A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 10% don’t believe Christ rose from the dead, and another 11% are not sure.
Eighty-five percent (85%) also think that the person known to history as Jesus Christ actually walked the earth 2,000 years ago. Six percent (6%) disagree. Eight percent (8%) aren’t sure.
Israel will be compelled to attack Iran’s nuclear weapons facilities by this November unless the U.S. and its allies enact “crippling sanctions that will undermine the regime in Tehran,” former deputy defense minister Brig. Gen. Ephraim Sneh said on Wednesday in Tel Aviv.
The sanctions currently being discussed with Russia, China, and other major powers at the United Nations are likely to be a slightly-enhanced version of the U.N. sanctions already in place, which have had no impact on the Iranian regime.

In Case You Missed It:
See highlights from our first debate with Charlie Crist last Sunday on Fox News Sunday.
On Wednesday, Senator Tom Coburn M.D. (R-OK) endorsed Marco saying: “I have closely studied Florida’s Senate candidates and have no doubt that Marco Rubio is the only fiscal conservative in this race. Rubio would be a faithful guardian of taxpayer dollars in Washington and valued ally in the Senate. At a time when Washington is piling on crippling debt on our economy, the American people need Marco Rubio in Washington to stand up to this reckless behavior and offer clear conservative solutions.”
Recognizing the importance of the youth vote, we launched our college campus organizational drive to recruit college students for on-campus campaigning, summer volunteering and voter outreach efforts. Find more information about the college campus drive here.
Happy Easter! Read Marco’s Easter message here.

MORAN REPEATEDLY DECLINES SOUTHEAST KANSAS DEBATE INVITATION – TIAHRT TO DEBATE AN EMPTY PODIUM IN PITTSBURG
Senior campaign official tells Pittsburg State College Republicans that Southeast Kansas is not a top priority for debates
PITTSBURG-The Pittsburg State University College Republicans are disappointed to announce that Congressman Jerry Moran has declined multiple invitations to have a debate in Southeast Kansas. According to former campaign spokesman Dan Lara in February, Southeast Kansas is not a big enough venue for a high profile debate between Congressman Tiahrt and Congressman Moran. The Pittsburg State College Republicans plan to go forward with a debate with Congressman Tiahrt and a podium waiting for Congressman Moran. (more…)

“I do have to fish or cut bait, just for my own personal peace of mind and also in fairness to the process,” Stevens, 89, told the New York Times. “The president and the Senate need plenty of time to fill a vacancy.”
CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, who Stevens told last month for a profile in New Yorker magazine that he would resolve on his retirement in a month’s time, predicted the 35-year SCOTUs veteran’s retirement is imminent. Observers of the court expect Stevens to announce his intentions on or after April 28, marking the last argument of the court’s current session.
“We are just about at a month,” Toobin said. “I don’t think he meant that precisely to the day, but I think we will hear in the month of April that he is retiring.”
Seventeen percent (17%) say this season’s title will go to the Boston Red Sox, who last won a championship in 2007.
Another 11% say the championship will go to Albert Pujols and the St. Louis Cardinals, while only seven percent (7%) pick last year’s National League Champion Philadelphia Phillies to win their second World Series title in three seasons.
No other team reaches 5% of fans’ predictions to win the World Series this year.
Perhaps not surprisingly, fans of the reigning champions are the most confident. Eighty-three percent (83%) of those rooting for the Yanks think their team will win it all in 2010. But members of Red Sox Nation are virtually just as confident, with 82% who say the Sox will reach this goal.
Though Torre was a nine-time All Star catcher during his playing days, he is perhaps better known today for his spectacular 12-season run as the New York Yankees’ manager, during which he won four World Series Championships. He left New York for Los Angeles before the 2008 season and the Dodgers have won their division both years since.
Hall of Fame player Hank Aaron earns support from 23% of baseball fans who say he should take the reigns from Selig after he retires, despite the fact that he himself is 76 years old. Though his all-time home runs record was eclipsed in 2006, Aaron still holds the record for most runs batted in and remains in the top five hitters with most lifetime hits.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – A Dubai appeals court on Sunday upheld a one-month prison sentence for a British couple convicted of kissing in a restaurant.
In the finest display of extraterrestrial girl power to date, four women astronauts are preparing to rendezvous in space nearly 50 years after the Soviet Union put the first woman into orbit.
The $100 billion (£66 billion) International Space Station (ISS) is to host the biggest non-Earth gathering of women, with one arriving on board a Russian Soyuz capsule yesterday and three more due to join her this week.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Saturday that world pressure on Iran, including talks of imposing new sanctions, makes the Islamic republic more determined than ever to pursue its nuclear programme.
VATICAN CITY, April 4 (Reuters) – A leading cardinal defended Pope Benedict at an unusual address at the pontiff’s Easter Sunday Mass, saying the Church would not be intimidated by “petty gossip” about sexual abuse of children by priests.
VATICAN CITY – A prominent cardinal, in a marked departure from tradition, stood near Pope Benedict XVI at Easter Mass in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday and delivered pointedly public support in the face of growing anger over the Catholic Church’s sex abuse scandal – a topic untouched by the pope in his Easter appearances.
PARIS, April 4 (Reuters) – Would-be robbers armed with a pneumatic drill dug a tunnel from a Paris subway station into the basement of a bank in the early hours of Sunday but failed to seize any cash or valuables, police said.
