Stay strong Rand! We are all with you despite the odds. Don't compromise 1% of the principle or you lose 100% of the argument. Defend the 4th amendment even if most Americans don't understand. First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you....AND THEN YOU WIN!
We need more men like Jimmy Stewart's character, Jefferson Smith. We need people who will fight for lost causes, and not just just be "yes" people to their party's leadership. We need people who will stand up and fight for what is right.
This movie simply reinforces the common man/woman's belief that politicians GLOBALLY (not just in USA alone) are generally corrupt & certainly not interested for the benefit of the citizens they represent. Its all about power, selfishness, vested interest at the cost of the weaker sections of society.
Politics should not be considered as a luxury to increase personal wealth, rather politics MUST be considered as a RESPONSIBILITY with ACCOUNTABILITY!
Some how I just can tell everybody I really know how Mr. Smith feels. I thought if I could persuade at least some of the Assemblymen and Senators to support a (small) but very important Bill that I’ve been supporting along with the New York State Adoption Reform organization (NYSAR) along with many others, Cont'd
To CDawn1964: I understand your cynicism about the honor of most senators. I would like to recommend you look up Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. There is at least one good person there who has been fighting for the people for years. I agree there are less than we need but maybe more than you think. Keep some hope and support the good ones. Jeff Merkley is also good and so is Al Franken.
Unfortunately Mr. Franken, and Mr. Sanders support, and endorese unconstitutional legislation. You can be a great man of Integrity like Mr. Smith, but if your violating your oath to "defend the constitution of the united states" I don't care how "nice" a guy you are. Unconstitutional is Unconstitutional.
We need more fans of liberty in the house and senate, perfect and best example...Ron Paul. A champion of the Constitution, a legal limited federal government...and INTEGRITY!
Great movie, good job on the video. best scene has to be the bit where he introduced his bill and at first they laughed at him but then they all applauded him. Good stuff
Thank you for your presentation of this scene. I wish someone would put more of this scene on you tube. I like the very dramatic parts when he is speaking with a blood earnestness. I love the song you put to it. I am heading out today to get a new copy of the DVD, as i lost mine.
RON PAUL.
