I am not wrong, Al; I am Right. Liberals today dont care about America. They would gladly hand it over to the terrorist if they had the chance. Jefferson was a different kind of liberal. I agree with him that this government can not be run by any religion. On the other hand, the US was founded in the Christian belief (which is important), therefore Christian mottos, etc. are incorporated into the fabric of this society (same as Rome). You liberals should not be allowed to erase what this country is all about because of your silly-assed diversity. The Ten Commandments is a vital part of OUR history and should never be taken away from sight. If an atheist doesnt like seeing it, then go somewhere else. When you come to this country to live you are supposed to BECOME one of us, not fight against us. This country is not RUN by any religion at all. You are free to practice your religion here whatever it is, but leave the FABRIC and history of this country alone. When in Rome.

VICTORY IN THE HOUSE!!
I have some great news! This week, leadership in the House of Representatives was forced to strip language from their version of the budget bill that would have opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and our coasts to drilling. This victory wouldn't have been possible without support from people like you! Thanks to pressure from constituents and the environmental community, a group of Republicans and Democrats held firm -- dealing a major blow to Big Oil, the Bush Administration, and leadership in the House. This victory shows that protecting our natural resources is not a partisan issue -- and that a majority of Americans support a sound energy policy. Even after removing the Arctic and coastal drilling provisions from the bill, House leadership had to pull their version of the budget off the floor because they didn't have the votes to pass it. However, they are likely try to bring it back for a vote in the near future. Although Arctic Refuge and coastal drilling are no longer in the House bill, other anti-environmental provisions remain -- such as a controversial mining land give-away. And last week, the Senate narrowly approved drilling language in their version of the budget bill. We will continue call on our elected officials to keep Arctic Refuge drilling out of a final bill. As we continue to monitor the budget process, we will let you know how you can help. But for now, let's take a moment and celebrate this victory for the Arctic and our coasts!
Thank you for all your support.

Did you ever wonder how much it costs a drug company for the active ingredient in prescription medications? Some people think it must cost a lot, since many drugs sell for more than $2.00 per tablet. We did a search of offshore chemical synthesizers that supply the active ingredients found in drugs approved by the FDA.

It pays to shop around. This helps to solve the mystery as to why they can afford to put a Walgreen's on every corner. On Monday night, Steve Wilson, an investigative reporter for Channel 7 News in Detroit, did a story on generic drug price gouging by pharmacies. He found
in his investigation, that some of these generic drugs were marked up as much as 3,000% or more. Yes, that's not a typo.....three thousand percent! So often, we blame the drug companies for the high cost of drugs, and usually rightfully so.
At the end of the report, one of the anchors asked Mr. Wilson whether or not there were any pharmacies that did not adhere to this practice, and he said that Costco consistently charged little over their cost for the generic drugs.
I went to the Costco site, where you can look up any drug, and get its online price. It says that the in-store prices are consistent with the online prices. I was appalled. Just to give you one example from my own experience, I had to use the drug, Compazine, which helps prevent nausea in chemo patients.
$72.57. I could have got 150 at Costco for $28.08.
I would like to mention, that although Costco is a "membership" type store, you do NOT have to be a member to buy prescriptions there, as it is a federally regulated substance. You just tell them at the door that you wish to use the pharmacy, and they will let you in. (this is
true) I went to Costco this past Thursday and asked them.
