Bill of Rights Blackout!

I just joined Bob Barr in signing his pledge to stop the Blackout of the Bill of Rights:

We the undersigned citizens of the United States petition Congress to rise to its responsibilities and enforce and protect the Bill of Rights through any and all means at its disposal including but not limited to Committee Hearings and legal action through the courts.

Bob Barr Testifies in House Judiciary Committee Hearing

Today, Bob Barr had the opportunity to serve his country by testifying in a Congressional hearing today.  He spoke about Executive Power and Its Constitutional Limitations in a hearing on Dennis Kucinich’s impeachment resolution.  He spoke extensively about how President Bush has used the Executive Branch to achieve greater control of the country than was ever anticipated, and how neither of the other two branches did their duties to balance the power he wielded from the office of President.  You can read the transcript (which I highly recommend reading in full) here on Bob’s campaign blog.

Wait For It…

I was reading an article on the status of energy bills within Congress, and I came across this piece from thehill.com.  Overall, the piece is fairly boring, as the authors discuss the status of various energy bills before Congress, but everything was redeemed by the Democrat aide at the VERY end, since it sums up what seems to be the theme of most politicians in response to the most talked about issue facing our economy.
