Tom Harkin: No Donations Needed In Iowa
Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa has spoken: No one needs to do anything to help the people affected by this flood — because HE is going to help them, and he is going to help them with as much of your cash as HE wants. Nope, it doesn’t matter if you were going to give more or less, he will determine how much YOU will “donate” to “help” these people. No, it doesn’t matter if you were going to give thousands of dollars to people to help — HE will take thousands of dollars from you, use 70% of it to put in his pocket and other bureaucratic fees, and the people in Iowa will get the rest (he needs their votes, see).
It’s wrong, plain and simple. If we had ANY semblance of freedom in this country, this sort of heavy-handed money-grabbing would not even be considered. Tom Harkin should be jailed for robbery, not rewarded with votes. He has ZERO Constitutional authority to take cash from the people of Maine and give to people HE personally likes in Iowa. That’s WRONG. If we had ANY freedom in this country, we would be free to help these people with our own money! But when government shows up and takes over half of what we earn, we simply cannot afford it. But Tom Harkin DOES NOT CARE. He’s going to spend money YOU earn (and not one dime of his own money, rest assured) to provide “generous federal assistance.”
Tom Harkin, you are a selfish, miserable ass.

Right on Ogre!!! This is exactly why every single politician in America needs to be “Fired”!!! by the real citizens and replaced with someone who won’t forget who it is that they represent!
Perhaps we should all meet in Washington, D.C. on 12 July 2008.

We have too many TRAITORS in Washington (and in Raleigh, too.) It use to be that folks got hung for being traitors.
Yeah Wuptdo, those were the good ole days. Hang em high or give em the firing squad. Now we let them do “aroebics videos or make movies in Hollyweird”!!!
Hey, I can arrange to take a few days off… that sounds like a smashing idea!!! Have fun and do a practical thing at the same time!
Maybe I’m just too pessimistic about Washington and politics:
“goal is to organize a peaceful, non-violent march on the streets of Washington D.C”
Yeah, that will be ignored very quickly. I can see the Congressmen now:
“Hey, what’s that outside?”
“I dunno, some wackos protesting some damn cause. Get back in here and vote to give me $6 billion so I can buy some votes. Then I’ll take you to lunch on the taxpayer dime.”
I do believe that the time for peaceful revolution is gone.
“I do believe that the time for peaceful revolution is gone.”… Mr. Ogre
I’m afraid I’ve reached the point of agreement with that statement.
I honestly hope I’m wrong.
