Return to original

Published: Monday, July 6 2009 12:11 a.m. MDT

The original independence was from an oppressive government. Our forefathers devised a Constitution that should have given us certain controls over our government officials called "separation of powers," with most decisions being left to the "people" or the "states."

Much has been said about convening a Constitutional Convention for the purpose of reining in our federal officials. What we really need is a return to our original Constitution (with amendments already ratified) and the removal from office any who would subvert it.
