They passed this load of crap and Nancy says we will like it!!!
I like it like a swarm of Lyme infected ticks crawling on my body. Nazi Pelousey, you are relieved from duty. You are a lying traitor.
Will their shirts be brown?
Brown is so in today!
Where can I get a full copy of the text of the bill? I’d like to find what I can on Congress excluding themselves from the requirements.
Presidential appointment...
without regard to the laws of the land...
Oh boy...
This sounds unconstitutional.
Only States and individuals can start or be members of a militia.
Since when can a President start HIS own militia? What about FEMA. Does this mean FEMA is to be disbanded?
The USPHS has always had a Regular and Reserve officer corps.
Wow. Just wow.
I may very be one of the first persons busted for possession of an illegal Twinkie.
Does this mean ...what I think it means? Uh? What?
WELL, WE ALL KNOW THAT ACORN JUST CLOSED THEIR DOORS!!!
I GUESS THIS CREATES A NEW JOB FOR THEM!!!!
I hope that the GOP takes over COngress in November and cuts out funding for this thing, while it is fought in the courts AND later revoked.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. I wonder HOW MANY MORE landmines are lurking in that monster bill??
Dr. Josef Mengele would be jealous!
Hmmmm. I downloaded the whole darn thing as a PDF from the site yesterday,,,
Let’s all sign up. It will be much easier to take the country back if we do it from within. Just thinking out loud
May I suggest going to the office supply first because you will need 2700 pages to print.
