NEVER TOLERATE TYRANNY!....Conservative voices from the GRASSROOTS.

The Power of the Purse: Who should ultimately have it...the Executive, the Congress, or the PEOPLE

ITS OUR MONEY, NOT THEIRS

....according to the U.S. CONSTITUTION:

In the federal government of the United States, the power of the purse is vested in the Congress as laid down in the Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 (the Appropriations Clause) and Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 (the Taxing and Spending Clause).

The power of the purse plays a critical role in the relationship of the United States Congress and the President of the United States, and has been the main historic tool by which Congress can limit executive power.

One of the most prominent examples is the Foreign Assistance Act of 1974, which eliminated all military funding for the government of South Vietnam and thereby ended the Vietnam War.

Our Constitution implicitly recognizes

that, ultimately, the Power of the Purse

belongs with WE, the PEOPLE...

...shouldn't We, the People have the ultimate power to BOYCOTT a criminally corrupt, tyrannical government?

FROM THE Declaration of the INDEPENDENTS:

"...Repeal of the oppressive Income Tax and replacement of same with a National Sales Tax

on goods and services, to be proscribed by statute only, as the first order of business at commencement of each two year session of congress, at a rate not to exceed ten percent; "

Lois Lerner Tried To Block Supervisor’s Visit Because She Feared Targeting Would Be Exposed

U.S. Director of Exempt Organizations for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Lois Lerner is sworn in to testify before a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on alleged targeting of political groups seeking tax-exempt status from by the IRS, on Capitol Hill in Washington May 22, 2013. Lerner, the IRS official who this month revealed the tax agency

Former IRS official Lois Lerner tried to block an IRS supervisor’s visit to the Cincinnati office that she oversaw during the period in which her division was targeting conservative groups.

Lerner made clear that she didn’t want the official talking to employees involved in early congressional and inspector general probes into the “c4″ business, according to newly unearthed emails.

As The Daily Caller extensively reported, Lerner and her underling Nikole Flax unveiled the new program of nonprofit scrutiny at a 2010 conference of government workers at Washington’s Grand Hyatt hotel. IRS officials obtained donor lists for a “secret research project” that was approved by then-IRS commissioner Steven T. Miller. Lerner provided confidential taxpayer information on a conservative group to senior White House adviser Jeanne Lambrew.

Lerner wanted to stop people from poking around, according to an April 4, 2012 email uncovered by Judicial Watch, which is suing the IRS for information.

“We just go[t] an very extensive information request from Imraan [Khakoo, an IRS official] –sure looks like op review material. I’m especially concerned that information about pipeline is being asked about … Add to that the fact tha cincinnati is smack dab in the middle of the c4 Congressional inqueries and is about to get a request from TIGTA on all of that, this is NOT a good time to be asking them for anything or to be talking to them about issue in their work. Everyone is stressed to the max and at their wits end, so can we put this off please?” Lerner wrote to her IRS supervisor Joseph Grant.

“It is a visit, not an OP review … I am also interested in the questions Imraan sent to them. Some answers should be readily at hand. Others certainly won’t be,” Grant replied. “The questions just serve as a framework for a broader conversation about how things are going and what is on our respective minds.”

Lerner continued to try to stop the visit.

“I get that–but timing would be bad if we have to go to Cincy now. So, I will assume we can go over this here as I get the information I’ve already asked for? Thanks.”

Comment by PHILIP SCHNEIDER on January 14, 2015 at 8:25pm: Our fore fathers couldn't have envisioned our nation being so corrupted that it no longer adhered to the constitution,

A disconnect now exists between our representatives and We the People.

We no longer control our own government. We need to reboot some parts of the constitution which will give control back to We the People.

But how do we do that when we no longer have control?

We're talking article V convention as a peaceful means of writing changes but in my mind I'm thinking it'll require more of a revolution.
