First, I would like to comment that our country was originally a "Constitutional Republic" not a "Constitutional Democracy"!  Since each of our states are no longer Sovereign it has been a distinct disadvantage to maintaining local control of our government.  In the matter of the JTFF the local police force (including the Sheriff of that county) should always be in tandem with the information and plans of that force and any other federal agency acting in our jurisdiction.  Attorneys who are "clerks of the Federal Court" not the "Constitutional Court" need not be informed untill such time as the action is challenged after the fact.

Section 10 of "The Bill of Rights" states: Rights reserved to the States and the People.  The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Through Unconstituional Amendments and Exective Orders we are now a country in extreme stress.  We The People have been divided and are ripe for the fall.  

For God and Country

Having a credit card for a limit of $1,800.00 was a priveledge for me as a senior citizen.  My complaint was that the credit card company can allow you a 9.9 % rate for a cash draw and then accidently I missed my payment date by 2 days. Consequently they charged me $59.00 late fee then raised my interest rate to 24%.  The late charge I understand.  Double penalty to me is entrapment .  I am now retired.  When this happened three years ago I cut my card up and returned it.  I now pay the finance charge and my payment each time a payment is made.  In another 8 months it will be payed in full.  The interest payed is equal to the original amount owed.  I believe these companies should be held to limits on their services in regards to fees charged.
