I'm with the critics on this one, my FRiend.
"Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, one of only three Republican lawmakers to buck the House leadership and the Bush administration to vote against this legislation, is outraged not only by what is contained in the antiterrorism bill but also by the effort to stigmatize opponents. Paul tells Insight, "The insult is to call this a 'patriot bill' and suggest I'm not patriotic because I insisted upon finding out what is in it and voting no. I thought it was undermining the Constitution, so I didn't vote for it — and therefore I'm somehow not a patriot. That's insulting."
Ron Paul's my HERO!! This is a horrible bill and needs to be gotten rid of by the Legislature before it eventually gets overturned by the SCOTUS!! Folks who are gonna be flip-flopping on their votes can use the excuse that they never saw the original legislation and were misled...but this Legislation deserves to be relegated to the Ashbin of History, IMHO.
FReegards...MUD
BTW...Go Insight Go!! Excellent publication!!
