Everyone makes mistakes. Of course not everyone’s mistakes get front page of the York Dispatch. I, Dave Moser, missed one post-election campaign report filing. While I certainly wouldn’t call it a major real estate investment with Kevin Schreiber and the York RDA, I will own it none the less. Hopefully it does not come with too many ordinance-imitating-restriction-clauses on it.
The House of Representatives is not back in session until January 17th, and the Senate not until January 23rd. A nice break for the people. We cannot lose any more of our liberties while they are away! One of my inspirations into becoming more informed and active in politics died a few days before Christmas. Ron Smith of WBAL in Baltimore was a true independent and was the most well informed, well read, principled radio talk show host that I have ever heard. Rest in peace “The Voice of Reason.” He always felt that the best we could hope for in the U.S. Congress was gridlock. One party being the “stupid party,” and the other, the “evil party.” Bipartisanship was considered both stupid and evil. A cynical view certainly, but until things change, and we vote for someone outside the two party dichotomy, perhaps gridlock is the best we can hope for.
The fight for the 19th Congressional District has now become the fight for the 4th! Governor Corbett signed the bill into law from the Pennsylvania legislature just days before Christmas. The new 4th District still includes all of Adams and York Counties and loses parts of Cumberland County, but it now also adds all of Harrisburg City.
Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope that you can find the time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some of your time during the busy holiday season. Decorating, buying presents, preparing dinners, and everything else that goes with this time of year should emphasize what is really important – spending time with your family and friends. I also want to wish everyone a happy and healthy new year that is filled with hope that our government can be returned to a limited, constitutional one, and that our long lost liberties can be returned to us.
Penn. representatives have subjected ordinary Americans to military detention under NDAAOn Tuesday Nov 29th the Us Senate voted down a provision (provision 1031) meant to modify the yet-to-be-approved-by-Senate National Defense Authorization Act(NDAA)/ S.1867 The NDAA already passed the house as H.R. 1540 This provision at it’s core would have prevented the U.S. Military (which Canada and the U.N. can “legally” take command of in certain loosely defined circumstances) from detaining citizens of these united states labeled (without proof) terrorism suspects on U.S. soil and hold them indefinitely without trial. Powers currently “provided for” by the NDAA.
