Jo Bonner (R-AL) Under Fire for the RESTORE Act

Challengers to Alabamian Republican Congressman Jo Bonner (Alabama's 1st Congressional District) are attacking him over the RESTORE Act, which would send the BP oil spill fine money to the state governments of the affected states, rather than to the individuals who were affected by the oil spill. This is essentially another move by the Mobilian Congressman to increase the Governments' role in its citizens lives. This can only mean trouble for the poor people who had their lives disrupted and destroyed by the oil spill as they have to deal with the bureaucracy of the state governments to restore their lives. 

I'd like to quote Republican Congressional hopeful Peter Gounares who said "I can't think of a time in history where giving a bunch of money to the government ... has ever been a good idea". There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to enlarge the government and its role rather than hand the money out to the individuals who were directly affected, which could potentially create a local economic boom in the Gulf area. I believe in an America where individuals are trusted to take responsibility for themselves and where the responsibility isn't outsourced to a couple of local officials who can not possibly know what kind of problems each individual person affected by this is facing. 

Let these people decide their own fate and their own future and leave them in control of their own lives, for that is what America is all about. Personal freedom and the liberty to decide your own fate. I am not to tell anyone else how they best resolve their own problems and restore their lives and property and neither is the government, neither Federal nor Local.
