Heller that established the “right of an individual to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, but rather the power of the NRA on its members, Congress, and many politicians across the country.

Because of you, companies are already scrambling to disassociate themselves from the NRA. Best of all, it is becoming deliciously obvious with each passing day that politicians have finally – finally – met their match.
Proposition L: Nevius Makes Case
Against Sit/Lie Proposition?
October 01, 2010 | No Comments
Putting aside the legality and fairness of a sit/lie law, the past failure to prosecute quality of life citations raises the question as to why we need Proposition L, now on the November ballot. If passed, who says those citations would be prosecuted any differently. Or put another way, if quality of life violations were prosecuted now, what is the rationale for a sit/lie law?

September 27, 2010 | No Comments
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger today signed AB 1601 by Assemblymember Jerry Hill (D-San Mateo), which authorizes judges to revoke, for up to ten years, the license of any person convicted of three or more DUIs in a 10-year period.

Iraq War Hoax
September 24, 2010 | 2 Comments
George W. Bush and his minions intentionally built a case for war with Iraq without regard to factual evidence. They took advantage of the public’s hysteria over the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to authorize an invasion and occupation of Iraq with no evidence that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Remember Scott Ritter, a chief United Nations weapons inspector in Iraq from 1991 to 1998, who publicly argued that Iraq possessed no significant WMDs? Similarly, Hans Martin Blix, the head of the United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission from March 2000 to June 2003, searched Iraq for WMDs, ultimately finding none.
