I explained to both of their offices how I feel. The girl on the phone said they have been receiving a ton of calls and that the Senator(democrat) is voting against the bill.
The tide can turn if we voice our opinion and don't give up. Have you called your senators yet. Emailed? Called again?

On April 24, 2007, U.S. House Representative Dennis Kucinich introduced H.Res. 333, calling for articles of impeachment to be sent to the U.S Senate with regards to Vice President Richard B. Cheney.
The grounds of the proposed impeachment are that the Vice President 1) fabricated a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction, 2) purposely manipulated the intelligence process to deceive the citizens and Congress of the United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda, and 3) has threatened aggression against the Republic of Iran absent any real threat to the United States, all in detriment to the national interest of the United States.
What do YOU think?

An overwhelming majority of the American public is against amnesty, yet it is being forced upon us by people who "know better".
What a bunch of crap. I thought the government was of the people and for the people and all that jazz.
Maybe we need to re-write that to say a government against the people, for the illegals, in support of illegals.

I feel like someone is breaking into my house and I am watching the whole thing happen but am unable to move and do something about it.

My fiance' lives in Iran and she wants to move into the US so we can get married. We heard of something known as a "Fiance' Visa", how would she get one? How long would it take for her to come here? And would it be a free ride because of the visa?

This one would be funny if it werent so serious Kennedy was at a pro immigration rally and they were showing him 300+ carboard boxes filled with 1000,000 names of supporters of the immigration bill but a curious reporter began examinting the boxes and found they were all empty just like the Immigration bill. Just another disgusting lie from the left.

I recently discovered that my identity was stolen and several "instant" department store credit cards were opened in my name. Luckily, I caught on since I got all these new cards that I didn't request, reported it, and it is now under investigation.

Anyway, I'd like to know if the merchant has any liability in providing the cards outside of checking the ID of the perpetrator when they applied for the credit and processing the forms.

The person who did this had a fake ID with my info on it, but they provided a false telephone number (not even the correct area code) which I imagine would have raised a flag.

So, would it be prudent to go after the merchants that approved the cards? If so, what kind of law practice would do this type of thing?

Bush and Rice's meetings came a day after Gen. David Petraeus, the U.S. commander in Baghdad, warned it could take as long as a decade to stabilize Iraq.

Petraeus said insurgents pushing back on newly aggressive coalition military forces have led to continued violence in Iraq, describing an ebb-and-flow of sectarian murders in Baghdad.

where I live/own have been built on faulty foundation. One building has cracking walls to the point of water seeping into units. There are other structural problems with other buildings but that is the worst. They are going after the builder, within an allowed time limitation although any docs drawn up protect the builder. They were built in 2001 & are within a 6 yr. limitation. They have repeatedly asked the builder to fix the issues but they are refusing so it has gone into litigation.

Being as such laws do not descriminate between those who payed for the p0rn and those who did not reducing child exploitation is not a valid excuse. The only way they can tell such thoughts exist is by way of the p0rn so banning the p0rn is the most effective and the only feasable way of banning the thought. Such laws enable persecution for thought crime violations and condition people for further criminalization of thought. isn't it wrong that thought is crime in america today?

Muhammed Hila Hammad Ubaydi, aka Abu Ayman, was the former aide to the chief of staff of intelligence during the Saddam regime for 30 years. Ubaydi later led the Secret Islamic Army in the Northern Babil Province and was said to have had strong ties to the former terror leader Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. He was captured April 6, 2006, in southern Baghdad.
Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri is "the former vice chairman of Saddam's Baathist Revolutionary Command Council who swore fealty to Zarqawi and provided funding for al-Qaida and significant element of the Baathist/al-Qaida converts and collaborators.
Abdel Faith Isa is a former Iraqi army officer who was later identified as an al-Qaida emir. He was captured May 6, 2004.

Abu Abdullah Rashid al-Baghdadi is "believed to be a former officer in Saddam's army, or its elite Republican Guard, who (has) worked closely with al-Zarqawi since the overthrow of the Iraqi dictator in April 2003."

I had the MOST obnoxious solicitation call the other day.

When I told him I'm on the Do Not Call list - he told me I couldn't be. So I told him to take me off his company's call list - he said he couldn't do that. Finally I inisited that he connect me to a manager - I believe they are required to do that? - and it took 15 minutes of arguing to get him to give me a name and number to call.

Before I call and chew out his boss I want to make sure I'm right on a couple things:

1) Is there still a Do Not Call listing?
2) When you request removal from a phone list, doesn't the law currently say the company must remove you?
3) I seem to recall that sometimes the regular people can't remove you, but that they all can connect you with a manager who can - is this right?

I want to be sure of myself in case it takes another 15 minutes of yelling to get my point across ... Thanks!
