We can hope Mr. Schumer will actually not vote in favor or this, and I would say, his letter indicates a negative feeling for this treaty.

Dear Mr. __________

   Thank you for contacting me to express your opposition to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).  I share your concern over investing too much authority in any…

Obama signs Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST) into law via executive order 

This is directly from Agenda 21!…

Interesting bit of news on the LOST treaty which would create another huge United Nations Bureaucracy for us to support.  And for those who might not know or remember, Reagon rejected the LOST treaty saying it did not serve any national interest of the United States.  Let's hope we can make our representatives vote in the same manner Reagon would have!

What's green and blue and grabby all over? President Obama's new pressure campaign for Congress to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST).

The fight over LOST goes back three decades, when it was first rejected by President Ronald Reagan. He warned that "no national interest of the United States could justify handing sovereign control of two-thirds of the Earth's surface over to the Third World." According to top Reagan officials William Clark and Ed Meese, their boss believed the…

Trouble in paradise.  Does this sound like what is happening on a national level to anyone?   As in the president ignoring the congress and trying to manipulate things around using executive orders?  Does to me, but I have taken note to Mayor Brown trying to gain a lot of control over things that would have more or less neutered our city representatives from the start.  Fortunately, our council members also saw the same thing and stopped it from happening at pretty much every…

Actually, not being politically correct is looked at as a number of things, but  I am always in favor of honesty.   I am proud of our governor and the stands he  has taken, and I am glad he doesn't adhere to the politically correct stance of  so many these days.  If it is an issue, it can be talked about.  If one does not  want to have any egg on their face, then I guess they shouldn't go hunting  elephants or playing golf every day either…

A reminder is in order:  In relation to this subject, one should also mention the energy bill that was just passed by our state  representatives with only 4 negative votes (the sane representatives in the  house were Eisnaugle and O'toole who voted  no, and senate members Hays and  Negron who voted no).  The energy bill passed with such a huge majority the  governor could not veto the bill.  The energy bill will increase our utility  bills by large amounts and attract "green…

How can you make a reading test tougher?  At the 3rd grade level, if you are taught how to read, you can read and comprehend pretty much anything written to this age group?   I doubt they are giving them 6th grade stuff, so I guess I wonder if they took the pictures out that the "new reading" method requires?  That would make it tougher to guess what the words are.................   Your thoughts?…

After following the daily TV spots captured by Obama in the name of telling us some things going on in the country (which were nothing more than campaign speaches), the arrogance thing really is an oxymoron, because Obama is nothing if not arrogant.  It seems to be his only talent since we all know he is not capable of fixing anything to do with our country and actually never really intended to................he intended to transform the country into a socialist utopia.......and…

This is our "week without sunshine" issue.  What would we do without something about the courthouse and either spending money or yet another "problem"?   Well here we go and here we are; we need some tests to allow them to open this monster up for business.  Although some of us will probably never see the inside of the place, I am sure all those criminals, judges and attorneys are waiting with bated breath for the big event!                 .............and maybe we should take a…

To understand what the president does and says, it is important to understand the person in the back ground running the circus (and it is a circus).  Valarie Jarrett is the main advisor to both the president and his charming wife and she is pulling the strings on the side show performances by both.  There is a ton more information out there about Ms Jarrett, but these links/stories will give you a pretty good picture of this woman who wields so much power today in our…

This is not good at all.  We have to hope and pray we can stop this from being passed as it has the weight of a constitutional amendment and must be stopped.  You have to go to the link address to watch the video.

Dear Friend,

In this video commentary, I discuss how the Law of the Sea Treaty, which totally erodes our…

How does everyone feel about this?  Certainly it was not unexpected as this going by succession anyway from all appearances.

President, vice president Gulliford both voted into posts without dissent.

Apparently a rather large group (100 people) got together in advance of the city council meeting and everyone got prepped on what to say in favor of this bill. Parts of this bill are really, really awful, including the parts where they removed references to the US Constitution, because it forces people to hire folks who refuse to behave in a manner that will not be offensive to some of private business' customers by cross dressing or not dressing appropriately for the work place.…

These are some of the bills that were passed last night at the city council meeting.  I was pleased to see the NEW 1 hour parking meters just recently put in by city hall will be replaced with 4 hour meters, so people can go to city council functions without running to feed a meter every 50 minutes or so.

An interesting tidbit!   And another hot button issue you may wish to weigh in on.   I must say, as far as the school board goes, this might be a very good thing...............it will get rid of those who have been there more than 2 terms.

The court ruling puts term limits back in place, Laquidara…

Huh?   Apparently, these guys missed the memo about the FCAT writing scores?   You know those scores they lowered instead of deciding to improve.  Are they serious?  They are looking at discipline problems in the schools; how is that going to help the FCAT scores or is the aim to have well behaved non-writing students?…

Well worth the read and assuming as a cause if you don't have enough causes already.  Although Jacksonville, for some reason, insists on obliterating anything historic in our city, many other large cities fight to keep these building and  historic landmarks in good repair and used even if not for the original intent.  Those that run our city, apparently, are unaware of cities such as Savannah, Charleston, New Orleans, and countless other cities that have beautiful cites where old…

This is definitely a hot button issue and one where almost no one has a middle ground.  You either are all in or all out, and I wouldn't have touched this with a 10 foot pole.  Better to have just left it alone, because you can't legislate acceptable to something someone is apposed to and those who accept the lifestyle already accept it.  It is a matter of religion, and it puts our city government in the position of telling some folks what their religious beliefs can be which…
