Search Warrants

       We need to change how we approve and issue search warrants.  We need to give the owners and residents of the property, and their attorneys, prior notice of the request.  If the search warrant is approved, they shall have a minimum of twenty-four days notice before the search warrant is executed.  This procedure would be great for the personal liberties of the criminals, but might negate the value of the search warrant.
        If you don’t think this change sounds reasonable, why are we doing the exact same thing with the Iran treaty?  It’s not like Iran is our friend and ally.  They shout “Death to America” in the streets.  We can’t trust them. 
        Both opponents and proponents of the treaty agree on several points.  Lifting the sanctions will be a boom to Iran’s economy, producing millions of dollars.  Some of that money will fund terrorists.  The treaty guarantees that Iran will become a nuclear power at some point in the future.  In five years, Iran will be free to buy and sell military weapons. 
  The treaty does not free Americans being held hostage in Iran.  The state department says this was brought up at every negotiation.  The White House says it was never a consideration.  Who is telling the truth?  Probably neither. 
        Opponents of the treaty feel it will escalate the nuclear weapons race in the Middle East, and it may lead to war.  Israel, for one, cannot allow Iran to gain a nuclear weapon and will have to retaliate first. 
        Obama claims our options are this treaty or war.  This is a scare tactic.  There are other options.  The sanctions were clearly working and we are lifting them as part of the treaty.  When people question President Obama, he claims they are stupid or racist.  I hope the public, and especially the media, are getting fed up with this insult.  I know I am. 
        This treaty is not a good thing.  What are President Obama, his handlers, the White House, and the State Department are thinking?  I hear talk of Obama wanting it to be part of his legacy.  What kind of legacy will it be if implemented? 
        Is Obama hoping Congress will kill the treaty?   Then he can claim it would have helped world peace, but did not have a chance.  It would give him a perfect out without seeing the actual disaster. 
        Compare this treaty to Obama Care.  I think everyone including Obama knew it would be a disaster, but it did achieve the objective of increasing the size of the federal government and taking away personal liberties.  They hoped the failure of Obama Care would lead to a single payer plan or government supplied health care.  They felt and still believe that the political elite will not repeal it, even if it is clearly not working and the public doesn’t want it.  I hope I am wrong about this. 
        Every Presidential candidate claims to support the working middle class, but most of their actions show that is a lie.  Do your research.  Don’t believe the lame stream media or take political ads at face value.
