I received a DUI in Florida in Tampa in 2004 on a trip, can I get that expunged ever? If so how do I get this done as it showed up on my back-round check for a recent employer. I live in Maryland and it does not show up on that driving record. Anyhow I would love to get that one act of idiocy off of my record for good.

John McCain has never been 'more of the same.' He takes heat from both parties and many voters because he doesn't compartmentalize into their platform of ideas neatly. If I want independence, integrity and experience, I'll vote for McCain. If I want canned answers or opinions that result from polls, not principle, I'll vote for any of several of the other candidates.

World History has been trending for a long time to larger and larger states. Starting with city states all the way to our current federation of states and nation states. It's easy to see that future world politics will most likely be controled by super states. The EU for example is one such super state that is currently forming. What do you think will the geo-political scene will look like in 50 years?

My best guess,

EU
North American Federation of States
Eastern Republic ( China, India, Russia)

BUT, she passed away in 1999! I am confused as to why I am receiving this NOW and what exactly it means. I know that when someone dies, creditors have a time period to claim against someone´s estate but why NOW? Would not that have been done in 1999?

A bit of history- her divorce was granted 2 days before she mysteriously died. Her husband (technically EX) kept everything and refused all contact with us, claiming harrassment, if we pursued any contact with him whatsoever. His attorney notified us of this via certified mail, so my siblings and I let it all go.

Now, out of the blue I get this letter from the same attorney.

Please advise as to what this is and why it is coming 8 years after her death.

Thanks in advance.

They seem like fair and honest questions to me!!

Have conservatives always lied to get elected, or is this their new tactic for the 21st century?

Have conservatives always tried to divide up the USA, or is their new tactic for the 21st century?


Why do conservatives blame liberals for their mistakes, is it because they cannot take personal responsibility, or because they are natural born liars?

Karl Rove asserted on the Charlie Rose show recently that it was Congress that pushed the Bush administration into war with Iraq. “The administration was opposed” to voting for a war resolution in the fall of 2002, Rove claimed. “It seemed it make things move too fast,” he argued.... This morning, former White House chief of staff at the time, Andrew Card, appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and completely discredited Rove’s argument.

I saw Michigan ruled against this because of the 4th amendment but the US court reversed it or something? Anyone have information on this? Does Michigan have them, or is it up to the state? Where abouts are they in Michigan?

Thanks.

If reading is hardship kinda skip this.We have security issues at home and our resources are running thin. Our education system is stretched, and immigration accounts for virtually all the national increase in public school enrollment in the last 2 decades. There is a worker present in 78% of immigrant households using at least one major welfare program, according to the same study. It’s no surprise then that often times these immigrants can afford to work for lower wages. They are subsidized by our government to do so.

Right now we are subsidizing a lot of illegal immigration with our robust social programs and it is an outrage that instead of coming to the United States as a land of opportunity, many come for the security guaranteed by government forced transfer payments through our welfare system. I have opposed giving federal assistance to illegal immigrants and have introduced legislation that ends this practice. In the last major House-passed immigration bill I attempted to introduce an amendment that would make illegal immigrants ineligible for any federal assistance. Unfortunately, that amendment was ruled "not relevant" to immigration reform. I believe it is very relevant to taxpayers, however, who are being taken advantage of through the welfare system. Illegal immigrants should never be eligible for public schooling, social security checks, welfare checks, free healthcare, food stamps, or any other form government assistance.

The anchor baby phenomenon has also been very problematic. Simply being born on US soil to illegal immigrant parents should not trigger automatic citizenship. This encourages many dangerous behaviors and there are many unintended consequences as a result of this blanket policy. I am against amnesty and I have introduced an amendment to the Constitution (H.J. Res 46) which will end this form of amnesty.

I have also supported the strengthening our border and increasing the number of border patrol agents. It is an outrage that our best trained border guards are sent to Iraq instead of guarding our borders. For national security, we need to give more attention to our own border which is being illegally breached every day, and yet the government shirks one of its few constitutionally mandated duties, namely to defend this country. Citizens lose twice with our current insecure border situation – we don’t have the protection we should have, and then taxpayers have to deal with the fallout in the form of overstretched public resources and loss of jobs.

The anger is understandable when it comes to illegal immigration and the problems with our borders. I will continue to fight in Congress for more effective ways to address these issues in keeping with the Constitutional mandate to protect America .http://www.house.gov/paul/tst/tst2007/tst120207.htm

My personal feelings are that if Hillary is the Democratic nominee, that Republican voters will come out in such a large force to prevent her from becoming President, whereas if another Democrat is the nominee, that Republicans may not come out as much, expecting an easy win over a "second-tier" candidate.

Your thoughts?
