Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
-William Pitt, British Prime-Minister (1759-1806)

Col. West is in my district, and will have my vote. Met him at the last two gun shows here in Ft. Laud. His district,(not drawn by him), covers a portion of Palm Beach County as well. aka FQ country ;).... The way districts are drawn is a freakin joke. Just ask Pelosi, or Rangel.
 
The House seats, are a tough nut to crack in entrenched districts, drawn that way for a reason, "rig the game".....

HOPEFULLY, enough voters turn out, act like Americans, and get the incumbents out, give others a try, and try to hit the reset button on the current fiasco.



Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."
Col. Jeff Cooper.

Actually, its funny you should mention that. He would have my vote if he were in my district. Instead, I get stuck with Alcee Hastings. Still, the way the districts were drawn is illustrative. Its what happens when the GOP makes deals with the left wing of the Democrats. The idea was to create "minority majority" districts which would insure a (Dem) black rep and act as affirmative action. The flip side, was that the white voters had to go somewhere, so the GOP got safe suburban districts. Both parties won at the expense of citizens who naively think that the county should be in the same district rather than divided into 5 parts with its power dilluted, just to serve someone else's political agenda. >:(

I like that man.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
