WASHINGTON – The whole world witnessed the unconstitutional shenanigans of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last Sunday, says WND Editor and Chief Executive Officer Joseph Farah.
"Complicit with Barack Obama and Senate majority leader Harry Reid, she squeaked through the House the most sweeping, illegal, anti-American legislation in the history of the republic – the so-called 'health-care reform' bill," he said. "Now it's time to let Obama, Pelosi and Reid know why their actions are illegitimate and will not be tolerated, accepted, nor obeyed by the people."
Farah's solution is to send them copies of the clearly written, easily understood, 223-year-old law of the land – the Constitution.
Farah has made it easy and inexpensive to do just that – ensure delivery of a handsome, complete, bound copy of the Constitution along with an individually addressed letter to each with your name on it.

It's the "Send the Constitution" program, and already more than 7,500 copies of the Constitution have been delivered in just a few weeks.
Farah said the program was inspired by his reckoning that the common denominator in the federal government's overreaching and destruction of the economy and individual liberties is that all of its actions are violations of the Constitution.
"What do health care, stimulus bills, bailouts and other abuses have in common?" he asked. "It's very simple. We've got a rogue government that no longer recognizes its strictly limited powers under the Constitution. It's time for a demonstration and an education."
How do you send them the message?

That's what WND's "Send the Constitution" program is all about. For just $9.99, you can send attractive, bound copies of the Constitution to Obama, Pelosi and Reid to their offices by FedEx guaranteed delivery along with individual letters bearing your name and address that explain why they are being sent.
Send our leaders copies of the Constitution today!
"You can argue policy issues all day with Washington, but the fundamental problem facing Americans right now is that our federal officials continue to believe they have unlimited power to do whatever they believe is right," said Farah. "That's why this program is so effective. It deals with the root problem – the unprecedented power grab taking place in Washington."
Farah says there is no more poignant reminder that "most" of what takes place in Washington today is illegal. He says it's a necessary reminder that they are not supermen who can do anything they like.
"This is their Kryptonite," he explains. "Even if they don't read any of these booklets flooding their offices, they are getting the message that we are on to them – that they are far exceeding their constitutional limitations."
"This is their Kryptonite," he explains. "Even if they don't read any of these booklets flooding their offices, they are getting the message that we are on to them – that they are far exceeding their constitutional limitations."
Farah says it's time for some tough love, as expressed in those notes.
"But the love in thousands of parcels already delivered to Washington is in the Constitution itself, which bears a love of liberty by expressing, enforcing and ensuring restrictions on federal intrusions," says Farah. "That includes most of what the Washington power structure is angling to enact. That's why the notes not only advise the esteemed recipients to adhere to the clear limits on federal authority, but also invite them to share copies with their constitutionally challenged colleagues."
In a twist of irony, a top Obama adviser recently endorsed the idea of creating simple "booklets" to explain to the public its policies, such as taking over health care and the auto and banking industries.
"They're the folks who would benefit most from a 'simple booklet,'" said Farah, "and this copy of the Constitution is it."
The copy of the Constitution bears an impressive cover and design. It's beautifully put together, easy to leaf through and will fit snugly in a pocket. You'll want to order a few extra copies for yourself – to educate friends and family members and co-workers. But even in their busy schedules bent on "remaking America," Obama, Pelosi and Reid will find it easy to consult. Reading it won't bog them down, like 2,000-page pieces of legislation they are fond of crafting and signing.
"There's much more at stake than a piece of bad legislation here and there," said Farah, citing his plan to "reconstitutionalize" Washington. "After all, Obama and Pelosi and Reid are doing much more than passing and enacting bad legislation. They are actually overthrowing our constitutional republic. If we don't act, if we don't sound off, if we don't rebel, the damage to America's political institutions could be irreversible."
More than a campaign, Send the Constitution is political demonstration, or, in phraseology Obama, Pelosi and Reid will soon familiarize themselves with, an example of petitioning "the government with a redress of grievances." (See Amendment, First.)
WND's earlier Send Congress a Pink Slip Campaign plopped 9 million pink slips on congressional desks, warning them to start job hunting if they persisted in bankrupting generations of Americans, pursuing legislation based on fraudulent "science," attempting to command control of health care and quashing free speech.
As refreshing as that righteous response proved, this phase II gets back to the basics that America and her leaders can no longer afford to ignore.
"Never before," said Farah, "was seeing this document in Washington more necessary. It's time to flood the Capitol with these powerful words."
