Mr. President, U.S. Needs NEW Constitution

Since extremists; Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, who openly state "I hope Barrack Obama fails" (they don't even call him President) are so synchronized against defeating the nation's 1st Black and 44th American President's agenda, including heath care for children, they promote, at a minimum, racial divisiveness.

Maybe the President should send his Secret Service to pay those guys a friendly visit.

Racial tensions has never been worse since President Johnson predicted that the southern Democrat and the Dixiecrat would switch parties after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1964. Well, they did switch, from Democrat to Republican.

And sadly, republican governor, Richard "Rick" Perry, he's governor to at least the first Tuesday in November, publicly supported Succession, succeeding from the union. Mr. Perry knew or should have known that this was a code word for confederacy, slavery, lynchings and Jim Crow. I contend it's the latter.

Hum, did he really mean that or was he running to the far right of the party, racism and bigotry, for the nomination? To be fair, the republican racists and bigots are the democratic equal to the left coast environmentalist wackos. Conveniently, party candidates that prevail in their primaries tend to come toward the middle and claim to be centrist.

And now comes self proclaimed "states' right" proponent, another confederacy like code word, Rep. Louie Gohmert, garnering support to repeal the 17th amendment. Well, congressman, while you're at it, why not repeal the 13th amendment, abolishment of slavery.

This is why America needs a new CONSTITUTION.

"Let's just start all over with a clean sheet of paper," as Senator Lamar Alexander and his republican cohorts rationaled, because "we were not consulted" nor were we invited at the table when the Health Care Bill was written.

Well senator, Blacks, Latinos and Asians were not consulted nor were they invited at the table when the all white, all males wrote the Constitution.

Mr. President, let's have real change, let's have an all inclusive summit and let's draft a NEW U.S. Constitution.
