Don’t be a lemming

Dear Editor:

There are numerous comments floating around that we have lost our country as we knew it or are in the process of doing so. Think about this: The U.S. Constitution and federal courts are no longer viable concerns.

Just examine the recent executive orders from the White House.Just about every concern that would require a congressional or judicial decree has been bypassed by an executive order. Does this mean "Let the King rule!"? Heaven forbid, please.

Some are insinuating that the current administration is the cause of this. If history is examined you will find that for at least the last 50 years or more (and other isolated cases before that), executive orders have been issued by nearly every president, regardless of party. Just a gradual taking control by the executive branch and it is now climaxing.

I have been classed as an extreme radical for my thoughts but here are some anyhow. I say let's go back to the late 1700s and start all over with the original intent of our Constitution and amendments. Throw ALL of the rascals out regardless of party and start afresh with stricter controls on our elected officials. Nullify and void numerous and various laws/regulations that have helped cause such a mess. Radical thoughts, yes, but we have to do something.

Realistically what can we do? Vote intelligently and not be a lemming.
