Thomas Massie 2012.
"We have nothing to fear except our own unwillingness to defend what is naturally ours, our God-given rights. We have nothing to fear that should cause us to forget or relinquish our rights as free men and women. To thrive, we must believe in ourselves again, and we must never, never trade our liberty for any fleeting promise of security." - Rand Paul
Looks like he is already laying some solid groundwork for a future campaign.
*sniff* our boy.
"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."

Sounds like he needs a publicist or press secretary.It came from the man himself, so, no.
press release?
Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.
What others do pales beside what YOU do.
Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...
"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
~ C.Coolidge
he also said he turned down all of the medical benefits.
"Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people
designed to make of their victory,
there would have been no surrender at
Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me.
Had I foreseen these results of subjugation,
I would have preferred to die at Appomattox
with my brave men, my sword in my right hand." - Robert E. Lee to Governor Fletcher S. Stockdale (D-Texas), 1870
Damn, I was going to as him to claim me as a dependent child (according to Obamacare, people are children until they're 26).
Aren't you in Spain?
What do you want me to do, to do for you to see you through?
A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.

I was a nasty woman before Trump made it cool.
Good job Thomas.
War; everything in the world wrong, evil and immoral combined into one and multiplied by millions.
I think we've got another Mr. No.

Did Amash do the same in the past?

I directly asked Amash about this and he tapdanced around the question and eventually said he was taking the pension plan and benefits. Oh well, not everyone can be perfect.

I talked with him tonight.

Thank you. It just seemed that people were randomly saying Massie this and Massie that with zero evidence.

He made the pledge before the primary.

Not to rain on the parade, but Thomas isn't hurting for money. It's a nice gesture, but I'd be more impressed if it were someone like Joe Walsh (in debt, past due child support payments) turning down the pension and healthcare program.
The epitome of libertarian populism
Further proof Massie is the true wielder of the Matrix of Leadership.

I am very impressed with Massie's gesture, but Amash may be thinking more of his family's well-being by accepting those benefits. I would not be too upset with Justin about this; he didn't create the system, and he would vote to overturn it if it came up.
Ron Paul collects social security.
Apparently participation is mandatory...

Members elected to the House after 2003 are not allowed to decline their pensions. Apparently Ron Paul was making them look bad, so they passed a law.
https://www.congress.gov/108/plaws/p...-108publ83.pdf
SEC. 104. (a) Section 8401(20) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking the semicolon at the end and inserting the following: ‘‘, and who (in the case of an individual who is a Member of the House of Representatives, including a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to the Congress) serves as a Member prior to the date of the enactment of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2004;’’
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/8401
(20) the term “Member” has the same meaning as provided in section 2106, except that such term does not include an individual who irrevocably elects, by written notice to the official by whom such individual is paid, not to participate in the Federal Employees’ Retirement System, and who (in the case of an individual who is a Member of the House of Representatives, including a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to the Congress) serves as a Member prior to the date of the enactment of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 2004;
Leading by example.
Outstanding.

There is only one correct way: freedom. All other solutions are non-solutions.
It appears that artificial intelligence is at least slightly superior to natural stupidity.
Our words make us the ghosts that we are.
Convincing the world he didn't exist was the Devil's second greatest trick; the first was convincing us that God didn't exist.
