First of all, I don't favor pornography and obscenity but I am against this future bill especially the proposed method to "ram it" through without discussion/debate like the Real ID Act went through this past Winter/Spring in the House.

I hate to say this, first I have been a loyal Republican for many years and financially supported them as well but in 2006, they will not get my vote. My vote will likely go to third party like the Libertarian or even Democrat. The Republican Congress has lost touch such as no longer emphasizing small government and little interference in the affairs of states.

They have not been as aggressive in cutting taxes, unnecessary departments and especially deficit spending. Besides the interference in individual state affairs, this has been the most disappointing part. One plus however is the steps towards eliminating the inheritance tax. That is long overdue.

One thing if I had a say in writing the Constitution is having a third checkpoint besides the Senate & House in approving laws. The last stop before a bill becomes law would require approval of the People as in a "vote" which would be possible today. To make it simple, all bills passed in a given year would be voted on at one time but this also requires an educated public.
