OT, update on H.R. 2655 - The Separation of Powers Restoration Act

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Given the number of political posts since Klinton's State of the Union address, as well as his more recent address at the World Economic Forum (info on this recent speach is at their website www.weforum.org), I'm posting an e-mail I received today so folks can spy on the legislators' standing on the important issue of Klinton's using executive orders to make his own laws, bypassing the House.

Remember 5th grade social studies taught us the House was suppose to make laws, and the president enforce them? Well this HR 2655 addresses a significant loop hole.

===============================

On behalf of the Liberty Study Committee, I thank you for writing your U.S. representative about H.R. 2655 - The Separation of Powers Restoration Act that was submitted to the U.S. House on July 30, 1999 by Congressman Ron Paul and Congressman Jack Metcalf.

Due to your efforts and the efforts of 21,332 other Americans during the last several months, H.R. 2655 now has 29 co-sponsors! Two sets of hearings on executive orders were held in the House last October. Last month, Congressman Ron Paul appeared on 15 radio talk shows from coast to coast talking about executive orders and H.R. 2655.

Phase II is now underway. The Liberty Study Committee asks for your help again:

1. Review the updated information on the home page of http://www.executiveorders.org which includes testimony given at two congressional hearings. Three of Congressman Ron Paul's radio interviews are featured on the media page.

2. See if your U.S. representative is one of the 29 co-sponsors of H.R. 2655 by clicking on http://www.executiveorders.org/co-sponsors.

3. If your representative has not signed on H.R. 2655, please send him another message urging him to become a co-sponsor. If your representative has signed on, please send him a message of thanks. Please go to the home page of http://www.executiveorders.org to send your message.

4. Please tell your friends about H.R. 2655.

Congress is back in session. Our goal is to double the number of co-sponsors to 58 by April 1. We've picked April 1 because we want to tell our national government that we won't be fooled anymore.

Thanks again for your help!

Kent Snyder Executive Director Liberty Study Committee http://www.libertystudy.org
