Hello All, I know it is the Christmas season and we're all tired after our exchange fight but we must press on! THIS IS THE BEST SHOT TO PASS A RIGHT TO WORK LAW IN MICHIGAN. IF OUR LEGISLATORS LOSE THEIR NERVE (or allow the powerful union lobby to get to them), it might slip away. Our legislators know how important this is to Michigan's lagging economy. They've had the facts presented to them over and over. We don't need to explain why this is good for the citizens of Michigan anymore. Now is the time for them to ACT....

We're newspaper people, so you won't be surprised to learn that we hold the First Amendment dear. We value the freedom of expression. So when word exploded on the national scene that Gov. Sarah Palin was a "book banner," well, by golly, we paid attention. Can't have smalltown mayors or anyone else going around banning Harry Potter. Turns out Palin never banned any books. ... The Harry Potter books Palin was supposed to have banned hadn't even been published yet when she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska. But it turns out there is a candidate in the presidential field who...

Please contact Congress today and urge your legislators to keep funding for Planned Parenthood out of this program.Several Republican members with...

Fellow Conservatives: This is the last week Congress is expected to be in session, and eminent domain reform has yet to be brought to a vote.  It's time for a final, full-court press to get federal eminent domain reform passed before the 109th Congress adjourns.    As you know, H.R. 4128 passed the House over a year ago by an extraordinarily bipartisan vote of 376-38.  There is no reason this bill should be stonewalled in the Senate, but there has been no vote until now.  The Senate needs to understand that federal protections against eminent domain abuse are important to the...

The proposed regulation of the grass-roots, under such soothing titles as "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act," would result in that most un-American of all concepts: censorship of political speech.

Two years ago the Washington Post ran a series that exposed of The Nature Conservancy's fast and loose manipulation of the U.S tax Code. These articles along with grassroots contacts from folks like you resulted in the Senate Finance Committee conducting an investigation of the Nature Conservancy's practices. It appears The Nature Conservancy has hired high priced Washington lobbyists who are conducting private negotiations with the Senate Finance Committee. In exchange for some modest changes of the tax law, the investigation will end. Then things will largely remain business as unusual for The Nature Conservancy to continue its battle against...

Dear Friends,The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will decide this week whether to allow Plan B, a morning-after pill, to be available over-the-counter to anyone who is over 16 years old and to those younger than 16 with a prescription. After the FDA denied its first application for over-the-counter status last May, Barr Labs, the owner of Plan B, filed a new application with this marketing scheme, purportedly to address concerns that the drug has not been adequately tested for the health effects on adolescents.Proponents loudly claim that easy access will reduce pregnancy rates and abortions. Not so, according to...

New Jersey--Daytime Curfew Bill Scheduled for Vote Monday Dear HSLDA members and friends: A daytime curfew bill that has already passed the Senate may have an impact on homeschoolers. The Assembly will probably vote on S155 on Monday, and it is very unlikely it will be defeated. Therefore HSLDA is prepared to help homeschoolers at the local level if problems arise from this legislation. As it is written, it authorizes municipalities to adopt curfew ordinances forbidding public and private school students--but not homeschool students--from being in public places during the hours their school is in session. If the bill...
