Single What? Female...

your right to your life...

This administration hits new lows every day and this weekend, they struck something close to bottom.

Terry Schiavo should not be in our papers, should not be on the nightly news, and most definitely, should not be used as a pawn by conservatives and our President.

This case, whether you feel that she should live or be allowed to die, should not have gotten to the point of CONGRESS setting up a special BILL, ONLY for her and having the President fly up from Texas to SIGN IT!. As Barney Frank and other Congressional critics of this business have said "I do not know who she is! I do not know her wishes! And neither do any of you!"

This case, a personal family matter, is being used by Conservatives as a way to eak in their ideology of how they are "for life", which can again be used against dissenters-Democrat and Republican-that they are not "for life" and would allow this woman-who apparently told her husband, brother-in-law, and best friend that she did NOT want to be left to live "like a vegetable"-to die, rather than to save her life. Thus we all know where this argument leads...

I find it truly apalling that our Administration is acting in such a particularly devious and controlling fashion, and so blantantly, but we all know, that this is not the first time, nor will it be the last.

If there is one lesson to be learned from this, make sure that you have your wishes IN WRITING for would you really want Congress doing this to YOU?

IN THE MEANTIME...further proof of our blatantly skeevie Administration:

I've joked about the Feds comin' after me, but now the FEC is actually looking into possibly restricting political blogs and sites...just wondering who'll be out to restrict first....

Paul Wolfowitz is doing for himself what Condi Rice is trying to do for the nation: make people who hate him, like him. He's called Bono, even.

The N.A.A.C.P has been fighting the IRS for some time now, claiming that this fight is less about an audit than government retaliation. And the N.A.A.C.P is not the only non-for-profit that is feeling this way...

This administration has proven that they have no qualms about retaliating against people who speak out against it, and it's getting uglier with the second term...SO KEEP E-MAILING!! It is imperative to let Congress and the White House know that you will not stand for this and are PAYING ATTENTION!! Call, write, fax, and e-mail your friends and family, the press and Congress, and as always, pass it on, pass it on, pass it on!

Peace --Alex
