Enemy of the Left

Dear Representative Delahunt,

I have called your office multiple times on various issues. This is probably the most urgent and important yet though.I saw this headline in today's Washington post "Geithner Asks Congress for Broad Power to Seize Firms" Now he and the Obama administration wants to "seize" firms that "might" be failing and then sell their assets to their competitors??? Can this administration get any more un American in their thinking and actions? This tactic is right out of the Communist playbook! I know that might sound crazy but they are asking for yet more power and I for one am saying "ENOUGH"!!!!

If the Congress gives them this power, Congress and the Executive branch will be yet again in direct violation of your and their oaths of office to uphold the Constitution!

No where in the Constitution does the Congress have the power to seize ANY business let alone vote to transfer a non existent power to the Executive branch! If you believe they do then I am demanding you show me in the text of the Constitution in the enumerated powers where this power lies! I say that you, Obama, nor any other member of Congress can show me or any other American this because it isn't there! So, I know this sounds harsh, but something needs to be done to stop the wholesale trampling of our Constitution by our elected officials under the guise of "crisis"!

As my representative and an American, I am asking first, but demanding if I have to that:

1) You NOT support giving the fed, the treasury or the President any seizure powers of ANY business or personal property, but that you outright condemn such requests in public and to your colleagues in Congress and remind them that such powers are unconstitutional!

2) That you READ in it's entirety any bill that requires your vote and if you don't have the time to read said bill you demand adequate time to read it from the leadership and if that is not provided you must abstain from voting because of potential damage to the American taxpayer and country alike! An example of this was the "Stimulus" bill.

3) Go back and read the enumerated powers given to you as a United States Congressman in the Constitution and strictly follow them to the letter! By ignoring your Constitutional limits that were ratified by the states you are in direct violation, as is every other member of Congress, of the Constitution and your oath of office!

Rep. Delahunt, I think you are a good man, but if you refuse to work for the American taxpayer like myself by going outside the enumerated powers given you and continually expanding the size and power of government over us, the people, through more and more legislation that does nothing but enslaves us to the federal government I will hold you personally responsible for any legislation that does not directly benefit "We The People" who send you to Washington to work for "our" best interest. I am tired of our country being sold out from under us through crisis and special interests.

There is a backlash building for the people in Washington that will be felt in the 2010 mid term elections and in the states who don't adhere to the Constitution and the limits it places on government. The question is, what side of the backlash will you be on??
