Homestead mailing list

[bobf <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

Not much, he never gets enough co-sponsors for his bills to go anywhere.  He 
is outside the mainstream of 'both' parties.  The only thing that makes him a 
factor at all is his ability to bring media attention to matters. 

 I don't know why he was a 'no vote'.  maybe he wasn't in D.C.  It's not like 
his one vote changed anything.  He has a lot on his plate with the banking 
mess.  He has a new resolution right now to abolish the Fed; how many 
co-sponsors do you think he will have?  At least he is speaking up for the 
Constitution as much as he can on as many issues as he can.  But, he is 
certainly not the answer, by himself.

By the way, I don't know if he even advocates the "bank run' idea.  Sometimes 
the people from 'Campaign for Liberty' do things without his approval.  He 
doesn't seem to mind.
