Women in the U.S. House and Senate will strive to educate other women about the importance of being screened for heart disease by getting tested themselves to promote "Woman's Heart Day."

Female lawmakers, such as Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, Maryland Democrat, and Rep. Julia Carson, Indiana Democrat, are among those who have agreed to undergo public screening tomorrow for heart disease, the nation's No. 1 killer of all Americans and women.

They will be checked for glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure levels and more. Results will be provided on-site at the Capitol. Washington Times

Of course, Sen. Hildebeaste is exempted, as she has no - well, you know.

Michelle Malkin on how the "Hillary amendment" subverts immigration law and endangers Americans:

The Hillary amendment will prevent the Department of Homeland Security from taking any action to deport spouses or children of September 11 victims who: crossed the border illegally; overstayed visas illegally; evaded prior deportation orders illegally; stowed away on a ship illegally; smuggled other illegal aliens; used fraudulent documents; falsely claimed U.S. citizenship; voted illegally; have a communicable disease or who failed to present documentation of having received vaccination against vaccine-preventable diseases; have a physical or mental disorder and behavior associated with the disorder that may pose, or has posed, a threat to the property, safety, or welfare of the alien or others; or are likely at any time to become a public charge. link

I am in full support of Health Screening. However, I'm dubious about posting the results on line. Are the men's vitals posted on line? I doubt it. If EVERY elected official in the House and Senate makes this info available on line, then I support it.
