Great, my birthday (Dec 7th) is going to be known as the day America died.
Pearl Harbor Day was bad enough

They’ll do what they can.
“The Awakening” starts in 6 minutes....
Thanks- I’ll use those.
We might need to visit our senators’ offices to (politely) let them know we mean business.
They keep ignoring us on so many issues despite Tea Parties, Town Hall meetings, emails and phone calls.
We need to work together to be very LOUD and CLEAR, between now and December, so that every non-Communist Democrat politico tears the White House doors and windows open, to prevent Obama from signing that treaty.
