Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Nancy Pelosi Wants to Change First Amendment
This is from an article posted from the Blaze, titled: Nancy Pelosi Wants to Change First Amendment to Allow Regulation of Corporate Speech
Basically, the Democrats are puting forth the notion that the First Amendment is an indiviudual right and not a corporate or organizational right. Corporations, businesses, organizations, etc. are all people. With the Democrats proposal, we would see a tool that they could use against individual speaking for corporations and talking (or writing for that matter) against Democrat core beliefs,...socialism, rob the rich to pay the entitlement crowd, anti-Christian values, etc.
The bill in question is called the “Peoples’ Rights Amendment,” and its goal is to explicitly allow Congress to regulate corporate speech however it wants:
Section 1. We the people who ordain and establish this Constitution intend the rights protected by this Constitution to be the rights of natural persons.
Section 2. People, person, or persons as used in this Constitution does not include corporations, limited liability companies or other corporate entities established by the laws of any state, the United States, or any foreign state, and such corporate entities are subject to such regulation as the people, through their elected state and federal representatives, deem reasonable and are otherwise consistent with the powers of Congress and the States under this Constitution.
Section 3. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit the people’s rights of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, free exercise of religion, and such other rights of the people, which rights are inalienable.
Here are some quotes of the bill’s sponsors trying their best to explain the rationale behind the bill:
Rep. Jim McGovern (D.-Mass.): “I‘ve introduced a People’s Rights Amendment, which is very simple and straightforward,...it would make clear that all corporate entities, for-profit and non-profit alike, are not people with constitutional rights.
It treats all corporations, including incorporated unions and nonprofits, in the same way, as artificial creatures of the state that we, the people, govern, not the other way around.”
Rep. Donna Edwards (D.-Md.): "In Citizens United, what the court said is that Congress has no authority to regulate this kind of political speech, and so all of these constitutional amendments go to this question of giving Congress the authority that the Supreme Court, I think wrongly, decided isn‘t within Congress’s constitutional–our constitutional purview.”
I could see if now,...talk show radio commentators, such as Makr Levin, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh all could be shut down because they work for radio corporations, which have no free speech rights.
It is crazy what the Dems are suggesting, but I am thankful they have exposed themselves for what they are,....Anti-Constitutionalists.

Obamacare: Pass It To Find Out What's In It
Remember when Nacny Pelosi urged the passing of the Obamacare Legislation in order it find out what's in it? Who can forget? This was a pivotal moment in American Government when all doubt was removed about the inmates running the asylum. Judge Kithil of Marble Falls, Texas - highlighted several completly egregious pages of HB 3200.
Page 50/section 152:
The bill will provide insurance to all non-U.S. Residents, even if they are here illegally.
Page 58 and 59:
The government will have real-time access to an Individual's' bank account and will have the authority to make Electronic fund transfers from those accounts.
Page 65/section 164:
The plan will be subsidized (by the Government) for all union members, union retirees and for Community organizations (such as the Association Of Community Organizations for Reform Now - ACORN). Remember when Obama granted waivers and allocated grants to Nebraska and Louisiana to get delegations from those States to vote for Obamacare? In otherwords a bribe, and a thinly disguished one at that. Since then Obama has direct that hundreds of wiavers be granted to special interest groups that write checks to the Democratic campgain coffers.
Page 203/line 14-15:
The tax imposed under this section will not be treated as a tax. (How could anybody in their right mind come up with that?) Yet, the Adminstration's lawyers argue before the Supreme Court that this is a tax!
Page 241 and 253:
Doctors will all be paid the same regardless of specialty, and the government will set all Doctors's fees.
Page 272. Section 1145:
Cancer hospital will ration care according to the patient's age. At age 76 you are not eligible for cancer treatment.
Page 317 and 321:
The government will impose a prohibition on hospital expansion; however, communities may petition for an exception.
Page 425, line 4-12:
The government mandates advance-care planning consultations. Those on Social Security will be required to attend an "end-of-life planning" seminar every five years. (This is the infamous "Death Counseling")
Page 429, line 13-25:
The government will specify which doctors can write an end-of-life order.
Finally, it is specifically stated that this bill will not apply to Members of Congress. Members of Congress are already Exempt from the Social Security system, and have a well-funded Private plan that covers their retirement needs. If they were on our Social Security plan, I believe they would find a very quick 'fix' to make the plan financially sound for their future."

Nope! No Need for Voter ID Laws in the U.S.
You can't have a debate with someone if you are debating one thing and they are debating something else. Such is the tactics of the Left when it comes to all things, but in particular, the Voter ID issue.
Reasonable people believe that since you have to have an ID to purchase medication, drive a car, write checks, buy a house and do thousands of other common things,...that mandating that people who vote in elections should be required to have a picture identification is a reasonable requirements and one that will help protect the voting process against fraud. Especially since voter fraud continue to become a large problem in this country. Reports of some counties with 10,767 votes for a Democrat in a county with a total population of 8,143 are rampant.
Reasonable people argue that an ID is practical and non-invasive. Democrats however argue that this is a racist mandate designed to keep the poor black, hispanic folk and people on welfare down and eliminate their voting rights. And I thought you had to have a ID to cash welfare checks. Plus, who say's black and hispanic's are pre-diposed not to have ID? Many states are making a State ID very easy and cheap (if not free) to faciliate the integrity of the voting process.
Anyway, the video below highlights this issue.
