Bartlett aldermen got a firsthand look at the needs of the suburb's water and sewer budget Monday night, and it's not a pretty picture. But after a presentation by Mayor Keith McDonald's administration, the aldermen acknowledged a combined 45 percent increase in the water and sewer rates is inevitable. State officials have told the suburb that its utility fund is "financially distressed" because of losses in net assets for two consecutive years.
WASHINGTON - The stunning Republican victory in Tuesday's Massachusetts Senate race will force Democrats to fundamentally rethink the meaning of Barack Obama's election to the presidency, especially the notion that Americans want more government help in matters such as obtaining health insurance. Scott Brown's win in a liberal state will do more than vastly complicate Obama's bid to overhaul the U.S. health care system and pass climate-change legislation. It will prompt politicians of every stripe to redouble their efforts to understand voters' anger and desires ahead of the November elections for Congress, governorships and state legislatures.
In Iraq, the fight has been difficult, yet daily life has improved dramatically over the past 20 months, thanks to the courage of the Iraqi people, a determined coalition of nations, and a surge of American troops. The United Nations has provided the mandate for multinational forces in Iraq through this December. And the United Nations is carrying out an ambitious strategy to strengthen Iraq's democracy, including helping Iraqis prepare for their next round of free elections.
BAGHDAD, Iraq The decisive battle of the Iraq war is shaping up not in the streets of Baghdad but in the halls of government where the future of America's role across the region is on the line. American and Iraqi officials have renewed their resolve to reach far-reaching deals that would allow U.S. forces to remain on bases across Iraq after the U.N. mandate expires at year's end.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) announced today it has asked the Supreme Court to consider its appeal in its challenge of ObamaCare in tandem with the Supreme Court's decision to hear ObamaCare challenges from Florida and others. In a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari, the ACLJ urges the high court to take its appeal after a federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. earlier this month declared the individual mandate constitutional. The stage is set for the Supreme Court to decide all critical aspects of this flawed health care law," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. "While we believe it's appropriate for the high court to consider our appeal in tandem with the Florida decision, we also recognize that the Cour...
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, today urged the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a Florida case challenging ObamaCare on behalf of more than 100 members of Congress and tens of thousands of Americans. In an amicus brief filed today, the ACLJ urged the high court to hear the case and declare the entire health care law unconstitutional. From the very start, this issue was destined for the Supreme Court," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. "The time has come for the high court to engage ObamaCare and not only strike down the individual mandate, which forces Americans to purchase health insurance, but the entire health care law as well. The individual mandate is inextricably linked to...
MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Christian Coalition of Alabama (CCA) President John Giles stated, "In our April 27, 2004 meeting with Dr. Williamson and his senior staff, we were assured that all employees who have religious, moral or ethical objections would not be required to distribute Morning After Pills (MAPs). Obviously this is not a true representation of all the facts. We have been contacted by at least a half dozen women who were forced to either distribute the pills or face disciplinary action. Several other employees, still working for the Alabama Department of Public Health (ADPH), contacted us as well about their opposition to distributing the pills." Yesterday, Fox News Channel sent a crew to Montgomery to interview Lenita Akles and Linda Bell (former Heal...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) today urged a federal appeals court to reinstate its lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of ObamaCare arguing that the individual mandate, which forces Americans to purchase health insurance, violates the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. We're encouraged that the appeals court engaged the issues we presented concerning the constitutional problems with ObamaCare," said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ. "Our argument was clear: both the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent point to the fact that the health care law oversteps the authority of Congress. We're hopeful that the appeals court will act on behalf of our clients and millions of Americans who understand that Ob...
