Government waste

In a recent news sto­ry it was report­ed that in some areas, Free Speech and Reli­gious free­dom would be cir­cum­vent­ed, (alleged­ly) by the fed­er­al gov­ern­ment.

This is an inter­est­ing news sto­ry.

Sim­ply because we are fac­ing like­ly the worst econ­o­my in more than 50 years and this is how your tax dol­lars are being spent, that is why we need to send a mes­sage in the form of vot­ing.

Vote them out, sim­ple as that.

here is the news sto­ry.  This is real­ly inter­est­ing, because when the chips are down, we see that mon­ey is being wast­ed, and that tax pay­ers are hav­ing to pay to defend what is a con­sti­tu­tion­al right, guar­an­teed by the con­sti­tu­tion.

Accord­ing to Asso­ci­at­ed Press, the set­tle­ment agree­ment lists 50 pro­vi­sions that VA offi­cials agree to adhere to. The VA said in the decree that cer­tain of these pro­vi­sions “are already the pol­i­cy or prac­tice of the depart­ment.”

Some of these actions include no ban­ning or inter­fer­ing with prayers or recita­tions at com­mit­tal ser­vices; agree­ing to not edit or con­trol the con­tent of pri­vate reli­gious speech and expres­sion by speak­ers at spe­cial cer­e­monies or events at the ceme­tery; and agree­ing not to ban reli­gious speech or words such as “God” or “Jesus” in con­do­lence cards or sim­i­lar doc­u­ments giv­en by some of the groups that filed the suit.

The VA also agreed to pay the vet­er­ans groups’ legal fees, which total $215,000. It is not known if Direc­tor Oca­sio has been or will be removed from her posi­tion.

This about this, the tax pay­ers had to spend $215,000.00 to defend what the con­sti­tu­tion spells out in black and white, there is no doubt about free speech or free­dom of reli­gion, there is no con­flict, Church means a body of peo­ple, not a Christ­mas tree, not a sign, not the ten com­mand­ments, none of those things con­sti­tutes a Church.

Yet, we have peo­ple in office that abuse (alleged­ly) their pow­er and force the peo­ple to stand up and be count­ed, the way we are count­ed is by vot­ing, in 2012 use your voice, use your vot­ing pow­er to tell the lib­er­als and those that would ban free­dom of speech and free­dom of reli­gion to get out of pub­lic office if you can­not read and under­stand the con­sti­tu­tion.
