"The last nail is being driven into the coffin of the American republic."

Ron Paul is referring to the National Defense Authorization Act in his arresting speech from the House floor on Wednesday, May 25, 2011. He recounts the dictatorial powers being granted to the presidency, and how the new NDAA will expand them even further - "... a sharp and huge blow to the concept of our Republic."

Dr. Paul covers nearly every important facet of the American fascist empire in a very short period of time.

Here's the roll call vote, sorted by Nay / Aye, taken May 26, 2011. For the Iowa/Illinois Quad Cities -- Iowa congressman Bruce Braley voted No (the only Iowa congressman to vote No) and Illinois congressman Bobby Schilling voted Yes.

Video and transcript of Ron Paul's speech is below.

Today's Third Rail Topic:

Re-Inhabiting the Republic.
Hitting the "Reset" button on the Constitution.
Free association in solidarity, in order to restore the rule of law, rather than the rule of men in America.

That is how I see the efforts of the Republic of the united States of America. And, on the December 04, 2010 show of Common Sense Revisited, the show's founder, Clyde Cleveland, joins me as co-host while we interview and discuss bottom up versus top down with Jim Fitzgerald, from the Arizona Republic, also the National Ambassador for the Republic of the united States of America.

De jure grand juries and the corporate versus common law government are also topics discussed.

Visit www.RepublicofIowa.org for more information.

From the introductory documentation you receive upon signing up for more information at the Republic of Iowa:

The original United States was in operation until 1860: a collection of sovereign Republics in the union. Under the original Constitution the States controlled the Federal Government; the Federal Government had very little authority and only the control grant by the States.

"No one is going to do anything until their ox is gored." - Phil Pozderac

From Truthout.org: For conservatives who go around repeating that more taxes are always equivalent to less individual freedom, two researchers recall Montesquieu's opposite teaching. And demonstrate, with the support of the numbers, that the French philosopher's observation still holds true two and a half centuries later.

My posting to their comments:

When there is an effort to address the mis-information/propaganda campaign to convince America we are a democracy and not a Republic… THIS PODCAST IN THE LINK BELOW is one of the most illuminating dialogs I have heard… Lew Rockwell interviews Naomi Wolf… from Oct 2008… this is 50 minutes of time well spent. I have listened to this numerous times…the comments and perspectives shared here may help inform such a dialog of Republic v Democracy.
