Dems Push For End To All Federal Death Penalty Legislation - Including Treason and Terror Attacks

The Boston bombing will not be a death penalty offense under new bill introduced by Democrats

Democrats in the House of Representitives, led by Maryland Rep Donna Edwards, are pushing to effectively remove the death penalty for any offense under Federal Law.   These include, but are not limited to treason, espionage, kidnapping and assassination of the President, Vice President, or member of Congress, murder via torture, mass murder using WMD's (including chemical and biological), child abuse, war crimes, or kidnappings.
The bill, H.R. 3741, is a wet dream for those who want to assassinate government officials, kill large numbers of people with dirty bombs, or to permanently silence witnesses. Thats right! Under this ridiculous, and dangerous bill, killing the star witness against you would now be just another run of the mill crime.

Rep. Donna Edwards (D-MD)

So who is this Donna Edwards?  She is a hard left Democrat who is in a safe gerrymandered district (No Republican has gotten more than 25% of the vote since the district was redrawn in 1990).  She is a former community activist/organizer (imagine that!).  She has a perfect 100% score from both NARAL and Planned Parenthood. She boasts a 0% score from the Club for Growth. She scores an "F" or 0% on 2nd Amendment issues, and Vietnam Veterans Assoc., and Iraq/Afghanistan Veterans advocacy groups score her at 0%. (Full list of Positions)
Leftists, starting with the President, are full speed ahead in the their quest for power.  They see this as their moment to crush conservatism in this country for generations, and to do as Obama promised in 2008 - to fundamentally dismantle and transform the United States of America into the Marxist/socialist utopia they think it should be.
The GOP leadership in the House and Senate under Boehner, McConnell and the rest have already conceded defeat.
It is now up to grassroots conservatives and libertarians to come together and stand up against what is going to be a fight against both the leftists and marxists on the democrat side, and the neo-statists in the GOP.

Trickle-Down Subjugation: Maryland Residents Drenched with Tax on Rainfall

EPA Mandates Cow Spineless State Reps Into Taxing Rainfall

  

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street 

If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat 

If you get too cold I'll tax the heat 

If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet  

Now my advice for those who die 

Declare the pennies on your eyes 

'Cause I'm the taxman 

Yeah, I'm the taxman  

And you're working for no one but me   

George Harrison - Taxman 

Just when you thought that the government couldn't get any more intrusive into the everyday lives of Americans, comes the news that the Governor of Maryland has signed a bill imposing a tax on the amount of rain that falls on your home.  You read that right.  Maryland's residents are now responsible for the amount of water that nature drops on their property. 

The new tax is the reaction of the state to a mandate by the Environmental Protection Agency's arbitrary 2017 deadline to cleanup the Cheseapeake Bay estuary or face a stiff $14.8B fine.  This is exactly the kind of legislation you see when you have a federal agency, staffed with enviro-Marxists, which has been unconstitutionally delegated dictatorial power to write laws and impose fines on virtually everyone, from state governments, to businesses, to private citizens.  EPA regulations cost 5% of the U.S. gross domestic product, or more than defense and Homeland security combined.

God forbid there is another hurricane along the Eastern seaboard.  With taxes expected to average about $100/yr for normal annual rainfall, what is going to be the tax impact on Maryland's citizens when the state is hit by the inevitable Nor'easter or some other so-called "superstorm".  Maryland citizens could be whacked on all sides - home repairs/rebuilding, cleanup of debris, and oh yeah, a huge tax bill for the extra multiple feet of water which destroyed their property in the first place.

Even George Harrison didn't see rainfall as one of the lengths the government is willing to go to, to confiscate wealth and subjugate its people.

Thomas Jefferson said "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent."  The people of Maryland should be screaming at the top of their lungs at this outrage!
