Your chances of being caught up in a terrorist incident even with NO security are right up there with being struck and killed by lightning. So how about this:

If you are worried about it (or just want a thrill), you pay a search and grope fee of say $25 so you can "feel safe" and get yourself molested. Security can be turned over to Hooters and Chippendales with some extra attention available for a good tip. I KNOW it would make money!

Those that did not feel like having to arrive hours early, wait in long lines, getting groped or figuring out what you can and can't take on board and how much of it THIS WEEK, can take our chances on non-secure flights with our only protection being a locked cockpit and a pilot with a gun.

There would probably be a slight surcharge for non-secure flights for the higher insurance risk. I'm sure it would be less than the taxes paid for TSA harassment per-passenger. For that matter, has anyone seen what TSA costs us per passenger? Their budget divided by number of airline passengers would get us in the ballpark. It's probably a pretty obscene number. Yep, TSA's budget for 2011 is 8.2B (virtually all of which is used for airline security) and roughly 1.5M people fly on an average day in the USA. That comes out to $15 in TAXPAYER money per radiate and grope session. The passenger will pay an additional $3-4 in fees for this "privilege". So that comes to a total of $18-19 per passenger, one way.

Some frightening facts

United States ranked sixth among 40 countries and regions, based on 16 indicators of innovation and competitiveness. Source; Information technology and innovation foundation.

Current federal policy seems to believe that investing hundreds of billions of dollars in federal research will recapture our innovation lead.

China continues accelerating its R&D investment spending, an average just above 19 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars over the past decade, compared with 3.3 percent growth in the United States.

World-renowned innovation strategist and author of the just-released, Innovation Playbook, Nicholas J. Webb proclaimed, “The current policy of investing federal tax dollars into federal innovation is absurd. Especially when coupled with an increased tax and regulatory burden on private sector innovators. It’s not the government, it’s private industry that creates world-class competitive technologies. If we don’t change this policy we’re TOAST!”

Clearly,in order to undo the 17th Amendment, which gave us "bought and paid for" Senators, we cannot count on the center of corruption itself, Congress, to initiate the repeal. How do we stir up the states enough to form a constitutional convention and repeal the 17th, and maybe the 16th, too?
Before such a happy day occurs, can we use the authority of the states, and their secretaries of state to impose qualifications upon senatorial candidates, and refuse to certify those who do not meet them? What I have in mind is requiring some percentage of campaign funds to be raised from in-state donors.

In America, Socialism is an assault against Private Property Rights as secured by the US Constitution,
and,
"Where Rights secured by the Constitution are concerned there can be no rule making or Legislation that would abrogate them" Miranda vs Arizona,
and,
The Definition of a "Right" includes "Exclusivity" of use and disposal,
and,
There can be no Right where the element of "Exclusivity" is abrogated therefrom without the consent of the owner of that Right, and

Therefore,
In America, Socialism is a crime that abrogates the property Right.

As such, why are there no law suits against Representatives who promote socialist legislation, or judges who fail to declare resulting actions in support of that Socialist Legislation to be unconstitutional, against the public policy and an injury upon everyone adversely effected?

Why does Government have a blank check to spend your money in any amount it wishes when it must commit a crime to do so? And why are these socialists not in a court of competent jruisdiction to answer for these crimes?

My name is Tim Nerenz, and I want to be your Congressman.

Not your mommy. Not your daddy. Not your doctor, banker, car salesman, teacher, pastor, union steward, or weather forecaster.

I don’t care if you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent,
or only vote on American Idol; I want
to represent you in Congress. Represent, not rule.

Because the overwhelming majority
of us just want government to keep us safe, protect our rights, and then leave
us alone.

Leave us alone to work, raise our families, run our businesses, build our communities, educate our children, practice our faith, pursue our interests, and take care of each other as we see fit.

Less government and more choices: that’s my answer, what is your question?

Is it the economy, education, environment, health care, energy, jobs, drugs, guns, taxes, trade, currency, foreign relations, transportation, lifestyle, pensions, unions, social issues? You tell me what’s important to you and my answer is still the same – less government for Tammy, and more choices for you.

I am not going to Washington to bring home the bacon; I’m going to Washington to shut down the slaughterhouse. We wouldn’t need a free lunch if government quit stealing our lunch money.

Liberty is the absence of government in choice. Government is the absence of liberty in choice. How about you? Do you want more Liberty or more Government?

Choose Liberty. Choose Tim, Not Tammy.

Ron Paul is the rep I voted for and he definatley is the marque guest but we need to unite on certain issues w/ principled reps like Kuchinich and Nader etc Bill Moyer maybe - The 4-5 issues that these so called left reps agree w/ the Ron Paulites and libertarians etc are more important than ever - IF we could just end oversees empire spending and restore the Constitution (get rid of unPatriot Act, have rule of law prosecute abusers) - have fairer elections - revamp our dollar - and get rid of corporate welfare a new renaissance is upon us - these left leaning libs agree on these (most important) issues and honestly we cant win without them - we can argue over healthcare and gay marriage after lol these are the important issues and we need to bring them under our tent!
