A Comment Worthy Of A Post 7-1-14
Chuck Cook is violently attacking Republicans on this issue as far as saying kick them out in November. He is twisting it by saying Republicans and Corporations are controlling health care.

American women, It's now official: the Conservatives on the Supreme Court have decided that your employer now has the right to make your health care decisions for you. Not you. Not your doctor. You, apparently, aren't capable of making that decision for yourselves.
Let it be noted that the Republican Party supports this move to deny you your own health care decisions.
Remember this in November.

The Next Fire Palace In Salisbury
Station 2 is on the fast track of disappearing and a brand new Fire Station will be built. Here's the deal though. The new Fire Station will cost the taxpayers around $4,000,000.00+ while the old Fire Station 2 can be completely rebuilt to code for less than $2,000,000.00, (HALF) and they can even add on a second floor to the old Station 2.
Even without the second floor, (GET THIS) the old Station 2 will still have MORE ROOM than the new one.
There's a lot more information coming to the surface on this project but I'm waiting on confirmation before I expose another BIG story on this project. More to come...
So as a taxpayer, what's your thoughts on paying double and getting less space?

Proposed tax could charge Md. drivers for every mile they drive
ROCKVILLE, Md. - Imagine having a GPS tracker installed in your car that would monitor each mile you drive. Then you would be charged a fee for each of those miles. It is just an idea for now, but it has already got people in Maryland fired up.
It's called the “Vehicle Miles Travelled" tax or VMT tax. The way it would work is a GPS tracker or odometer reading would keep track of a driver's mileage. That number would be reported to the government and then the driver would be charged a fee per mile.
AAA Mid-Atlantic's John Townsend says it is the worst of ideas.
“This would be the third rail of politics – if you touch it, you die – and no politician with half a brain would even fathom this,” he says.
Supporters say it could be good for the environment and help to cut emissions and discourage driving.
But others say the tax would hurt middle and lower income families who may live further away to afford housing.
“People are working two or three jobs just to make a living,” said one resident we spoke with. “And this would be very bad for them.”

Our 4th Of July
Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured.
Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners; men of means, well-educated, but they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals, or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson,Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.
So, take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday and silently thank these patriots. It's not much to ask for the price they paid.
Remember: freedom is never free!
We thank these early patriots, as well as those patriots now fighting to KEEP our freedom!

Target Asks Customers To Leave Firearms At Home
In a statement posted Wednesday on the retailer's corporate blog, interim CEO John Mulligan said that Target wants a "safe and inviting" atmosphere for its shoppers and employees.
"This is a complicated issue, but it boils down to a simple belief: Bringing firearms to Target creates an environment that is at odds with the family-friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create," he said.
In many states, carrying unconcealed guns in public is legal.
