The Revolution is Betrayed

What revolution is that you might ask?  Why the American Revolution.  Surely you remember that?  The Declaration of Independence to which the Founding Fathers pledged  "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor".  And how might you ask are we betrayed?  By that very Congress who has sworn to uphold and defend the Consitution.  By their selfish acts.  By their corruption.  By their very demeanor in claiming that the should be expempt from search and prosecution under the law.  The very law which they have sworn to uphold.

I have been betrayed by Senator McCain of Arizona.
I have been betrayed by the Senate of the United States.
I have been betrayed by the whole of Congress.
And I have been betrayed by the President of the United States.

This is not government "by the people, for the people, and of the people".  It is government by a privileged few acting to  protect their thievery and villany.

The Constitution, Article I, Section 6.
"Section. 6.   The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.  "

This does not protect them from prosecution.  It in fact states quite clearly that 'Felony' is an exception.

As Governor William J. Le Petomane once said "We must protect our phoney baloney jobs!"
