Government Regulatory Reform

A tactic supported by some in Congress and the President and by ideological leaders of government agencies and commissions is to bypass Congress, the courts and voters by mandating federal regulations as if they were laws actually passed by Congress.

The Obama administration has ratcheted up this tactic by appointing an unprecedented number of Czars who were not screened and confirmed by the Senate. Several Obama appointees are known communists and are enemies of our Constitutional form of government. They seek ways to undermine and weaken it. Subverting the legislative process by dictating regulations on the people, businesses and the public is extremely dangerous to the survival of the Republic and our individual liberties. Recent examples are the TSA pat downs, the FCC net neutrality, the EPA cap and trade regulations and the Energy Departments threat to impose government control over the energy use in our homes. It is imperative that regulatory reforms be put in place as a high priority by the 2011 Congress.

A suggested important remedy for regulatory abuse is to assign a new commission which, as an example, can be named the Constitutional Regulation Verification Commission (CRVC) whose mission, as the name implies, would be to monitor unconstitutional regulations. All regulations proposed by a government agency or commission shall first be reviewed by the CRVC. Under no circumstances can a government agency or commission have the authority to enforce regulations without the approval of the CRVC.

For existing regulations the CRVC should review charges filed by any person fairly and accurately who is being compelled by a government agency or commission to obey a regulation that he/she feels is unconstitutional.

Should the CRVC find that a regulation(s) does not meet Constitutional muster they shall attempt to settle the charge but if unsuccessful shall have the authority to file a lawsuit to protect the right of individuals and the interest of the public. The CRVC shall present their findings to Congress who has the power to prevent unconstitutional regulations from being enacted.

Charges can be filed by an individual against any government agency, commission, business or institution that attempts to enforce unconstitutional regulations on individuals, businesses and the public. Any agency administrative representative(s) who willfully attempts to use a government commission or agency to impose unconstitutional regulations on an individual or to the public shall be prosecuted and the regulatory program shall be immediately de-funded by Congress.

Regulation reform must be a high priority for the incoming Congress. The people must be protected against any and all forms of tyranny. We cannot allow  commission or agency administrators to impose unconstitutional regulations on individuals, businesses or the public based on their ideology and not based on law passed by Congress.                                                                                         A check is necessary to make sure that commission and agency administrators cannot make unlawful regulations and to stay within strict compliance with the Constitution.
