Sadly, it is all too true. I can't believe that Republican Bob Smith introduced this legislation, and Republicans went along with Democrats to pass it in such a shameful, sneaky way.

If this is the unvarnished truth, I am scratching my head about why DemonRats didn't control the Senate a long, long time ago. I'll look into this a bit, and reserve my condemnation of this Repub wolf in sheep's clothing. If true, those taterheads up there need to unseat this goofy bastard.

"The Senator would have preferred to see more debate on the bill. But no Senator stepped forward to place a hold or seek debate."

IF Crapo wanted more debate on the bill, then WHY didn't HE protect Idaho and step forward and say "whoa, let's take a look at this." ??? WHY did he allow this Land Grab to be sneaked through the Senate by Unanimous Consent in the dark of nite after most Senators had left town in December 20???

One thing I still recall from Civics class is that while the Senators and Congressmen are representative of their constituents interests, that interest must be tempered by the interests of the rest of the populous throughout the land; indeed that was the reason for the greatness of the American governance. While that is extremely idealistic, I believe that the past forty years has seen a total balkanization of interests in Congress, to where the only interests they serve is their own.

Declaration of Independence needs to be re-presented to these clowns.

The people have got to be ready to back it up. Freedom has to live in the hearts of the people, before we will be able to turn things around. Unfortunately, most Americans are all too willing to give it up.

For your Info:

How did "Son of CARA" sneak thru?

The bad guys won a round in the United States Senate late Thursday night, as Senate Bill 990 - S. 990 - the "Son of CARA" - was approved. S. 990 is a $600 million per year land grab, much smaller than the Big Daddy "CARA" Land Grab legislation also being considered by Congress.

QUESTION: What happened? What was the vote? Who voted with us and against? Who spoke out during debate?

ANSWER: There was no vote. There were no amendments. There was no debate.

It happened in the dark of night, on the final day of the 2001 session of Congress, when other business was finished and many Senators had already left the Capitol.

Senator Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, working with Senator Bob Smith, Republican of New Hampshire, brought S. 990 to the floor of a nearly empty Senate chamber. Reid asked for "Unanimous Consent" that the bill be approved on the spot, with no debate, no amendments and no recorded vote.

ALL Senators had been notified just a few days before that Reid would make a Unanimous Consent request - and NONE, not even one Senator, stuck around to defend private property rights!

If even ONE, just ONE Senator had objected, then consideration of S 990 would have been put off for several weeks. Amendments and debate would have been allowed, and a recorded vote taken.

How did this happen? Two reasons:

Yes, Crapo is a Republican. I should have made that clear. It is really all about the Pubs turning on us, when we, the rural backbone of America, voted them in. Not that we had much choice.

Thanks for the post. One more time it is proven that Republicans cannot be counted on when the chips are down to support the interest of the small farmer, rancher, or property owner against the liberal, politically correct tide. How about a veto by GWB? Not in this life.

Regards
