Iowans for Tax Relief and Iowa Christian Alliance will host a

Republican presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Sam Brownback, Jim
Gilmore, Mike Huckabee, Tommy Thompson, and Tom Tancredo will
participate.
Ron Paul, however, will not participate. Why? Because he wasn’t invited.
We heard about this forum from numerous supporters in Iowa who asked
why Dr. Paul was not going to participate. Those supporters assumed
that Dr. Paul was invited.
The campaign office had not received an invitation so we called this
morning; thinking we might have misplaced the invitation or simply
overlooked it. Lew Moore, our campaign manager, called Mr. Edward
Failor, an officer of Iowans for Tax Relief, to ask about it. To our
shock, Mr. Failor told us Dr. Paul was not invited; he was not going to
be invited; and he would not be allowed to participate. And when asked
why, Mr. Failor refused to explain. The call ended.
Lew then called Mr. Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa Christian
Alliance, to talk with him. Mr. Scheffler did not answer so Lew left a
message. He has yet to respond.
Why are the Iowans for Tax Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance
excluding the one Republican candidate who scored at the top of every
online poll taken after the MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN debates? Why are
they denying Iowans the opportunity to hear from the Republican
presidential candidate whose popularity is growing by the day?
We couldn’t get answers to these questions from Messrs. Failor and
Scheffler. Maybe you’ll have better luck. Their contact information is

It's ironic that on the same day we learned the Iowans for Tax
Relief and the Iowa Christian Alliance excluded Dr. Paul from their
candidates forum, we received a call from ABC News confirming Dr.
Paul’s participation in its nationally broadcast August 5th debate to
be held in Des Moines.

I know, Sarc. I was just yankin' your chain. Although, unfortunately for Mr. Paul, I don't think the MSM will cover anything related to him. They'll be too caught up in destroying the Republican frontrunner...
The thing is, I think some people are as "obsessed" with libertarian types and drugs as those same people think I'm "obsessed" with drugs. Maybe both sides are wrong, but I still say if this had been Ron Paul's state chair, the headline & paragraph one would have been about the Presidential candidate instead of the perp, instead of having the candidate barely-mentioned way-later like Rudy got from the pro-RINO media. And as you can see, ABC News doesn't share the bias of some groups, so Paul's still in the debates despite efforts to shut him up. Too f---in' bad, for all those who don't like it. I still recall those on this board who told me to work within the Republican party for libertarian gains, and I'm still snickerin' about their sudden silence when Dr. Paul began kickin' unexplained online-polling ass. Of course, since it's not Howard Dean, Ron's wins must all be magical "hackers" instead of the grass roots folks who vote only once that we actually are. Sigh. JMR
And I love how the "editor's picks" here managed to leave off the article that inspired what they did post...Operative quote illustrating the pervasive and widespread (even on a mediabias blog) antilibertarian bias: "Can you imagine people gleefully sharing YouTube clips of Thompson with their friends, or holding up 'Tommy Thompson Revolution' signs?" Uh...NOPE! JMR
I first heard about Dr. Paul on this website, and I was very interested in learning more about him. After watching him in the debates, my opinion of his wasn't very favorable. He appears to me to be one of these guys who has great ideas, but lacks the ability to ever make them a reality. If this guy had any leadership ability he would have made a much bigger splash as a congressman. He's also quick to toss out major policy plans that there would be zero percent chance of getting made into law. I agree with much of what he says, but I don't see him as the kind of guy who would ever be able to accomplish anything.
As for his attendence at debates, I think he shouldn't have gotten an invite, but so should a lot of others been skipped. And I think it's really pathetic to cite the results of a bunch of spammed network polls as a reason to have him there.
He's made a plenty big splash, he just didn't lead big spenders very well, obviously. And the polls weren't "spammed," that's an allegation with 0 proof. For example, the Fox News poll ass-kicking happened with 100% cellphone text messages from individuals like me, something that's very hard to technically-fake. It's all fear of libertarians and antilibertarian bias, and I'll take Ron Paul over big-spending "leaders" in congress any day. Also, the fact that you had to hear about him on a mediabias site instead of directly from the news media should speak volumes about the bias I've exposed for months here, to anyone who's listening even halfway-well...

Tony Snow/Immigration......So I'm driving home listening to Tony on the Hannity show, and hearing how the Administration is telling the Americans against the Immigration bill what they are "mis-understanding"..how we are un-informed on the Facts.....Hey Tony, Take your sick wife/Kid to the Emergency room in Texas, and see how long you have to wait in line behind the Non-paying Mexicans, before they can give you and your family Medical priority !
Hannity is espousing the "Disconnect" between Washington and the voters, the Americans.........Let me repeat....VOTERS, AMERICANS.....HELLO ?, don't you guys in Washington GET IT ?
WE VOTE.....Illegals do NOT VOTE. The Pres and his Congress are supposed to Represent the VOTERS....
Failing in that, Represent the AMERICANS.....Failing in that, you're GONE !
We "Americans"can't wait for the Next Election....The ILLEGALS prefer the current elected Officials in charge. yes Tony, we are "Angry" and YOU don't understand that DC and it's Elected Officials have no credibility.
DON"T RE-ELECT ANYONE !!!
What good is a Free Press, if it is a False Press ? David Foote GoE
I heard that. If Snow was not working for the White House he'd never say what he was saying. I sent off an angry e-mail to the whitehouse, the rnc and the gop.
Nobody expects the Democrats to consider the will of the voters, but if the GOP keeps pushing this amnesty B.S., they will have virtually destroyed themselves.
I'm not going to stay home in '08, but I'm not voting for any RINO.
Mattm... I think it's less working for the White house, than all the DC guys (including Snow) living in the DC Bubble...Insulated from the Real people in the Real world.
I work with Computers, always have....and for the last 10 Years I've been surrounded by Green Cards from India.....followed by Salaries decreasing...while friends of mine go un-employed. I have even Trained Green Cards in computer software, when I could have been Training "Americans".
H1b Visa's are an issue, Illegals are an Issue, and they are Issues because of the Sheer SIZE OF THE NUMBERS. I'm not a Bigot against 1 million...I'm a Bigot against 12 million. It's a landslide, and has been for Years.
What good is a Free Press, if it is a False Press ? David Foote GoE
I heard that hideous interview, as well. Sean showed Tony up on numerous points, particularly in the area of enforcing current immigration laws. It was clear that Mr. Snow has been living under a rock, as he was utterly clueless about the view on border security held by 80% of the American public.
I have to wonder if he is actually clueless, or if he is forced to behave as if he were clueless because he is the White House's representative to the press.
Could it be he fails to defend the views he's expressing because he is forced to defend views he doesn't hold, himself?
Anyone recall any views he expressed about illegal immigration on his show before he went to D.C.? I never listened to him, so I don't know what he may have said.

DaveR....I think Tony Snow was a good addition to the Pres.'s Staff.....no doubt he has "studies" on the Immigration issue that he eluded to when talking to Hannity. I don't have Studies.....neither does the average American....we have "Experiences" that DC politicians don't have. I'm surrounded on a Fed. Computer Contract by 40% H1B's, half of the people are speaking in a diffo language...on the JOB, on the Fed. Contract.

I followed a link in the Editor's Picks above, regarding Hillary's lame spoof of the Sopranos.

Bigoted Ontarian: No, she's from Quebec.

No RINOs in '08 - Thompson/Hunter would be a good ticket; Thompson/Steele would be a great ticket
JUNE 20: Since a California meteorologist got curious and personally discovered many California "weather monitoring stations" (there are about 1,200 in the USA) are placed near non-natural heat sources his website has melted under the hits a few days ago. Boortz is listing dozens of examples of how stations (he names locations) are near this and that heat-generating things (buildings, asphalt parking loots, light bulbs, jet exhausts, etc) in violation of guidelines (like must be 100 feet from a building for one) SO they are relaying FALSE temperatures much higher than they should be! How many years has this been happening? Cue "global warming alarmists"... they have been silent, no response. No possible CYA on this. One has to wonder why the REAL scientists so in love with Global Warming missed this obvious possibility? (He also said its never mentioned there is more ice in Anarctica now than last year, same for Greenland.)

No RINOs in '08 - Thompson/Hunter would be a good ticket; Thompson/Steele would be a great ticket
You know, I am really exhausted by all this presidential campaigning going on with both parties. The fact that we have already had debates 18 months before the election is absurd. I wish campaigning could be limited to less than a year before the election. Good grief, I have already heard references to 2012 already. Hillary is the Democrat party front runner? Good. That alone pretty much guarantees she doesn't get the nomination. Look at the elections over the past 40 years. The early front runners hardly ever get the nomination.
Having said all of that, I am not too pleased with any of our announced candidates. Living in NYC, I like Rudy G. but not 100%. McCain is over. I wish Romney had a more consistent track record of positions.
The one candidate who really intrigues me right now is Fred Thompson. And I will be honest, its not so much because of his positions and track records. I am intrigued because of the hit pieces against him in the MSM. Newsweek seems to be leading the way, but I have seen attacks on Thompson in the Times, MSNBC and CNN. Last night Olbermann went after him.
So I have come to the conclusion that they must be afraid of him. Why else spend so much time denigrating someone who hasn't even entered the race? I can only conclude its fear based. And if the MSM/Left is afraid of Fred, then that is reason enough for me to support him.
I'm all for an honest debate. Too bad no one on The Left is.
I think that starting the election cycle so far in advance helps the Democrats and the Liberals. Doing so gives them the ability to test different positions and see which way the poll wind is blowing. It doesn’t matter if they flip flop during the 18 months. The liberal MSM will be more than happy to cover their tracks for them.
On the other hand, the Republicans and conservatives tend to recite the same positions over and over, giving the MSM 18 months to look for and exploit cracks (real or imagined).
What do you all think?
Jimbo says - "There is a fine line between freedom of speech and treason"
"Sen. Ted Kennedy understands that a steady stream of low-skill immigrants will help him build a much larger, tax-fueled government. It is a pity that so many foes of big government fail to appreciate this point."
One
of the “fear and smear” mantras of the secular socialists (modern
liberals) is how the “radical right” (their term of course) is so
extreme, is such a threat to the country and so on. If one looks at the
Christian Right (their term) it most likely would be quite satisified
if: 1. abortion was illegal (up for adoption instead) 2. the Ten
Commandments were displayed in all public schools 3. legal marriage
would be heterosexual 4. fornication families would not get tax money
5. your tax money could follow you to any school 6. TV-movies would
clean up their act and also treat christianity fairly.
Well, thats so radical so absurd so so so so…
now let’s look at “that other radical right” which is Islamic-Shariah
law. Do you dare to list what this radical right would probably be
quite satisifed with today? How about some hints? 1. all women will be
covered, silent and not vote 2. adulterers will be stoned 3. no pork or
pig in american diets or stores 4. all people will pray 5 times daily
(after washing feet) 5. Christians/Jews and others will be tagged
doomed “infidels” dealt with harshly 6. numerous public school
policy-procedure changes (already begun) 7. all schools will teach
islam 8. all people will dress in islamic garb (even hospital gowns) 9.
public executions-maiming according to Sharia Law…. hey, you
compren-dough? Do you now understand the two Radical Right groups?
The bizzare obvious observable conclusion these days is that the modern
liberals (democrats) see one of these groups as “cultural terrorists”
and the other as “misunderstood victims”. The modern liberal bashes one
group with glee but is deathly (it fits) afraid of the other so panders
on bended knee to it while pretending they “don’t mean what they say or
do”.
I ask you, which “Radical Right” agenda do you choose … if you had any
choice at all? Do you want the democrats to choose for you?
Reelman: What are you trying to do? Twice now, you have posted long winded articles by this doctor (friend?) of yours, Doug Schexnayder, that had nothing to do with the subject being discussed in the post you replied to.

No RINOs in '08 - Thompson/Hunter would be a good ticket; Thompson/Steele would be a great ticket
"...lowest education" = cannot think for themselves, listen to msm. "...lowest wages" = looking for government support.
btw: speaking of govenment handouts, wasn't it a democrat who said "And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. "
Yeah, logic, reason, facts play less of a role now in the way we make decisions in America. – Al Gore
hey folks--passing through-- just a couple of thoughts and then I am heading out to the Braves' game. While we (almost all Americans) are going about our daily tasks--(job, kids off to school or camp, and all the things that occupy our time) , those people that we elected to represent our interest and who earn over $160,000 a year are having secret meetings to push the offensive "Immigration Reform" bill through the Senate against our wishes. We must compete with RINOs who receive money from businesses and who are selling us out. Now , it is a crime to support the "violent" overthrow of our government, but it is not a crime to support the peaceful overthrow of our government.(It is called peaceful protest and voting power). I do not want to gain any financial advantages (cheaper services and products), on the backs of my fellow Americans. I do not want the wage market suppressed by illegal entratnts into our country. We cannot relax for a minute because our Senate and Congress are not to be trusted. (And do not forget the worst of them all--GW Bush). We all are hindered by the requirements of our everyday living. We need to be able to match the thousands of illegals who marched in OUR streets, carrying THEIR flag. Where did they get the money to replace their lost wages??? We Americans need to have a bill that allows us to take two or three days a year to walk the streets in protest, carrying the Stars and Stripes while we protest BAD government and our employers or the government pays for it. I ask again, where did the tens of thoud\sand illegals get their pay when they protested?
Those blind fools in Congress have been buried by our faxes, emails and phone calls. They can ignore them, but they cannot ignore hundreds of thousands of US citizens protesting this incredibly bad shamnesty bill. Isn't there some organization that can start a "We are Americans protesting against the immigration bill" in every mmajor city in the USA??
I will march in Atlanta (closest big city.)
My other thought for the day--- yesterday they had a special voting day for a town bond issue. About 10% of eligible voters showed up to vote. The rest of you--shut up if you do not like the results. You had the opportunity.
PS The last paragraph explains how we got into the problem with the first paragraph. We all sat on our hands (me too) until the issue was almost resolved. Immigration should be a referendum issue. Not the decision of 50 people who stand to gain from their vote..
But, MB, will he ever understand that the low-skilled don't pay the taxes he wants to use? Me thinks the masswhale doesn't understand what his brother meant when he said, "A rising tide lifts ALL boats". I guess he's still waiting for his car to float.

Anyone who infers that I do not Honor God or will not make into Heaven is nothing but a , pious-ed religious zealot...let alone holier than thou....
Who you think you are is beyond me....
Best we keep our distance.
Btw...Do not ask me to go and prove it...there are around three hundred posts there now in that forum of your pals Debra's...like I suggested to you before...you go back and read them, I have awhile back, they are of course jumbled with other posters now in between our dialogue...but I remember well."
And I would like to apologize for including you in the threads discussion. You got caught in the cross-fire in a debate of my faith versus the others Mormon faith. I do not know your faith, nor presume anyone elses. I do know the debate took place between myself and those who do claim to be Mormons. We have a serious difference in our beliefs in regards to the very foundations of who we call Jesus.
We were talking directly back and forth when those posts that I referred to you yesterday were spoken to one another...not the other posters...I know, I was there having dialogue with YOU about this at the time, I know very well that other posters were there and who they were ect ect...of course other posts intervened since then as they do on most threads...but I remember every exchange between us...and Debra...along with others.
I stayed up until two that morning here.
If you admit this....I too would like to start on another foot, I do not like to not get along, but those words were very angering/hurtful .....
Nobody has the right to say such things to another...no matter their religion..especially if they do not even know the other person's believes anyway.
If you apologize for those direct posts and those words you spoke to me....
I will be glad to shake hands so to speak...and take it from there.
The National Association of Broadcasters sent a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein objecting to the "Fair Elections Now Act" (S. 1285). The bill would require broadcasters to sell ads to politicians at 20 under their lowest rate, to sell ads to political parties at their lowest rate, and to impose a tax on broadcasters to fund a political advertising voucher account so federal candidates and parties can buy advertising.
And Dems claim Republicans have a culture of corruption (and some do)? The Dems blow the GOP away in shameless fashion.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
The lawsuit against Nancy Grace is moving forward. US Magistrate Judge Gary R Jones will allow the lawsuit against Grace and CNN to move forward in the wrongful death lawsuit from the family of Melinda Duckett , who committed suicide.
I am no fan of Nancy Grace, but this is BULLSH*T and a competent judge would know that...bu then again, he is a Clinton appointee.
If conservatives are RIGHT, then liberals must be WRONG. Thompson/Rice
Congress Hires Illegal Immigrants to Write Immigration Bill In an attempt to break the nagging logjam over immigration, congressional leaders announced today that they were hiring illegal immigrants to write the nation’s new immigration bill.
While some observers criticized the decision to employ illegals to draft the very bill that would regulate themselves, Sen. John Kyl (R-Arizona) said that the move was a “win-win” for the American people.
“No one understands the thorny issue of immigration better than the people who have been sneaking into our country,” Mr. Kyl said. “Plus, these folks work cheap.”
One outspoken critic of the plan was CNN’s Lou Dobbs, who blasted Congress for putting illegal immigrants in charge of the nation’s immigration laws.
“This would be the equivalent of CNN outsourcing my xenophobic rants to Bangalore,” Mr. Dobbs said.
According to the plan, which went into effect at midnight, the U.S. will bus illegal aliens across the border to work as “guest congressmen” to draft the nation’s new immigration laws.
The illegals will remain in the country long enough to write the new immigration laws, after which they will be permitted to run for election for permanent congressman status.
Juan Carmelo Gutierrez, 35, a former migrant worker who is taking advantage of the “guest congressman” program, says that while drafting the nation’s immigration’s laws is arduous work, he still prefers it to his previous job.
“Being a congressman is definitely easier than picking fruit,” says Mr. Gutierrez. “Plus, you get most of the year off.”
Elsewhere, the New England Journal of Medicine reports that people who play excessive amounts of Nintendo Wii may experience shoulder pain and may also never lose their virginity.

June 20, 2007 - 09:31 ET by JayTeeTony Snow/Immigration......So I'm driving home listening to Tony on the Hannity show, and hearing how the Administration is telling the Americans against the Immigration bill what they are "mis-understanding"..how we are un-informed on the Facts.....Hey Tony, Take your sick wife/Kid to the Emergency room in Texas, and see how long you have to wait in line behind the Non-paying Mexicans, before they can give you and your family Medical priority !
Hannity is espousing the "Disconnect" between Washington and the voters, the Americans.........Let me repeat....VOTERS, AMERICANS.....HELLO ?, don't you guys in Washington GET IT ?
WE VOTE.....Illegals do NOT VOTE. The Pres and his Congress are supposed to Represent the VOTERS....
Failing in that, Represent the AMERICANS.....Failing in that, you're GONE !
We "Americans"can't wait for the Next Election....The ILLEGALS prefer the current elected Officials in charge. yes Tony, we are "Angry" and YOU don't understand that DC and it's Elected Officials have no credibility.
DON"T RE-ELECT ANYONE !!!

Nobody expects the Democrats to consider the will of the voters, but if the GOP keeps pushing this amnesty B.S., they will have virtually destroyed themselves.

Tony Snow: The spokesman for illegal immigration.
June 20, 2007 - 12:19 ET by Dave RJayTee,
I heard that hideous interview, as well. Sean showed Tony up on numerous points, particularly in the area of enforcing current immigration laws. It was clear that Mr. Snow has been living under a rock, as he was utterly clueless about the view on border security held by 80% of the American public.
I have now lost all respect for Tony Snow.

June 20, 2007 - 12:27 ET by lnthompI have to wonder if he is actually clueless, or if he is forced to behave as if he were clueless because he is the White House's representative to the press.
Could it be he fails to defend the views he's expressing because he is forced to defend views he doesn't hold, himself?
Anyone recall any views he expressed about illegal immigration on his show before he went to D.C.? I never listened to him, so I don't know what he may have said.

You heard this GW news?
June 20, 2007 - 10:12 ET by reelman46JUNE 20: Since a California meteorologist got curious and personally discovered many California "weather monitoring stations" (there are about 1,200 in the USA) are placed near non-natural heat sources his website has melted under the hits a few days ago. Boortz is listing dozens of examples of how stations (he names locations) are near this and that heat-generating things (buildings, asphalt parking loots, light bulbs, jet exhausts, etc) in violation of guidelines (like must be 100 feet from a building for one) SO they are relaying FALSE temperatures much higher than they should be! How many years has this been happening? Cue "global warming alarmists"... they have been silent, no response. No possible CYA on this.
One has to wonder why the REAL scientists so in love with Global Warming missed this obvious possibility?
(He also said its never mentioned there is more ice in Anarctica now than last year, same for Greenland.)

Fred
June 20, 2007 - 10:38 ET by PeterDYou know, I am really exhausted by all this presidential campaigning going on with both parties. The fact that we have already had debates 18 months before the election is absurd. I wish campaigning could be limited to less than a year before the election. Good grief, I have already heard references to 2012 already. Hillary is the Democrat party front runner? Good. That alone pretty much guarantees she doesn't get the nomination. Look at the elections over the past 40 years. The early front runners hardly ever get the nomination.
Having said all of that, I am not too pleased with any of our announced candidates. Living in NYC, I like Rudy G. but not 100%. McCain is over. I wish Romney had a more consistent track record of positions.
The one candidate who really intrigues me right now is Fred Thompson. And I will be honest, its not so much because of his positions and track records. I am intrigued because of the hit pieces against him in the MSM. Newsweek seems to be leading the way, but I have seen attacks on Thompson in the Times, MSNBC and CNN. Last night Olbermann went after him.
So I have come to the conclusion that they must be afraid of him. Why else spend so much time denigrating someone who hasn't even entered the race? I can only conclude its fear based. And if the MSM/Left is afraid of Fred, then that is reason enough for me to support him.
I'm all for an honest debate. Too bad no one on The Left is.
What Do You All Think?
June 20, 2007 - 10:53 ET by JimboI think that starting the election cycle so far in advance helps the Democrats and the Liberals. Doing so gives them the ability to test different positions and see which way the poll wind is blowing. It doesn’t matter if they flip flop during the 18 months. The liberal MSM will be more than happy to cover their tracks for them.
On the other hand, the Republicans and conservatives tend to recite the same positions over and over, giving the MSM 18 months to look for and exploit cracks (real or imagined).
What do you all think?

The other radical right
June 20, 2007 - 11:04 ET by reelman46THE TWO RADICAL RIGHTs
One
of the “fear and smear” mantras of the secular socialists (modern
liberals) is how the “radical right” (their term of course) is so
extreme, is such a threat to the country and so on. If one looks at the
Christian Right (their term) it most likely would be quite satisified
if: 1. abortion was illegal (up for adoption instead) 2. the Ten
Commandments were displayed in all public schools 3. legal marriage
would be heterosexual 4. fornication families would not get tax money
5. your tax money could follow you to any school 6. TV-movies would
clean up their act and also treat christianity fairly.
Well, thats so radical so absurd so so so so…
now let’s look at “that other radical right” which is Islamic-Shariah
law. Do you dare to list what this radical right would probably be
quite satisifed with today? How about some hints? 1. all women will be
covered, silent and not vote 2. adulterers will be stoned 3. no pork or
pig in american diets or stores 4. all people will pray 5 times daily
(after washing feet) 5. Christians/Jews and others will be tagged
doomed “infidels” dealt with harshly 6. numerous public school
policy-procedure changes (already begun) 7. all schools will teach
islam 8. all people will dress in islamic garb (even hospital gowns) 9.
public executions-maiming according to Sharia Law…. hey, you
compren-dough? Do you now understand the two Radical Right groups?
The bizzare obvious observable conclusion these days is that the modern
liberals (democrats) see one of these groups as “cultural terrorists”
and the other as “misunderstood victims”. The modern liberal bashes one
group with glee but is deathly (it fits) afraid of the other so panders
on bended knee to it while pretending they “don’t mean what they say or
do”.
I ask you, which “Radical Right” agenda do you choose … if you had any
choice at all? Do you want the democrats to choose for you?

hey folks--passing through
June 20, 2007 - 13:56 ET by misterbillhey folks--passing through-- just a couple of thoughts and then I am heading out to the Braves' game. While we (almost all Americans) are going about our daily tasks--(job, kids off to school or camp, and all the things that occupy our time) , those people that we elected to represent our interest and who earn over $160,000 a year are having secret meetings to push the offensive "Immigration Reform" bill through the Senate against our wishes. We must compete with RINOs who receive money from businesses and who are selling us out. Now , it is a crime to support the "violent" overthrow of our government, but it is not a crime to support the peaceful overthrow of our government.(It is called peaceful protest and voting power). I do not want to gain any financial advantages (cheaper services and products), on the backs of my fellow Americans. I do not want the wage market suppressed by illegal entratnts into our country. We cannot relax for a minute because our Senate and Congress are not to be trusted. (And do not forget the worst of them all--GW Bush). We all are hindered by the requirements of our everyday living. We need to be able to match the thousands of illegals who marched in OUR streets, carrying THEIR flag. Where did they get the money to replace their lost wages??? We Americans need to have a bill that allows us to take two or three days a year to walk the streets in protest, carrying the Stars and Stripes while we protest BAD government and our employers or the government pays for it. I ask again, where did the tens of thoud\sand illegals get their pay when they protested?
Those blind fools in Congress have been buried by our faxes, emails and phone calls. They can ignore them, but they cannot ignore hundreds of thousands of US citizens protesting this incredibly bad shamnesty bill. Isn't there some organization that can start a "We are Americans protesting against the immigration bill" in every mmajor city in the USA??
I will march in Atlanta (closest big city.)
My other thought for the day--- yesterday they had a special voting day for a town bond issue. About 10% of eligible voters showed up to vote. The rest of you--shut up if you do not like the results. You had the opportunity.
PS The last paragraph explains how we got into the problem with the first paragraph. We all sat on our hands (me too) until the issue was almost resolved. Immigration should be a referendum issue. Not the decision of 50 people who stand to gain from their vote..

June 20, 2007 - 14:43 ET by nkviking75The National Association of Broadcasters sent a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein objecting to the "Fair Elections Now Act" (S. 1285). The bill would require broadcasters to sell ads to politicians at 20 under their lowest rate, to sell ads to political parties at their lowest rate, and to impose a tax on broadcasters to fund a political advertising voucher account so federal candidates and parties can buy advertising.

Congress Hires Illegal Immigr
June 20, 2007 - 23:17 ET by donsalesCongress Hires Illegal Immigrants to Write Immigration Bill In an attempt to break the nagging logjam over immigration, congressional leaders announced today that they were hiring illegal immigrants to write the nation’s new immigration bill.
While some observers criticized the decision to employ illegals to draft the very bill that would regulate themselves, Sen. John Kyl (R-Arizona) said that the move was a “win-win” for the American people.
“No one understands the thorny issue of immigration better than the people who have been sneaking into our country,” Mr. Kyl said. “Plus, these folks work cheap.”
One outspoken critic of the plan was CNN’s Lou Dobbs, who blasted Congress for putting illegal immigrants in charge of the nation’s immigration laws.
“This would be the equivalent of CNN outsourcing my xenophobic rants to Bangalore,” Mr. Dobbs said.
According to the plan, which went into effect at midnight, the U.S. will bus illegal aliens across the border to work as “guest congressmen” to draft the nation’s new immigration laws.
The illegals will remain in the country long enough to write the new immigration laws, after which they will be permitted to run for election for permanent congressman status.
Juan Carmelo Gutierrez, 35, a former migrant worker who is taking advantage of the “guest congressman” program, says that while drafting the nation’s immigration’s laws is arduous work, he still prefers it to his previous job.
“Being a congressman is definitely easier than picking fruit,” says Mr. Gutierrez. “Plus, you get most of the year off.”
Elsewhere, the New England Journal of Medicine reports that people who play excessive amounts of Nintendo Wii may experience shoulder pain and may also never lose their virginity.
