WASHINGTON - An Army specialist, saying it was "a question of fairness,"
filed a lawsuit Monday with seven other soldiers challenging a policy
forcing them to serve in Iraq beyond their terms of enlistment.

"I served five months past my one-year obligation and I feel that it's
time to let me go back to my wife," David Qualls told a news conference.

Qualls and seven other reserve members filed a suit in federal court
seeking a judge's order to require the Army to immediately release them
from service.

Other soldiers have filed similar suits over the past year, but this was
believed to be the first by active duty service members.

The lawsuit contends the policy is a breach of the service contract
because it extends the length of service without a soldier's consent.
It also alleges the contracts were misleading because they make no
reference to the policy, said Staughton Lynd, an attorney for the
soldiers.

Lt. Col. Bryan Hilferty, an Army spokesman, said he could not respond to
the lawsuit because the Pentagon had not yet reviewed the filing, but he
defended the policy as necessary to maintain cohesive units in the war
on terror.

>>>BLOG>>Who were the parents that taught this child a car was important
when a child is homeless? Who are these people?

>>>BLOG>>> Did our "liberal" public school system teach these values?
Would you Neocons consider these children to be the "liberals" that you
hate? One of these children could become one of our future leaders.
I for one would far prefer the "Liberal" leaning among us all. For it's
true that "there but for the grace of GOD go I".

Children are told "it's not nice to hate", it's not nice to hit others",
it is good to "want and need freinds", it is good to "love others as
we love ourselves", and it's good to "help the poor." Why do adults
forget or lose site of the simple lessons of a child?

>>>>BLOG>>>> Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, 30 east broad st.,
Columbus, Ohio, 43266-0418. 614-466-4980.

Dear Mr. Secretary,

I read your story in the local paper about how "the election process is
just fine and went really well". Considering 21 lawsuits, I am not sure I
agree with your professional opinion. Also Considering you were not one of the
sick and ederly that stood in line to vote, i'm sure you have your point
of view. After all you did not stand in the rain and you were not one
of those who became exausted and sadly left without voting. You were also
not one of the one million voters nationally removed from the lists.

My questions are simple. 1) How many Provisional ballots were printed in the
11,477 precincts in Ohio? The State paid for them, the company that
printed them billed the State by count. You must know this number or your
office may be able to tell me who does know this number?
Also I would like to know. 2) How many absentee ballots were counted...?
3) Where are the missing ballots now?
BTW, to answer you must count what you have on hand not used.
Example, number of absentee ballots printed (-) number not used = number
number of absentee ballots counted = number
Where are the missing ballots now?
Please reply as soon as possible, thanks, Jack09

>>>BLOG>>> Since the White House, the House of Reps. and the Senate are
all controled by Repubs. does this mean that the 55 million who voted for
John Kerry are the victims of "taxation without representation" and now
could be a part of a class action lawsuit under the Constitution?

Example; Cowtowndoc, owes $40,000 in back federal taxes.
If each of 40,000 tax payers donate one dollar we could set up a lawyer
esgrow account. The Money would be held in esgrow until the law suit is
settled. Interest could pay the Lawyer. The Lawyer could file on behalf
of Cowtowndoc and 55 million other taxpayers. Asking for all taxes paid
in 2005 to be refunded to the tax payers. Grounds for the Class action
lawsuit would be "taxation without representation." The burden of prof
would be on the Government to prove how the Repubs. in Congress did in
fact represent the tax payer in 2005 "Cowtowndoc" and 55 million others.
