MEDFORD, Ore. - Hearts With A Mission and Youth for Christ are working together to build a new community building in Medford.
The City Life Community Center will be going up on Edwards St. where workers tore down two old buildings Monday.
The two non-profits will use the new building as a resource center to give kids a safe place.
The organizations are asking for the public's help. "Well we'd love for somebody to write a big check but there's something about being hands-on and being able to be a part of something I think that kind of ties you to it and we want to encourage everybody that if this is something you'd like to do and you'd like to be a part of helping it go up, then lend a hand," Hearts With A Mission Executive Director Kevin Lamson said.
Organizers hope to have the City Life Community Center completed by September.
For more information on how you can lend a hand please call Ron Harvey at 541-210-5001.
If you would like to donate financially towards the project please visit either one of these websites: Hearts With a Mission or Youth for Christ.

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 713 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JJPI A hotel with with a great location Great location to get to Cambridge, West-end, North-end August 2, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by dick57 Room Selection As a platiummember,I was upgraded to a hadicapped room. DO NOT PLACE IN A HADICAPPED ROOM AGAIN. Put something in my profile. November 23, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lewey Unsatisfied We picked the Liberty because we primarily wanted an upper end hotel in the Beacon Hill area to stay for our anniversary. The hotel was recommended to us by some friends. We found the Liberty to be a very nice hotel and we were impressed by how clean the rooms were kept. There were a few things though that we found unsatisfying. We upgraded and paid for a city view. What we got was an obstructed view of the city that could only be seen above the roof of the hotel's other multi floor wing. When we made the reservation we assumed we'd be looking out the window and seeing a full city view. This wasn't the case. I think it was a little misleading. The fan in the bathroom didn't seem to work and most importantly we were awakened at 5:30 in the morning by the fire alarm. We went down to the lobby only to find out that we could go back upstairs. We were told by the staff that something in the kitchen had set the alarm off. So much for sleeping in on Saturday morning. I emailed the hotel's GM and to date haven't received a response. I realize things can happen but this is all stuff one would expect to find at a lower end chain hotel. We were expecting a little more. October 7, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by FredLA Great convenient hotel I stay at the Liberty whenever I'm in Boston and have never been disappointed. The staff is very engaging and accommodating. August 27, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ed01 Below Par My room was not the cleaniest in particular there was a urine stain on the toilet. Also, I never recieved my wake up call. August 13, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by KB228 Beautiful Property in Convenient Location This hotel is worth staying at simply for the architecture and ambience. It is conveniently located right by the red line and is walking distance to the Esplanade. In the past, I have experienced superior customer service. I was not as impressed with the hotel side of operations during my last stay because of numerous issues that had to be resolved during my stay. (Some of which were never resolved.) We spent a significant amount of time at the bars and restaurants in the hotel. Schuyler and Justin are superb bartenders and were genuinely nice to us during our stay. They created cocktails to suit our tastes and remembered our names from the first day. It was an absolute pleasure to be served by them and their excellent customer service is likely why I overlooked a majority of the issues we had on the hotel side of the house. This gorgeous property is absolutely worth visiting. I believe there must have been a change in management recently as I have stayed at this property multiple times over the years and this is the first time they disappointed me. If you stay at this property, make sure to have drinks at the lobby bar and get reservations at Scampo. DELICIOUS! April 8, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by jwericks4444 Underwhelmed I've been staying at the Liberty for a couple years and I have to admit the standard of service keeps getting worse and worse. Two cases in point. First, the internet was extremely spotty during not only my most recent stay but also the last time I had stayed there. I tried to use both the complementary service as well as the paid service and both were very slow on multiple devices that I used. I had called Services and they mentioned that they were switching to a new wi-fi network and to "keep trying". Really? You need to do more than that. Second, i realize it is a perk but one of the nice things about the Luxury Collection is the complementary shoe shine. On my last stay there, I had called Services the night before and asked to please pick up my shoes. They indicated that they would pick it right up. However, in the morning, the shoes were there, still dirty. Not a huge issue, just surprised. Both of these things are minor issues but they seem to be a sign that the Liberty is slipping somewhat. There is a premium to stay there and for me these types of services are worth the premium. If not, there are many other Starwood properties in Boston to choose from. February 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nealc Great location! We were at this property for a company Christmas Party. Although we only stayed on night, we had a wonderful experience! December 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by cazman85 My favorite place to Stay in Boston The Liberty remains a favorite in downtown Boston, despite inconsistencies now that the hotel is part of Starwood system October 29, 2012

Rated 1 out of 5 by SooperDoc Pretentious With Mediocre Service The hotel is a great property that is pushing a luxury hotel that is a club. I think the idea could work, but the Libery's execution is flawed. Having a club at the entrance of the hotel is a poor idea. While it is entertaining to walk into, it creates a mass of logistical and potentially legal problems. Having cars pull up to where the club entrance is creates an unsafe environment. Walking into the hotel lobby through two "clubs" is interesting, but as someone checking into the hotel and expecting to have a more relaxed atmosphere, the concept fails miserably. If the entrance was seperated from the "club" entrance perhaps the concept would work better. In addition to this design flaw, the staff are rather pretentious and generally unhelpful. The restaurant service was slow, the Valet brought up the wrong car and also argued with me when I arrived. The front desk was reasonable. I was very surprised at the lack of service and attention to detail at the hotel and think that by including the "clubs", the hotel makes it very difficult to enjoy the experience. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and would suggest that there are plenty of better options in Boston to stay at. November 11, 2013

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis monograph presents an up to date perspective of gas discharge physics and its applications to various industries. It starts from a comprehensive overview of the different types to generate plasmas by DC discharges, capacitive and inductive radiofrequency coupling, helicon waves including electron cyclotron resonance, and ion beams. To compare these theories with inert plasmas, a fundamental description of plasma diagnostics is presented on the basis of four prominent methods and extended to reactive plasmas. The second part extensively deals with the interaction of these plasmas with surfaces in order to coat or to etch them with reactive gases. Main topics are sputtering, plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, and reactive ion etching. The difficulties which had to be overcome to reach the next technological node in the semiconductor map are documented by a long row of microfeatures. These processes and corresponding microscopic mechanisms are discussed in the final section of this part. In the concluding third part, various fundamental derivations are minutely extended which are required for a deep understanding of the plasma processes. less

Prime Minister Stephen Harper's 'racist' government could face retaliation after Canada cut diplomatic relations with Iran on Friday, the Middle Eastern nation warned today. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Canada is simply a mouthpiece for Israel and the United Kingdom. "The current government of Canada under the leadership of Mr Stephen Harper is known for extreme policies in the domain of foreign policy," Mehmanparast said, according to The Globe and Mail. "The hostile behavior of the current racist government in Canada in reality follows the policies dictated by the Zionists (Israel) and the British." Iranian representatives said the country would soon respond. More from GlobalPost: Canada closes Iran embassy, expels diplomats Canada's Foreign Minister John Baird called Iran the "most significant threat to global peace and security in the world today." He cited the country's "appalling" human rights, support of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, "military dimensions" of its nuclear program and "anti-Semitic racist rhetoric" as reasons for the sudden decision. Baird also suggested Iran does little to protect foreign diplomats. He closed Canada's embassy in Iran and gave Iranian diplomats five days to leave Canada. In immediate reaction, The Canadian Press reported that an Iranian parliamentarian will not attend a multi-national meeting in Canada late next month. The Iran-based Fars news agency said Ali Larijani, the Islamic Republic's parliamentary speaker, won't attend a meeting of global parliamentarians.

Neil Patrick Harris is mulling like ten Oscar jokes about Affleck's 'Gone' manhood
The Oscar host cannot resist this large target
The Oscar host cannot resist this large target
Or some very similar-looking Bostonians did.
For all we know he might be playing Dick Grayson AND Jimmy Olsen.
Naturally, cameras were all over them.
We're guessing he's probably not jealous of George Clooney's turn as the Caped Crusader either.
Patrick Fugit has gone full circle from rock kid to stiff cop in 'Gone Girl.'
Christian Bale was just a little jealous of Ben Affleck.

Linux Means Business: A Case Study of Pakistan On-Line
At POL, we have been using Apache from the beginning. We have found the Apache web server excellent where stability and performance is concerned. We have many virtual domains running on a single web server, utilizing only one IP address. Basic configuration and virtual hosting for Apache is quite simple. You can also use SSL, URL caching, and protected user directories with Apache. All of the POL users have their own web pages which are kept in their home directories on the Apache server, and are free to update these pages any time they wish.
The Apache server is of great commercial use, as you can utilize it with databases, ODBC, etc. In fact, we have tested it with mSQL, ODBC and MySQL at Pakistan On-Line. We have found some clients who are interested in co-locating their database server at the POL premises and linking them to the Apache server for on-line databases. We are sure this will be a great success for us here in Pakistan.
Pakistan On-Line is using the Linux kernel features for firewalling, IP masquerading and transparent proxying. We have installed Linux-based firewalls for some of our corporate clients. We have tested both packet filtering and proxy-based firewalls. For a proxy-based firewall, we have used Trusted Information Systems (TIS) Firewall Toolkit (FWTK), which is freely available in source code form on the Internet.
IP masquerading has been useful in environments where IP addresses are very sparse. In fact, this situation prevails in most of the developing countries where we do not have enough IP addresses for corporate clients. IP masquerade plays a very important role in those circumstances where we can use a Linux box to support a virtually unlimited number of computers to connect to the Internet through a single legal IP address.
Some of POL's corporate clients have dozens of computers on their private networks where they need Internet access. It is difficult for us to assign as many IPs to these customers as they want. We use the Linux IP masquerading feature on a computer running Linux, which then acts as gateway for the private LAN. Now the company is free to add as many computers on their private LAN as they want, without consulting the ISP again and again.
This arrangement has been very useful for us and has given POL an edge over other ISPs here. Other ISPs try to provide such a solution based on the Windows NT Server and Microsoft Proxy Server, which are costly for both hardware and software. Also, the NT-based system does not pass through all protocols as transparently as Linux does.
The transparent proxy feature in the Linux kernel is also very useful. We are using the transparent proxy feature with the help of Cisco routers to force all WWW traffic to pass through our proxy server. On the Cisco router, we have extended access lists which redirect all outgoing traffic on port 80 to pass through the Linux server. Another package, tproxyd, has also proven to be very useful in our operations. More information on tproxyd can be obtained from its web site (see Resources). A sample Cisco access list that serves the job might look like this:
interface Ethernet0 ip address 220.127.116.11 255.255.255.0 ip policy route-map proxy-redir ! access-list 101 permit tcp 220.127.116.11 0.0.0.255 any eq www route-map proxy-redir permit 20 match ip address 101 set ip default next-hop 188.8.131.52 !
Now, when the router receives an IP packet with a destination port equal to 80 from any computer on local network 188.8.131.52/24, it redirects this packet to 18.104.22.168, which is a Linux server running as the proxy server. The Linux ipfwadm utility is then used to manage this kind of traffic.
As far as caching is concerned, squid has remained our choice. It provides very good performance as well as stability. This is also used with the transparent proxy feature of Linux to obtain extra benefit. A number of tools for squid which analyze performance and scan logs in graphical format are available on the Internet.
The ISP accounting and billing system is the most important thing, because this is the process that generates money for an ISP. It needs to be very accurate and stable. We have three types of systems that support dial-in users:
Linux-based servers with multiport cards. The login and logout information from these is obtained through syslogd.
Xyplex Max 1640 servers that can send both RADIUS and syslogd information. We are using syslogd information for billing purposes.
Cisco remote access servers, which are sending accounting information to the RADIUS server.
We have developed a billing system in C that gets information from all three types of servers and generates user log files. Any user can see his billing information whenever required. We also use shell scripts for some housekeeping jobs in our billing system. It has proven to be a very good and user-friendly system, and two other small ISPs now use this same billing system.

Archive for the 'John McCain' Category
This morning's biggest political headline is Ted Cruz's announcement that he's running for president. Right behind that headline, though, is this Washington Post article:
COLUMBIA, S.C. — When Jim Ulmer came to see Scott Walker here last week, he was transfixed. "He's the little engine that could," Ulmer said, describing the Wisconsin governor who successfully battled labor unions and has rocketed to the front of the Republican presidential race. "He has guts," said Ulmer, 52, Republican Party chairman in rural Orangeburg County. "The people of America are looking for another Ronald Reagan, someone we can believe in, someone who will keep freedom safe. Walker could be it."
That's the basis for the article's headline. Still, that isn't what should give the Bush campaign pause. This should:
Those who turned out in droves to size up Walker during two days of events here said his top rival, Jeb Bush, a former Florida governor and heir to a political dynasty, gives them pause. None mentioned Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), a tea party favorite who will announce his candidacy Monday at Liberty University in Virginia.
This isn't a prediction but it wouldn't surprise me if Jeb Bush flopped. The media love Jeb Bush. They're love that he isn't willing to rule of raising taxes. They love the fact that he's a fierce advocate for federal control of education, aka Common Core. Mostly, though, they love him for supporting the Democrats' immigration bill.
That puts him out of step with Republicans.
It isn't that Bush "gives them pause." It's that Republican activists don't trust Jeb. They don't trust Bush because he represents the loser wing of the Republican Party. There isn't a dime's worth of difference between Jeb Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney. They don't fight for conservatism. Their chief attribute is that they're supposedly electable.
Contrast that with Scott Walker:
As they see it, he's a fighter, tenacious and decisive. He fought the unions again and again, and he won each time. They see the 47-year-old governor as a truth-teller, a pure conservative and an energetic, fresh face, as the future.
"He represents everything I want in a president," Joan Boyce, 61, a school cafeteria worker, said after seeing him speak at a barbecue dinner in Greenville. "He's refreshing for a change. He feels honest to me; he really does. He doesn't talk like a politician. He talks like a regular guy."
Scott Walker has a substantial list of conservative accomplishments. People appreciate that. They don't appreciate Gov. Bush's attempt to sell conservatives down the river on important things like immigration and Common Core.
Technorati: Scott Walker, South Carolina Primary, Jeb Bush, Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Common Core, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Republicans, Election 2016
Wherever Vin Weber goes, the kiss of death comes with him. This Washington Post article says that Weber has signed onto Jeb Bush's "all-but-certain bid for the Republican presidential nomination":
Vin Weber, a former Minnesota congressman and top policy adviser on Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign, is assisting Jeb Bush's all-but-certain bid for the Republican presidential nomination, adding yet another high-powered strategist to the former Florida governor's political circle. Weber confirmed his move Tuesday, as did a Bush aide, after several GOP officials said Weber was working behind the scenes to win Bush support among influential donors and conservative intellectuals.
"My message to conservatives has been: this is the conservative Bush," Weber said in a phone interview. "I remember when his brother first ran, and he was a fine president. But at the time, most conservatives around the country said it's too bad because Jeb is the real conservative in the family. I'm reminding my friends about those conversations."
Jeb might be the most conservative of the Bushes. As Florida's governor, he implemented some genuinely conservative reforms. Since going national, however, Jeb's taken on a leftist tilt, starting with his support for Common Core, which most movement conservatives consider the ultimate deal-breaker for GOP presidential candidates.
In recent weeks, Weber said he and other Bush allies have been informally meeting with skeptical leaders on the right to talk through Bush's gubernatorial record, touting his work on "educational choice and taxes and spending." Their goal is to scrape away the notion that Bush is a political moderate, a notion that has become a barnacle on his potential candidacy.
Vin Weber knows that Jeb Bush's chances at being the nominee shrink rapidly if he's tagged with the moderate label. Bush's stand on Common Core is close to a deal-breaker. Bush's position on immigration isn't noticeably different from John McCain's or Lindsey 'Gramnesty' Graham's position on amnesty. Bush's statement at a CEO conference hosted by the Wall Street Journal that Republicans have to be willing to "lose the primary to win the general election" turned lots of people off. John McCain threw conservatives, especially Christian conservatives, under the bus in 2008. His defeat was the worst defeat a Republican presidential nominee has suffered since Barry Goldwater's defeat at the hands of LBJ in 1964.
Jeb Bush's disastrous statement won't help his cause. Frankly, it's a miscalculation. You can't tell conservatives they're wrong, then expect them to support you in the general election.
During Romney's campaigns for the White House in 2008 and 2012, Weber served as a senior policy hand, organizing meetings with think-tank specialists on foreign and domestic issues, and keeping tabs on conservative concerns.
There's the proof that Weber is the GOP's kiss of death, the GOP's equivalent of Bob Shrum or Bob Beckel.

After John McCain lost in 2008, I spoke with a friend about senators becoming presidents. I half-kiddingly said that Republicans should pass a motion that senators should never be allowed to be the GOP's presidential nominee. I know that such a resolution is impossible, which is why I said it in jest. That being said, senators don't run things. They aren't the decider. They're the pontificators. Soon-to-be former Gov. Rick Perry, (R-TX), weighed in on the subject:
Perry, considering a repeat presidential bid in 2016, had just spoken at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Reagan's famous "A Time For Choosing" speech. Among his scalding criticisms of Obama, Perry explained the president's failings as due to his background as a U.S. senator, something that happens to apply to several of his would-be challengers for the GOP presidential nomination.
"If you're in the Senate or if you're in the House, you can give a speech and then go home. Governors can't. We have to govern," Perry said, adding, "And the president of the United States, historically, has had to operate that way, too; the ones that were successful. And one of the reasons why this President is not successful is because he's never had that experience."
Asked if the next president will be a senator, Perry said, "No."
It's worth noting that the top-tier candidates on the Democratic side are both senators, too. But I digress.
Gov. Perry is right, though intentionally a bit oversimplistic. Legislators work hard if they're doing their jobs right. That being said, their job is mostly debating legislation. Their work is done during scheduled sessions. Presidents and governors work during sessions, too, to get their legislative agendas passed. During sessions, though, they're also called on to deal with crises, whether it's a president responding to international hot spots or governors responding to public safety crises within their state or on their state's borders.
Then, after the sessions are over, presidents and governors are essentially on call 24/7 the rest of the year. They're never on recess, though President Obama certainly makes it look like he doesn't take the White House with him.
It isn't a stretch to think that Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz think they see the next president of the United States when they look in the mirror each morning. They don't. What accomplishments do these men have? They haven't implemented major reforms like Scott Walker, John Kasich, Perry and Bobby Jindal have. They haven't revived their states' economies like Kasich, Perry and Walker have. The best that Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz can say is that they prevented Sen. Reid and President Obama from doing awful things.
They shouldn't be discredited for that. What they've done isn't insignificant. It just isn't nearly as significant as what Govs. Walker, Jindal, Perry and Kasich have accomplished.
Lest this be just about Republicans, let's ask what Hillary or Elizabeth Warren has accomplished. Hillary's staff noted that she traveled more flight miles than any other Secretary of State in US history. That's nice. She can redeem those miles so she and Bill can take a nice vacation together.
In terms of actual policies implemented, she got 4 American patriots killed in Benghazi by being asleep at the switch. She ignored multiple pleas from Christopher Stevens for enhanced security for the compound in Benghazi. Then she the nerve to say she hadn't heard of those urgent requests.
Nobody will buy that BS in 2016. They didn't buy it in 2012 and they aren't buying it now.
Her first 'accomplishment' was presenting Russia with a reset switch that Russia interpreted as meaning that they could do whatever they wanted in Ukraine and anywhere else in eastern Europe and the middle east. Coddling our enemies (Russia, Iran) and mistreating our allies (Israel, the British and Iraq) isn't what presidential resumes are built on.
As pathetic as Hillary's list of accomplishments is, Elizabeth Warren's list of accomplishments is more pathetic. In fact, it's nonexistent.
It's still early but I'd argue that 2016 is shaping up to be GOP year for taking back the White House. Rick Perry has presided over the strongest economy in the nation. Scott Walker passed collective bargaining reform, then staved off the unions' attempts to kill the reforms. He also passed a $2.2 billion tax cut while creating 110,000 jobs. Bobby Jindal passed school choice laws that are improving educational outcomes in Louisiana. John Kasich's economic policies have revived Ohio. He cut taxes while eliminating an $8 billion deficit upon entering office.
By comparison, the Democrats have a pair of wannabes as their top tier.

Last night was Jay Carney's first night as a senior political analyst for CNN. After watching this video, I hope CNN isn't paying him much:
Frankly, Sen. McCain beat him like a drum. It was a flashback to the daily Carney fetal position daily briefings. This exchange is exceptionally decisive:
McCAIN: No, facts are stubborn things, Mr. Carney, and that is his entire national security team, including the Secretary of State said he want to arm and train and equip these people and he made the unilateral decision to turn them down. The fact he didn't a residual force in Iraq, overruled all of his military advisers, is the reason why we're facing ISIS today.
So the facts are stubborn things in history and people ought to know them. And now the president is saying basically that we are going to take certain actions, which I would favor, but to say that America is safer, and that the situation is very much like Yemen and Somalia shows me that the president really doesn't have a grasp for how serious the threat of ISIS is.
CARNEY: Well, again, Senator, we're going to have to agree to disagree. And I think on the question of the residual force, there was another player in that which was the Iraqi government. A, and B, it was the fulfillment of the previous administration's withdrawal plan. And it was also the fulfillment of the president's promise to withdraw from Iraq and not maintain a true presence, in perpetuity, which is pretty consistent with what the American people wanted and believed it was the right approach.
McCAIN: Mr. Carney, you are again saying facts that are patently false. The fact is because [Senator] Lindsey Graham, [former Senator] Joe Lieberman and I, we were in Baghdad, they wanted a residual force. The president has never made a statement during that or after that he wanted a residual force left behind. The Iraqis were ready to go. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee that the number cascaded down to 3,500. That was not sufficient to do anything but to defend themselves. And you in your role as a spokesperson bragged about the fact that the last American combat troop had left Iraq. If we had left a residual force the situation would not be what it is today. And there would be a lot more.
It's worth repeating that President Obama took the position of I-know-better-than-my-national-security-team what's needed in Iraq. That's characteristic of a man with great hubris. That's fine. History will judge him for that decision.
Further, Carney still sounds like the dishonest partisan hack that conducted the daily White House press briefings. He's still peddling the BS that Iraq kicked the US out. That's contrary to what President Obama said during a debate with Mitt Romney. In that debate, President Obamba bragged that he should get credit for keeping his promise of getting the US out of Iraq.
Carney hasn't figured it out that a glorified desk jockey can't argue with an eyewitness on the ground at the 'scene of the crime.' Sens. McCain, Graham and Lieberman talked with the Iraqi government. They don't have to accept the Obama administration's spin. They talked directly with the Iraqi government.
It isn't a secret that I'm not Sen. McCain's biggest fan. Still, if he says that he spoke with the Iraqi government and that they told him they wanted to negotiate a status of forces agreement, then I'll trust him.
Finally, experts understand that ISIL wouldn't have constituted itself had the US kept 20,000 troops on the ground. They would've been demolished before ISIL before they got to Fallujah.

Yesterday, I got an email alert about a lawsuit filed by the Center for Competitive Politics challenging the constitutionality of another provision of McCain-Feingold. Here's the heart of the matter:
The Independence Institute wishes to run two ads: one asking Colorado Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennett to support a federal sentencing reform bill, and one asking citizens to contact Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and urge him to initiate an audit of the Colorado Health Benefit Exchange. The McCain-Feingold law, along with a similar state statute, effectively prevents the group from raising money for the ads.
"This situation shows the damage to free speech caused by carelessly written campaign finance laws," said David Keating, president of CCP. "Instead of advocacy on an important public issue, there will be silence. That's unacceptable under the First Amendment, and is the reason why we filed this lawsuit."
Prior to the passage of Obamacare, McCain-Feingold was the worst legislation in the last half century. I can't even say that the intent behind McCain-Feingold was good. Its effect was to protect incumbents while limiting political speech.
There's nothing honorable about either thing.
Here's what McCain-Feingold does to issue advocacy:
Colorado and federal law treat speech about public issues as campaign speech whenever a candidate is mentioned in a broadcast ad within 60 days of the general election. Groups must either file public reports with personal details about donors who have provided funds for the ads, or refrain from speaking. The result is what First Amendment advocates call a "chilling" effect on advocacy, depriving the public of important speech about issues of public importance.
Here's why disclosure in these instances is frightening:
Donors and speakers have many reasons to protect their privacy. Some fear retaliation from government officials who disagree with them. Others fear physical harm or threats to themselves and their families, vandalism to their property, loss of jobs, or boycotts of their business if they support unpopular views.
Over half a century ago, the Supreme Court ruled in NAACP v. Alabama that not disclosing donors to issue advocacy groups was constitutionally protected. Imagine the fury that the KKK would've visited upon the people supporting the NAACP.
While the threats are different today, the threats are just as real. Instead of fearing the KKK, these days, issue advocacy groups have to worry about the Justice Department, the IRS and other agents representing weaponized government.
It's time to eliminate another disgusting part of McCain-Feingold. The sooner it's eliminated, the better.

If Harry Reid had said that he had sources who told him that Mitt Romney hadn't paid taxes for 10 years while he was at a fundraiser, he would've gotten sued into bankruptcy by Mitt Romney. Sen. Reid essentially admitted that he didn't have proof to verify his accusation when he said that he shouldn't have to prove it, that the accusation was against Gov. Romney, not him.
That's BS. The accusation against Sen. Reid is that he's a liar who's epeatedly gotten caught lying. Victor Davis Hanson's article provides substantial ammunition against Sen. Reid:
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Reid libeled candidate Mitt Romney with the unsubstantiated and later-refuted charge that Romney was a tax cheat. "The word's out that he [Romney] hasn't paid any taxes for 10 years," Reid said.
Later, when asked for proof, Reid offered a pathetic rejoinder: "I have had a number of people tell me that." One wonders how many names were on Reid's McCarthyite "tell" list — were there, as McCarthy used to bluster, 205 names, or perhaps just 57?
When asked again to document the slur, Reid echoed McCarthy perfectly: "The burden should be on him. He's the one I've alleged has not paid any taxes."
That's just part of the proof of Sen. Reid's McCarthyite accusations.
Reid has also brought back McCarthy's custom of vicious and sometimes profane insults. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Reid announced: "I can't stand John McCain." Of then-President George W. Bush, Reid said: "President Bush is a liar." Reid claimed that fellow Mormon Mitt Romney had "sullied" his religion.
When Gen. David Petraeus brought proof to Congress that the surge in Iraq was beginning to work by late 2007, Reid declared, "No, I don't believe him, because it's not happening." He elaborated on that charge by labeling Petraeus, at the time the senior ground commander of U.S. forces fighting in Iraq, a veritable liar. Reid alleged that Petraeus "has made a number of statements over the years that have not proven to be factual."
What's stunning is that his Democratic colleagues in the Senate haven't criticized him for his despicable, McCarthyite, unethical behavior. Neither has anyone in the supposedly MSM.
Jeanne Shaheen hasn't criticized Sen. Reid for his McCarthyite rantings. Mary Landrieu, Mark Udall, Mark Begich, Kay Hagans, Al Franken and Mark Pryor haven't criticized him for his McCarthyite antics, either.
In fact, Al Franken has virtually repeated Sen. Reid's rants against the Koch brothers, the Democrats' latest villains. I wrote this post to highlight the Koch brothers' crimes against America:
Far from trying to rig the system, I have spent decades opposing cronyism and all political favors, including mandates, subsidies and protective tariffs—even when we benefit from them. I believe that cronyism is nothing more than welfare for the rich and powerful, and should be abolished.
Reid's and Franken's repeated rants against the Koch brothers are rants against people who want to get rid of corporate welfare. That isn't something to vilify the Koch brothers for. That's something that should be celebrated. Here's something else that should be celebrated:
Koch employees have earned well over 700 awards for environmental, health and safety excellence since 2009, many of them from the [EPA and OSHA]. EPA officials have commended us for our "commitment to a cleaner environment" and called us "a model for other companies."
Mark Pryor is so disgusting that he thinks Tom Cotton, who served 2 tours of duty in Iraq, is a spoiled brat who thinks he's entitled to a seat in the US Senate.
To summarize, Sen. Reid's malicious lies against the Democrats' latest villain say that he's willing to say anything despicable to help his candidates. Sen. Franken's mindless rants against people who want to eliminate corporate welfare and whose employees have literally won hundreds of "environmental, health and safety excellence since 2009″ say that he's content with vilifying good corporate citizes for political gain. Sen. Pryor's hate-filled, anti-military rantings tell us that he's a contemptible excuse for a human being.
It's one thing to hit political opponents hard with verifiable facts. That's called playing political hardball. When Sen. Franken lies about American industrialists who've contributed greatly to their employees' lives, that's called despicable behavior. When a U.S. senator criticizes a military veteran of being pampered and having an entitlement mentality, that's proof that he's a despicable human being who doesn't have the requisite character to be a senator.
There's only one conclusion to be drawn from this proof. The Democratic Party is an immoral political party. They haven't hesitated in lying about the Koch brothers, Mitt Romney or Tom Cotton. Their senators have stayed silent while Sen. Reid maligned Gov. Romney, thereby giving their silent consent to Sen. Reid's despicable actions.
The Democrats' culture of corruption stinks to high heavens. It's time to eliminate that stench from Washington, DC. It's time to start fresh with people who'll listen to the American people.
That's the only way to restore trust in the institutions of government.

A loyal reader of LFR sent me the text of an article in the Legal Ledger about what happened after Sen. Julianne Ortman proposed raising taxes in 2011. Here's the key part of the article:
The letter comes after a few days' worth of news reports and speculation about some willingness to raise taxes within the GOP Senate caucus, whether it be by broadening sales taxes, eliminating tax breaks, or other means. Taxes Chair Julianne Ortman was at the center of the speculation after she made comments calling tax expenditures government spending. Ortman has told us in the past that she fully intends to review and eliminate some tax breaks, although she disavowed any express wish to raise total revenues. She also mused favorably about how some states have been able to broaden sales taxes and lower rates.
In turn, it seems GOP communications staff kept Ortman under wraps most all day Thursday. After her Taxes hearing Thursday morning, the head of communications for the caucus, Michael Brodkorb, was seen waiting in the wings with another communications staffer to lead Ortman away. In response to a question directed at Ortman, Brodkorb simply replied: "No comment today."
At the time, the House and Senate GOP caucuses were saying that they were committed to balancing the budget without raising taxes, which they accomplished after Gov. Dayton shut down the state government for 2 weeks.
First, Sen. Ortman's proposal was terrible policy because it didn't do anything to fix out-of-control DFL spending increases. Giving the DFL additional revenue is like putting out a fire with a little extra gas on the fire. Secondly, when Sen. Ortman went rogue, she did so without telling her colleagues. That's the fastest way of stabbing her colleagues in the back.
It was her way of saying that her priorities were more important than her colleagues' priorities, that her priorities mattered and that their policies didn't. When Sen. Ortman went rogue, House and Senate GOP leadership were in the process of negotiating with Gov. Dayton, Sen. Bakk and then-Minority Leader Thissen. Her proposal cut the legs out from under the GOP leadership.
The lesson to be learned from this is that Sen. Ortman a) isn't a team player, b) isn't "a conservative champion" and c) can't be relied on to do the right thing in holding down taxes.
Minnesotans don't need someone who will fit right in with the DC Surrender Caucus right alongside John McCain and Lindsey Graham. We need someone principled who will fight for smart policies that grow the economy, create jobs and make Minnesotans' lives better.

Friday night, the trio of David Schultz, Kathryn Pearson & Stacey Hunter-Hecht were guest panelists on Almanac. Predictably, Dr. Schultz bemoaned the fact that Republican moderates were nowhere to be found in the House on immigration.
This isn't a big thing because Dr. Schultz hasn't had a new idea in years, possibly decades. Further, Dr. Schultz has been a shill for the DFL for nearly all that time.
The problem with the Senate amnesty bill isn't that there aren't enough GOP moderates in the House. The problem with the Senate amnesty bill is that conservatives know it isn't a solution to the problem it's meant to fix. I wrote here about the gaping hole in the 'Border Trickle' in the Senate Amnesty Bill:
On page 35, line 24 of the new bill, a provision was inserted that says Napolitano–who already believes the border is secure–can decide against building a fence if she chooses not to erect one:
Notwithstanding paragraph (1), nothing in this subsection shall require the Secretary to install fencing, or infrastructure that directly results from the installation of such fencing, in a particular location along the Southern border, if the Secretary determines that the use or placement of such resources is not the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain effective control over the Southern border at such location.
In other words, House conservatives see this as a sham provision. It doesn't secure the border. It doesn't fix the problem. Its only purpose was to provide political cover for weak-kneed Senate Republicans.
House Republicans shouldn't budge from their demand for a real solution to immigration. That means a border fence. That means 5 straight years of enforcing current immigration laws. That means no catch and release. That means implementing E-Verify.
Dr. Schultz's lamentations about the lack of House GOP moderates is silliness parading as thoughtful policymaking. The Senate Amnesty Bill has a gaping hole in it. Milton Friedman, the late, great economist, was fond of asking where the halfway point between right and wrong was.
When the gap between House conservatives and the Senate Amnesty Bill are this immense, Dr. Friedman's question should be modified to ask what the halfway point is between a solution and a disaster.
The Senate Amnesty Bill is a disaster. The CBO says that it doesn't stop illegal immigration, meaning that the Republicans who voted for the Senate bill voted for a bill that will cause us to revisit the issue 5-7 years from now.
If I were advising House Republicans on this issue, I'd advise them to highlight the failure of the Senate bill to fix the problem. I'd send Speaker Boehner and Rep. Trey Gowdy out daily to any TV news program to talk about the need for a real solution. I'd have them pick a fight with Chuck Schumer, John McCain and Lindsey Graham. I'd have them ask why they support a bill that doesn't fix the problem.
It's really that simple.
Why would anyone trust Janet Napolitano on building the fence? Apparently, there's a bunch of idiots masquerading as GOP senators who think she can be trusted to build the fence. Chief among these idiots are Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Marco Rubio, Bob Corker and John Hoeven.
What's appalling is that Lindsey Graham was foolish enough to say that the bill's security measures are better than he could've imagined. While that might be true, that's only testimony to the fact that Sen. Graham sets a low bar to be impressed with. Check out Matthew Boyle's article to see what's allowed:
On page 35, line 24 of the new bill, a provision was inserted that says Napolitano–who already believes the border is secure–can decide against building a fence if she chooses not to erect one:
Notwithstanding paragraph (1), nothing in this subsection shall require the Secretary to install fencing, or infrastructure that directly results from the installation of such fencing, in a particular location along the Southern border, if the Secretary determines that the use or placement of such resources is not the most appropriate means to achieve and maintain effective control over the Southern border at such location.
This should be a poison pill for Republicans. Sen. Graham, however, thinks it's reasonable because requiring a border fence is a deal breaker with Democrats. I think that's spin. I'd bet they'd cave if Republicans forced them to defend against securing the border first.
Let's suppose I'm wrong, though. Let's suppose that it's a deal breaker with Democrats. That's fine. If they want the US-Mexican border to be as secure as the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, let them defend that position. I'd love hearing Sen. Schumer and Sen. Reid explain why a fence isn't needed to secure the border.
Personally, I'd love to see Sen. Graham get defeated in a primary, preferably by Rep. Trey Gowdy. It's one thing to have a big tent party. It's quite another to have politicians who cave and give their opponents everything they wanted from the start.
This is nothing more than Simpson-Mazoli, Part II. It doesn't stop illegal immigration. It helps import tons of low-skill, low-wage illegal immigrants into the United States at a time when unemployment is still high, wages are stagnant and the economy is still struggling.
As usually happens when Michele Bachmann speaks uncomfortable truths, the DC pantywaits can't wait to criticize her. That was certainly the case when Michele joined with other conservatives in calling for an investigation into Huma Abedin's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist organization.
Thankfully, Andrew McCarthy, the man who led the prosecution of the Blind Sheikh, has written this brilliant article highlighting the connections between Huma Abedin's family and the radical elements of the Muslim Brotherhood:
Ms. Abedin's father, the late Syed Z. Abedin, was an Indian-born Islamic academic who founded the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs in Saudi Arabia. That institute was backed by the Muslim World League. As the Hudson Institute's Zeyno Baran relates, the MWL was started by the Saudi government in 1962 "with Brotherhood members in key leadership positions."
It has served as the principal vehicle for the propagation of Islamic supremacism by the Saudis and the Brotherhood. That ideology fuels the "Islamic extremism" that, only a year ago, had McCain so worried that he thought allowing the Brotherhood into the Egyptian-government mix "would be a mistake of historic proportions."
Considering this administration's drift from ally to Israel to meeting with the Muslim Brotherhood, it's perfectly justified to ask what, if any, influence Ms. Abedin has had. It's certainly worth noting this information:
MWL promotes Wahhabism, the extremist form of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia. In the 1980s, the League's Pakistan office was run by Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood and brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden. Khalifa was the co-founder of the Benevolence International Foundation and he helped to finance Operation Bojinka, a foiled 1995 plot that would have simultaneously detonated bombs aboard eleven U.S.-bound airliners, blowing them up in mid-flight over the Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.
It's impossible to think that the Muslim World League, which promotes Wahhabism in Saudi Arabia and helped finance Operation Bojinka, is anything but a terrorist organization.
At minimum, there's justification to look into Ms. Abedin's connection to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is what Michele Bachmann, Lynn Westmoreland, Louie Gohmert, Trent Franks and Tom Rooney asked the IG to do:
McCain blasted Representative Bachmann and the others, falsely accusing them of doing to his friend Huma what he had actually done to ElBaradei, namely, implicating her as "part of a nefarious conspiracy."
To the contrary, the House members have drawn no such conclusions. Instead, they have pointed out the State Department's dramatic, Brotherhood-friendly policy shifts during Ms. Abedin's tenure as a top adviser to the State Department's boss.
Sen. McCain's temper might've clouded his judgment. That wouldn't be the first time that's happened. There's much more to Ms. Abedin's family:
And it is here that we get to Huma Abedin's mother, the Pakistani-born academic Dr. Saleha Abedin.
Dr. Abedin, too, has been a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, "which is essentially nothing more than the female version of the Brotherhood," according to Walid Shoebat, a former Brotherhood member who has renounced the organization.
One thing is inescapable: Michele Bachmann had more than ample justification for calling on the IGs to study these connections. While it's true that she ruffled some feathers in saying what she said, it's equally true that she said what the PC Establishment didn't have the cajones to say.
Here's a glimpse into what Dr. Abedin's organization believes:
D / Sheikh Abdul Fattah
Confirmed that he personally rejected these amendments fully, especially the item on the rhythm of punishment including his daughter circumcised, either the father or the mother or the doctor; may not be criminalized or prohibition of origin is permissible in Islam.
International Islamic Committee for Women and Children
The criminalization of female genital mutilation (FGM), clashed and completely incompatible with Islamic law, which did not provide for the prohibition, as Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi is one of the drafters of the Charter, where he says:
"Juristic evidence and consensus on the inevitability of medical male circumcision only, while scholars differed in the female genital mutilation did not collect the mustahabb but they differed between being a duty or honor or desirable)
Apparently, Huma Abedin's mother approves of practices associated with neanderthal living during the Stone Age. These aren't the beliefs of people living in the 21st Century.
Rep. Bachmann's statements have a substantive basis. The group's request that the five departments' IGs look into their request is more than reasonable. Meanwhile, Sen. McCain's diatribe seems like one of his infamous temper tantrums, not the statement of an elder statesman.
