EXPECTATIONS
Before starting with todays subject matter, I would like to call your attention to our "title the photo" contest which was announced in the January 28 posting.
-----
It would be fair to say that, generally speaking, Linden maintains a rather low opinion of the majority of those "serving" in the U.S. Congress. This would be especially true of the period dominated by the Pelosi/Reid comedy team. Thank God for those few who appear to be there to actually serve.
Linden expected the ongoing effort to surrender in Iraq.
Linden expected money to be thrown at the taxpayers in this election season.
Linden expected much worthless talk about the rule of law.
Linden expected footdragging in regard to appoinment confirmations.
Linden expected failure in regard to addressing the illegal immigrant problem.
What Linden did not expect was to become more aware of a problem that exists within the immigration area that is not associated with illegals. Namely, the lackluster effort to naturalize many of those who are here legally and are trying to fulfill every requirement.
Linden does not personally know a large number of those in this category; but, he does know of more than one who have been "jumping through the hoops" for more than ten years with still no idea of when they will be granted citizenship. It would seem that no more than six years should be required to meet all document shuffling requirements.
Another area which warrants action is the treatmen of foreign born spouses if they were married to a U.S. citizen in a foreign country. They are not allowed to join their spouse in this country within a reasonable time.
With all the favored treatment that is and has been considered for illegal immigrants, the treatment of legal immigrants could well be defined as unconscionable discrimination.
Feel free to share this concern with your Congressman or other official

HELP WANTED
It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts.
Alabama 5 Huntsville – One Found?
Alabama 7 Birmingham
Florida 2 Tallahassee – One Found?
Florida 3 Jacksonville
Florida 17 North Miami
Florida 19 Boca Raton
Florida 20 Pembroke Pines
Florida 23 Fort Lauderdale – One Found?
In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste Considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?
Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.
