Of the millions of Municipal, County, State and Federal laws, how can citizens pull together to have changes to various statutes brought forth for public debate and vote?

Will Universal Health Care make the health system better for all or will it make it worse for all. Will we all end up with a Medicaid type of coverage with long waiting lists for essential services, government health care workers that don't care about the quality of their service, a system designed & operated in the same model as the U.S. Postal Service. In other words will misery be spread across our land? With the exception of course for those with political power and connections, those who foisted the plan upon the people, the Clintons, Pelosi, Kennedy, the entire Democratic leadership, Do you really believe that they will stand in line with the public & be told that the next available appointment is in 6 months?

You'd have to repeal the 16th Amendment to do that. Changing the Constitution is virtually impossible in this era.

I will be in the ROTC program at my college when i return from BCT this summer. I scored an 80 on the ASVAB and would love to earn the right to try Ranger school.

The main reason i want to know about promotion time is because i have yet to decide if i am going active duty or national guard, so if someone knows the time frame for both areas of service that would be very helpful.

Ron Paul has the option to accept $18,000,000 dollars this month from the governmment to fund his campaign, it's called Federal Matching Funds. He has chosen not to do so while every other canidate has elected to spend taxpayer money in thier pursit of more power. Why has Ron Paul elected against it? The answer is becuase he is a man of principal and backs up his words with his actions, since he is against government spending and taxation and supports the constitution it would be immoral for him to take this money. THe real question is why do the other canidates take our money to further their nefarious plans?

What are your feelings regarding gay marriage?

Does a potential candidate's endorsement in favor of/opposing gay marriage REALLY influence your view of that candidate and whether or not you will vote for them?

I'm interested in Conservative and Liberal viewpoints on this issue, particulraly those that leave religion out of the argument for or against it.

Reuters reports today that an Italian family named their son after the day he was born, which is Friday. After 15 months, a tribunal has ordered that he be called Gregory because they want to protect him from the stigma attached to the man in the Robinson Crusoe story. They say the name is going to cause him pain in society also, that he ought to have a Christian name.

The choice of Friday may be unusual and the world may think whatever it feels, but whose child and why does it matter what others think? I am certain that is where their interest in that child ends. He would not be privileged to turn to them for anything if the need arose.

As a trucker I have to follow Federal laws anyway, so why not just have a federal ID?
makes too much sense to me!
it could have a RFD chip and a bar code together as far as that goes. I am not scared and I have nothing to hide (it is easier to hide in a crowd anyways) I am tired of people thinking that driving is a "right" it should be a privilege. I would lose my whole livelyhood if I lost my license and end up in the poor house but I have come to terms with this and think it should be a nationwide agenda to keep highways safe and secure.
why arn't we moving forward with this??

I'm looking for a nice bolt-action. I went to Scheel's Sports last night and found a nice Stevens/Savage Arms .30-06 for around $350 and a couple smaller calibers for around the same price. All of them come with a package and all they really need is a final sight-in.

Is this a good deal? What should I consider for a first bolt-action and what kind of other informations?

If your government was innevitably heading towards one of these extreme ideas, which one would you prefer.

Just for this semi-hypothetical situation, you can't stop it, and there isn't going to be any revolution anytime soon. Which would you pick and why?

I broke it two years ago and still have some pain. I broke the bone in my calf and have a titanium rod in it from the surgery. I am slightly limited in movement and have pain, would this exclude me from coast guard?
