  • Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
    Benjamin Franklin
    All decisions should be in the open.
    New rules-pay representatives according to the job they do. Add a 3 strikes your out rule–For each time any one voted for anything unconstitutional or pork to fill their own pocket they get a strike.
    (That’s one for you pelosi!)
    Vote Ron Paul for President-He would keep things above board & veto all pork.
