What Does A Free & Strong America Mean To You?

What does a FREE AND STRONG AMERICA MEAN TO YOU?

Give Romney's PAC $50 and you might win an all expense paid trip to see a ball game at Fenway Park sitting in the Romney Family's seats :) Consider it a raffle ticket :) Many complained that it cost something to enter...goes to my entry...America is still a FREE country. Pay it and enter ONE DAY LEFT...or don't...but DON'T judge those of us that did!

Here's my entry:

"PEOPLE RISE, carry forth what founding Fathers intended, ABIDE the Constitution. GREAT document at inception.

GET OVER ENTITLEMENT MENTALITY, GET OVER “Political Correctness”…Free Speech IS.

New Legislation OR Pre-Planned Conspiracy?


I SWEAR - I'm NOT a Conspiracy Theorist! However...I'm living in a time unlike anything I've ever seen in my lifetime, and I'm 46.

Each new "regulation", or "new law" up to and including BOTH my "Obama" administration AND my Nevada legislation...has creepily had RESULTS BEFORE the ink was dry on the paper!

Obama signs a new bill...within 3 days I get new updates on my business software to compensate for the new expenditures/rules! My Nevada legislature signs a new law, and before the ink is dry I get a letter in the mail explaining the NEW way I must fill out tax forms and / or I get a strange check in the mail that might benefit me TODAY, but it WON'T benefit future home buyers!

Is all this stuff pre-planned? HOW CAN IT BE.

Obama Makes My Jaw Drop


I swear...I never thought I'd live to see the things happening right before my own eyes today. One man managed in 6 months to spend more money than ever before in 30 administrations before him. One man has managed to appall the masses (even the ones that voted for him)...

The last time I "overly" shook my head was when Jimmy Carter was in office. But today, I'm beginning to think I've contracted a terminal case of both Parkinson's Disease and TMJ all at the same time! I walk around each day with my head continually shaking and my jaw dropped (it's locked in that dropped position), as I watch my President throwing away 200+ years of history.

Latest vetoes: Hospitals can keep stuff secret and off-roaders need not pay

The Man Formerly Known as Governor has nixed two more -- and his logic is as twisted as ever. One would have made hospitals report more events; the other would charge higher fees on off-roaders. See the veto messages at right.

Man Formerly Known as Governor vetoes domestic partners, two other bills

Cites will of voters in gay marriage in veto message but invokes his signing of public accommodations bill to show he does not think "domestic partners are in any way undeserving of rights and protections."

He also vetoed bill dealing with regional planning in Washoe (says it is redundant and state intrusion into local government function, perhaps different than stealing local government money) and with ensuring standards for medical treatment of prisoners (redundant and unnecessary).

The veto messages are posted at right.

Why would John Ensign endorse a union lobbyist over a fiscally conservative Republican?

That's the question posed if you put a couple of last-minute mail pieces together in the race for Las Vegas City Council. Turns out Glenn Trowbridge was a union lobbyist (and partied at the police union HQ on primary night!) and that Sen. John Ensign has endorsed him. I have posted the pieces at right.
