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.

Abort Obama a First Amendment Right

Oklahoma City police officer pulls man over for anti-Obama sign on vehicle

Capt. Steve McCool of the Oklahoma City Police Department is seen in this NewsOK.com video frame grab. McCool says an officer who wrongly pulled a man over last week and confiscated an anti-Barack Obama sign from his vehicle misinterpreted the sign as threatening.

The police officers who stopped Oklahoma City motorist Chip Harrison and confiscated a sign from his car told him he has a right to his beliefs, but the Secret Service "could construe this as a threat against President Obama," according to the incident report released this morning.

Capt. Steve McCool of the Oklahoma City Police Department is seen in this NewsOK.com video frame grab. McCool says an officer who wrongly pulled a man over last week and confiscated an anti-Barack Obama sign from his vehicle misinterpreted the sign as threatening.

The sign, which read "Abort Obama Not the Unborn," was returned to Harrison later that day, the report said.

Police spokesman Steve McCool said this morning that the sign was taken in error, and Oklahoma City residents should not be worried that their First Amendment rights will be violated.

Harrison told the officers that in his opinion the words "Abort Obama" meant to impeach him. He told the officers he does not believe in abortion because he is a Christian.

Harrison was stopped on westbound Interstate 240 at 8:45 a.m. on Feb. 12, according to the police report.

Harrison said he later received a call from a person who said he was a lieutenant supervisor for the Internal Investigations Department and wanted to know his location and return his sign to him.

According to Harrison, the supervisor said the Secret Service had been contacted on the matter and had told them the sign was not a threat to the president.

Harrison was asked if he would like to file a complaint. He said he was not sure but would take the paperwork, just in case.

But his run-in with the law wasn't over yet.

''The Secret Service called and said they were at my house," Harrison said.

After talking to his attorney, Harrison went home where he met the Secret Service.

''When I was on my way there, the Secret Service called me and said they weren't going to ransack my house or anything ... they just wanted to (walk through the house) and make sure I wasn't a part of any hate groups."

Harrison said he invited the Secret Service agents into the house and they were "very cordial."

''We walked through the house and my wife and 2-year-old were in the house," Harrison said.

He said they interviewed him for about 30 minutes and then left, not finding any evidence Harrison was a threat to the president.

''I'm still in contact with a lawyer right now," Harrison said. "I don't know what I'm going to do."

Harrison said he feels his First Amendment rights were violated.

McCool said the officer who pulled over Harrison misinterpreted the sign.

''We had an officer that his interpretation of the sign was different than what was meant," McCool said. "You've got an officer who had a different thought on what the word 'abort' meant."

McCool said the sign basically meant Obama should be impeached and it was not a threat.

''(The officer) shouldn't have taken the sign," McCool said. "That was (Harrison's) First Amendment right to voice his concern."

McCool said although the sign should not have been confiscated, the situation was made right in the end.

''We always try to do the right thing and in the end we believe we did the right thing by returning the sign," McCool said.
