		<title>An Important Favor To Ask</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I first began this blog it was my purpose to bring American politics and social issues into the homes of the average American. Since then I&#8217;ve written about issues and concerns that I have. Now I want to focus more on the concerns of my readers in order to bring you the information (and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Separation Of Church And State&#8230;.Really?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been hearing about &#8220;Separation of Church and State&#8221; since I was in grade school. I always thought the meaning and the purpose behind this separation was obvious &#8211; to make sure no government agency could force religious beliefs on American citizens. As I get older and the rules and the procedures and the things [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bill Of Wrongs and The First Amendment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I picked up a book the other day titled &#8220;Bill of Wrongs &#8211; The Executive Branch&#8217;s Assault on America&#8217;s Fundamental Rights&#8221; and written by Molly Ivins and Lou Dubose. While it was the title that grabbed my attention, it was the excerpt on the back of the book that made me buy it:

		<title>2010: Time to Make Some Changes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, long time no see huh?
I know it&#8217;s been quite awhile since my last post and all I can say is that. as far as I can remember,  last year was the worst my family has ever lived through. Too many things went wrong and too few went right; financially, medically, emotionally, socially, in every [...]]]></description>

		<title>June Recap And What&#8217;s Up For July</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This month topic was a controversial one &#8211; illegal immigration &#8211; but I hope I showed both sides of the subject. Obviously illegal immigration is a drain on our country but trying to deport approximately 12 million people probably isn&#8217;t a viable solution.
Next month is July &#8211; the month of Independence Day and the birthday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Call To Action &#8211; Fight For Tougher Laws For Employers Of Illegal Immigrants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While illegal immigrants are criminals who should not have snuck into our country, the companies that employ (or should I say exploit) these undocumented individuals are just as in the wrong.
As citizens, taxpayers, and American workers we need to let our city and state officials know that we demand tough penalties for businesses caught employing [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Illegal Immigration Ever Okay?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For this post I&#8217;m mostly going to discuss illegal immigrations coming over from Mexico.
About half of the people in Mexico live in poverty with approximately 1 in 5 living in extreme poverty. It is a tough place to live and take care of a family. A few miles away there is a land where the federal minimum [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Illegal Immigration Hurts Our Health Care</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of the topics concerning illegal immigration I have only studied in depth but when it comes to health care I&#8217;ve actually conducted an interview in the health care field who can confirm most of what I read through research.
Since the majority of illegal immigrants work jobs under the table or in low level positions, few of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Should We Offer Amnesty?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Oddly enough there are two groups of illegal immigration: those trying to get in and those whom are already here.
The obvious answer to what do we do with those not yet here is to keep them out. Not so obvious is what to do with the 12 million or so illegal immigrants who are already [...]]]></description>

		<title>Border Patrol Uses Music To Deter Illegal Immigrants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across this interesting article on Philly.com.
U.S. officials are putting together songs on Cd&#8217;s to attempt to make crossing the border illegally less appealing. The songs are created to sound like up-tempo Mexican folk songs with lyrics about crossings &#8211; gone &#8211; wrong.
An example of one such songs
&#8220;Before you cross the border, remember that [...]]]></description>
