First, they wanted to tell us what we can take for medication, next it was what & when we can drink and now it's what we can eat. Where will we draw the line? I think it's time for a rebellion.

my soon to be ex, filed a protective order on me, falsely, about a month ago. He told me he was sorry and did it out of anger and that it whould not go through because he had to call them to put it through. Truns out, it did go through, i was not served because he gave them no adress to me, even though I live with him. now he refuses to go and do what is right since he based it on false information, one big lie. I have no clue what he said I did to him and am going this afternoon to get the actualy paper work so i can find out. Does this go on my record and will it revoke my hand gun liscense. Also, can I have charges or sue him, if I have to fight this in court. It will be easy to fight, so im not concerned with that. But do I even have to fight it??? Or is there an easier way. Thank you so much.

proclaiming the term Illegal Alien not nice. Since they want to throw out laws protecting our borders, why not throw out all laws. If the govt. is going to ignore these laws why should we obey any laws?

I read that labour have given the Local councils the go-ahead to interview around 10000 people/ homes, and interview them on subjects ranging from how much money they earn to what is the

They say the first interviews will be voluntary (rewarded with a book of first class stamps for people who volunteer ) .

Here's an idea: let me eat what I want to eat. Not everyone wishes to become a bean sprout eater.

Why do liberals want us to believe that it was they who freed the slaves and marched for equal rights? Is it because they need blacks to get hooked on their government handouts and Affirmative Action to keep them enslaved to their party?

It took me 5 years of "filling-out-forms" within a 30 and 60 day time limit, and going to three different doctors,which I paid "out-of-pocket" to prove that I`m carrying 33# of foreign object inside my body and am 100% disabled. So, is it true that OUR government is going to allow "illegal aliens" to have rights-to-social-security-benefits without proper,legal documentation just because some in D.C.[who have family ties and will benefit] are pressing for the unlawful invaders to be allowed "privileges" in the U.S. that wouldn`t be allowed by their country of orgin. There is NO foreign country that would allow an American citizen to go into their country illegally and "demand" rights to their benefits that ONLY the legal citizens of that country deserved. So, WHY is this country even considering such a disgraceful action?? Have those "in power" lost ALL sense of decency and lawful behaviour??

By that I mean: Generally, I want people who are a little more liberal in local/county positions (except schools), people who are about center in state positions and people who are more conservative in federal positions.

Does anyone else look at things like this?

MEXICO CITY - As drug wars raged along other parts of the U.S.-Mexican border, things had remained mostly quiet in the Sonoran town of Agua Prieta.

Not anymore.

On Monday, assassins gunned down Police Chief Ramón Tacho Verdugo, spraying more than 40 bullets at him in an ambush outside police headquarters in this town near Douglas. The motive is murky, but it almost certainly involved control of the smuggling routes into Arizona, Mexican and U.S. officials said Tuesday. advertisement




"Rival organizations are vying for control of these lucrative corridors," said Ramona Sanchez, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. "(Tacho's murder) is a reminder of how violent these criminal organizations are, and they will continue to use whatever means they need."

Tacho's death followed a number of drug-related killings in Agua Prieta and the Dec. 9 arrest of Carlos "Calichi" Molinares from nearby Naco on drug-smuggling charges in Tucson.

State and city police were on high alert and patrolling Agua Prieta for fear of further violence, said José Larrinaga, a spokesman for the Sonora attorney general. Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano was "very concerned" about the attack and asked federal and state law enforcement officials to meet with border sheriffs to exchange information about border violence, said Dennis Burke, her chief of staff.

With Tacho's death, Agua Prieta joins a growing list of Mexican cities where hit men have gunned down police chiefs. At least 12 have died in the past year, including top lawmen in the border cities of Tijuana and Nuevo Laredo.

The killings have many police thinking twice about taking the top post. The Sonoran town of Naco, for example, has had 12 police chiefs in the past three years. The last one to resign was Tacho's brother, Roberto Tacho Verdugo.


An Old-West lawman


With his cowboy hats and Western shirts, big belt buckles and wide mustache, Ramón Tacho looked the part of the Wild West sheriff. He had a talent for music and had even recorded an album of traditional Mexican music and corridos, romantic cowboy-style ballads. That style helped make him one of Agua Prieta's most high-profile officials, said Ray Borane, mayor of Douglas, which lies just across the border.

Tacho was head of Sonora's state detective force before becoming police chief in Naco, then in Cananea. He took over Agua Prieta's police force in September. Borane said Tacho was a good lawman and had made some important arrests.

But his flamboyant manner also fed rumors of ties to drug traffickers.

"Because of things people said about him - his way of dressing, acting and the way they executed him - it was said he was 'compromised,' " said Luis Arvayo, a reporter for El Imparcial newspaper who covers crime in Agua Prieta.


The attack


On Monday, Tacho was walking to his car with a group of aides at about 5 p.m. when a Jeep Grand Cherokee and a Jeep Liberty roared up to police headquarters. Gunmen inside opened fire with AR-15 assault rifles, firing more than 40 bullets at the police chief, said Larrinaga of the Sonora Attorney General's Office.

Tacho was hit in the chest, stomach and leg. Another bullet grazed a paramedic at the nearby Red Cross headquarters.

Police returned fire, and the two vehicles sped off. The Grand Cherokee was found abandoned a few streets away. Tacho underwent emergency surgery at Agua Prieta's Latino Hospital but died about 90 minutes after the attack, Larrinaga said.


Drug wars come home


It was the most brazen assassination in Agua Prieta since gunmen killed the regional commander of the Federal Preventive Police in July 2003. The Arizona border had been mostly quiet since then, even as pitched battles raged between drug lords in Nuevo Laredo, Tijuana and other border points.

Police commanders are frequent targets in those places. In June, gunmen killed Nuevo Laredo's police chief less than seven hours after he took the job. In November, an assistant police chief in Tijuana was found shot and dismembered near police headquarters.

The Arizona border is controlled by the Sinaloa cartel of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. That cartel has struck an alliance with the neighboring Juarez cartel, leading to relative peace along Arizona's southeastern border.

But on Jan. 19, Tacho's officers arrested a Sinaloa man on charges of carrying out the execution-style slaying of two men in an Agua Prieta backyard on Jan. 3. And on Thursday, two drug-smuggling suspects were found dead, their faces slashed with a knife or razor.

Larrinaga said it was still too early to tell if Tacho's death was part of a broader drug war in the area. He said that murders statewide have declined in the past year.

"We can't consider this a red flag yet," Larrinaga said.
