News meant for the headlines but made it to the back pages.
Governor Palin rejects 30 percent of funds from the stimulus package, she will accept only money without strings attached.
Way to go Sarah!
Congressman Steven LaTourette upset over stimulus package.
He criticized the fact that members only had 90 minutes to review the 1,071 page bill even though a measure requires 48 hours to review a bill before a vote.
Thats how bad laws are passed and how socialism is quietly making major inroads into America. Most lawmakers aren't even sure what they signed.
Camera, seat-belt proposals blocked
In case you missed it. SENATE REPUBLICANS (not Democrats) blocked plans to allow speed cameras in construction zones and to give police the power to stop motorists for not buckling up.
Thank God some common sense can still be found. Cameras should NOT be allowed in America, on private property is one thing, for the government to have them is scary. And we were about to hand over even more power to the police by allowing them to pull you over for not wearing a seat belt. Since when is it a duty of the police to baby sit? Seat belts should be you right to wear or not to wear.
More communities say no to traffic cameras
Mayor of Canton is giving up plans to install 8 cameras same in Pickerington.
But guess what? Word has it Euclid wants to start installing cameras on Rt 2 and else where. Euclid just doesn't get what it means to be a free American do they?
Lincoln Electric is buying plant in China while reducing jobs in Cleveland.
SAD!
I understand by going over seas you avoid higher wages and all the taxes and regulations here, BUT, don't the companies understand by sending out jobs who is going to be able to buy their product in the states if no one is working?
Remember on April first to send a tea bag to Washington DC. The address is: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Washington DC - 20500. This is a major protest that is going on all across America. We are tired of taxes and the erosion of our freedom, (my note: mandatory inside inspections are one such violation of my rights - no one should have the right to enter my house without a probable cause). Please send the tea bag on April first we want the bags to arrive by April 15th for the tea parties that are being organized across the country.
Clevelands April 15Th protest is being held at Mall C from 4 to 6 PM. Those who like to carpool with me just show up in my drive on that date. Nows your chance to sound off and be a part of history.
And thats a wrap!
I am doing all I can to preserve freedom, what are you doing?

A heartfelt letter from my good friend
Hey Gang,
This well written heartfelt letter from my good friend Ter in Detroit is how a lot of us feel. He wrote this in response to my email titled "My article found a home". Please read it, and remember you are not alone in your frustration.
May God help this nation.
Carey
Hey Carey,
I'm not much for writing and venting my views because I have been convinced for the past 2 decades that my small voice is just that small and insignificant when our future is in the hands of the rich and powerful.
Today we all just get in line, follow the trend or common direction we are all being led to.
Background on who I am:
Born 11/22/49 the 2nd son (of 5 children) of a hard working decorated WW2 hero and his wife, a strong quiet woman of minimal means. Mom and Dad were only High School educated yet in my heart (and I'm sure to many people) they both graduated with honors from the University of American Life with a Doctorate in hard knocks - successful survival.
I too only graduated from High School in Detroit a basic middle of the road American male of the 60's. I lived through the local racial turmoil of those years, but the way I was raised made me conscious of the terrible times Blacks were experiencing. Then again, surviving the 60's we young American males experienced, having the Viet Nam War hanging over our heads. The "Live Now, for tomorrow you may surely die" mind set was in every moment of our daily thoughts.
I served my country and left that part of life with an Honorable Discharge that sits somewhere in a box or underwear drawer safe from dust and prying eyes. It has had no bearing on my life since. I do not go to meetings of Veterans of that era or battle nor do I talk/share about it in public.
I married in '69 to my high school sweetheart. I worked for Chrysler Corporation - Dodge Truck Division for a few years but moved on when being sequestered deep in a manufacturing plant just didn't tickle my fancy or bring my special mechanical abilities to the forefront very often.
My wife and I produced 5 children who have also grown up into hard working Americans.
We struggled raising our family. We are of the (Baby Boomer) group where, without a College Degree, we both HAD to work. Her part time, me full time. My mom was an at home mom and my dad was the only bread winner. This is the America I wanted to be a part of.
I know how difficult it was for us to raise 5 children. The effort invested in this life by my wife doing double duty never goes unappreciated even today. So many times my daily efforts at work paled to what she accomplished.
I will sit the proud Grandfather of 11 healthy little new Americans by Christmas this year. I border on tears as to what this country will be for them .
We have no real savings put aside for retirement. My bad. 8 years ago my job was eliminated at a steel treating company after 26 years of faithful service that paid the bills, kept the heat on and food on the table. 2000 actually was my 1st real awakening as to where this country was going but I believed the powers to be in Washington would keep me and my family safe and prosperous.
Of course, as I was raised to do, I did bounce back and have a good position with an American air carrier today but newer and before unknown to me quirks in this country have come to light. I am amazed and awe struck at what more crazy things I learn every day.
I was a staunch Democrat until Ronald Reagan came into power. This man turned my head around. I felt safer than ever.
Since he left the Oval Office and many of his innovations and directions have been legislated out of existence, I do believe we have been slowly headed into the abyss of world financial turmoil.
American Jobs are still headed overseas. The American Green Back is not worth the paper it is printed on. The ink is another story.
I haven't heard EITHER candidate address BRINGING BACK these jobs to our soil. Only lame promises of possibly "Shutting The Barn AFTER The Horse Got Away" to stop this great loss. Not the real cure is it?
We are the slaves of Bankers, Big Business and Oil Cartels today.
There are NO lobbyists in Washington for US. I always believed that OUR President is OUR lobbyist. That's why we vote him or her into office.
Stupid, aren't I ?
As of this morning I haven't decided who to vote for, or in reality, waste my vote on. After last nights interview with Ms Palin I almost wish SHE was the lead candidate. Not going to happen is it?
We must all step back and realize we are voting in a person who may spend 50+ Million dollars to get a job that will never pay them even 1/10th of that. You must then realize that they MUST work for the people who gave them that money to win.
Wasn't any of US was it?
Thanks for listening to a Middle American again buddy.

Want to know what is happening, look back to the 1990's
Are you watching the news? Don't think for second this financial mess is all because of bad loans given out by unscrupulous bankers, its way more than that. Our dollar is falling. Our country is quickly heading into third world status and it may possibly be already to late to reverse this inevitable outcome. Our country is broke! We have exported jobs and merchandise out of this country at a furious pace while our current President was busy trying to get on board even more countries like Peru, Colombia and Panama to trade with. Haven't we had enough of free trade deals that sends our dollars and jobs out of here?
Oh and some of you beat the drum of where is our Great American Savior of the middle class Bill Clinton when we need him? Remember folks, he did more damage than any other president. It was under his watch the Chinese Trade Agreement was signed. It was under his administration that Long Beach Naval Base was sold to the Chinese to unleash a barrage of cheap goods that has taken away our jobs. And then there was NAFTA heralded by Bush Sr. and put on fast track and signed by Clinton, the Defender of the American worker, yeah right.
The free trade agreements are some of the reasons why our country is in a mess. Do you think Obama/Biden two Liberal Socialists with globalist views, expanded government and higher taxes is the answer? C'mon don't make me laugh. McCain, nope. Sarah Palin? I hope that she is as conservative as they say. Maybe her conservative thinking can hold sway over McCain and direct his path back to protecting American workers and jobs.
May God help us.
Look at these links. Especially the first one. Make sure you pay attention to the words of ROBERT SCOTT.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/asia/july-dec99/wto_11-15.html
Early today (11/15/99), President Clinton announced the finalization of trade agreements between the United States and China that will make it possible for China to join the World Trade Organization.
Under the terms of the agreement, China will remove its existing trade barriers and be granted permanent normal trade relations (NTR) status by the U.S., thus allowing Beijing favored access to U.S. markets.

Newly declassified documents show that President Bill Clinton personally approved the transfer to China of advanced space technology that can be used for nuclear combat.
The documents show that in 1996 Clinton approved the export of radiation hardened chip sets to China. The specialized chips are necessary for fighting a nuclear war.
Said Obama, "One million jobs have been lost because of NAFTA, including nearly 50,000 jobs here in Ohio. And yet, 10 years after NAFTA passed, Sen. Clinton said it was good for America. Well, I don't think NAFTA has been good for America -- and I never have."
And then Obama said:
"I don't think its realistic for us to repeal NAFTA," he said during a town hall meeting on the economy.
Clinton during the signing of NAFTA
.......In a fundamental sense, this debate about NAFTA is a
debate about whether we will embrace these changes and create the jobs
of tomorrow, or try to resist these changes, hoping we can preserve
the economic structures of yesterday.
(And what was wrong with preserving the economic structure of American jobs and our way of life? Fair trade not free trade!)
We have to tell American workers who
will be dislocated because of this agreement or because of things that
will happen regardless of this agreement, that we are going to have a
reemployment program for training in America, and we intend to do
that.
President Clinton
Do the research people, do the research!!!

Everyone has been asking Carey's opinion, here it is
Friends,
Everyone has been asking since it was revealed that Sarah Palin was McCains choice for VP what I think. Heres my thoughts on it.
I know I am violating President Reagans rule of never speaking ill of a fellow Republican and especially during the convention I should be careful not to take the momentum gained by the GOP but I am tired of seeing my country undergo a systematic destruction of values and way of life that has made America great. And thats how I feel, its my country, as you should take what's happening here in your homeland as personal also. My opinion is this, Senator McCain as well as the GOP is having a hard time finding itself. First Senator McCain snubs the Values Voters debate held in September '07. Then more recently he tried to distance himself from Pastor John Hagee and Pastor Rod Parsley. Are those Conservative principles? Don't think for a second I'm giving Barrack Hussein Obama a free pass, he didn't attend the Value Voters debate either. But he did attend a conference more in line with the Democratic platform. That forum was for the Gays - Lesbian - Bi's and Transgenders. All of you remember this right? Obama catered to his base but McCain forgot what makes the GOP the GOP, the true Conservative. Likewise the Republican party seems to be disjointed. This is a party that is applauding the choice of Sarah Palin as VP, has on stage former candidates Governor Huckabee and Represantative Ron Paul alongside of Governor Romney who supported the homosexual agenda and cross dressing Mayor Giuliani. It doesn't add up, does it?
So, either Senator McCain chose Governor Palin strictly as a political maneuver to trump Obama, he realized that he can't win without a Conservative base or he is what I have been saying he should run as, a moderate that can bring both sides together. How else can you explain having former Democratic presidential hopeful Al Gores running mate Senator Joe Lieberman stumping for you and then choosing a vice president as conservative as Sarah Palin? That shows signs of being able to reach across the aisle for unity.
In the end it really all comes down to Governor Sarah Palin. She has the weight of not only possibly being the first woman vice president but also carries the hopes of the conservative cause. Palin has a chance to set the standard for future women candidates and put the Republican agenda back on course. If she fails, it will be a set back for the Conservative Right but even a bigger set back for women.
Knowing nothing about Governor Palin until just recently I don't have much to go on other than judging her from her speech last night at the Republican Convention. I found her to be forceful when needed, humorous in other spots, her delivery was of a person with confidence, her voice was calm and reassuring unlike Hillary's that can make you wince, in all she hit a home run, no make that a grand slam and in doing so she made Senator McCain look brilliant.
