The Freedom Bulletin

You probably heard this already, but in case you didn’t, Court TV reported that Ed and Elaine Brown never voluntarily agreed to go along with the feds; they were tricked! The sneaky federal agents pretended to be supporters of the Browns, and the Browns let them into their compound. Before they knew who their guests were, Ed and Elaine were in custody. I must say, the feds were very clever, but it’s still a shame that the Browns were arrested.

As expected, President Bush vetoed a bill that would pour large amounts of government money into providing health insurance for kids who have too much money to qualify for Medicaid and other government-sponsored programs. I completely agree with the president’s veto. The only thing I would have done differently was publicize the decision more – Bush vetoed the bill behind closed doors without inviting any media representatives or encouraging fanfare. I wish Bush has showed more pride in his decision, as he did when he vetoed the stem cell research bill. At the moment, the Senate has enough votes to override the president’s veto, but the House does not. I hope it stays that way and that socialized medicine in this country is not expanded.
