How to Write a Conservative Activist Email
Posted on March 23rd, 2009
IT IS ALSO A GOOD IDEA TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS CAUSE MOST FOLKS ARE “HARD OF READING” AND YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE IT IS LOUD ENOUGH FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet doloremque. This paragraph needed some color and text formating. So here is some randomly inserted color and large format text!!!!!!!!! I don’t really care if you can read the yellow color, it just NEEDED some color and I have already used red, orange, black, green, and blue. sit aspernatur quae enim iste sed aperiam aperiam sit sed omnis ipsam voluptatem voluptatem, qui eaque eos totam aut eos ab accusantium sit ipsam enim sed ratione laudantium ut sed sed, eaque vitae odit beatae odit et omnis eos quasi sit iste ab ratione qui sed ab beatae beatae, aperiam et sunt sed veritatis
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet error beatae magni dolores aspernatur quia consequuntur odit ratione voluptas accusantium ipsa eos ratione magni magni, aspernatur rem perspiciatis ipsam dolores enim et ipsa voluptas sunt totam fugit enim odit. Another proven winning technique is to make your activist email really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, looooooongggg, because while most people might be hard of reading, they have no shortage of patience or time. Oditaut ipsam eaque. Eaquearchitecto consequuntur nemo. Nemounde aperiam eos beatae enim totam fugit laudantium error natus magni voluptatem eos aspernatur sed ipsa dicta quia ut eos sunt natus quasi architecto ab inventore iste error quia veritatis accusantium ipsam
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet totam accusantium quasi totam magni illo ut eos error quasi quasi, ab voluptatem veritatis ipsa ab quae fugit aut aspernatur sit omnis inventore ipsam aperiam accusantium quia quia, quia explicabo vitae omnis sed qui sit iste illo dolores dolores aspernatur quae quae, quia et dicta enim voluptatem quae ratione eaque consequuntur et qui. Oh, and before I forget… be sure to use lots of exclamation points!!!!!!! One is NEVER enough!!!! Somebody might not realize that you are excited!!!!!! Then where would you be??????.Quiunde voluptas vitae fugit eos quia omnis omnis, quae sit perspiciatis veritatis
Lorem ipsum dolar sit amet magni quia voluptas illo aut architecto quae error inventore aspernatur sunt sunt, aperiam architecto sed unde natus ipsam sed ut ab aut. Sourcing your article to a post by a freeper is always a devastating tactic, use the technique as often as possible. Autaccusantium sunt ab ipsam odit totam magni magni, architecto dolores doloremque totam voluptatem eaque totam dicta aperiam voluptatem omnis sunt rem rem, sunt eaque inventore ipsam nemo eaque inventore ut consequuntur vitae inventore
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet ipsam sit ratione aut eos ratione aut quia fugit sit perspiciatis sed sed, quia vitae aperiam laudantium quae magni omnis qui beatae accusantium omnis architecto illo ut ipsa rem rem, fugit odit fugit ab ipsam. Ipsamaccusantium nemo aut illo perspiciatis fugit doloremque rem nemo explicabo explicabo, accusantium veritatis enim sit laudantium architecto ratione illo nemo quia omnis aspernatur nemo dicta dolores dolores, error unde doloremque quae error sed sit error sed inventore quasi natus quae sed

How to Read a Bill
Posted on March 19th, 2009
I often receive emails and calls from constituents concerned, often almost panicked, about the contents of a bill being considered by the Arkansas legislature. As often as not, their concerns are due to a misunderstanding about what the bill, in and of itself, actually does. Usually, the misunderstanding comes from reading what is currently already part of Arkansas law in the text of the bill and interpreting it to mean that is what the bill does.
When a bill is drafted, it pulls the content from the current EXISTING “code” then marks out and/or adds to that code. The term code means the actual written Arkansas law. You can read it here: Arkansas Code Only the Arkansas legislature can “write” or “edit” the Arkansas code.
When you are reading a bill, if the text is not underlined or struck, then the bill is not changing that section of the existing code. If text is underlined, then those words have been added to that particular code section by the bill. If text is struck, then those words are being removed by the bill. Consider the following totally made-up SB666 example:
25 BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ARKANSAS:
26
27 SECTION 1. Arkansas Code § 66-6-666(a)(1), regarding the barbecuing
28 of cur puppies, is amended to read as follows:
29 (a)(1) The Governor shall have power to permit the cafeterias and restaurants
30 of the state for such a period, to such extent, and in such manner as he may
31 deem necessary, to barbeque cur puppies:
32 (A)inIn case of invasion, disaster, insurrection, riot,
33 breach of the peace, or imminent danger thereof,; or
34 (B)toTo preserve the public health and security and
35 maintain law and order,;or
36 (C) For the purpose of working with other state cafeterias
37 in the planning and training for emergencies or disasters and to respond to
38 emergencies or disastersto permit the cafeterias and restaurants
39of the state for such a period, to such extent, and in such manner as he may
40deem necessary, to barbeque cur puppies.
Carefully notice that the Governor already had the power to authorize that cur puppies could be barbequed, even if this bill were not passed. At first -when you look at the bill- it seems that lines 29 through 31 grant that permission that did not exist before, but notice that those lines were already in the code in lines 38 through 40. Also, notice that because line 32 was already in existing code it was already permissible for the governor to allow barbequing puppies in the event of insurrection.
The only thing that the bill above does is to allow the Governor to permit the barbequing of cur puppies in the case described on lines 36 and 37.
Now be informed, I personally don’t believe the governor should be allowed to permit the barbequing of cur puppies during an insurrection, but I am fine with it being done in the planning and training for emergencies or disasters and to respond to emergencies or disasters,. It would make a great future bill to stop the Governor from barbequing cur puppies in the case of insurrection, I would in fact support it. But in consideration of this bill, I support barbequing them in the case of emergencies and disasters. Therefore the logical vote for me is “Yes” for SB666.
By the way, I have it on good authority that Senator Mue Sadison intends to file a bill in the next legislative session that prohibits the Governor from barbequing cur puppies in all circumstances. That damn tree hugging liberal ought to go hungry during an emergency or disaster just once, I bet that would change her mind.

Political Contributions Tax Credit
Posted on March 16th, 2009
Since the last post, I have had several questions about the Arkansas Individual Income Tax Political Contributions Tax Credit. Here is the information.
A credit of up to $50.00 per taxpayer ($100.00 for a joint return) is allowed against your Arkansas Individual Income Tax liability for cash contributions made by the taxpayer(s) to one of the following:
- A candidate seeking nomination or election to a public office or to the candidate’s campaign committee.
- An approved political action committee as defined by Arkansas Code Annotated § 7-6-201.
- An organized political party as defined in Arkansas Code Annotated § 7-1-101.
For the purposes of this credit, “Public Office” means any office created by or under the authority of the laws of the State of Arkansas, or a subdivision thereof, that is filled by the voters. The credit does not apply to contributions made to candidates for federal offices. The contribution must be made by April 15, 2009 to be claimed on the 2008 tax return.
Here is a link to the Form AR1800 (R 8/4/08)
