by LukeAmerica2020 U.S. Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), in a letter to his Senate colleagues, laid out his plan to push for legislation that will require Secretary Paulson’s plan for the remaining $350 billion in authorized Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) funds to be ratified by an affirmative vote in the U.S. Congress. In the letter, Senator Inhofe writes that the lame duck session provides Congress a tremendous opportunity to change course.

by LukeAmerica2020 President-elect Barack Obama will meet with Republican Senator John McCain on Monday to discuss ways they can work together. The private meeting between the former competitors will take place in Chicago at Obama’s transition headquarters.
It will be the first time the two have spoken since McCain called Obama to concede the election. In McCain’s concession speech on November 4, he promised to help his former rival address the country’s many challenges. The two will be joined by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, a McCain confidant, and Representative Rahm Emanuel, the Illinois Democrat Obama has chosen as his White House chief of staff.
by LukeAmerica2020 President-elect Barack Obama is planning to base his peacemaking efforts in the Middle East on the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative. The Arab Peace Initiative, based on the Saudi peace plan of February 2002, calls for a full Israeli withdrawal from all territories taken in the Six Day War, including east Jerusalem, in exchange for normalizing ties with the Arab world. This plan would take Israel back to its 1967 borders.

by LukeAmerica2020 This post and video are in remembrance of those who died in the Jonestown massacre, 30 years ago November 18, 2008. This mournful moment in our history should never be forgotten.
Jim Jones, a charismatic socialist preacher, was the American founder of the Peoples Temple, which is best known for the deaths of over 900 Temple members in Jonestown, Guyana. Also killed were nine people at a nearby airstrip and in Georgetown.
