"Walter" is a nice man and has his heart in the right place. He takes this country seriously. Very nice. "The Liberty Caucus." (click here) I thought so. There is Senator Paul. This Caucus has been around for a long time.
Founded in 1991, it is the oldest continuously-operating organization within the Liberty Republican movement.
Because we are a 100% grassroots organization and elections are one of the primary reasons our members attend our biennial convention, I thought it important to make the membership aware of this important development.
The Liberty Caucus is not playing with issues important to the people.

Over at Cato’s Police Misconduct website, (click here) we have identified the worst case for the month of September. This one goes to the Chicago Police Department, and, in particular, to the officers responsible for arresting George Roberts....
The Freedom Caucasus is new, brand new.

House GOP conservatives (click here) announced a new "Freedom Caucus" on Monday to split from the Republican Study Committee (RSC) after complaints that it had become too cozy with leadership.
The nine founding members of the group have been frequent thorns in the side of House GOP leadership over the past four years. Many of them voted against giving John Boehner (R-Ohio) another term as Speaker earlier this month....
They are the folks that refuse to governor, but, only oppose.
The GOP is very divided. The only comparison I have is to state, the Democrats are divided as well, but, the caucuses get along to move forward the business of the people.
The Freedom Caucus doesn't seem to have their own website. Here it is again. Their agenda is their only focus. They are hardliners that haven't learned what power is. They believe their objection to everything is to be the only outcomes.

A conservative lawmaker publicly (click here) resigned from the House Freedom Caucus on Wednesday, and criticized the group's tactics — including its demands that funds for Planned Parenthood be blocked as part of a bill to keep the government open.
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) said that the tactics employed by the Freedom Caucus "have repeatedly undermined the House’s ability to advance them."
Besides the Planned Parenthood fight, he cited as examples the fight over funding the Department of Homeland Security earlier this year, and battles over the fast-track trade package and the Iran nuclear deal.
The fight over Planned Parenthood risks a government shutdown on Oct. 1 — it is unclear how the House GOP will move a spending bill given the demands from conservative lawmakers.
McClintock said the Freedom Caucus's strategy has ultimately empowered Democrats by making it harder for House Republicans to control the legislative process....
They flail around trying to find a foot hold and ultimately obstruct the business of the people. This is a list of the members from Wikipedia. I expected to see Steve Scalise. He is not listed.
They don't understand power and they don't accept leadership. That is the problem and they are chronically throwing obstruction into the process and nothing gets done. They put their party first and dissolve any obligation to the people of this country.
This country is not made up of 38 House districts. The members of Congress have a responsibility to this entire country. Each person in each district is important. The people expect Congress to function. The Freedom Caucus is too divisive.
