Congressman Tom Feeney (24-Florida) has joined The Liberty Caucus making Congressman Ron Paul's freedom bloc 23 members strong. We are thrilled to have Mr. Feeney as a new member and look forward to working with him and his staff.

Congressman Paul's caucus has two other prospective members. JUDGE JOHN DEVINE and Wes Riddle have committed to joining The Liberty Caucus if they are elected to the U.S. House. Judge Devine is a leading candidate in Texas' new 10th congressional district. Wes Riddle is running against John Carter in Texas' 31st district.

As word of The Liberty Committee spreads, candidates come forward to express their devotion to constitutional principle and pledge to work with The Liberty Committee if elected to Congress. Current caucus members Marilyn Musgrave and Scott Garrett first came to our attention that way. Rep. Musgrave was a state senator in Colorado, and Rep. Garrett was an assemblyman in New Jersey.

Working together, we are making a difference. The Liberty Caucus will continue to grow as word of The Liberty Committee's activities spreads. Despite retirements and term-limits pledges, we have more caucus members than ever before, with the potential to add even more. Right now, we're pleased to welcome Mr. Feeney to The Liberty Caucus.

But Devine is master at dirty campaigning. He's not a decent type Republican. Sorry to have to say that about a man who used to be pretty nice. He has trashed Mike McCaul and Ben Streusand with false accusations and admitted it.

I find it interesting that Paul is endorsing Devine. While Devine is a member of RLC, his position on social issues, at least his campaign position, is very different from the Libertarian view.

Devine should have kept his position as Judge.

I was also surprised to hear Ron Stone endorsing his "good friend and neighbor" John Kelly - who didn't even have answers to general questions in the candidate forum.
