		<description><![CDATA[With all of the misinformation in the press about the new Arizona immigration law, I have included a link to the new law and some selective quotes and commentary about that law. http://www.courthousenews.com/2010/04/16/AzSB1070.pdf As with most new legislation, the intent of the Arizona statute is spelled out in the initial paragraph: “The legislature finds that [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Importance of Candidate&#8217;s Forums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The importance of a candidate’s forum should never be underestimated.  Last week, I attended a forum featuring candidates for various local and federal offices.  The format was prearranged, with 2-3 specific questions provided in advance to each candidate in their respected races.

		<title>Why Should Congress be Exempt from the Laws They Pass?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I never forward chain e-mails to my friends and family, I received one recently that reminded me of a fact most people in the United States are not aware of—our elected representatives in Congress are themselves exempt from most of the laws that they pass!  A recent example of this: Obamacare. If &#8220;Obamacare&#8221; and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Roman Senate?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When did our form of government begin to look like that of ancient Rome? Despite our founding father&#8217;s desire to create a more responsive form of government for our fledgling nation, their experiment continues to run full speed toward an elitist professional political class who has nothing in common with the citizens they represent.

		<title>Mr. Congressman, Can I Ask a Question?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you read a commentary in a newspaper that in its simplicity “hits the nail on the head,” you just have to pass it along. In his letter to The Washington Times, Dr. Milton R. Wolf talks about his meeting with Representative Dennis Moore. In his letter, Dr. Wolf poses some very significant questions he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Government intrusion in education not necessary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Saturday, The New York Times reported that the Obama administration is calling “for a broad overhaul of President George W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind law, proposing to reshape divisive provisions that encouraged instructors to teach to tests, narrowed the curriculum, and labeled one in three American schools as failing.” Praising Mr. Obama’s efforts, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Only in Washington can you go both ways and never suffer the consequences!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Despite polls that show a continued lack of support with the voters, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said on Fox News Sunday that the healthcare bill will pass by next weekend.
