Carey's top ten reasons why Obama would make a good president

Carey's top ten reasons why Obama would make a good president

10. He is gifted at community service
9. He is Pro-choice which means fewer Democrats in the future
8. The NBA championship series will be declared a holiday
7. We will be healthier from riding our bikes as Obama won't drill for oil
6. All of us will feel more patriotic when we have to pay more in taxes
5. He will add 7 more states to make his statement of being in 57 states true
4. Obama will make more people want to cling to guns and religion
3. We will have daily gaffs from Vice President Biden to laugh at and make us forget how miserable we are
2. Lazy people won't have to work as Obama will spread the wealth.

And the number one reason why Obama would make a good president is....

He will hand out tire gauges to make sure our tires are properly inflated!

Apple bows to Homosexuals

Taken from Apples home page. Men and women are as different as apples and oranges but Apple doesn't see it that way. And so another company has been taken over by UnGodly Liberal filth. And then you wonder why the Arab nations call us the great Satan, need I explain?


No on Prop 8
Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees’ same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person’s fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8

Carey joins the USSDA

Hey Gang,
Usually at election time I'm spending countless hours on the campaign trail for someone. But this year I am just so discouraged by not only what is happening in my personal life with Euclid, work etc... but also the general direction of Socialism that America is falling into. The last 7 years or so, is not the America I know or grew up in. Its disheartening to say the least. So I decided to join the Obama camp.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
United Socialist States of a Democratic America

Self reliance and self responsibility stand in the way of a government that wants to embolden communities across America to a uniform set of laws and regulations. The new direction for America where individual freedom gives way to universal freedom for all. One class - one standard - one religion - one people - new hope for all. When people work for the government, government works and society benefits. Paying taxes is patriotic, spreading the wealth is noble. Join the globalization movement, join the United Socialist States of a Democratic America. Lets move America forward and take her place amongst other nations where borders no longer exist and the people speak as one.

I am Barack Obama and I approve of this message.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sounds great huh? Until "Big Government" tells you your religion is not state sponsored so you can't practice it. Or they eliminate your guns. Mandate abortions after 2 children. Euthanize the elderly or mentally challenged. Dictate what job you will work at. Don't believe me? Then you don't know history or world affairs my friend.

Makes you want to vote Democratic. Well doesn't it?

friends more about this global mess, my plight and Euclid made the NY Times

Notes from Saturday night late.
My niece was over and we were watching CNN. They had an emergency news flash showing South Korea's financial crisis. Then CNN showed short clips of Switzerland, Germany and France as the latest countries also facing financial crisis. I had chills run up my spine watching what was unfolding. THIS IS GLOBAL! If that wasn't bad enough I went to my computer and did a search on the number of empty houses in Euclid. I found this story (Please note the date, 2007, its FAR worse now): http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/23/us/23vacant.html?pagewanted=2&ei=5090&en=69466b54a5e12704&ex=1332302400&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss
You know what, go grab a cup of coffee this is going to be lengthy, Carey is just going to lay it out there of what is the latest with my situation with Euclid which now they say they will press criminal actions against me, thats what you get for investing in a city such as I have.
A quick review. When this whole thing initially started with Euclid in May my business completely tanked. At first I was embarrassed about my financial situation but judging by what is happening I am not alone. In '03 my credit rating was above 800 and I received a loan to buy the second house as easy as going to the store to buy chips. And I can't blame myself for accounts going out of business either, such as Bennigans. Another account said its nothing personal but we need to cut back on all buying, please check back in January. How did I survive? Credit card, savings, sharing expenses with the folks and my two rentals paid the three loans.
If that wasn't bad enough in May I get the surprise letter from Euclid stating $1,000.00 fine and up to six months in jail if I don't register the houses as rentals at $200.00 each, social security numbers of tenants, and mandatory inside inspection.
I immediately wrote a letter to the Mayor asking for assistance and help. Still have a copy if you like to read it again. The tone was strictly a plea for help and understanding. What did the mayor say? Pay they don't play, we could charge you more and maybe you should raise your rent. Thats when I sent out the second letter and not to be a smart ass but as another plea and also included my house insurance bill. Who wouldn't freak facing the penalty Euclid wants to hand down? Furthermore, they wanted me to pay $400 when I can't even pay my bills. Since then I've had to cancel the house insurance.
What happened next is Euclid issued a yard violation. Thats what you get for asking for help and challenging the system in a proper manner. I then contacted Councilman Van Ho and he met with me at the Crystal house along with my friend/tenant at the time. Councilman Van Ho was also beside himself as were my friends and said this has to be a mistake. My tenant/friend who had a landscaper maintain the yard said "now I am insulted". It took him less than two months from that violation to tell me sorry I just want out of Euclid.
I spoke with someone who is running for State Representative and he said speak with Councilman Langman. Shortly after that I received another notice of violation non-compliance which I thought was for the windows. I had both Concilman Langman and Van Ho over to show them the house. Both agreed the house is fine even though I pointed out that yes the place needs windows to which Councilman Van Ho laughed and said show me a house that doesn't need windows in Euclid, these houses are old. Councilman Van Ho said that the city will be meeting with realtors to find out why houses aren't selling in Euclid. To that I answered this is more than white flight, people do not want such a restrictive government, people want to be left alone. He added, Yes I have heard that before. Both councilmen said they would talk with Kelly Sweeney Assistant Director of Law and advised me please talk with her to see what can be worked out.


It was then I contacted an attorney. He said they can't make such demands I will look into it but he thought they were just making noise to lay low and no more writing about this situation and maybe they will forget about me.
I received a summons for October 6Th, so much for laying low, which I did not appear as I thought the above mentioned attorney would handle it. He turned out to be a total disaster and instead of advising me privately he capitulated. I was issued a new summons for this coming Monday the 27Th.
So that gets us up to date. What am I expecting or wish to come out of this? Many things but the biggest is to raise awarnes how local governments can come in and completely wipe you out if they so desire with little to no recourse which I why I have sent out email after email to showcase my story. If Euclid forces me into bankruptcy, jail and or selling my properties I will make it known from the local paper all the way to CNN. Furthermore, I am just beside myself that any level of government can make demands to enter your property with out probable cause such as multiple police calls to the residence, neighbor complaints to name a few.
Many questions are raised but all of this could of been averted when I initially contacted Mayor Cervenik. Call me naive or ignorant but I had NO clue Euclid had such rules concerning rentals. Did the bank advice me, did the realtor, did I receive any letter from Euclid other than the one from May of this year? NOPE! How is a person suppose to know such rules exist if they are not informed and if I was informed I would never of bought my second house in Euclid. Since it was Euclid's fault for not making it public and I have owned the house on Priday since 1993 and the one on Crystal since 2003 I should be grandfathered in OR until the current tenants move out. Especially considering the gentleman residing at Priday has been there since March, 1999. Now Euclid demands entry into my tenant/friends residence after almost 10 years! You pay property tax, income tax, and now this fee? Where will it end?

In all the conversations I had with members of the Euclid government and and read articles and notices sent to me they mention maintaining housing stock. They don't get it. Maintaining housing stock? There is about 1,000 empty houses with 400 in foreclosure. House values are falling ridiculously low. What are they doing to make Euclid business friendly? The neighbors house across the street from my property on Priday has been empty for 3 years. Where did Don flee to? The suburbs of Lake County as did many of my other friends. The mayor has to realize, as Councilman Van Ho brought up, these houses in Euclid are old. You maintain them the best you can but they will never look like a new subdivision from 2000. This is way more than white flight. People do like to live fearful of a government that threatens and harasses. The mayor is trying to maintain housing stock, so is it better now that my story has reached countless people and blogs? Is
it better now that my house on Crystal Ave. sits empty because of their meddling? Is it better that
I may face jail and fines instead of trying to find a tenant for my house?
As both councilman told me speak with Kelly Sweeney and see what you can work out. I did as did the lawyer I hired and dismissed. He said they would accept $75 registration since I have had the property so long and it would be done. I thought we had a compromise worked out. When I called Kelly either she reneged or my lawyer misunderstood her but which ever things changed back to her original demands. I was willing to pay the $75 as long as they stay out of my tenants house. To that I received an emphatic NO and Kelley then raised the fee back to $200.00.
Euclid is dieing, people are fleeing the city. I am doing all I can to stay and run a business, which is what rental property is. So much for a compromise.
I bought the house on Crystal in 2003 for $67,900.00. In 2006 it was valued at $58,100, now who knows. What is Euclid doing to secure and stabilize my investment? They need to back off to infuse much needed new money and investment in the city. Mayor Cervenik PLEASE fill up these houses!!! You want to do something? Go speak to the residents and tenants who want out, as Councilman Van Ho was suppose to do with my tenant living in the Crystal residence but didn't. You need to build up public relations. I don't care how you do it, knock on doors hand out coupons to area businesses, have an open house at city hall to meet and greet all members of council, but I know where to start rescind laws that are forcing people to flea even if its temporary, the bleeding needs to stop.
As for my current situation how am I paying the loans? I have until the end of March and then I am done if things don't change. A very very close friend of mine has stepped in and said Carey, if this will help you I will pay your one loan until spring, this should buy you enough time hopefully to correct your ship. And thats all I am trying to do right now, buy time. Because with Euclid's demands, falling house value, barely making ends meet I may join the ranks and be number 401 on Euclid's list of foreclosure. Mayor Cervenik and Euclid, do the right thing.

The Joe-k Book

Friends,

Biden and Obama have said enough stupid things to make a joke book and yet the media isn't playing that up. For instance Biden told a senator in a wheel chair to stand up, he said FDR would give speeches on TV. Those are just a few, you know what.... read them for yourselves.
And to think the liberal Democrats made a mockery of Vice President Quayle, a fine man, over a misspelling of potato. Most liberals are vegetarians so of course they would know how to spell potato. Hmmm I do wonder though if they could spell AK 47?

These were taken from various news sources:

Biden.... recently, telling Katie Couric that Franklin Roosevelt went on TV to reassure the public after the stock market crashed in 1929 - which was before FDR was president and before TV.


Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden goofed when he asked Sen. Chuck Graham, D-Columbia, to stand up to be acknowledged by the crowd. Graham is confined to a wheelchair.
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=156_1221005987

"Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S," the Democratic veep nominee said at a morning rally in Athens.


RICHMOND, Va. - Barack Obama, caught up in the fervor of a campaign speech, drastically overstated the Kansas tornadoes death toll, saying 10,000 had died.

The death toll was 12.



JERUSALEM – Sen. Barack Obama has been caught in an apparent gaffe that has some angry bloggers claiming the Democratic presidential candidate was "lying about the Holocaust for political gain."

In a Memorial Day speech yesterday available on video, Obama told an audience his uncle liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp. The Nazi death camp, however, was liberated by the Soviet Union in January 1945.
It wasn't immediately clear which uncle Obama was referencing. His late father was Kenyan. Articles about his late mother, S. Ann Soetoro, state she was an only child and that her father was upset she wasn't a boy.


"It is wonderful to be back in Oregon," Obama said. "Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

President Bush has been known to mispronounce words but this is pure buffoonery. And people want to vote for this tandem?

Top Ten List Why Cleveland is Still a Great Place to Live

I am just so disturbed by the corruption, the big government mentality of Cuyahoga county, the taxes, inept leadership that if I don't joke about it I would go nuts, hmm maybe its to late for that. Read these fine gems made up by good ole me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey Gang,
Cleveland has been getting a lot of bad press as of late which is unfair because it did rank number one in something, as America's largest poor city. Crime is up, taxes are up, foreclosures are up, and you may say what's up? To that I say all is not bleak. I give you my top 10 reasons why living in the Cleveland area still has some good points to it. Here they are.....


10. With everyone moving out parking spaces are easier to find
9. A shorter rush hour, it went from 20 minutes to 10 minutes long
8. You can cross the street anytime of day and not get hit by a car
7. If you are homeless and sleep on the sidewalk no pedestrians to walk over you
6. It makes Euclid more attractive
5. You can buy three houses for the price of one
4 You can experience a ghost town without having to drive out west
3 More benefits for everyone, all nationalities are now minorities as rats out number people.
2 If you're lazy and don't like to work you have an excuse, there is no jobs
And the number one reason why Cleveland isn't the worse place to live is...
Because it still isn't Buffalo


Here's some history brought to you by me.
Did you know General Moses Cleaveland arrived in the Cleveland area on July 22, 1796. He left in October of the same year. He died in 1806 never returning to the land named after him. I think that was a sign of things to come as many people come to Cleveland, leave and never return.

Cleveland does have a lot to see, you just have to get here before everything closes at 2 pm.

With all the scandals and FBI removing boxes of files in Cleveland its very nostalgic, it almost feels like its Washington DC during the Clinton era of the 90's.

Cleveland is trying hard to get the medical mart. Why, just go to any street corner and get any drug you want.

Cleveland may get the Gay Games. Great, aren't our sports teems sissy enough?
But really, thats all Cleveland needs, first a flaming river and now flaming queers, this should really improve our image.
Some of the Gays are excited to come here, they heard the Browns have good tight ends.

Here's some motto's the area should adopt.

Cleveland, the place where dreams die.

High taxes - regulations - inside inspections - Euclid a role model for big government

You like big government, you'll love our city. Euclid

Interfering with business since 1988, we just want our cut. Euclid

Someone who is prominent in Lake County told me this one. And its so true.
"Euclid is like hell, you can't live there but its impossible to leave"

Hey don't pile on and make fun of Cleveland, if you don't live in this area you don't really know what a joke it is.

Gotta Go Go!!

Carey's Straight Talk

Wow where do we start. So much is happening - so much to say. Back in May I cleaned a Mr. Hero's, the owner was from Egypt. We got to talking about the economy. He told me when things in America are OK its bad in Egypt, when it gets rough over here things are terrible in Egypt as it is right now.
I've written this many times but as America goes so goes the world. All this clamoring to tinker with America socially and economically to get us in the global market has been the ruin of this nation. Instead of bringing the worlds standards up we have lowered ours so much the reverberation is felt worldwide. Right now, just to mention one more country, England's banks are in turmoil.
We can thank both parties for this. From President Bush Sr. who heralded the NEW WORLD ORDER and NAFTA, President Clinton who under his watch sold the soul of this nation on to President W. Bush who was busy trying to get even more countries on board like Columbia and Korea to add to the free trade list.
And of the three current running for office, Senator McCain signed all the trade agreements, Senator Joe Biden almost all and Senator Obama gave double talk when he said he's not for NAFTA but won't try to repeal it. Can this be why nothing is done about the illegals because soon borders won't matter?
I will never forget that day back in 1993 hearing the news NAFTA was signed. It was like someone just told me I was homeless, well it took a while but it seems this country is heading down the path where the majority could be left homeless.
In last nights debate the question was raised about what both parties have done concerning globalism and how its ruining America. Obama skirted the issue because he is a globalist and McCain I shut it off not to hear his non-answer so can't report what he said. Neither one wanted to tell you the real reason for this mess. I will, FREE TRADE and globalism.
Obama blasted President Bush of the deficit he has run up since he took office. But did Barack come out and mention some of the things W. had to deal with? Things as 911, a war, and natural disasters like Katrina. Or did he mention the biggest reason? President Bush Jr. is the first
president having to deal with China as a most favored nation. If NAFTA was a giant sucking sound that took jobs out of here as Ross Perot said then the Chinese trade agreement is more like a black hole. Both parties at the top won't fess up to this. And I have to throw it right back at Bush Jr. because as I mentioned above, did he try to pull back and stop the bleeding? No he wanted more countries lined up to connect the dots of a global market.
The banking crisis is a whole other story but if you want this country to turn around we need to take major steps right now to return jobs to these shores so people can pay off their loans or just eat. And the steps to do that are, repeal all unfair free trade deals - abolish unions and or enact right to work laws - tell the government hands off with your EPA, cafe standards and regulations - lower taxes - and become energy independent by drilling for oil, using our coal and build new nuclear plants. Until we do those things our standards will never return to where they once were and you might as well get in line for a global melt down and a one world ruler because thats where this is heading.

Know the candidates: Barack Obama - man of family values

More fodder for you. This was taken from About.com:Lesbian Life. My research leads me into places no sane person would venture, ahhh but you have to dig to get the straight scoop and in this case straight scoop might not be the right term. If you have family values do you still want to vote Obama?? After reading this you may want to rescind that thought.

Barack Obama in the Illinois Senate:

Barack Obama was known as a liberal who was not afraid to build bridges across party lines during his term in the Illinois State Senate. He gained a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood for his support of family planning and abortion rights legislation.

Barack Obama and Gay Rights in Illinois:

Barack Obama supported gay rights during his Illinois Senate tenure. He sponsored legislation in Illinois that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

Barack Obama in the United States Senate:

Every two years the Human Rights Campaign, the largest national gay and lesbian organization, issues a scorecard for members of the Senate based on their sponsorship and voting on key issues of importance to gay and lesbian citizens. Barack Obama scored 89 out of 100% in the 2006 scorecard.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell - Gays in the Military:

Barack Obama believes we need to repeal the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and allow gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military. His campaign literature says, "The key test for military service should be patriotism, a sense of duty, and a willingness to serve."
And anyone who feels its his duty to bend over for his fellow man I applaud that. OK that last sentence was my words, sorry I was feeling a little to patriotic.


Gay & Lesbian Adoption:

Barack Obama believes gays and lesbians should have the same rights to adopt children as heterosexuals.


Ready for some Obama talk that swings both ways?

Barack Obama and Gay Marriage/ Civil Unions:

Although Barack Obama has said that he supports civil unions, he is against gay marriage. In an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune, Obama said, "I'm a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman."

Barack Obama did vote against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.

Ummm lets see, Barack doesn't support same sex marriage but voted against a Federal Marriage Amendment and opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. Would you call that bi-talk since it goes both ways??

He said he would support civil unions between gay and lesbian couples, as well as letting individual states determine if marriage between gay and lesbian couples should be legalized.

And there you have it. Barack Obama, man of faith, morals and family values?? As Harry History once told me "DO THE RESEARCH MAN - JUST DO THE RESEARCH.

Still want to vote democrat? from Careys archives 1-08

This was written in January, 2008 but never sent out.

Friends,
So much is happening its impossible to keep up.
Below is an email that I received today. Read it - change some wording to compensate for the era and you are back in NAZI Germany, trying to pray with out repercusions.
Back in December when I was gathering signatures to place Mike Huckabee on the ballot in Lake County a similiar scenario was playing out. I thought I had a sure fire plan - go to the churches I know. One Pastor, when I mentioned on the phone what I was doing, abruptly said NO and good by. Another church that I attend on occasions and know quite a few in the congregation I decided to go with clip board in hand. After the bible study I was received as if I just pulled out a gun, everyone avoided me and took off. The assistant pastor said we can't do that here. I had to explain in whisper that I was a delegate for Mike Huckabee. These people were so fearful of the government and of the lie of separation of church and state that I couldn't even talk about this in the parking lot. This is going on all across America. The push is from the communist/socialist running as Democrats. Need further proof read this email I received.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carey, I know that Glenn plans to write to you, but I also wanted to thank you for your support. Glenn is up for Re-Election and they are making a campaign issue about his prayers, plus many other things. GLenn lost his father in World War II, and his mother died 18 months later. He was raised by family, but never let the fact he was an orphan slow down his ambition. He worked for Nationwide Ins. for 39 years and owned and operated 5 offices. He is a strong man of faith, and when He was voted President of the board, he did what he has always done, started with prayer. For 9 months it wasn't an issue, and as we got closer to the primary, those who oppose Glenn started making it a issue. Several advised Glenn it would be best for him politically if he stopped, he refused!! Our current president is Kris Jordan who is running for state rep. He picked up where Glenn left off and prays before each session. Glenn has received over 700 e-mails
offering prayer and support. This is what gets us through. The latest attack was his web site. (We are not good with computers) so a friend of ours set up the web-site which had a clip supporting our troops. It was a wonderful clip with music in the back ground. He found the clip on U-Tube..(Glenn and I had never been on U-Tube and I didn't know what it was) One of those who are attacking GLenn found that if you clicked several times there was a follow-up by someone who had added a horrible message (again we were not aware it was there) They cut and pasted the 4 letter words to our clip and sent it to the local papers, and to our State Rep. and Congressman Tieberi, stating that Glenn had intentionally put this evil on his site.. Glenn is the most patriotic man I know. He would never, ever do anything unkind to our troops. He goes to see all the local Men and Women off, prays for them and if possible he is there to welcome them home. This
gives you an idea of how evil they are. They make fun of him on u-tube--they laugh at him at candidates nights, but HE IS STANDING STRONG. I am so proud of him. He would gladly lay down his life for his Lord and his country. He is a man of Honor, with a kind and gentle nature. It is so important that you continue to pray for him.
God Bless You

Vote Democratic this November?

I started this article months ago and was going to let it just sit but with the elections coming up and all the financial turmoil America is in the timing is right for it to be completed. I hope this will open your eyes and tell everyone you know please do not vote Democratic. Their policies and thinking have America so screwed up and bogged down its going to take a miracle to undo their mess.
In a previous article I wrote titled "Hows the Summer Going" written on July 14th of this year, I briefly mention the problem of road repairs. Here's that line:
"You just never figure all the other things affected by this. Less gas sales, less taxes for road repair."
So what appeared in the AP on July 20th? "Dream of gas tax holiday falters over job losses". What is it about? Its about the Democratic congress proposing to raise the gas tax to offset the lost tax revenue from less fuel being sold to maintain our roads. Senator McCain at least was hoping to eliminate the federal gas tax temporarily help ease the pain at the pump but this shortfall is so great its impossible.
More recently, September 22Th, this problem was addressed yet again, and because of this HUGE shortfall gas tax may have to be raised an addtional 25 to 40 cents per gallon and/or license fees raised $5.75 to $19 on top of fee's raised by the county. Where is the average person suppose to come up with this money? And its all because of our no drill and environmental policies.
If that isn't enough to show the failure of the socialist/democratic party then maybe this will. A bill would require the president to make available oil from the government's Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Why is this a failure of an idea? Just think if we did tap into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, with all the restrictions on exploring or drilling for new oil the Democrats have placed on us, if there is an extreme emergency we would of already have used up our reserve. Thats what its there for, EMERGENCIES, not for times such as now. Hats off to President Bush for not succumbing to the unwise and undo pressure put on him.
Thats not all, the lunacy continues. On CSPAN the other day I heard a man, usually I give the name of the person when I write but this guy made such a ridiculous statement that I will not even honor his absurdity. He said that the economic stimulus checks were a failure because people continued to drive instead of cutting back and saving oil. WHAT! Everyone I know has cut down on their driving but even if it was used for that purpose did he ever think people still need to get to work and shop. Besides, its our money anyways to spend as we see fit. Furthermore there would be no shortage if these people would allow us to build more refineries, explore and drill. What is wrong with these people? They create this mess and then they tell us drive less.
Are you ready for even more? In the recent energy bill, if this part wasn't left out of it, was: Give tax breaks for new energy efficiency programs, including the use of improved building codes and for companies that promote their employees' use of bicycles for commuting. GREAT! Just what we need. The government overseeing that employees go to work on bicycles. I do know some people take bikes to work but its there choice it shouldn't be the governments or their employer. What would the penalty be if the employee didn't follow the companies policy of riding a bike because of health reasons, would they be fired? And what about people searching for work who couldn't or can't ride a bike, would they less likely be hired? This is all madness. I could see it now in the future if this passed, they would then encourage unicycles to save the environment, one less tire is better!
Finally, the liberal left keeps telling us that lifting the drilling ban would have little if any impact on gasoline prices or produce any oil for years. So lets not do anything about this problem. Tomorrow never comes so why plan for it, using their logic this makes sense. Think how many years have passed sine Y2K or 911. Doesn't it seem like yesterday? If we would of started drilling back then, would we still have this mess? Its hard to say but this I do know, by doing nothing its only going to get worse. Much worse.
Still want to vote Democratic this November? If you do, ride a bike to the polls and show support for their policies.
