************************************* Run Hillary, Run "If a (Democrat presidential candidate) favorite other than (Al) Sharpton doesn't become obvious by late fall, look for a strong effort to draft Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. . . . The Iowa Democratic Party is already thinking that. We hear it wants Clinton as the featured speaker at an annual fall event - an invite that's irked Sen. John Kerry." - Columnist Paul Bedard, "Washington Whispers," U.S. News & World Report *********************************** 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.

Rather than grass-roots, member-supported organizations, Estrada's opponents are liberal interest groups who fill their coffers with huge grants from the Ford Foundation, AT&T, and a handful of other fat-cat organizations. "...They do not represent any portion of the (Hispanic) population. They are activists who take huge checks from liberal foundations and gigantic corporations. . . . In essence...Estrada's opponents are a handful of liberal lawyers who rely on a few left-wing deep pockets and have bamboozled big companies out of millions." - Columnists Christopher Morris & Timothy Carney in National Review Online ************************************* Peaceniks Destroy 9/11 Memorial "Antiwar protesters burned and ripped up flags, flowers and patriotic signs at a Sept. 11 memorial that residents erected on a fence along Whittier Boulevard (LaHabra, Calif.) days after the terrorist attacks in 2001 and have maintained ever since. However, although officers witnessed the vandalism Saturday afternoon, police did not arrest three people seen damaging the display because they were 'exercising the same freedom of speech that the people who put up the flags were,' La Habra Police Capt. John Rees said Monday. 'For this to be vandalism, there had to be an ill-will intent,' he said." - Whittier Daily News, 3/11/03 ************************************** Let Freedom Ring "U.S. Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, chairman of the Committee on House Administration, has ordered that all references to 'French Fries' be replaced with the words 'Freedom Fries' wherever they appear on the menu in the restaurants operated in the Cannon, Longworth and Rayburn House office buildings. . . . Ney also ordered that the phrase 'Freedom Toast' be used in place of the traditional 'French Toast,' in a letter to the U.S. House's chief administrative officer, who oversees the operations of the food service facilities." - Peter Roff, UPI's Capital Comment, 3/11/03 ************************************* Open Mouth, Shoot Foot "A Democratic congressman who opposes the liberation of Iraq is blaming the Jews for threatening Saddam Hussein's hold on power. 'If it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq we would not be doing this,' the Connection newspapers of northern Virginia quoted Rep. Jim Moran as saying last week. "...Moran offered this Trent Lott-style 'apology': 'I should not have singled out the Jewish community and regret giving any impression that its members are somehow responsible for the course of action being pursued by the Administration, or are somehow behind an impending war.' In other words, he regrets giving the impression that he meant precisely what he said." - James Taranto, Best of the Web, 3/11/03 ************************************ NEW! 4.75 cents-per-minute Long Distance * All state-to-state calls in the continental U.S. * Residential or commercial * 6-second billing increments * 24 hours/day * 7 days/week * No access codes * No minimums * No activation fees * Calling Card Rate is 10 cents per minute * No monthly service charge unless your bill is less than $20.00 a month (then a $1.99 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.

In the U.N.'s 58-year history, two wars have been waged under Security Council auspices: Korea and the Gulf War. Both ended with less than total victories, leaving in power two of the worst tyrannies on earth, which are now two of the world's most dangerous rogue states. U.N. peacekeeping operations, too, are at best a mixed bag, with a record of failing to prevent such horrors as the Srebrenica massacre and the Rwanda genocide." - James Taranto, Best of the Web, 3/10/03 ************************************* Just Win, Baby "There's probably not much that President Bush can say or do to convince the world's population - and most Democrats - that he's not a reckless and arrogant foreign policy cowboy. He's just going to have to win the Iraq war in short order and with minimal casualties, hope that Iraqis dance in the streets, and then start swiftly building democracy in the Middle East. . . . In the end...what counts is whether the United States wins a clean victory in Iraq and uncovers a vast cache of illegal weapons, and if it can set up a stable government." - Columnist Morton Kondracke ************************************ Chirac's Little Girlie Game "George W. Bush and Tony Blair appear to be on to all the nuances of French conniving. Hence the new resolution, which they know will fail, but will expose the ultimate goal of the axis of weasels, which is not to force Saddam to disarm, but to enable him to reveal the United States as an atrophied giant, George W. as Gulliver tied down by the pygmies. Nice work if he could get it, but George W., it is coming clear, has been on to M. Chirac's little girlie game from the beginning." - Wesley Pruden, Pruden On Politics, 3/11/03 ************************************* Ugly Protests Against Naked Aggression "Many of my fellow warmongers have mocked the nude protests mounted by the women of California's Marin County, cruelly pointing out that many of the bits on show are excessively saggy. But I'll take what I can get. If we have to have an incoherent, anti-Western 'peace' movement, then women showing off their hooters in support of a culture that would stone them to death for showing off their ankles is about as good as it's gonna get." - Columnist Mark Steyn ************************************ Give Freedom a Chance * Free Republic Network and Young Americans for Freedom are calling for nationwide rallies on March 22nd and 23rd to support our troops and the war against terrorism. Rally events will be organized at www.freeper.org and at www.freerepublic.com.

It explicitly guarantees freedom of religion." - Columnist Paul Greenberg **************************************** ACLU's Noogie Patrol "The American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada filed a federal lawsuit Thursday against the Clark County School District claiming that the School Board's refusal to ban prayers at graduation ceremonies violates the First and 14th Amendments. 'A graduation is a ceremony controlled by the school district, and a prayer offered in that context is unconstitutional,' ACLU attorney Allen Lichtenstein said. "...Clark County administrators review graduation speeches ahead of time, but that doesn't mean that a student won't slip in a prayer anyway, (school district attorney William) Hoffman said. 'What are we supposed to do if a student says a prayer up there, pull the plug?' Hoffman asked. 'Should we wrestle the student to the ground and give him a noogie?'" - Las Vegas Sun, 3/7/03 *********************************** The Goldwater Doctrine "I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. 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.
