Shock and Awe
September 11th
Used as Catalyst for Assault on Bill Of
Rights?
Lancaster,
PA/ September 11, 2007.
On
the anniversary of the 9-11-2001 attacks, our country’s fastest-growing
political party, the
Constitution Party (Ballot Access News)
encourages Americans to
challenge the actions of the two parties
controlling our government.
“The dreadful
attacks of September 11th were
just the beginning of more attacks against
Americans. The horrific loss of life turned
out to be the justification for both parties
to annihilate the Bill of Rights,” said
Constitution Party National Committee
Chairman Jim Clymer. “As we remember the
victims of September 11th, we do
well to acknowledge the death of many of our
freedoms as well”, Clymer pointed out.“ The
police - state tactics put in place after
September 11th through such blatantly
un-constitutional vehicles as the Patriot
Act mean our government has given itself a
free pass to circumvent the Constitution. In
short, the horrors we ascribe to third world
dictatorships can and are happening here in
the United States”
added Clymer. “We’re witness to U.S.
citizens vanishing into military prisons,
torture becoming acceptable, de facto
martial law, warrant-less wiretapping,
eavesdropping by the government; essentially
carte blanche to jettison every single
freedom that distinguishes us from brutal
dictatorships…all because “it’s war time”.
The
Constitution Party, which is the country’s
largest third party based on voter
registration, (Ballot Access News)
challenges Americans to question the
heavy-handed dictatorial tactics both the
Republicans and Democrats have allowed in
the name of fighting the so-called “war on
terror”.
Unauthorized War
The
Constitution Party reminds Americans that
the incursion into Iraq, presumably
because of the events of 9-11, was based on
false information and is a most egregious
affront to the constitutional mandate that
demands a declaration of war only by
Congress, not the president.
“Keep in mind
the American people voted one party out and
another in because of the distaste for the Iraq war. Both the Republicans and
Democrats supported this war at the outset
and continue to do so. That should speak
volumes about continuing to place confidence
in either of these two parties”, Clymer
noted, further warning Americans: “The time
has come to recognize neither of the major
parties has any intention of following the
Constitution
or telling Americans the truth
about 9-11 and the Iraq war.” |
