This is not a good idea at all, and as pointed out in the article it has been "abused and misused" in the past.  Also, "the Supreme Court struck down a line item veto law from the Clinton era due to the separation of powers issue".  We have to start holding the congress accountable when they pass laws that are unconstitutional again and again.

Why must every dime recieved be used to hire more union teachers or administrators or more people.  Aren't there other things that would improve the educational experience for these school children?  It just creates a problem when the grant goes away, and there is no money to keep these teachers.  This happens every time and then, the union claims we are cutting their budget when the grant is gone!

Board OKs position to apply grant, work…

More money for education would be a good thing as long as it goes to improve the schools instead of making administrators wallets fatter than they already are!  Usually though, the unions find a way to make it improve the lifestyles of their members.

Hmmm interesting news.  I wonder if this will impact anything besides the guidelines being waived because of a plan put in place?

Our commander is chief has made a change in military funerals, and it is upsetting to those who have noticed.  It, to me, somehow diminishes the worth of these people who gave their lives or years of their lives fighting our wars and helping to keep us free.  This came from one of the members of the Arlington group.

This is total lunacy.  These folks have got to stop spending money period............no matter what it is spent on.  We don't have the money; we can't spend it.

This is totally rediculous, and a congressman from Virginia has written a letter asking this to be reversed.  You can't write and thank him on his web site, because you don't live in his district.  You can, however, go to his facebook page and thank him and he has a comment on his page about this.  I am including the article, and below it is a copy of the letter he wrote.  If you approve, you can go here…

This came from an Arlington Group member, and it seemed like something that should be shared with everyone!

This makes me feel like they CAN do something to counter Obama.  If this gets done, many new jobs will be created!

People tried to warn Romney and Gingrich that their personal warfare was impacting their standing in the polls, but they just refused to stop..............and now Romney has his sights on slamming Santorum.  Let's hope Mr. Santorum pulls a Bush and refuses to play the game.  Bush never did get into mud slinging fights, because he thought it was unpresidential (and it is).  Congratulations and good for you Mr. Santorum!

I don't know how many of you heard about Don Redman's stance on the OWS gathering on the radio, so I thought you might like to see what he was doing.  We need to stop by and say a few words to him if we are downtown or write and thank him!

The councilman sat outside City Hall, but said he wasn't staying overnight.

The rally will be, as pointed out below, Saturday Feb. 18 at 2 PM on both sides of the river at the ferry docks.  Please see second article below by Matt Dixon.

Although this ruling took place in September, it has now been discovered on September 30th, he went to work for Monsanto (who stood to gain from the ruling he made at the beginning of September).  Shameful how crooked everything is now!

This is an update on an ongoing problem with Monsanto (dear friends, and I am sure contributors, to the Obamas and the Clintons) which might explain why they have been closely linked and kept close if not involved in FDA (not a good idea considering, wouldn't you say?).

How does everyone feel about this.  Certainly, I can agree with the argument that charter children should be treated equally to those in the public schools.

Florida school districts are fighting a bill that would require them to share construction dollars with charter schools.

I am confused here, because part of what the mayor ran on was bringing jobs to Jax and now, he is saying he really doesn't have the tools, as a mayor, to do that?  I think we may need to remember he said this.  We also need to be wary if he tries to claim responsibility for any improvement since he doesn't feel the mayor can really impact unemployment.  I know certainly the governor is doing things to improve conditions, so maybe we can thank him in the end?  This is interesting,…

Another reason his highness needs to voted out including the fact he thought he should take over the super bowl last night, because is running for re-election and needed more exposure and his green cars were there with him!  I wonder, did we pay for that or did his re-election campaign?  It is very pricey, so he probably stuck the taxpayers with the bill!

You probably going to be totally blown away when you find out what the man in the oval office actually does..........checks boxes prepared for him and in some cases with a huge amount of guidance as to which box to check if it isn't checked already for him :).  Unreal!

What this means basically, if it is allowed to happen, is someone with a legal expectation of a remedy in their favor, based on the constitution, would get liberal gobbildy goop that has nothing to do with the constitution.  Are we all willing to play games with this next election?  I think not.  Obama has to go period even if we aren't that wild about our choices.........and that can be battle for another day as it surely should.  Liberal judges even on the supreme court would…
