AP Sez The Hell With The Parents Of Lance Cpl.Bernard

and the SoD Gates.

Robert Gates protests AP decision as 'appalling'Defense Secretary Robert Gates is objecting “in the strongest terms” to an Associated Press decision to transmit a photograph showing a mortally wounded 21-year-old Marine in his final moments of life, calling the decision “appalling” and a breach of “common decency.”

The AP reported that the Marine’s father had asked – in an interview and in a follow-up phone call — that the image, taken by an embedded photographer, not be published.

The AP reported in a story that it decided to make the image public anyway because it “conveys the grimness of war and the sacrifice of young men and women fighting it.”

The AP lost whatever moral compass they had a long time ago and continue in a downward spiral.

Where In The World Is Zack Space?

Now that Zack and Sherrod have completed their search for Bin Laden and have returned to Ohio we still can't find Zack. Makes us equal, Zack didn't find bupt-squat over there and we can't find bupt-squat about Zack. It's strange that both Bin Laden and Zack are pretty hard to find and they both communicate by putting out missives to the faithful through allied press.

Rep. Space returns from Afghanistan, Pakistan trip

Zack has been back a week and he's still unavailable. That type of constituent care is somewhat like the proposed ObamasCare. He's already rationing.

How Many Van Jones Are In Government

The noise in DC is that Truther, communist and only the good Lord knows what else, Van Jones is going, going, gone. Van Jones is not what he seemed. He is not what we were told, but someone who doubles back on actions and words spoken by him prior to becoming a member of this administration that itself is not what it seemed nine months ago.

How many other Van Jones are in this administration and in our Congress?

Let us start with the Auerbach Emanuel brothers, Fish wrap, Dr. Death and Little Hollywood.

Meanwhile, the ass that has dug himself too deep a hole looks to be heading back to his Marxist Leninist roots to continue his work of dividing the country into his vision of the future.

UPDATE:
It appears that the truth has doubled back on Van Jones' double back on being a Truther. Gateway Pundit has it HERE.

Unbelievable! Green Czar Van Jones, Communist, Hip Hop Agent Of Change AND A Truther!

Respected Leaders and Families Launch 9/11 Truth Statement Demanding Deeper Investigation into the Events of 9/11
An alliance of 100 prominent Americans and 40 family members of those killed on 9/11 today announced the release of the 911 Truth Statement, a call for immediate inquiry into evidence that suggests high-level government officials may have deliberately allowed the September 11th attacks to occur. The Statement supports an August 31st Zogby poll that found nearly 50% of New Yorkers believe the government had foreknowledge and "consciously failed to act," with 66% wanting a new 9/11 investigation.

47. Van Jones, executive director, Ella Baker Center for Human Rights

A Truther Czar?... Obama's Green Czar Van Jones Believes Bush Government was Behind 9-11
Barack Obama's communist Green Czar Van Jones is a Truther.He believes the Bush Administration was behind 9-11 and signed the official 9-11 Truth Document demanding a further investigation.

UPDATE: Here's another tidbit from Photosynthesis-- Apparently, Van Jones believes hip-hop holds the key to social change:
The fact that an event like Constant Elevation happened is proof that money is starting to move in the right direction. As Van Jones of the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights said, "This event makes it clear that the path of social change needs to go through youth culture, and therefore it needs to go through hip-hop. Once hip-hop becomes central to social change, the entire game will be changed."


Why should Obama vet his end run on the Constitution "czars" when the voters and the press chose not to vet him as a candidate?

Zach Space Insults Constituents With Vulgarity And Lies

via Weapons of Mass Discussion

The Democrats have not only lost the debate on their "health care reform", but they have lost control of their members. Zach Space now uses a sexual vulgarity to describe his constituents and tries to spin one event into a "town hall" to make it appear that he is addressing the needs of the voters in his district.

Release:
Zanesville - Congressman Zack Space may soon regret an offhand comment he made in a provocative statement on September 2nd concerning a local activist.

On Wednesday, Thornville resident David Daubenmire was on Fox News channel's "America's Newsroom" with Megyn Kelly. Daubenmire is a local football coach at Fairfield Christian Academy. He has been sleeping on the sidewalk outside Democrat Representative Zack Space's office in protest of the Congressman's refusal to hold a town hall meeting for his constituents in southeast Ohio.

In the interview with Daubenmire, Fox News' Megyn Kelly read the following statement which came from Rep. Zack Space's office

Coach doesn't comprehend reality. The rain or fatigue must be getting to Mr. Daubenmire. There was a town hall meeting yesterday five blocks from where he is setting up camp featuring Secretary of Energy Tom Vilsack, Senator Brown and Congressman Space. It had been publicized for days by all offices. If it was "secretive," then more than 300 people found out the secret, including a number of Mr. Daubenmire's teabagger colleagues who were there and talked to the Congressman.

"Local small business owner Darin Hill took offense to Space's remarks.

"The unmitigated gall of Mr. Space's comments is shameful," says Darin Hill, owner of Hillsway Ag and Turf in Gratiot, Ohio. "Those words are disrespectful, condescending, and more than that, they're dishonest. Mr. Space is completely misrepresenting the event. The meeting with Secretary Vilsack was not billed as a town hall. It was explicitly addressing the concerns of farmers and our district's agricultural industry. If Representative Space hosted a true town hall, a lot more than 300 people would have shown up.

"Although Space's office claims that they announced the event beforehand, the event wasn't promoted as a town hall nor was it widely known that the Congressman would be in attendance at the event. But Mr. Hill is more concerned about the insult.

"I don't feel comfortable with my Congressman using sexually perverse terms like teabagging. He shouldn't be talking that way to constituents," continues Hill. "If Zack Space needs a history lesson on taxation without representation and the Boston Tea Party, I'd be happy to enlighten him. There's nothing perverse about an American citizen questioning his government.

"Darin Hill has no affiliation with Daubenmire or Fairfield Christian Academy, but he plans to be at Daubenmire's rally on the Zanesville courthouse steps on Thursday at 6 PM.

How low can Zach go? Obviously not low enough to see the coal his district depends on for their livelihood when he voted for Cap and Trade which is a purposeful stab in the backs of his constituents.

Zach is not a Blue Dog, he's a green dog being led around on a leash by his masters in Washington, DC. How many more times will they tell him to bite the hands of his voters?

Dem Votes To Raise Booze Tax Then Skips Across Border To Avoid Booze Tax

via Jules Crittenden

Having made the run from Cape Cod to a sister's house in New Hampshire, I can attest that the liquor store parking lots, just across the border in NH, are filled with Massachusetts cars. Taxachusetts people don't like to pay the tax. Not even the jerks that vote for it.

Pol nabbed on New Hampshire booze run
A Westport lawmaker who voted to hike the state sales and alcohol taxes was spotted brazenly piling booze in his car - adorned with his State House license plate - in the parking lot of a tax-free New Hampshire liquor store, the Herald has learned.

Michael J. Rodrigues’ blue Ford Crown Victoria, emblazoned with his “House 29” Massachusetts license plate, was parked outside a Granite State liquor store on Interstate-95 South over the weekend, according to a witness who provided pictures to the Herald.

The witness, who requested anonymity, claimed he approached Rodrigues, noted his State House plate, and asked if he was on personal or official business. Rodrigues, who was loading booze into his car, snapped “mind your own business,” the witness said.

Unfortunately, it is our business when public officials vote one way and do another.

Look Here-Look There - Taxes, Government Intrusion Everywhere

Forget ObamasCare and Cap And Trade filled with new taxes, hidden taxes, fee and more. Look at your state, county and local taxes, fees and hidden costs for this and that. According to supporters all these cost increases are necessary. That's BS.

Government is fat, bloated and intruding in every corner of our life to feed itself and they have the audacity to preen that it is for our own good. Food, gas, sins, soap, trash, construction, licenses, heat, medicine, water, sewage, new cars, old cars, pets, education, business, charity, free speech and every other thing you need or want is being regulated, taxed and fee'd to death.

Below is a quick search, but feel free to add what you find. Next time something, anything costs more, figure out why.

Liberal Carrion Feed On Kennedy

This is getting like The Jerry Springer Show, only in Congress. Well, I guess that isn't too much of a stretch.

REID SHOCK: KENNEDY DEATH 'GOING TO HELP US'

Politicians using death to pass yet another unconstitutional bill
Nancy Pelosi’s office reportedly sent an email to reporters at around 2:30 a.m. on August 26 just hours after Senator Kennedy’s death.

“Ted Kennedy’s dream of quality health care for all Americans will be made real this year because of his leadership and his inspiration.”

South Carolina Rep. and house majority whip James Clyburn also issued a statement
“As we move forward with health reform legislation, his absence will be palpable. But let us use his inspirational words as our guide, to rise to our best ideals and finally provide decent quality health care to all Americans as a fundamental right, not a privilege.”


Al Gore said “Ted would want nothing more than for his colleagues to continue his life’s work and to make real his dream of quality health care for all Americans.”

The alleged former grand wizard of the kkk Senator Robert Byrd said

“In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American.”

If You Like Government Controlled Health Care Get Ready For Government Controlled Yard Sales


The ever growing federal government thirsts for more control over every aspect of your life. It is, afterall, your tax dollars they are spending to protect you from yourself.

Seller, beware: Feds cracking down on secondhand sales of some products
The crackdown affects sellers ranging from major thrift-store operators such as Goodwill and the Salvation Army to everyday Americans cleaning out their attics for yard sales, church bazaars or - increasingly - digital hawking on eBay, Craigslist and other Web sites.

Secondhand sellers now must keep abreast of recalls for thousands of products, some of them stretching back more than a decade, to stay within the bounds of the law.

Staffers for the federal agency are fanning out across the country to conduct training seminars on the regulations at dozens of thrift shops.

I wonder if my Tonka trucks, Zorro sword and Flexible Flyer sled would be illegal to sell now?

Rep. Jan Schakowski's Hired Guns Censor Opponents of Health Care "Reform"

via Gateway Pundit

“The President is only kidding himself if he thinks Americans can’t see what’s coming,” said CPR Chairman Rick Scott. “When Democrats like Barney Frank and Jan Schakowsky admit on tape that the public option will lead to a full blown government takeover of the system, it’s time to drop the charade - or better yet, drop the public option from the bill.”

It is interesting that HCAN has had a hand in framing the legislation and is now trying to control the dialogue.

From Ft Hard Knox

I have read the “lefty” blogs and the propaganda put out by the Administration. I have read how the Health Care Bill has been “written” or “influenced” by such organizations as Health Care for America Now (HCAN),MoveOn.Org, SEIU, Democracy For America. AFSCME, Annenberg Public Policy Center. I have read that George Soros is throwing money into this fight and trying to buy support (someone has to be paying for all those “grassroots” protestors). Soros is a greedy, greedy man who has never done anything without a plan for him to gain more money and more power. He actually feels this current bill is not enough of a move to a “single payer” system, but is supporting it as a stepping stone. He sees the end result, so why don’t freedom loving Americans?

Funny how Socialist George Soros and unions keep showing up, eh?

Disposable Jews


Now that many on the left feel that Israel is creating the new holocaust, which is a horrifying lie, a reminder of entire communities that were murdered simply for being Jewish. The concentration camps are vivid in their cruelty, but there was also the personal execution, carried out in front of each other, of entire town populations of Jews. Though not as crudely as the socialist Nazis, there are those today, in America, that believe that once again that Jews are disposable.

The Last Jew in Vinnitsa [Ukraine, 1941]… This was found in the personal album of an Einsatzguppen soldier. It was labelled on the back “The last Jew of Vinnitsa”. All 28,000 of the Jews living there were killed at the time….
I believe that some Americans feel this way because they are more socialist than human.

The oldest known color photograph: 1872


(click to enlarge)
Before the Autochrome process was perfected in France, this photograph of a landscape in Southern France was taken. No, it is not hand-tinted. This is a color-photograph. (Note: It was published in a Time/Life Book entitled "Color" in 1972, "courtesey of George Eastman House, Paulus Lesser.") You are looking at the birth of color photography seven years after the American Civil War. 130 years ago this view of Angouleme, France, was created by a "subtractive" method. This is the basis for all color photography, even today. It was taken by Louis Ducos du Hauron who proposed the method in 1869. It was not until the 1930's that this method was perfected for commercial use.

Health Care Reform May Be Irreparably Damaged

GORE: Country has 'moral duty' to pass health care reform...

and for approx $50K per, he will tell why there is a "moral duty", complete with phony slides, films and spooky lights to highlight him. aLgore has a lot of moral duty he wants to shove down people's throats.

Clinton: Not passing bill 'worst thing we can do for Democrats'...

But it would be the best thing for America, so, Bill, your point is....?

Zack Space Continues To Hide From Mere Voters, But Has Time For Big Donors/DC Elite/Afghanistan


My wife, daughter and I decided to take a Sunday drive to do some photography. After a really great afternoon we decided to stop at the Ye Olde Mill, the Velvet ice cream museum and restaurant, to get a treat (I highly recommend this).

While there I picked up a copy of The Utica Herald and saw an interesting article. An article that probably won't appear in the MSM.

[text, article]
Congressman Zack Space Refuses to Meet with Local Constituents After Tea Party

Coach Dave Daubenmire of "Pass the Salt Ministries" and a handful of dedicated citizens drove across three counties last night in an attempt to secure a face to face meeting with their Congressman. When finally located, Congressman Space refused to speak to this small, but hearty group.

Over a hundred protesters endured the rain on Wednesday afternoon to attend a Tea Party in order to exercise their right of "Freedom of Speech." There were protesters from at least 5 counties in the district: Licking. Muskingum, Knox, Coshocton and Tuscarawas. There was also a petition passed around to collect signatures that urge Space to vote "NO" on the "unconstitutional" health care bill. There was a vaiety of speakers there to represent people from both parties and Independents. All spoke about the government over stepping the Constitution. "They think the Bill of Rights are privileges they give us, but in reality they are limits that we place on them" speaker Beau Bromberg said.

After the 4 pm Tea-Party outside of Congressman Space's Zanesville, Ohio office, Coach Daubenmire and his crew drove the hour to a private location where Congressman Space was holding a "fundraiser." A local Knox County Deputy stood guard at the house to prevent the group from attending the meeting.

The group appealed to Congressman Space or any one of his handlers to please come out and speak with them. The gol of the group was to schedule a "town hall meeting" for a later date where Congressman Space could look into the eyes of those he represents.

For three hours, the group waited for someone from the Congressman's office to speak with. Instead of responding to the group's civil request, Congressman Space snuck out or the residence under the cover of darkness.

From Knox County, Ohio:

Space declined to address media
Rep. Zack Space sent word through a sheriff’s deputy at a fundraiser he attended Wednesday night that he would address citizens’ concerns but not in the presence of news media outlets.

Less than a dozen constituents from Space’s 18th District traveled from as far away as Muskingum County, hoping to catch the congressman as he left the home of Linda and Peter Michaels on New Gambier Road.

Space had been the featured guest at a campaign fundraiser for the Knox County Democratic Women’s Club, a private event where a Knox County Sheriff’s Deputy stood guard at the end of the driveway to keep out uninvited guests.

A group gathered along the roadside with a Fox News cameraman and reporters who were hoping for an opportunity to meet with Space.

Just after the event, at least two attendees hurled insults as they exited Michaels’ driveway, one an attorney and former village councilman from Gambier who gave a middle finger to those standing by. Others stopped to hold conversations or left politely.

Bob Denny, an advertising sales representative from Baltimore, traveled from a gathering at Space’s Zanesville office with a group of friends. He said he’s troubled that Space has refused to hold a town-hall style meeting with constituents.

“People want to talk to him face to face. They want to read his body language, look him in the eye and they want to see truth,” said Denny. “There are 535 people in Washington controlling 300 million plus and they’re not listening to the majority.”

On the other side was Ada Jacobs, whose husband knew Space from his days as a student at Kenyon College. She attended the fundraiser and said Space had made the decision to meet with smaller groups because he felt they’d be more effective than town hall meetings.

“This was announced to many people, and they had the opportunity to come,” she said.

However, Linda Michaels told radio station WMVO in a telephone call on Monday that event was private, despite an invitation on a public portion the Knox County Democratic Party’s website.

Jacobs said Space answered a myriad of questions on current health care reform proposals, but declined to speak about portions of the bill he was unfamiliar with, like nonprofit co-ops.

“He didn’t play games,” she said. “He said he needed to do some more research.”

Others, like Coach Dave Daubenmire, weren’t happy to learn that Space wouldn’t meet in the presence of reporters. The well-known religious commentator and demonstrator said he was turned away at the door earlier in the evening, but was told by a sheriff’s deputy that he could come back to meet with the congressman.

“I’d like to have a conversation with Zack Space out here for all the world to see – not go back and hide in some room and let him come out and tell a different story…” he said. “I’ve called his office four times and he would not return my call.”

Space has been under increasing pressure recently following his vote against an amendment prohibiting illegal aliens from receiving health benefits. Space introduced his own amendment a short time later which he said was binding, but critics say it lacks language that would require proof of citizenship.

Calls to Space’s Zanesville office have gone unanswered.

But Space has time to travel 50 mile outside of the district to a fundraiser in Bexley, Ohio with DC bigwigs:

Space fundraiser to feature U.S. agriculture secretary
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsak will headline a fundraiser next Sunday in Bexley for Democratic U.S. Rep. Zack Space of Dover.

The evening event will be held in the home of David Wilhelm, former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and manager of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign. Wilhelm's home is outside of Space's 18th Congressional District.

Those attending the Space fundraiser in Bexley are being asked to contribute at one of four levels ranging from $250 to $2,400.

Group to petition Space for town hall meeting on health care
And in Zanesville, Ohio, small businessmen demanded the same from Congressman Zack Space where, according to one activist-businessman, “his August schedule was set months ago. Mr. Space apparently can’t set aside a single day to meet with us.”

Apparently, Congressman Space feels safer in Afghanistan than in his Ohio district.

Brown, Space visit Afghanistan

Maybe not, since the US has given Afghanistan the right to be free, maybe they'll ask some questions he wants to avoid.

Beat Navy, But Support Navy!

via Bizzy Blog. This is a great idea and we all should support it. (Both of you, get to it)

Take the Field Tribute—Ohio State Buckeyes vs. the Navy Midshipmen:
With less than two weeks before the Navy Midshipmen come to town to open the 2009 college football season, there is something other than the game, players, coaches, and match-ups that I'd like to share with you all.

I have a friend of mine whose daughter was very close to a classmate of hers. He signed up for the Army right after high school and he ultimately found himself in Iraq. On August 4th, 2009 he lost his life, fighting for our country and for our freedoms. He was just 19 years old.

So please, in 12 days when Navy comes to Columbus, please support this great idea and welcome them into Ohio Stadium.

Please spread the word and send this to all the Buckeye fans you know.

Of course, we can still root for an OSU victory, but there are bigger things in life than football.
Supporting the men and women of our Armed Forces is one of them.

Please, whatever you do, don't boo Navy. Instead, treat them as you treat our Buckeyes.

Thank you!

Kennedy: "Heard Any Good Jokes About Chappaqquidick?"

After Kennedy's death, Ed Klein, an editor for New York Times Magazine and an author of several books about the Kennedy family, stated that one of Kennedy's "favorite topics of humor was indeed Chappaquiddick itself. And he would ask people, 'have you heard any new jokes about Chappaquiddick?'" Klein also said, "It’s not that he didn’t feel remorse about the death of Mary Jo Kopechne, but that he still always saw the other side of everything and the ridiculous side of things, too."

It is always good to have a sense of the irony of life. Unless it was your sister or daughter who was murdered and left in the cold water for fish to feed on.

Stop The ACLU has more on that famous Kennedy hilarity about murdering a young woman who he was trying to seduce.

Unions Get Car Corps, Fed Bank Slots & Now Soros Gets $2B For Offshore Drilling Payola

Obama thinks so much of America he won't allow offshore oil drilling here. He thinks so little of Brazil he loaned them $2B to drill for oil off their shore.

I am sure that it is just a coincidence that George Soros owns most of Petrobras, the company that Brazil has hired to do the offshore drilling. I mean if Obama would pay his biggest supporter $2B for that support, he might just give away car companies to other supporters, banks to still others and our private health care to somebody else, say, David Axelrod.

The people that say these horrible things about our Dear Leader will probably start false rumors about the fine people supporting his divine health care reform.

Jeez. People might start believing that Obama and cronies aren't that honest and that this is just payola for their campaign work and astroturfing for Obama's legislation.

Now, who would believe something like that?

Stagecraft And Thuggery To Push KennedyObamasCare

An email

This is from a Bozeman resident that weknow!!! This country is in suchbig trouble. . .. .

Hello All,
By now you have probably heard that President Obama came to Montana last Friday.However, there are many things that the major news has not covered. I feel that since we live here and we were atthe airport on Friday I should share some facts with you. Whatever you decide to do with the information isup to you. If you chose to share this email with others I do ask that you DELETE my email address before you forward thison.

On Wednesday, August 5th it was announced locally that the President would becoming here. There are many groups here that are against his healthcare and huge spending so those groups began talkingand deciding on what they were going to do. The White House would not release ANY details other than thedate.

On about Tuesday we found out that they would be holding the "TownHall" at the airport. Our airport is actually located outside of Belgrade (tiny town) in a veryremote location. Nothing is around there. They chose to use a hangar that is the most remotely located hangar. You could not pick a more remote location, and you can not get to it easily. It is totally secluded from thepublic.

FYI: We have many areas in Belgrade and Bozeman which could have held a large amount offolks with sufficient parking. (gymnasiums/auditoriums). All of which have chairs and tables, and would not have to beSHIPPED IN!! $$$$$

During the week, cargo by the TONS was being shipped inconstantly. Airport employees could not believe how it just kept coming. Though it was our President coming severalexpressed how excessive it was, especially during a recession. $$$$$

Late Tuesday/earlyWednesday the 12th, they said that tickets would be handed out on Thursday 9am at two locations and thepresident would be arriving around 12:30 Friday.Thursday morning about 600 tickets were passed out. However, 1500 were printed at a Localprinting shop per White House request. Hmmmm......900 tickets just DISAPPEARED.

This same morning someone called into the radio from the local UPS branch and said that THOUSANDS of Dollars of Lobster were shipped in for Obama. Montana has some of the best beef in the nation!!! And it would have been really wonderful to helpout the local economy. Anyone heard of the Recession?? Just think...with all of the traveling the White House is doing. $$$$$ One can only imagine what else we are paying for.

On Friday we got out to the airport about 10:45am. The groups that wanted to protest Obama's spending and healthcare had gotten a permit to protest and that area was roped off. But that was not to be. A large bus carrying SEIU (Service Employees International Union) members drove up onto the area(illegal)and unloaded right there. It was quite a commotion and there were specifically 2 SEIU men trying to maketrouble and start a fight. Police did get involved and arrested the one man but they said they did not have the manpower to remove the SEIU crowd.\

The SEIU crowd was very organized and young. About 99% were under the age of 30 andthey were not locals! They had bullhorns and PROFESSIONALLY made signs. Some even wore preprinted T-shirts. Oh, and Planned Parenthood folks were with them.....professing abortion rights with their T-shirts and preprinted signs. (BTW, all these folks did have a permit to protest in ANOTHER area)

Those against healthcare/spending moved away from the SEIU crowd to avoid confrontation. They were orderly and respectful. Even though SEIU kept coming over andwalking through, continuing to be very intimidating and aggressive at the direction of the one SEIU man.

So we had Montana folks from ALL OVER the state with their homemade signs and theirDOGS with homemade signs. We had cowboys, nurses, doctors you name it. There was even a guy from Texas who had beendriving through. He found out about the occasion, went to the store, made a sign, and came toprotest.

If you are wondering about the press.....Well, all of the major networks were over by that remote hangar I mentioned. They were conveniently parked on the other side of the buildings FAR away. None of these crowds were even visible to them. I have my doubts that they knew anything about thecrowds. We did have some local news media around us from this state and Idaho.Speaking of the local media...they were invited. However, all questions were to be turned into the White House in advance of the event. Wouldn't want anyone to have to think off the top of their head.

It was very obvious that it was meant to be totally controlled by the White House. Everything was orchestrated down tothe last detail to make it appear that Montana is just crazy for Obama and government healthcare. Even those people that talked about their insurance woes........the White House called our local HRDC (Human Resource and Development Committee) and asked for names. Then the White House asked those folks to come. Smoke and mirrors...EVERYTHING was staged!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very dismayed about what I learned about our current White House. The amount of control and manipulation was unbelievable. I felt I was not living in the United States of America, more like the USSR!! I was physically nauseous. We have been around when Presidents or Heads of State visit. It has NEVER been like this. I am truly very frightened for our country. America needs your prayers and your voices. If you care about our country please get involved. Know the issues. And let Congress hear your voices again and again!! If they are willing to put forth so much effort to BULLY a small town one can only imagine what is going on in Washington DC.

Scary!!

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson
