Laura Bush takes a cheap shot

Letter to the Editor

Laura Bush accused Michael J. Fox of "manipulating feelings" by using his Parkinson's Disease to promote stem cell research. She is implying that people like Fox are faking it for political purposes. Just like Christopher Reed was faking being a quadraphonics when he was promoting stem cell research. My sister has been a diabetic for 40 years and I'm beginning to wonder if she might have been faking it for political purposes too.

The stem cell issue is a fake issue put out there to sucker gullible evangelicals into feeling good about themselves and give them another fake cause to keep them occupied. But the price of their moral masturbation is that it denies valuable medical research for the rest of us. My sister might not get a cure for Diabetes in her lifetime because Laura Bush is using step cells in a cheap political ploy. I want to encourage people to vote for stem cells, for Michale J. Fox, Christopher Reed, and for my sister who really is not faking Diabetes.

Reublican Contract with America 12 years later

Letter to the Editor

It was just 12 years ago that the Republicans took control of Congress with their Contract with America. In this contract the Republicans pledged to do the following:

"Require all laws that apply to the rest of the country also apply equally to the Congress; select a major, independent auditing firm to conduct a comprehensive audit of Congress for waste, fraud or abuse; cut the number of House committees, and cut committee staff by one-third; limit the terms of all committee chairs; ban the casting of proxy votes in committee; require committee meetings to be open to the public; require a three-fifths majority vote to pass a tax increase; guarantee an honest accounting of our Federal Budget by implementing zero base-line budgeting."

It goes on to say, "This year's election offers the chance, after four decades of one-party control, to bring to the House a new majority that will transform the way Congress works. That historic change would be the end of government that is too big, too intrusive, and too easy with the public's money. It can be the beginning of a Congress that respects the values and shares the faith of the American family."

"Like Lincoln, our first Republican president, we intend to act "with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right." To restore accountability to Congress. To end its cycle of scandal and disgrace. To make us all proud again of the way free people govern themselves."

So - if you think that the Republicans upheld the contract then reelect them. if not then it's time to throw the bums out and drain the swamp.
