    What I don't get: why doesn't the amendment restrict legitimate donations to those that can vote in US elections? I'm unsure about giving this much latitude to congress. I'd rather simply move to 100% publicly funded elections-with the funds allocated by citizens chosen by lottery from the voters. Those citizens would be the only legitimate source of campaign funding-and candidates would have to go through them.

    After reading this article and the notice about State Farm's continuing support for it, I just forward the link to this article to my State Farm insurance agent informing him that we will switch companies for our home and car insurance come renewal time.

    When has any science been settled? Would You rather middle class American families continue paying @ least double for basic necessities? We're using corn that starving HUMANS could be eating, into ethanol to be burnt in your engine,does that make you feel better? Criminals leading the blind(you) around with sensational claims appealing to your save the world mentality.. all the while the draconian shackles created by UNACCOUNTABLE-UNELECTED is now causing massive and real pains to the people your high and mighty religion/cause claims to protect.. Do me a favor,before you spew anymore of the same tired dis proven claims(97% and that anyone that claims agw is hoax is getting rich from oil company payouts), please spend a few hours looking at the many(although you claim few exist) scientists and physicists who offer a differing view(backed by actual science). Also note that a large majority of these folks were once AGW proponents! p.s. Could you write an actual old school reporting piece representing both sides??? Simply go and ask your editor,but you probably already know the answer to that one! Is there consensus? Have you checked? i bet you took someones word for it,isn't journalism looking for the facts?

    There were rumors at the event that many of the women wearing ALEC name badges were actually prostitutes brought in for the members. I can say from what I saw that several of the women wearing ALEC badges looked very "professional", and not in a corporate sense. When I confronted some of the men outside standing with women wearing ALEC badges about this rumor they just laughed. Even the women. What woman laughs at insinuations of being a prostitute?? And not one ALEC member denied the allegations.
