You know, it's nice to remember the Constitution. But, it's much better to follow the Constitution.

These days the Constitution and the rights protected therein are twisted around and ignored to the extent that the people need to wait for politicians to decide if the people have such rights before they can enjoy and express them!

If we read the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution, I believe it's easy to see that our government has way too much power. The size of the government isn't so much the issue, it's the power of the government.

In a country designed to be "of the people, for the people and by the people", it is far too much by the government and the people aren't getting it. (bold emphasis mine)
