		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Coburn is wrong&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;i&gt;Coburn called the bill insulting to veterans and warned that its mandatory mental-health screening could harm their future job options.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;The bill doesn&#039;t call for mandatory screening of veterans, it mandates that screening be available to them.&#160; Veterans aren&#039;t required to undergo screening for continued health care or any other reason.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;I think Coburn&#039;s real fear is the &quot;possibility&quot; that veterans might be turned down for a firearm purchase in the future.&#160; Evidently, he considers the 2nd Amendment more important than the safety of the veterans and their community.&#160; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Meanwhile, &lt;a href=&quot;http://icasualties.org&quot;&gt;icasualties.org&lt;/a&gt; reports 122 self-inflicted deaths for Iraq vets, as of 8/31/07.&#160; What exactly does Coburn think he&#039;s protecting?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&#160;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Screening? No!&lt;/strong&gt; People yelling for screening of this and that really need to get educated that pharmaceutical companies are behind all this.&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is a psychiatric / pharmaceutical plan to &quot;suicide screen&quot; every child in the United States before&#160; they graduate from high school. Evidence exists that shows massive pharmaceutical backing&#160; that will result in even more overdrugging of kids&#160; with psychiatric drugs .&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Can you take a moment to view this very short video?&#160; Click here: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfU9puZQKBY&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.c...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;And then sign and forward this petition &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.petitiononline.com/TScreen/petition.html&quot;&gt;http://www.petitiono...&lt;/a&gt; to&#160; your associates and everyone you know?&#160; It already has over 23,000 signatures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s simply a race to inform enough parents so something can be done about this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Ron Pauls bill: &lt;a href=&quot;http://thomas.loc.gov/home/gpoxmlc110/h2387_ih.xml&quot;&gt;http://thomas.loc.go...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Rep.
