Be they in Congress, state legislatures, city councils and the local dog catcher.</p> <p><span style="line-height:1.6">Everyone has a duty to the country, not a political party or </span><span style="line-height:1.6">ideology. And it's the party and ideology that current trump the country. More specifically, the duty should be more geared for the public seeing how the Constitution is a covenant between the people and the government. States are only recognized in the 10th Amendment. And isn't a business nothing more than a factious entity created at the state level which by all rights isn't part of the covenant between the people and their government?</span></p> <p><span style="line-height:1.6">We need to make Congress serve the people and a business isn't a person.</span></p> </div></div></div> Sat, 24 Jan 2015 20:25:45 +0000 Beetlejuice comment 203404 at http://dagblog.com Thanks!
