What caused the Revolution and brought our current system in the effectiveness we now are appropriating with. Thank Goodness for the Declaration of Dependence by John DeLancey, The First Congress, Second Congress by the DeLancey Faction and their affiliation's and then again a Consitution that bears all representation of what an independent state is all about, protect your right, don't let confusion get in the way again. You are a Legisaltive ready to bring a law into the Legislation to become awarded the act of a Legislature. It starts with you keep it that way and keep looking at the facts that sometimes need to be addressed. It mostly takes one you know to flip a pancake or even turn a Semi Truck around; You can even back one up if your skilled enough. Let your ears be open to the justice you may prevail, because with anything as good as it seems it is going to be explained in full detail. That is what being proad is about amongst other things. Good Night Did you know the Congress goes on for two years this is why we are in our 122th now. This evaluational representation is for the people, this is also why we have representatives that at the age of 25 can levi a tax and propose you opinion. Remember a Legislature holds the act's of law. Congress and its ability assures things are operated correctly. Things can change when you acknowledge a government that can forfill the peoples need. This is why any president can step down within its term. Because of documents which are stated here one can effort themselves in that in which a country needs. If there is a solution per say then automatic staisfaction should be guaranteed. 100 people pay the 1% sales tax as stated in my other post here. The next 100 people just made the dollar worth $2.00. Income tax and sales tax are different taxes. Money isn't everything they say--how true is that? Money for sure is important that's why we use it, perhaps why it is being used instead of the barder system is because there just wasn't enough of something going around. Something new always takes time doesn't. 8:54 p.m. 4-4-11
