CR	Feb 20 2007 10:18 PM Legal birdshot: A law is needed to stop Pennsylvania pigeon shoots Tuesday, February 20, 2007 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Until 1999, Hegins, Schuylkill County, played host every Labor Day to a barbarous event posing as a sport. It involved using live pigeons, trapped or captive-bred, as target practice. The birds were released from tiny cages one at a time and then blasted by shooters. Those not killed outright, which was common, were then picked up by young boys who terminated the wounded fowl by wringing their necks or ripping their heads off. This ended because Hegins became a notorious symbol for animal cruelty and because the state Supreme Court ruled in 1999 that humane officers had jurisdiction to take legal steps against the organizers, even if they were not from the same county. While Hegins is no longer hosting pigeon slaughter, other gun clubs are. Humane officers can take steps to stop pigeon shoots, but because the court ruled on a narrow point of law, they are not actually illegal in this state as they are in most others. Pennsylvania needs a law to stop this travesty that serves only to encourage blood lust and give legitimate hunters a bad name. The Humane Society of the United States says five gun clubs in three counties in the east are still organizing shoots. Lawsuits have been filed to stop the practice, but they remain tied up in the courts. Shooting dozens of birds that barely have a chance of escape endures because of a culture that sees any limit on guns or hunting as a threat by outsiders on a way of life. Some officials in the courts and the Legislature buy into this resentment and are happy to let Pennsylvania go on being primitive. The Legislature has had previous chances to pass a law but has not. Now it has another chance with House Bill 73, which would prohibit pigeon shoots at long last. It would do so in the knowledge that these events are not a sport and this is not about hunting or limiting gun use -- in fact, decent hunters ought to be appalled that this goes on, so contrary is it to the sporting instinct. No, this is about animal cruelty, the mass extermination of birds, and as such Pennsylvania should no longer tolerate it. HB 73, now in a House subcommittee, should receive support from members of both parties. The embarrassment of Hegins lives on in other areas and nothing justifies that.

Democratic Party	Sep 25 2006 9:17 PM The Midterm elections on November 7th, are less than two months away and the DNC is calling all American Democrats to the polls. Now is the chance to take back Congress and all across the country, Democrats are gathering, sharing ideas, and supporting their local Democrat running for office. From Alaska to Florida, from Hawaii to Maine, Democrats are sending a message to Rush Limbaugh that his pain killer addiction problem, that his excuses are running out. A message to Katherine Harris in Florida that we have not forgotten from the 2000 election. A message to Tom Delay that your corruption has been brought to an end. To Sean Hannity and the rightwing network he works for that their smearing and hatred for the DNC will not work this November. To Former Representative Duke Cunningham and Representative Bob Ney that there is a culture of corruption. To Dick Cheney and Halliburton, that we are taking notes of everything you do and have done. To Karl Rove that he needs to find a new job. To Rummy and the question of where are those WMDs? A question to Condi Rice regarding how that Broadway show was while Hurricane Katrina was hitting New Orleans? And finally a question to President Bush. Can the DNC have that banner of 'Mission Accomplished'? We still do not know what we can do with that banner. Either we can take it to Iraq and have our brave troops sign the banner and then hang it in New York City's Time Square. Why? Just to show how much this small banner is the symbol of the biggest mistake an administration has done in American history. And how the Democrats again came back and cleaned up all the mess the previous administration left behind. Controlling the record breaking deficits, bringing an honest government and an honest congress back to the American people and to make sure not another Tom Delay or Duke Cunningham or Bob Ney never come back to Washington. To protect American rights given to us by the constitution and protecting this country from terrorists who want to harm our communities and our children.. That is the promise the DNC has and will keep.
