Legal Corruption

Legal Corruption

"The Senate just rejected a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United"

So, with enough money, you can still own your own Senator or Representative.

Health Care

Outrageous that this law would be enacted and perhaps upheld by courts since it interferes with a constitutional right for no reason and no connection to a woman's health.

Oath of Office


Atheist Excluded from Air Force for Refusing to Say 'So Help me God'

Wall Street Journal (blog)-Sept 8, 2014
An atheist airman stationed at Creech Air Force Base in Nevada was denied reenlistment for refusing to sign an oath with the words “so help me God"

Outrageous - and dumb.   Dumb because we need and want people to reenlist. Outrageous because religion has no place here. The Air Force is part of the state and should respect the separation of church and state, as well as the beliefs of individuals.

Congress has just returned from a five week summer vacation. It will be in session for two weeks and then take off again until mid-November. When you add this to all of the other weeks off during the year, it is clear the pay to members per hour of governing is among the very highest in the land.
