The Amish are overlooked in this very critical election, and it is clear to everyone that knows them that their very lifestyle is being destroyed. The fact that all of the candidates can stand by and watch, without concern, as a totally American subculture is being crushed out of existence by over-regulation and unconstitutional measures is unconscionable.
The Department of Homeland Security, the FDA, the USDA, all in their overzealous bureaucratic nightmares, and in their laziness going after the lowest hanging fruit first, have descended on the Amish communities in their thousands with their petty regulations and ‘official government speak’ and are decimating that whole race of Americans.
While the Amish have never been a danger to anyone in any way, now these departments are declaring the Amish a danger requiring extreme measures of RFID Chipping programs, agricultural dictatorship, threats of property seizures and high fines for non-cooperation with unconstitutional laws, and demanding violations of their religious freedoms in order for them to comply.
Only Ron Paul seems to grasp the deadliness of these departments and violations of our constitutions. Only restoring our Constitution will save the Amish community in our midst.
Already the Amish communities have been seeking options to emigrate from America to countries more conducive to the Amish lifestyles and beliefs. They don’t, as yet, understand that THERE IS NOWHERE ELSE TO GO. The North American Union will require the same RFID chips, not only in their animals, but in the people too.
It seems that the Amish will be the first ‘green martyrs’ for their faith, the first who will no longer be able to ‘buy or sell’ because they refuse to take the ‘mark of the beast.’
Who knew it would be America that would be the beast, forcing this chip on everyone?
We must restore the Constitution before it is too late for them, and for us.
