Parents
About a year and a half ago, I wrote a small book for parents and grandparents. It was a story written by a 68 year old grandmother that was written for two basic reasons, (1) Bring Parenthood back into style, and (2) Expose the meddlers (special interest groups, lobbyists and pork barrel pigs), the peddlers (Liberal news media) and the Government.
So today 7days before the Presidential Election, I took it off my old history shelf and thought I’d share one small chapter with America. As you’re reading this, remember the American Dream – don’t sell the dream for a few idle promises and the Obama philosophy.
One question that keeps running through my mind is, “what were we doing and thinking while they (I’m using this term ambiguously) started chiseling away at our Nation’s foundation.” Excuse the english pun, but none of us know for sure who "they" really are...
Their intent was to destroy the once strong family unit and they haven’t succeeded – in fact they’ve bitten the “hand that feeds them.” They forgot that those playing with fire will sooner or later get burned – America’s parents are resilient and frankly have had enough.
Families have been put threw the ringer the past 60 years as we experienced and practiced the new child psychology theory, the women’s movement and the unrestricted world that the “baby boomers” advocated, which included materialism.
Our country went from “One Nation Under God” to a Heinz mix that advocated and condoned materialism and freedom of “self.”
Yes, we bought into this newfound freedom and enjoyed a few years of unrestricted, undisciplined living, but now we’re at the crossroads and parents are down to two choices; (1) Restore our Nation morally and spiritually or, (2) Let the meddlers and peddlers take over ownership of our Nation.
Obama and gang are just waiting to pounce on Americans, their children and their country. We're on the verge of going from a Democracy to Obamanism. Americans "Socialism" isn't a neat little jaunt in the park or hot apple pie & ice cream - it
is all about spreading the wealth.
Blame isn’t the answer and won’t solve our problems! Parents can consider taking the first giant step of restoration by choosing the right leaders for our country.
Before the election, our Presidential Elects needs to step forward with “real solutions for real problems.” In plain english, we want to know in detail how they plan on solving America's dilema. This time patches, quick fixes and band aids aren't feasible solutions.
John McCain and Sarah Palin aren't the "home health aid" squad - nope they're the surgeons that don't believe in "quick fixes."
The American people don’t need more taxation and false promises – parents, grandparents and concerned citizens want a strong honest government that can actually correct the run away problems of oil, health insurance, education and a weak economy that went south a long time ago.
We've got our work cut out for us because during the past 60 years many of us have turned our heads and been content to blame our government, the meddlers and peddlers. It's unfair to expect John and Sarah to fix everything via the government - we the people must promise to do our part.
Individually we can take back our rights, roles and responsibilities and build strong family units again! We can't continue being passive and blame someone for our children’s promiscuous way.
Glenn Beck on CNN has absolutely hit the nail on the head - as individuals we must step forward and make a conscious decision of what road we wish to take during the next 4 years.
We need to make a moral and spiritual stand for our children and our country. All citizens should consider returning to an old fashioned idea of budgeting – our uncontrolled spending via plastic needs to stop immediately.
We can’t restore our Nation or our families at this time, because we want what we want, when we want it. Just getting a handle on the spending frenzy will be the beginning of a great new era for each and every family!
The peddlers (news media) need to join hands with us and help us build a strong nation again – citizens are tired of the “trickle down news” that is laced with propaganda and a large dose of bias tossed in..
.
We’re capable of making good decisions and tired of being treated like a bunch of preprogrammed robots. For now let’s revisit where America has been tramping around the past 60 plus years.
Let’s trek back to the 40’s when teachers were faced with minor disciplinary problems such as talking loudly during class, chewing gum, running in the hallways etc.
Now teachers must cope with rape, robbery, assault, drug and alcohol abuse and at times murder. So what happened between than and now? Why have teachers and school administrators been a helpless target without any real support from our Nation?
I say this because our US children’s education ranks quite low compared to some other countries. We talk a good talk, but that’s all it is – just idle gossip. Our public schools are in a world of hurt and we’re ignoring their cries for help and parental support.
It’s almost like our public schools have turned into baby sitting institutions where we expect teachers to teach if they have time, but lord forbid if they should discipline our kids.
Here’s a news alert, many awesome and dedicated teachers have received our message and many have stepped down from their teaching positions and others (not qualified to teach) have stepped in as replacements!
Remember when it was decided that teachers should be the ones to teach our kids sex education and at the same time the elementary schools were telling our kids that, “It’s alright for Johnnie to have two daddies or mommies – my little grandson came home from school one day and discussed this new philosophy.
So, grandma tell me why Johnnie has to have two daddies, where’d his Mommy go? Boy, grandma couldn't come up with any good explanations for that question - so I told my grandson what I believed in my heart and why I believed certain things to be true!
Along the way, many Americans have adopted the attitude that anything goes in our country because we’re in the land of the free. So it’s easy to understand why morality and spirituality has taken one hit after the other.
We try so hard not to offend anyone and in the meantime our true identity is being lost in the modern mix. It’s difficult to admit that our complacency and busy life styles kept us totally off guard, but whatever the reason – we certainly were too preoccupied in our own little world!
Although, parents didn’t always agree with the changes taking place in our schools and society; they didn’t disagree with enough intensity to stop the meddlers.
Was prayer really removed from schools because of a few over zealous teachers and parents or was it's removal spawned by those special interest groups that I refer to as the meddlers?
At the same time we experienced hoop la about the Ten Commandments and we were told that they needed to go too! So gradually with the help of a handful of bored cantankerous people, parents are the ones controlled – not the ones in control.
Over a span of many years we have experienced numerous alterations in our society, especially our social environment. Some of the changes are good, but others aren’t morally or spiritually acceptable. Progress isn’t progress in the USA – when the family unit is weakened. It’s regression!
Due to our materialistic binge and newborn freedom of "self," we've treaded into no man's land and we're stuck in the mire!.
As I mentioned earlier our credit card debt alone is enough to confirm that many have lost their ability to budget, let alone save any of their hard earned money.
Materialism is ruthlessly devouring our children and our country; it has become the dominant stimuli that keeps everyone scrambling and out of balance.
If materialism is the status symbol of a man or woman’s true worth, than our accumulation of “things” must represent who we really are…
When our worth is monitored in dollars and cents, or the degree of fame and fortune achieved – we’ve truly bounced right off the Richter scale.
So my question is, “why are we wasting our time collecting treasures that we can’t take with us at the end of life?
Many have tread the narrow materialistic path only to find out in the last few hours here on “Mother Earth,” that they wasted a lifetime spinning their wheels in the search for peace of mind and happiness.
This is just an observation that I’ve made from my hospice experiences; believe me in those last final hours the one making his or her final journey isn’t sitting there counting their worldly possessions one by one!
The materialistic struggle is dangerous because its one of compromise – in order to be a participant we must sacrifice “self.”
No doubt materialism boosts the weak ego and serves as a powerful message for those in search of false “Gods.”
But what about our heart and soul – do we really think being a worshipper of materiality is going to bring us eternal peace of mind and happiness?
How did we arrive in this precarious position - could the reason be our desire to give our children a better life? The question here is what is "a better life?"
Many of us chose a lifestyle that forced us to jump on the fast track in search of a better life for ourselves and our children. We had a burning fear of being left behind!
While we spent years trying to keep up with the “Joneses” - our children were sort of raising themselves and about the same time, we started hashing around the problems that our ‘latch key” kids were experiencing.
Shortly thereafter we were hearing about teen pregnancies and serious problems in our schools, but few of us really took the time to figure out where we’d gone astray. It was much easier to place all the blame on "they!"
Don’t assume that I’m pointing my finger in a better than thou attitude – nope, I was one of the baby boomers and I’ve been there and done all of the above!
I’m hoping that as a Nation, we can address some of these problems and restore our countries’ foundation and I'm here to help all of you.
Our children don’t need more gifts – they need us minding the home front and keeping our families safe. To all of the meddlers and peddlers – get a life, do something constructive or just flat “Get Out Of Dodge.” Our Country needs the two mavericks on November 4, 2008. http://www.yourannie.com

Do you see what I see? Below you can read actual bills that the Obama God voted “No” on, all of his voting record pretty much discredits the rhetoric in his debates and campaigns.
Barack Obama’s promises to America are nothing but idle promises to lure votes from parents, children, grandparents, seniors and the middleclass.
What you will read is etched in stone; this is not propaganda nor is it information dripping with bias – this is the truth!
Vote 192: S 1348: Sessions Amdt. No. 1234; To save American taxpayers up to $24 billion in the 10 years after passage of this Act, by preventing the earned income tax credit, which is, according to the Congressional Research Service, the largest anti-poverty entitlement program of the Federal Government, from being claimed by Y temporary workers or illegal aliens given status by this Act until they adjust to legal permanent resident status.
Now, do you believe he’s interested in protecting you, your money and children?
Yep, he was one of 14 Democrats that voted against protecting our military and sending them additional funding in Afghanistan and Iraq. In the same bill, Obama voted against:
Seventeen billion dollars in the package is for domestic spending. Out of this funding, $6.4 billion is for Gulf Coast hurricane relief efforts, $3 billion in emergency aid for farmers, $1 billion to upgrade port and mass transit security, $3 billion towards converting closing U.S. military bases to other uses, and $650 million to increase funding for children’s health care. A Congressional Research Service summary states that the “other domestic beneficiaries include state HIV grant programs, mine safety research, youth violence prevention activities, and pandemic flu protection.”
Now is this a man who really cares about those on the Gulf Coast who need extra relief? What about our farmers – well the Obama God really doesn’t care much for small businesses or farmers.
Isn’t this the same man who talked out the other side of his mouth about a better health care plan – so what about our children Obama?
Same man was against getting a handle on the “Piggy bank” and controlling earmarks.
Remember all the gibberish about tax breaks for 95 % of the people under the $250,000 income bracket. Well, first of all keep in mind the over 40% of our population don’t pay income tax. Anyway, here’s another big “No” on the bill to protect us from a tax increase.
3/23/07 Vote 107: S CON RES 21: Graham Amdt. No. 478; To extend the 35, 33, 28, and 25 percent income tax rate structure and protect nearly 28,000,000 families and individuals, including small business owners, from having their tax rates increase to 39.6, 36, 31, or 28 percent.
He doesn’t have to be the one to tax you – he knows your taxes will skyrocket without him raising a finger. Is this really the kind of man you want to lead this country out of this recession?
Enough of this, if the middle class is interested in seeing what your next four years will look like under the Obama God – just check out his voting record.
By the way it would be a great idea to check out his Illinois State Senate record too – gosh, I forgot Obama said he lost it!
Here’s what our next four years will look like if Obama becomes President:
1. Taxes will rise sharply
2. Medicare and SS will suffer extensively
3. The middleclass, seniors, small businesses and farmers will be the ones who get the knife and than we’ll be asked to suck it up and pick up the pieces for the “Obama God.”
4. Third trimester infants will continue to be disposed of and your children’s education will include “The Rules of Radicals.”
5. His voting record signifies that he wants to have his Obama Tea Parties with the illegal immigrants, the terrorists along with spreading the “Wealth.”
After 68 years of living on “this ole Mother Earth,” I don’t want my taxes increased, nor do I want to share my SS and Medicare with those who aren’t US citizens. A baby in the third trimester is a living human being – there’s no room for argument on this fact.
In my mind, any man who refuses to expose his past employment, citizenship and campaign funds is more than a little scary. The Democrats know they didn’t vet this “Obama God” and they’re not going to share this with us until after the election.
“May God Bless America” and take care of our country and our children.
See you @ http://www.yourannie.com

3 R's of Parenthood
Rights - Roles - Responsibilities
John McCain is the veteran, the man who returned to his country and assumed his rights, roles and responsibilities. John and Sarah place country first and both realize that with the help of parents, grandparents and responsible citizens we can restore our Nation's once strong foundation.
Several weeks ago I attended my grandson’s high school football game. Excitement filled the air as parents, grandparents and friends found their seats in the bleachers. If the football team can pull another win out of the hat, they will be in the playoffs (the first time in six years.)
Suddenly I realized the hush that fell over the crown wasn’t about the game, but about a 21 year old man who stood on the field with hat in hand covering his heart. Three years ago, this young man was a track star in our high school and now a veteran with a prosthetic leg.
He is the epitome of one who assumed his rights, roles and responsibilities to keep us safe and to help the less fortunate. The bleachers were packed and heads were bowed in prayer as the announcer spoke about this young hero.
All at once hundreds of men and women on motorcycles circled the field carrying our “Red, White and Blue” flag in honor of this man and their country. Tears flowed as we sang the National Anthem – in my heart, I knew that America still stands as “One Nation Under God.” One young veteran and thousands of strangers were connected by a chain of love.
For those who met him for a few brief moments, he will always be their hero! What an act to follow! Like this young man, parents are heroes too and they will remove the pain from their children’s lives and restore our Nation that is tottering on a weak foundation.
Parenthood is a “God” given gift and no one has the right or authority to tamper with our parents – they are the pulse of America. Remember your childhood, when your imagination and dreams would sweep you off to fantasyland – you were the hero or heroine that saved the day.
A dolly would become a beautiful princess in the blink of an eye or and old broom handle was transformed into a prancing black stallion blowing smoke or whatever out of his nostrils. You were the knight in shinning armor, who saved the maiden in distress or the nurse that healed the sick and doctored the neighborhood stray.
Yep, those were the good old days, when you believed in yourselves and you experienced a distinct warm fuzzy feeling of human worth. The good news is this – there’s still a little hero or heroin hid away in your heart and soul, just waiting to be called to action.
Maybe you haven’t heard the call yet, but look around and listen to your children. They’re yelling and stomping their feet trying to get your attention. Our children are suffering from a pain that is very complex; it’s illusive, difficult to treat and many times misdiagnosed.
They are experiencing an emptiness and a gnawing discomfort which is affecting their minds and bodies. Treatment is superficial, somewhat like a band aide, unless the real problem is identified.
New child psychology, the women’s movement and non parental caregivers (not in any particular order) are three concerns that have spawned excessive psychological and physical damage to our children.
These are the stimuli that have created a portion of this complex pain, but they’re not the cause. With careful examination, you’ll find this complex pain comes from a slow erosion of human values and worth that is causing our country to stumble.
Everyone, not just parents and children have been blindsided! Our leaders suffered too as the new era slowly and relentlessly replaced “morality and spirituality with immorality, self and materialism.
Our government attempted to stay in the middle of the road in a ridiculous effort trying to retain their popularity and position in office. Confusion set in as our they tried to please everyone by being “politically correct,” which was the beginning and the end for most politicians who believed in morals, human worth and values.
It seems like everything converged on us at one time. Overnight we started making adjustments due to modern child psychology, the women’s movement and pressure from the baby boomers.
Just when we were scrambling to keep up with the rapid changes - stage left in tramped the special small interest groups (the meddlers) who always wait to make their moves until we are totally distracted.
Yes, parents were agitated, angry and confused, but the trickle down affect of this era placed parents in a compromising position. The ones behind these movements were strategists and their first order of business was to take the air out of parents and remove parental control.
What better way to bring our Nation to its knees than through our parents and their children! Even if some of our leaders believed in “One Nation Under God,” they were afraid to discuss and retrieve this fundamental right. Help John and Sarah restore our Nation for our children!
Parents, grandparents and concerned citizens are the ones who will have to take time out and restore our country morally and spiritually, but first they must take back their rights, roles and responsibilities.
Parents will be the ones who leave a legacy for our children that has real value and human worth. The past is behind us and we can’t keep dwelling on the past – we must stride forward into the future with the resolve to put discipline and prayer back into our schools and resume parental roles.
Working together one family at a time to put our Nation back on track as one “Nation Under God With Liberty and Justice for All.” Oh yes, it will take effort on our part but what a great feeling it will be to leave our children a truly awesome legacy.
As John F. Kennedy said, “And so my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” For those who believe in “God:” he’s still alive and well! How do I know this, I watched as the Republican Convention closed their ceremony with prayer.
Yow, there were a few low blows about the Church card being pulled out and used, but the good thing is regardless of the off the wall responses - prayer did get the attention of the special interest groups. You know, they are most welcome to join us as we put our tottering Nation back on a strong foundation.

America, you have a voice, but you’ve allowed your ears and eyes to be the only “voice” during this Presidential Elections. Families, grandparents and concerned citizens were once ‘the voice of America” and now they’ve been blindsided by an “Obama God.”
If you were told, your son or daughter was running with a gang involved in drugs, your first reaction would be denial. But, then after taking a deep breath, you realize your child has been hanging out with a tough crowd and his or her choice of friends are truly questionable.
Next, your child is picked up by authorities telling you they did a drug bust and although no drugs were found on your child – he or she was in the vehicle and seen entering the crack house. So you search the child’s room, find diaries, books and letters with the drug lords name, address and telephone number and thousands of dollars hid in an ole shoe box – next you check the computer email and find that your child is actually connected to a gang who’s reputation includes possible murder, rape and other heinous crimes.
So now parents, you have the evidence what would you do about this situation, you have the evidence, you’ ve heard the police report and you’ve read the letters, emails and disgusting communication between your child and the gang members – it’s your call. Would you shut your eyes and stay in a state of denial or would you open your eyes, listen and take time to find out the “real truth” before making a final decision.
Well, here you are in 2008 and many are letting the liberal news media , Obama and his camp sell you a pack of lies. Why are you content to believe others without validating the information? Is it too much work to get online and go to the Illinois Senate, the US government, and do a complete background check on this man they call “Obama.”
Some of America just sits back and says, “We’ll stick with the Obama God, even if he is wrong and endangering our families and children.” “We don’t care who he really is – we just like is style, his eloquent speeches, his money and most of all his “God Like” presence.
So for those who are happy sleeping with the pigs and mucking around with the gophers, go for it, but remember that “What goes around, comes around” and your children and children’s children will be the ones to clean up the mess created by this man and his radical followers.
If you were not content to just wallow around in the media propaganda along with listening to the trashy Obama ads, you would be doing your homework, reading books and learning the ”real truth.”
The two men running for president are totally opposites – one is a leader and the other a programmed robot owned by Acorn, the Weathermen, Unions, Special Interest Groups and the extreme radicals.
One knows how to protect our country from the terrorists, dictators and bad guys. The other just wants to sit down and have a tea party with those who threaten our freedom and our Nation.
One is against further taxation – the other spouts off about 95% of Americans receiving a tax break – never telling you that over 40% of our population doesn’t even pay taxes at this time. So the 95% is just another stinking piece of propaganda.
One wants to stand toe to toe with our government, cut out the “piggy bank,” remove government programs that are stealing our tax dollars and he knows how to create jobs by eliminating our dependence on foreign countries for fuel. This man knows that one more jab against the investors, small business and the middleclass in America will ultimately create a “depression.”
The other is hallucinating and promising a “world class education,” a solution to our health insurance problem and a promise to spread the wealth. The only way all of these things are possible is simply by digging into your pockets and taking your hard-earned money.
Don’t forget the Obama God has every intention of putting your kids and your college kids to work – in other words, the government will replace Democracy for a Dictatorship. What’s that about secret ballots and infanticide?
There are a few people who could assist us on the quest for truth – Hillary & Bill Clinton, CNN and other liberal news media along with 93 other young Democratic leaders that are still wet behind the ears. All of these people could step forward and make a stand for their country – for their children and for our Nation.
Hopefully some of these people can put “politics” on hold and replace it with the truth – our country is confused, angry and agitated and we deserve the “whole truth.”
Bill & Hillary are afraid to ruffle the feathers of the Democratic camp, because Hilllary is itching for the Presidential nomination in 2012. Hillary knows more about Obama, then his grandmother, his wife Michelle or his hair dresser does, because she has been exposed to his illegal shannanigans.
CNN and their buds could expose this President Elect by telling the whole truth and returning to the basics of good journalism. CNN has a few great men who are on the verge of making the right move before November 4th. Hey guys, we’re not asking for lies or editied and re-edited news for our listening pleasure – we’re talking about things like truth, honesty, character and reputation.
The 93 young Democrats may just surprise all of us, because they’re not comfortable with the Democratic party at this time. Hopefully, they’ll step forward and place their country first! May “God Bless Each and Everyone.”

Senator Biden Who
2008 finds most Americans spending their time trying to maintain some semblance of order in their family household due to the stress of high fuel prices, a weak economy and the meddlers, peddlers and gov.
Meddlers refers to the special interest groups, lobbyists and the corporate clan. Peddlers would be our news media that choose to blindside us and give us trickle down information in order to extract a specific response. The Gov, oh well do I need to say anymore on that one?
Few of us have time to really sift thru the political muck to find out the real truth, but before the Presidential Election we need to get involved as individuals, once again become the “Voice of America.”
Take a look at a Joe Bidens’s track record – you can do this with ease by going to projects.washingtonpost.com. If you don’t have time, than take a glance at some of his voting records in the next few paragraphs.
Remember, his campaign speeches are stuffed full of rock throwing and off the wall gibberish, because what he is saying certainly doesn’t match up with his voting record in the Senate. Who is this man and does he really place his country first in the scheme of things of is he on a personal mission?
Mr. Biden didn’t think the college students and lower middle class needed any assistance so he voted a big no as you can see below.
Vote 25: On the Motion: Motion to Waive Re: DeMint Amdt. No. 158; To increase the Federal minimum wage by an amount that is based on applicable State minimum wages.
Senator Biden wants no part of monitoring wasteful spending nor does he want his friends who lobby for him or his son to have to worry about compliance. Neither, he or his Democratic friends want to address the earmark problem – check closely and you’ll see he just passed on voting and let the Democrats take care of the bill, which they did!
Check out Senator Biden's "Big No's" in the Senate:
Vote 9: S 1: Vitter Amdt. No. 10; To increase the penalty for failure to comply with lobbying disclosure requirements.
Vote 142: S 761: DeMint Amdt. No. 930; To prohibit congressional earmarks of funds appropriated pursuant to No authorizations in the bill Not VOTING No - by the Democrats
Vote 9: S 1: Vitter Amdt. No. 10; To increase the penalty for failure to comply with lobbying disclosure requirements.
Vote 142: S 761: DeMint Amdt. No. 930; To prohibit congressional earmarks of funds appropriated pursuant to Noauthorizations in the bill Not VOTING No Democrats
Check this bill out, Vote 121: H R 1591: Coburn Amdt. No. 648; To remove $100 million in funding for the Republican and Democrat party conventions in 2008.
This bill was initiated to help those of us whose tax money is being recklessly tossed around at the Republic and Democratic Conventions. So far, Senator Biden appears to be scoring – 7 or 8 – he just doesn’t get it, or does he?
Is Senator Biden really placing country first, don’t think so – he voted “ no “for an extension of the income tax rate structure that protects nearly 28,000,000 families and individuals, including small business owners – and what is he actually saying in his campaign speeches?
He voted “no” on the bill to improve the economy efficiency, and effectiveness of Federal programs and reduce the Federal debt by eliminating waste, fraud and abuse. Along with that he gave the “Nay” on the bill that was meant to establish a reserve fund for protecting coverage choices, additional benefits, and lower cost-sharing for Medicare beneficiaries.
This is your dad, mom, grandparents and elderly citizens that he’s ignoring and someday you’ll be one of the seniors, so you need to take a long hard look at how the Democratic VP elect is voting.
It’s your right to vote as a citizen of the United States. Along with that “right” comes a responsibility of knowing exactly what kind of man or woman you’re selecting to lead our country. We need leaders – not followers!
A good leader will stand toe to toe with the meddlers, peddlers & gov and with the help of parents, grandparents and concerned citizens restore our Nations weak foundation. It’s time for our voices to be heard – let’s not settle for trickle down propaganda, lies or idle promises!
Don’t settle for chewed up regurgitated news, drag yourselves away from the TV, Newspapers and blackberries and do your homework. Go to projects.washingtonpost.com and get the real scoop – thank goodness the Washington Post offers an easy way to study the bills that have gone thru the Senate, because the government sites are difficult to find out the “real news.” (I wonder why?)
Take a minute to study a few more bills that Senator Biden voted “No” on and decide if this is truly the man for the Vice Presidency. As a mother of 4 and grandmother of 7 – he certainly doesn’t have a track record that protects my country, children and my children’s children.
Vote 102: S CON RES 21: Kyl Amdt. No. 583; To reform the death tax by setting the exemption at $5 million per estate, indexed for inflation, and the top death tax rate at no more than 35% beginning in 2010; to avoid subjecting an estimated 119,200 families, family businesses, and family farms to the death tax each and every year; to promote continued economic growth and job creation; and to make the enhanced teacher deduction permanent. “No”
Vote 82: S CON RES 70: DeMint Amdt. No. 4339; To provide for a deficit-neutral reserve fund for providing an above the line Federal income tax deduction for individuals purchasing health insurance outside the workplace. “No”
Vote 81: S CON RES 70: Allard Amdt. No. 4233; To require that legislation to reauthorize SCHIP include provisions codifying the unborn child regulation. No
Vote 77: S CON RES 70: Kyl Amdt. No. 4372; To protect small businesses, family ranches and farms from the Death Tax by providing a $5 million exemption, a low rate for smaller estates and a maximum rate no higher than 35%. No
Vote 74: S CON RES 70: Kyl Amdt. No. 4348; To provide certainty to taxpayers by extending expiring tax provisions such as the R&D Tax Credit that helps US companies innovate, combat pay exclusion for our soldiers in the field, the education deduction to make colleges more affordable and the alternative energy incentives to make the environment cleaner through the end of 2009.
Vote 73: On the Motion: Motion to Waive C.B.A. Cornyn Amdt. No. 4313; To protect the family budget from runaway Government spending by increasing the number of Senators necessary to waive the PAYGO Point of Order from 60 to 100.
Vote 67: S CON RES 70: Brownback Amdt. No. 4284; To provide funds for a Commission on Budgetary Accountability and Review of Federal Agencies.
Vote 66: S CON RES 70: Allard Amdt. No. 4232; To pay down the Federal debt and eliminate government waste by reducing spending 5 percent on programs rated (as mandated under the Government Performance and Results Act (Public Law 103-62)) ineffective by the Office of Management and Budget Program Assessment Rating Tool.
Vote 56: S CON RES 70: Alexander Amdt. No. 4207 as Modified; To establish a deficit-neutral reserve fund to improve energy efficiency and production.
You’ve heard me say, words are cheap and often times nothing but idle rhetoric – so the next time you tune into one of Senator Biden’s political speeches consider reading between the lines, because what he says and what he does are two entirely different formats.
John Mc Cain places country first! He wants to restore our Nation’s once strong foundation and he will stand toe to toe with the meddlers, peddlers and the gov. Not just an idle promise - Senator Mc Cain has stood toe to toe with both Republican and Democratic parties. He knows and has known for years that our country was losing its once strong foundation - thank goodness he never gave up and now we can proudly nominate him as our next Presiend of the US.
Sarah Palin is the lady who cares about our children and their children. She is one of us and understands the struggles and problems that parents, grandparents and concerned citizens are facing. If you sift through all of the media buzz - you'll find a young woman who is capable of being our VP and not afraid of the "Devil" himself.
Don’t just consider the two mavericks, vote for them on November 4th and help them restore our Nation and leave our children a legacy that will make headlines in our History books as the "greatest legacy ever given to our youth.
As Always, Annie
