Politics & Government - 19 November 2006

Me and my girlfriend were pulled over last night in my car.She was found with a gram of meth.On her after it was found on her she said it was hers. I was taken out of the car before it was found on her.They then searched the car found nothing else loaded us up in the police trucks took us to the jail house confined us for 3 to 4 hours before telling us what we were being charged with.They still have failed to read us our rights.I don't understand how I can be charged with something I didn't posess.If there is something wrong with this what should I do.

The 1st link below shows the federal government is abandoning autopsy procedures to determine if there's a connection between micronized dust from 9/11 and the deaths of the first responders who risked their down at Ground Zero.

If you stand by your country, and you stand by the heroes that day, watch the second link - a film which shows how these heroes have been treated since 9/11. It only takes a half hour. They earned it.

Are we to forget these heroes? Is it not our responsibility to give those who risked their lives the support they deserve? what can we do to stop this injustice?

I heard that you could go to jail or pay some ridiculous fine, but I'm not sure, especially since that stupid politician decided it'd be cool to reinstate the draft (which is political suicide).

I was wondering what would happen if one decides to refuse the draft? And what exemptions the draft has (like being phyiscally unfit to go)? Makes me bite my nails =(

What are some careers/professions you cannot do with a DUI or UAD charge? I heard that you can't get a job as a teacher. Is that correct?

I am a proud republican. I stand by my president, not because he is also a republican, but because I have pride in my country and my presidents ability. When people voted in early november, I believe the voted against the president rather then for the candidates themselves. Why?

Well- If you haven't heard. Democrats are calling for a draft. So essentially, the promises they made prior to the election, well they were FALSE. I find it hilarious...Democrats- so typical. They tell AMERICANS i CAN get your troops out of IRAQ. TRUST ME. AND THEN NOW WE FIND OUT THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO START A NEW DRAFT. wow.

ONE QUESTION FOR THE DEMOCRATS:

"ARE YOU HAPPY YOU VOTED AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH NOW? ARE YOU CONTENT THAT YOU VOTED FOR PEOPLE YOU DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT? BECAUSE NOW ALL THE NEWLY-ELECTED DEMOCRATS ARE LAUGHING IN YOUR FACE. THEY WON. THERE WILL BE A DRAFT."

=(


God help us all if mama Clinton wins the next election.

I think the military of our nation is too small and unable to mobilize in sufficient numbers to be successful in a war situation. We needed three-times the hundred-thousand troops to be successful in Iraq, but the military leaders say they would be hard pressed to get an additional 20,000 troops. I believe we need a bigger, stronger military if we want to fight terrorism. Donald Rumsfeld's inept policies have left us vulnerable. What do you think?

Thomas Jefferson indicated that education of the public was essential for democracy to flourish in the United States. The public must have adequate information about potential public officials prior to voting.

What might Jefferson say about modern campaigns and the modern public??

Thanx a bunch for all your Feedback!!! <3

Given the choice between the United States of America and the European Union, which do you think has the most going for it culturally/poltically/economic... etc?

There is a view among many Europeans that Americans are less culturally sophisticated and and "gung-ho" about war, while Americans often view "old Europe" as being appeasers or arrogant.

From a personal perspective it would seem that the USA is better for finding work and keeping what you earn, but Europe is better for avoiding the kind of religious fundamentalism that is prevalent in many American States.

Why is there so much video fakery on 9/11 ?
How is it that guys who actually studied the 'plane' videos of 9/11 frame by frame are the same ones who say almost unanimously they are fake ? Just a coincidence right ?

Americans get upset when "illeagal aliens", cross the border yet no one stops long enough to figure out why! The US is always bragging about diversity and culture yet many Americans get angry when they hear other languages beside English in public places. If the US wants to be diverse and different, why do they care? English is on of the hardest languages and yet no one considers the fact that it may be hard to learn. This topic annoys me so much! Also, WIC cards are being misused. The US government provides them to help familys that are down and need some support. These dats people actully live off of them. I see it everyday. What is your opinion about these topics...

Saddam is out. Bush repeated over and over again that our mission was to provide the Iraqis with liberty, freedom and democracy.
if so, today, five years later, what are we doing to provide these things?

If our nation becomes unsettled because of inner turmoil, will this makes us vulnerable to countries who would like to invade or destroy us? Is that why illegals are pouring in like water over Niagra? Is that why 30 % of illegals are other than Mexican? Is this about letting Mexico be the lead-in force for our downfall?
