Missouri Must Remove Senator Claire McCaskill

Heads up for people in Missouri!

Sen. Claire McCaskill's husband's businesses benefitted from $20 Million in Stimulus Funds.

Today there are new revelations of an additional $20 million in taxpayer money going to Claire McCaskill's businesses. This brings the total in taxpayer money that has gone to McCaskill's businesses to roughly $60 million in the six years she has been a Senator. The previous $40 million was reported by the Associated Press. The new $20 million was identified by the National Legal and Policy Center, a non-partisan, non-profit ethics watchdog group.

Claire McCaskill has a new television ad suggesting that Todd Akin doesn't care for veterans. This is one of the more absurd attacks that McCaskill has used.

Senator Claire McCaskill Focuses Oversight on Bar Brawl Instead of Death of American Ambassador in Benghazi and three other Americans.

Earlier this week, Claire McCaskill's office sent out a press release about corruption in police trainers in Afghanistan. Why would Claire McCaskill spend time on a bar brawl and alcohol abuse in Afghanistan when she refuses to look into the Benghazi attack that resulted in the death of four Americans, including our ambassador to Libya? Why would Claire McCaskill not organize hearings? Is she simply protecting Barack Obama and Harry Reid? The Obama Administration clearly failed to provide adequate security for our team in Benghazi, and it appears that they misled the American people about the circumstances around the incident.

Claire McCaskill has a current sexual harassment suit filed against her flagship company Sugar Creek realty. The court date is October 30.

Senator Claire McCaskill has made the "war on women" the central theme of her campaign so an active sexual harassment suit seems very relevant.

Senator McCaskill, would you tell the people of Missouri the full scope of your activities in how you collected millions of taxpayer dollars for your companies?

Senator McCaskill, please tell the people of Missouri the full scope of the sexual harassment suit against your company Sugar Creek realty?

Senator McCaskill, tell the people of Missouri how your husband made deals in the dining room of the United States Senate?

McCaskill was the deciding vote for Obamacare, she has voted to increase our federal debt by 74% in six years.

Are Missouri Militias, Domestic Terrorist ???

Missouri report on militias, terrorists draws criticism

The Associated Press

COLUMBIA, Mo. | A new document meant to help Missouri law enforcement agencies identify militia members or domestic terrorists has drawn criticism for some of the warning signs mentioned.
The Feb. 20 report called "The Modern Militia Movement" mentions such red flags as political bumper stickers for third-party candidates, such as U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who ran for president last year; talk of conspiracy theories, such as the plan for a superhighway linking Canada to Mexico; and possession of subversive literature


"It seems like they want to stifle political thought," said Roger Webb, president of the University of Missouri campus Libertarians. "There are a lot of third parties out there, and none of them express any violence. In fact, if you join the Libertarian Party, one of the things you sign in your membership application is that you don't support violence as a means to any ends."

But state law enforcement officials said the report is being misinterpreted.

Lt. John Hotz of the Missouri State Highway Patrol said the report comes from publicly available, trend data on militias. It was compiled by the Missouri Information Analysis Center, a "fusion center" in Jefferson City that combines resources from the federal Department of Homeland Security and other agencies. The center, which opened in 2005, was set up to collect local intelligence to better combat terrorism and other criminal activity, he said.

"All this is an educational thing," Hotz said of the report. "Troopers have been shot by members of groups, so it's our job to let law enforcement officers know what the trends are in the modern militia movement."

But Tim Neal, a military veteran and delegate to last year's state GOP convention, was shocked by the report's contents.

"I was going down the list and thinking, 'Check, that's me,'" he said. "I'm a Ron Paul supporter, check. I talk about the North American union, check. I've got the 'America: Freedom to Fascism' video loaned out to somebody right now. So that means I'm a domestic terrorist? Because I've got a video about the Federal Reserve?"

Neal, who has a Ron Paul bumper sticker on his car, said the next time he is pulled over by a police officer, he won't know whether it's because he was speeding or because of his political views.

"If a police officer is pulling me over with my family in the car and he sees a bumper sticker on my vehicle that has been specifically identified as one that an extremist would have in their vehicle, the guy is probably going to be pretty apprehensive and not thinking in a rational manner," Neal said. "And this guy's walking up to my vehicle with a gun."

But Hotz said using factors in the report to determine whether someone could be a terrorist is not profiling. He said people who display signs or bumper stickers from third-party groups are not in danger of harassment from police.

"It's giving the makeup of militia members and their political beliefs," Hotz said of the report. "It's not saying that everybody who supports these candidates is involved in a militia. It's not even saying that all militias are bad."
