Dear Jonathan, You've heard the news. Last week, I announced I will not seek re-election to Congress and will instead focus on my Presidential campaign. I believe that you and I have an unprecedented opportunity to restore our nation's prosperity and rein in big government. We can WIN the Republican nomination for President, and I believe now is the time we can take the White House in November 2012. With the August 13 Iowa Straw Poll fast approaching, I'm counting on your support to help me finish strong and add to our increasing momentum. Because the Iowa Straw Poll is so important, my supporters are holding a Money Bomb on Tuesday, July 19. And the truth is, it couldn't have come at a better time. You see, my campaign's first TV ad is now on the air in Iowa and New Hampshire and is making an enormous impact. In fact, one recent Iowa poll confirmed what I've been seeing on the ground for weeks. My campaign is growing incredibly, and I'm now within striking distance of first place! But to keep this ad running - and pay for the critical direct mail, radio, and other marketing it will take for my campaign to surge to the lead - it's vital I have your support! So won't you agree to make a generous contribution to my campaign by visiting www.RonPaul2012.com on Tuesday, July 19? It's crucial that you do so. You see, right now, all eyes are on Iowa.. And unlike other polls, the August 13 Iowa Straw Poll isn't one the media can spend weeks hyping and then simply dismiss. The Iowa Straw Poll has always been a crucial bellwether for the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses. It can turn a candidate into an instant contender - or CRUSH any hope of future success with a poor showing. This year, the Iowa Straw Poll is more important than ever. Right now, many GOP voters are desperately searching for a candidate who can go toe-to-toe with President Obama. They want someone who can lead this country back to prosperity - with a consistent record of standing on principle to back up his actions. I firmly believe that once voters take the time to learn about the issues and look at all the candidates, they'll see that my record as a constitutional conservative is unmatched. Columnists, TV pundits, talk radio hosts, and other national media commentators are all looking to the Iowa Straw Poll to see which candidate or candidates have what it takes to win. And with my record of NEVER toeing the establishment line, I am the LAST candidate they want to acknowledge as a top contender. So I'm counting on you to help me send shockwaves throughout the national political establishment with a strong finish at the Iowa Straw Poll. The good news is, they can't ignore us for long. That's because the momentum is ours. My campaign will only get stronger as the weeks and months progress. A strong showing on August 13 is our chance to show that my campaign has the organization and the message to not only stand toe-to-toe with any opponent, but to win this race. And if you and I can capitalize on a top-tier finish in the Straw Poll with a massive blitz of campaign stops, media interviews, and paid ads, we'll be laying the groundwork for a WIN in the Iowa caucuses and will build on serious momentum in other key states. With your support, I believe we can continue shocking the political establishment and force them to recognize I'm a top-tier contender for the Republican nomination. So I'll hope you'll agree to make a generous contribution at www.RonPaul2012.com on July 19. I'm in this race to win, but I need the help of freedom-loving grassroots patriots to make that happen. Thank you so much for all you do to advance the freedom message. For Liberty, Ron Paul P.S. I'm sure you've heard the news that I'm not seeking re-election to Congress. Instead, I'm focusing on my campaign for President. And with the Iowa Straw Poll fast approaching, it's vital I have your support. I hope I can count on you to visit www.RonPaul2012.com during the July 19 Money Bomb and make a donation to my campaign. Together, I'm convinced we can win!

MDC or anyone else please tell me what view Ron Paul has that makes him "crazy". Thanks in advance.

Cain did well last night, but that does not change the fact that he is a bankers minion at heart. He also has tons and tons of stuff out there where he supported and pushed for the TARP. No thanks to a big government bank shrill for president. Ron Paul 2012

America's last hope. I'm all in for Ron Paul 2012.

What exactly makes him a nutcase? I've never understood that claim.

....without a discussion on it. He then sends this letter to his fellow Senators. What a hero he is turning out to be. Dear Colleague: James Otis argued against general warrants and writs of assistance that were issued by British soldiers without judicial review and that did not name the subject or items to be searched. He condemned these general warrants as “the worst instrument of arbitrary power, the most destructive of English liberty and the fundamental principles of law, that ever w[ere] found in an English law book.” Otis objected to these writs of assistance because they “placed the liberty of every man in the hands of every petty officer.” The Fourth Amendment was intended to guarantee that only judges—not soldiers or policemen—would issue warrants. Otis’ battle against warrantless searches led to our Fourth Amendment guarantee against unreasonable government intrusion. My main objection to the PATRIOT Act is that searches that should require a judge’s warrant are performed with a letter from an FBI agent—a National Security Letter (“NSL”). I object to these warrantless searches being performed on United States citizens. I object to the 200,000 NSL searches that have been performed without a judge’s warrant. I object to over 2 million searches of bank records, called Suspicious Activity Reports, performed on U.S. citizens without a judge’s warrant. As February 28th approaches, with three provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act set to expire, it is time to re-consider this question: Do the many provisions of this bill, which were enacted in such haste after 9/11, have an actual basis in our Constitution, and are they even necessary to achieve valid law-enforcement goals? The USA PATRIOT Act, passed in the wake of the worst act of terrorism in U.S. history, is no doubt well-intentioned. However, rather than examine what went wrong, and fix the problems, Congress instead hastily passed a long-standing wish list of power grabs like warrantless searches and roving wiretaps. The government greatly expanded its own power, ignoring obvious answers in favor of the permanent expansion of a police state. It is not acceptable to willfully ignore the most basic provisions of our Constitution—in this case—the Fourth and First Amendments—in the name of “security.” For example, one of the three provisions set to expire on February 28th—the “library provision,” section 215 of the PATRIOT Act—allows the government to obtain records from a person or entity by making only the minimal showing of “relevance” to an international terrorism or espionage investigation. This provision also imposes a year-long nondisclosure, or “gag” order. “Relevance” is a far cry from the Fourth Amendment’s requirement of probable cause. Likewise, the “roving wiretap” provision, section 206 of the PATRIOT Act, which is also scheduled to expire on the 28th, does not comply with the Fourth Amendment. This provision makes possible “John Doe roving wiretaps,” which do not require the government to name the target of the wiretap, nor to identify the specific place or facility to be monitored. This bears an uncanny resemblance to the Writs of Assistance fought against by Otis and the American colonists. Other provisions of the PATRIOT Act previously made permanent and not scheduled to expire present even greater concerns. These include the use and abuse by the FBI of so-called National Security Letters. These secret demand letters, which allow the government to obtain financial records and other sensitive information held by Internet Service Providers, banks, credit companies, and telephone carriers—all without appropriate judicial oversight—also impose a gag order on recipients. NSL abuse has been and likely continues to be rampant. The widely-circulated 2007 report issued by the Inspector General from the Department of Justice documents “widespread and serious misuse of the FBI’s national security letter authorities. In many instances, the FBI’s misuse of national security letters violated NSL statutes, Attorney General Guidelines, or the FBI’s own internal policies.” Another audit released in 2008 revealed similar abuses, including the fact that the FBI had issued inappropriate “blanket NSLs” that did not comply with FBI policy, and which allowed the FBI to obtain data on 3,860 telephone numbers by issuing only eleven “blanket NSLs.” The 2008 audit also confirmed that the FBI increasingly used NSLs to seek information on U.S. citizens. From 2003 to 2006, almost 200,000 NSL requests were issued. In 2006 alone, almost 60% of the 49,425 requests were issued specifically for investigations of U.S. citizens or legal aliens. In addition, First Amendment advocates should be concerned about an especially troubling aspect of the 2008 audit, which documented a situation in which the FBI applied to the United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) to obtain a section 215 order. The Court denied the order on First Amendment grounds. Not to be deterred, the FBI simply used an NSL to obtain the same information. A recent report released by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (“EFF”) entitled, “Patterns of Misconduct: FBI Intelligence Violations from 2001-2008,” documents further NSL abuse. EFF estimates that, based on the proportion of violations reported to the Intelligence Oversight Board and the FBI’s own statements regarding NSL violations, the actual number of violations that may have occurred since 2001 could approach 40,000 violations of law, Executive Order, and other regulations. Yet another troublesome (and now permanent) provision of the PATRIOT Act is the expansion of Suspicious Activity Reports. Sections 356 and 359 expanded the types of financial institutions required to file reports under the Bank Secrecy Act. The personal and account information required by the reports is turned over to the Treasury Department and the FBI. In 2000, there were only 163,184 reports filed. By 2007, this had increased to 1,250,439. Again, as with NSLs, there is a complete lack of judicial oversight for SARs. Finally, I wish to remind my colleagues that one of the many ironies of the rush to advance the PATRIOT Act following 9/11 is the well-documented fact that FBI incompetence caused the failure to search the computer of the alleged 20th hijacker, Zacarias Moussaoui. As FBI agent Coleen Rowley stated, “the FBI headquarters supervisory special agent handling the Moussaoui case ‘seemed to have been consistently almost deliberately thwarting the Minneapolis FBI agents’ efforts” to meet the FISA standard for a search warrant, and therefore no request was ever made for a warrant. Why, then, was the FBI rewarded with such expansive new powers in the aftermath of this institutional failure? In the words of former Senator Russ Feingold, the only “no” vote against the original version of the PATRIOT Act, “[T]here is no doubt that if we lived in a police state, it would be easier to catch terrorists. If we lived in a country that allowed the police to search your home at any time for any reason; if we lived in a country that allowed the government to open your mail, eavesdrop on your phone conversations, or intercept your email communications; if we lived in a country that allowed the government to hold people in jail indefinitely based on what they write or think, or based on mere suspicion that they are up to no good, then the government would no doubt discover and arrest more terrorists. But that probably would not be a country in which we would want to live. And that would not be a country for which we could, in good conscience, ask our young people to fight and die. In short, that would not be America.” I call upon each of my Senate colleagues to seriously consider whether the time has come to re-evaluate many—if not all—provisions of the PATRIOT Act. Our oath to uphold the Constitution demands it. Sincerely, Rand Paul, M.D. United States Senator

No problem. Anyone else? ~STICK

Also I should add that there are many types of termites and each requires a different approach. The termites that make tubes live underground and are mostly eastern sub-terrain termites. The new biggest threat (4x bigger colony and far far more active and aggressive) are called Formosan termites. They are spreading quickly around the US from LA. ~STICK

Here is the problem with termites....the ones feeding on your home are but a small percentage of the actual colony. When you see a termite tube you have the chance to knock out the entire colony if you do it with the right stuff. Now that that you have killed (and they are very easily killed any household cleaner will kill them too or heck even to much sunlight will that is why they build the tubes to protect them from the elements. Now that colony will close off the infected tube from the rest of the colony and seek a new wood source. You may or may not see where they end up. Unless you find a tube chances are slim you will ever see where they are coming up. In a plumbing void, foundation crack (hairline) or some other random place. You will only know they are back when the damage presents itself and then its to little to late. You should have used a non detectable product with a longer residual so that the termites will keep running through it and travel it back down through the entire colony and wipe them all out in a matter of 3-4 weeks. Instead you killed maybe 5% (if your lucky) of a colony that is next to, around or under your home. ~STICK
