Florida’s Legislature has passed a law that would prohibit citizens’ initiative petitioners from receiving payment on a per-signature basis. They say it is to prevent fraud against the State. But is that really what they are doing?
But the situation is not hopeless. This is not a “done deal.” Indeed, there is something you can do to prevent universal, intersex/all-gender mandatory conscription. Click here to find out more.
With talk of forcing young people to provide a year of “national service” to the government, why was Paul Jacob offering this exalted congressionally-established Commission advice about their website address? You must watch to discover. Sure, Congress may not be quite on the verge of legislating a mandatory year of national service for those guilty of being young, but Congress is certainly looking into the idea through the National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service. On Thursday, Paul Jacob traveled to American University to address the Commission, where for three minutes he implored them to recognize the not-so-subtle difference between inspiring citizens to serve and enslaving them, forcing citizens to serve. “Forswear any forced service whatsoever,” he urged. “That shouldn’t happen in America.“ Oh, and consider changing your website address. Just watch.
Event: National Commission Hearing on Mandatory Service Policy (second hearing) Date: Thursday, February 21, 2019 Location: American University, Washington College of Law; Claudio Grossman Hall; 4300 Nebraska Ave NW, Washington, D.C., 20016
Paul Jacob would like to thank two great young people (pictured above), Sophia and Marquis, for volunteering to travel with him into Washington. “May they never be robbed of one second of their lives to the enforced designs of Congress … much less a year or two.”
This week, Edward Snowden turned 35 — making him old enough to run for the U.S. presidency next election cycle! (Call that a “Fun Fact.”) But he is stuck in Russia, an exile from the country whose Constitution — and the people whose freedoms — he did more to save than perhaps any politician alive. So in New Hampshire this week, at the Fifteenth Annual Porcupine Freedom Festival, a song was sung and a birthday cake was cut.
Too bad that Ed Snowden couldn’t be there to eat the cake.
