When the people fear their government there is tyranny;
when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Thomas Jefferson
Amendment 28 (Suggested):
Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens
of the United States that does not apply equally to the
Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no
law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that
does not apply equally to the citizens of the United
States.
Unfortunately, Congress would not pass a bill by Rep. Ron
Paul which would require any bill to reference the
applicable part of the U.S. Constitution.

Texas Sheriff Application
A man seeking to join a south Texas sheriff's department is
being interviewed.
The Sergeant doing the interview says, "Your qualifications
all look good, but there is an attitude suitability test that
you must take before you can be accepted."
Then, sliding a service pistol across the desk, he says,
"Take this pistol and go out and shoot six illegal aliens,
six meth dealers, six Muslim extremists and a rabbit."
"Why the rabbit?"
"That's the attitude we want," says the Sergeant.
"When can you start?"

USPS Bailout
Surprise! The United States Postal Service is losing money!
Before 1963 first-class postage was $0.04. Since then it has
increased 1100%!
The obvious problems are:
Being a monopoly, there is no competition
Employees are not hired/promoted on merit
Far too many stamp designs are created each year
Many groups - including politicians - are subsidized
A suggestion is to allow competition for first and third-class
mail.
Also sell only "Forever stamps". I am a stamp collector, and I
personally hate the thought. The reality is a hundred designs -
many for political/ideological purposes - per year is wasteful!

Yucca Mountain Fraud
___Yucca Mountain was funded by fees added to utility customers
bills over the years. Both the Federal Government and Nevada
politicians have committed fraud. Only after the $13B had
been spent - with a lot going into Nevada revenues - did the
Nevada politicians develop a NIMBY attitude. I have
recommended that the Federal Government place an interstate
access fee (IAF) on all commerce and travel to Nevada until the
utility customers have been repaid in full. Any vehicle,
airplane, train, etc. trying to enter Nevada would have to
pay the IAF - including tourists. The utility companies have
a valid suit against the Dept of Energy (led by an anti-nuke)
and the State of Nevada on behalf of their customers.

Federal Funding for Abortion
Decades ago Grove City [PA] College's Federal Assistance was
terminated due to their refusal to submit HEW's Assurance
of Compliance with Title IX's nondiscrimination provisions.
Hillsdale [MI] College also refused, but Grove City sued
Bell, the HEW Secretary, all the way to the Supreme Court.
The decision was that even funds received indirectly are
Federal Assistance. This means that an American who
serves in the United States Armed Forces and qualifies for
GI Bill benefits may not use those funds to go to
non-compliant colleges. Neither college was guilty of
discrimination. They refused on principle.
What does this have to do with funding for abortion?
Under the logic of the SCOTUS decision, any woman who
receives a subsidy under the AHCAA Bill may not use that
money to pay for an abortion since Federal funding for
abortion is [hopefully] prohibited.

Obamanomics Doesn't Work
The United States economy shed 190,000 jobs in October,
and the unemployment rate reached a 26-year high of 10.2
percent, up from 9.8 percent in September.
Obamanomics has made several threats to small business.
The Administration wants to equalize income. They will
supposedly keep the Bush tax cuts except for the "rich."
If small businesses file individual rather than corporate
tax returns and make more than $250K in income, then they
will have to pay a surcharge in addition to their income
tax. A value-added-tax was the method of paying for health
care in Dr Zeke Emanuel videos. This is a hidden tax on
all consumers - including the 95% that were not to get a
tax increase. An additional tax on insurance companies and
mandatory employer-provided health insurance will have the
same effect. The "cap and trade" bill provides taxpayer money
to minority and female-owned businesses. This "energy" bill
is just a racist, sexist vehicle for Affirmative Action.
The bill is also anti-business since total expenses will be
increased for businesses. Additional expenses have increased
for businesses which hire low wage individuals since Congress
has increased the minimum wage. Unemployment has increased
for teens, and teens have lost opportunities to gain work
experience. The Administration is also enacting tariff
barriers in violation of trade agreements and treaties. High
level managers are getting up to 90% pay cuts by the pay czar.
Businesses are reluctant to hire because of the above. These
are the same failed policies that FDR used.

Legalized Murder at Taxpayer Expense
When a human ovum and human sperm unite, the product is a
human being. To intentionally destroy that human being is
murder. An accomplice is one who willingly makes the
murder possible.
In the Affordable Health Care for America Act, page 110,
The public health insurance option shall provide coverage
for...abortions for which the expenditure of Federal funds
appropriated for the Department of Health and Human Services
is permitted...
This means that if the POTUS issues an Executive Order that
permits abortion, then taxpayers will pay for it. You must
read the appropriation bill for DHHS to determine what
murders are currently permitted.
