Strengthen the House of Representatives.
By enlarging the House of Representatives according to population, as directed in the constitution, we can truly represent and guard the people in every State of the Union, to assure that our ever stretching Federal Government in every aspect, is conducting itself properly and in the manner the People feel is appropriate.
 The Powerful House of Representatives
James Madison has said of our elected officials, “It is a received and well-founded maxim, that where no other circumstances affect the case, the greater the power is, the shorter ought to be its duration; and, conversely, the smaller the power, the more safely may its duration be protracted.”
The more powerful the office, the more frequent our servants must return for evaluation, approval or disapproval, to be re-seated or un-seated. By this we can recognize what the founders organized as the most pervasive and influential arm over our government.  It is the House of Representatives in Congress, which returns every two years. This portion of Congress is where the power of the people is most exercised to oversee and influence government proceedings, to keep the powers of the Executive and Judicial branches within constitutional guidelines. The tools used by the House, in addition to its part in creating laws, are powerful tools reserved only for the people’s representatives, and the people are to hold their representatives directly accountable for how they use, OR don’t use them when needed. These implements are the “power of the purse” and the power of impeachment.
The neglect and under use of these tools,  “the power of the purse” and impeachment, has allowed our government to grow way out of balance, and it is the people’s fault for allowing it to happen. The Declaration of Independence states, ‘…all Experience hath shewn, that Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed….’ The national enemy of today is our own complacency, ignorance, and departure from governing based upon the original Constitution. This exodus from the Constitution has allowed the people’s controls over our national government to almost disappear, through alienation of the people’s influence in Congress, most importantly, in the House of Representatives.
From the House of Representatives we have suffered:
a.   the massive over sizing of Congressional Districts.
b.   the House to remain at four hundred and thirty-five Representatives for over ninety-six years now, ignoring the Constitution’s directive  to increase Representatives in pace with our national population growth.

  1. failure in overseeing and holding accountable every Executive program, with the Civil officers that administer them, in order that they may answer to the people realistically for tax demands and civil intervention.
  2. failure in keeping our Federal Judges within constitutional boundaries and from legislating from the bench.

e.   failure in overseeing the departments of our national government, to keep the separation of power, the balance of power, and in all other ways to keep the Executive and Judicial branches within Constitutional boundaries.
These abuses of the House have been growing for a long time, but since 1913 they have just exploded. It is one hundred years, as of August the 8th 2011, (recorded in SIXTY-SECOND CONGRESS. Session 1. Chapter 5. Aug 8th 1911) since congress has exercised authority to enlarge the House of Representatives.
Our ancestors were duped, and we are walking in their footsteps.
The failure on our part to recognize and correct these abuses has allowed the spending, the growth, and the conduct of our Federal Government, to slip way out of control. This unnatural change against freedom, is the mother of servitude and a possible bastard tyrant. We have acted in complicity and tolerated the alienation of American citizens from their servants in Congress. The fact that our constitution, battered and torn, still sits enshrined, speaks volumes to the inspiration of its founders. The powers needed to restore our government, are still inherent in the document, but it requires the united effort of the American citizens to turn the keys. The citizens of the United States must stand up together, and be actively involved in order to return to the Founders original formula. We must restore all essential elements of our Constitution that have been altered or undermined. Though we have slept long, the power still remains within our grasp, to restore the people’s control over our federal government, and enjoy the constitution’s intended freedoms.
