   Re/
   Amnesty Bill
   1)I have called each and every US Senate office and faxed each of them also.
   2)I contacted the RNC and dropped my 43 year registration as a Republican.
   3)I secured and delivered 2000 petitions from Grassfire to both of my Senators.
   I encourage anyone who feels strongly about this matter to do the same.

    I haven’t commented on the redesign yet. My biggest complaint is the fact I have to link on every single post to read it instead of just scrolling down as I go. Any way to get everything on one page? Or at least a certain number of posts?

    Michelle,
    congratulations on all (books, site, etc) It is more important now than ever for ideas that are practical, not necessarily the most popular, to be expressed. This country is facing a crucial presidential election (maybe as important as ‘32 or ‘80), and people need to be influenced by facts, not by applause lines. Keep it up!

    One complaint with the new site. The page starts at the extreme left side of the screen. The old side had the text nicely centered.

    BTW – both here and at Hot Air, you really need to have any embedded links open in a NEW WINDOW. It’s easy (target=”blank” in the html), fun, and shows consideration for the reader who may get annoyed at having to hit the BACK button to return to the starting point. Plus, if you don’t go BACK right away because of an interruption, you may forget where you came from and start over. I don’t why most sites don’t do it that way – is it the extra click income? If so, pretty cheesy. Just sayin’…

    I could not be more dissapointed with the new layout. It looks nice, sure, but the readability went down the toilet. I’ve been a faithful reader for years, and now I REALLY miss the ability to scroll down one page to read every story without having to click in and out of each individual story. Makes the site close to unreadable for me now, shame.

    So you know. Shout-outs to Lizards and other supporters of reason, loving Christians, and loud, fearless ex-Muslims. More shoutouts to Townhall columnists, most of them, and pre-shoutouts and a round of beer to whoever slaps Townhall’s web-designer into leaving the Dark Side of Web Design.

    Ms. Malkin,

    I am a relatively new blogger, but rather than type a long post, I am including some links for you to some articles I have written. I now busy you are, but I hope the quality merits your brief perusal.

    Our other border problem. Can we please get the President to order a border fence along red states to protect them from blue state migration? I understand they move to red states for a better life and a dream, but they need to be deported back to the blue nightmares they inflicted upon themselves.

    Violence in Gaza–Oh, and water is wet
    Violence in Gaza? In the world of mathematical logical proofs, that is referred to as a “given.”

    Ideological Bigotry
    What else would one call hatred of conservatives for merely existing? It is ideological bigotry.

    The many reasons why I like President Bush–A lot.
    I do not always agree with him, but he has done a lot of good things. This is a reminder.

    Ms. Malkin, I genuinely hope this is worth your time. Stay well always.

    Respectfully,

    Michelle, please improve your new site format by …

    1) increasing your microscopic font size by at least 100%;

    2) doubling the width of your blog column;

    3) allowing the text of your blog entries to be viewable on your main page (rather than forcing viewers to follow links to every specific entry);

    4) increasing the number of blog entries viewable on your main page from roughly 10 to something like 30.

    Thank you for considering these improvements,
    Clark
