losing my job
Guest written by our friend Mason Abbott
Man, getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to me. There were massive layoffs at my company which was happening everywhere and I was one of the last to go – they said they loved me but just couldn’t afford to keep me on. I was really devastated at first because I had no idea where to go but once I got my head about me I started looking for another job. I knew it would probably be a long process so I hunkered down and came up with some ways to save money in the meantime so I wouldn’t go broke. I called my credit card company and renegotiated my interest rate and went to texaselectricityPROVIDERS.com and found out I was paying too much for energy. I had a big garage sale and got rid of a bunch of junk I didn’t need and made a few hundred dollars that way. I found a new job after about three months though it doesn’t pay as well as my old one, but it’s a job!

Too Much Government Control
Well the Republicans tried to save us from the evil new light bulb but they were unable to roll back the law that will make light bulbs, as we know them, unavailable after the first of the year.
If you dislike the new bulbs as much as I do perhaps you should start now to stock up on our old familiar bulbs while you still can.
I read an article this morning which says that GE will be introducing a new LED bulb which will be quite improved but it will cost...are you ready for this...upwards of $50.00 each. Now think about this...who will be able to afford to buy these bulbs, even if they do last a long time. Imagine moving into a new house, or apartment, and needing to purchase bulbs at this price for every socket in the house. You know the folks moving out will not be leaving their bulbs.
Where do I sign up for the revolution? Have you thought about all the freedoms this administration has or is in the process of eliminating. If this man were to be re-elected we would not recognize our country at the end of his second term. I am having a problem recognizing our country now and he still has months to go.
Perhaps everyone who cares should just move to Texas. They seem to be making good decisions while many other states are making decisions which in the end will be destructive to all of us.
Speaking of Texas. I just learned something I didn't know. In Texas, and perhaps in other states as well, as a consumer you have a choice as to who you purchase your electricity from.
This information is to be found on a website called http://www.texaselectricityproviders.com/. It appears that there are several choices available from which to choose and even though is seems that it is the same power flowing through your wires each offering company decides on it's own pricing.
Perhaps every state should offer what they are offering at http://www.texaselectricityproviders.com/.
The website is interesting. I'm not sure who provides it but you have the option of filling out a form and receiving competitive pricing from several different providers. Perhaps those of us in all the states where a monopoly exists, and we are stuck with whatever our power company cares to charge us, should start a movement to do away with monopolies. There are laws that keep most companies from forming a monopoly but the government is still protecting select types of companies ie electricity. I think the choices which are shown on http://www.texaselectricityproviders.com/ is a great way to do business and one we should all be able to take advantage of.

Accountability in American Politics
Are you paying attention to the situation in which America finds herself or are you one of the millions of people whose heads are firmly planted in the sand?
It is amazing, to me, that at a time when we are in debt over fourteen trillion dollars (an amount none of us can get our minds around) that still the liberals in congress will state that spending should still be done to specific programs because "it is a good program".
Let's see if you are personally broke and you have a car which is in bad shape purchasing a new car would be a good thing, but does a reasonable person go out and buy one, knowing full well that you can't pay for it?
Is this the way these people, in Washington, run there own lives?
When people vote for a person to represent them they seem to think that personal responsibility and moral responsibility should not be considered in their decision. I would like to say that a person's honesty and morals cannot be separated into a personal life and a political life. We all make our decisions based on our beliefs. It is silly to think that a person can do otherwise. If you are an honest person you will not make a dishonest decision. If you live your life in dishonesty, (ie) Weiner's dishonesty in sending suggestive emails to women, not his wife, is dishonest. Therefore all his decisions and acts can and should be called into question.
It is time we, as voters, stop making excuses for those people running for office. It is time we stop accepting what they say rather than doing our homework to find out what they have done. It is time we hold all elected officials accountable. Then and only then can we expect accountability in Washington, in our state capitals and in our local government.

Wake Up America
Do you understand where our country is headed? If you think things are going along as usual perhaps you are not spending enough time paying attention.
Our country is being run by a bunch of idiots who don't have the collective sense to run a lemonade stand.
Out of all the members of the house and the senate (do you even know how many people this is) there is perhaps a dozen who realize just how serious it is for our country to be in debt 14 trillion dollars. We can't even wrap our minds around that kind of money so how do you think we will ever pay it back.
It is real folks.
Now lets consider what is going on in Wisconsin , in Ohio , in Indiana, in Florida and there is more to come. OOps forgot New Jersey.
For far too long the public workers unions here in America have been running the show. They determine how much they will be paid, how much we will pay for their pensions, how they will run our schools and what will be taught etc etc.
Let's face it, when the unions make demands on our elected official, decisions are being made about what we, the taxpayers, will pay and the decision is being made by the idiots we elect and who will only be in office for a short time. In order to get reelected they will gladly give the unions, the ones who are contributing large sums of money to their campaigns, whatever they want in the way of wages, and benefits. They are not business people, in fact most people in politics have never run a business or paid a payroll or had to worry about the bottom line.
They worry only about getting reelected not about the good of their commuity.
In Wisconsin the union thugs have destroyed the grounds around the capital and done great damage to the interior. They have blocked and threatened the elected officials from entering their offices and they are demanding their rights, which don't exist unless they are given to them by the elected officials.They are now sending DEATH THREATS.
Meanwhile the democrats who lost the majority in the last election, just said we don't like the way things are going so we will just leave the state and go to Illinois. They have been there for over three weeks, preventing the work of the state from going forward and telling the world that this is no way to run a democracy.
Well remember this...we are not a democracy. WE are a republic. That is where we are losing it. WE don't know what we are. Remember "And to the Republic, for which it stands one nation, under god, with liberty and justice for all."
