If you have not heard his speech on March 18, 2008, you should listen to it here. It is this speech that has convinced me to support Barack Obama as the next President of the United States!

Rep. Van Hollen:It is time for the representatives we elected to congress to perform their constitutional oversight functions and deal with the revelations of an executive branch that is out of control. As an attorney, you should know that the willful destruction of evidence is a violation of the law and those responsible should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.This means that

Now is the time for all good representatives to stand up to the president who would rather kill Americans in a far off war than keep them healthy and working at home.Now is the time for all good representatives to convince their colleagues that vetoing a bill that funds basic American needs is anti-American and should be overridden for the sake of the American people.Now is the time for all House

Dear President Bush:I rarely write to you and your staff to express my disappointment with decisions made. I have stayed away from many issues that are really important to this nation, but this is one I cannot let go without a comment. I am very disappointed that H.R.976 was vetoed on October 3.Although the citizens of the United States are supposed to have access to the best health care in the

The following was sent to Countdown at countdown@msnbc.com following the report of NBC News’s canceling the Don Imus morning show:First and foremost, I do not condone Don Imus’s words. But I defend his right to speak how he wants, no matter how I detest what he says. I defend his right under the First Amendment of our constitution.

In 1968, the social revolution of the Viet-Cong and North Vietnamese tried began an offensive on the Lunar New Year against the South Vietnamese and their American supporters. Tet was a failure for the Viet-Cong and North Vietnam, but it was also a public relations nightmare for the United States when images of the carnage were reported on the news.For the United States, the failure of Tet showed

Dear Mrs. Ford and family:In 1976, President Ford visited Charlotte, North Carolina to celebrate the nation's bicentennial. As a 16 year old admirer of the president, I attended the gathering with friends and classmates. While I do not remember what he said on that sunny day in Freedom Park, I remember being impressed with the President's speech and thinking that he seemed like a nice person. I

This is a full video of Saddam Hussein's execution. Apparently, one of the witnesses had a camera phone and put it to use. The video, although not the best quality, is very graphic. You will see Saddam's last seconds... beyond what you have been shown on television. If you think you will be disturbed by seeing the full execution, please do not watch!

The Democrats did not loose a single seat. All of the losses were seats held by Republicans.Even if the pending Virginia recount returns George Allen to the senate, the loss of five seats giving the Republicans a one seat majority is just as telling.Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation is a start, but it is not the answer. There must be a course change. A change that will limit the

Of all the mistakes a Democrat could make, John Kerry's is now ranked amongst the most idiotic of this political season. After years of picking on how George Bush for his lack of intelligence and verbal fumbles, Kerry makes one that allows the meaning to be misinterpreted. Making matters worse, Kerry does not even acknowledge that he put his foot in his mouth until later in the day.George Bush

Dear Mr. Steele:At another time, I would be able to support your candidacy. You have demonstrated that your intelligence and grasp for issues suggests you would be a good senator. However, after seeing your performance on Meet the Press today, I cannot support you as Maryland’s next senator for the following reasons:Although I am personally against abortion, I am pro-choice. I want those who

Following his alleged commentary accusing Michael J. Fox of acting or off his drugs in his television commercials in support of several Democratic candidates, he responds showing how ideologically he is in the wrong spectrum of basic humanity. This is not a liberal or conservative issue. It is human values, which Rush demonstrates his lacking.HYPOCRITICAL STATEMENT #1: In his statement, Limbaugh

The constitution supposes, what the History of all Governments demonstrates, that the Executive is the branch of power most interested in war, & most prone to it.James Madison said this long before George Bush was born. Long before there was an Islamic terrorist movement. Long before anyone thought of the ramifications of a president whose pied-piper attitude has lead congress and this country

It is being reported by the BBC that the UN’s chief anti-toture expert that Iraq is out of control and that torture is worse after Saddam since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein. “What most people tell you is that the situation as far as torture is concerned now in Iraq is totally out of hand,” said Manfred Nowak, an Austrian Law professor. “The situation is so bad many people say it is worse than

The American Heritage Dictionary defines hero as “A person noted for special achievement in a particular field.” Unfortunately, a special achievement in this political environment means standing up and doing the right thing when political winds are against you. Three members of the United States Senate and a well respected retired Army general deserve the moniker of hero: John McCain (R-AZ),

In my continuing effort to exercise the rights that are granted to me by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and my sincere wish for the safety of our gallant men and women unfortunately stationed in the middle of the Iraqi Civil War, I remind you of the following quote:It’s an interesting lesson here, by the way.

This morning, I woke up, performed my morning ritual, and drove to work. This was the same routine I went through five years ago. As I did five years ago, I listened to the local all news radio station. Just like five years ago, I had overslept and was concerned about the region’s horrendous traffic ahead of me as I tried to arrive to a meeting on time. Traffic reports on the eights, followed by
