	Some Free Advice to Democrats by William L. Anderson
		John Kerry has just begun his concession speech as I write the first words of this piece, so there can be no doubt that the Democrats have managed to lose an election that last spring seemed to belong to whichever candidate would spend the requisite number of nights in a Holiday Inn.
		Most Democrats today consider Franklin D. Roosevelt to be the standard of the party, just as Republicans like to call themselves the "party of Lincoln." As far as I am concerned, you can let them have Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt.
		Democrats are a hodgepodge of the very wealthy (from inherited wealth), the educated elite (such as my favorite "distorian," Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.), the very poor, minority groups, rabid environmentalists, feminists, and the American Trial Lawyers Association, which funds this whole unwieldy operation.

		Miers never served as a judge and her critics said her background as an attorney, a former head of the Texas State Bar Association and as a Dallas city council member provided few clues to her judicial philosophy.
		Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee had asked for documents she had worked on as the White House's top lawyer.
		Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, who said he had recommended that Bush nominate Miers, blamed "the radical right wing of the Republican Party" for killing her nomination.

	National Rifle Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The NRA is considered by many to be one of the most influential political lobbies in the USA because of its ability to consistently deliver large numbers of votes in elections, as well as its record of campaign contributions and activities in lobbying against gun control.
		The NRA is officially nonpartisan, and has endorsed both Democrats and Republicans; however, more Republicans tend to agree with its views than Democrats, and this is reflected in the number of endorsements.
		The NRA is not directly involved in the practical pistol competitions conducted by the International Practical Shooting Confederation and International Defensive Pistol Association, or in cowboy action shooting; both of these types of events have grown dramatically in recent years.

	Dirty Dog Democrats [Free Republic]
		What the Democrats are counting on, however, is that some donors will balk at contributing if they think Democrats will be back in power next year and know of their support for a conservative group.
		And the Democrats planned that the year 2000 would be dominated by their agenda: Medicare coverage for prescription drugs, HMO regulation, gun control, and education funding -- all winning issues, the polls said, for Democrats.
		Democrats filed 84 ethics charges against Gingrich and in the end none stuck.(The only blood drawn from Gingrich was the result of an error committed by attorneys in the course of the House investigation of complaints that had little to do with the orignal filings.) FEC and IRS complaints were targeted at Gingrich's political groups.

		Young liberals formed the Federation of Young Democrats (Fidesz); a core from the so-called Democratic Opposition formed the Association of Free Democrats (SZDSZ), and the neopopulist national opposition established the Hungarian Democratic Forum (MDF).
		The first free parliamentary election, held in May 1990, was a plebiscite of sorts on the communist past.
		The Federation of Young Democrats (renamed Fidesz-Hungarian Civic Party (MPP) in 1995) captured a plurality of parliamentary seats and forged a coalition with the Smallholders and the Democratic Forum.

		Association employees on Wednesday said they were relieved that the process was over.

	Department of State Washington File: Text: Rep. Duncan Cites Benefits of Compact of Free Association
		The treaty of free association between the United States, Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia ended more than four decades of United Nations trust territory status for the islands, and these new nations, under new flags, themselves then became members of the United Nations.
		Free association is based on separate sovereignty, nationality and citizenship, and is free because any party to the compact can terminate it in favor of full independence at any time.
		Indeed, the whole point of free association is that it continues as long as it serves the mutual interest of the parties.

		The trials are to be conducted in secret, under the auspices of the WTO or the United Nations, by a panel of three judges whose identities don't have to be revealed.
		The key factor in the Democrats' awakening to their own power, though, is the change in the White House.

		Delegates and union leaders from at least seven states say they will honor picket lines if Boston police make good on their intention to picket outside Democratic National Convention delegation parties, the July 25 events that have been a centerpiece of Mayor Thomas M. Menino's convention plans.
		The comments from union leaders and delegates, who decide individually whether they will attend parties, are an early sign that the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association could have an impact on convention activities.
		Several delegates said they were emboldened by Senator John F. Kerry, the presumptive nominee, who canceled a speech before the US Conference of Mayors in Boston Monday, saying he would not cross a police-led picket line at the event.

	Democrats focused on political payback
		If an association runs the program effectively, members' premiums can exceed losses and the association receives a refund of the money it collected.
		Some of the refund goes back to employers but the association may keep a percentage as an administrative fee based on its agreement with its members.
		HB 1070 tried to cap at 10 percent the administrative fee that retro associations can keep, but this proposal was quickly abandoned after being widely criticized.

		He too expresses the sentiment that when one pulls off a sophisticated military objective and defeats the enemy without utterly destroying their forces, one should still be ready for things to go badly, and not be caught with your dress saber when your adversary has a sharpened sword, in his words.

	Free-Speech Zone? Democratic Convention Plan Puts Protesters Blocks Away
		Protesters at this summer's Democratic National Convention in Boston may be confined to a cozy triangle of land off Haymarket Square, blocked off from the FleetCenter and convention delegates by a maze of Central Artery service roads, MBTA train tracks, and a temporary parking lot holding scores of buses and media trucks.
		Relegated to a parking lot blocks from the convention arena, protesters sued, and less than a month before that convention began, a federal judge ruled that the designated area was unconstitutional.
		In addition, several city unions -- most notably the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association -- are threatening to picket outside the convention if their contracts with the city aren't settled by July.

		The Drexel Democrats believe that should this request not be met, the organization has the right to organize and protest against said event beginning at 9 AM on Tuesday, February 22nd, directly in front of Behrakis Grand Hall.
		The Drexel Democrats have requested information on the university’s regulations on this matter, and will abide to and respect all regulations that the university may have regarding the right to organize and protest.
		Our only regret is that our friends, the Drexel Democrats, won’t be able to see the fruits of their labor until we’re all 65 years old—where Social Security will completely bankrupt the country if we listened to them and did nothing.

		In the backlash imagination, America is always in the state of quasi-civil war: on one side are the unpretentious millions of authentic Americans; on the other stand the bookish, all-powerful liberals who run the country but are contemptuous of the tastes and beliefs of the people who inhabit it.
		The Democratic Party as it is today does not represent the interests of blue-collar workers, or else they surely would have gotten their votes.
		That was the time when the Democratic Party actually stood for blue-collar workers, which was when they promoted laws favoring labor unions and things like the minimum wage and social security.

		The authors portrayed this voluntary association as purposeful resegregation and complained that the education of American youth was being scuttled.
		First, voluntary association, whether in choice of schools or in choice of residential area, is voluntary association, not "resegregation." Second, diversity of skin color does not enhance the educational experience.
		Even in schools with diverse student bodies, studies show that students of the same race tend to associate with one another and form separate cliques; sociological benefits may exist, but they are minute at best.

		Its constitutional meeting took place on 4th February 1990 in East Berlin, after a demand had been issued on 25th November 1989 for the establishment of a Free Democratic party.
		The reason for the demand was the prolonged and inconsequential renewal of the LDPD and the uncertainty in which direction the former block party was developing.
		On 12th February 1990, the F.D.P. of the GDR joined the "Bund Freier Demokraten" (Association of Free Democrats).
