Since the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America, there have been many other signings that have had great impact to the country…<\/p>\n

One “category” of signings that come up time and again\u00a0is the kind that expand government. Some examples:<\/p>\n

Woodrow Wilson’s Federal Reserve…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

FDR’s “New Deal”…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Numbers 30:14b
\n… he confirms them (vows and\/or agreements), because he made no response…<\/em><\/p>\n

Here in our day and age, we see public disapproval of Congress, but these very same voters are apethetic come Election Day.<\/p>\n
