CIC's CHOPSTICKS, FLAGS TELL REPS.: "DON'T SURRENDER"
CIC Demands Investigation into Pro-China Bribery
CIC members visited Capitol Hill on May 23rd and urged undecided
Congressmen to vote "no" on PNTR to China. In a symbolic
message, CIC distributed chopsticks bearing Chinese lettering, bound
together with a small white flag at the ends, and accompanied with a
flyer reading: "Please don't surrender to the Red China lobby! Please
don't cower to the Clinton White House!" While CIC was successful in
helping persuade a few Representatives to vote against H.R. 4444, it
wasn't enough to sway those Republicans and Democrats who acted as
lackeys for pro-communist China forces. One brave opponent of PNTR,
Rep. Merrill Cook (R-UT), has publicly denounced a "bribe" of $200,000
offered to him from the Red China lobby if he switched his vote. "It is
an outrage that congressional votes were trying to be bought so blatantly,"
says CIC's Jack Clayton. "This is criminal influence peddling and there
needs to be an investigation." CIC is demanding a bi-partisan inquiry by
the House Ethics Committee, and CIC is also asking all its supporters to
contact the committee at:
202-225-7103, Fax 202-225-7392 and E-Mail at tx21@legislators.com .
ELIAN TO BE EXPLOITED BY "EXCHANGE GROUP"
Recent reports indicate that Elian Gonzalez may be moved soon to
the Washington, DC compound of the Youth For Understanding (YFU)
exchange student organization. "I am shocked that a supposedly
non-political organization would allow themselves to become politicized
by Fidel Castro and Bill Clinton," says CIC's Scott Lauf. "In 1987 I
was a YFU student in Goya, Argentina and proud of it; but today I am
deeply ashamed. It is abundantly clear that YFU is now pro-Castro and
they want to use this little boy as a tool to open a new exchange with
Cuba." CIC's Lauf is urging all supporters to contact YFU and denounce
this latest exploitation of Elian. Call 1-800-TEENAGE; Write: 3501

HILLARY DELEGATES SPIT ON POLICE
Officers of the Albany Police Honor Guard were repeatedly spat upon by
delegates representing Hillary Clinton. At the recent New York State
Democratic Convention where Hillary was officially nominated as the
Democratic Senatorial candidate, several delegates of the crowd of
liberals spit on and heckled at five Albany police guards,
calling some "Nazis" and "Giuliani's Third Reich."
VICTORY OVER CLINTON: TRIPP TRIAL ENDS
The White House legal vendetta against Linda Tripp has finally ended.
Reeling from embarrassment, Maryland state prosecutors have dropped
charges against Linda Tripp for her secret tape recordings with Monica
Lewinsky. Last week, a Howard County judge ruled that Lewinsky would
not be able to testify in the trial. "This renders the prosecution's
case a pointless charade," says longtime CIC leader Mike Davis.
CLINTON CLOSER TO DISBARMENT
The Arkansas Supreme Court's ethics panel has finally made its official
recommendation that Bill Clinton be stripped of his law license for his
contempt of court charges and perjury. Eight of the 13 panel members
who were close cronies of Clinton were pressured by the White House to
withdraw themselves from the case. Nonetheless, the remaining members
found courage enough to side with the rule of law. It is now up to an
Arkansas county circuit court to render a final decision.
CLINTON-GORE RAKE IN $26.5 M. AT FOUL-MOUTHED GALA
Bill Clinton and Al Gore set a world-record in fundraising by cashing
in with more than $26 million dollars in one night at Washington's MCI
Center! Over 12,000 donors paid "tribute" to the Clinton White House
--- including 26 top celebrities and bigwigs who forked over $500,000
each. Funnyman and ex-cocaine addict Robin Williams gave a wild
pro-Clinton speech laced with numerous four-letter expletives, shocking
children who were in attendance. The money raised at
this event will be spent by the Democratic National Committee in helping
to elect Al Gore and other liberal Democrats in November.
