USA WEEKEND's Third Annual America's Poll Our exclusive July Fourth poll finds Americans ready to trade some cherished freedoms for greater safety for themselves -- and their children. Just two MONTHS after the Columbine High School massacre in Colorado, horrific gun crimes by the young have reached such runaway proportions it's become hard to keep track. Would Americans accept new restrictions on guns and Hollywood -- and surrender some freedoms -- to prevent another Columbine? That's what a USA WEEKEND poll has found. Key findings 52% say the right to bear arms should be modified or eliminated. 89% believe ...

WASHINGTON - The 13 House members who served as prosecutors in the impeachment trial of President Clinton have established their own Web site and political action committee to raise money for themselves and other Republicans targeted by Clinton supporters. An initial goal of the "House Managers PAC" is to develop a base of at least 500,000 people who will provide contributions and volunteer support for Republican candidates across the United States. "It's an on-line, grass-roots organization designed to harvest thousands and thousands of e-mail addresses to help conservatives be organized on line," says Mark Emerson, chief of staff for Rep. ...

....If we do nothing, our children and grandchildren can expect to pay 84% of their income in taxes. It's called "Tax-Creep", that will continue to grow unless we stop it now! This "beast that must be fed" is the Internal Revenue Code. It's like a drug to the politicans that the Gucci Gulch crowd sells them, and almost every one of them are hooked. .....Ah, the Infernal, Eternal, Incomprehensible, "Internal Revenue Code"--It has grown from a "FLAT INCOME TAX" of 14 pages in 1914, that only the rich had to deal with, to over 2,000 pages of law, 6,000 pages ...

For Immediate Release -- Wednesday, July 7, 1999 BUCHANAN CALLS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION 'UNDECLARED WAR ON SOUTHERN BORDER' Today, at a Des Moines, Iowa press conference, Republican Presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan called massive illegal immigration an "undeclared war on our southern border" and vowed to "stop foreign criminals who are crossing and re-crossing with ease to prey upon American citizens." Mr. Buchanan cited the 1993 CIA shooting, World Trade Center bombing, and murderous rampage of Rafael Resendez-Ramirez-all crimes perpetrated by illegal aliens-as examples of the exploding crime rate among illegal immigrants. "In 1980, our prisons housed 9,000 criminal aliens. Today, ...

A coalition of big money data vendors is pushing database protection bills through the US Congress that could fundamentally disrupt the basic functions of the Internet and radically alter how information can be shared. There are two competing bills that would protect data compilers by prohibiting the duplication of their databases. Critics fear the more restrictive of the two, Collections of Information Antipiracy Act (HR354), would make criminals of companies that collect and aggregate data -- companies like Yahoo and Amazon.com. "The beauty of the Internet is that for the first time you have this huge engine for finding and ...

It was ten degrees cooler today and I came prepared. Thank you, yaya123, your fans were perfect. I took the whole box with me - optimist that I am - and vigorously fanned myself at the shady spot near the Swamp. I just love the sparkling flag stamps and Gene McDonald's zero cents Clinton behind bars stamps. A democrat formerly from New York took a Treason is the Reason fan and I gave his two kids plain fans with only the stamps. I was surprised that he did this, but he stood talking with me for about ten minutes. I ...

Holbrooke Nomination Hits More Snags By TOM RAUM .c The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) - Richard Holbrooke's troubled nomination to be U.N. ambassador is drawing new opposition, with at least four Republican senators now signaling their intentions to hold up a floor vote. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott of Mississippi, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and George Voinovich of Ohio have joined Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa in putting so-called ``holds'' on the nomination, various sources said Wednesday. The nomination has been delayed more than a year. One Republican Senate source suggested as many as six senators may be working to ...

Salve regina mater misericordiae Vita dulcedo et spes nostra Salve salve regina Peron Ad te clamamus exules filii Eva Ad te suspiramus gementes et flentes O clemens o pia "I am only a simple woman who lives to serve Peron in his noble crusade to rescuehis people!

2036 GMT, 990707 Yugoslavia/NATO – According to Agence France-Presse, 5,000 Kosovar Albanians proudly crossed a re-opened bridge in Kosovoska Mitrovica as 200 Serbs taunted them. The Serbs became increasingly violent as the Albanians entered the Serb neighborhood, and police were forced to blockade the bridge two hours after it was re-opened. The bridge had previously divided the town in two, and was a symbol of ethnic separatism in the area. Claude Vicaire, head of the French police patrolling the area, said "The bridge is open, but people’s minds are closed." Also, troops in Prizren and Orahovac, in the German peacekeeping ...

Republicans Jab Gore In Convention Web Promo PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Republican officials lost no time in delivering a verbal jab to Vice President Al Gore Wednesday, while promoting the high-tech features of their 2000 national convention in Philadelphia. For the first time, Republican National Committee (RNC) convention planners named a technology subcommittee, which will oversee the development of a World Wide Web page expected to draw up to 30 million hits a day from Internet users during the July 29 to Aug. 4, 2000 convention to nominate the party's presidential and vice presidential candidates. The Web site, which will appear ...

Hillary: In good conscience, how can you run for the New York Senate while your long time husband and political cohort stands an accused serial sex offender? Don’t' you have your own serious moral and legal predicaments to attend to before offering your elite self up as the sacrificial "public servant"? I have heard psychologists speak of the dangers of denial, but this senate race defies logic and reeks of some serious flaws in your ability to reason and say no. I put the reality of your husband's dangerous sexual disorder in the simplest legal terms because I have grown ...

U.S. Says Milosevic's 'Days Are Numbered' WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States Wednesday said Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's days were numbered and said it could sympathize with the impatience of Serbians demanding his resignation. The State Department likened the latest protests against Milosevic to mass movements that overthrew Philippine leader Ferdinand Marcos, guaranteed civil rights to U.S. blacks and ended British rule in India. ``Milosevic's days are numbered. It's impossible to predict how many numbers there are in those days,'' department spokesman James Foley said during his daily briefing. ``Serbia historically has been a part of the West. Its separation ...

I've stumbled across a Clinton Poll of the Week that asks who should be the Republican nominee for President located here.

President Clinton could have been cruising through the streets of Phoenix today in an armored car courtesy of "America's toughest sheriff." But the Secret Service declined. "They were grateful for the offer," said Jack McIntyre, a spokesman with Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio's office. But because of time constraints, agents wouldn't have been able to "do their own inspection and examination" of the car. For obvious reasons, little is known about what security precautions are being taken here once the president lands at Sky Harbor International Airport at 4 p.m. Some plans are simply secret; others had not yet been ...

EU rethinks the size of Europe With the NATO-led operation in Kosovo, Western nations make integrating Eastern states a priority. Peter Ford (fordp@csps.com) Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor PARIS As French Health Minister Bernard Kouchner takes up his new job as United Nations administrator of Kosovo this week, even more is riding on his appointment than the way in which he restores the shattered Serbian province to life. His posting, boosted by the European Union, is a major piece in the jigsaw puzzle that is taking shape as Europeans debate a key question about their future: How ...

As states start to mandate Eddie Eagle's message in schools, critics fault the program as promotional. NEW YORK Eleven years ago, the National Rifle Association drew up a cartoon character called Eddie Eagle to try to teach children about guns. Eddie's message: If you find a gun, tell an adult; don't touch it. Last month, the New York Legislature became the first in the country to officially endorse Eddie's message. And the Oregon legislature passed a law soon after that, making the message a part of school curricula. Now, in the wake of the shootings at Columbine High School ...

On their website (http://www.texasgop.org/library/practice/76leg.html) The Republican Party of Texas (RPT) has a list of "76th Legislature Accomplishments." Republican leadership works for Texas "Led by Governor George W. Bush and Lt. Governor Rick Perry, Republicans in the House and Senate overcame numerous Democrat roadblocks to give Texans real reform, real relief, and real results. The 76th Legislative session was the best in history for Texas teachers, businesses, taxpayers, and children." The website then lists those measures sponsored by The Republican Party that were signed into law. However, Republicans hold a mere one-seat majority in the Texas Senate, and the Democrats have ...
