by way of the Smallest Minority:
From the Clue Batting Cage this is really really good. Read the whole thing.
if Socialized Medicine isn’t socialism … if nationalizing companies isn’t socialism … if redistribution of wealth isn’t socialism … maybe we have different dictionaries.

The Tenth Amendment Center has a nice list
Texas
As a public office holder, or a candidate for public office, I promise that, as long as I hold office:
1. My votes will always be in favor of the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this State. Every issue. Every time. No exceptions. No excuses.
gotta love that
update:
of those above that actually have a non-gov or non-facebook website I could find; only David Sorrells has actually linked to the pledge text.
This is discouraging since the pledge itself states in item 10:
10. I will keep this pledge public, and will provide a link on my website which directs constituents to the text of this pledge.
if they don’t read and follow something this short what hope do they have of dealing with government docs?

from FBO.gov
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) intends to purchase sixty Remington Model 870 Police RAMAC #24587 12 gauge pump-action shotguns for the Criminal Investigation Division. The Remington parkerized shotguns, with fourteen inch barrel, modified choke, Wilson Combat Ghost Ring rear sight and XS4 Contour Bead front sight, Knoxx Reduced Recoil Adjustable Stock, and Speedfeed ribbed black forend, are designated as the only shotguns authorized for IRS duty based on compatibility with IRS existing shotgun inventory, certified armorer and combat training and protocol, maintenance, and parts.
is this ‘creating jobs’ or ’stimulating the economy’ ?

I am sick and tired of the phrase “I’m fighting for my rights!”
If you want to fight for your rights, you lazy, selfish, hypocrite, go right ahead. Where were you when MY rights were infringed?
I’m fighting for everyone’s rights. Lead, follow or get out of the way, but until you realize it’s not just about YOU, we will fail. I’m not talking about this movement or that movement …. I’m talking about society. WE WILL FAIL.
You have a voice and a responsibility to use it EVERY time. Not just when it is convenient or just when it affects you. You should speak out for your community and ALL the people in it; not just the people you know or the people you like.
