The United States government is on the verge of bankruptcy. HR 1 makes $61 billion in actual spending reductions for the remaining fiscal year ending on September 30. Since 2008, federal spending has increased 24 percent; the cuts in HR 1 represent a 1 ½ percent reduction.

During this past year, I have become convinced that the provisions of the so-called PATRIOT Act are an affront to the Bill of Rights and a serious threat to our fundamental liberty as Americans.
