HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!! 

Personal FAVOR... I ask that today you send this email to all of your friends. 

This past week I was working the Primary Polls and it was so clear how little, our past few generations, understand and know about our election process, government and structure.  Education is the key to understanding what is going on.  We are never too old to learn or to find clarity in topics glossed over in our youth.  

SCOTUS gave us two CRAZY weeks!

What a lead up to this holiday weekend that explicitly celebrates our Declaration of Independence.  The birth of our nation.

The past two weeks were filled with the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States of America handing down momentous decisions that bring back the primacy of our Constitution.

For far too long, agencies, courts and DA's acted as if our Constitution is negotiable.  I have heard many times over the past two years, that the Constitution is dead.  

My response has always been, it is not dead yet.  When I see it ripped up and torn down then it is dead, in the meantime I will fight for the constitutional rights for every single child and parent.

From June 20th through July 1, SCOTUS was on FIRE!!!  There is always more to the decision than what is presented for public consumption and knee-jerk reaction to the decision.  Analyzing these decisions, while taking the politics and reactionary opinions out of it, leads us back to the Constitution and safeguarding of our Rights:

1) SCOTUS Decision to overturn NYS conceal carry law based on its violation of the 2nd Amendment and Constitution.

2) SCOTUS Decision to allow a coach to kneel and pray at a football game. The decision has been conflated by the opposition stating it would force (it does not force prayer in schools), but it allows for FREEDOM of Religion.  We are always free to independently pray where ever we are, even in a school. 

3) SCOTUS reversal on Roe V Wade.  The decision brought this back to the STATES. Why? The 10th Amendment is STATES RIGHTS.  The founding fathers truly covered everything in the Constitution, because the States were fearful of a tyrannical government returning one day, like the Royal Monarchy they were fighting to break free from.  They left the 10th Amendment open for the States to decide for themselves on matters NOT covered in the Constitution.  Roe V. Wade, however controversial, is left to the States.  

BUT THE BIGGEST DECISION, AFFECTING THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT STRUCTURE, WILL BE THE EPA CASE... 

4) SCOTUS Decision on EPA (Environmental Protection Act).  In summary, the SCOTUS decided that unelected officials of bureaucratic agencies CANNOT create laws or mandates that look like law to the public.  These three letter agencies, if substituted out, would include the CDC, the DOH, the HHS, the DEC and so on.  The decision is not just about West Virginia V. EPA and the content of the case, it is the merits and the process of how the EPA has used their unelected status to find loop holes and rule through regulation.  THIS also will eliminate any and all EXECUTIVE ORDERS, even PRESIDENTIAL.  

Our Constitution does not allow for laws to be made outside of the Legislative branch.  This will swing everything back.  

The way in which we have been ruled not just in COVID (COVID only lifted the curtain for us to understand and see it), has been and remains illegal -- and it was always unconstitutional.  

In NYS we have ben fighting against the illegal, and quite frankly make believe mandates, since 2020.  Starting from the graduations, to losing your jobs, or being denied an education, or denied access due to your vax status... all of this has been under illegal actions.  Ruling through regulation made life very easy for those elected officials to get what they wanted implemented without accountability to the voters, and they knew that they would not be able to pass it through the Legislative branch.  

This also brings back the education of the function of the three branches of our Government.  

SO, a lot to digest, but it is imperative for people to look at the 30,000 foot point of view at times and see how all of these events and decisions connect and fit like pieces of a puzzle.  It will take lawsuit and time for our state to fully swing back but at least now, they have the SCOTUS decisions to use as precedent.

Enjoy the Fourth and never stop fighting for our country, our individual freedoms and civil liberties, and for our children.
