The Federal Bureau of Investigations has rewritten its own operations manual, giving its agents more autonomy than ever to conduct low-level searches without a paper trail." ...read the full June 13th article by Adam Martin at http://www.theatlanticwire.com/national/2011/06/new-powers-fbi-just-granted-itself/38763/Warning: "We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." -- Ayn Rand (1905-1982) Author

Have you ever had student loans?
Did you ever think that the Department of Education would send their SWAT teams in to collect on them, if you did?

If you're anything like me, you were probably surprised to find out that the Department of Education even has a SWAT team!
What on earth for?
In this day and age of ever-increasing government intervention and militarization, even seemingly-benign agencies are training and using heavily armed agents against citizens.
In Stockton, California this week, one such unit of "operators" -- a term almost exclusively used to refer to military special operations personnel like Navy SEALs and Delta Force -- was used to assault the home of a person who owed money on their student loans.
The man of the house and his children were drug out into the street in their underwear by ski-masked thugs working for the federal government.
"They put me in handcuffs in that hot patrol car for six hours, traumatizing my kids," the man said.
And it wasn't even him that the police were after.

A lot of people mocked some of the statements about the so-called Patriot Act, but this story is a perfect example of how police state action can get wildly out of hand quicker than most realize.
I mean, really, why does the Department of Education have a SWAT Team at all???
Search Warrant=Death Sentence?

Combine this with the story of a raid on a former Marine and Iraqi combat veteran by the Pima County Sheriff's department and we see what happens when we militarize our law enforcement agencies.
The incident in Pima County, Arizona resulted in over 70 shots fired AND Not one of them by the man killed.
And according to the official report, "nothing illegal" was found in his home....SHOT HIM OVER 60 TIMES!!!.
MARINE MURDERED?
They are gaining more and more control! ...and they are using it.

I need you to remember these stories when it comes time to vote.
Remember who voted for legislation like the Patriot Act.
Remember who chose to stand against things like the UN Small Arms Treaty.
Remember who wanted to restrict the size and scope of federal government.
And who wanted to increase it.
Do you want every agency funded by taxpayer dollars -- your money -- to have a SWAT Team and the authority to use it for whatever they choose?
I know I don't.

P.S. Like me, you're probably sick of the over-militarization of our police forces and their ever-increasing use against law-abiding citizens.
