Senate just passed FISA

This weekend at the Iowa State republican convention, there was much talk about the Second Amendment. We got a plank into the platform that supported repealing all gun control laws. As you would expect, we raised the roof with all the applause.

Politicians were there, and Congressman King made much ado about following the Constitution. He even held up his copy of the Constitution to show us all. But for all the Constitutional show, there was no mention of the Fisa vote just 3 days earlier. Nor did he mention that he, Congressman Latham, and Senator Grassley had voted to gut the Fourth Amendment. http://www.govtrack.us/congress/vote.xpd?vote=s2008-168

Other than their support for the Second Amendment the republicans had little to say about their dismal record of violating our Constitutional rights these past seven years.

And the really sad thing is, not one republican delegate I talked with knew one thing about this Fisa bill.... Not One thing.

Did you expect anything less? Are you tired of this yet? Are you truly tired of this? If so are you ready to do something that will and is making a difference right now?

I have been seeing this for 30 years and complained about it just the same to no avail. The solution is as G. Edward Griffin puts it; “to come to power” begging other people to do the right thing has not and will never work.

Dr Paul has given us the solution, and many of us have tested it and found that it works and it works very well. “Take Back the Republican Party”! We here in Idaho and many other states have proven it works!

Our only problem is not enough patriots having stepped up to do it. This is why we must quit scattering our energies to the fours winds and come to a single minded focus, resolve and effort with everyone on the same page. We must stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

All the 3rd party recruiting, prideful refusal to get involved with the Republican Party, because we don’t like what they are doing now, and independent directions have done absolutely nothing to stem the tied of this sort of thing. It in fact has allowed it to perpetuate with no end in site.

We can no longer sit back and scatter our focus in a million directions and expect change. This is what patriots have been doing for 30 years and it hasn’t made damn bit of difference. We must take the straight albeit sometimes unpleasant course of joining the Republican Party and taking the reins instead of begging them and the Democrats to do the right things. Those that hope for Bob Bar or Chuck Baldwin to suddenly take the country by storm are not facing the reality of the controlled media. Which is ironic after we have seen what they did to Dr. Paul? Bar and Baldwin are a waste of time and energy and weaken our efforts by dividing us that is the reality.

So if you're really serious about changing this country and securing the blessings of freedom to ourselves and our posterity then swallow your pride and come to where the battle is raging and which right now it is the Republican Party and get in the fight. And be thankful we don’t have a hot revolution like our founders did and we don’t have to make the same level of sacrifices they did to return to and secure those blessings they fought so hard for!

"We really do have...a once in a lifetime opportunity to take the Republican Party back to where it was." -Kent Snyder, 1959-2008

"You blame this on Bush but please add the DEM congress for voting on this and helping it pass. I am not paranoid I am safer. No doubt about it. If they want to listen in on my calls that will be fine. I dont care. Why is this such a big deal. I dont mind at all giving up some liberties to be safer. Its working by the way."

F*CK!!

I don't know who wrote this, but when I find them, I will kill them.

You know that guy who made a video of himself doing a silly dance around the world? He had something interesting to say about the current state of free speech in the US.

What did you encounter on your travels for this latest video that surprised you?

The degree to which our right to free and peaceable assembly has eroded in the U.S. You need to get permission to gather large numbers of people in any public place, and the tendency is not to give it — for a variety of reasons, and to be fair some of them are pretty understandable. Basically, liability supersedes civil liberty in the modern world.

I was stunned that we were forbidden to meet in front of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. The Department of Parks and Recreation was not interested in hearing why Jefferson's involvement in crafting the Bill of Rights made their policy ironic.

[The Washington, D.C., Department of Parks and Recreation says it is unable to grant permissions for the Jefferson Memorial because that falls within the domain of the National Park Service.]

Oboma’s 20,000 strong web site, asked him NOT to vote for FISA, but he did anyway.

Let’s all bombard their web site asking them for help, to rid us of Oboma before he becomes President and does even more damage to our Republic. Be polite, but plug Ron Paul’s 20 year fight for liberty.

If we can win over this crowd, we will have accomplished a miracle. Let’s go for it!

Our slogan should be: DON”T BLAME US, WE VOTED FOR RON PAUL!

Weren't there some senators who declared that they would absolutely stand in the way of this bill's passage by use of filibuster???

Hm, guess they forgot.

You know what should happen next, but won't.
