********************************** Social Security for Illegals "Should illegal immigrants receive Social Security benefits? Yes, according to many politicians, bureaucrats, and special interest groups in Washington. They aren't just saying yes, however, they are working quietly to get their way with this so-called 'totalization' program. We must apply pressure now. Urge your U.S. representative to cosponsor H.R. 489 - The Social Security for American Citizens Only Act. Send a message today." Go to: http://capwiz.com/liberty/issues/bills/?bill=1518616 - Kent Snyder, The Liberty Committee, 2/26/03 ********************************** An Unusually Bold Liar "Let's look more closely at (Utah Republican Rep.) Chris Cannon. Of all of the two-faced oddballs that are constantly pumping for more, more and still more freebies for illegal immigrants, he must be on the top of the list. "Even by the abysmally low standards set by politicians, Cannon has astonishing cheek. He can look you in the eye and lie to you. And Cannon's lies are even bolder since he knows that you know that he is lying." - Columnist Joe Guzzardi, VDARE.com, 2/24/03 *********************************** Go Forth and e-Multiply If you know someone who might like to receive News & Views, you can sign 'em up at: http://www.chuckmuth.com.

"Now, I'm not one to get alarmed at snakes. I know they perform some valuable functions, like eating rats. . . . (But a) Copperhead will kill you. It could kill one of my dogs. It could kill one of my grandchildren. It could kill any one of my four great grandchildren. They play all the time where I found those killers. "And you know, when I discovered these Copperheads, I didn't call my wife Shirley for advice, like I do on most things. I didn't go before the city council. I didn't yell for help from my neighbors. I just took a hoe and knocked them in the head and killed them. Dead as a doorknob. "I guess you could call it a unilateral action. Or preemptive. Perhaps if you had been watching me you could have even called it bellicose and reactive. I took their poisonous heads off because they were a threat to me. And they were a threat to my home and my family. They were a threat to all I hold dear. And isn't that what this is all about?" - Sen. Zell Miller, Georgia Democrat, from the Senate floor on October 3, 2002 *********************************** Time to Pull the Trigger "To fight a major war, an American president must persuade the American people that war is not only just, but necessary to protect American interests, in this case to fight terrorism. Having persuaded us of this unpleasant fact, aided by our shared memory of watching two skyscrapers explode on national TV, an American president cannot then fail to act indefinitely. Once the case has been made persuasively, every day of delay is a denial and a contradiction: If war is necessary, what are we waiting for?" - Columnist Maggie Gallagher ************************************ Long Savings on Long Distance Just 4.97 cents/minute (5.97 cents for some non-regional bell companies) * All state-to-state calls in the continental U.S. * Residential or commercial * 6-second billing increments after the first 18 seconds * 24 hours/day * 7 days/week * No access codes * No minimums * No activation fees * No monthly service charge unless your bill is less than $20.00 a month (then a $2.50 service charge will apply) * No need to change your local phone company * No hassles * Easy sign-up. *And a small portion of each bill goes to help continue publishing our FREE Chuck Muth's News & Views e-newsletter. go to <http://www.GOPLongDistance.com> today. *********************************** Queen of Hypocrisy... "See if you can guess who said this: 'Saddam has driven everybody to the edge here. . . . [The president] has more approval to go ahead with military force now than at any time since the Gulf War. . . . The goals of the administration are really pretty clear, and that's to raise the price for Saddam if he wants to keep making these weapons. . . . We don't want him to have anthrax. . . . Do you seriously think if there is an air campaign that people are going to go into the streets and countries are going to condemn America for taking that action? The world wants to be rid of Saddam Hussein. ' "The answer: Eleanor Clift, on 'The McLaughlin Group.' The date was Nov. 13, 1998. Now that a Republican is president, of course, Clift is one of Saddam's shrillest defenders. - James Taranto, Best of the Web, 2/25/03 ********************************** ...And Her King "What if (Saddam Hussein) fails to comply and we fail to act, or we take some ambiguous third route, which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction? . . . Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal." - Bill Clinton, 1998...long before he began criticizing now-President Bush who is taking the exact same position and making the exact same case ********************************** ...And Their Cousin "I have stated over and over on this floor that I would...object and fight against any filibuster on a judge, whether it is somebody I opposed or supported. . . . If we don't like somebody the president nominates, vote him or her up or down. But don't hold him in unconscionable limbo, because in doing that, the minority of senators really shame all senators." - Sen. Patrick Leahy, Vermont Democrat, back in 1998...long before he began supporting the filibuster to block President Bush's judicial nominee Miguel Estrada *********************************** Let's Play Hardball "It's time Republicans learned to play hardball. Democrats don't really want to filibuster Miguel Estrada's nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. They aren't anxious to stay up all night and give marathon speeches on the dangers Mr. Estrada purportedly poses to the Republic. Tom Daschle needs his beauty rest, after all. "But the Republicans haven't been willing to call the Democrats' bluff. . . . Instead of holding the Democrats' feet to the fire to force them to keep talking, the GOP leadership allowed senators to go home for the Presidents' Day recess without voting on Mr. Estrada. Now, Republicans are letting the Democrats drag out the debate day after day, without forcing obstinate senators to stay on the floor round the clock and on weekends. "...I've seen it time and again in my 30 years in Washington. Republicans play by gentlemen's rules. Democrats play to win. Republican sportsmanlike conduct has cost them dearly over the years. . . . It is probably too late now to force the Democrats' hand. Republicans moreover may believe that if Democrats succeed in blocking Mr. Estrada's confirmation, Hispanic voters will punish Democrats at the polls. Don't bet on it. More likely, Hispanics will see that for all their good intentions, Republicans can't deliver when it counts." - Columnist Linda Chavez ********************************** Upcoming Grassroots Training Seminars Anything worth doing is worth learning how to do right... * March 15-16 - Montgomery, AL * March 15-16 - Munster, IN * March 22-23 - Houston, TX * March 22-23 - Olympia, WA * March 29 - Communications Workshop, San Diego, CA * March 29-30 - Knoxville, TN * March 29-30 - Baton Rouge, LA * April 12-13 - Jackson, MS Yours truly will be one of the instructors at the Munster and Houston seminars.

I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover whether legislation is 'needed' before I have first determined whether it is constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for neglecting my constituents' interests, I shall reply that I was informed their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very best I can." - Barry Goldwater, "The Conscience of a Conservative" To help promote the "Goldwater Doctrine" in public policy and government, join the Goldwater Project by going to: http://chuckmuth.com/goldwater.htm ********************************* ********************************* Published by Citizen Outreach Chuck Muth Editor/Publisher 611 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, #439 Washington, DC 20003-4303 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Citizen Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public policy organization and does not endorse candidates or lobby for specific legislation.
