I don't usually post anything personal, but today I just need a friend.
Last July, the doctors diagnosed my husband of 48 years with lung cancer. He's nearing his last days, and I'm having trouble dealing with the inevitable.
It feels like the sun is dying with him, and I don't know what to do. Seeing him breaks my heart, but the thought of not seeing him tears out my soul.
My children are hurting as much as I am, and it's killing me to see them try to hide their suffering to ease my pain. They must forget that I know them better than anyone.
I keep asking myself: Is this a test of faith? Why would the Lord want to do that to me? I'm not perfect, but I've always been faithful.
Then I think, maybe He just wants to take my husband home because He misses him, misses the laughter, the ever-present smile, the michieviousness in those beautiful blue eyes, the happiness he brings, the way he touches the deepest part those around him.
I don't know the Lord's reasons, but I do know I desperately need Him to help me through this.

Dream Act? Or Yet Another Washington Nightmare?
Harry Reid is trying to convince Congress and The People that his 'Dream Act' bill will be good for everyone.
In what world?
He claims that these poor youngsters were brought here as small children by their illegal parents (through no fault of their own), and this is the only life they've ever known.
So what Reid is actually saying is We The People have been paying for these illegal aliens for decades, and now he wants them to have more.
What is it about illegal that Harry Reid doesn't understand?
And why now? Why is this issue suddenly so urgent? Reid knows we're in the middle of a recession and trying to cut spending. So why would he propose another $6B annual spending bill on America right now?
What's wrong with requiring these youngsters to become legal immigrants like all before them--instead of offering yet another free hand-out?
I think something smells in Washington--and it's coming from Harry Reid's office.
NO 'DREAM ACT'.

Congress Needs To Start Living In The Real World
Those in Washington honestly believe that a tax hike to the rich wouldn't affect jobs. Whoever taught them about economics should be fired.
The naive believers in 'Washington economics' say Bush didn't create jobs when he kept tax cuts in place for ten years.
Excuse me?
Until it became apparent that Obama was going to be elected president, the unemployment rate was at 5%. Most everyone had a job. The economy was sluggish, but we weren't nearly bankrupt.
After Obama was elected, unemployment went up to 7%. No viable company wants to hire in an uncertain environment.
Then Obama (and Pelosi) pushed through a health care reform bill that no one wanted except Obama and 'his' congress--and unemployment skyrocketed to neary 10%.
And it's stayed there because every month there is another push for more spending, more taxes, another bid for amnesty, bailouts, and on and on.
Yet those in Congress can't admit they've made some terrible mistakes. And worse, they've done nothing to correct them. The only things they have done in Washington has been to help their financial backers and try to give money and a vote to those who bypassed our immigration laws and entered this country illegally.
Our government has become destructive to The People.
Washington apparently hasn't read the Declaration of Independence. They don't grasp the fact that we can 'abolish' and 'replace' a destructive government anytime we choose.
Excerpt from the Declaration: (to see the whole Declaration go to:
http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html)
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Listen to us, Washington. "No amnesty. No tax hikes. No bailouts. No Obamacare."
Any questions?

Our Elected Officials Only Have Power As Long As We The People Allow Them The Priviledge
Somewhere along the line, our President, Congress, Senators, and Legislators didn't grasp the part of their schooling about being representatives of The People.
They didn't understand (and still don't) that they only have power as long as We The People allow it.
This whole election uproar is because the men and women we elected to represent us refused to listen when we spoke. Who on earth convinced them that they knew what was best for us?
They ignored our voice and spent outrageous amounts of OUR money, passed destructive bills that we voiced (very loudly) that we didn't want, they put our country and people at risk by failing to do their job by securing the borders, and the President even ignored our representatives to pass executive orders that no one wanted. What kind of government does this?
Not ours.
Obama wanted change, but the change was for Washington.
We demand change, and we will have it...for America, not politicians.
And no one will stand in our way to make this country whole again.
Tomorrow America votes. Maybe Washington will hear us this time.
VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS

CBS Trying To Set Up Alaska Candidate Joe Miller
What is happening with our country? How could an American icon like CBS even consider an attempt to set up a political candidate?
Is this where the Democrat campaign money is going now? To buy the news media?
This despicable company needs to have its license revoked.

Harry Reid In Voter Fraud Scandal
Reid's supporters, SEIU, were in charge of setting up the voting machines in Nevada. Strangely, as voters went to their machines to cast their ballots, Harry Reid's name was already checked.
As soon as the story was reported on the airways, oddly enough, the check mark disappeared, and Clark County, NV claimed the people (several of them) who reported this anomaly had made a mistake.
I'm sure they did. But isn't in convenient that the machines miraculously corrected themselves before the authorities got there to check them?
Another Dem ploy? Probably. Their only concern is the power of their party...not what The People want. Bad mistake. They've forgotten that they work for us, not their party--and we can fire them.
There is something seriously wrong with the thought process of the current congress. Why else would they even consider passing bills without reading them? If they think they're too long, then the decision-makers should wait until they can find the time to read them before making such an enormous, life-altering decision. What was the hurry anyway? To give Obama what he considered to be a feather in his cap? Too bad it fell out.
This election isn't about parties and issues as much as it's about saving our county from radical extremists who follow Obama's dream of a world order, one that does not include the freedoms we enjoy.

Unions Are Spending Millions And Millions To Keep Democrats In Power
I can't believe how much money the Union bosses are spending on Dems. Last I heard, its at 87.5 million, in addition to the 50 million the Dems themselves are spending. And bussing voters to re-elect Dems? Why? Are they that desperate?
Yes.
It's simple really. If Democrats lose power to the new Republican party (who actually care about the people it represents), then the Union bosses will no longer have control of Washington. They will no longer receive 'special interest' projects. No more big money contracts that should have gone to the working public. No more power to sway politicians and congress.
But most of all, they're afraid a new congress will eliminate the Unions entirely--leaving job openings for ALL people.
Take Back America!
VOTE OUT ALL INCUMBENTS.
