The United States was founded on a Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights. All of these founding documents seem to have been swept aside, or manipulated for something less honorable. Criminal elements and activities are occurring within the federal and state governments. As a manner of appeasing the public; occasionally someone goes to jail from inside the government.
On December 4, 2010 Robert T. Schofield, a supervisor in Homeland Security is arrested in his office in Fairfax, Va. He’s charged with accepting $8.1 million in bribes for selling green cards to illegal Asians. It was also reported his arrest included an additional $600k in bribes for selling fraudulent citizenship documents. It was reported his superiors ignored his activities, while promoting him up the latter. Was he arrested as an example? Was he the “red meat” thrown to the public - taking the eye off of others involved in similar illegal acts? This is not an isolated incident.
On October 27, 2006, Jimmie Ortega was arrested for selling 60 phony citizenships priced from $1,500 up to $4,000 each. Mr. Ortega was an employee of INS – A Federal Government Agency. His offenses did not occur over night.

Problems are not only in government. Bradley Birkenfield reported to prison on January 8, 2010. His offense and conviction came as a result of helping his clients conceal millions of dollars in offshore accounts. His acts restricted the IRS ability to steal money they did not earn or deserve.
Mr. Birkenfield actions included being the “WHISTLE BLOWER” on the actions of UBS, a Swiss Bank. The Swiss paid $780 million in fines and turned over 4,450 suspected tax dodgers. However, accountability to tax payers is something the Federal Government has repeatedly failed to do. Was this punishment for blowing the whistle?

Progressive minded individuals and organizations have mastered the art of talking out both sides of their mouth. One such double talker is the ACLU.
The U. S. Patriot Act came to life weeks after the attack on the World Trade Center Towers. The sitting Congress became suddenly very patriotic. They quickly passed laws opening legal doors to find any and all terrorist in the United States. Today the Patriot Act is being used to spy and bully ordinary citizens who oppose more government intrusions. Was this a patriotic move by Congress? Maybe not.
Patriot Act Section (213) allows the search and gathering of information on American Citizens. Under the Patriot Act, the government can search private property without property owners’ knowledge or consent. The government can search and gather information from an individuals financial records, medical records, internet usage, bookstore purchases, library usage, travel patterns, and any other activity that leaves a record. This is extending the scope of the 4th amendment.
In this situation, the ACLU is doing something good but, don’t be fooled. They have done plenty against freedom and liberty.

A brief examination of state and federal laws would indicate it’s illegal to do nearly everything conceivable. These laws, ordnances, and statutes were written and passed into law by elected and unelected people working in different agency and branches of government. A closer focus on the activities of the Federal, State, and Local Governments require the people’s protections of liberty and freedom. Governments function for their own good. God Bless America.
