This weekend, I came across a great video on Ace of Spades HQ from a town hall meeting where the speaker made a dramatic statement about the choices facing our legislators and the two main camps. It is quite clear which camp she falls into.
Here is the video.
I love the part with the twenty at the end. When it comes down to it, the politicians should have the ability to say to our face that they need to take our money because the other item whatever it is is more important and a better use of the money.
Today the “mystery woman” has come forward and it is a blogger who goes by Liberty Belle and posts at Redistributing Knowledge. I love the extra detail she shares about what happened after her statement, which you can read here.
This is the debate we should be having about “need” and not about how many goodies we can get for ourselves before we get caught on the hook. Once we have taken the bait, we no longer are dealing in dollars and cents but essential liberty and freedom for minor things in the grand scheme simply to maintain others’ power. My freedom is not for sale. Therefore, if a portion of my freedom is needed to make the grand scheme happen . . . .
COME AND TAKE IT!!
