GovTrack: H.R. 2356: Text of Legislation
On Tuesday, June 3, 2008, the President signed into law:
H.R. 2356, which encourages the display of the flag of the United States on Father’s Day;
To what purpose? To conflate Fatherhood with Patriotism? is that like the Women in WWII Germany who became Breeders for the Fatherland???
H.R.2356
Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002 (Enrolled as Agreed to or Passed by Both House and Senate) In perusing this Bil, I can find no mention of Father’s Day and the Flag… oh… it’s a DIFFERENT H.R.2356…..
Now, there is another test of “Patriotism”… Flying the Flag on a made up holiday. Can’t wait for the size of the flag to be deisgnated

McCAin=McSame he would spy on American Citizens
If elected president, Senator John McCain would reserve the right to run his own warrantless wiretapping program against Americans, based on the theory that the president’s wartime powers trump federal criminal statutes and court oversight, according to a statement released by his campaign Monday.
Do we really want more of the same? Does he make you feel all warm and gooey inside. This is not the John McCain I met back in 2004 as when I was a Greeter for the City of NY during the Republican National Convention. I don’t recognize this man. I seriously don’t, and that is what worries me. Sen. McCain survived the Hanoi Hilton, but did he survive the Religious Right of his Party? is he suffering from the trauma of having his career and life thrashed by the very groups he now kowtows to? I fear so. and, the John McCain who stood up to bush in 2000 has been disappeared.d.
