"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers. The firearm death rate in Washington , DC is ...80.6 per 100,000 for the same period. That means you are about 25 per cent more likely to be shot and killed in the US capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the US, than you are in Iraq.

Legislation introduced in the U.S. House by Rep. Frank Palone (D-N.J.) and in the U.S. Senate by Sens. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) and Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) will severely restrict all types of coal mining, threatening thousands of high-paying coal jobs.
ACT now and urge Congress to reject the so-called "Clean Water Protection Act" (H.R. 1310) and the "Appalachian Restoration Act" (S. 696).
These bills jeopardize the future of domestic coal mining and will saddle American consumers and businesses with massive energy price hikes. Hundreds of thousands of mining jobs could be lost and many projects that help stimulate the economy will never be brought to fruition.
ACT now and urge Congress to reject misguided and ill-informed efforts to prohibit mining practices that create good American jobs and help power our homes and businesses with abundant and affordable domestic energy.

America's future economic prosperity relies on the availability of affordable, domestic energy. Unfortunately, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) could soon impose a massive new global warming scheme on America's economy designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But you can stop them.
If you haven't already done so, please write your Senators today.
If EPA gets its way, American energy supplies could be severely constrained, leaving American families with massive new energy bills and American businesses buried under a mountain of bureaucratic red tape.
EPA could be stopped in its tracks by a bipartisan resolution (S.J. Res. 26) recently introduced by Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.).
By your urging your Senators to co-sponsor the bipartisan resolution you can help stop stop unelected EPA bureaucrats from ignoring the will of the American people.
ACT now and urge your Senators to co-sponsor S.J. Res. 26,please click here.
Thank you for your support.
