Sign the Petition: No Taxation without Representation
Everyone knows that homosexuals are denied equal civil rights and benefits. We are unable to participate openly in military service and reap the salaries and benefits accorded to openly heterosexual citizens. And we are denied the partnership protections and social services benefits available to heterosexual citizens who can participate in state recognized marriages.
What most people don't think about, however, is the fact that homosexual citizens are still forced to pay taxes equal to those paid by heterosexual citizens who have access to the full range of civil rights and benefits that are funded by those taxes! In other words, we are paying first class taxes for second class rights and subsidizing the larger heterosexual population, many of whom work actively to oppress us! It's time to seek redress for this situation! Please visit http://www.petitiononline.com/LGTaxes/petition.html and sign the petition to the U.S. Congress to pass legislation to reduce taxes for self-identified homosexuals. And visit http://www.secondclassaction.com to learn more. Please forward the above to anyone you know who believes in fairness in taxation. Don't pay first class taxes for second class rights!
Thank you! Bush's Duplicity Challenges Even the Complacent As news of Bush's duplicity in the ENRON scandal deepens, his logic and reason defy even the most laconic in America. Of course America has some pretty apathetic people.
1. Place all documentation of his Governorship of Texas in a "secure" status in his father's Presidential Library. 2. Renew the High Security status of all documents relating to his father's involvement in the Iran-Contra Affair so they may not be viewed until the year 2022. 3. Remove all security clearances from the documentation and correspondence of Clinton's Presidency and release everything to the public. 4. Threaten the Government Accounting Office (GAO) with a sharp budget cut if they continue to pursue the Vice President's documentation regarding the energy planning of his Administration. Even the most rudimentary intelligence should see the pattern in all this. If it's Republican you can assume it was good and never have to worry about seeing it because we always work for the good. If it's Democrat then is has to be bad and of course you should see how bad it is. In the far away future when they paint Bill Clinton's portrait to hang in the White House after he has shuffled off this mortal coil, they should paint his smiling face with horns on his head and engrave a brass plate to identify him as "William "Scapegoat" Clinton, 1992-2001. Clinton was the last President to preside in leadership over our nation that while it had plenty of issues and problems, was secure in the feeling that we didn't have to worry about receiving an envelope full of death, or an airliner weathervane on our economic and governmental monuments. Under Clinton we had unparalleled prosperity and learned that our leaders were human after all, having no natural immunity from the mundane mortal thoughts of the flesh. With Bill, what you saw was what you got. Most would call that refreshing...everyone except the Republican leadership who hounded him from the day he took office until well over a year after he left it. Not even the stigma of scandal that Warren G. Harding was subjected to for real corruption within the White House, nor Richard Nixon, who's involvement in the Watergate Affair stigmatized any good that might have been attributed to his administration, can match the malice or the petty finger-pointing at made up stories that Bill Clinton must suffer for simply being one of the best Presidents of the last half of the 20th Century.
Clinton was called, "The Teflon President" because nothing stuck to him for long. But years of wear and use have exposed the shiny stainless steel foundation of this frying pan of hope and the metal is beginning to rust It's time to start chipping away at the Texas Barbecue cook wear and see what's underneath.
