Put Murderous Cartels Out of Business: Legalize Drugs
“Partner With Southern Neighbors Against Drug Lords,” the recent commentary by Antonio O.

Cap-And-Trade Plan Simply Hot Air
President Bush’s strategy of ending U.S. growth in carbon dioxide emissions by 2025 aims to achieve truly global action without wrecking America’s economy. But the Senate is planning to take up a bill that would impose limits on carbon dioxide emissions from the use of fossil fuels, at the expense of the American public. (Thursday, April 24, 2008)
