[President George Washington]
If Obama succeeds in suspending the US Constitution and declares Martial law, YOU must realize that the United States of America, at that moment, instantly ceases to exist as the United States of America. Our Constitution is the only thing that grants authority to a national government and was ratified by the individual nation states and then other states applied to join that Confederacy and were accepted into the Constitutional Republic. If the founding document is suspended so then is that nation established on it suspended as well.
I would suggest that the Central States NOT follow after Washington DC's edicts, but unite in and under own Constitution Convention and thereby establish our own nation and leave the socialist states to flounder in their own mess. We have our original State Constitutions to govern our actions while we re-unite as one free nation as envisioned by some very intelligent and well educated men."

I think that what is bothering people is the fact that Homeland Security has bought up decommissioned armored vehicles from the military and has purchased millions of rounds of ammunition. Never outside of the military has any government agency done this under any president.
Add to this the incident in Nevada where 200 armed government agents with dogs, snipers and a helicopter were sent in to deal with a ranch family of 5-6 people. The Federal Government has a history of taking strong arm actions like it in the past.
While we all like to believe that the Constitution would stop any one man from seizing power we have to remember that the Federal Government acts like it owns the Constitution and that it acts like the Bill of Rights are just suggestions from long dead white men. It was Obama who not so long a go declared that he did not need the Congress and that he could legislate by executive orders. These words were used and of course they were quickly "redefined" by the Whitehouse aides.
While no one has ever been totally in agreement with this country's government there has never in my life time has there been so much anger at the government. FYI: I am including the Vietnam era into this assessment. The number of anti-government organizations are growing every day and many joining are military veterans. In reality most Americans are fed up with the taxes, the bureaucracy, the Washington style "truths" (aka lies), the cover-ups, the news media being biased, the corruption, the government give away programs and they are awakening to the fact that elections do not change or improve things. So if regular people are waking up to this reality in growing numbers then don't you think that the government realizes that it's survival may at some point be threatened? Throughout history when any government, country or empire has been threatened from within then the response has always been to evoke martial law and to exercise force to maintain the status quo. Don't think that it could happen in America? I pray that you are right.
