Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) had brokered a deal where "government officials" were to attend. As they got closer to the date, of this meeting, the "officals" backed out."

Sadly it was discovered that Mr. Bartlett had lied from the get-go and had not even scheduled the hearings on the congressional calendar as he promised. His office should be flooded with calls.... but again most people don't give a rip about what's being done to them.

Your just not reaching the right folks.

Remember: 70% of the public continues to clamor for more from government looking for the top 40% of taxpayers to cover the tab.

That ain't the group that Schulz and Co. have any interest in. But Congress does.

Milton Friedman as quoted by Northwest Florida Daily News, 10-16-2000:

Answer?

A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.
-George Bernard Shaw

Liberty and freedom have a price, responsibility. If that price is avoided there are no brakes on the growth of government, the ultimate result is the end of freedom through creeping socialism.
