Joe the Plumber Should Sue


All he did was ask a question within earshot of a microphone. Now, Joe the Plumber is the subject of an ruthless invasion of privacy for his "outspokeness." Is this what dissenters have to look forward to in an Obama nation?

Police in Ohio confirmed that a Toledo police department records clerk is accused of using the police department data system to perform an illegal search on Joe Wurzelbacher's background. The clerk was part of the Toledo police Investigative Services Bureau. She claims she was doing a favor for a reporter. She has been charged with Gross Misconduct. Searching his records was a violation of State law not just department policy.

Immediately following the last debate, Obama donor and director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, Helen Jones-Kelly, ordered a check on Wurzelbacher's background claiming, “Our practice is when someone is thrust quickly into the public spotlight, we often take a look.”

Well Joe is mad and I don't blame him. However, the intimidation affects the rest of us regular Joes as much as it does him. Now that his job is toast, I hope he can make up for it in a lawsuit and send a message back for us. Do you think people would be less willing now to get involved in politics after hearing how he is being treated? Wouldn't this affect citizens who are conservative more than those who are liberal?

One Week We Change

Conservativism
In one week, you can pick a candidate who will at least preserve the Constitution that paved the way for the dreams you dared to dream. Or you can pick one who will at once dilute it.

In one week, you can pick a candidate who imperfectly loves his country. Or you can pick one who is perfectly at odds with it.

In one week, you can hand over one of the greatest republics on earth to a candidate who believes in it's inherent integrity. Or you can hand it over to one who believes it is inherently flawed.

Change comes from you, not from a man in an office or behind a curtain. If you want change for the better, change it for the better. Whatever it is. That's why you exist. Never cede your authority, gifts, or treasure to another, as inalienable means not transferable, and that's how YOU are to regard these things. Inalienable rights. They are for your use, your charity, and your profit. And they are precious, too precious to be traded for another man's good idea.

Choose well.

Don't silently let others mishandle the crises you will bear. Make some kind of noise...be heard.
