Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

(Fox News) - Government officials in Santa Ana, California have refused to declare the city a sanctuary for illegal immigrants. So local immigration rights groups have launched a plan to create a hotline to report impending raids by federal agents.

The Orange County Register reports the program is modeled after a similar plan in Los Angeles. There were 175 arrests during five days of raids last month in Orange County. One advocate likens the raids to terrorism — saying "I call it terror because that is what a small child feels when armed men break into their homes and take away their parents."
