Editor: Thank you for you and all the work you do to keep us properly informed. I am grateful for the " strength to carry on " truths that are presented by ACU to keep us going. This is my first time on your website and I already copied several of your reports to gain more insights that will better help me to pass on and hopefully inspire others to stay on the lighted path. It only takes one candle to light up a whole room, and you represent many! Best Life and Stars and Stripes Forever

Editor: I'm impressed with your work. I do wish the politicians would stop attaching non essential pork to major bills that can't be vetoed. There has to be a way to stop them from doing that as it is adding to the deficit in ways that is not necessary. Best, Dorothy

Editor: Another fine issue and great photos. JC

Editor: Good stuff, once again. CJ

Editor: I have a grandnephew in Iraq I am very concerned about the way things are going there, but I do not think that we can afford to lose there. I'm concerned if the American people have the 'guts' to stick out this war on terror, probably not until we have an atomic bomb in our own country, or something else as bad. We are at a very difficult time. The President needs much wisdom. Marie R. Larsen- a world war II vet.

Editor: Only Congress can set the rules for capture and punishment for those who commit crimes against the law of nations. Folks keep telling me they have no problem with the executive branch handling that. As I keep pointing out Article 1 section 8 gives Congress not the executive the power to make rules for capture and punishment against those who commit crimes against the law of nations; which covers Iraq and Afghanistan as Congress gave the President the power to use force against these criminals but did not declare war.

Congress for too long has given the executive branch too much leeway to the point where Congress no longer realizes when they are giving away those powers which the Constitution gives to the legislative branch. Anything your organization can do to force Congress to realize and accept its responsibilities in this matter would be appreciated.

Editor: Your piece on Michael, No Moore is already somewhat dated as this piece of garbage is scheduled to open nationwide late June. Mike Burke

Editor: Wasting Billions on the Green Agenda by Alan Caruba is interesting about the forgiveness of debt being used to save the rainforest. I can see how it would be negative to the Peruvian loggers at first while they lose their jobs. I support reducing the rainforest destruction but also would like to support human welfare at the same time. There are people in the forest that lose their homes when their trees are chopped. I don't know this is the case in Peru per se but I do know that that is what is happening in the Chiapas rainforest of Mexico. My argument is that regulation is not the answer but neither is rampant logging. The compromise I can see would be from the encouragement of rather taking things from the forest other than the wood, compared to the medicinal potential that is so variegated. This would slow the clear cut.

In the Real Problem with the Tax System by Andy Obermann, he says that a family of four earning 100grand would pay near 30% in fed taxes. My 2003 tax table says that after adjusting gross income the tax comes to just over 20grand, which is a big difference considering the deductions and exemptions that mean it's much less than 20% of the $100,000. He makes a good case for reducing government but I think it is important to be accurate. He must have overlooked that the 33% tax rate is for all income over and above the 28% which is also whatever exceeds the 10% rate.

Editor: I would not trust the UN to do anything for me. It sounds to me that this group wishes to rule the entire world, and have the US carry the financial burden. We must remain strong and if necessary stand alone. I praise the British for standing with us. Our President has done his best to free other people, and let them enjoy the liberty we in the United States enjoy. Sincerely, Elva Fuls-Richie

Editor: ON trusting the U.N. on Iraq, I just have one thought on this subject. Did we not just trust the U.N. with the Iraqi oil program? Are we crazy to trust them again---I think so---Edna Manuel--Elmwood IL.
