What happened to “by the people, for the people”? The citizenry is over taxed, underemployed and fed up with federal spending. What happens if the stimulus package and bailouts fail, and President Obama calls for more spending? Is this taxation without representation? What should we do about it?
Mike Lieber is calling for a new constitutional convention. He believes that the government created by America’s founders works. But there is wide chasm between our current government and the one the founders outlined in the U.S. Constitution. Those sworn to uphold it now routinely violate it. Lieber’s answer? It’s time to revise the Constitution. Lieber will engage the audience with provocative questions, such as:
• If we rewrite the Constitution, what should be added? Deleted? Revised and clarified? Federal spending limits? Immigration? Social issues like gay marriage?
• Should the Constitution limit spending and borrowing to protect future generations?
• Who should have the power to deploy U.S. troops? Congress? The president?
• George Washington was as popular a president as Barack Obama, but he limited his own power. Is the presidency now a monarchy? Has the federal government become tyrannical?
More than 24 states have introduced sovereignty resolutions under the 10th amendment. Should the powers be rebalanced?
CREDENTIALS: Mike Lieber holds a master’s degree in political science. He served in the United States Army for over 11 years, as an enlisted man and an officer. INCEPTION is the first of his three Ops Populi novels.
