A Roadmap for America's Future 2.0

Today, Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI) revealed Roadmap for America's Future 2.0.  The Plan is a long but enlightening read.

I hope some of you read it and then take the survey, ask a question over email, and spread the message if you support it.

The charts and graphs are worth a look at least.

Congress Sends 21 Members to Copenhagen, All Expenses Paid by You

This story is breaking news on the Drudge Report, though government waste is hardly news to me anymore. 

It's also not surprising that the members of Congress taking advantage of this giant, tax-payer funded photo-op come from both sides of the aisle.  Neither party is really commited to limited government, despite the fact that "EVERY PENNY COUNTS. CONGRESS SHOULD BE SHAKIN' THE COUCH CUSHIONS LOOKING FOR CHANGE, RATHER THAN SPENDING CASH FOR EVERYBODY TO GO TO COPENHAGEN."

The Hate Crime Slide

Using sleazy legislative tatics, Democrats have quietly attached the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Bill to the National Defense Authorization Act.  This is a typical way for those who want questionable legislation to go through without much resistence. What better way to get your bill passed than attach it to the military budget bill for that year? You support the troops, right? For example the REAL ID Act was passed in the same way.

Repeal of the 22nd Amendment?

Congress continues to get crazier just when you thought that wasn't possible. 

Although it hasn't recieved much media attention, Rep Jose Serrano (D-NY) introduced a House Joint Resolution earlier this year to repeal the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, the clause which limits presidents to two terms of service.

Here is the text of the legislation:

Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to repeal the twenty-second article of amendment, thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as President.

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (two-thirds of each House concurring therein), That the following article is proposed as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, which shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States within seven years after the date of its submission for ratification

While the bill has no cosponsors at at this time, it wouldn't surprise me if it suddenly became popular among Democrats if Obama wins reelection.  This could be the start of ever more tyrannical rule, and, if it successfully passes and repeals the 22nd Amendment, would justify the warnings against government we've heard for years.
