Today the U.S. House of Representatives will consider H.R. 6630, a bill that would prohibit the Secretary of Transportation from allowing unsafe Mexican trucks to cross beyond the borders of the currently permitted commercial zone unless Congress authorizes it. This important piece of legislation would put a stop to the dangerous Mexican truck pilot program that the Department of Transportation (DOT) has been operating despite Congress already passing a law last year that made it illegal to do so. A clear message needs to be sent to the DOT that they are not above the law and that allowing Mexican trucks and drivers onto our nation's highways that are not held to the same safety standards as our own trucks and drivers is completely unacceptable. The passage of H.R. 6630 will send that message. Please take the time to send an e-mail to your representative today and urge him or her to vote for H.R. 6630.   Send a letter to the following decision maker(s): Your Congressperson Below is the sample letter: Subject: Put a Stop to Unsafe Mexican Trucks Dear [decision maker name automatically inserted here], I am writing to urge ...

The most despicable acts of deceit ongoing in this country... are the lies and hypocrisy... perpetrated by the people seen in this short video. Here's a video compilation you definitely won't see on main stream media. The next time you hear the expression 'Bush's war' remember this video .

A $104,655.60 Ad in the Washington Post Here is someone with the money to fund a rebuttal to what Howard Dean,  Democratic National Committee Chairman, said recently that many Republican  have never done an honest day's work in their life. The following full  page ad was placed in the Washington Post by a businessman named George J.  Esseff,  Sr. He paid $104,655.60 to run the ad and only did it because he  is sick and tired of the way that 'the rich' are portrayed by liberals these  days. It is a great read.  Maybe you're a Republican?     In today's America ask a growing number of high school and college  students, their teachers and professors, the self-anointed media elite and/or hard  working men and women of all ethnicities, the question, 'What is a Republican?' and you'll be told '... a rich, greedy, egotistical  individual,  motivated only by money and the desire to accumulate more and more of it,  at the expense of ...

I flew 4 Presidential support missions in the    C-141 out of Dover AFB, DE.. Two for President      Johnson and two for President Nixon.   Johnson was a first class jerk and on the two   occasions I flew for him, if the Secret Service and   their Liaison in the Pentagon hadn't intervened, we   would have had to stay on the airplane for hours     while he (Johnson) was off somewhere. Nixon never   required that and in the four (4) stops we made with   him he was cordial to the Secret Service and to me   and my crew.   We had a neighbor when I lived in DC who was     part of the secret service presidential detail for   many years. His stories of Kennedy and Johnson were   the same as those I heard from the guys who flew   the presidents' plane.   Yes, Kennedy did have Marilyn Monroe flown in     for secret 'dates,' and LBJ was a ...

Well, that is exactly what our so-called elected leaders-- led by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her liberal colleagues in the House -- just did. In common parlance, we call that a "twofer" and as unbelievable as it may sound, Pelosi and company have yet again proved that they have never met a socialist tyrannical despot thatthey did not like ! Here's what happened. Last week, the House passed H.R. 5351 , a bill that will jack up the prices that you and I pay at the pump for gasoline through the imposition of an $18 billion dollar tax increase ! Then they turned around and EXEMPTED HUGO CHAVEZ'S STATE-RUN OIL COMPANY, CITGO, FROM THE TAX ! Investor's Business Daily put it this way in an editorial on Friday titled, "Tax Cut for Hugo:" "It goes to show that Congress is more willing to empower dictators than to get serious about America's energy supply."
