There's plenty of TEETH .. just nobody with guts enough to enforce it .. like all the immigration laws.

And that's exactly the position Thompson seems to be moving to.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

He wants to promote federalism, ending programs that should be handled by the states and curtailing the overreach of the national government.

Holy smokes he just earned my vote...

Thanks for the info -- that's very interesting. His support of CFR is extremely troubling. However, his demonstrated support of federalism is hugely positive.

---"There should, however, be a limit on how much money each individual can put up.
Why? And who gets to decide? How can a $250 donation be protected by the First Amendment, while a $2500 donation is not?

What's needed is full disclosure of contributions - not prohibitions on free speech"---

I propose a compromise: Full disclosure with a donation limit of one trillion dollars per individual.
