Allison is a lifelong political junkie. She has worked in various capacities on several local, statewide, and Congressional campaigns. She currently works as a Senior Political Analyst at a public opinion/research and analysis firm based out of Indianapolis.
Her philosophy is rooted and most influenced by authors from the Age of Enlightenment such as, Thomas Paine, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and John Locke. Allison believes that while our country has had and does have its fair share of problems, it is still the greatest example of human liberty.
Politically, she advocates a full restoration of the Federal Constitution as the Supreme Law of the land. As such, she specifically advocates for the repeal of the 12th, 16th, and 17th Amendments. Additionally, she feels the 1st Amendment needs to be strengthened to cover all modern and as of yet undiscovered forms of communication. The Bill of Rights was written as a thesis based on inherent rights an individual is granted upon birth, not as a negotiated benefit granted by government. Thus protecting not only freedom of the press, but also of broadcasting via radio, television, and the internet will keep the original intent of the amendment intact . As it stands Allison feels the Federal government has usurped the 1st Amendment with the creation of the FCC and licensing of communications under the guise of “public airwaves”.
Spiritually, Allison subscribes to Deism, and as such, she does not believe God would bless one nation over another, help football teams score touchdowns, or provide consultation to a President prior to launching an unprovoked invasion on a sovereign nation no matter how despicable said leader of sovereign nation may be. Truth be told however, she does hold a spot of affection for The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his noodly followers, Pastafarians.
Allison is happily partnered with Kelly. Both currently reside with their two boys in the area of Indiana affectionately referred to as “The Region”.
NEW ORLEANS, La. - Mike sat down with Republican Presidential Candidate Representative Ron Paul of Texas after his speech at the Republican Leadership Conference to get to the heart of the current issues facing Americans and that are impossible to explore in 30 second soundbites offered to candidates during the old-media debates.
SPRINGFIELD, VIRGINIA - Representative Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty (C4L), formed after his 2008 Presidential Campaign so as to continue advocating the message of limited Constitutional government, has launched a new push to stop H.R. 2454: American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. Hoping to build on the successful effort to secure an Audit of the FEDERAL RESERVE, albeit the FOMC and international transactions are still protected from view, C4L now focuses on creating a groundswell to stop the insidious scheme by Corporatists in government to create a "cap and trade" framework.
If passed and signed into law, the system will solely benefit the largest of companies thus further consolidating their power while simultaneously stifling competition, which of course is the number one sin in the mind of the Corporatist.
Austrian Market analysts estimate that should the bill pass the Senate, we as individuals could see approximately six-hundred and fifty billion in new taxes and caution that such a boondoggle will also prevent the creation of new jobs from upstart companies on Main Street while further insulating Wall Street's corporation from bearing any form of pressure by the market whatsoever.

Thus, the Corporatists know that such a system should it be proposed voluntarily would suffer a complete failure before it even began due the enormous barriers raised for new and small business, and therefore must rely on the FORCE of government in order to corner the energy market.
As such, C4L has launched an email blitz of its existing members and has created a website, where individuals can consent to sending a letter to both of their Federal Senators. The draft letter goes on to formally request that their Senators vote against both HR 2454 as well as any future efforts at a Cap and Trade scheme, and even goes so far as to urge the Senators to wage a filibuster if needed so as to kill the bill prior to a final vote.

For the June 29th, 2009 edition of Texas Straight Talk, Representative Ron Paul (TX) provides his insight and analysis on HR 2454 "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009" also known as the Waxman Markey bill. HR 2454 seeks to implement a federal Cap and Trade scheme onto both American business and individuals in the form of "carbon offset credits". The bill which passed the House on Friday, June 25th, 2009 by a vote of 219 aye - 212 nay (Roll no. 477) now moves on to the Senate where some are expecting it to encounter a tougher road to passage.
Below is an e-mail I sent to my Congressman regarding long winded unread bills. There has to be a way to stop this legislative tactic, "IF YOU DON'T KNOW VOTE NO".
When will this bill go to the Senate?
Dear Congressman Wu,
I'm an Oregon resident and voter living in the 1st District. You recently voted in support of Hr 2454 The Clean Energy and Security act without reading the 1200+ page bill or at least the 300 page addition added while in session. I'm am strongly against these legislative tactics to pressure Congress. Any bill that hasn't been fully read and reviewed should be voted against or filibustered regardless of it's good intentions. I would like to see actions to prevent this type of blind approval.
Thank you very much, Robert Mangino 1st District Oregon
