My most recent letter to congress "Disclose Act" (S. 3295)

I must insist you vote for free speech and against the "Disclose Act" (S. 3295). This bill infringes on our constitutional right and gives you and other government officials too much power. Power that was never intended to be bestowed upon any one or any branch of government. I am very disappointed in your representation of our values and in your record as a senator.

This is a Government by the people for the people. Not to the people at the people.

I have so much more to say on this matter but at this point I implore you to vote against this 1st amendment quashing,'Oh poor me I have tenure I want to keep all my power and all your money' (S. 3295) act. It is a disgrace.

I should not be the one that is disappointed with you, you should be disappointed with yourself!

Remember the Guy that wouldn't take the Flag down?

I love this....and this man certainly doesn't look 90 years 
old!     

Great soldier's story...   

Head east from Carthage on Mississippi 16 toward Philadelphia.  After a few miles a sign says you’re in Edinburg.  It’s a good thing the sign’s there, because there’s no other way to tell.

On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg -- probably didn’t make much news back then. 

Twenty-five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Carano, Italy, Van T. Barfoot, who had enlisted in the Army in 1940, set out to flank German machine gun positions from which fire was coming down on his fellow soldiers. He advanced through a minefield, took out three enemy machine gun  positions and returned with 17 prisoners of war.

If that wasn’t enough for a day’s work, he later took on and destroyed three German tanks sent to retake the 
machine gun positions.

That probably didn’t make much news either, given the scope of the war, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a colonel after also serving in Korea and Vietnam, a Congressional Medal of Honor.

What did make news last week was a neighborhood association’s quibble with how the 90-year-old veteran chose to fly the American flag outside his suburban
Virginia home.  Seems the rules said a flag could be flown on a house-mounted bracket, but, for decorum, items such as Barfoot’s 21-foot flagpole were unsuitable.

He had been denied a permit for the pole, erected it anyway and was facing court action if he didn’t take it down.  

Since the story made national TV, the neighborhood association has rethought its position and agreed to indulge this old hero who dwells among them.

“In the time I have left I plan to continue to fly the American flag without nterference,” Barfoot told The Associated Press.

As well he should.

And if any of his neighbors still takes a notion to contest him, they might want to read his Medal of Honor citation. It indicates he’s not real good at backing down.

Van T. Barfoot’s Medal of Honor citation: 

"This 1944 Medal of Honor citation, listed with the National Medal of Honor Society, is for Second ieutenant 
(then Tech Sergeant) Van T. Barfoot, 157th Infantry, 45th Infantry Division:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty on 23 May 1944, near Carano, Italy. With his platoon heavily engaged during an assault against forces well entrenched on commanding ground, 2d Lt. Barfoot (then Tech. Sgt.) moved off alone upon the enemy left flank. He crawled
to the proximity of 1 machinegun nest and made a
direct hit on it with a hand grenade, killing 2 and wounding 3 Germans. He continued along the German defense line to another machinegun emplacement, and with his tommygun killed 2 and captured 3 soldiers. Members of another enemy machinegun crew then  abandoned their position and gave themselves up to Sgt. Barfoot.

Leaving the prisoners for his support squad to pick up, he proceeded to mop up positions in the immediate area, capturing more prisoners and bringing his total count to 17. Later that day, after he had reorganized his men and
consolidated the newly captured ground, the enemy launched a fierce armored counterattack directly at his platoon positions. Securing a bazooka, Sgt. Barfoot took up an exposed position directly in front of 3 advancing Mark VI tanks. 

From a distance of 75 yards his first shot destroyed the track of the leading tank, effectively disabling it, while the other 2 changed direction toward the flank. As the crew of the disabled tank dismounted, Sgt. Barfoot killed 3 of them with his tommygun. He continued onward into enemy terrain and destroyed a recently abandoned German fieldpiece with a demolition charge placed in the breech. 

While returning to his platoon position, Sgt. Barfoot, though greatly fatigued by his Herculean efforts, assisted 2 of his seriously wounded men 1,700 yards to a position of safety.  

Sgt. Barfoot's extraordinary heroism, demonstration of magnificent valor, and aggressive determination in the face of pointblank fire are a perpetual inspiration to his fellow soldiers.^[7]"

My most recent letter to congress (Elena Kagan: Go back to school!)

Picking a Supreme Court judge should be about finding someone who values the Constitution above the opportunity to re-write it more to their liking.

Elena Kagan, with zero experience as a judge, has spent her professional career working for judges who embrace judicial activism, law schools that indoctrinate it, and presidents who enable it.She is a teacher and an administrator with no real world knowledge or understanding of the law or the constitution it upholds beyond acting as a sycophant to destroy it in order look good in the eyes of her peers. She has also demonstrated hostility to traditional marriage, support for abortion and a pro-socialist views that she does not hide.

Please vote no on her confirmation.
