Today's ACTforAmerica e-letter brings word of some positive legislation in the works. With the recent disappointing ruling by a New York court that it can not protect American authors or journalists from overseas libel suits, it seems like MUCH needed legislation. S.6687 and A.9652, the "Libel Terrorism Protection Act" seeks to defend the First Amendment free speech rights of authors and journalis.....

With all the fuss raised over the removal of Stephen Coughlin from his position in the Pentagon, it seems to be drawing more and more attention. Found on both NewsMax.com AND the American Congress for Truth website is an article by Kenneth R. Timmerman. The title, "Firing of Islam Expert Decried." The coverage on the ACT website has an intro by Jerry Gordon.
Gordon's intro speaks not only of Ti.....

Martin Luther King was an annoyance to the Lyndon B. Johnson administration when he fought for Civil Rights, but when he branched out and spoke for the unions, encouraging striking by the sanitation workers, he was going too far and had to be stopped. So they stopped him. They had already killed a popular president and his brother, so a black activist should be no problem at all. And it wasn't......

Well, I suppose after seeing some of the recent elections here in California where we had everyone from students to a Porn Star running for Governor, I suppose this really isn't too far fetched an idea.
There are even a couple web sites that have started up regarding the issue, Lou Dobbs 4 President, and Draft Lou Dobbs for President. The ideal was covered in a NewsMax article yesterday titled,.....

Although a couple days old, it's worth bringing up as it didn't seem to get much coverage. Especially at a time when exorbitant spending is rampant. But that hasn't stopped some politicians from running wild with their "earmarks."
Case in point, John Murtha. Mister "our soldiers are mass murderers," even though those in question had been exonerated. Murtha looks to be in the lead at the moment .....

Well, well, well. Over the weekend we seem to have garnered a bit of political brawls and smears. And it really wasn't too one sided. Seems to be the order of the day now during campaigns. It would be nice to have a season of campaigns that were more on the uplifting side. But I doubt that will ever happen.
So let's dive in to some of this weekends highlights shall we?

As it turns out, there were quite a few people behind the overly exaggerated, uber-inflated death toll numbers of 600 thousand plus in the hyped Lancet Study. That number, which has echoed through the halls of media outlets for a while now, and even touted by celebrities on talk shows, namely Rosie O'Donnell, was inflated by upwards of ten times the realistic amount. Fortunately, Elisabeth Hasselb.....

The Bush Administration is finally willing to end voter fraud. Of course it is not the kind of voter fraud in which they themselves use to make presidents out of lazy, stupid, incompetents, but rather the truly important kind that might enable a terrorist to pose as an elderly, disabled, poor, black woman voting for a Democrat. Whew! That is scary. You really have to keep an eye out for those .....

In the interest of restoring the integrity of the fair elections we as United States citizens have touted as one of the many reasons to be proud of our country, let us bring back the paper ballot. Technology is great, but like anything else, it can be misused if put in the wrong hands. Elections are easily fixed when in the hands of the computer operators. The computers have no need to fix an el.....

This is something that has begun to weigh heavy on my mind over the last several elections we've had, as I'm sure it has others'. The presidential nomination process seems to be getting a bit outta whack as of late, and is looking to be in serious need of an upgrade... again.

Nixon Was Bad. These Guys Are Worse.
By George McGovern

As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.
After the 1972 presidential election, I stood clear of calls to impeach .....

Democrats, if they have a brain in their collective heads, will spend the time between now and the election and every dime of their campaign contributions on photo IDs for the voters who need them. It's as simple as that.

I couldn't have described it better myself. Posted originally on Jihad Watch and hosted as well on ACTforAmerica's site, the article was written by LTC Joseph C.

Not known for his intellect when opening the hole under his nose while on air, Chris Cuomo has bumped up his tally for stupid comments once again as shown by the Media Research Center.
Cuomo, during the Thursday morning GMA segment, was interviewing a pretty unbalanced crosscut of Iowans, three Dem's and an Independent. During his segment, Cuomo asked one of the participants about immigration. .....

This is rather disturbing news. If our own DoD personnel are no longer allowed to expound upon what really is one of the greatest threats to America and its citizens today, then what remains?

Under the tyranny of this homophobic administration, many times lending itself to the societal prejudices that demean America's gay citizens, why have these citizens not seized the opportunity presented by Jeff Gannon's many visits to the White House as a manner by which to advance their status as a formidable and serious segment of society whose rights are not to be denied them?

Okay, I have my own reasons for not supporting Obama, and those reasons have to do with the direction he wants to take America. It has absolutely nothing to do with race. To be honest, I'm not even sure what race Obama would genuinely be classified into in the first place. Is he actually considered "black?" Or, since he grew up in the Indonesian area, would he be more so considered some sort of So.....

Huckabee Truly Thinks We're Stupid. He was just about to air a commercial slamming Romney when he allegedly thought better of it and pulled the ad so the American people would think he was the nicest political candidate of them all, only showing it anyway to the press because they are just so cynical, not because he's a lying, insincere, hypocritical, disingenuous, artificial, two-faced, treacher.....

When we moved into our new house, I went into the basement to find the word "ASSHOLE" scrawled across the wall as I reached the bottom of the stairs. When I returned upstairs, I let my husband know the former owners had been expecting him.
When I see quotes like the following, I apply similar reasoning, assuming the author was expecting our current presidential administration.

We've all gotten junk mail from our government, usually right before an election, but generally all year long, just to remind us that Congress does still exist and often busies itself with things about which we care very little or nothing at all. This, however is something that should have our complete attention. U.S. House members spent $20.3 million of our taxes last year just to send us mail......

Okay, now that some time (although not much) has passed since the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, I believe enough information has been made available to tap out a few thoughts. In regards to an incident of this magnitude, perhaps it is in fact best to hold back the reigns a short while instead of trying to be "the first with the story."
Much has been said of Bhutto's position in the Pakistani.....

In the never ending drive to be one of the "beautiful people," many Americans have taken to buying up every loose 50lbs. overnight program, creams to melt off the pounds while you sleep and shunned all foods that aren't of the vegan variety.

Romney has said a few things that turned out to not be true, so why would the American voters waste a vote on this guy? Do they think that once liars are elected, they stop lying? They don't.

Bush, once again refused to comment on whatever topics he finds uncomfortable. He won't comment on anything under investigation, regardless of the fact that there are so many investigations with this administration in power, there is little else to discuss or question at a press conference. Once the investigation is over, however, we know Bush won't talk about that issue either because, "That's .....

Continuing with the theme of ineptitude of media personages, it appears that the editor of the NYTimes himself doesn't even read his own paper.
