Commonsense Constitution Safety Laws

The American flag, Constitution and other “props” are no longer allowed to be used during the public portion of Township Council meetings under a new ordinance that also limits the time residents have to address the governing body. [More]

It’s a clown show over there, all the way around.

Yes, That’s a ‘No’

U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, reintroduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, legislation that would require individuals to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing or receiving a firearm.
