Senator Craig: We have thrown out the Constitution

Keep in mind I am a Libertarian and could give two tails of a rat's cheeks as to whether or not he really did it. The issue is Constitutional privileges of Senators and Representatives

Article One Section Six states that:

The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.

reference the part
They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same

Senator Craig was arrested just after 12 noon 11th of June. He cast a vote on a high-profile cloture motion on the Senate floor at 5:55 p.m. that same day. Was it grandstanding? Maybe but he at the same point at this juncture is protected in passage to the Session of Congress.

Since it was a misdemeanor by Constitutional principle and privilege he could not be arrested and therefore is innocent not to mention the fact that the interview that was recorded and released to the public was in fact invalid and illegally released to the public. His rights as a citizen were probably violated as it was a case of entrapment and over zealous police work.

I think Senator Craig should be ashamed of the fiasco that this has all caused the country but he is innocent, guilty of no crime, according to the Constitution of the United States of America.

Message from Robert Fuller 5th District Libertarian Candidate For City Council

Libertarian Robert Fuller Responds
To City Council’s Latest Maneuvers:

I believe this is City Councils way of a last ditch effort to retain their office and they are running scared; and in doing so, taking the rights of candidates to spread their message of another way of doing business in this wonderful city we all love and call home.

Sam Talarico properly stated that if, "you are new candidate you can't afford billboards, you can't afford direct mail, you can get 250 signs made and get your name out," 'The amendment now will allow city employees to take down illegal signs and destroy them. The poster could also face a $50 fine.' Where is the fifty dollars collected per item assigned to go? By this proposed amendment to the sign ordinance, those who oppose the current Council members can't use the same tactics they used when they were elected.

Some of us have taken the time to actually walk our entire districts twice over and still have not met all of our constituents. In every tour of my future District of service for the people, I have encountered multiple situations where people were just not home or not able to talk with me at the time. Therefore, the signs are a primary source of reaching those we have not spoken to in person. Certain candidates have chosen to make this a race over money and prestige rather than truly getting to know the people they potentially will represent. We can't all afford radio and television air time, to which, all we have left to get our message across is our signs and fliers.

So who is wronged here? The people are, because they all are not able to be made aware of all options before they vote! It is a proven fact that the incumbent City Council members had and still has such signs posted in certain areas and just like the incumbent council is serving in gerrymandered districts to improve their individual outcomes on election day, this is a attack on the civic discourse and civil liberties of all candidates and the people.

My incumbent opponent in the 5th District, Tim Pape, attempted to illustrate the use of signs as cop out for not, going "to front doors,...(getting) on the phone rather than just plastering your name in the right-of-way," As a matter of environmental concern, sticking a rack card on a door (rather than handing them directly to a resident) that will just get thrown away or discarded on the ground, like a pizza place door hanger, is more of a nuisance than a sign that is posted in a right of way that directs them to a website to find out more information from each of the candidates.

These signs are a great avenue of simple communication of ideas in the marketplace without spending enormous amounts of money and littering our skyline with gigantic billboards. Elections should be about who can serve the people better not whom can raise and spend the most money!

Council Member Dr. John Crawford declared emphatically, "It's always been against the law to put signs in the right-of-way, but it's never been enforced,"

If the law has always been on the books that means that every incumbent member has also violated the ordinance. I would like to know are the incumbent members going to pay the fine for past and current transgressions of the ordinance. Why are they in such a rush to get it done before November except to hamper their opposition and the people from making an informed decision?


Respectfully,



Mr. Robert Fuller,
Libertarian Candidate,
5th District,
City Council of Fort Wayne

In other news we find that Dr. D. James Kennedy one of the right wings most coddled and vocal mouth piece of hatred has entered the eternal rotisserie of hell, as some people have described it. I will actually miss the old withered pussy face on Sunday Mornings in between my news and politics shows. We have to remember at least we knew where he stood on the issues, we don't know where his successors will stand or how much more crass and vocal they might become.

On the other hand it will be interesting to watch the Presbyterians and fundamentalists go through a canonization process since they don't believe in that Catholic sort of thing, lol.

First Fairthewell and now Kenacious D who will be next Couch Cushion or Gargamel? For those who dont understand Christain Television Corporations Personalities that I was referring to: Jerry Fallwell, D. James Kennedy, Paul Crouch (TBN), and Garthie Koontz (TCT). Is Oral Roberts or Mamma Angelica still alive?
