****************************************** Regarding Our WMD Ad... "Chuck: Thank you! Finally we have someone who will stand up to these lying, Bush-hating liberals for all of us 'real Americans.' When the WMDs finally turn up, they will act like they never said a thing! Here's my hundred bucks. God bless America, and keep up the good work!" - Dr. Steve Brown of Harrisonburg, VA (Thanks to everyone who contributed toward the cost of running this ad on Friday. We're almost there and hope to have enough to place the ad by the deadline today. If you haven't seen the ad or made a contribution yet, please go to: www.CitizenOutreach.com) ***************************************** Thanks a Lot, Bill "(O)n the war on terror, Clinton was an utter and total failure. . . . All our terrorist problems were born during the Clinton years. . . . All three critical situations America faces today - al Qaeda, Iraq, and North Korea - were either incubated or exacerbated on Bill Clinton's watch. . . . Bill Clinton deliberately postponed dealing with this trio of threats so he could leave office under a seemingly sunny sky." - Former Clinton adviser Dick Morris in his new book, "Off With Their Heads," The Hill, 6/25/03 ***************************************** Conservatives Troubled by Drug Bill "Conservatives in the House have major concerns about the chamber's Medicare prescription drug bill, expected to come to the floor tomorrow, and some say it would be better to join with Democrats to defeat the measure rather than to pass it as written. "'I'm planning to vote no,' said Rep. Jim DeMint, South Carolina Republican. 'I'm convinced this is a prescription for socialized medicine. ... I want to change it or stop it.' "'I believe the conservatives in the House are the last line of defense,' said Rep. Mike Pence, Indiana Republican. "...Mr. DeMint said Medicare is not working, and the House bill makes it worse by adding another costly promise of prescription drugs. . . . 'One more massive federal entitlement is, simply put, one more disaster,' said Mr. Pence, who wants a drug benefit only for the poorest seniors." - Washington Times, 6/25/03 *************************************** Campaign Hot Tips New to campaigns and grassroots activism?

I think this shows the reason why." - Phil Kent, president of the Southeastern Legal Foundation, on Justice Souter's - appointed by the first President Bush - votes to uphold racial discrimination in college admissions in the University of Michigan cases, Washington Times, 6/25/03 ***************************************** 25 More Years of Racial Discrimination "(W)e expect that 25 years from now, the use of racial preferences will no longer be necessary." - Justice Sandra Day O'Connor writing the majority opinion upholding the use of racial discrimination in college admissions in the just-decided University of Michigan case ***************************************** Illegal Now, Illegal Then "I agree with the (Supreme Court's) holding that racial discrimination in higher education admissions will be illegal in 25 years. They are illegal now." - Justice Clarence Thomas in his dissent on the recently-decided University of Michigan case ***************************************** Barking Mad "What a cunning man (Supreme Court Justice) Clarence Thomas is. He knew that he could not make a powerful legal argument against racial preferences, given the fact that he got into Yale Law School and got picked for the Supreme Court thanks to his race. So he made a powerful psychological argument against what the British call 'positive discrimination,' known here as affirmative action. . . . "The dissent is a clinical study of a man who has been driven barking mad by the beneficial treatment he has received. It's poignant, really. It makes him crazy that people think he is where he is because of his race, but he is where he is because of his race. . . . Maybe he is disgusted with his own great historic ingratitude." - New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd ***************************************** Odd Ruling "(I)t is odd that the Constitution means one thing in 2003 and could mean another in 2028 - that it permits discrimination today but not, or might not, tomorrow." - Terry Eastland, publisher, The Weekly Standard ***************************************** No Sense "For the Supreme Court to kind of wink and say an aggressive affirmative action is bad, [but] subtle affirmative action is good for a certain period of time just makes no sense to me." - House Majority Leader Tom Delay (R-Texas) ************************************ 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.

Bush) can be beaten by any Democrat now in the field, nor do I see anyone standing in the wings who would do better. I think most Democrats know this. That is one thing fueling the campaign of former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, probably the most left-wing candidate to seriously compete for the Democratic nomination since George McGovern in 1972. "Rank-and-file Democrats figure that since they can't win anyway, the more electable candidates like Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry and Missouri Rep. Richard Gephardt have no advantage owing to that fact. If Democrats are going down in flames anyway, the base figures they might as well do so behind someone who speaks to their soul, rather than some pale imitation." - Columnist Bruce Bartlett ***************************************** Wow, Here's a Real Shocker "The League of Conservation Voters gave President Bush an 'F' for his performance on environmental issues in its yearly score card released yesterday." - Greg Pierce's "Inside Politics," 6/25/03 ***************************************** When In Canada, Do As the Canadians "If a (gay) 'couple' goes to Canada and gets married and doesn't like the laws in America, then they should stay in Canada, where they should have exactly the same legal rights as every other Canadian." - News & Views reader Dennis Miller of Mesa, AZ ***************************************** Yeah, Let's Keep Dumping MORE Money Into the Gov't Schools "D.C. public school officials cannot account for more than $1.6 million in employee-issued credit-card charges, which include improper purchases for hotel services, food, gifts and 'items prone to mysterious disappearance,' city auditors have found." - Washington Times, 6/25/03 ***************************************** Putting the Family Back in Education "I am a teacher involved in the public education system. I fully support the Bryants in their battle. Families should make every effort they can to educate their own children! In the government system, we claim that family involvement is vital, then appear to do everything we can to squelch it." - News & Views reader Bob James ***************************************** Of Course, It's for "The Children" California Gov. Gray Davis, a typical tax-and-spend Democrat, has run up a $38 billion budget deficit and is now pushing for tax hikes and program cuts to stop the red ink. This has Tim Robbins, one of our least-favorite Hollywood limousine liberals, whining like a baby. Poor Timmy is scared to death that the governor might "remove financing from arts organizations" and says such cuts would be "disastrous." Yeah, government handouts to "artists" are much more critical to the community than, say, education, roads, police, fire or...gosh forbid...ELECTRICITY. Of course, Robbins trotted out the ol' "Kids Card," saying "cutting of arts programs" means that "the people that are going to suffer most from it are going to be children." Yes, yes...of course. These people are as predictable as the sun rising in the east. ****************************************** Affordable Campaign Websites!
