To add to the to-do list:

Go through the budget with a fine-tooth comb and CUT all unneccessary programs! Maybe each state's delegation can come up with one program to cut. Then perhaps we can pay for the new social security and medical insurance.

By the way, why is it assumed that insurance has to cover basic visits to the doctor? Does auto insurance pay for oil changes? Why not have insurance for catastrophic events, but pay for the little ones yourself, and thus have smaller premiums and less paperwork?

Dear Republicanprofessor and others,

1. Join the NAS. I am the new president of the New Jersey chapter. It is great for ideas, learning, and the best moral boster around.

2. Most professors have a great deal of leeway in which books they use. I currently use my own book , A Reader for the Politically Incorrect. But I also use books by Thomas Sowell and others.

3. Invite speakers who make a difference to your classes. The students are in awe of military veterans.

4. If you are outspoken, the right students will find a way to your door. When they do I always have literature I can hand to them or recommend.

5. I would not be so hard on the unions. Our union is a good one. If you have the right leadership they are often the only folks who will fight against such ideas as speech codes. They did so on my campus and killed the idea.

6. Give yourself and our ideas a seat at the table. For example, it is perfectly legitimate to assign a newspaper like the Wall Street Journal in many different classes. It is well written and can serve to supply examples of the best
journalist writing around. It can be used in political science and a variety of other courses.

7. Use your travel money to go to conservative conferences.

8. Join your state National Association of Scholars.

Sincerely,


George Zilbergeld
