I urge all to watch this video and pass it on.

Has Anyone Seen Republican Leadership?

Doesn’t this youtube video make sense?
Government explained

Wake up…it’s almost checkmate.

Here is the video…

The man in the video is Aged 96 and still smokes a pipe.
My grandmother aged 92 still dipped Garretts snuff, as did most all of her friends/relation whom I also knew in that age bracket.
They all ate much more “unhealthy” by today’s standards, yet they died from the same causes we die from today only later in life (for the most part).

My guess as to why the above is true would be that there have been more advances in the addition of harmful chemicals for financial gain by “big business”, than beneficial research by government agencies.

Is that a fair statement?
Your comments are welcomed.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately.
All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people, It may not be used for any other purpose.
3.Congress can purchase their own retirement plan , just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5.Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6.Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.
The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

Advertisers love anything that keeps users on Facebook for longer and that is something Facebook has been brilliant at – keeping people engaged with the platform for increasingly longer periods of time.

So…is facebook a social networking site or a revenue generating site for advertisers?

• Facebook is a business.
• Their product is your personal information, internet browsing habits and time, Social Networking is just a convenient way to gather it.

Does anyone REALLY think the powers that be would piss off the military by not paying them…or by letting the Government shut down??
Another smoke screen folks that’s all it is…It remains to be seen what they are trying to keep under wraps this time….

Thanks for once again ruining the ease of using your ad-filled pages…
Thanks again for making it harder to navigate.

The term “greeter” implies that the person is in place to greet customers coming into the store, not check them as they go out.
I would question why Walmart used a lady, especially an elderly person, acting as a greeter to provide security….
A freind gave this opinion on facebook…

Nate Koch:
“There was a time when Walmart tried to be an asset to the towns it was set up in. They employed the elderly and special needs citizens and provided more products at better prices as well as promoting American values….now they sell they cheapest China made junk the can buy. The greeter is a symbol of what once was. Too bad people have lost respect for that too.”

In my opinion, Sam Walton is turning over in his grave.
