Riggleman may not think this is about power – it may not be to him – but it is about power. It’s not about helping people.

The whole game of government is about power over others. It has never been about anything else. Just think about the lobbyists wanting to get at him. Everybody has an angle, a need, an ambition. If you can’t get it done for them, you’ll be gone.

If you want to help people, join the Peace Corps.

He comes off as a pretty sincere, humble guy, but he will find out very quickly that this is about power. Unless he wants to be the next Ron Paul, he better be prepared to learn to compromise, because compromise, he will.

When do we get these guys to actually follow the Constitution of ENUMERATED POWERS, instead of….”well, that’s the way we’ve always done it”

The Rules Committee of both Chambers rubber-stamp just about every bill to go forward with
the Justification of “provide the general welfare” of the Constitution Art. 1 Sec. 8.

I’m hopeful for Mr. Riggleman. He’s entered the snakepit (many of his new congressional peers are sociopaths, and I hope he knows how to deal with such people–it’s hard!). If he can stick, truly stick, to ethics, then freedom will have an ally. This resource is brief and helps: Richard Maybury’s Ethics Solutions: https://www.ethicssolutions.net/C900

Now we’ll see.
He “talks the talk” now “walk the walk”.
Good luck.

I know I have heard some real horror stories.

We’ll see if he sticks to his principles.
