    You do realize you can get sued for posting a person's personal phone number and other info online without their permission right?

    Dave Perry included his contact information at the tail end of his article. Can he sue me for reprinting information he has posted himself? I doubt it. He obviously wants reader feedback and I'm helping him get it.

    Anyway, he wants to send American citizens to Guatanamo because they exercised their First Amendment rights to defend the Second Amendment.

    Do you support that point of view?

    No, but there are plenty of far right gun nuts that do, when it comes to people they disagree with. People like you tend to conveniently ignore it when people you support do something bad, and only call out those you do not support. You are especially bad about this.

    hyperbolic, but otherwise I actually do have to agree with Perry. Lobbiests shouldn't have that much power, it's disrupting the political process.

    I have been wanting to see a law that states that any conmgressman who takes political donations from a corporation or special interest is barred from sitting on voting on, wriitng, or sitting on committees for any law that effects those groups.

    For example, a republican who takes money from an oil company would not be allowed to play a part in the writing of laws that would ban subsidies to oil companies, and would not be allowed to vote on whether the law is passed or not.

    We take away a congressman's ability to do political favors for their backers.

    Right, because Congress should do whatever the hell it wants, and the American people shouldn't have the right to have anything to say about it?

    Sorry, but the First Amendment includes the right to petition Congress -- that means the right to communicate to Congressmen.

    But you have no problem with the unions dumping money into the pockets of Democrats.

    Unions are special interests moron. They would be banned like anyone else.

    YOU, on the other hand, HAVE called for unions to be banned from giving donations, while defending the rights of corporations to give them.

    Doesn't sound to bad. I would rather make everything as transparent as possible, including donations before the election is done with.

    You agree that 5 million NRA members should be sent to Guantanamo?

    1. No, everyone should have the right to petition to congress, my problem is that this is flat out against the will of the people, and they're voting for special intresets.
    2. No, I hate that too. It's special intresets,

    No. I wouldn't want that at all.

    Actually, no I have not said that. But if you can find a link where I said that, let me know. But you won't find that link, because I never said it.

    However, I don't believe union members should be forced to pay that portion of dues that are used for campaign donations.

    And I don't think anyone should be forced to join a union as a condition of working.

    But you believe that the executives of a corporation should be allowed to use corporate money, without the permission of all stockholders and give it to politicians.

    This editor has officially gone crazy and I really think he should be fired from his job for suggesting that 5 million Americans are "terrorists" and "kidnappers" who should be sent to Guatanamo. So I suggest we all call his newspaper the Aurora Sentinel, and let them know how we feel.

    Shareholders have a recourse, because they can elect a new board of directors if they don't like what the board is doing. Or, as individuals, they can sell their shares.

    Their personal numbers, yes you can.

    And members of a union can elect new union leaders, or they can leave the union. I do not see a difference.

    A public figure has the same rights a politician has, which are few....I figure the idiot deserves any grief his Nazi like opinion creates.

    This is an office number of a journalist who posted it for the world to see at the tail end of an article wherein he suggests that 5 million Americans who belong to the NRA are "terrorists" and "kidnappers" and should be sent to Guatanamo.

    He is not going to sue me, and if he does, fine, I will be glad to defend myself in court against this total lunatic.

    A worker who loses his job if he quits the union has no choice about being a member of the union, and if he disagrees with his union's political activities, he should not be required to pay for it.

    The California State Bar was recently forced to give California lawyers an exemption from paying for its lobbying activities, and I always take that exemption.

    My guess is that most people didn't read the editorial nor didn't understand it. This is hilarious....Swift is not only spinning in his grave but laughing all the way.

    Does that include thinly-veiled bribery? AIPAC, for example, is powerful enough that it can influence a politician's career prospects. Political parties should have a cap on their funding, ban negative commercials, have an equal amount of air time.

    I sent him a nice email letting him know he should read up on due process. I also called and left him a voice mail. I think it's way past time we start telling these people just what nuts they are.

    Clearly he wants attention, I say let's give it to him.

    You can also get his extension from the company directory. It simply transferred me. So unfortunately, I cannot simply type out the extension here.
