Don't sit back quietly and let the Bush Administration violate your rights to privacy guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States! Call, write,or e-mail your congressmen and Senators today. Tell them to stop the Bush Administration's violation of the Constitution and wiretapping laws. They will listen if enough people take the time to protest this unlawfulness. Never give up and never give in!

Elizabethtown, KY--December 23, 2006

Here is my Christmas Wish List for the USA:

View Article  Election about Iraq, Republican Mess--Not Kerry's Misrepresented Remarks

Elizabethtown, KY--November 1, 2006

View Article  Republican Class Warfare

The Republican party just took three more swipes at the middle-class-- and those less fortunates who would like to join the middle-class--in order to favor the richest Americans.

In the Senate, Republican leaders threw up procedural barriers to block a vote on a minimum-wage increase proposal by Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts.  Kennedy's proposal, which appeared to have enough votes to pass, would ...   more »
