Curbing B-Czar Behavior: an Open Letter to Congress

To Senators Warner and Webb and Congressman Nye:

The bloom is off the rose. The picture is becoming clearer to the average citizen, who is interested in his or her unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as envisioned by our founding fathers. This administration's agenda is to "re-make" America in a way that is not congruent with the fundamental principles that underlie the Constitution of the United States, which is the basic contractual agreement between the People of the United States and its appointed representatives.

The appointment -- without any review and consent by the congress-- of 32 "Czars," whose roles, responsibilities, and actions directly impact large segments of the US economy, is unconstitutional and an abrogation by Congress of its fidicuary responsiblity under Article 2, Section 2, Clause 2 of the Constitution. Furthermore, this action -- when viewed in the context of the recent "firings" of the Inspector Generals (IGs) overseeing Americorp and Amtrak, reckless deficit spending, and nomination of a supreme court justice whose writings and racist remarks make it clear she is more interested in social justice than constitutional justice -- clearly demonstrate that the administration's socialist / fascist agenda is being forced on America while bypassing the checks and balances required by the Constitution.

This citizen asks that you oppose this administration's unconstitutional policies and practices. Czars, cap and trade, healthcare "reform,", and expanded deficit spending are nothing more than ruses whose real purpose is to choke capitalism, place more control in the hands of a centralized government, and limit the People's fundamental rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I oppose the administration's continued usurpation of legislative powers that legitimately are the congress's responsibility. Perhaps, congress's time would be better spent ignoring the president and focusing on representing the people and making the constitutional system we have work.
