Today voters in the United States have the right to elect two senators from each state in an open, free election. That has not always been the case. Until the 17th amendment to the constitution was adopted April 8, 1913, each state legislature simply appointed two people to serve them in the United States senate. The change in the law was largely made because of one man, William A.

Some days when I hear the latest news report of the Republican presidential primary season, I feel like screaming and tearing my hair out. Is this the best way we can manage to winnow the field to choose our leaders -- constantly making every effort to demonize the opposition, distort his (it's seldom a "her") stated positions, and pour gasoline on the national fires of paranoia?

On the surprisingly lengthy list (created, edited and maintained by me) titled, "Facts About Canada that Americans Have No Clue About," sits a piece of Canadian broadcasting policy that stipulates 35 percent of all music aired each week on Canadian radio stations must be of Canadian origin (i.e., written by a Canadian, sung by a Canadian, etc.).

According to the Media Awareness Network ­- an Ottawa-based media literacy nonprofit organization, the "Cancon" rules, as the content regulations are dubbed, were "devised to stimulate Canada's cultural production by ensuring greater exposure for Canadian artists in Canada's marketplace.

Too bad for former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) the elephant referenced in the headline isn't a pachyderm; I'm speaking, of course, of the Internet.

The idea that there is an Obama communist agenda has spread throughout the nation and is ignited by the discovery of communist mentor, who has had seemingly strong influence on the president's life, but is there any proof of a red scare in the oval office, or is this just a political tactic aimed at a liberal leader?

In 2004 President Barrack Obama was labeled a "hard-core academic Marxist" by Republican Alan Keys.

Being charged with a crime is no laughing matter. If it is a civil matter that is bad enough but a criminal charge is even worse.

Criminal law attorneys are different than attorneys that work in civil law.

Why should I vote? What difference will it make? What is the point? These are questions that I hear all the time, especially in amongst younger members of our community. It is easy to see where they are coming from one vote in a sea of many may well not seem terribly important. But every vote counts. A democracy only works when everyone who is eligible to vote does.

Even though it is about one year and half before the 2012 US elections take place, campaigns have already started gaining motion. The current president, Mr. Obama, will be seeking reelection with his Democratic Party while the Republicans want to see one of their own in state house.

With more holiday destinations to choose from than ever, Turkey has become a holiday favourite recently as prices have been low - but so far this year the number of bookings has gone decidely downwards.

An SSI lawyer can be the same as an SSDI lawyer unless the professional has specifically specialized in just one of the two different programs that the Social Security Administration has. The difference between both programs is the fact that the individual who qualifies for social security income is basically one who need not have held a regular job and is basically poor with a disability.
