magical powers.� I know the secrets of life and liberty.��� I know what pure joy is.� I know what pure terror is.� I� know the� difference between fair and unfair and I didn't need� a law degree to learn about it.�� I know what trust is and what it means to be trusted.� I am one of a kind and� every mom knows who I am.� Moms have feelings.� Feelings can change the world faster than a cat can wink its eye.� This mom and every other mom who wants to change the world to make it a better place is welcomed to share their feelings and make it happen.� This is a magical place.�� This is a grand gathering of moms.� There is magic in this air.
I celebrated the 4th of July, 2005, writing this web page.�
Yahoo wizard helped (a lot) but nonetheless� I feel� liberated and that is what the 4th of July is all about.��� I also did something else I felt was very appropriate for the 4th.��� I e-mailed my Congressperson the orignial 10 Bill of Rights.� I changed the words "Amendments" to "Rights and submitted the Bill to be signed into law.�
In 1791 America's� Bill of Rights were ratified.� I am not so sure ratification qualifies as a law.� I am� sure given recent Supreme Court decisions, 2000 presidential election, Conneticut decision on eminent domain, and the original� ruling on eminent domain by chief Justice, John Marshall in 1833 in Barron v Baltimore, that our Bill of Rights were never put into effect.�� John Marshall was not shy about expressing his distain and hatred of the� idea of a democracy.� He called it mobocracy.� The opportunity to diminish the Bill of Rights into a Bill of Attainder presented itself in Barron v Baltimore.� He single handedly turned over all our Rights as citizens of the United States to individual States.� Thereby incorporating for the first time the verbage "Rights" of a State. States "Rights" are not mentioned anywhere in the Constitution.�� States had powers and were denied certain powers, but never were they ever granted any Rights.��
For 172 years we have been living under the illusion that we have Rights.������ Every congressional representatives takes an oath of office swearing to uphold, defend and protect our Bill of Rights.�
I need to know where Congress really stands on my Rights.� Because of recent decisions by the Supreme Court I am having some doubt as to what their idea of what my rights are.� My idea of rights is that they are absolute and unconditional.� So to set the records straight I do not think it is unreasonable to� ask Congress to officially once and for all sign the original� Bill of Rights into law.��� The 11th through 27th Amendments can remain Amendments.�
To get the ball rolling here as a our first official declaration of� momism I would like to recommend that every mom send a copy of the Bill of Rights to their U.S. Senators and ask them to sign it into law.� Thereby establishing once and for all the Rights of all people to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.��
You can get a copy of the Bill of Rights at http://www.law.cornell.edu/
constitution/constitution.bill ofrights.html.� I did not like the idea of our rights as an afterthought.� So I changed the word "Amendment"� to Rights.
I will make your responses� available as soon as I learn how to do that.� In the mean time I can be reached at my e-mail address.� Thank you moms and welcome.
