"Joe, my ammunition contact advises me that after he is out of ammo this time, there is no way to know when he will get more .223, 7.62, 9mm, or .45. Apparently the military procurement section put it to two major ammo manufacturers this way - (Federal and Winchester) if you want to continue to do business with us you will sign an agreement to sell this type of ammo ONLY to us for a 5 year period. This will drive the price of Remington ammo through the roof. I don't know what the reason for this was unless the government is expecting an increase in ammo use. The only other reason is that they fear an armed conflict with our citizens is inevitable and that this is a way to interrupt ammo supply without coming right out and saying it. This and the report of a large meeting and training operation being held by citizen militias from 8 states in North Carolina next month makes me believe that something is coming to a head rather quickly. You called it months ago and if this thing starts it will not end quickly."
Editors Note: You are exactly correct. As I'm confident you know. my source happens to be one of the biggest in the United States as we saw this coming quite some time ago. My biggest fear is the absolute fact that the MSM has yet to make any comment or publish any material referencing this change.
While many wonder who I am or what I'm all about, thinking I'm just some guy on the Eastern Shore with a big mouth through a Blog, they are completely clueless of my past, who I know and where I came from. I can deliver this kind of news because I do have the right contacts. The MSM watches Salisbury News because we can deliver information they were either clueless about and or afraid to tell anyone in fear of panic. No, I'm NOT saying we're better than them. I'm simply saying I have some unbelievable contacts thoughout the United States in several fields that happen to be hot topics at this point and time.
The writing was on the wall quite some time ago and it was ignored. Why, I really can't answer that but one has to wonder just how hushed up Bloggers like me will be subjected to in the near future by the Obama Administration. It is not, nor will it ever be our intent to harm this Administration. It is our intent to simply expose the reality of these kinds of issues at hand and let the public decide where to go from there.
As for activities to the Carolina's, you have more knowledge to that information than I do. I'm sure if I made some calls I could learn more but quite frankly I'm afraid to even ask as I'm confident ONE conversation about this issue would take me completely away from all other issues, (especially local ones) for months. I fear things are further along than anyone ever knew, hence your mention of meetings next month.
I also happen to know that meetings have been going on for about 2 years now internally with the Reserves practicing for a militia situation as far back as the Katrina situation, (as I recall). So the Government is aware of what's going on but it's scary to think so many are considering taking up arms to fight back.
That being said, my biggest challenge to any of those conversations have been, OK, let's say it actually happens. What's the game plan? Who would take over the United States? I know people are angry and scared but without ammunition and leadership, IMHO, it's all talk.
Anyhow, I'll leave room for discussion and let's see if anyone was even aware of any of this going on.

Abusing School Kids With Pro-Obama Propaganda
Radio talk-show host Michael Medved
"My wife Diane seldom gets upset about politics. But President Barack Obama's recent demonstration of megalomania in insisting on beginning the school year by simultaneously addressing all public school kids in the United States elicited a concise response: 'it's sick.' In addition to her Ph.D. in psychology, Diane holds an M.A. in Education, and both primary and secondary teaching credentials in California. She has raised and educated our three kids, each of whom received some combination of home schooling, parochial education, and public schools. What bothers her (and many courageous teachers across the country) is the crude attempt by the Department of Education and the White House to blur all distinctions between education and cult-of-personality propaganda. On September 8th ... the President will address them live about the importance of education. ... To prepare for this great event, the Department of Education orders teachers in Grades 7 to 12 to ask their students: Why does President Obama want to speak with us today? How will he inspire us? How will he challenge us? ... For those who consider this an appropriate use of classroom time at the very beginning of the school year, ask yourself the question: how would you respond had President Bush ordered teachers to get students to write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president? ... The idea of using government schools to force students to bond with the maximum leader might seem appropriate for Cuba or North Korea, but it's clearly out of place in a Constitutional republic..."
LABOR DAY REVIEW OF UNIONS
"Labor day is a good time to review the history of labor unions in this country. There was a time when the unions were vital to better the conditions of the American worker. As the President celebrates with the AFL-CIO we should examine what is being celebrated. It could be that the first child labor laws were passed in 1836 in Massachusetts. It might be the formation of the coal miners union in the 1870's or the railroad workers in 1877, perhaps it was 1905 when the ILGWU helped put an end to sweat shops. More likely it is the fact that labor unions are a large group of supporters of the Democrat party.
Maybe the celebration has to do with the demise of many airlines, the steel industry or ship building in this country. All driven out by high labor costs. After all, as Democrats are fond to point out, Industry is evil. Why then has union membership declined from 33% of the workforce, in 1955 to 12.5% today? Workers in the public sector make up 36.5% of today's union workers. Without government help the percentage would most likely be lower. Unions have become just another minority group and we should celebrate their victories with the same fervor as the victory in the Spanish-American War."

UK Court Convicts 3 Of Plot To Blow Up Airliners
LONDON — Three British Muslims were convicted Monday of plotting to murder thousands by downing at least seven airliners bound for the U.S. and Canada in what was intended as the largest terrorist attack since Sept. 11.
A jury at a London court found Abdulla Ahmed Ali, 28, Assad Sarwar, 29, and Tanvir Hussain, 28, guilty of conspiracy to murder by detonating explosives on aircraft while they were in-flight.
Four other alleged conspirators — whom the prosecution said were to have smuggled liquid explosives onboard jetliners disguised as soft drinks — were acquitted of conspiring to blow up planes. The jury could not reach a verdict on an eighth man.
British and U.S. security officials said the plan — unlike many recent homegrown European terrorist plots — was directly linked to al-Qaida and guided by senior Islamic militants in Pakistan, who hoped to mount a spectacular strike on the West.

Theft Suspect Caught In The Act
Theft Suspect Caught in the Act, Also Wearing a Stolen Trooper Anniversary Watch
Location: Parking lot of the TGI Fridays on Rocky Run Parkway, Wilmington, Delaware, New Castle County
Date of Occurrence: Sunday, September 6, 2009, at 2:05 p.m.
Suspect(s): Angel Cruz, 54, of East Orleans Street in Philadelphia, PA
Resume: The following story outlines a real good reason to never give up hope when a treasured item is lost or stolen.
In the early afternoon hours on Sunday, September 6th, a State Trooper and his family had patroned the TGI Fridays on Rocky Run Parkway. After an early dinner, the officer was walking back to his vehicle in the rear parking when he took notice to a maroon Chevrolet Blazer positioned extremely close to his own car. As he walked a little closer, the Blazer drove away. The officer entered his vehicle and saw that someone had just burglarized his car by popping the passenger side door lock. A later inventory revealed his wife's wallet was stolen. The Trooper drove home to drop his wife off to make some calls and cancel their credit cards. He then got into his police car and headed back out to check the area for the Chevrolet Blazer.
After circling a few businesses on Route 202, the Trooper located the Blazer in the parking lot of the Sears at the Concord Mall. As the officer approached he noticed a male suspect leaning into an SUV parked next to the Blazer. This male subject was observed rummaging through the glove box. The Trooper identified himself and the suspect immediately leapt back into the Blazer. The driver's side door was ajar and the Trooper attempted to take this subject into custody. A struggle ensued and the suspect backed his vehicle up with the Trooper hanging from the door. The Trooper was able to put the suspect vehicle in park and detain the thief. Other Troopers arrived and the suspect was taken into custody without further incident. He was identified as Angel Cruz.
Let's back up a couple of years. On December 21st of 2007, another State Trooper was patroning a business along the 4100 block of Concord Pike. While he was shopping, an unknown suspect had burglarized his vehicle and stole his State Police identification and credentials. The suspect also stole the Trooper's 20-year-anniversary watch, which meant a great deal to the officer. He believed at this time that he would not see his watch again- hope certainly dwindled away as time passed by.
Fast forward to September 6 of 2009. With Cruz in custody, he was searched and was wearing a DSP Troopers anniversary watch. It later proved to be the watch stolen in 2007. Cruz had modified the watch so that the months on the time dial were changed from English to Spanish. A computer check revealed the Chevrolet Blazer was a stolen vehicle out of Philadelphia. Cruz was also in possession of other stolen credit cards.
He was transported back to Troop 1 for processing. While there, he requested medical assistance. Cruz was transported to Wilmington Hospital and admitted for observation. In the meantime, warrants were prepared. Cruz was formally charged with the following offenses: Reckless Endangering (felony), Theft (misdemeanor), Receiving Stolen Property (felony), Resisting Arrest (felony), three counts of Criminal Mischief (misdemeanor) and three counts of Receiving Stolen Property (misdemeanor). Bail information was not available at the time of this release.

Here's My Problem With Obama's Televised Speech
First of all let me start by saying ONE person sent in a ton of comments on Obama's official speech, one after the other. Since they pretty much said the same thing, I let one up and dumped the rest. Clearly, ONE Democrat thought they'd be a smart a$$ and make them self look like they were multiple people and their short comments went up about every two minutes, one after the other. I've been doing this for almost 5 years now, I know when someone is playing games.
The way I see it is, if you want to play that game, go back to your own Blog and have your voice be heard there. Don't come here and play that game, just as you all tried to do with Kratovil/Harris. It's NOT that I don't want to hear the other side, I do. The problem is, you guys want to attempt to take over this Blog with your line of thinking simply because you cannot achieve the same kind of traffic we get here daily. Non-cents, I gave you that chance and you blew it. You and your hand full of "chat room" followers need to earn your voice on the Internet and based on your Alexa numbers, you're the second least visited Blog on the Eastern Shore, second to the Tattler, who only gets about 5 visitors per day.
OK, now that I've cleared the air on that matter, what will be said AFTER the televised speech. I'm more concerned about the wet pants liberal Teachers spewing their stupidity upon our incorrigible children. Will there be a format AFTER the speech? Will there be assignments AFTER the speech? What will happen to those children who's parents refused to allow them to participate?
While I'm sure Mr. Obama's intentions are good, there's more to this than meets the eye and I believe many parents are naive to the aftermath. I'll even be so bold as to say, Obama hasn't done any GOOD for America since he's been in Office, yet his cool aid drinkers continue to swallow the punch, pounding their chest because their Messiah was victorious. Most of them young, broke and incorrigible themselves, believing things will get better and not worse. They have yet to open their eyes to the reality of what the rest of America is seeing and damn those voices, (like mine) for exposing him to these realities.
God Forbid we expose the multiple Bank closings, half a trillion dollars disappearing and NOT ONE PERSONAL ACCOUNTABLE FOR IT and the list goes on and on. Unemployment skyrocketing, yet the MSM talks about new homes sold at a record pace and all the rest of the BS cool aide drinkers, (FOLLOWERS) want to believe because they're so blind.
I'll tell you what DEMOCRATS, here's a 100% fail proof plan that will work for the Messiah. Show it on a cable TV program at 7:00 PM instead. You know, let the PARENTS choose if their children should see it or not. Nah, they/you have more CONTROL over brainwashing OUR children in a/your controlled environment.
I'll even be so bold as to say, I do NOT like this President. I personally believe he was set up to fail and Congress is loving every single minute of this. I personally think it's a shame that the first Black President is being used as a scape goat for all of the screw ups from previous Presidents but guess what, you all fell for it, you all wanted it, you all deal with it. The man was NEVER Presidential material but like MOST Democrats who are FOLLOWERS and not LEADERS, 3 years from now you'll be back in the passenger seat and by that time NO ONE will know who to trust or believe.
America is in a screwed up state right now and quite frankly, the older I get the more I worry for each and every one of you. Let's NOT forget the Civil War when Soldiers would walk right up to your front door and demand you leave or they'd burn it down. Folks, they aren't taking away the guns but what good are they if you can't buy ammo! I have it by good sources that our Government signed contracts with TWO of the largest ammunition manufacturers agreeing to purchase EVERYTHING they manufacture for the next 5 years. Don't even think you can stockpile ammunition right now because guess what, it's too late.
Everything you have can be taken away in a matter of seconds, like it or not. Don't come back here with the tin foil hat crap or the sky is falling crap. I'm old enough and wise enough to see the writing on the wall and far too often history does repeat itself. I'm NOT naive enough to see these signs and NOT be concerned as to why our own Government would all of a sunned lock out the two largest ammunition manufacturers. They have been watching certain groups, they have been silencing the media and guess what, NONE of you have read ANYTHING about the 5 year contract the government recently made with these manufacturers.
Yeah, it's easy to sit back and say, Joe's losing it, he's going off the deep end. Tell me that in another two years or so. However, how STUPID will you feel when my statements become a reality. Show the program in the evening when "we the people" have the choice who will or will not see the speech. Let US raise and handle our own loved ones. Don't apply additional pressure on our children to be an outcast if we choose not to allow them to see it.
I'd rather sit back and be prepared for the worst than be a FOLLOWER, following a guy who is so damn clueless he has to pray on small children.
Ah, who cares, right?

Prepared Remarks Of President Barack Obama Back To School Event
The President: Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today? I’m here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I’m glad you all could join us today.
I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.
I know that feeling. When I was young, my family lived in Indonesia for a few years, and my mother didn’t have the money to send me where all the American kids went to school. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself, Monday through Friday – at 4:30 in the morning.
Now I wasn’t too happy about getting up that early. A lot of times, I’d fall asleep right there at the kitchen table. But whenever I’d complain, my mother would just give me one of those looks and say, "This is no picnic for me either, buster."
So I know some of you are still adjusting to being back at school. But I’m here today because I have something important to discuss with you. I’m here because I want to talk with you about your education and what’s expected of all of you in this new school year.
Now I’ve given a lot of speeches about education. And I’ve talked a lot about responsibility.
I’ve talked about your teachers’ responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.
I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making sure you stay on track, and get your homework done, and don’t spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with that Xbox.
I’ve talked a lot about your government’s responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working where students aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve.
But at the end of the day, we can have the most dedicated teachers, the most supportive parents, and the best schools in the world – and none of it will matter unless all of you fulfill your responsibilities. Unless you show up to those schools; pay attention to those teachers; listen to your parents, grandparents and other adults; and put in the hard work it takes to succeed.
And that’s what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.
Every single one of you has something you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That’s the opportunity an education can provide.
Maybe you could be a good writer – maybe even good enough to write a book or articles in a newspaper – but you might not know it until you write a paper for your English class. Maybe you could be an innovator or an inventor – maybe even good enough to come up with the next iPhone or a new medicine or vaccine – but you might not know it until you do a project for your science class. Maybe you could be a mayor or a Senator or a Supreme Court Justice, but you might not know that until you join student government or the debate team.
And no matter what you want to do with your life – I guarantee that you’ll need an education to do it. You want to be a doctor, or a teacher, or a police officer? You want to be a nurse or an architect, a lawyer or a member of our military? You’re going to need a good education for every single one of those careers. You can’t drop out of school and just drop into a good job. You’ve got to work for it and train for it and learn for it.
And this isn’t just important for your own life and your own future. What you make of your education will decide nothing less than the future of this country. What you’re learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future.
You’ll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You’ll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.
We need every single one of you to develop your talents, skills and intellect so you can help solve our most difficult problems. If you don’t do that – if you quit on school – you’re not just quitting on yourself, you’re quitting on your country.
Now I know it’s not always easy to do well in school. I know a lot of you have challenges in your lives right now that can make it hard to focus on your schoolwork.
I get it. I know what that’s like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn’t always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn’t fit in.
So I wasn’t always as focused as I should have been. I did some things I’m not proud of, and got in more trouble than I should have. And my life could have easily taken a turn for the worse.
But I was fortunate. I got a lot of second chances and had the opportunity to go to college, and law school, and follow my dreams. My wife, our First Lady Michelle Obama, has a similar story. Neither of her parents had gone to college, and they didn’t have much. But they worked hard, and she worked hard, so that she could go to the best schools in this country.
Some of you might not have those advantages. Maybe you don’t have adults in your life who give you the support that you need. Maybe someone in your family has lost their job, and there’s not enough money to go around. Maybe you live in a neighborhood where you don’t feel safe, or have friends who are pressuring you to do things you know aren’t right.
But at the end of the day, the circumstances of your life – what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you’ve got going on at home – that’s no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That’s no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That’s no excuse for not trying.
Where you are right now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end up. No one’s written your destiny for you. Here in America, you write your own destiny. You make your own future.
That’s what young people like you are doing every day, all across America.
Young people like Jazmin Perez, from Roma, Texas. Jazmin didn’t speak English when she first started school. Hardly anyone in her hometown went to college, and neither of her parents had gone either. But she worked hard, earned good grades, got a scholarship to Brown University, and is now in graduate school, studying public health, on her way to being Dr. Jazmin Perez.
I’m thinking about Andoni Schultz, from Los Altos, California, who’s fought brain cancer since he was three. He’s endured all sorts of treatments and surgeries, one of which affected his memory, so it took him much longer – hundreds of extra hours – to do his schoolwork. But he never fell behind, and he’s headed to college this fall.
And then there’s Shantell Steve, from my hometown of Chicago, Illinois. Even when bouncing from foster home to foster home in the toughest neighborhoods, she managed to get a job at a local health center; start a program to keep young people out of gangs; and she’s on track to graduate high school with honors and go on to college.
Jazmin, Andoni and Shantell aren’t any different from any of you. They faced challenges in their lives just like you do. But they refused to give up. They chose to take responsibility for their education and set goals for themselves. And I expect all of you to do the same.
That’s why today, I’m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education – and to do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending time each day reading a book. Maybe you’ll decide to get involved in an extracurricular activity, or volunteer in your community. Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn. Maybe you’ll decide to take better care of yourself so you can be more ready to learn. And along those lines, I hope you’ll all wash your hands a lot, and stay home from school when you don’t feel well, so we can keep people from getting the flu this fall and winter.
Whatever you resolve to do, I want you to commit to it. I want you to really work at it.
I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work -- that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.
But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. You won’t click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try.
That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected twelve times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures define you – you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. If you get in trouble, that doesn’t mean you’re a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to behave. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.
No one’s born being good at things, you become good at things through hard work.
You’re not a varsity athlete the first time you play a new sport. You don’t hit every note the first time you sing a song. You’ve got to practice. It’s the same with your schoolwork. You might have to do a math problem a few times before you get it right, or read something a few times before you understand it, or do a few drafts of a paper before it’s good enough to hand in.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit when you don’t know something, and to learn something new. So find an adult you trust – a parent, grandparent or teacher; a coach or counselor – and ask them to help you stay on track to meet your goals.
And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged, and you feel like other people have given up on you – don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.
It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.
So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country?
Your families, your teachers, and I are doing everything we can to make sure you have the education you need to answer these questions. I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn. But you’ve got to do your part too. So I expect you to get serious this year. I expect you to put your best effort into everything you do. I expect great things from each of you. So don’t let us down – don’t let your family or your country or yourself down. Make us all proud. I know you can do it.
Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is tapping a member of his auto industry task force to advise him on manufacturing.
Obama chose a Labor Day union picnic as the backdrop to announce his selection of Ron Bloom as senior counselor for manufacturing policy. Bloom planned to travel to Cincinnati with Obama for an afternoon announcement at the AFL-CIO event.

Who is he to set policy on manufacturing. Policy should be set by the owners of the companies - not the President. Any more questions about whether or not this is becoming a socialist nation?
We Missed A Huge Birthday This Week
Dearest Brookie:
Guess what?? Today is my birthday and I am one year old! (that’s actually 7 years in dog years – which means I am now older than you!) I had a BIG day, a SPECIAL day! It was full of fun things, like 3 walks, breakfast with liverwurst on it, and lots of toys, (one is REALLY loud and Dr. Dave said he can’t wait to hear it when he is dead asleep) and a new tag which the Dog Walkers, made sure was pink because they know how much you and I love pink! And Daddy stopped over to wish me a Happy Birthday – I was SO excited to see him! I jumped so high that my back feet left the ground!
The only thing missing from my big day was YOU. I miss you bunches, and I know you would rather be here celebrating with me, but in just one week, you should be home and then let the party begin. (You are going to have a birthday party for me – right??) I am so proud of you! You completed all your chemo and did it with grace. You are such a strong little girl.
You want to know something funny. Yesterday, the house phone rang at the same time as Miss Liz’s cell phone. Well, at the same time I was at the back door wanting to go out, so Miss Liz let me out and went to answer all the phones. Well, just a short time later Miss Liz goes to call me in and Oh-Oh – little did she know the sprinkler system was on in the backyard, and I had played in the water to my hearts content and then decided that the mulch was wet and most likely needed to be dug up! I think Miss Liz was in utter amazement in what havoc incurred in such a short span. I was utterly amazed that I needed another bath so soon. (P.S. Miss Liz was a little late for her appointment.)
I am looking forward to seeing you soon.
Puppy kisses and belly rubs,
Bailey birthday doggie
A Brooke Mulford Update
Sunday, September 6, 2009 2:38 AM, EDT
Hello to everyone, many thanks for all the support and prayers everyone has blessed our family with. It is so wonderful to see Brooke starting to come back around. I also must say a blessing for Amy to be able to be there everyday and watch over Brooke and be able to keep everyone more informed with her updates. That has been a wonderful blessing for me to get a little more sleep and at the same time provide a new perspective on this journey that only a mother can do. For me; things have begun to catch up with me and I am struggling with work, hospital bills, keeping up with the house and finding time to visit. Then I just think of Brooke and go; how can I complain and I go about going ahead. It also helps to have everyone still everyday blessing our family and giving our family words of encouragement and lots of support.
My main reason though tonight for writing is on a sad note and something that I am having a hard time with. I did go up to CHOP on a whim and surprise Amy and Brooke, but it was because I needed to see them like I never have before. I got home late Thursday night after work and did my usual by logging in to the computer and checking WBOC, WMDT and Salisbury News on line and after reading a posting on Salisbury News (sbynews.com) I was brought to my knees in prayer and tears. Beautiful young Kara Adams from Delmar lost her battle with the Beast! As you can imagine this hits home hard. Every day is just so important and in this battle you just can not assume anything or take anything for granted! As everyone goes into another day tomorrow please say a prayer for her family and just remember how precious life is. I just have no words to explain what I am feeling right now, except to know she is not suffering anymore and to pray for her family. Just remember Cancer does not discriminate and it is everybody’s job to help find the cures to fight this horrible disease. Kara you will be terribly missed by your family, friends, community, people you never knew and everybody’s life you ever touched.
Also please have the community of Georgetown and the family and friends of Patrolman Chad Spicer in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow while you are in church. Thank you to all the people who protect us and fight for our freedom; you are truly thought of more than you know and are loved for what you do!
Rob, Brooke’s Daddy!

Social Security 2009
I COULDN'T forward this FAST enough..........!!
2010 is an election year for 1/3 of the senate and 1/2 of the house of representatives. It would be nice if congress got the message; the voting taxpayers are in charge now.
Social Security 2009
LET US SHOW OUR LEADERS IN WASHINGTON "PEOPLE POWER" AND THE POWER OF THE INTERNET. PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS.
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT!
KEEP IT GOING!!!!
Propose this in 2009:
START A BILL TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY
SOCIAL SECURITY:
(This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.)
Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years.
Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it.
You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan.
In more recent years, no congress person has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan.
For all practical purposes their plan works like this:
When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die.
Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments. .....
For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7, 800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275, 000..00 during the last years of their lives.
This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries.
Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives.
Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. ZIP!! NADA!!! ZILCH!!!
This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds;
"OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"!
From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into, every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer ), We can expect to get an average of
$1,000 per month after retirement.
Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator Bill Bradley's benefits!
Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made.
That change would be to
Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. . Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us
Then sit back.....
And see how fast they would fix it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve.
How many people can YOU send this to?
Better yet......
How many people WILL you send this to?
P.S. The same goes for their healthplan

Time to rally the common folk!
This guy's video on youtube has been so popular that Obama called him personally. He said that he was very disturbed with the video and invited him to the White House. Obama also said he wanted the White House to handle Press and not to talk about the video or the White House visit.
That's interesting.
Watch it now. This may be the best six minutes invested in your future.
You may have to turn your Sound Control up some.

Hawaii Refuses To Air Obama
Hawaii State Department of Education says:
Obama speech will NOT be shown in Hawaii classrooms.
In a memo dated 090309, the Department, stated:
“The following broadcast details are for information purposes only. The Hawaii State Department of Education WILL NOT be taping the broadcast and replaying it for our students. Parents who would like their child to see President Barack Obama’s speech can download a video of the speech at their convenience.”
I guess he no longer is Hawaii's a "Favorite Son".

Pickin' Up My Welfare Check
A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check.
He marched straight up to the counter and said, ' Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job.'
The social worker behind the counter said, Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter.
You'll have to drive around in his 2008 Mercedes CL, and he will supply all of your clothes. Because of the long hours meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips.
This is rather awkward to say but you will also have as part of your job assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive. A two- bedroom loft type apartment with plasma TV, stereo, bar, etc. located above the garage will be designated for your sole use and the salary is $200,000 a year.'
The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, 'You're bull$hittin' me!'
The social worker said, 'Yeah, well, you started it'.
