GovTrack.us - H.R. 3166 - Enemy Expatriation Act
This bill currently before congress would give the government the right to revoke a nationals citizenship. In other words, they can take away your citizenship even if you were born here to two parents who were citizens and also born here. This is unconstitutional, plain and simple; but, lets consider what it might mean.
What happens if you lose your citizenship and do not hold citizenship in another country, what rights do you have at that point? Well, obviously you don't get to vote and perhaps you wouldn't even have a right to work. It also means that you would not be entitled to your constitutional rights. Basically, you would have all the rights of an illegal alien. Maybe people should have thought a lot harder about which rights illegal aliens should have.
How does one take away another's "inalienable" rights? How does that become constitutional? You matter, no matter what they say, no matter what the law, you matter and I matter. The moment your government says you don't matter, it doesn't deserve your respect. Peace.

Medical Madness and Your Rights
Here is an interesting article from the American Medical Association Journal of Ethics - Should Participation in Vaccine Clinical Trials be Mandated?
The authors argue that it would be okay to force people to participate in clinical trials of vaccines and we are not talking about soldiers or felons. They also make the claim that paying people as an incentive is wrong because the trials fall on the poor. If you read my last post you might begin to see where all of this is going.
What will the price tag be to receive medical treatment in the future in the United States, what rights will you have to give up? Perhaps you will need to donate your organs to science, perhaps you will need to participate in vaccine trials or even be required to be vaccinated before receiving treatment. This could go down in a lot of different ways; but, they all come down to you as an individual ceasing to be important.
