“This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.”     Abraham Lincoln,    First Inaugural Address, 4 March, 1861

In memory of Charlie Norwood (R-GA)

by Jason Pye

I’ve been a fan of Charlie Norwood since I’ve been paying attention to Congressional politics. He had been a member of Ron Paul’s Liberty Committee, a group of libertarian leaning members of Congress. He was the only Republican member of the Georgia delegation to vote against the 2003 expansion of Medicare. He also voted for 17 of the 19 Flake Amendments last year. Norwood did do things that I disagree with…that is to be expected though.

Norwood’s death put a damper on my day. He was a good guy. He cared for his constituents and had integrity, which is rare in a city that is so corrupt.

Keep the Norwood family in your thoughts and prayers.
