****************************** Help Save the Tax Cut The left knows that tax cuts will stop them from feeding at the public trough. So they're pulling out all the stops to kill President Bush's modest tax cut proposal. The only way the president's program will pass is for the people of America to rise up in a massive grassroots movement and speak out. Put the pressure on by going to the following web site to send faxes to every one of the 50 Democrat U.S. Senators. The cost is only $15 to send 50 faxes and it will take less than 2 minutes of your time. Then send this message to as many people on your e-mail list as possible. We can't let the left win on this crucial issue. http://www.backbush.com/taxcut/faxgram.asp?ref=rn13 ****************************** Armey Ups Ante "House Majority Leader Dick Armey said yesterday he will press for tax cuts in excess of the administration's $1.6 trillion plan, despite President Bush's insistence to go no higher." - Washington Times, 3/7/01 ****************************** It's Not About Hunting; It's About Self-Defense "(B)efore we go running off to our congressmen demanding more and more gun laws, let's remember that over the past twenty-two (22) years, there have been a total of 86 children killed by guns in our schools. That figure includes the two that died yesterday (in San Diego). That's 3.9 children per year ... or about 16 fewer children than were killed by government mandated airbags last year. After recently having some family members visit Israel, I feel compelled to ask how many students would have been killed or injured had California's Santana High School shooter Andy Williams committed this same outrageous attack in an Israeli high school, where almost every teacher is armed?" - GOPN&V reader Joseph G. Lolli, 3/6/01 ****************************** Another Skeleton Pops Out of Pardon Closet "John Francis McCormick is a former Boston policeman, not a fugitive billionaire. He was convicted in a police-corruption scandal for accepting hundreds of dollars worth of gratuities, not stiffing the government on millions of dollars in taxes. He answered for his crime by serving more than a year in jail, not by fleeing prosecution. He started a new life and applied for clemency through the normal Justice Department process. He got his pardon from former President Clinton, (his lawyer Thomas) Dwyer says, 'by the numbers.' But is that the whole story? Mr. McCormick's advocate, Mr. Dwyer, has helped raise millions of dollars in campaign donations to benefit Bill and Hillary Clinton since 1992, including a 1999 dinner he co-hosted that reaped $450,000 for Mrs. Clinton's New York Senate campaign." - Wall Street Journal, 3/7/01 ****************************** King of the Whoppers Strikes Again "In other pardon news, the Jerusalem Post reports that Israel's Prime Minister Ehud Barak insists he asked Clinton only once to pardon Marc Rich, not three or more times as the former president's aides have claimed." - OpinionJournal.com, 3/5/01 ****************************** Hillary's Hissy Fit "By a 56-44 margin, the Senate votes to kill the Clinton administration's 11th-hour ergonomic workplace regulations. In a shrill floor speech, the ex-president's wife and junior senator from New York accuses her colleagues of dropping 'a legislative atom bomb against the ergonomic standard.'" - OpinionJournal.com, 3/7/01 ****************************** Vampire In the Midst "Disillusioned Democrat Patrick Caddell says it was his party that was trying to steal the election. 'I know about stealing elections,' he told a lunch in Beverly Hills. 'I was involved in it for a long time. It appeared to me that George Bush won and that we clearly were trying to steal the election.' Caddell, who backed Ralph Nader in 2000, also says the selection of Clinton crony Terry McAuliffe as chairman of the Democratic National Committee is 'like having Dracula at the blood bank.'" - OpinionJournal.com, 3/5/01 ****************************** Ex-Clintonite Tells D's to Take a Hard Left "Unless Democrats distinguish themselves more from moderate Republicans, the party is a goner, said Robert Reich, secretary of labor under former President Clinton. 'If they simply try to mimic the Republicans, then they shall fail and, more important, we shall fail,' he said at Duke University Friday. 'The Democratic Party, in many respects, is dead.' The new Democratic Party that Reich envisions should embrace the new economy but also support people trying to escape poverty, he said. Such support includes more money for health care, child care and job training." - Robert Reich, Herold-Sun, 3/2/01 ****************************** Gore Some More in 2004? "When President Bush delivered his first address to Congress on Tuesday night, the man who thought he should be in his place, Al Gore, did not watch. Instead, Mr. Gore was in Manhattan, tending to political business of his own. Mr. Gore assembled more than two dozen of the biggest donors from his campaign for a thank-you dinner at the home of Steven Rattner, a financier who is a major party donor. But many of Mr. Gore's closest associates, including some who were at the dinner, said the event was not simply to reminisce. Rather, it was the most direct sign thus far that barely three months after he lost the White House, Mr. Gore is actively positioning himself for another try should he decide to run. The purpose of the event and others that are planned in coming weeks, Mr. Gore's associates said, was to court these important fund-raisers, and put them on notice - without saying so explicitly - that they should not defect to other prospective contenders." - New York Times, 3/5/01 ***************************** Clinton/Gore Feud Heats Up "The tension between Al Gore, Bill Clinton and their followers 'has only escalated' in recent days, the New York Times reports. 'Mr. Clinton, for one, was described by friends as still furious at Mr. Gore's pollster, Stanley B. Greenberg (who was Mr. Clinton's first pollster in the White House) for recently suggesting publicly that Mr. Clinton was detrimental to Mr. Gore's prospects,' reporter Richard L. Berke writes. ' 'He heaps withering scorn on Stan,' one friend said of a recent conversation with Mr. Clinton. 'It's like a blowtorch. I was surprised at how hard-edged he was. He feels that Gore didn't prosecute his legacy.' 'Mr. Clinton also unleashed his venom at William M. Daley, his former commerce secretary. After Mr. Daley told the New York Times recently that Mr. Clinton's conduct was 'terrible, devastating' and 'rather appalling,' the former president wrote a several-page letter to Mr. Daley expressing his deep disappointment, people who know both men said.'" - Greg Pierce's "Inside Politics," 3/6/01 ************************** Help Spread the Word GOP News & Views has a subscriber base of Republican activists, political leaders and elected officials of over 16,000+ ... and growing each day.
