If the you and Demorcrats think that the tax cuts they passed should now be rolled back, you should do the following: 1. You should use a 1040 form and guide for the next 3 years that does not include the tax-cut rates approved last year. 2.

If the Demorcrats think that the tax cuts they passed should now be rolled back, they should be willing to accept the following if they are true to their cause: 1.

If you are NOT a Democrat and do not want to roll back the tax-cut, you should use a 1040 form that includes the approved tax cuts. A new check off box for a $1 ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fulfilling a central campaign promise, President Bush signed into law Thursday a $1.35 trillion tax cut bill that will immediately benefit every American who pays income taxes but will require years to take full effect. The 10-year tax cut was tempered by Democratic and Republican moderates from the $1.6 trillion plan Bush first began pushing in 1999 but still contains its essential elements, lending a celebratory air to a White House East Room ceremony not quite large enough to contain the crowd. Bush, joined by first lady Laura Bush, members of his Cabinet and a bipartisan ...

Electors WASHINGTON (AP)--A federal judge denied a request Thursday to stop Vice President Al Gore from recognizing Florida's slate of presidential electors when Congress makes its formal count of electoral votes this weekend. U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth said the people making the request had no jurisdiction in the motion brought against Gore, who serves as the Senate president.

Most US growth comes in GOP Country Census 2000 finds that America is home to 281.4 million - a jump of 13.2 percent since 1990. By John Dillin Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor WASHINGTON Democrats, already frustrated by their failure to retake Congress in the 2000 elections, will have a fresh challenge going into the 2002 campaign.

Gaining seats in the new ...

Tom Daschel grins wryly when questioned by Tim Russert about the possibility of a Democrat objection to Florida's Electoral College votes. Could Congress reject electoral votes from Florida on the ground that they were "tainted"? Members of Congress can object to any Electoral vote from any state. An objection would need to be made in writing and signed by at least one senator and one member of the House. The Senate and the House would then meet separately to debate and vote on whether to accept or reject those electoral votes. The last time any objections were raised was in ...

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Two counties complied with Republican wishes Friday and counted overseas absentee ballots that had earlier been rejected, adding to George W. Bush's lead over Al Gore by 32 votes in uncertified totals. The absentee counts in Duval and Clay counties came as a trial judge said he's not likely to force a dozen other counties to reconsider overseas military ballots rejected for lack of a postmark or a similar flaw. Like those other 12 counties, Duval and Clay counties were initially named in a GOP lawsuit Wednesday that attempted to force the absentee counts. Both counties ...

This is a repost for those who need this information so they can sleep well tonight. Good facts on the absentee ballots in Florida for Bush! More than 7,000 overseas ballots have yet to be returned to Florida, more than enough to turn the corner for George W. Bush or Al Gore -- although no one knows how many will actually be sent back or where in the world they will come from. To be counted, they must arrive by 5 p.m. Friday. According to state law, overseas ballots that arrive after election night are stored unopened in vaults in ...

More than 7,000 overseas ballots have yet to be returned to Florida, more than enough to turn the corner for George W.

According to state law, overseas ballots that arrive after election night are stored unopened in vaults in Florida's 67 counties. They will remain there, uncounted, until the Friday deadline passes. Each county decides when to count its votes. In Miami-Dade County, 1,699 ballots ...

Hell's grannies What a cute title Jonathan Fox penned for his article. ("Granny get your gun," June 29). And if blatant death threats against elected officials and homosexuals and the assassination of physicians who practice in certain areas are now amusing, then Fox should win an award for his sharp wit. Fox correctly links Freerepublic.com to the "Second Amendment Sisters." However, he fails to inform his readers of serious concerns that have been raised about Freerepublic and the "Second Amendment Sisters." Persons associated with Freerepublic have used its message boards to issue death threats against numerous elected officials. There have ...

DC Comics introduces gay superheroes I suppose it had to happen eventually. The first gay superheroes in a comic strip are now a reality. DC Comics, according to the London Sunday Times, is creating Apollo and Midnighter – “a loving couple who cohabit in a giant spaceship.” In the comic strip, the characters are seen kissing and are “billed in a mocked-up copy of a British celebrity magazine as the world’s finest couple.” The fact that the two characters are homosexuals was revealed in a strip last month called “The Authority”. The writer of the plotline was quoted by the ...

Q: Actually, on that, one of the things that the Republicans have brought up in the campaign -- more, actually, in Congress -- and that Bush has criticized about the Clinton administration implicitly is the enforcement of gun cases. It's something that's been trotted out every time there has been a gun control debate in Congress. They say that, or they assert, that the Justice Department isn't doing a vigorous enough job prosecuting gun cases. What is your evaluation of that? Your job? ATTY. GEN. RENO: What we have tried to do is focus on the major violent organizations, those ...

"And what about the fact they belong to a religion that teaches of Xenu, evil head of the Galactic Confederation?

At the end of the 76-year-old commentator's final Election Night show, Brinkley said voters could expect more "goddamned nonsense" for the next four years. Then he called President Clinton a "bore." After covering presidential elections since the 1956 Eisenhower-Stevenson race, the 1996 election was Brinkley's last as a broadcaster. He's also stepping down this Sunday as host of "This Week With David Brinkley." It was after 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, winding up a long night, when ABC correspondents gathered around anchor Peter Jennings and Brinkley to talk about the election. "We all look forward with great pleasure to four years of ...

A horse named IMPEACHMENT came in third place at the Kentucky Derby today. George W and his father were on hand to see it. You got to love it. The announcers were doing all they could to minimize saying the horse's name.They spent most of their time profiling a female trainer who's horse didn't even come close.
