They specifically wrote that this abuse of power wasn't suppose to happen under the checks and balances between the branches. George Bush has now proved himself to be a king.

One way or another the will of the people will be heeded. How long until we hold another Tea Party in Boston? Traitors.

It amazes me that he can maintain a 26% approval rating. I suppose most of these in the 26% are Hispanics and undocumented Americans.

Bond and Brownback. From the wearied responses I received from the staffers to my sincerely polite remarks I can only assume that their offices are being flooded with calls and faxes to vote against this travesty. I'm still at a loss as to why our <em>ELECTED</em> officials are blind to <em>OUR</em> will. I suggest we all take notes on the votes and next election vote out of office those individuals that brazenly vote against the will of their constituency. I have placed my calls to Sens.

He has done so much to ruin the republican party. I give him some credit for a few good things like judges and taxes. The sooner he's gone, the better. It sounds like Bush has dispatched his minons to hand out favors to buy votes. Harry Reid also makes me sick. That guy is a real slime! He is very dishonest. I call him the non-personality senator. He has to force himself to smile. He acts like rock. I watched senator Sessions on the senate floor late yesterday. He really did a good job detailing all the issues with this immigration bill. Anything that senator Kennedy is pushing is automatically bad in my opinion. His nephew Patrick is also dangerous A few points:

It seems to me that Washington, DC, is a fine example of The Peter Principle in action. We need to dissolve our government and start from scratch with citizen statesmen. And, no, I'm not advocating overthrowing the government, just replacing its members with true patriots. Does anyone remember “The Peter Principle”?

Only Whitehouse responded, and there is so much mumbo jumbo in the letter that I have no clue what he said. I hope against hope that this cloture dies. 1. Secure all borders and put into place mechanisms to stop the flow. 2. Clear the backlog - there are so many waiting legally in the lines with lead times of up to 15 years!
