Anything is good that puts criminal godvernment's many TREASONS right in-your-face -- especially the mindless masses of brain-dead sheeple. Political hacks haunting the HoRs and syndicate/senate must be held accountable for their TREASONS. Right now, they commit crimes at will. We The People suffer under a federal mafia. It's not a gov't OF the People, BY the People and FOR the People. Not nowadays.
