The Assault on America - Death by Millions of Petty-Bureaucrats

So many of these petty, arrogant bureaucrats have been given the unfortunate and, in too many cases, the task of regulating us with the force of law. This has to be take away from them and placed solely into the task of the legislators. That is their responsibility and why the were elected. It will also severely reduce the number of laws and regulations. That is the purpose of tasking only the legislators with the job of making laws and regulations. It limits them! 

The article here is just one case out of thousands of cases of bureaucratic regulatory abuse at all levels. m/r

Wanted: Alice Miller | The American Spectator


When a federal bureaucrat is a bigger menace than a big government regulation.
By Peter Hannaford – 5.11.15

Who is Alice Miller and what’s she wanted for? She is a Washington bureaucrat and, no, she is not wanted for breaking a federal statute. Rather, she misinterpreted a regulation and, in the process, nullified the laws of two states.

She used the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (passed by Congress and signed by then-President Clinton), which requires state governments to allow a person to automatically register to vote when applying for a driver’s license or social services.

The law requires states to use a registration form designed by a federal office called the Election Assistance Commission; however, states may petition the commission to revise the form to include state qualification laws. Laws in both Kansas and Arizona require registrants to show that they are U.S. citizens in order to qualify to vote. The Obama administration does not like voter qualifications and, presumably, Alice Miller doesn’t either. Her title is “Acting Director” of the Election Assistance Commission. She refused to reprint the forms for Kansas and Arizona to conform to state law, as both had requested.

Alice Miller’s action would have gone unnoticed had it not been for an item published in PJ Media by J. Christian Adams. No doubt she would have preferred anonymity.
