Tenth Amendment Center | Real ID Nullification Legislation.
Led by Maine in early 2007, 25 states over the past 2 years have passed resolutions and binding laws denouncing and refusing the implement the Bush-era law which many expressed concerned about privacy, funding and more. While the law is still on the books in D.C., its implementation has been “delayed” numerous times in response to this massive state resistance, and in practice, is virtually null and void.

Impeach Him Now
Former East Texas lawmaker and larger-than-life character Charlie Wilson has died at the age of 76, according to Lufkin TV news station KTRE-9.
His death was confirmed by staff at Lufkin Memorial Hospital, which issued a news release, KTRE-9 reported.
Wilson, a Democrat, represented Lufkin in the U.S. House from 1972 to 1996. He gained notoriety for his efforts in the 1980s to support the mujahedeen in Afghanistan against the Soviet occupation during the 1980s.
Wilson secretly secured congressional funds to arm the Afghans. The funding eventually grew to billions, roughly half in hidden U.S. taxpayer money, half in matching Saudi Arabian funds.
The secret funding was spelled out in a 2003 bestselling book by former CBS News 60 Minutes producer George Crile and dramatized in a movie, Charlie Wilson’s War, starring Tom Hanks.
Wilson said he saw an opportunity to hurt the Soviets militarily and in their standing in the world after visiting Afghan refugee camps in 1982. The Soviets eventually pulled out of Afghanistan in 1989.
Wilson was known as “Good Time Charlie” when he was in Washington for his penchant for parties, women and mischief.
“I would remind you that I was not married at the time. I’m in a different place than I was in at the time and I don’t apologize about that,” Wilson said in 2003.
This video is being distributed around, has a quarter million views, 2300 comments telling him he’s factually wrong. And its still up.

It looks as if 2010, which should have been the year of its triumph, is going to be an annus horribilis for the EU.
HAHAHAHAHA!! What a story.
The Green Gym will be the first of its kind. Nowhere else in the country have such innovations been implemented for the benefit of homeless citizens. In addition to standard fitness equipment such as two weight machines, boxing bags, and a treadmill, 10 Green Revolution Technology™ enabled stationary bikes will generate electricity to be redirected into Cass' power grid. Over one year of four daily classes, a full class of 10 at the Green Gym can generate enough power to light 36 homes for a month, or three homes for a year!
