New Technology Helps Protect Sleeping Infants - And Gives Parents Peace Of Mind.
www.snuza.com

(West Hollywood, California) -- In recent years the incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) has been reducing, but it is still the leading cause of death for babies in their first year of life. Despite the overall  reduction in SIDS, parents are still being cautious by turning to
under-mattress movement monitoring devices on the market.  These conventional devices have brought some comfort to parents but just not
enough.  So now a new baby movement monitoring technology is being brought to North America by Pneo.  The Snuza Halo is a small, light, portable device that provides a unique new way to effectively monitor a sleeping infant. Story Continues

The American Way - READ THIS INCREDIBLE SPEECH!
Alan Korwin gave a speech to a large group on Patriot’s Day, commemorating the shot heard ‘round the world. Several thousand people turned out on a nice sunny day and to my surprise, constantly interrupted with applause. Seems he touched a nerve with this uplifting piece about what makes America great.

"The American Way is hard work. It is keeping the benefits of your hard work. It  is ownership of private property, and the sanctity of a contract between people. It is the idea that you and you alone own the fruits of your labors. It is the idea—of paramount importance—of self ownership. You and you alone own and are responsible for you. It’s a tautology. The king doesn’t own you. The state doesn’t own you. You own you. This is not a right you demand, or get from the state, or earn. It is a fundamental right of the fact that you exist. It is a right that comes from your Creator, by nature. It is the natural order of things. And it is honored here like nowhere else—that’s why we’ve achieved so much."      Story Continues

NRA Appeals Seventh Circuit Ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court

Fairfax, Va. - Today, the National Rifle Association filed a petition for certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of NRA v. Chicago. The NRA strongly disagrees with yesterday's decision issued by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, holding that the Second Amendment does not apply to state and local governments.

"The Seventh Circuit got it wrong. As the Supreme Court said in last year's landmark Heller decision, the Second Amendment is an individual right that 'belongs to all Americans'. Therefore, we are taking our case to the highest court in the land," said Chris W. Cox, NRA chief lobbyist. "The Seventh Circuit claimed it was bound by precedent from previous decisions. However, it should have followed the lead of the recent Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision in Nordyke v. Alameda County, which found that those cases don't prevent the Second Amendment from applying to the states through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."

This Seventh Circuit opinion upholds current bans on the possession of handguns in Chicago and Oak Park, Illinois.

"It is wrong that the residents of Chicago and Oak Park continue to have their Second Amendment rights denied," Cox concluded. "It's time for the fundamental right of self-defense to be respected by every jurisdiction throughout our country."

Established in 1871, the National Rifle Association is America's oldest civil rights and sportsmen's group. Four million members strong, NRA continues its mission to uphold Second Amendment rights and to advocate enforcement of existing laws against violent offenders to reduce crime. The Association remains the nation's leader in firearm education and training for law-abiding gun owners, law enforcement and the military. Link

Famous Posse Races After Killer of Dodge City Singer

The true story of the trek the most intrepid posse of the Old West

Famous Posse Races After Killer of Dodge City Singer
The true story of the trek the most intrepid posse of the Old West ventured on in pursuit of a reckless gunslinger is the subject of a new book entitled Thunder Over the Prairie. Thunder Over the Prairie rides into bookstores in June 2009.

The year was 1878. Future legends of the Old West—lawmen Charlie Bassett, Bat Masterson, Wyatt Earp, and Bill Tilghman—patrolled the unruly streets of Dodge City, Kansas, then known as “the wickedest little city in America.” When a cattle baron fled town after allegedly shooting the popular dancehall girl Dora Hand, these four men—all sharpshooters who knew the surrounding harsh, desert-like terrain—hunted him down, it was said, like “thunder over the prairie.” The posse’s legendary ride across the desolate landscape to seek justice influenced the men’s friendship, careers, and feelings about the justice system. This account of that event, written by Howard Kazanjian and Chris Enss, is a fast-paced, unforgettable glimpse into the Old West.
