Republicans Require Health Insurance for Immigrants Only
September 28, 2005 By Gene C. Gerard
Next month, Congress will consider an immigration reform bill introduced by Senators John Cornyn (R-TX) and Jon Kyl (R-AZ).

"What our police found in their car was very disturbing - weapons, explosives, and a remote control detonator. These are the weapons of terrorists. We believe these soldiers were planning an attack on a market or other civilian targets." Sheik Hassan al-Zarqani, spokesman for the Mehdi Army
We are only interested in one thing regarding the melee that broke out in Basra following the arrest of two British commandoes on September 20: whether or not the car they were driving contained (…)

You people who are out here protesting, you are the shock troops battling to preserve our cherished freedoms. You know our freedoms are not under attack from the remnants of Saddam Hussein’s Bathist Party. They’re under attack by the likes of John Ashcroft. (…)

MICHAEL Brown, the former US government emergency director aggresively defended his role in responding to Hurricane Katrina yesterday, blaming Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin for failing to communicate.
Mr Brown, who resigned as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) after being removed of responsibility for New Orleans, told a congressional panel set up by Republican leaders to investigate the response to Katrina: "My biggest mistake was (…)

Crowd counting isn’t an exact science. And even at its best, it’s not much of a proxy for a well-conducted public opinion poll. But still, isn’t it at least a little interesting to compare the numbers generated by the big antiwar protest in Washington Saturday with the two pro-war rallies that came before and after it?
As Jeff Horwitz writes in Salon, the organizers of Saturday’s protest "claimed as many as 250,000 demonstrators attended; though D.C. police estimates were more (…)

By Rev. Ted Pike 6-29-5 The Anti-Defamation League’s new, tougher hate bill, "The Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005," HR 2662, if passed, will very soon end FREE SPEECH and FREE SPEECH TALK RADIO.

The rumors are true this time. I was arrested in front of the White House today. It was my first time ever being arrested.
We proceeded from Lafayette Park to the Guard House at the White House. I, my sister, and other Gold Star Families for Peace members and some Military Families requested to meet with the President again. We again wanted to know: What is the Noble Cause? Our request was, to our immense shock and surprise, denied. They wouldn’t even deliver any letters (…)
