Republican Women Leading the Way on Legislation

North Carolina Federation of Republican Women took the lead on several legislative issues at the winter board meeting on February 2, 2008. In an effort to promote legislation that NCFRW has determined to focus attention on this year, a number of resolutions were presented and passed unanimously.

The following resolutions were passed: to promote passage of "Jessica's Law" in N.C, to encourage a marriage amendment to the N.C. Constitution, to encourage passage of the "Unborn Victims Bill" and to prohibit the issuance of drivers licenses to illegal aliens through legislation. Go to the NC Federation of Republican Women web site to read the resolutions.

Up In The Air (on the lighter side)

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican." "I am," replied the man. "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat." "I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?" "Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

A Tax on the Rich

We often hear the liberal Democrats promising to increase the share of the tax burden the wealthiest Americans pay, supposedly reducing the share some of their base constituency pays. This plays well to most of the crowd that already pays little or no federal income tax. But the April 2007 issue of The American Legion magazine sheds the light of reality on this fallacious concept by quoting from a report issued from the Joint Economic Committee of the 109th Congress. This committee found that the "top half of taxpayers ranked by income continue to pay more than 96 percent of federal individual income taxes, while the bottom half accounts for just less than 3.5 percent." The magazine goes on to state that in actuality, "the top 1 percent paid 34.27 percent of federal personal income taxes in 2003, and the top 10 percent paid 65.84 percent." Keep those numbers in mind the next time you hear a candidate promise to shift more of the tax burden to the richest Americans.

An Interesting Quiz

Ok, class. Today we take a short quiz to find out where you truly stand on the political landscape. Take the World's Smallest Political Quiz, a short survey consisting of 10 questions covering two major issue groups. Or to provide more detail in the analysis of your political leanings, try The Enhanced Political Quiz, an updated version with multiple-choice questions covering 11 issues. Both give you the result on a two-dimensional diamond that ranges from Liberal on the left to Conservative on the right, and from Libertarian (less government, more personal freedom and responsibility) on the top to Authoritarian (more government, less personal freedom and responsibility) on the bottom. How do you score? Take the test (or take both!) and find out.
