The Men of The House Of Crooks Run and tell this Man what to do! Texas Gov. George W. Bush After he and the Republicans Supervise the Country for 4 Years it will destroy the Republican Party for the Next 50 Years,Men of the House Of Crooks Relinquish your Elected Office,you are all Mentally Deficient. Bush Gets (Green) Stupid on His Face Over Reading List! Bush Caught In Book Blunder (SF Chronicle) Texas Gov. George W. Bush was asked in a survey recently to name his favorite book from childhood. He cited Eric Carle's ``The Very Hungry Caterpillar.'' Trouble is, it wasn't published until 1969 the year after he graduated from Yale. House of Crooks: These Men are leading the Republican Party to Doom,they are not Good Men they are all not Genuine! Member: Republican Party 310 First Street, S.E. Washington, DC 20003 Date: 11/4/99 From: Mr.Joseph D'Alessandro 94 Angola Estates Lewes,Delaware 19958 302-945-1554 Subject:Member # 8512 7568 1596 4858 ACLU Don't let these Men Who we Elected run our Country, Vote them out of Office they are Un-Ethical,No-Morals,and always cast the First Stone Aganist anyone they dislike they all have to many offense's to mention. Jesse Helms Aganist Woman Rights "Your tax dollars are being used to pay for grade school classes that teach our children that CANNIBALISM, WIFE-SWAPPING, and the MURDER of infants and the elderly are acceptable behavior. '' Part of the text of a fundraising mailer sent out by the Helms campaign. Billy Tauzin The Citizens of The United States Have no Civil Rights Or Constitutional Rights,Tauzens opposes FCC Docket MM 9925 LPFM Community Radio,he is in the Pocket of The NAB and Ed Frits "Soft Money" Dick Armey "The American dream is not owning your own home; it's getting your children out of it". -A statement made by Armey when asked if he felt his tax plan (which would harm the middle and lower classes) would harm the American dream of owning their own home. Bob Barr "A senator's attention span is probably less than an average juror's, so we'll need to simplify, simplify, simplify." -A statememt made by Barr in regards to the Senate preparation for the Clinton impeachment trial. Bob Barr is commonly seen as a gun-toting, NRA champion, anti-gay bigot. Barr is definitely all of these, and more. Dan Burton While Dan Burton has become a leader of the Religious Right, he does not match their espoused views. As is the case with many who belong to the Religious Right, Dan Burton is a hypocrite. He repeatedly criticized Clinton for his affairs. And yet, by many different accounts, Dan Burton was one of the most sexually prolific men in the Indiana State House and Senate. His "prowess" led to a scandal around the time that the Starr report was released. Burton, fearing an investigative report being released by either the Indianapolis Star or Vanity Fair, outed himself. Initially, he confessed vaguely to having done something wrong "If something comes out hat you read about, that you think Danny shouldn't have done, I will own up to it. I won't lie about it. I will tell the truth". In his initial acknowledgement of guilt, he never specified exactly what "it" was. However, by the end of the week Burton revealed that he had a rather odd version of "family values"...he had sired a child out of wedlock. Tom Delay "Working families trying to get by on $4.25 an hour don't really exist". -Stated while Delay and other representatives were trying to give themselves a raise. Tom Delay is very possibly the most frightening of the old Republican leadership (consisting of Newt Gingrich, Dick Armey, and Trent Lott). He's called the exterminator....in part because he used to be one and in part because he "exterminates" a wide variety of what he deems to be pests, ranging from Democratic legislation to industrial regulations. Tom Delay is the House Majority Whip, which means that he's in charge of both vote-counting and 'persuading' other representatives to vote in a certain manner. Henry Hyde Twisted: Savings & Loan Banking Scandal "...a youthful indiscretion..." Henry Hyde's characterization of a seven year affair that he had when he was 41. Henry Hyde is the long-serving Republican from Illinois. Among other things, he chairs the House Judiciary Committee and has, as such, presided over the creation of four impeachment articles against Clinton. Henry Hyde, in recent months, has been praised in the media for his "sense of fairness" and overall good character in his handling of the impeachment case. Unfortunately, the American media has largely decided to ignore Henry Hyde's past that seem to suggest that Hyde is anything but a fair-minded and good individual. Trent Lott Lott & Racism "You should still love that person [despite being a homosexual]...You should try to show them a way to deal with that problem, just like alcoholism...or kleptomania."- A statement made by Trent Lott in regards to homosexuality. Trent Lott (R-Mississippi), the Senate's 16th Majority Leader, in the most recent year has seen such opportunities for democratic reform such as tobacco legislation, campaign finance reform, and equal rights for homosexuals. Sadly for the American people, Lott and many members of the Republican-led Senate have endorsed few of these proposals. In addition, Trent Lott has proved himself to be a pawn to business such as the tobacco industry. Lott played a major role in destroying both the tobacco bill written by fellow Republican John McCain (R-AZ) and the bipartisan campaign finance reform bill submitted by Russ Feingold and John McCain. In addition, Lott has proved himself to be a bigot, both racially and in regards to sexual preference.

ON PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM SPEECH AMITAI ETZIONI* INTRODUCrION When freedom of speech comes into conflict with the protection of children, how should this conflict be resolved? What principles should guide such deliberations? Can one rely on parents and educa- tors (and more generally on voluntary means) to protect children from harmful cultural materials (such as Internet pornography and violent movies) or is government intervention necessary? What dif- ference does historical context make for the issue at hand? Are all minors to be treated the same? What is the scope of the First Amendment rights of children in the first place? These are the ques- tions here explored. The approach here differs from two polar approaches that can be used to position it. According to a key civil libertarian position, mate- rials that are said to harm children actually do not have such an effect, and even if such harm did exist, adults should not be reduced to read- ing only what is suitable for children.

    BACKLASH, BIG STAKES, AND BAD LAWS: HOW THE RIGHT WENT FOR BROKE AND THE LEFT FOUGHT BACK IN THE FIGHT OVER THE 1996 IMMIGRATION LAWS Frank Sharry* ABSTRACT This Article reflects upon the political contestation that led to the enact- ment of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act and the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, contextualizing the anti-immigration backlash and debates. Further, this Article discusses some of the ways in which immigration advocates sought to respond to that back- lash, sometimes controversially. Finally, the Article considers lessons to be learned for contemporary discussions over immigration reform, highlighting the changing political landscape and available paths through which advo- cates might successfully achieve fair and meaningful immigration reform. * Founder and Executive Director (2008–present), America’s Voice and America’s Voice Educa- tion Fund; Executive Director (1990–2008), National Immigration Forum.

  • New York's Political Resurgence
    April 8, 2015 New York’s political resurgence by JOSHUA SPIVAK New York, once a center of America's political world, long ago fell on hard times. Where the state was once practically guaranteed a slot on at least one of the presidential tickets, it has been many years since a New Yorker was a real contender for the presidency. And the record in Congress has been even worse — there the state always underperformed. But that may all be changing in a hurry. Former Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) is the overwhelming favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination and now, thanks to the retirement of Sen. Harry Reid, (D-Nev.), Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) is the likely next Democratic Leader in the Senate. For the first time in decades, the Empire State may be a state on the political rise. Schumer’s ascension may be the biggest break with history. For the better part of a century, New York was the presidential incubator. But the state has never been particularly successful in Congress. No New Yorker has ever served as Senate Majority or Minority Leader. It had one Minority Whip — the first one ever, back in 1915. Since then, no other New Yorker has served in the top two positions in the upper chamber. New Yorkers haven’t exactly grabbed the reigns in the House either — the state has only elected two Speakers of the House — the last one, Theodore Pomeroy, left office in 1869. Even the lower leadership positions have been bereft of New Yorkers. The state has provided one House Majority Leader — the very first one, Sereno Payne.

  • USA PATRIOT Act of 2001: We Deserve Less
    Critique: A worldwide journal of politics USA PATRIOT Act of 2001: We Deserve Less Kyle M. Groenewold Eureka College At what point does the cost to civil liberties from legislation designed to prevent terrorism outweigh the added security that [the] legislation provides? -Sandra Day O’Connor On 26 October 2001 President George W. Bush signed into law the USA Patriot Act of 2001: Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (hereinafter referred to as USA Patriot Act, Patriot Act, or the Act). This new piece of legislation was intended to give intelligence and law enforcement agencies at both the federal and state levels new legal powers to gather information on prospective “enemies of the state.” The Patriot Act was proposed and pushed through Congress just six weeks after the events of 11 September with the fear, anxiety, and panic of the time. Such an atmosphere allowed for an act that includes surveillance powers that have overstepped the boundaries of civil liberty protected by the U.S. Constitution. The horrific events of September 11th left most Americans in a state of fear and shock. For most the questions immediately arose: Who is responsible for this? Why did they do it? How could this happen here? Next, after the assailants were identified (openly claimed responsibility), the questions came: Why had not the government seen this coming? Where was the lapse or misstep in intelligence? We knew these terrorist organizations were plotting against us, right? Why did not the government stop it from happening? Many in the intelligence communities of our nation were glad to see and hear these questions being asked.

  • Kay Bailey Hutchison, Allan Shivers, Jr., Treasurer Not Printed at Taxpayer Expense
    K AY B AILEY HUTC HISON January 2, 2009 Dear /Salutation/, Our state can do better. Faced with uncertain times, Texas must have leaders who look forward. We must start now to bring bold, innovative leadership to Austin. Ten years of one man in the Governor’s office has left challenges unanswered, too little trust and consensus, and too much infighting. This tone comes from the top and we can do something about it. Texans expect their leaders to bring people together, focus on positive results and do what is best for Texas. I believe Texans want new leadership and deserve a government in Austin that listens and responds. That’s why I’m forming an exploratory committee so I can begin organizing a campaign for Governor. I am not yet an official candidate, but Texas law requires this first vital step and I need your help. We must begin working today to rebuild our party. Do you share my concern that our state budget has doubled in ten years? Are you concerned that our state government ignores private property rights and property owners in a quest to cover our state with massive Toll Roads? Are you tired of the mismanagement of state government and the scandals? For example, after the Texas Youth Commission had to be put in receivership, new revelations about sexual assaults and abuse scandals have put the Commission once again under investigation. State Schools are being investigated by the Justice Department and were warned three times in three years for continuing to allow mistreatment of mentally retarded, physically handicapped and mentally ill Texans.

  • You're Fired! Boehner Succumbs to the Republican
    September 28, 2015 You’re fired! Boehner succumbs to the Republican way of leadership by JOSHUA SPIVAK After years of threats, Republican House backbenchers have finally succeeded in effectively ousting House Speaker John Boehner. Boehner, who announced his impending resignation on September 25, joins what once was a very small club but is now growing every few years — the list of Republican congressional leaders who have been tossed to the side by their internal party dynamics. A look at their record shows that “you’re fired” is not just the favored phrase of their party’s current presidential front-runner. Boehner’s failure to maintain power mirrors some of recent predecessors. It is a bit surprising to see the successful coups, as the speaker of the House is easily the most powerful congressional job. Unlike the Senate majority leader, a powerful speaker can bend the House to his will. The roles of speaker and majority or minority leader were historically so powerful that John Barry, in his book on the Jim Wright speakership, The Ambition and the Power, compared a successful attack on the speaker or minority leader to regicide. And yet the Republicans have been very willing to launch these broadsides against their own party leaders. The most prominent example was former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who was credited with leading the Republicans back into the House majority after 40 years in the minority wilderness. But when trouble came, his party faithful were quick to turn. In 1997, other top leaders, including Representative Boehner of Ohio, looked to force out Gingrich.

Eventually, she attracted a bevy of male suitors. “It was very funny, because at one time I was dating four Larrys, four Jerrys and two Johns. And I didn’t know who I was talking to. I would make a date with someone and I wouldn’t know who it was. I didn’t know who was going to show up.

  • The Last White Election?
    mike davis THE LAST WHITE ELECTION? ast september, while Bill Clinton was delighting the 2012 Democratic Convention in Charlotte with his folksy jibe at Mitt Romney for wanting to ‘double up on the trickle down’, a fanatical adherent of Ludwig von Mises, wearing a villainous Lblack cowboy hat and accompanied by a gun-toting bodyguard, captured the national headquarters of the Tea Party movement in Washington, dc. The Jack Palance double in the Stetson was Dick Armey. As House Majority Leader in 1997 he had participated in a botched plot, instigated by Republican Whip Tom DeLay and an obscure Ohio Congressman named John Boehner, to topple House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Now Armey was attempting to wrest total control of FreedomWorks, the organization most responsible for repackaging rank-and-file Republican rage as the ‘Tea Party rebellion’ as well as training and coordinating its activists.1 Tea Party Patriots—a national network with several hundred affiliates—is one of its direct offshoots. As FreedomWorks’ chairperson, Armey symbolized an ideological continuity between the Republican con- gressional landslides of 1994 and 2010, the old ‘Contract with America’ and the new ‘Contract from America’. No one was better credentialed to inflict mortal damage on the myth of conservative solidarity. Only in December did the lurid details of the coup leak to the press. According to the Washington Post, ‘the gun-wielding assistant escorted FreedomWorks’ top two employees off the premises, while Armey sus- pended several others who broke down in sobs at the news.’2 The chief target was Matt Kibbe, the organization’s president and co-author with Armey of the best-selling Give Us Liberty: A Tea Party Manifesto.
