Plainfield, CT (1/28/10) – Libertarian Candidate for Congress Dan Reale released the following statement today –
“I always make a point of watching the state of the union address and the response. Unfortunately, it becomes more painful every year. That’s not because politicians only get better at spinning poor results as positive improvement. It is painful because of the answers already before them that they want no part of. And with each passing year, establishment Democrat and Republican alike have continued on this path no matter what the cost, be it in terms of unemployment, declining wages, spiraling healthcare costs – even in light of political and credibility costs that force a weary public to change the channel every time they speak.”
(1/14/10) – Libertarian Candidate for Congress Dan Reale released the following
statement today –
“Our campaign has sources working within the Republican Party to restore it to constitutionally
oriented roots. They have come to us in a last ditch effort to make the party follow its own rules in
hopes of making sure that only principled, free market and constitutionally minded public servants
make the changes required to save our republic. We will be coming forward with names and
specifics at the discretion of our sources.”

(12/27/09) Dan Reale: The Failed Simmons Approach on Terrorism [Source: New London Day]
Former congressman Rob Simmons' recent commentary, "United States needs a third option for terrorist trials," published Dec. 9, demands a measured response and a stern reminder. It ignores decisions that led to danger in the first place.
Attorney and former congressman Bob Barr disagrees. He signed on to a statement saying that our courts "are the proper forum for terrorism cases" and that federal prisons are "fully capable of safely holding" terrorists.

(7/4/09) Dan Reale, Libertarians, Greens, Republicans organize Tea Party at Capitol
“Awesome”, said Dan Reale. “I think it’s hilarious that they’ve been suing us for running all over creation to collect an insane amount of signatures to get on the ballot, and they can’t even meet the deadlines they themselves have written into law.
When asked what the law says, Reale immediately stated that, “It’s very clear. In Texas, you need to register your presidential and vice presidential candidates not later than 70 days before the election. You may have noticed that we’re on day 68 right now. Last I checked, 68 is less than 70.”
Dan Reale supports Republican Sean Sullivan's call for 12 debates, not five.
"Our sources tell us that the Courtney campaign is willing to include third party candidates in five debates." said Reale. "That's good, but five debates don't provide an adequate amount of time to get into things like Medicare and Social Security and the Federal Reserve, which is the primary cause for high oil prices."
The debates will be held in Plainfield, Old Lyme, Norwich, Enfield and New London. Reale is optimistic about the opportunity these forums will provide. "While I was looking for more, I think that reintroducing the ideas of liberty and the Constitution will lead to similar opportunities in the future."
Upcomming events: (8/21/08) Dan Reale will be speaking at the Otis Library in Norwich about freedom of religion at 6:30 PM.

Reale Deal for Congress official statement on passage of FISA legislation and telecom retroactive immunity
I have always taken a unilateral stand in the strictest interpretation of the Bill of Rights. Unfortunately, that stand is not shared universally. It has come as no suprise that Congress' approval rating is now 9%, an unprecedented low. Many are outraged with the blatant disregard for the Constitution by the 110th Congress for their failures to uphold the rule of law, which include the following –
-Refusal to cut off war funding
-Refusal to impeach for blatant violations of the Constitution
-Refusal to stop the Federal Reserve from destroying the value of the dollar, ergo, raising oil prices in dollars
-Refusal to kill H.J.Con. 362, which initiates an act of war against Iran without exhausting diplomatic means
-Refusal to terminate economically devastating arrangements like CAFTA, NAFTA and GATT
-Refusal to repeal the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act
-Refusal of our right to petition for redress of grievance when it comes to warrantless spying
Telecom immunity not only violates the fourth amendment. It violates the first amendment when it comes to our right to judicial recourse for government injury. It also violates Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 of the US Constitution, which reads-
"No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed."
That is to say nothing can be made illegal or legal after the fact by an act of Congress, period. No law be interpreted or used in this manner. That’s the end of the story.
Go ahead and proceed with the lawsuits. If you can prove standing and a federal judge uses this FISA immunity statute to throw your case out, I will move to impeach that judge for perjuring his or her oath of office.
Let’s face it. No sound argument can be made on legal or national security arguments. If such an argument could be made, no fishing expedition or police state would be necessary.
