More good news for the Enumerated Powers Act
Quote of the Day: “The layman’s constitutional view is that what he likes is constitutional and that which he doesn’t like is unconstitutional.” — Justice Hugo L. Black Source: New York Times, 26 February 1971.
Editorial Comment: Justice Black must have been a layman
Subject: New co-sponsors!
DC Downsizers have pounded Congress with 32,067 messages in support of the “Enumerated Powers Act” (EPA). Now there’s more good news. EPA has gained another 3 co-sponsors during the past week! Let’s keep pushing…
- Go to DownsizeDC.org’s campaign page for the “Enumerated Powers Act”
- Click on the “Talking Points” button to see if your Representative is a co-sponsor
- Then click on the “Send Your Message” button
- If your Rep. is a co-sponsor, thank him or her, and tell your Senators to introduce the bill in the Senate
- If your Rep. isn’t a co-sponsor, ask him or her to become one, and tell your Senators to introduce the bill
Remember, the federal government is legally limited by the 10th Amendment to only those functions specifically listed (enumerated) in the Constitution. The EPA would force Congress to site its specific Constitutional authority for every law they pass.
Our goal this month is to pound Congress with more than 31,730 messages. That means we must hit Congress with 1,508 messages today. Go forth and pound.
Because today’s message is so short I’m taking the opportunity to paste the instructions for our “Personalized Recruitment” project beneath my signature. The Downsize DC Army is growing very rapidly right now, and “Personalized Rectruitment” is a big reason for it. After you’ve sent your EPA message to Congress, give the instructions below a try.
Thank you for being a part of the growing Downsize DC Army.
