A "right" is a moral principle defining and sanctioning a man's freedom of action in a social context. There is only one fundamental right (all the others are its consequences or corollaries): a man's right to his own life. Life is a process of self-sustaining and self-generated action; the right to life means the right to engage in self-sustaining and self-generated action- which means: the freedom to take all the actions required by the nature of a rational being for the support, the furtherance, the fulfillment and the enjoyment of his own life.

Senator: I note that you voted YEA on the Cloture motion to bring the DISCLOSE Act to a vote. I am writing to tell you that I view the DISCLOSE Act as a direct attack on the First Amendment. In his State of the Union speech the President took the unprecedented action to reprimand and lecture the seated Justices of the Supreme Court for overturning the unconstitutional provisions of the McCain/Feingold law. Further, he demanded Congress send him a bill that would effectively reverse the action o... [continue reading]Last updated on July 23, 2010 @ 5:02 AM by C. Jeffery Small

Dear Senator:I am writing to ask that you vote NO on S.3295, the DISCLOSE Act. Despite the recent revisions to the bill, this remains a piece of legislation designed to undermine the first amendment right of free speech of every American by imposing complex and costly requirements and limitations that most seriously affect individuals and small, grass-roots organizations wishing to engage in the political dialog. This bill is designed to act as a gag, silencing dissent. The ver... [continue reading]Last updated on July 19, 2010 @ 3:32 AM by C. Jeffery Small

July 18, 2010 Dear Congressmen Reichert, Hastings and McMorris Rodgers: Back on July 8th I wrote to each of you asking you to sign on as co-sponsors to Rep. Steve King's Bill H.R. 4972 which very succinctly calls for the complete repeal of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as well as signing on to Mr. King's motion forcing a new vote in the House on the health care legislation, the latter of which Ms. McMorris Rodgers has already endorsed. As of today I have not heard back from ... [continue reading]Last updated on July 13, 2010 @ 11:30 PM by Cloud Downey

Senator: When the Supreme Court struck down the censorship provision in the McCain/Feingold law it upheld the First Amendment RIGHTS of free men. In his State of the Union speech the country witnessed President Obama insult and ridicule the SCOTUS Justices for their decision and simultaneously instruct Congress to send him legislation that will once again stifle freedom of speech. To say that the actions of the President and the Democrats are troubling would be a gross understatement. Th... [continue reading]Last updated on July 13, 2010 @ 7:04 PM by Mark Norcini

To Rep. Jan Schakowsky 9th District, Illinois Re: CNBC Appearance Dear Rep. Schakowsky, I am writing in response to your appearance today on CNBC’s Squawk Box in the morning. As an investor, businessperson, and student of the financial markets, it warmed my heart to see you on the television debating Paul Ryan. I was so embarrassed for you, as you welfare statists clearly are running out of bullets to defend your perpetually ineffective approach to running an economy. At this point,...

Mr. Skinner; Hat's off to you. I applaud your rigorous defense of McDonald's reputation and business practices in response to the attack from the nebulous organization known as the Center for Science in the Public Interest. The very name of the organization tells us what we need to know about the CSPI. Public? There is no such thing as the 'public'; there are only individuals and individuals can make decisions of their own choosing. Any organization that would attempt to engage in social engine...

On June 22, 2010 Mr. Skinner, Vice Chairman, CEO and President of McDonalds Corporation, received a letter from Stephen Gardner, Litigation Director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). http://cspinet.org/new/pdf/mcdonalds-demand-062210.pdf. In this letter CSPI “demands” that McDonald’s USA, LLC (“McDonald’s”) immediately stop using toys to market Happy Meals to young children” and “This letter details McDonald&rsq...

Dear Congressmen Reichert, Hastings and McMorris Rodgers:As the three Republican representatives from my state of Washington, I am asking you once again to please sign on as co-sponsors for H.R. 4972, repealing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and to take every action possible to see that it is passed. I want this bill to be repealed and do not wish to see it replaced with any Republican alternative that is designed to merely tinker with the nature of the government's involve...

Dear Ms. Pelosi:I just watched the video interview with Jan Helfeld where it was made abundantly clear that you consider it perfectly alright for you to employ interns without paying them a minimum wage, while at the same time you are enacting legislation that would make it illegal for others to do the same. This is just another clear demonstration that you see yourself as occupying an elite position in relation to the rest of us whom you are supposed to represent, sitting above and outsid...

Congressman; As my Representative I note that you are not signed on as a co-sponsor to HR4972; the House bill to repeal ObamaCare; aka the misnamed Patient Protection and Affordable Care act. I encourage you to co-sponsor this bill and ask your colleagues in the House to do the same. ObamaCare is a direct attack on individual rights and will result in the rapid degradation of medical care to the point where we will have the worst effects of government applied to the medical profession and all su...
