Sen. Charles Schumer, the sponsor of the stalled campaign finance bill, promised Tuesday that Democrats would hold round-after-round of votes on it until it passes.

Dear Patriot, I am writing you to ask if you will join me in an expression of support for the principles of liberty and individual sovereignty upon which this country was founded. Too often it is easy for us to dismiss our role in the creation of our government. We feel powerless as those we elect continue to spend money we don't have and instead of serving us the citizen who works and pays the taxes instead heap rewards on those who contribute least to our country or in many cases wish to tear it and the traditions that made...

Both shows are expected to receive 13-episode orders, rather than full-season 22-episode orders.

Sen. Barbara Boxer, the pro-abortion, pro-same-sex marriage liberal firebrand first elected to the U.S. Senate in 1992, now finds herself in a tough reelection battle in November 2010, a recently published Field Poll reveals. The Field Poll, published March 18, shows Boxer trailing Republican challenger Tom Campbell 44% to 43%, with 13% undecided. Boxer holds a narrow 45% to 44% over Republican Carly Fiorina, and a 45% to 41% lead over Chuck Devore, also a Republican. As a consequence of the poll numbers, political observers are now calling the race a dead heat. (... read more at link)

San Francisco, CA -- According to the non-partisan Field Poll, 57 year old Tom Campbell has a six point lead in his effort to defeat California Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer. Campbell has 28 percent of the vote as compared to 22 percent for former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina. Assemblyman Chuck DeVore has but nine percent support. At the same time 40 percent of the Republicans polled have yet to make a decision on who they will vote for November 8. On the flip-side Boxer may in for the race of her life according to the poll which shows both Campbell...

"Emboldened Republicans have trio of candidates set to vie for Senate seat" After pulling off a Massachusetts miracle, Republicans are plotting a California coup. Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown's improbable victory in a special election for the Senate seat liberal icon Ted Kennedy held for nearly 50 years has convinced national GOP leaders they are riding a tidal wave of voter dissatisfaction that could help them take down one of their prime targets, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer. If a Republican can win in a liberal "blue" state like Massachusetts, the thinking goes, it can happen anywhere. And by anywhere, they mean...

Mr. President, it's time to face the music and help America to do the same. This Wednesday evening, you will give your State of the Union speech. And millions upon millions of us are wondering whether you will sugarcoat the truth again — whether you will pad your performance over this past year or confess that the plans and path Washington is taking are plummeting our country deeper into the abyss. If you convey the real status of the union, then you must confess that we are truly no better off (and much worse off in many respects) than we...

......... while Boxer's popularity swings with the tides and rarely reaches beyond the magic 50% level. Every six years, Republicans believe that with just the right candidate and just the right amount of money, they can knock off the woman they love to hate. And they are heartened again by a new poll showing Boxer barely leading the most likely 2010 challenger, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.

With "JAG," "Navy CIS," "MASH," and other military television shows being quite popular, one might consider with how military service has enhanced the fame of veteran actors in Hollywood or vice versa. During our distinguished history, some Hollywood actors have taken a break from their careers while they defended our country oftentimes to battle in war. These hereos include Charles Bronson, Gary Cooper, Glenn Ford, Henry Fonda, Clarke Gable, Lee Marvin, Elvis Presley, and Jimmy Stewart. More recent editions of entertainment veterans include "Limp Bizkit" lead singer Fred Durst who did service with the United States Navy. Up until...

In a so-called age of tolerance, it amazes me just how intolerant some people are of those who stand for traditional values. For example, if I stand against California's memorializing of Harvey Milk Day or stand for California's Proposition 8, which would create an amendment to the California Constitution to safeguard heterosexual purity in marriage (which I do support and encourage Gov. Schwarzenegger and all Californians to do the same), I'm considered by many to be intolerant and a bigot. But if another actor takes just the opposite positions on those measures, he is considered to be compassionate and a...

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Republican candidate John McCain may have used his song in the U.S. presidential campaign, but veteran rock 'n' roller Chuck Berry has no doubt whom he wants to see in the White House next year. "America has finally come to this point where you can pick a man of color and that not be a drawback," the legendary 81-year-old guitarist said of Barack Obama, who clinched the Democratic presidential nomination last week and would become the country's first black president if he wins in November. "It's no question, myself being a man of color ... I...

Chuck Norris and Mike Huckabee Discuss Immigration View the YouTube video and find out what Huckabee really thinks about the border.

This is the transcript from his answer at the press conference today on the Wayne Dumond Case. Governor Huckabee was asked if he had pressured the parole board to release Dumond.

I'm going to try to do it as briefly as I can, because it's been delved into repeatedly, normally during an election year. In 1992, Bill Clinton was governor; Jim Guy Tucker was Lieutenant Governor....

Since Chuck Norris is the only actor in hollywood who's not a homosexual communist, clearly any implementation of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" must by definition include at least 50% Chuck Norris movies.

Question: Where does Chuck Norris write a weekly column? Answer: Anywhere he wants. But he has chosen WND as the flagship outlet for his new commentary endeavor – in between keeping the boogeyman awake nights. Norris, the star of "Walker: Texas Ranger" and some of the biggest action pictures ever, is talking to a new generation these days as part of an Internet craze for one-liners usually labeled not as jokes but as "facts." Here are some samples: "Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that's why there are no signs of life there." "They wanted to put Chuck Norris...
