Walker *Dole Meets With Forbes-Campaign Aides Say Dole Will Call for Income Tax Cuts "What sort of rubes does Dole think the American people are? If, by some malevolent act of God Dole becomes president, he will either explode the deficit or raise taxes dramatically in order to pay for all the pork he owes Archer-Daniels-Midland and for all the prisons he will need to put women in who have abortions during his term. If Dole gave a damn about taxes for most Americans, he'd endorse Clinton. Clinton has reduced income taxes or maintained taxes for 98% of the American people." (Contact T.J. Walker 212-961-1468) *Gay Rights Grows As A 1996 Campaign Issue "Gays and Lesbians in America are the niggers of the '90's, the brunt of an attack so nasty, so pervasive as to remind us of the worst instincts of our ancestors. And the Supreme Court's landmark ruling last week is the homosexual community's Brown versus the Board of Education.' So of course the calls have begun for the impeachment of the six Justices who struck down a Colorado law which attempted to single out homosexuals as second-class citizens, denying them of their basic civil rights. Whining cries of "foul play" are in the air, as religious fanatics and homophobes use the same charges of an activist court -- bemoaning what they see as meddling with the Constitution -- that we once heard from segregationists hiding behind the robes of "States' rights" and the short-sighted assertion that the majority should rule.'" (Contact Jerry Klein 704-374-3912 jkwbt@clt.mindspring.com) *Welfare Reforms Continue From Both Parties "Unfortunately for Dole, President Clinton had already endorsed the idea of drug testing for welfare recipients. Even worse for Dole, there was no massive public outcry from liberals so the issue wasn't newsworthy. Liberals don't want their tax dollars to be used for drugs. They want welfare benefits to be used to improve the lives of poor families especially the children. What liberals find appalling is that while Republicans demand accountability from poor welfare mothers, the GOP wants no accountability from the states." (Excerpt from "The Jefferson Report".
