Ron Rushing, Candidate for the Florida State Senate 2012, Challenges Local Elected Officials to Genuinely Show Their Gratitude to Veterans!


Windermere, FL: Ron Rushing is thankful to our military veterans. Ron says, “I hold a high regard and respect for someone who is willing to put their life on the line for me and my family. These patriots are courageous and lion-hearted and deserve to be honored by all Americans.”

“I’ve said this before, but will say it again; each morning, I am blessed to wake up to a cozy environment with my wife, son and daughter all tucked away in our beds. I am able to have this cozy life because God has blessed me with America, the greatest country in the world, and with our Veterans and active duty soldiers.Thank you to all who serve and have served our country for walking that wall, for hunkering in a hole, and for standing brave on the line. I lovemy country and I love our military forces past, present and future. Thank You!”

On February 26, 2012 the City of Orlando, Orange County and the State of Florida have a tremendous opportunity to say “thank you” to our Veterans. The NBA All-Star game is coming to the Amway Center and the Orlando City Council and Orange County Commission have plenty of free tickets.

“Most members of the Orlando City Council and Orange County Commission —along with their guests—will watch the game from government-owned suites even closer to the action. But, because they consider the event “official business,” they won’t pay a dime.” Orlando Sentinel

Ron believes that instead of politicians getting these free tickets, our Veterans should receive them. “I am requesting, as a citizen and a candidate for the State Senate, that our Veterans be given the opportunity to attend some “official business” instead of politicians. What elected officials are willing to give up their seats to a Veteran?

What a wonderful opportunity for the City of Orlando and Orange County to set an example, do the right thing and show gratitude to our military. I am challenging our local politicians to show their appreciation by giving every one of those tickets to our local Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans.”

Ron is a candidate that relies on a decision-making process based on principle. Ron says, “Issues change and we will always have a variety of issues to resolve. The common sense conservative way to solve these issues is through principle. As your next State Senator, I will take a stand as a Florida Gatekeeper and encourage other legislators to do the same.”

War On Women Can Be Fought At The Polls

War On Women Can Be Fought At The Polls

By Kim Carroll

Women have the power. They take their right to vote seriously and show up at the polls in greater numbers than men according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.

In 2008, 60.4 percent of eligible female voters cast their vote versus 55.7% of eligible males. According to the same study, more women are registered to vote than men, 66.6 million versus 63.5 million. Maybe that’s why the “War on Women” has taken a front seat in this election…

The Interest Bomb Is Ticking

By: George Noga

This post kicks off a three-part series about the crisis of spending, debt and deficits.

The next part deals with the interval between now and the inevitable arrival of the Minsky Moment, i.e. the unknown and unknowable time when an unsustainable economic phenomenon suddenly collapses.

The third post will address Gotterdammerung, or what happens after the Minsky Moment.

Is Mack Campaign Getting Desperate?

By Tom Tillison

It’s a fair guess that Connie Mack has seen some recent polling that has gotten his attention.

As the week closed out, the rhetoric coming from the Mack campaign took on a rather fervent pitch. In a press release sent out Thursday, it made the claim that opponent George LeMieux has “endorsed raising Florida’s sales tax to a nation-leading 16 percent.”

Obama’s IPAB Death Panels Limit More Than Just Health Care Access

By L. Persona

Florida Democrats believe they can win a few Republican seats in Congress and are preparing a major offensive against several Republicans facing tough challenges this year. They believe that redistricting gives them a chance to offset the seats they are sure to give up.

However, the Democrats still fail to realize the albatross that ObamaCare places on their party’s efforts…

A Black Guy At The Dallas, TX Tea Party Rally

By Lloyd Marcus

A big well dressed black guy attended the Dallas, TX tea party rally with his white buddy. Both men missed my singing performance on stage minutes earlier.

I asked the black gentleman who had an impressive physique how often he worked out. He replied, “Everyday.” His white buddy said with a chuckle, “He thinks the Tea Party is racist.”
