An Important Message from DownsizeDC.org
This week is aparently just choc full of important third-party updates! This one's from DownsizeDC.org:
"PROGRESS
Welcome back from the Holiday. We hope you and yours had a good Easter. Things have not been so good in Congress. In recent days . . .
* Congressional leaders have withdrawn the "Online Freedom of Speech Act"
* The Senate has passed a so-called lobbying reform bill that would impose huge burdens on groups like us.
* Incumbents have silenced yet another source of competition by restricting political ads by 527 groups.
Please take note of the trend. Step-by-step, Congress is eliminating every source of opposition to its drive for larger and more centralized government. And the people sleep, ignorant of what is being done.
I want to pause for a moment to let this sink in.
If incumbents have nothing to fear on Election Day, because all potential challengers have been hobbled, then the only remaining impediment to them comes from groups like Downsize DC. Our only hope for stopping the relentless growth of the federal government, the ever rising debt, and the ever increasing centralization of power, is to overwhelm Congress with inescapable, mind-numbing pressure to take the opposite course. But . . . "
Please see the Downsize DC Blog linked to above for the full story.
