"It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives." --John Adams
Representative Charles Rangle (D) to stand trial on ethics violations. WASHINGTON – House investigators accused veteran New York Rep. Charles Rangel of 13 violations of congressional ethics standards on Thursday, throwing a cloud over his four-decade political career and raising worries for fellow Democrats about the fall elections. -- Larry Margasack and Laurie Kellman
Makes a great case for term limits doesn't it? At least if we caught crooks, they would be citizen crooks. But oh wait, Rangle is innocent until proven guilty.
The file, labeled "Grimm Jewish Money Q2," for the second quarter fundraising period, shows a list of over 80 names, a half-dozen of which in fact do hail from Staten Island, and a handful of others that list Brooklyn as home.
Constituting America
Constituting America’s
mission is to reach, educate and inform America's youth and her citizens about the importance of the U.S. Constitution and the foundation it sets forth regarding our freedoms and rights.
Mission Statement
The American Constitution, signed on September 17, 1787, is as great a miracle as the ultimate victory from the British in 1782. Providence prevailed in both theatres. It was a monumental feat to beat the British in the Revolutionary War. Equally as awesome was the accomplishment of finding common ground amongst the varied American beliefs in writing the Constitution. Though our forefathers differed, they united in their mission, their vision: A republic; freedom; America, the beautiful; America, the hope.er for American liberty to survive, her people must be educated. To quote John Adams, “Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge of the people.”
It may be to late to 'save' most of our adults. Our children however have been indoctrinated in our Government Schools, to by-pass real History in favor of The Progressives version of History. If your not a parent that can/ can't influence your children in the truth of America. Constituting America would be a great place to insert some realism into sessions of Wii, Spongebob Sparepants, VH1, and any of the other mind bleeding blather that is on the Tube/Monitor these days. We have a chance to move the tipping point, back to The Constitutional direction.
Hold on America, I told you it was going to be 'A bumpy ride'.
PLU!
"The fact that a U.S. Congressman would separate out any group by religion or even by ethnicity is nothing short of outrageous," he said. "This goes beyond politics." --dfreedlander@observer.com
