Yesterday Rep. Walter Jones, republican of North Carolina, introduced H. Concurrent Resolution 107, which calls on the House, the Senate Concurring, to do the following: “IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES March 7, 2012 Mr. JONES submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary

CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of Congress that the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.

Whereas the cornerstone of the Republic is honoring Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), That it is the sense of Congress that, except in response to an actual or imminent attack against the territory of the United States, the use of offensive military force by a President without prior and clear authorization of an Act of Congress violates Congress’s exclusive power to declare war under article I, section 8, clause 11 of the Constitution and therefore constitutes an impeachable high crime and misdemeanor under article II, section 4 of the Constitution.”

This is great and especially where it applies to a man who has usurped plenary power in our White House.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your counsel nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.”

—Samuel Adams

Interesting bio on this former NC democrat serving on the Liberty Caucus with Rep. Ron Paul.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wa lter_B._Jones,_Jr.

Iraq war

Jones was initially a strong supporter of the conflict in Iraq, but then became one of the leading Republicans opposed to continued involvement in Iraq. Jones became well known for leading the effort, along with GOP Rep. Bob Ney, to have french fries renamed "freedom fries" in House cafeteria menus as a protest against French opposition to the 2003 invasion of Iraq.[28] Jones later modified his stance on the war to a considerable extent. In 2005, he stated that he had come to believe that there had been little reason to go to war, despite his earlier support, which had been based upon selective intelligence supplied to Congress. He said of his previous position on the fries, "I wish it had never happened."[29] In July 2006, the names were quietly changed back.[30]

On March 17, 2005, he sponsored a bill endorsing the conduct of his Camp Lejeune constituent, controversial Marine Corps Lieutenant Ilario Pantano, who faced charges (subsequently dropped) for having shot two Iraqis (allegedly unarmed civilians) on April 15, 2004.[31]

Jones called on President George W. Bush to apologize for misinforming Congress to win authorization for the war. Jones said, "If I had known then what I know today, I wouldn't have voted for that resolution."[32]

He contends that the United States went to war "with no justification."[1] [29] On the subject, he said, "I just feel that the reason of going in for weapons of mass destruction, the ability of the Iraqis to make a nuclear weapon, that's all been proven that it was never there." He added that his change of opinion came about from attending the funeral of a sergeant killed in Iraq, when his last letter to his family was being read out. On June 16, 2005, he joined with three other members of Congress (Neil Abercrombie, Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul) in introducing a resolution calling for the start of a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq to begin by October 2006.[33] Jones covered the hallway outside his office with photographs of soldiers who had died in Iraq.[1] He said,"If we were given misinformation intentionally by people in this administration, to commit the authority to send boys, and in some instances girls, to go into Iraq, that is wrong. Congress must be told the truth."[1]

In 2007, he and Rep. William Delahunt (D-MA) introduced the Constitutional War Powers Resolution, which seeks to "prohibit the president from ordering military action without congressional approval, except when the United States or U.S. troops were attacked or when U.S citizens needed to be evacuated." [34]

On January 12, 2007, he introduced H. J. Res. 14: Concerning the use of military force by the United States against Iran in the 110th congress.[35] According to Jones on his web site, the resolution requires that — absent a national emergency created by an attack, or a demonstrably imminent attack, by Iran upon the United States or its armed forces — the President must consult with Congress and receive specific authorization prior to initiating any use of military force against Iran.[36] This resolution was removed from a military spending bill for the war in Iraq by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on March 13, 2007.[37]

On March 23, 2007, Jones was one of two Republicans to vote for a bill that would require President George W. Bush to bring combat troops home from Iraq by September 1, 2008. The other Republican was Wayne Gilchrest of Maryland's 1st congressional district.[38]

Jones's views on the war in Iraq did not ingratiate him to Bush or to the Republican leadership, which prevented him from succeeding the late Jo Ann Davis as ranking Republican on the Readiness Subcommittee of the Armed Forces Committee. He was passed over for Randy Forbes when the 110th Congress convened because the full committee's ranking member, Duncan Hunter of California, didn't agree with Jones' change of heart on the war.[39] He had been approached by some Democrats about bolting the GOP and either becoming an independent caucusing with the Democrats or switching back to the Democratic Party outright.[40]

Additionally, Jones' changed views on the war and other issues angered many Republicans in his district, which has the largest military presence of any in North Carolina.[1]

[edit]Committee assignments:
Committee on Armed Services
Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces
Subcommittee on Military Personnel
Committee on Financial Services
Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit
Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology (Vice Chair)
He also serves on the Liberty Caucus (sometimes called the Liberty Committee),
a group of libertarian-minded Republican congressional representatives.[41]
Congressman Ron Paul hosts a luncheon for the Liberty Caucus every
Thursday. Other members include Jim Duncan of Tennessee, Roscoe Bartlett of
Maryland, Scott Garrett of New Jersey, and Jeff Flake of Arizona.[42]

Congress is "comic relief" and nothing more.

"You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul."

Ha...

Not true.

There are 80 million non voters in this country.

Lets have election "reform" as was done in the Soviet Union. Every adult was REQUIRED to vote under criminal penalty. Check the records, they had compliance up to 99.6 percent.

Jethro's Utopia on Earth ensued, right?????? Right????

NO??????????? What happened.

Well now it seems only communists were allowed to run for office, and only one person per office.

Our system is much better, DEMOCRACY AT ITS FINEST, wonderful, great, wheeeee.

What a huge difference, we are so lucky, we get to vote for one of two people, what a difference and a bonus we can register as a democrat or republican, or whatever comes to mind.

Now I understand why we are so much better off than the peasants of most countries. We get a choice between TWO PEOPLE, hot damn, my lucky day.

Yes, Tweedledumb and his intellectual and ideological twin, Tweedledumber. True in over 95% of the cases I think. Walter Jones, like Ron Paul, is a cut above most congress critters.

Before the Nazis invaded France, the French sent all of their gold out of the country. FDR sent the Navy to capture it, and they did.

Now, the French are demanding payment in gold for all balance of payment deficits. Why not? It's their gold.

Now, wait until they find out that Fort Knox is really empty and the gold has been sold. ROTFLOL

We do? When the evildoers in this country are capable of choosing the POTUS, I hardly call that a choice.

Anyway, Cyni, I know you agree we don't have a two party system.
