Senator Rand Paul On The Indefinate Detention Of American Citizens In The Defense Authorization Bill

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anjVgWNzQnk] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKaTxjxnYfE] U.S. Senate Votes for Indefinite, Unconstitutional Detention All the Senators who voted for this legislation are traitors to the Constitution and the people they represent.  Wisconsin residents should be very upset to know Senator Ron Johnson voted for this bill.  Call your representatives in the House and tell them to vote against this bill.

The Debt Ceiling, The Dream Act, And The Downgrade

It has definitely been a wild couple of weeks that continues to prove to me that nothing will ever change in Washington D.C. We have seen a debt ceiling deal that does nothing to change the course our country is headed on.  The TEA Party has been called terrorists by Vice President Joe Biden, and demonized by some in talk radio and the IMPOTENT Republican establishment. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard the Republican establishment wimps say, ” We only have one branch of government, how much can we be expected to do?”  Controlling one branch of government is all that is needed to prevent any bad bill from being passed! THE SOLUTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN: Pass a spending freeze bill and cuts similar to what Sen. Rand Paul suggested ( a spending freeze and 1% cut each year for six years), and spend the rest of the time explaining it to your districts.  If the Senate and POTUS refuse to do anything with the bill, stay in your district and keep explaining it.  That is truly why we have a system of checks and balances.  The sky will not fall as they have led you to believe….

Reid Preempts Paul, Slips Patriot Act in Small Business Bill Attempting To Prevent Patriot Act Debate

From infowars.com:  Harry Reid Moves To Prevent Senate Debate On The Patriot Act Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has circumvented a call by the newly elected senator from Kentucky, Rand Paul, to debate the Patriot Act. In order to prevent a filibuster, Reid performed “some procedural gymnastics,” according to Fox News, and slipped Patriot Act language into a House small business bill that is considered filibuster-proof. In doing so, Reid has skirted objections to the bill led by Paul and has moved closer to extending the Patriot Act without debate. Democrats have applauded this effort to rush the extension into law without debate. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gmjhk2-ynLo&feature=player_embedded]
