The Post Chronicle™ Commentary Representative Nancy Pelosi(D-CA) is a shrewd political animal. She knows that Democrats are likely to gain control over both chambers of congress in November. That would make Pelosi Speaker of the US House! Pelosi wants to hit the ground running in January 2007, and is drafting a Contract On America to highlight differences between Democrats and Republicans on major issues. Her hope is that the Contract On America will help sweep her party into power. Highlights of the Contract On America: Article 1: Impeachment of George Bush The single greatest priority of a reconstituted Democrat majority. Pelosi hopes to introduce a Bill of Impeachment on January 4, 2007. Ideally, the House would vote to impeach Bush before the president's State of the Union address in late Article 2: War on Iraq Consistent with Ms. Pelosi's remarks on this subject in late 2005, the Democrat party has no position on the war in Iraq. Article 3: Freedom To Love Amendment Enhances the Bill of Rights by guaranteeing equal protection to gays, lesbians, transvestites, those engaged in bestiality, and any and all forms of sexual expression. Prohibits any form of discrimination based on alternative lifestyle choices. Replaces any and all actions taken to define marriage in the narrow, homophobic, bigoted fashion---one man, one woman---favored by an overwhelming majority of Americans. Article 4: Taxes Repeals all tax cuts enacted since 2001. For any individual or family with an adjusted gross income(AGI) in excess of $40,000 in any one year, requires that all tax refunds received since 2001 be reimbursed to IRS. All such repayments to include compounded interest at the rate of 12% per annum. Article 5: Lethal Injection Amendment
Enforces the "cruel and unusual punishment" criteria in Amendment No 8 by making it illegal to use lethal injections in order to execute convicted killers. As such, makes the Bill of Rights more inclusive for killers, one of the most under-represented minorities in America. Article 6: Reproductive Rights Amendment Codifies a woman's right to unilaterally choose an abortion, including partial birth abortion, of an innocent human life, at the time and place designated by the woman. Specifically revises the Bill of Rights to exclude unborn children, the most over-represented block of non-voters in America. Article 7: Defense of American Family Against Gun Violence Nancy Pelosi and all dedicated liberals know that crimes involving guns would all but disappear if only there were more gun control laws. Thus, Pelosi proposes to repeal Amendment No. 2 to the US Constitution. Article 8: Emancipation of Illegal Immigrants Act Provides a reasonable solution to the vexing problem of illegal immigration by recognizing that migrants from Mexico are poor and illiterate and, as such, are a natural constituency of the Democrat party. Makes all illegal immigrants now in America, and those to follow, US citizens provided the individual can speak Spanish and prove that he/she has registered as a Democrat. Article 9: Culture of Corruption Act Makes it illegal for any lobbyist to speak with, email, write or otherwise communicate with any congressional Republican. Article 10: War on Terror Tax on "Big Oil" Recognizes that Exxon, Union 76 and all of the other oil conglomerates are undeserving beneficiaries of America's war on terror in the middle east. Imposes a 25% surcharge on big oil profits so that capitalist pigs will pay their "fair share." There you go, the Pelosi Contract On America. Think this is an exaggeration? Just wait!
