Hear John Bonifaz ohn Bonifaz on the "Failure of Government:
The War Powers Clause and the Constitution Today", taped on Staten Island on
August 30th during the Republican National Convention.

Audio of his talk and the discussion session are available as both mp3 (for
broadband download and replay by radio) and as RealAudio for slower
connections. 

"This is about members of Congress, Democrats and Republicans, colluding
with the President to violate the Constitution. ... They are as complicit
(as the President) and their complicity began with their act to hand over to
the President this decision-making power, and it continued with the
President marching us into this illegal war, with the judiciary refusing to
intervene.²

He spoke at the New York Public Library, St. George Library Center on Staten
Island, as part of the My Daily Consitution series at 8 NYC public libraries
over 6 days. L.A. artist Linda Pollack organized the series and served as
moderator for Bonifaz's talk and discussion.
