Don't let them pass the PASS Act
Quote of the Day: "Security is mostly superstition." -- Helen Keller
Subject: Don't let them pass the PASS Act
The American people have rejected the REAL ID Act, and the national ID card it would create. The politicians claim they can fix REAL ID by replacing it with something called the PASS ID, to be enacted by the PASS Act, S. 1261.
The PASS Act is a fraud. PASS ID is REAL ID by another name.

Subject: We're off to a roaring start
We grew from 24,000 DC Downsizers to 25,000 in 176 days. Then we grew from 25,000 to 26,000 in just 59 days. Now, in just 8 days, part of which covers a holiday weekend, we're already 50% of the way between 26,000 and 27,000. Incredible.
We're also 36% of the way to exceeding the number of new people who registered to use our Educate the Powerful System in June,

Subject: When bureaucrats rewrite the law
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (Customs) has proposed a ruling that would re-define "switchblade" to include all pocket knives that can be opened with one hand. In doing so, they are arbitrarily reversing their own previous rulings. Worse, they are ignoring Congressional intent, will throw thousands out of work, endanger tradesmen and outdoorsmen, and make potential felons of tens of millions of Americans. It is just the latest reason we must pass the Write the Laws Act and prevent unelected bureaucrats from making law.

Subject: Does the government have your consent on this July 4th?
Every Election Day tens of millions of Americans consent to be governed, at least in theory. The politicians constantly point back to the election as justification for the things they do. But is this really valid? What about all the people who now feel betrayed by the office-holder? What about all the people who...
