We will overcum...we will overcum...we will overcum... Enterprise crew hold their ears in agony, including Uhura. Enterprise explodes.

The confusion that seems to cloud Sen. Chuck Schumer’s thinking starts to clear up if you understand classic Soviet principles. U.S. Senate Majority Leader, Mr. Chuck Schumer, portrays himself as an unrelenting warrior for democracy and the champion of the oppressed. But in his narrow perspective, in which maintaining his and his party’s political power appears as an overriding value that trumps all other values, he does not seem to realize that he confuses things that the majority of the American people do not. Would someone, please, explain to him that cheating on behalf of the oppressed has virtually nothing...

Democrats certainly have an interest in weaker election laws, but is that what their frenzy in Georgia is really about? Or is there another agenda at work -- a more sinister, dangerous motive for the Left? According to Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), this isn't about the Peach State at all. It's about every state. "This disinformation has a purpose," he warned. And the only way to stop it is for every American to understand exactly what it is. "These people literally have been lying about what's in [our] legislation to drive an agenda," Governor Brian Kemp (R-Ga.) insisted on...

AFA ActionAlert January 11, 2006 Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as possible by forwarding it to your entire email list of family and friends. Senate Tired of Your E-mails, Phone Calls; Expected to Pass Bill that Will Keep You From Getting Needed Information. Dear Beverly, Without a doubt, this could be the most important letter I have written you. The U.S. Senate is poised to pass Senate Bill 1 (Section 220), which would effectively keep AFA and every other pro-family organization in America from providing you information on bills in Congress. Under...

Fax your senators a prewritten message that you support the amendment to strike Section 220 of S. 1. A legislative fix was offered today that could kill an onerous measure in the Senate that threatens the right of citizens to influence their lawmakers. It all depends on how the votes line up next week. The lobbying-reform bill numbered S. 1 contains a provision -- Section 220 -- that would require grassroots organizations and churches to file federal reports on communications that urge people to speak out on public-policy issues. Tens of thousands of phone calls, faxes and e-mails in opposition...

You only need listen to the first 4 or 5 minutes to grasp what's going on -- and what YOU need to do. http://www.oneplace.com/Ministries/Focus_on_the_Family/Default.asp You can find YOUR senators' email addys here: http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm If you want to CALL, their office numbers are also listed here. EMAIL AND CALL (you surely have some free LD minutes you can devote to saving your First Amendment rights?). Let's put the com system up there into MELT-DOWN -- while it's still legal to do so! And if this post "annoyed" you because you don't really care about this "political stuff," YOU are a big...

Send Feed Back to the TVC  mail@traditionalvalues.org   Re: Opposition to S. J. Res. 1 the Marriage Protection Amendment Because of the Second Sentence Dear Senator: Traditional Values Coalition has always taken a strong position in supporting traditional marriage and opposing any statutory imitations of marriage designed to appease the homosexual lobby.   While Traditional Values Coalition supports the need for a federal constitutional amendment, because it is the only way to ensure that marriage between one man and one woman is protected, we strongly oppose S. J. Res. 1, the Marriage Protection Amendment, because of the second sentence. The situation...

Yesterday the Senate began deliberations on S. 1, the Prescription Drug and Medicare Improvement Act. Expext the debate to last a full two weeks - with final passage just before we leave for the July 4th recess. After years of false starts, political gamesmanship and dashed hopes, it looks like we're going to see a bill signed into law this year... a magnificent accomplishment for this Republican Congress and for our President. As you know, I have been working this issue for years - essentially since I first came to the Senate in 1995. Know that I won't rest until...
