======================================================================
LIVE IN MASSACHUSETTS? YOU CAN SIGN THE PETITION RIGHT NOW TO END THE
MASSACHUSETTS INCOME TAX.
======================================================================

Have you ever signed a petition for or against something?

Most petitions simply express your opinion. And the opinions of the
other signers.

Those petitions have NO force of law. NO direct legal power to change
anything. The signers are trying to influence or lobby those in power.

This Petition is different. It has the force of law. It is legally
certified by the Attorney General’s Office and is constitutionally and
legally authorized to put the Massachusetts Income Tax up for a
legally-binding vote.

Your signature – and that of another 106,999 voters – puts our
Initiative to END the Massachusetts Income Tax on the ballot.

Your signature costs you nothing. But it saves us $1.50 in petitioning
costs. 1,000 petition signers like you saves $1,500.

Your signature matters.

Please click the link below, follow the simple directions, help us
get this Initiative on the Ballot, and help us END the Massachusetts
Income Tax:

Thank you!

Carla just missed last time she tried it. (I think it was defeated 53-47! with a lot of the liberal press “dirty tricks”.)

If it every succeeds, it’ll be the death knell of socialism here?

“Legally binding” organ donation?

*** begin quote ***

North Carolina will soon become the 45th state to make signing up to be an organ donor legally binding, according to a story in the Charlotte Observer. http://www.charlotte.com/local/story/268591.html

Seems like a “sin” to deny another of God’s children a chance to live by being “stupid” or vain or superstitious. Imagine arriving at the Pearly gates, where there’s a big queue, and being greeted by a big Purple EZPASS like sign that says “Express Lane for Organ Donors”? :-) As if there is such a thing as a Pearly Gate. More likely Minnie Pearle saying “Howdeee”. And, I have to laff at my older relatives who believed that they’d need all their parts in the after life. To steal Marv Alpert’s line, “if there is a next time”.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) – Attorneys for the three players falsely accused in the Duke University lacrosse rape case are seeking a settlement of about $30 million and several changes to the state’s legal process, a person close to the case said early Friday.

If the terms aren’t met, the players’ attorneys will file a civil rights lawsuit against the city of Durham early next month, said the source, who requested anonymity because not all of the details of the proposed settlement had been worked out.

During a discussion Wednesday with Durham officials, players’ attorneys Brendan Sullivan and Barry Scheck, stressed that the money they are seeking – about $10 million each for David Evans, Collin Finnerty and Reade Seligmann over five years – must be accompanied by the legal reforms, the source said.

If I was those young men, I’d be on a vendetta for the Duke administration and faculty who had ANY role in this debacle. It was bad enough that the Gooferment was involved, but the faculty and administration were even more culpable imho. I’d want the life savings of every single one of them. They’d be eating dog food before I settled. And, I have no axe to grind!
