Arizona Senate Border Security,Federalism and State Sovereignty Chaired by State Senator Sylvia Allen
It's a long hearing but you need to listen and take notes on what we have been dealing with in Arizona and all the Western States. Ron Paul says he will eliminate the Department of Ag and Interior. It can not happen soon enough. This may not be in your back yard , but it could be. States must step up and take control of their state lands. It's not federal land it is federal mismanaged land. The land belongs to us not these bureaucratic agencies.
Thanks to Nancy Carr and Reverend Shannon Chestnut for bringing this issue to my attention. I have been a little pre-Occupy-ed lately.
Nebraska’s Board of Regents is apparently poised to approve a provision that would extend the University systems’ employee benefits to same sex and unmarried cohabiting partners. Reportedly, the rationale for extending those benefits is to ensure that Nebraska’s “institutions of higher learning” —– YES I use that term VERY loosely —– remain competitive with peers in the ivory towers of the upper crust elites known as universities and colleges. The pressure to be competitive, I now read, has increased since Nebraska became a member of the Big Ten.
Geez. Making football the center of a state’s universe actually has consequences, huh?
