I wondered why my head was spinning!

Okay, I've made a point not to let this blog become a political thing. There's just too much of that sort of thing going on, and frankly I'd rather not become part of it. I have my opinions and I vote my conscience. However I can not be quiet about the latest outrage from the "New" Congress.

Sorry guys you blew it.

Perhaps one can debate stem cell funding.

Perhaps talk radio annoys some.

Perhaps some would like to enact "hate crimes" legislation.

But to introduce language into the Lobbying reform bill that would strip citizens of their right to petition the federal government…no, you aren't getting off that easy.

Sure, the language WAS stripped out of the house bill before the bill passed (and lobbying reform is a good idea in my book), but that the language was even introduced is an insult to everyone who claims to be a Democrat! In fact it's an insult to everyone who claims to be an American.

I am insensed (can you tell?) that we have elected officials in congress who swore to uphold the constitution, who apparently haven't the foggiest idea of what that document declares.

Embarrassing isn't it?

I understand that the Senate version of the bill may re-instate the offending language.

You might want to reconsider your vote from November.

I expect I'll be slammed with protests about this post. But I'm still right.
