“I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!”Network – 1976 – YouTube

Dear sir,

This is for those who can’t understand what the Occupy movement is all about. People getting mad as hell and vowing not to take it anymore spawned our American Revolution back in the 18th century…and is what we need to start a second American Revolution to take back our country again today!

Montana high court upholds ban on election spending by corporations | Great Falls Tribune | greatfallstribune.com

Dear sir,

At least the state of Montana agrees that corporations are not people. Now if only the remaining 49 states and SCOTUS can manage to pull their heads out of their okoles.

Bill Boyarsky: Bernie Sanders Explains Why Congress Fears Citizens United – Bill Boyarsky’s Columns – Truthdig

December 23, 2011 Leave a comment

Dear sir,

This wacky, dangerous notion that corporations are people…and thus entitled to the same protections under the Constitution as actual human beings, is a subject I have been meaning to address.  Perhaps after the Christmas season. Until then, here is a piece on the proposed 28th Amendment that I fully support:

Dear sir,

I think the perspective of those who have lived under tyranny is relevant:

“If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear” is not part of our Constitution.

How America And The Mainstream Media Got Breitbarted On NDAA

December 21, 2011 Leave a comment

Dear sir,

It seems that some are purposely trying to freak out those with a propensity to be perpetually freaked out to ensure that there can be no reasoned debate or analysis of the dangerously ambiguous sections of the NDAA.

Happy Bill of Rights Day!

December 16, 2011 Leave a comment

Dear sir,

I hope it is not only I who sees the irony of writing under a pseudonym on the 220th anniversary of  Virginia ratifying the Bill of Rights, making it part of our Constitution.  My famous namesake, who worked so hard to ensure a bill of rights so, among other things,  Americans would never again feel the need protect themselves from harm when commenting on public policy, must be crying in his grave.  We may as well be celebrating the Easter Bunny.
