Why is there no recall? This is called theft...
From the Tucson Weekly...
Hank Stephenson at the Arizona Capitol Times has another blockbuster exposé on House Speaker David Gowan: The Sierra Vista Republican had to refund more than $12,000 in bogus expenses that he billed the state. Stephenson's report

Intervention has failed. It is time to stand up to the neocons
Ron Paul nails this one....
They have a point. But the most important point we must learn from the destruction of Libya – and of Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, and so on – is that US interventionism has been a complete failure. Hundreds of thousands have been killed in the last 15 years, societies have been broken apart, economies have been destroyed, and property has been flattened. There are no success stories. The neocon plan to remake the Middle East has only succeeded in destroying the Middle East. As a consequence, we are far less safe than before the “war on terror” was launched. ISIS and other terrorist groups have expanded their territory and have even been able to attack in Europe and the US. Our currency has been debased to pay for the trillions of dollars spent in this no-win war. The connected elites have gotten rich while the middle class has gotten poorer.
Intervention has failed. It is time to stand up to the neocons and their liberal interventionist collaborators and say “no more!”
