Just Can't Spend YOUR Money Fast Enough
Dear Senator Merkley:
Please cast your vote against the "DREAM" Act in its present incarnation. The bill is poorly written, vaguely worded, rife with "loopholes" and is virtually impossible to enforce at nearly every level. Worse yet is the undue burden it piles upon American citizens and taxpayers, with the promise of more to come.
Ill-conceived, poorly written, dishonestly vague, spuriously benign, unenforceable, irredeemable, astoundingly racist in tenor, and unwanted by the majority of Oregonians and other Americans: what's not to love?
Please vote against it.

Dear Neonleon,
Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns about the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act (S. 729). While we may disagree about this legislation, I appreciate knowing your views and value the opportunity to share my perspective.
I believe every student deserves the opportunity to attend college and achieve his or her full potential, and that children should not be held responsible for their parents' actions. The DREAM Act would allow undocumented students who have been in the United States for at least five years the opportunity to earn legal status. I believe it is in our nation's best interest to ensure that all children receive the opportunities of higher education so that they can join the workforce and fully contribute to the economy and society.
Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts with me. I hope you will continue to keep me informed about the issues that matter most to you.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey A. Merkley
United States Senator

Oklahoma vs. Shariah
If you wonder why the good voters of Oklahoma wish to exclude Shariah Law from their courtrooms,
watch this rather graphic video of Islamic "justice" in action, and then the justification for such brutality by the president of Sudan:
The link takes you to the source, MEMRI
Notice that, in accordance with Shariah, the switches being used are NOT bigger around than the officers' thumbs, so it's all good.
And remember, at least TWO of our nations's Senators have openly expressed their support of Shariah law becoming a part, if not the whole, of the American justice system.

"Dear Abby"
Dear Abby:
My husband has a long record of money problems. He runs up huge credit-card bills and at the end of the month, if I try to pay them off, he shouts at me, saying I am stealing his money. He says pay the minimum and let our kids worry about the rest, but already we can hardly keep up with the interest.
Also he has been so arrogant and abusive toward our neighbors that most of them no longer speak to us. The few that do are an odd bunch, to whom he has been giving a lot of expensive gifts, running up our bills even more.
Also, he has gotten religious. One week he hangs out with Catholics and the next with people who say the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and the next he's with Muslims.
Finally, the last straw.
He's demanding that before anyone can be in the same room with him, they must sign a loyalty oath. It's just so horribly creepy! Can you help?
Signed, "Lost in DC"
Dear Lost:
Stop whining, Michelle.
You can divorce the jerk any time you want. The rest of us are stuck with him for two more years!
