Politics & Government - 5 August 2007

I am being wrongfully sued an cannot afford to hire an attorney. This man thinks I stole something from him while I was cleaning his house and I did not steal it, the police have already closed the investigation against me and have said they did not think I stole it. Well he is now trying to sue me I was served the papers 2 days ago.
Does anyone know how I can find an attorney willing to work pro bono?
thanks!

There are two similar versions of the bill. The Senate bill is outlined in the first link below, and the House in the second.

Basically, a "'Patriot Corporation' would get tax breaks and preferences in federal contracting for employers who produce at least 90 percent of their goods and services in the US and with American workers. The companies must invest in research and development domestically, provide adequate health care and pensions and--surprise--comply with federal laws like workplace safety, environmental protection and consumer regulations."

This is 9/11, pre Iraq. I am not interested in hearing Iraq as an excuse. What about BEFORE Iraq. What motivated whoever perpetrated 9/11 to their actions?

This was in response to a question just asked on "This Week" about how candidates would direct the war. It's currently playing on ABC this Sunday morning.

Paraphrasing, Rudy said that: "We need to be tough and not weak and determined to not settle for peace because you cannot negotiate with these insurgents." Was this a slip of the tongue? Does anyone else pick up on him equating "peace" with the word "weak"?

OK... I get the "not negotiating with insurgents" part, but why is "weakness" and "peace" decidedly off the table for this guy? Oh, Jesus wept!

would it be legal for American citizens to create and join a group that pledged allegience to America and the Constitution with the main ingredient being the right to bear arms? Basically what I'm asking is: could a group of patriots create a REAL militia of thousands of actively trained and armed men without being labeled terrorists and destroyed by our government?

If you look at the war in Iraq in a sensible way you could understand the reason for being there. if we let iraq become another vietnam (pulling out ) then we are opening ourselves
to an invasion of our own shores by extremeist.. we are better off fighting there than here.
Have we as Americans come so far as to believe that we
can't be invaded here in the USA. And have we become cowards afraid to fight for what we have here in America and the freedom of our children.

While millions of American grandmas and grandparents had to chose between paying for heat, buying medicines or eating dog food, Clinton and the Dems didn't give them one single dime to buy medicines.

Thank God for president Bush.! 90% of seniors are happy with their prescription coverage under Bush.

In the 1950s & 60s, every marketer of shoddy products stuck the word "Deluxe" on the box. Deluxe junk sold like hotcakes. Eventually the word deluxe was worn out and had no meaning at all. It seems like the term conservative values has also reached that point in history where it is also meaningless.
Today there is a political pundit who preaches conservative values on the radio while using illegal drugs, a presidential candidate in the conservative values party who has divorced 3 or 4 times, a seated president who has managed a fiscal deficit in all but 1 year in office.
The list could go on to include sex and bribery scandals involving the conservative values party. The events lead me to believe that the term "conservative values" has no meaning whatsoever to the leadership of the GOP.
In the 2008 election, will be be offered the "Deluxe Conservative Values package?

The estimated 9 million kids whose families make too much money to qualify for Medicaid and too little to afford health insurance. The bill, championed by that nonpartisan team of Sens. Ted Kennedy and Orrin Hatch, who crafted the first SCHIP law in 1997, would add more than 3 million, perhaps close to 4 million, to the 6.7 million already receiving health care under the joint federal-state program.

In the aftermath of 9/11, the trend in companies in the US has been to outsource jobs outside the US. There have been claims and counterclaims that this has led to a substantial increase in unemployment.

What is your take on this? why?

Dear fellow Yahoo users:
A heated debate is going on about the quantum of Sanjay Dutts sentence. The Hindustan Times followed by the rest of the media contrasted the double standards of justice meted out in the blasts trials with the absence of any justice whatsoever in the riots cases. Please read the Express link below about the Memons as well as the DNA link about the political twist to Sanjay's case. Today's news has former Commissioner of Police MN Singh openly admitting that politicians prevented prosecution of Satpotdar & co. Another channel had Soli Sorabjee's considered legal opinion that Sanjay ought to have been given relief u/Probation of Offenders Act.
In the interests of justice, perhaps several of the blasts convicts should be given parity with Satpotdar & co. - and set free immediately. Please read the links and think about it. Thank you.

The presumption of dictating to an independent nation the form of its government is so arrogant, so atrocious, that indignation as well as moral sentiment enlists all our partialities and wishes in favor of one and our equal curse against the other
