RESPONSE ACTION NETWORK 05/02/2015


Response Action Network The images of rioting and destruction coming out of Baltimore have riveted the nation. But there's something else going on in the city that hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Consider this image, taken by ABC News photographer Van Applegate . . .

Homeland Security Secretary Utterly Ignorant of Fourth Amendment
Response Action Network If we needed proof that some people in the federal government don't understand (nevermind follow) the Constitution, we present the example of Jeh Johnson, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security:
Johnson, a man with sweeping power to invade the property rights and privacy of every American using judge-less warrants to search and seize records, has a Fourth Amendment problem . . .

Response Action Network The Clinton Foundation is being forced to refile five years worth of tax returns because "mistakes were made" in how it represented grants from foreign and government sources:
The Clinton Foundation's acting chief executive admitted on Sunday that the charity had made mistakes on how it listed government donors on its tax returns and said it was working to make sure it does not happen in the future . . .

Response Action Network The only avowed socialist in Congress, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, is tossing his hat into the ring against Hillary:
"People should not underestimate me," Sanders told The Associated Press. "I've run outside of the two-party system, defeating Democrats and Republicans, taking on big-money candidates and, you know, I think the message that has resonated in Vermont . . .

Response Action Network Out on the campaign trail, Republican contenders like Sen. Ted Cruz are calling for the abolition of the IRS. Senator Rand Paul wants congressional term limits and would junk the Patriot Act. How are such ideas going over with the Republicans in Congress? Not well at all:
Freed from the need to build coalitions to pass legislation, Paul and fellow GOP senators Cruz and Rubio are unleashing an arsenal of crowd-pleasing conservative proposals along the campaign trail. Some, like calls to abolish entire federal departments, are staples of GOP presidential campaigns . . .
