I still really like the idea of hand-delivering a copy of the Contitution to EVERY member of Congress.

This will draw attention to the violence the Executive Branch of the government has already done to the Constitution. We frame it as a non-partisan issue.

The Constitution all rolled up and tied with a red ribbon constitutes a lovely gift. What will it take to do this? It’s less expensive than purchasing copies of CtG since the Constitution can simply be copied.

Re: 122

You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free is John 8:32.

Alice, you have a valid point. Our senators and representatives have a great deal to read, and some of them admit that they don’t even read the full texts of the bills and resolutions on which they vote. That’s a priority. But if enough of us keep reminding our senators and representatives that they have this book and that we want them to read it, someone will open the book up and, I think, find it significant reading.

Robertson was not aboard.

I have never attended a church where a pastor owned a learjet. Have you? Was God giving Robertson a message? We’ll have to wait and see what Pat has to say- after his divine conference.

I can’t believe that millions of peopple a day watch this grotesque bag of shit and pay attention to what he has to say.

God must love the gullible- he makes so many of them.

Lewis, R-Calif., said any review of projects he’s won for the city of Redlands and San Bernardino County, both in his district, will show “they all meet the highest standards of public benefit.”

Officials in both Redlands and the county have confirmed receiving federal subpoenas for records regarding any correspondence among Lewis, his staff and the lobbying firm %u2014 Copeland, Lowery, Jacquez, Denton, & White. The firm employs former Rep. Bill Lowery, R-Calif.
