This is a crucial week. Keep calling your reps ,folks. Tell them how you feel about the healthcare bill. After doing so..continue to pray.
Run, run..fast. LOL
Shhhhhh! I'm not here.
Low battery, power outage. Announcement will have to wait.
Yeah, right, Drama Queen...;-))
Yeah, well, you know how us preggers wommin are. We're just prone to emotional starts and fits.
>> You havent let us know whether you were successful or not.
I most certainly did...on the other sites at FR I did as well.
It’s been I think 4 yrs now without a puff, but I did gain weight in the gut almost instantly - the nicotine suppresses the sweet tooth and when it’s gone - candy looks real good.
Did you see the Stossel show on Cleveland?
I’m sorry. I missed it. Please forgive me.
I saw a teeny part of it. He named it the worse city??
That bread looks soooo good. I have such a weakness for breads.
Congratulations!
Do you still have a fish tank?
Good morning. Bread is my weakness, too. I’ll take good bread and butter over sweets..anyday.
The big presentation week before last went well. Unfortunately, as is usually the case, there were a bunch of new tasks added to my already overloaded schedule. On the other hand, it is stuff that I like to do, so it's all good. Of course, it's on Orion , which, as you know, Caligula frantically wants to cancel so as to destroy America's magnificent manned space exploration program. Since I was a boy, it was always my goal to be involved in manned space exploration, and I finally get to work on the vehicle that will carry America's astronauts to the ISS, the moon, and eventually to Mars, where now we know that water exists in vast quantities, man can survive indefinitely, colonize, and start a new government where people can once again truly govern themselves. I would rather live in freedom in an environmental enclosure on Mars than under Caligula and his Marxism on Earth.
The Tuesday night caucus went really well. There were 150-200 representing some 20 precincts. I had 7 including myself from my precinct. All of them had been to the caucus in 2008. The straw poll vote for U.S. Senator went 4 for Gale Norton, and 3 for Ken Buck. I voted for Buck. Gale Norton was nominated by McCain is why I am for Buck. Mrs. Norton won the statewide straw poll, but I forgot the %ages. For CO governor, Scott McInnis won over Dan Maes. I voted for Maes. McInnis has name recog because he was in the U.S. H.R. for a few years. I like him, but I have met Maes and I like him better. I have also met McInnis at the breakfast where he asked me to work as a volunteer for him because of my enthusiasm, especially when he found out that I have so much drive that I get up at 2 am. What he didn't know, is that I am driven to get Hussein constitutionally removed from office. he saw me talking to people at my table at the breakfast one time and I was being very animated when he came over. He also came to our caucus Tuesday , introduced himself, and met and talked to each and every person in the room before he left to go to another caucus location.
I introduced 2 resolutions at the end of the caucus and we voted for them in my precinct. The first was to repeal the Seventeenth Amendment to the U. S. Constitution. It went down in flames 1 Aye, 6 Nays. I will fight another day for that one. Here is the other one. It passed with a vote of 6 Ayes, 0 Nays, 1 Undecided:
"Resolution Be it resolved that pursuant to Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution, in particular for consideration of high crimes due to massive government takeovers he has comandeered, enumerated as automobile company takeovers, limiting salaries of company executives, takeovers of financial institutions, and a massive takeover of one fifth of the United States economy in the healthcare industry, be it resolved that An article of Impeachment against Barak Hussein Obama for Abuse of Power be introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives and on a majority vote be remanded over to the U.S. Senate for trial with a two-thirds vote of the members present resulting in removal from office. "
It will be presented to the State Assembly later this spring! Woo Hoo!
Then I'm going to try and discern who the targeted undecideds are and make more calls. Also going to contribute to the main switchboard meltdowns.
BTW, Ace of Spade's Whip count closely follows FireDogLake's.
Prayers continue for the Republic. I read something yesterday that said "For a Christian, despair is a vice."
I'm trying to remember that.
I'm so bad.
I'm proud of you.
Wonderful and good morning.
In 34 months, America will be gone.
It has already been lost but we can’t admit it.
You have no idea how timely your words are.
Caligula's economy has had a major effect on our support. We are funded by those who want to have a part in the Bible translation work on this island. But January and February were very devastating to us because some who have been partnering with us just could not maintain the same level of giving.
Therefore, I will be returning to the states in April sometime after Easter to work on developing more financial partners. Hubby will continue at the school and return in June. It is my prayer that we'll be fully funded again by the 15th of July (so paperwork will have time to clear) and we'll be able to return to Papua to continue our work in mid-August.
This is in the midst of me becoming more involved in the support work here. Just this week I helped check new publications. I've been chairing some key committees. I have developed some close relationships with the middle schoolers. Hubby keeps plugging along at his job. He is not glamourous but he is consistent, steady and very, very good at what he does. It is painful to have to extricate ourselves at this time.
Through it all, God is sovereign in what in we're going through.
