SUPREME COURT CASE PREVIEWS DAMAGE OF LOST!

Tell Your Senator to vote NO on the Law of the Sea Treaty!!

Just this week, the United States Supreme Court gave us an important look into what kind of global power grabs we face if the Senate ratifies the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST). On October 10, the Supreme Court heard arguments in the case of Jose Medellin, an illegal alien rapist-murderer now on death row in Texas. Medellin, a citizen of Mexico who lived illegally in the United States, was convicted and sentenced to death after he confessed in 1993 to the brutal rape and murder of two teenage girls in Houston.

Long after Medellin had received the full due process of the American legal system, in 2003 the Mexican government sued the United States in the International Court of Justice (known as the "World Court"), an agency of the United Nations which sits at The Hague in The Netherlands.

In 2004 the World Court ruled in favor of Mexico and ordered the United States to give Medellin another hearing, or perhaps another trial, at which he could receive the assistance of Mexican consular employees.

TED KENNEDY TRIES TO SLIP HATE CRIMES PAST THE PUBLIC

Urge your Senators to Vote NO on the Hate Crimes Amendment!

After his immigration bill received three+ weeks of fiery opposition from the grassroots, Ted Kennedy has decided to try to slip this next piece of ultra-controversial legislation past the American people’s radar screen. Last week, the Senate bypassed the normal committee process as Ted Kennedy filed the Hate Crimes bill as an amendment to H.R. 1585, the 2008 Defense Authorization bill. Back on May 3rd, President Bush released a statement saying that if such hate crimes legislation were to reach his desk, his senior advisors would recommend that he veto it. Kennedy, no doubt, understands that neither the House nor the Senate could override a veto; thus, he is attempting to insert this language into the DOD Authorization because it will be harder for President Bush to veto the entire bill.
