Rush. The idea to tax one person to educate another’s child is not only socialism and redistribution of wealth but it is also welfare. Why should one citizen’s hard earned dollars be taken from them to educate a non US citizen? There are no grounds for this anywhere in our Constitution. The SCOTUS has repeatedly sided against citizen voted measures to protect our borders, resources and the like. I voted for Prop 187 and it won easily yet we’re told it is unconstitutional? The judges ignored the people of California and the state congress to enact its own laws. Why do we allow them to legislate from the bench like that. Your defense is the 14th amendment. It is a shame that the staff did not spend a little more time in research on that bag of worms.
The 14th Amendment was never legal nor was it ever considered Constitutional from the start. The Constitution clearly states that proposed amendments must be passed by two thirds of both houses of Congress. In December of 1865, those in control of Congress refused to allow the South’s elected Representatives and Senators to be seated. At that point, Congress itself was unconstitutional. The 14th Amendment was easily defeated when it was rejected by all but one of the southern States and all of the so-called “border” States. Iowa and Massachusetts had also failed to ratify it by the beginning of March, 1867. So thus, they had only 21 ratifications of the 28 needed. So your evidence as well as the basis for the SCOTUS decision is false, unfounded and unconstitutional. So why does Americans and Missourians continue to allow the government to plunder their finances to educate other peoples kids and now illegal immigrants as well. Rise up Missouri and let them know that their thievery will no longer be tolerated. If we wanted to live in a socialist society then we’d move to Russia. If Dr. Ridder thinks I am going to approve more taxes in April when he just might spend it on more illegals he is dead wrong. To Change your Government change your vote.

The Confederate flag belongs over their graves

Open Letter to Elected Officials:
Mr. Governor, Speaker, President Pro tempore, How long will you allow the fear and ignorance of a disorganized caucus destroy any attempt at improved race relations in Missouri. This bill is more about historical heritage and respect for veterans then it is about hate and racism. The only people making it about race and hatred are the ignorant and misinformed. Keeping the flag from its place will only spell doom for Missouri history and heritage. Here are several examples as to why history proves the Confederate flag is not about hate. Hopefully after reviewing the evidence you will restore the flag to its rightful place, flying over the graves of those who died for it.

HB 999 is stuck in the rules committee with no sign of going to the floor because some think the Confederate flag is racist. Why is St Andrews cross so offensive? Did the Confederate flag ever fly over slave ships? NO! Some say, well it was used by the KKK, yeah in Ohio and New York both Yankee states mind you. The Klan has always used the American Flag. Others have said, it stands for hate and slavery. If you believe thousands died in the South to protect slavery for the 3-6% who owned them you are indeed misinformed.. The South fought for independence from oppressive taxation. The North had implemented tariffs that were destroying Southern profits. The War was fought for states rights nothing more. The Confederate flag was a flag that stood for every ones rights. If it was so racist why did 160,000 blacks, Spanish, and Native Americans fight under it. If it stood for hate then why did a black representative from the Mississippi state legislature get out of bed sick to vote to build a Confederate monument? John F Harris a black Confederate veteran and elected official from Washington County Mississippi said this about his vote. “I want it known to all the world that my vote is given favor of the bill to erect a monument in honor of the Confederate dead”. It is time for people to stop the ignorance and make a genuine effort to work on race relations in Missouri and to return the flag to where it belongs , over the graves of the men who fought for it. Call Rep. Jetton and Sen. Gibbons and tell them to stop being cowards.

Secure our Borders

Open letter to our elected officials
Dear official, there is a epidemic taking place in the borders of our great state. An epidemic that will in the long run cost us more then any hurricane. It already cost taxpayers millions a year. Yet, as of this letter, you have done little to protect us from it. You managed to pass bills like hand fishing, yet this problem festers everyday. This problem is being ignored by both parties in Washington and here in Missouri. The problem is Illegal immigration. They steal our public education. They are being imprisoned in our overcrowded jails. They acquire fake ID’s and receive social entitlements that are designed to help our citizens. Yet, you sit upon a hill, silent. The people of Missouri demand action. The Constitution Party of Missouri calls for action. We call for the deportation of all illegals currently in our custody and that are found. We call on harsh penalties for any employer who employs illegals. We call on you to enforce your Constitutional oath to protect us from invasion. We will not forget your response on election day. Choose this day whom you will serve, the people or them
