Happening NOW: Rand Paul has been holding the Senate floor to keep them from passing the Patriot Act

They have some crazy plans for us.

You think legalizing prostitution is CRAZY???

Even my Mother (DoB 1917) and Grandmother were FOR legalizing Prostitution. There is no way you are going to stamp out prostitution so Regulate it, TAX it, and protect those poor girls from disease and abuse instead of tossing them in jail.

As it stands now we have the highest incarceration rate in the world. One in four adults have a criminal record and therefore can not get a decent job. Our prisons are so overfull the Supreme Court has ordered California to remove thousands from their over crowded prisons...

So how about making drug and prostitution legal and focus on the REAL crimes, Murder, Rape, theft, and FRAUD (aka fractional reserve banking :lol As it stands now, in one state, having ammunition (not a gun) WILL land you in jail for two years (a gun and Ammo is ten) but stealing a semi-truck and trailer and driving across state lines nets you a MAXIMUM of two months probation (with four prior convictions!)

Tom Udall (Democrat NM) on the Senate floor calls for a full debate. Saying congress and the Senate acted in hast when passing it the first time....

GOOD for TOM!!!!

I think after this and after Nancy Pelosi said, "But we have to pass the [health care ] bill so that you can find out what is in it." It is past time for the READ THE BILL ACT!

Rep. Conyers: Don't Read the Bill

“I love these members, they get up and say, ‘Read the bill,’” said Rep. John Conyers. “What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages and you don’t have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?”

That's an elected member of Congress explaining why lawmakers shouldn't bother themselves with reading bills. It's just too gosh-darned difficult. And who's ever heard of lawyers working in congressional offices? Not me, no way.

Seriously, as a representative of a district, congressmen should know what they are voting on and, if they need help, they employ people who can help them read the bills and inform their decision-making process on behalf of their constituents.....

GOOD GRIEF! What the heck are we doing electing these S.O.B.'s for if it is not to REPRESENT OUR INTEREST???? And that means READING and UNDERSTANDING what they are voting FOR!

I thin it is time for THIS (You will have to click the link to see why I am laughing)

The clearer you make it, that you do not represent joe didntgivemeabuck average, the more likely it is that those who did fund your election campaign, will fund your reelection campaign.

He is running for president.

This is why I am voting for Ron Paul, We are only asking that they do their freaking jobs! You think if I went to work and failed to read a report the people I work for would say: "Well it is really long, why read it, thats only what we pay you for!"

Large Brother

Was Rand Paul named after Ayn Rand? Scarrrry.

I think you should consider
making a thread on this alone! Great post!
Kinda creepy though, to say the least.

As it stands now we have the highest incarceration rate in the world. One in four adults have a criminal record and therefore can not get a decent job. Our prisons are so overfull the Supreme Court has ordered California to remove thousands from their over crowded prisons...

Sorry but no, California is releasing prisoners NOT because of over crowding, but because they are going BROKE and trying to trim the fat and cut corners......

They were talking about doing this last summer to bring down spending in California........

Over crowding had nothing to do with it

Well, it's over. Obama signed the four year extension minutes prior to the midnight deadline.

Paul agreed to let the bill go forward after he was given a vote on two amendments to rein in government surveillance powers. Both were soundly defeated.

Ugh SCREW that noise man, freaking call our representatives, shake up them senators days by telling them to bring it back to the floor, overturn that # in the courts. Oh gods if only our government wasn't such a freaking revolving door.

So I Intentionally turned the volume up, and made it so my Dad( A somewhat left leaning Obama voter) had to listen to this from Rand.

First Question from him after it was over...


Q: who was that Guy?.( I have made him listen to Ron Paul on Issues in the past) And he really likes him.

A: Rand Paul, Ron Paul's son.

Him: Oh! You know What? I never liked that stupid patriot act.

Me: I know! What is the point of having Security , if you have to go through metal detectors? And if you have to do...(Insert famous.. "Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." Thomas jefferson."

Then i said.. Well Barak Obama just gave a big old..CHECK mark to the patriot act.

He shook his head and said "I know"

Things are moving in the "Right" Direction. So long as we can avoid the Douchebag's like Romney, Palin, Trump, Huckabee, and other's who speak only half truths. We need a Paul in the white House.

And that other bag of crap Paul Ryan, does not count as a Paul in the White House.

The sad thing is this something that should have happened long before Obama came into office.

When the Patriot Act was first conceived all those years ago, I literally cringed at the mere thought of our civil rights and liberties being chiseled away. Now we're here nearly a decade later still trying to get this mess rescinded.

The paid off puppets in the house and senate are not about to go
against what their puppet masters want.

Hillary has clearly said who is really in charge.
