Let's say if the President wanted to combine the DEA with the U.S. Coast Guard could he do that?

Or would he have to ask permission from Congress to do it?

What about Iraqi children being tortured? Will you call your elected Representative and register your official outrage?
********************
>>Child prisoners abused and tortured<<


Oct. 25- Iraqi NGOs have raised concerns about the condition of children in local prisons, saying they are abused and tortured during interrogation.

"Children are being treated as adults in Iraqi prisons and our investigations have shown that they are being abused and tortured," said Khalid Rabia'a, a spokesman for the Prisoners' Association for Justice (PAJ).

"Our investigation started after families brought their five sons to our organization looking for psychological help for their children who were recently released from prison, and what we found out was shocking," Rabia'a added.

According to Rabia'a, child prisoners between 13 and 17 are being accused of supporting insurgents and militias.

I need to know what happened during 1904-1919, 1920-1929, 1930-1939, 1940-1949, 1950-1959, 1960-1969, 1970-1979, 1980-1989, 1990-1997, so I might need a pretty detailed site.

It does not have to be a huge essay, short bullet points would be perfect.

Also, what were some main ideas of Deng and what contributions did he give to China?

Thanks a lot

"Sen. Hillary Clinton has topped all 2008 presidential contenders in total campaign contributions from members of the “health professionals” industry with more than $1.6 million. In fact, Clinton has brought in a total of $2,645,639 from the “health” sector."

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=23080

More interesting info:

Clinton claims that we need a government takeover of the health care system because 47 million Americans remain uninsured. But that's a grossly misleading figure.

The Census Bureau's estimate of 47 million "uninsured" is based on a survey question that asks the respondents if they "were not covered by any type of health insurance at any time in that year."

In other words, if you're uninsured for a single day of the year, the government considers you "uninsured."

Second, the Census Bureau includes 10.2 million non-citizens in its estimate. Does Sen. Clinton intend to admit non-citizens into her plan?

Finally, the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that 19 percent of those without health insurance earn more than triple the federal poverty level but choose to forego coverage. Kaiser also estimates that 25 percent of those without health coverage are eligible for Medicaid or SCHIP but have not signed up.

With scarce government resources, does it make sense to lavish subsidies on folks who make thousands more than the average U.S. family?

When all is said and done, only about 15 million Americans or 5 percent of the population are truly unable to obtain health insurance. And that doesn't mean they must do without medical care when they need it.

It hardly makes sense to jump to a government remedy in order to meet the exceptional needs of just 5 percent of the population when our current system delivers top-notch care to the other 95 percent and some significant level of protection to those who are uninsured.

The vast majority of Americans have coverage that gives them reasonably affordable access to the best health care system in the world. As the debate on Sen. Clinton's plan unfolds, voters should resist the imposition on America of a system that has already failed throughout the world.
