If it were on our soil (USA), we probably wouldn't need to initiate a draft, but it would be done in a state of emergency. Why can't pressure be put on the Iraqi's to establish their own military with the assistance of military equipment instead of American and other countrie's blood?
Is it possible they aren't as interested in "Liberty" as we see it?

Most Popular Change Type Size Employers sanction carry fines
Mary Jo Pitzl
The Arizona Republic
Feb. 23, 2007 12:00 AM

Anyone who suspected an employer had an illegal worker on staff could file a complaint with law enforcement, under the terms of a beefed-up Arizona employer penalty bill.

The minimum fines for lying about having an illegal worker on staff were reinstated, as Rep. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, moved to bulk up the bill that had been watered down by fellow Republicans earlier in the week.

"Quit being a jellyfish on this," Pearce said of the legislative back-and-forth on the touchy issue of employer sanctions. "When are we going to stand up on this?" advertisement




Pearce succeeded in reinstating some of the muscle in his House Bill 2779 a day after key provisions had been removed by House leadership. Pearce said some of the changes had not been agreed to, and he reversed that in the Appropriations Committee on Wednesday. His amendments to restore many portions of the bill passed on an 11-4 vote.

The action means it would be impossible for an employer to avoid a fine. The bill levies fines if an employer were found to have lied on an affidavit stating that he or she did not hire an illegal worker. The new minimum for fines is $2,500, up from zero.

The changes also remove the requirement that any complaints be written and signed.

Another key part of the bill that was removed earlier in the week will be put in a separate bill, Pearce said.

That is the method of verifying that an employee is authorized to work in the United States and has a valid Social Security number. The original version of Pearce's bill required employers use a federal computer database called the Basic Pilot Program to check on employment status.

Law is not so much what legislatures declare it to be; law, instead, is the complex of norms and expectations that motivate most people in a community. In some states – including, I believe, Georgia, Massachusetts, and Mississippi – the legislative codes still prohibit sexual intercourse between unmarried persons. Suppose you’re a resident of one of these states and you’re called to jury duty. The case is State v. Jones, where the state government is prosecuting Ms. Jones (an adult) for having voluntary sex with her boyfriend (also an adult) in the privacy of their own home. Would you vote to convict Ms. Jones even if both Jones and her boyfriend admit that they are not married to one another but that they routinely have sex with each other in private?

Would you find it compelling if someone argued “Look, I personally have no problem with unmarried adults voluntarily having sex with each other. But the law’s the law! If unmarried adults want to have sex, let them do it legally;

I want to know what others think, I believe that government officials should be knowledgeable of the public’s opinion but worry of the common welfare of the nation when forming a policy. The public opinion should be put into consideration more in some issues than in others. An example would be segregation in the past, the government in this situation should have not listened to the public's opinion since it was a prejidice opinion, but the common welfare of the country which outlawed segregation.

Here's just one of the quotes that he made to FBI agents during a sting operation:
"The thing is, what I'm trying to do is establish the very thing that you talked about. That tie to the district, that's all I need, from then on -- I'm gonna be there 20 years in that goddamn Congress. I don't want to screw it up by some little goddamn thing along the way"

Now, Murtha is the 'point man' for the dems congressional attack against our armed forces and the right arm of Nancy Pelosi who, by the way, promised to 'root out corruption' in congress wherever she finds it! Nice job Nancy.....

You dont have to be a republican or a democrat to know this guy ought to be prosecuted, thrown out of congress & lose his pension!

My husband was injured as a direct result of the restaurant's negligence. The injuries are minor - but he did have to go to the ER and he is in a lot of pain (glass in his eye...it's a long story). I am missing work, and he has a bunch of follow up appointments to make now to make sure he has no long term damage to his eyes.

What's my next course of action?

The U.S., China and Russia have refused to sign the land mine treaty and oppose the Norwegian initiative on cluster bombs.

"OSLO, Norway - Forty-six nations adopted a declaration Friday calling for a 2008 treaty banning cluster bombs, saying the weapons kill and maim long after conflicts end and inflict "unacceptable harm" on civilians, particularly children."
