My open letter
Dear Mr. President, Members of Congress, Cabinet Members, Members of the Federal Courts:
It has come to our attention while observing your decisions for my government that you may not fully understand our constitutional system. Thus, I am writing to bring to your attention several features of our Constitution—the preamble, the power to elect you or have you nominated & confirmed by people we elect.
First, under our Constitution, while the president enacts laws, Congress writes the law. Judicial system interpets the law.
We. Elect. You.
Second, the offices of our Constitution have different characteristics. For example, the president may serve only two 4-year terms, whereas senators may serve an unlimited number of 6-year terms. As applied today, for instance, President Obama will leave office in January 2017, while most of us will remain in office well beyond then—perhaps decades.
We can start voting at 18.
What these three constitutional provisions mean is that we will consider all actions approved by the Congress. We could modify the terms of the service on the 1st Tuesday of November in even years.
I hope this letter enriches your knowledge of our constitutional system and promotes mutual understanding and clarity as The United States progresses.
Sincerely,
Vernon J
Voter from Nebraska.

Redefining marriage could prove perilous
There have been numerous discussions lately arguing justifications for same-sex marriage and disputing the authority of government entities to define marriage as solely the union of one man and one woman. I find it interesting that all of these arguments address only laws regarding the union of two individuals of the same sex and completely ignore laws dealing with bigamous and polygamous relationships.
If civil law is to be changed such that “marriage” is whatever the participants wish it to be, then shouldn’t acceptance of same-sex marriage be accompanied by an equal acceptance of bigamy and polygamy?

What do you have going on.

Raise them up right
“When children are seen by their parents as being more special and more entitled than other children, they may internalize the view that they are superior individuals, a view that is at the core of narcissism,” the researchers wrote in a study released online Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. “But when children are treated by their parents with affection and appreciation, they may internalize the view that they are valuable individuals, a view that is at the core of self-esteem.”
Bring Them
If they can’t get to work, they can’t get to work. So PayPal & Goodwill Omaha will bring them. Thanks for being innovative.
