PORTLAND, Oregon - May 25, 2009 - Looking like something out of a Venezuelan newspaper, illegitimate President Barack Obama is unconstitutionally seizing businesses all over the nation.

In Melbourne, Florida, Dodge-Isuzu dealership owner George Joseph has lost his automobile franchise. Sunshine Dodge, his dealership, has been a family business for 35 years, one in which he is a second-generation manager. He has had to let his 50 employees know that this successful dealership has been summarily ripped from him, and as of June 9th he will no longer be a Dodge dealer.

Let’s stress here that Mr. Joseph will get absolutely no compensation. He will have to sell his inventory without the benefit of factory incentives, an inventory of over a million dollars. He has, at the request of Chrysler, remodeled his dealership, incurring a multimillion-dollar debt, for which he will also not be compensated. He has a service department that will no longer be able to do warranty service work, and he can’t sell all those new cars as new. Then there is the 300,000-dollar inventory in the parts department with which he is saddled. In a brief phone call, Sunshine Dodge did confirm that they are losing the dealership.

It is happening in Amerika, and is no different than Hugo Chavez seizing Amerikan owned oil platforms operating in the waters off Venezuela.

In a Canada Free Press article today, another dealership in Long Island, New York is facing the exact same seizure. Jim Anderer’s Chrysler dealership has been stolen from him. No sound explanation has been given; the government is simply stealing his dealership.

This is not an issue isolated on the east coast, here in Portland, Timberline Dodge is being forced to sell its inventory as the government once again has stolen their dealership franchise. Their website states, “What can you do to stop government closure of a privately owned business?” Indeed, what can you do?

Think of this for a moment: your private dentist or doctor has been treating you for ten years, when along comes that warm fuzzy sounding “health insurance for everyone”, whereby the government comes into your dentist’s or doctor’s office and tells them, you must now practice out of this facility under this agency or you must stop practicing medicine/dentistry, thereby forcing the closure of their private businesses.

The federal government is acting in a blatantly unconstitutional manner, and no one seems to be talking about it. The silence in the mainstream media is nothing short of thundering. The government is seizing private businesses, and this is just the start.

Is this the hope and change for which you voted? Government seizing private businesses? This is not hope. It’s the wanton destruction of the very thing that makes us a free people, the Constitution for the United States. It is change however… and it is looking like those states who are even now asserting their 10th Amendment rights are right on the money. “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” The federal government has zero authority to do what it is doing. None whatsoever.

If the fed and the criminal Obama get away with this, then what’s next?

Any darned thing it wants.

Be afraid, this is the very tyranny the people who created the united States of America and freed the colonies from British rule feared for us. This is no joke. The seriousness of what is happening is impossible to understate. The colonial war started because of far less tyranny than this... the road to the Revolutionary War was paved with indiscretions LESS than what the illegitimate Obama regime is doing today.

Ed. Note: When is enough, enough? Revolution Now! Independence Forever!
