(136 posts)Interesting and not surprising it was a republican sponsored bill... They don't want "We the People" disrupting the dismantling of the Constitution as well as the bill of rights... You watch, they'll leave the 2nd amendment alone until they've polished off all the others. To be there to see the slack-jawed, empty-eyed shock when those under-informed Tea-baggers realize they've helped the monied elite destroy what the "founding fathers" built. I hope I never live to see that day.
They want to stop what happened in Wisconsin when the Gallery chanted, "Shame, Shame, Shame!" They want to stave off the Occupy movement form occupying the halls of Congress, the office buildings containing the office spaces of the members of Congress and the Senate.
They want to be able to arrest people for just coming into their offices, you know, that aren't wing-tip wearing, money carrying lobbyist. Having a constituent come in to take up time and disrupt the flow of lobby money, well that just can't happen!!! That's criminal!!!
No, what they are doing to our Constitution is criminal. The crooks and thieves are stealing us blind and at the same time, they are writing crimes into law. Meanwhile, the justified get arrested and the unjust continue to get paid to look the other way. It's broken and they keep ripping more and more threads from our flag.
Get the money out. It won't fix it, but it's a start. We the people have to overwhelm the ballot box so the black boxes will break under the weight of our indignation. You want justice? Find good honest people to run in local elections, school board, city council, state representative, etc. That's what they did for over 30 years, they (the republicans) worked a plan, started local, why do you think we have strict conservatives in the State School Board of Texas? Because they influence what goes in the textbooks, and other states buy those same textbooks.
