Hi. My husband and I are from another country and we've been in the U.S. working temporarily. Our time here is about to expire and, therefore, we will leave the U.S. back to our country in January 2008. During the time we were here we had 2 children. One is now 2 years old and the other one is only 6 month. They both have their American birth certifcates, Social security and American passports. I heard that if I take them away from here before a certain age they may lose their American citizenship. Is that true? We will have to leave the country anyways bc we don't want to be here illegaly, but I would consider asking for some sort of extension to make sure they don't lose their citizenship. If you know the answer please list your source. Thank you so much!

Obviously Congress failed horribly with their recent attempt to tackle the immigration issue. American voters have made it clear they oppose "amnesty" in almost any form.
My question is, will National (biometric) ID cards be the next step, or at least an inevitable step that the federal government will take to "secure our borders"?
If so, should ID cards be distributed only to undocumented migrants, or the entire population?

Choose one person from each party...

Democrat - Clinton, Obama, Edwards

Republican - Giuliani, McCain, Romney

[Essentially, I am only posting the names of candidates who have double-digit support in the polls. Also, I'm leaving out candidates like Fred Thompson who have not officially declared their candidacy].

I'm a just-starting freelance photographer. Do I need to send in every single picture I take to be copyrighted? Somehow that doesn't seem right to me, so I must be misunderstanding something. I mean I could take countless pictures a day. Can someone please clear it up for me?

Would they start to represent that majority opinion.
Would they last long in office if they ignored it.
In other words, can direct democracy be a working model for government.
It seems to work for the Swiss.

Is this the craziest thing you have heard of in hours or since Bush seems to have a cloaking device that covers everyone he has had a conversation with or any of his appointees over the last 7 years . http://www.bet.com/News/NWORDFUNERAL.htm?wbc_purpose=Basic&WBCMODE=PresentationUnpublished

If you've never taken the time to read questions AND answers in the politics section, do so - it'll open your eyes. There are a lot of angry people, doing nothing more than insulting people and placing blame on others for the world's problems. I think it would be a great idea if Y/A allowed you to flag users who complain about political issues but don't bother to ask for or present a solution. You get flagged more than a few times & you can't ask, or participate in any more questions in that particular category - because you've already proven you're not looking to solve anything, only to cause trouble.
We make ourselves look bad when we're divided on a lot of issues, and working together to come up with a solution could be a wonderful way for citizens to get involved. We could all make a difference, how great would that be?
Don't you think we'd see our politicians ignoring our wishes a lot LESS if we were all united instead of being so easily divided on EVERYTHING? Just a thought

I know the salary for a member of the United States House is something like $165,000 per year. I know most congressmen have several offices through their state's district. Do they have to pay for these offices, secretaries, etc. out of their salary, or is it provided by the government?

She told the truth about Bush and Iraq.

She has stood up to the right wing bullies that hate her for exposing their cowardice.

She actually TRIES to serve her country.

Is it knee-jerk misogyny, or just plain reaction to the fact that some people actually stand up for their country, much to the dismay of the far right?

Republican Conservatives screamed holy hell when it was leaked that President Clinton had an affair... which incidentally is not against the law or his oath of office. Now that Republican Senator David Vitter has ADMITTED to frequenting a D.C. area Madam... which incidentally IS against the law... should Democrats scream and call for his resignation?

Why is it totally unacceptable for one man to have a moment of marital infidelity but perfectly acceptable for another to visit is house of prostitution because he's "made peace with his wife"? Isn't this just the sort of double-standard conservatives thrive on?

Giuliani, Gingrich, Foley and now Vitter. All involved one way or another in a sexual scandal yet you people say nothing. But the moment Clinton drops trow you all line up, stones in hand, ready to cast him out from society.

Hypocrites... all of you!

We have a pretty free press and media and are now in the 60th year of a vibrant democracy. Of course we have along way to go as far as corruption is concerned. Is the media instrumental in increasing accountability?
