Online Poll - connecting the
dots. Was Lincoln Wrong? Surprising Update!
Update: December 31, 2007 - Counting Washington City - 29
States have voted Yes.
A majority of Americans today
agree that the federal government is out of control and
increasingly represents special interests rather than the
citizens. A majority of Americans agree that we are losing our
Founding Principles at an increasing rate,
At some point, American citizens are going to start asking the
question:
"Why?"
The federal government is out of control because the system of
checks and balances established by our Founding Fathers was
eliminated. The balances - the three branches of the federal
government was intended to keep one branch from totally dominating
the other two. More or less this is still in place and works to
some extent.
But the checks on the federal government were eliminated at
Appomattox, destroyed the war that Lincoln forced upon the
country. Our Founding Fathers considered the States to be the
check on the federal government, to force it to abide by the
Constitution. But the ability of the States to restrain or be a
check on the federal government was the loser in the War of
Southern Independence.
