South Dakota Constitution Party Newsletter June 20, 2006 WATCHING THE CONSTITUTION FADE AWAY The Bush administration has done more damage to Americans and more harm to America’s reputation than any other administration in history. Yet, a majority of Republicans still support Bush. This tells much about blind party loyalty. By encouraging the move offshore of American jobs and manufacturing, Bush has run up tremendous trade deficits that have undermined the world‚s confidence in the dollar as the reserve currency. Recently, both Chinese and Russian government officials warned of the dollar’s shaky status. The fall in confidence in the dollar is evidenced by the sharp run-up in the price of gold. In January 2001 the price of gold was about $240 per ounce. Today the price is $660 per ounce. The price of gasoline has risen from around $1.30 per gallon to over On Bush’s watch, three million US manufacturing jobs have disappeared. Tens of thousands of highly qualified US engineers have lost their employment. US job growth has fallen six to seven million jobs behind population growth. Recent college graduates are employed as waitresses and bartenders. Illegal immigration has continued to explode. While Bush spends $1 On false pretenses Bush invaded Iraq, a country that comprised no threat to America. American high explosives have devastated Iraq and its infrastructure and killed at least 100,000 Iraqi civilians, people who Bush claims to be bringing freedom and democracy. All stability has disappeared from Iraq. Iraqis now live in fear of one Not content with the uncontrollable mayhem he has brought to Iraq, Bush hopes to expand the catastrophe by attacking Iran. The US Secretary of State, sounding like the warmonger she is, says the US may ignore the United Nations and attack Iran on its own initiative. This would be the second time that the Bush administration initiated wars of aggression--war crimes under the Nuremburg standard established by the US. Bush claims that he is higher authority than both US law and Bush has declared himself to be the sole judge of the limits of his Yet. Congress is supine as the Bush regime exercises dictatorial powers. The exercise of these dictatorial powers by the executive is a far greater danger to American liberty than are Muslim terrorists. Bush’s apologists claim that only terrorists have anything to fear. As Jacob Hornberger, president of the Future of Freedom Foundation wrote last month, “we now live in a nation in which the president has the omnipotent power to ignore all constitutional restraints on his power.” Bruce Fein, a Justice Department official in the Reagan administration said that Bush “is moving us toward an unlimited executive power.

******************************************************** VIEWPOINT–HB 1215 Position I agree about 99% with HB 1215 except for Section 4 and 11. I believe that it would have been better to leave Section 11 out because it just leaves the chance for a court of law to overturn this if it so deems. That is where we got Roe Vs Wade in the first place. If HB 1215 is right, and I believe it is wholeheartedly, with some exception (section 4 and 11), then there is no provision to provide for it to be unconstitutional because our country had taken a stance against abortion since its conception. It is only because our nation has been told that we are a Democracy that so many changes have come We are not supposed to be a Democracy; we are a Republic with Democratic processes of voting. There are some questions in Section 4 I would have changed, but It will do for now.
