�Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead�
-Lucille Ball
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
--Theodore Roosevelt, 1918

Worship without self-sacrifice."

DON'T LET THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP
WEAKEN THE ATF!
There are reports that the Republican leadership is trying to put language in the omnibus appropriations bill that would undermine the ATF's ability to enforce the nation's gun laws. The language is from the so-called Tiahrt amendment that NRA allies have been pushing.
Please call the Republican leadership and tell them that you do not want the Tiahrt amendment in the omnibus appropriations bill.
It is particularly important to call the Republicans with responsibility for the Commerce, Justice and State appropriations bill:
Rep. Frank Wolf (VA) 202-225-5136
Senator Judd Gregg (NH) 202-224-3324
It is also important to call the Chairmen of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees:
Rep. Bill Young (FL) 202-225-5961
Senator Ted Stevens (AK) 202-224-3004
And also the Republican leadership of the House and Senate:
Speaker Dennis Hastert (IL) 202-225-2976
Majority Leader Bill Frist (TN) 202-224-3344

Quote A Day:
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. --Mother Teresa
Fact of the Day:
Abundance, not scarcity, best describes the world's food supply. Enough wheat, rice and other grains are produced to provide every human being with 3,500 calories a day. That doesn't even count many other commonly eaten foods-vegetables, beans, nuts, root crops, fruits, grass-fed meats, and fish. Enough food is available to provide at least 4.3 pounds of food per person a day worldwide. Yet 800 million people don't have enough to eat; hunger kills 12 million chidren every year. The problem is that many people are too poor to buy readily available food.
