An Open Letter To Nancy Pelosi

By on February 5, 2010 in Constitution, Delegated Powers 2

Representative Pelosi,

I heard you on the news laugh at a reporter when he asked the question “Where in the constitution does the congress have the authority to control healthcare in America.” So I thought I should ask you: “What are the powers granted under the Constitution as you read it?” Better yet, (because I don’t have all day) maybe it would be easier for you to list the powers that are not given to the Congress under the U.S. Constitution? The way I read it there are only a few specific powers given to the Federal Government by the Constitution

Your policies, and the policies of congresses, administrations, and supreme courts of the last 80 years are an affront to the existence of freedom and liberty in America. The lawful exercise of authority vested in you is no laughing matter and I expect you to treat it with the utmost of seriousness. Exceeding that authority is unlawful, not that that seems to bother you. So Nancy, what are the things in your opinion that are out of the reach of your legislative authority?

By on October 22, 2009 in Elections 3

John Dennis is running for the US House of Representatives in California’s 8th District.  Yes, that’s Nancy Pelosi’s seat.    Mr Dennis takes a strong stand in support of the limits on government that the Constitution stands for.   In this spirit, he’s signed on to our 10-4 Pledge.

The pledge affirms, in part, that:

When Congress enacts laws and regulations that are not made in Pursuance of the powers enumerated in the Constitution, the People are not bound to obey them.

It’s also a promise to do many things, including: Continue Reading →
