	Term Limits: The Only Way to Clean Up Congress (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Congressional term limits are a necessary corrective to inequalities which inevitably hinder challengers and aid incumbents.

		Term limits would arrest the decline of congressional legitimacy, ensuring that Members would be more truly representative of their communities, and would renew American citizenship by writing into law the principle that people can govern themselves -- and that this representation falls within the competence of any reasonably interested and well-educated citizen.

	Did the U.S. Help Saddam Acquire Biological Weapons
		Instead, U.S. envoys are now telling allies that the administration's position is so different from the views of the leading supporters of the enforcement protocol that a meeting would dissolve into public squabbling and should be avoided, administration officials said.
		At worst, they concluded, the approach could damage U.S. interests because it would not be structured to deliver "meaningful monitoring." "If a challenge inspection system is not geared to pursue violators aggressively, then it does not serve U.S. security interests," the 65-page report states.
		According to one former U.S. ambassador, the new administration was less than eager to see an open-and-shut case against Saddam, for fear that it would demand aggressive retaliation.

		One of the major complaints from Cubin’s opponents in the last elections were how she was not in the State of Wyoming more often (or rather when she was she was not out being seen at events).
		Every politician in the US does the same thing, they visit their state as often as possible and they listen to their constituents, THAT is how the game is played by those who continue to win elections.
		Then the difference between you and hundreds of thousands of other Wyoming citizens is that when a “controversial” issue pertaining to Wyoming comes up the majority want their Representative/Senator available to answer questions and to listen to what they have to say.

	The Electoral College (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Each State was allocated a number of Electors equal to the number of its U.S. Senators (always 2) plus the number of its U.S. Representative (which may change each decade according to the size of each State's population as determined in the decennial census).
		Because the Congressional procedures for resolving disputed sets of Electors had expired, the Congress established a special 15 member commission to decide the issue in each of the three States.
		Even if they won enough electoral votes to force the decision into the U.S. House of Representatives, they would still have to have a majority of over half the State delegations in order to elect their candidate - and in that case, they would hardly be considered a minor party.
