To make a long story short, my grandma and her husband, Austin, moved in with my family in Aug. 2004. She insisted that it would only be until Jan. 2005, so my parents decided no rent so they could get on their feet. Jan. came and it turned to Dec. 2005. During this time period they caused our bills to triple while giving us little to no help with it. Things became hostile and it got Ito the point where my brothers and I had to remain in the back of the house all day while my grandma and Austin took the living room and dining room. In Jan. 2006, a huge confrontation arose between my grandma and I when she threatened to hit my brother while my mom was out. I ended up having to leave for a few days and even though i was 16, i wasnt allowed to be home alone. When my dad found out about this, he told them they had to be out of our house by May 2006, but this was never enforced.
Even though they claim not to have enough to leave our house, they can afford to go on trips (more in details)

You don't have a more honest well informed candidate running for office. This man light's a fire of hope inside so many American's. He is deadly accurate about failed foriegn policy in the middle east. How many men and women will have to die before America wake's up and use's the grey matter between their ear's and stand up for a man who will vehemently defend our constituional right's as free men and women and never abuse habius corpus???? Come on, you really think the other Republican's are better suited and more honest than this man?? For freedom's sake Ron Paul in 2008!!!!!

When House Republicans passed legislation last December that secured our borders and put a premium on strict enforcement of our immigration laws, the American people had hope that their elected leaders had heard their demands.
Sadly, the legislation that is currently leading the debate in Washington shows our Senators have turned a deaf ear to the public. Despite last week’s action stopping it from coming to the Senate floor for a final vote, efforts are being made to tinker around the edges with this legislation and pass it later this year.
The better course of action is for our elected leaders to follow the no-nonsense direction being called for by hard-working, tax-paying, law-abiding citizens: Secure Our Borders Now!
The current Senate legislation is a mirror image of the approach passed by Congress in 1986 when it forced on us amnesty for illegal immigrants in exchange for border security.
The result of that misguided approach then is an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States now.
The American people are fed up and won’t be misled again. This Congress will be judged on their actions, not their words.
Congress must stop the flow of illegal immigrants across our border. Once we know who is in our country then we can take the next step in immigration reform.
The supporters of the current Senate legislation have stated that “triggers” are in place that prevent a “pathway to citizenship” until the borders are secured.
The problem is the bill’s “triggers” are basically meaningless since amnesty occurs regardless of whether the triggers are pulled. And besides, most of the triggers either are already in place or authorized by current law. For instance, Immigration and Customs Enforcement already has 27,500 detention beds, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is on schedule to have 18,000 Border Patrol agents in the next two years (they currently have almost 15,000 agents) and DHS is already required by law to build over 700 miles of fencing along the border (the 370 miles required by this “trigger” is actually a cut). In short, these “triggers” do not lead to true border security; but rather, greater insecurity for American families and businesses.
The current “comprehensive” immigration bill is purposely designed to permit the overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants to legally live and work in the U.S. from day one and eventually to become permanent residents and then citizens. This is not the outcome the American people desire.
Until Congress passes legislation that starts and ends with securing our borders and puts a premium on strict enforcement of our immigration laws, we must make our voices heard. But understand, in order to hear our voice, you must take the time to listen to what we're saying.
Should our Senators do that, they would hear the five principles that guide the American people’s resolve on immigration.
First, the American people want to secure our borders and provide additional resources to federal and state authorities to strengthen border patrol efforts. Period.
Second, they want to strengthen enforcement and stiffen penalties on those immigrants who ignore the rule of law of this country.
Third, they want to enforce current laws that prevent employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.
Fourth, they oppose all efforts to reward illegal immigrants for illegal behavior. Fifth, but every bit as important, they want to keep the door to America open. We understand our success depends on legal immigrants. Look at how our nation was built. We just ask that those wanting to live here obey our immigration laws, assimilate into our society by learning English, and embrace our common identity as Americans.
We further ask that those we have entrusted with leadership meet the expectations of the American people by passing straightforward legislation that secures our borders and enforces current immigration laws. Not too much to ask, now is it?

MORE federal control?
Less Local Control?
Why would ANYONE vote to have the Federal Government more in charge than it already is, thus taking away power from the states?
why would anyone support people in WASHINGTON making laws and decisions about what goes on in your own little community? Don't you want Local control? That way, if you don't like the laws.. you can just move to a different state....

George Bush wasted $40 million taxpayer dollars arming the Palestinian "Presidential Guards" who, with the backing of Israeli Artillery and Airstrikes launched an abortive coup to overthrow the elected government of Palestine.
End result a Hamas Victory. That's two failures in a row for Israel.

Why are gays denied the rights to military service, equal salaries, and equal protection from harrassment and bullying in school when those rights have nothing to do with homosexuality? I do find homosexuality morally wrong and I'm against gay marriage because that's actually relevant to homosexuality. So, I don't understand why military service, equal salaries, and equal protection are illegal, but that constitutional amendment banning gay marriage has not been implemented yet.

I applied for citizenship and i got my first appointment letter in the mail, it was for the fingerprinting. the problem is that i already had an airplane ticket payed for. at the bottom of the letter that i got from the USCIS it had an option to reschedule, so i had to send the letter back to my local USCIS office in Santa Ana California. My question is, Did i have to call and then send the letter or was sending the letter all i needed to do?
this problem came up because i was rushing through everything and i did not take the time to think things over.
I would like to get an answer from people who have been trough this process or people who know about this.

The violence erupting on the Gaza Strip is astounding. Hamas, a political faction struggling to retain supremacy, has beseiged Fatah's stronghold in Gaza Strip and killed many of its officials and armed militants. In retaliation the Fatahs have killed 3 Hamas legislatures, several Hamas activists and suspected individuals.
How will the Palestinian President Abbas form Fatah-Hamas coalition that will underscore both of parties' grievances? What is Condi even offering at this point?!
