Oath of Office; Congress
I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Article 1 Sec. 8 Clause 1
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence[note 1] and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.
Grover Norquist
So let me see if I understand this correctly, here you have a man who has those that we represent sing a pledge to basically brak their oath of office and NOT uphold the constitution so that he and his group may buy votes to their liking? I don't call this anything other than what it is a lobby group no different than any other on K Street, however in this one, they tend to want to pay more attention to the man more so than others. As I said in my previous posting, the important factor here is the "voter" it is we who choose who we wish to represent us and as such they should reflect those wishes whatever they may be and to sign a pledge that is meaningless and on it's surface appears to go directly against the Oath they take serves no other purpose other than to take that vote away from us.
Exactly. If they are representing him, his wonts and wishes, then they are not representing their constituents, so therefore.
Those who signed will be voted out of office.
