Today, during the one minute presentations in the US House of Representatives, the Foreign Electronics Surveillance (FISA) underwent one hour of general debate with no changes allowed.
Many Democrats -and a few Republicans- stood up for very important issues concerning the falsity of the invasion of Iraq (Democrat), the end result of the high spending carelessly conducted by the Bush administration that left the US with $5 trillion in debt and $53 trillion in liabilities (Rep. Frank Wolf from Virginia, 10th District, Republican), the Gallatin Plan concerning the quality of United States' infrastructure (Rep. Earl Blumenauer, Oregon, 3rd District, Democrat), strong opposition against the majorities [Democrats] proposed federal budget (Rep. Virginia Foxx, North Carolina, 5th District, Republican), secrecies and political power fueling the corrupt nature of the U.S. House (Rep. Lloyd Doggett, Texas, 25th District, Democrat), $5 million in taxpayer money being given to contractors requiring them to report fraud (Rep. Peter Welch, Democrat from Vermont), the safety and security of American citizens in relation to our nation's borders and strengthening immigration laws (Rep. Thelma Drake, Virginia, 2nd District, Republican), and the White House and Congressional Republicans continuing to play games with our National Security rather than working to modernize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (the House Speaker addressed him as a man from New Jersey and nothing else).
Apparently, today was filled with honest, caring representatives from around the country. Well, of course, these were only one minute speeches addressed by representatives who were elected into office through the citizens in their district. You would think they'd say something like that only to portray themselves as individuals really wanting to represent the American people's major concerns. However, my assumptions could be false in that they could actually be honest politicians desiring to make a difference in America. For better or worse? Who knows. We must let their actions speak for them, because only time can tell if the politician we elected into office is really the politician we want representing us on Washington Hill.
In other news, Brave New Films sent out a mass e-mail requesting its subscribers to sign a petition against Fox News for broadcasting blasphemous, lying, unethical, and misconstruing information to the American public. Their slanderous lies and propaganda-filled television network needs to be boycotted. And I happen to agree with their perspective on Fox News, and the necessary steps needed to take place before this dream can truly become a reality. I, myself, am sick and tired of Fox News spewing out useless junk out every night. If anyone is interested in signing this petition, please visit this web site:

That's all for the moment. More will be written later either tomorrow or the next day.
