And if the company’s hotline is to be believed, the NFL has something to be concerned about. When customers call the number, 1-800-342-5283, they are greeted by a recording which gives, as its first option, a chance for anyone for or against the player protests to voice their opinions. “If you are calling with questions or comments about Anheuser-Busch’s sponsorship of the NFL, press one,” the recorded voice says.

Jim Rimes racked up $2 million on his GOP credit card. TALLAHASSEE - While using his first term as Senate president to push an aggressive ethics reform package, Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, has hired longtime lobbyist and political consultant Jim Rimes to a top-tier post. The practice of lobbyists working inside state government, or — more prominently — state employees taking lucrative lobbying gigs is not new. It’s often referred to as the “revolving door.” The Rimes hire, though, comes as Gaetz and House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, have set up committees to examine ways to toughen state ethics laws....

House and Senate proposed budgets differ on several fronts, most importantly, the Senate includes a $1 billion per year tax hike that the House does not have. Each chamber passed their respective budgets. Then, each chamber rejected the other's budget,...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Activist Cindy Sheehan told supporters at a peace forum Saturday that troops would get out of Iraq if millions of U.S. citizens took the simple step that she did outside President Bush's vacation home last summer.

She urged them to loose their apathy and do something. "We have to get so freakin' fed up with what's going on that we all go and...

I have debated whether or not to post my story – stories like mine are sometimes misconstrued as pretentious or frivolous. BUT I’ve come to the conclusion if I don’t, then the opportunity with which I was blessed, as your run-of-the-mill, middle-aged rabid Packer fan to meet the President will have been squandered. As the result of an auto accident years ago, I have residual medical problems, making it almost impossible to hold down a full-time job. The upside, I have more time for volunteer activities, primarily focused on conservative issues and the Republican Party. My husband is a Vietnam...

Herbal alternatives are under attack. Download and print flyers. The flyers urge consumers to tell their congressmen and senators to attend the JUNE 17th Herbal Alternatives Congressional Briefing to learn the truth about herbs & health. It is critical that Congress attends this briefing because: HERBAL ALTERNATIVES ARE UNDER ATTACK. News headlines misinform and mislead decision makers. Products you depend on for your health could soon be banned. MANY CAPITOL HILL STAFFERS AND POLICY MAKERS DO NOT UNDERSTAND NATURAL HEALTH INDUSTRY ISSUES.
