A Catechism

God in his infinite wisdom, created Archangels, Angels, Spirits and other heavenly beings to assist Him. Among the Archangels were Lucifer, Michael and Gabriel. All Angels were created good and holy, but Lucifer, The Chief Worship Angel, decided to exalt himself and led a rebellion in Heaven against God (Ezek. 2813-15; Is 14: 12-14). Lucifer and his angels were cast out of Heaven and became Satan and his evil spirits.

Satan carries on his nefarious activities with the full knowledge of God. These activities form the temptations humans are supposed to resist. Many humans have not fully accepted God’s admonitions against bad behavior, therefore they continue to sin, adhering to Satan and rejecting God. Are these maladjusted humans simply bereft of their moral responsibility or are they honestly unaware of Satan’s duplicity? Satan’s primary objective is to lead God’s gullible creatures into sin.

God chooses to permit Satan to entice the sinners into his realm where he hopes to sometime dominate and replace God. Satan’s mission is to become a god and to be worshipped. God, by allowing Satan to exist gives us a chance to choose. We can choose that which is acceptable to God or that which Satan offers. Once we accept Satan’s offering, Satan deceives us into sin and rather than instantly repent, we ask, “Why does God permit this to happen?”

What does all this mean to us today? In our first years as a nation, we were all Protestant Christians; religion and religious worship were as essential as food and water. Every town hall meeting, every state legislature and our federal legislature began with a prayer to almighty God to lead us down the path of righteousness and protect our nation. For some reason, prayer became lost and the Pledge of Allegiance was substituted. The Pledge of Allegiance should be recited and the Prayers to our creator and benefactor should precede all such gatherings.

Congress still begins every day with a prayer but it all seems rather perfunctory, lacking sincerity and intent. If the actions of Congress are any indicator, the Prayer has virtually no significance nor does it dissuade many of our elected servants from following the works of Satan. All members take a solemn oath to perform their duties in accordance with the Constitution of the United States, ask for Divine guidance and proceed to act as their pocketbook dictates. Far too many of our elected representatives have fallen under the spell of bribes, favors, and the false notion that they are invincible and invulnerable.

A few case in point; Senator William Blount of Tennessee, Senator Robert Packwood, Senator Harrison A, Williams, Representatives Randall “Duke” Cunningham, Charles Rangel, Maxine Waters, James A, Traficant and Michael Myers. There were a few others convicted of treason because of their standing with their State, which had seceded during the Civil War. This is not a very strong case for self-governing.

There are four punishments available to Congress: Expulsion, Censure, Reprimand, and suspension.

A careful examination of the history of self-rule by our Congress leaves much to be desired. A primary obligation of the Congress is to draw up articles of impeachment against any government. The right to impeach public officials is secured by the U.S. Constitution in Article I, Sections 2 and 3, which discuss the procedure, and in Article II, Section 4, which indicates the grounds for impeachment: “[t]he President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Removing an official from office requires two steps: (1) a formal accusation, or impeachment, by the House of Representatives, and (2) a trial and conviction by the Senate. Impeachment requires a majority vote of the House; conviction is more difficult, requiring a two-thirds vote by the Senate. Read more: Impeachment History – Infoplease.com

The 111th and the 112th Congresses have been criticized as “the worst” in many polls, yet only two Representatives have come under official scrutiny, Rangel and Waters. Among the offenses committed is “Failure to carry out the Oath of Office.” This was done by President Barack Hussein Obama and by his Attorney General, Eric Holder. Specifically both have announced that they would not carry out the law expressed in the “Defense of Marriage Act.” That should have brought immediate action by the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. Whether or not the trial following from an impeachment would be a conviction, is problematical. This does not mitigate in favor of the House of Representatives failure to act.

A further instance occurred when President Obama lied about the existence of his birth certificate. His multiple and repeated lie(s) constitute a crime in the category of “High crimes and misdemeanors.” At the very least his lies are indirect violation of, “Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001 makes it a crime to: 1) knowingly and willfully; 2) make any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation; 3) in any matter within the jurisdiction of the executive, legislative or judicial branch of the United States. Your lie does not even have to be made directly to an employee of the national government as long as it is "within the jurisdiction” of the ever expanding federal bureaucracy.“ http://library.findlaw.com/2004/May/11/147945.html

President Obama violated his Oath of Office when he knowingly failed to provide aid to The Sovereign State of Arizona as it was being invaded by aliens from South of its border.

President Obama, a self-proclaimed Constitutional Lawyer, declared SB 1070, a legal document of the sovereign State of Arizona, to be unlawful, when, in fact, The Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section 10, paragraph 3 explicitly permit’s a sovereign state to "engage in War” when actually invaded and the danger is imminent.

President Obama, as an extension of the instance above cited, did commit an act of treason by giving aid and comfort to foreign entities by soliciting them to join him in litigation against the sovereign State of Arizona, thus subjecting said state and its Governor to ridicule and further encroachment by illegal aliens.

President Obama did on or about March 21, 2011 and without discussion with the United States Congress, dispatch American forces to attack the Sovereign Nation of Libya resulting in the death of Libyan nationals. Mr. Obama had absolutely no authority to carry out such an action. His actions are those of an emperor not those of an American President who must abide by our laws.

The United States Congress in respect to the instances cited above failed in its constitutional responsibilities. First, The Congress was obligated to order American forces to cease and desist simply because the Congress had not been consulted and because the President is NOT authorized to initiate a war. Such authority is expressly delegated to Congress. Second, President Obama’s callous disregard for United States Law should have resulted in a clarion call for his impeachment.

In conclusion, John Boehner as The titular head of the majority in the House of Representatives and Speaker of that body is and has been derelict in the performance of his responsibilities. He is therefore obliged to step aside and ask for a new election to his leadership position. America dare not allow the adherents to self-indulgence and defiance of our Judeo-Christian ethics to circumvent not only our laws but also our very beliefs. Short of an insurrection, the 112th Congress has a major responsibility to We the People.
