Bruce Catton’s The Army of The Potomac Volume Two “Glory Road” Chapter Three “Revival”, (Men who are Greatly in Earnest) Doubleday and Company Inc. Copyright 1952 Page 123, para 1 So when the Democratic majority in the Indiana Legislature (1863) prepared to wittle down Indiana’s part in the war, Morton (governor) had his cue. The immediate issue was the bill which would take control of all military matters... out of the hands of the governor and vest it in a board of hand-picked Democrates. ... He could of course veto the bill, but the Indiana constitution contained an oddity, a...

NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 9, No. 50 12/13/02 NINTH CIRCUIT CLAIMS THERE IS NO RIGHT TO ARMS Last week, on December 5, the San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a ruling in a challenge to California’s ban on so-called "assault weapons" that has created quite a stir in the debate over our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. The court dismissed the challenge in the case of Silviera v. Lockyer, but the most disturbing aspect of the ruling was that the court held that"the Second Amendment does not confer an individual right to own or possess arms."...

LOUISIANA SPECIAL ELECTIONWhile the winners of almost every race across the nation were decided on November 5, 2002, or soon thereafter, some are still up in the air. In fact, because of Louisiana’s election laws, any race in which a candidate does not receive a majority (50%+1) of the vote must be decided by a run-off between the top two vote recipients. Because no candidate received a majority in the race for U.S. Senate, every eligible voter in Louisiana will have an opportunity to cast his vote on December 7 in this important race. However, please keep in mind that...

A few months ago, this forum was burning with condemnation of the up-coming vote on Campaign Finance Reform (CFR). During that time I posted to this form several NRA sponsered "FAX Alerts" which opposed this legislation and those who would vote for it.We were all encouraged to call our Representatives and voice our opposition to this law.So now I open my November issue of American Rifleman (The NRA's main publication for it's members) and turn to the much awaited "Voter Guide". There I find that in the 9th Indiana District the NRA has awarded an "A" rating to both candidates,...

I just returned from the Local Emergency Room with my 14 year old daughter. She was savagely attacked in her sleep by the family cat! She sustained several deep puncture and slash wounds. When we got to her she was covered in blood, as was her bed.The beast has had it's rabbies shots, it has been "fixed", it is never allowed outside, all the proper things. This is all apparently the result of a cat fight that was occuring outside the house, somewhere in the nieghborhood. Our cat frenzied in response to that fight.What I would like is too hear...
