Buchanan Posted: 07/04/2008 Not until a year after Lexington did the Continental Congress muster the resolve to declare the 13 colonies free and independent states, no longer subject to Parliament or Crown. Not for five years after July 4, 1776, did George Washington's army truly attain America's independence at Yorktown.   Even then, Washington and his aide Alexander Hamilton knew that the 13 states, while politically independent, were dependent upon Europe for the necessities of their national life. Without French ships and guns, French muskets and troops, the Americans could not have forced Gen. Cornwallis' surrender at Yorktown. Cornwallis would have sailed away, as Gen. Howe had from Boston. Indeed, absent the 1778 alliance with France, our Revolution would have been a longer bloodier affair and might not have succeeded. http://www.making-money-alert.com/off... target="_blank"> At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, both Washington and Hamilton were determined to make America's political independence permanent, and to begin to cut the umbilical cord to Europe. In the Constitution that came out of that convention, the states were prohibited from imposing any tariffs on the products of other states, thus creating the greatest common market in history, the United ...

Don't let that happen, sign our Petition now! The Senate has overwhelmingly passed a so-called "mortgage relief" bill that will set up a government slush fund to buy up these bad loans. This really should be called the "Rewarding Irresponsible Wall Street Banks " bill. Not only do you have to scrimp and save to pay off your own mortgage, but now Senator Chris Dodd and the rest of Congress want you to help underwrite other bad loans that should have never been made in the first place. ...

Of the remainder, 68 declined to provide CNN with a list, and 329 either didn't respond to requests or said they would get back to us, and didn't. ( Find out how your representative responded )   the stats are pretty bad for a congress that said they wanted to be more open!!!!

Both are lawyers with Ivy League degrees, both are liberals who like life's luxuries, and both could lose their jobs. When John Kerry won his senate seat in 1984, the Celtics were winning an NBA title with the original Big Three, and at the State House, Governor Mike Dukakis wasn't even thinking about the White House. Since then, Kerry has won three more terms in the Senate, but he hasn't won the hearts of state voters. Our exclusive 7News Suffolk University Poll proves it: Just 38% of Bay State voters hope he's re-elected in November, while 51%--more than half--want someone new. Nine per cent don't know yet what they want. "These numbers signal vulnerability. In a perfect world, this would be a huge problem for John Kerry. The hook is, is there a candidate on the ...

Kucinich Introduces Impeachment Resolution Ohio Representative and former Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has introduced H.Res.1258 , a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush . Kucinich, who had previously offered a resolution calling for the impeachment of Vice President Dick Cheney , offered a "privileged resolution"--one that must be taken up by the House within two days--containing 35 articles of impeachment, including: Creating a Secret Propaganda Campaign to Manufacture a False Case for War Against Iraq Illegally Misspending Funds to Secretly Begin a War of Aggression Invading Iraq Absent a Declaration of War Imprisoning Children Creating Secret Laws Conspiracy to Violate the Voting Rights Act of 1965 Obstruction of the Investigation into the Attacks of September 11, 2001   The Democratic leadership does not support the resolution, which is expected to be referred to the House Judiciary Committee and not be considered.
