Jim opened this edition of Crosstalk with news that President Obama has named Indian-American lawyer Rashad Hussain as special envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference to repair strained relations with the world’s Muslims.
Jim also reported that a number of states are saying that even if the nation passes health care legislation, they will exempt themselves from that legislation. In fact, Virginia is set to be the first state to sign into law a health freedom act.

This is President’s Day. According to Bill, Washington was born on February 22nd and Lincoln was born on February 12th. President’s Day unhooked the presidents from their actual birthdays when President Lyndon Johnson pushed through the 3 day holiday bill, the bill that moved any holiday that happened during the week to Monday.
Many facts are presented concerning the life, beliefs and governing philosophy of each of these great men. Here’s a brief selection of items covered on this edition of Crosstalk:
Concerning George Washington you’ll learn that…
--he gave up the opportunity to become king.
--in his farewell address he talked about the problems of concentrated power.

--the last bill he signed into law before he was shot was to put “In God We Trust” on our coin. More Information To order today's program on CD or Cassette for a donation of $6.00 Online: Use the link at the top of this entry By mail: Crosstalk By phone: 1-800-729-9829 M-F 8am-5pm Central
