Death just shouldn't be a taxable event.

The Founding Fathers believed that our Creator gave us certain inalienable rights. The Pledge of Allegiance simply reinforces the beliefs that led to the birth of our great nation. It is an oath of our fidelity to our country, and I am disappointed that the [9th Circuit] Court chose to rule against this American treasure.

When Medicare was created for senior citizens and America s disabled in 1965, about half of a seniors health care spending was on doctors and the other half on hospitals.

It is only in Washington where many still have a lingering animosity for the political parties. My friends, we need to get over it.

Priorities like winning the War on Terror and providing tax relief that will keep our economy growing strong.

What makes America great is that we can come together during times of national tragedy.

At the end of the day, my hope is that when the new Medicare- Prescription Drug Law gets up and fully running a lot more seniors will pay a whole lot less than they do today for their much-needed medications.
