Ron Paul Is Terminating His Campaign

Congressman Ron Paul has announced that he is putting an end to his campaign for the presidential nomination as John McCain has become the presumptive nominee for the Republican Party. He has made it clear that he is not going to be endorsing John McCain and that he will be running for reelection in his district. He is planning to continue to help libertarian leaning Republicans such as Murray Sabrin in getting elected.

I personally would like to see Ron Paul join the Libertarian Party. I love an idealist but it is a real stretch to think that you can reform such a bloated and corrupt party such as either the Republican or Democratic Party.

Feds Invade New Jersey Waters

The Press of Atlantic City reported the following:

Saltwater anglers would need to register with the federal government to go fishing next year, and starting in 2011 pay an annual fee between $15 and $25.
The goal of the proposal is to assemble a better database of recreational fishermen so they can be interviewed more thoroughly on what they catch. This information would be used to better manage fisheries.

The overbearing regulations of the federal government keep on growing whether the Republicans or the Democrats are in power. Hundreds of little regulations like this one flood out of Capitol Hill on a yearly basis and someone needs to plug that hole up and clean up the mess they are making. If I want to go fish for recreational purposes I don't think it is any of the government's business what I catch out in the ocean.
