My calls to WDC indicate that the calls are coming hot and heavy - My Rep
says they are running about 99% AGAINST CAFTA in that office. KEEP IT GOING
!!!! All things point to a late vote tonight... Bush has to break a few more
arms and that is most likely all that is holding it up. Will they take a
recorded vote?
Also, another WGEN reader sent me a URL of a group who favors CAFTA

Surprise - surprise - Good old Muslim lover GROVER NORQUIST is on that list. Course - Grover loves anything that makes him some money. Too bad he cares so little about America.
Now onto the other hot topic - lines of succession - Wasn't it Haig who claimed to be *next in line* when Reagan was incapacitated? Now WHY would this *change be coming at this point in time*? Does someone KNOW something about to take place? I am always suspect of things done in the quiet corners, especially when there are several other things going on that are drawing attention. WHY is there anyone at this level of government holding *dual* citizenship?

Senate Changes Line of Succession
AP, July 26, 2005
2 hours, 21 minutes ago
The Senate approved a bill Tuesday to raise the homeland security secretary (Jewish Michael Chertoff, who holds dual citizenship with the state of Israel) from last to eighth place in the presidential line of succession, just after the attorney general.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Mike DeWine (news, bio, voting record), R-Ohio, passed without objection just before the chamber adjourned. The companion House bill, sponsored by Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., is pending before the Judiciary and Government Reform committees.
If the bill also passes the House, the order of those in line to assume the presidency if President Bush is unable to serve would be:
_Vice President Dick Cheney
_House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill.
_Senate President Pro Tem Ted Stevens, R-Alaska
_Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
_Treasury Secretary John Snow
_Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld
_Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
_Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff
_Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton
_Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns
_Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez
_Labor Secretary Elaine Chao
_Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt
_Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson
_Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta
_Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman
_Education Secretary Margaret Spellings
_Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson
The Constitution, however, requires that the president be a natural-born citizen, so Gutierrez, born in Cuba, and Chao, born in Taiwan, would be ineligible.
___
The bills are S. 442 and H.R. 1455.
