FLORIDA: WHY ARE WE NOT QUESTIONING JEFF MILLER AND PUTTING HIM ON THE HOT SEAT?

Jeff Miller, Congressman from the 1st District of Florida, will appear at a “Town Hall” (actually a controlled discussion with media moderators) on Tuesday, August 13th, at 7 AM, at the Scenic 90 Café, 701 Scenic Hwy, in Pensacola
 
 
Ask Jeff Miller Why
a)       24 July 2013 - He vote against the Amash Amendment to the Patriot Act that would have limited  warrantless government electronic investigations to those people actually under suspicion using probable cause.
b)       14 June 2013 – He voted for the 2014 NDAA, giving unprecedented powers to a President he opposes, and continues to insist the NDAA does not allow the President to arrest and indefinitely detain US citizens without trial.  On 17 July 2012 the New York Federal Appeals Court essentially affirmed the President does have such powers when it threw out a Federal District court ban on the enforcement of the 2012 NDAA not for its unconstitutionality, but because the original plaintiff could not show that they were arrested and indefinitely detained. The District Court did affirm that the law allowed indefinite arrest and detention and was unconstitutional.  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/18/us/politics/challenges-to-policies-on-terror-are-halted.html
c)       2 July 2013  – LtGen  James Clapper,  Director of National Intelligence, admitted and apologized for lying to Congress about the NSA not collecting data on millions of American citizens. Clappers quote to NBC news...“I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful, manner”.  Jeff Miller has yet to call for Clapper’s prosecution for perjury before Congress.  http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/07/02/james-clapper-apologizes-for-lying-to-congress-about-nsa-surveillance-clearly-erroneous/
d)      2 Aug 2013 - Deputy US Attorney General James Cole said that the Congress approved the NSA’s phone-metadata dragnet and were briefed privately on the once-secret program, but could not tell the public for its secrecy.  If Jeff Miller knew, he kept a secret about a blatantly illegal act.  If he didn’t know, why is he being treated like a second class congressman?  http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2013/07/phone-dragnet-no-secret/
e)       18 April 2013 - He voted for the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA).  This Act encourages private companies (such as email providers) to share their information with government agencies with complete legal immunity.  As said in HR624, page 8, line 24, “...no criminal cause of action shall be maintained in Federal or State Court... [for cyber entities providing information.]...”
f)        31 July 2011 – He voted for a $2 trillion national debt ceiling increase which resulted in rating agency Standard and Poor’s downgrading US debt for the first time ever on 5 Aug 2011.
g)       24 Jan 2013 – He voted to extend the national debt limit debate for three months, putting off a decision about deficit spending.  .
h)       9 May 2013 – He voted for the Full Faith and Credit Act (HR807) that puts off a debt ceiling limit debate once again until the fall of 2013.    
i)        9 May 2013 – He voted to price-fix the rate on government guaranteed student loans at 3.4% thereby advocating central government economic control policies instead of free market principles.  (Bipartisan Student Loan Act of 2013).   College costs more because of government subsidies, not less.
j)         1 Aug 13...Contrary to the original law, Jeff Miller was exempted from Obamacare.   The  Office of Personnel Management , under President Obama’s supervision, has allowed Congress to keep its old health care system (the government subsidized Federal Employee Health Benefits Program) instead of being forced to use an Affordable Healthcare Act approved policy.  Congress and their staffs would have had to use policies that the average American would have to use, pay more, and get less.  Will Jeff Miller accept the new exemption?   http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/08/07/usa-health-congress-idUSL1N0G820F20130807?feedType=RSS&feedName=rbssHealthcareNews&rpc=22
