    RTS for Tuesday

    Matt,[neWLine]I wrote this not knowing for sure the length –
    it’s always weird when there’s a lot of white space. ANYWAY, it is
    written long so you can cut it to fit. Please don’t jump to back
    page. Thanks.[neWLine]Marty[neWLine][neWLine][neWLine][neWLine]This
    is RTS for Tuesday, May 29, 2007[neWLine][neWLine]

    ANSWERS: Hope you saved yesterday’s paper containing our quiz on
    a new citizenship test being proposed in this country.[neWLine]

    Here’s the answers:[neWLine]

    1. Four years[neWLine]

    2. Thirty-five (35) or older[neWLine]

    3. The United States[neWLine]

    4. George Bush[neWLine]

    5. Dick Cheney[neWLine]

    6. The Vice President[neWLine]

    7. The Speaker of the House[neWLine]

    8. The President[neWLine]

    9. Two terms[neWLine]

    10. The President[neWLine]

    11. The President[neWLine]

    12. The President refuses to sign a bill passed by
    Congress.[neWLine]

    13. Advises the President[neWLine]

    14. Cabinet-level positions are secretaries of Agriculture,

    Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services,
    Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Energy,
    Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban
    Development, State, Transportation, Treasury, Veterans’ Affairs,
    Labor and Attorney General.[neWLine]

    15. The State Department[neWLine]

    16. Decides if a law goes against the Constitution[neWLine]

    17. The Senate[neWLine]

    18. John Roberts[neWLine]

    19. Nine (9)[neWLine]

    20. The President[neWLine]

    21. Provide schooling and education; Provide protection
    (police); Provide safety (fire departments); Give a driver’s
    license; and Approve zoning and land use.[neWLine]

    That’s all for today. We’ll give you the next segment
    soon.[neWLine]You may remember that this new citizenship test,
    proposed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, is
    undergoing a pilot program this year. If all goes well, it will be
    fully implemented nationwide in the spring of 2008.[neWLine]

    To pass, applicants will have to correctly answer six of 10
    selected questions.[neWLine]

    Like we said yesterday, this batch of questions was fairly
    easy.[neWLine]

    In designing the new test, questions were made to focus on the
    concepts of democracy and the rights and responsibilities of
    citizenship. In designing the new exam, the Immigration Services
    received assistance and worked with test development contractors,
    U.S. history and government scholars, and English as a Second
    Language experts.[neWLine]

    It also sought input from a variety of stakeholders, including
    immigrant advocacy groups, citizenship instructors and District
    Adjudications Officers.[neWLine][neWLine]

    TODAY’S QUOTE: “”Real journalism – the practice of adding to the
    store of public knowledge by reporting news – is difficult,
    thankless and often unpleasant task. Bloggers want no part of it,””
    said Jonathan Last, columnist, the Philadelphia Inquirer, 2006. As
    always, today’s quote is from the Freedom Forum.
