Harry Reid Must Be Deposed

Posted: January 14, 2013

 Our federal government has long been in opposition to dictatorships throughout the world. A dictator is defined as one who exercises, or in whom is vested, supreme authority in a state.

It is apparently time to look closer to home, in Washington, D.C., to depose by legal and peaceful means, if not by the ballot box, one who exercises dictatorial control over Congress.

Harry Reid, majority leader of the U.S. Senate, regularly refuses to allow Senate consideration of legislation passed by the U.S. House. He even does not respect the members of his own party, denying them the opportunity to consider proposed legislation unless he personally approves of the measure. Of such is the exercise of supreme authority over a duly elected government.

In the meantime, there is a continuing decline in the citizen respect of Congress and their ability to represent us.
