Re: Corruption / H.R. 4219, the National Commission
Gentlemen:
Last week, news broke regarding the fraudulent information discovered on President Obama's newly created web site Recovery.gov. The Obama administration claimed it created jobs at companies that did not exist, in congressional districts that did not exist, with employees that did not exist.
Congressman Jeff Miller stated, “In my home state of Florida 52 jobs were created in the 34th Congressional District, according to the Recovery.gov website. 46 jobs were created in District 00. We all know now that these districts simply don’t exist. How can the Administration expect us to trust their dubious jobs numbers when they can’t even manage their own website? We need an audit of this spending immediately.”
Mark Souder is on record as saying, “Not only has the stimulus failed in its goal of reining in rising unemployment, the published report tracking the funds revealed imprecise statistics, nonexistent congressional districts and significantly overstated the number of jobs created. I am pleased to join Congressman Joe Wilson on this important legislation to put an end to this unaccountable stimulus spending spree. During this time of economic recession, Hoosier taxpayers deserve to know where and how their dollars are being spent.”
These congressmen point to a part of the stimulus legislation that calls for an investigation in order to determine the effectiveness of this multi-billion dollar spending spree.
H.R. 4219, the National Commission on American Recovery and Reinvestment Act will create a ten member panel, appointed by the President and Democrat and Republican leaders in the House and Senate, will investigate how many jobs have actually been saved or created by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-5); the circumstances in which those jobs have been saved or created; and, the effectiveness of measures taken to prevent the improper payment of funds.
Following the investigation, the Commission will make recommendations on what changes could be made to save or create more jobs and what steps can be taken to prevent the improper allocation of taxpayer dollars.
Note: As elected officials, we expect you to uphold your solemn duty to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America, as so elected and sworn. Any elected official who fails to follow the above request for transparency and accountability with regard to this and any legislation will forfeit my future support and gain a motivated opponent.
Article 2, Sect. 4 of our Constitution states:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
When will our elected officials stand up and demand the provisions of the Constitution to which their oath of office is to preserve, protect and defend, be upheld, and begin redress of such grievances as described above ? It is past time for resolutions and recommendations, and time for action. Our nation's future hangs in the balance.
While we are willing to operate on the basis of faith over experience for a while, we are not fools. We wish for a peaceful return to organic constitutional principles. As sovereign citizens of this Constitutional Republic, and by the powers delegated to you, our elected officials, immediate action is hereby requested to ensure the rights and freedoms of your constituency be restored.
Respectfully,
