Interesting they said the LAST administration, how about what it is, the Obama Administration? Play on words to avoid direct accusation of him. Minor issue? No it is not.

That said, I'm sure the Democrats will launch a full blown investigation as to why Haley's office did not cancel the order, try to deflect the fact of just who authorized the purchase.

If Paul had got the nod instead of McCain, it would be a much different, a much BETTER America today. His appeal went across all age groups and the support and enthusiasm from the young folks would have had him beating Obama handily, I think. The sad thing was he had a squeaky voice and none of the false charisma that many politicians such as Obama possessed. Still, he was one of the most honest people in Congress and one of the smartest. He was a veteran and a doctor and had some real... [ More ]

Ron Paul is one of my patriotic heroes Another, was the late William Proxmire, Senator of Wisconsin Who Abhored Waste, .like spending $20 for a hammer, etc https://www.nytimes.com/2005/.../william-proxmire-senator-who-abhored-waste- The longtime gadfly of the Senate dispensed Golden Fleece Award annually to bring the unseen cost practices to light

Trump would have been well served to have appointed Ron Paul as Sec. of the Treasury. Not sure he would have accepted the job, but if he had, at least we would have had the Fed audited and a peek inside Ft. Knox, see if there's any gold in there.

Congress gets all sorts of perks the avg. American doesn't get! They are immune from certain insider trading restrictions, get free airport parking and some of their airline travel is free, something like 240 paid days of vacation ea. yr., death benefits that, if they die while in office, their family gets nearly twice the sum our combat troop's families get, plus hundreds of thousands to millions for their personal staffs. That's not even mentioning the free gym and other exercise facilities, plus salon, barber shop, free cars to use and while they DO have to pay for their meals, the prices are not in line with private restaurants, and of course, the cooks, wait staff, equipment, etc. are all paid for by the taxpayer....

Congress/Senators shall make NO LAW that applies to us citizens that does not apply equally to them to us Citizens..

This is what we need to start to DRAIN THE SWAMP!!!!!!!

Please Read, This will only take 1 minute to read!

PROPOSED 28th Amendment, 35 States and Counting. It's an idea whose time has come to STOP with this self-serving situation:

OUR PRESENT SITUATION !

1. Children of Congress members do not have to pay back their college student loans. Staffers of Congress family members are also exempt from having to pay back student loans.

2. Members of Congress can RETIRE AT FULL PAY after only one term. (NO NEED FOR S.S.)

Members of Congress have exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed, under which ordinary citizens must live. The latest example, they have exempted themselves from Healthcare Reform, in all of its aspects.

THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THE 100% FREE CADILLAC HEALTH INS. FOR THEM THEIR FAMILIES.

NO DEDUCTIBLE ALL COSTS FULLY PAID BY US.

We must not tolerate an elite class of such people, elected as public servants and then putting themselves above the law. We truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent, or whatever. The self-serving must stop.

Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon their states. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.

IF??? Each person that receives this will forward it on to 20 people, in three days most people in The United States of America will have the message.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:

Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the Citizens of the United States ...

SIMPLE, DIRECT AND MOST IMPORTANT FAIR

PASS THIS ON SUPPORT IT!!!
