Urgent! Florida's Solyndra - can you afford it? If not, contact your elected officials.

Dear Patriots,



There’s much controversy swirling around President Obama’s so-called green agenda initiatives—his use of taxpayer monies to push for “green technology” such as the Solyndra solar panel boondoggle and other risky subsidies.

    

Government funded and regulated “green technology” policies promote the UN’s Agenda 21 Project, which claims that human consumption is destroying the environment through overuse of fossil fuels, overuse of electricity and…

CNS News: The Obama Doctrine: Embolden Our Enemies, Undermine Our Allies, Diminish Our Country

Great article and says it all and just like it is.

Finance Committee approves City Council Bill 2012-0070 $75,000 for a Dog Park

Councilmembers in the finance committee voted for Bill Bishop's DOG PARK.

Will Bishop's next bill be to build a monument to himself in the park?

 
This is shameful..........totally shameful, and we need to let our councilmen and women know they have no money to pay for this since all, save one councilman, don't seem to realize how bad things are. This doggy park will be installed on the backs of the unemployed, those who have taken pay cuts, those who are…

Saint Petersblog: Ruling suggests broad redistricting case

Redistricting case before the supreme court.  No maps approved as yet, and the liberal groups are up in arms over the gerry mandered districts (I guess they want them neatly divided into districts.............which our state legislators have said can be done once federal law in applied and the gerry mandered districts are outlined).  So, now, these groups got these horrid fair district laws on the ballot and worked to get them approved by Florida residents who voted for them…

TU: Mayor Alvin Brown's out-of-town choice for budget officer stays in contention with deferral

I don't think they should make an exception here.  They have passed a ruling that said where people have to live to be employed by the city, and I think they must stick to it...............no waiving anything.  Surely, there are enough people in Duval county and the acceptable surrounding areas, we could choose someone who qualifies (and shame on Mayor Brown for choosing someone who isn't within the area he knows they must live).

Be strong and courageous and rise up!

The headline caught my eye:

 

Marines, White House sorry for Quran burnings

 

I read the article where it appears a mistake had been made and some Qurans were burned accidently.  A mob of angry protestors showed up at the military base in Afghanistan to demand retribution for this slap on their…

TU: Duval School Board considers ending troubled pilot program

I am not going to really touch this one except to say, after reading this, you should clearly understand why our public schools are in trouble.  We have to start electing different people to the school board (truly we do).  $471,000 flushed, but these folks seem to think money grows on trees anyway!

 

Former principal ignored Duval policies, officials say.…

TU: Gateway mall developer owes city $585,000 in back taxes

TU: JEA backs pay raise for another employee union; City Council can't stop it

The JEA apparently is going to give someone a raise even if they can't get their pay raise bills through the city council and this group doesn't have to be approved by city council.  I do see at least one really good thing in the proposed contract though as they are moving folks with less time onto a defined benefit retirement plan.  This is a truly poor time for the public sector to be handing out raises to anyone since they earn more than the private sector workers that pay…

Politico: Democratic senators want super PAC crackdown

My first thought when I saw this was that Obama was not happy about super PACS, but when the republicans had them, he realized from a money perspective he would have to use PACS too.  Then, he announced to the country, he was accepting help from super pacs that supported him (his take was under 100,000..............not too good considering republicans are getting millions in support).  So now, since the democrats aren't getting millions, perhaps this is an attempt to make sure…

Forbes: $6 Gas?

Gas at $6.00 a gallon is very likely by summer and to at least $4.00 by spring, and according to this article, current conditions do not support such an increase normally.  Very likely, the president will do nothing or have nothing he can or is willing to do to stop it, because of other conditions that are causing speculation..................and yes, rejecting the keystone pipeline was not a good move.

Oil is…

The Blaze: Rev. Franklin Graham Refuses to Say Obama & Romney Are Christians During Contentious MSNBC Interview

Interesting interview, and the video and article are well worth the read and watch time.  Mr. Graham did a nice job avoiding answering the questions provided!  They are so smug when he talks about Santorum, and try to compare Santorum and Obama...............no comparison from my angle, but the interview is horrid for putting Mr. Graham on the spot for choosing a political position in a way.  Your opinion?

 

Awkward and uncomfortable interviews aren’t…

Our Rally in Tally Experience

Americans for Prosperity Trip to Tally - by Fran Fowler and Sandy Scarborough

 

Tallahassee a beautiful town who's population changes with the "in session" and "out of session" of the legislature. Well, trust me that town had a big change on Wednesday, February 15, 2012. The Patriot T-Party of nine arrived  (good bus driver) - four from the Clay County group.  At this point maybe I should point out Tallahassee may never be the same - but then - neither will…

Big Government: President Obama seeks to end D. C. Voucher Program ---- again

Voucher programs put children in private schools where they might actually get a quality education, and Obama can't stand the thought I don't think.  He wants everyone only taught what he wants them taught and wants absolute control over everyone's child, so they can be pumped full of the socialist propaganda.  I think he truly fears home schoolers and private schools.............

Mychal Massie: I do solemnly swear

Another dynamite commentary by Mychal Massie, and I think most of us would agree with his take!

 

2/19/2012

It would be easy to go on again and describe the president as a rich-hating, race-baiting, tax-raising, corporate hazing, foreign-leaning, forever preening, Windy City Gas-Man, Ken-yan, divisive, abrogating, derisive, abdicating, wealth-stealing, welfare-dealing rebel without a clue. To avoid that temptation is…

Citizens Voice: Congress targets federal workers for savings

Imagine that?   About time I would think, since public sector workers have been exempt from any of the pain associated with horrid economic conditions.  Perhaps by doing this, we can attack the problem of public workers earning far more than their private sector equals.

TU: T-U investigation: Nearly 3 in 4 JTA bus drivers had criminal or driving charges

Larry Hannan, a reporter for the Times Union, has done a wonderful job of investigating the JTA, and highly recommend you read his article. I think what upset me the most, is that now Mr. Hannan has made all this information public, Mr. Blaylock, who earns an unbelievable $273,000 annual pay, has now decided to do his job, but in the mean time, he has fired several people who work for him. From where I sit, Mr. Blaylock was not doing his job even in a small way and should be…

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
