Whenever I think of this holiday, the 4th of July, I prefer to think of the additional title it holds…Independence Day. I have many fond memories of this day in years past.
I also think of the movie “The Patriot” with Mel Gibson, as he encouraged his neighbors to fight together for their freedom…
Voters may vote in person by casting a ballot prior to election day. The voter will use the same type of voting equipment that is used at the polls on election day. Early voting begins 15 days before an election and ends on the 2nd day before an election.
Voters who want to vote early should present the following at the early voting site:
A valid photo identification; and
A signature identification.
Dubbed the ‘thin conservative Michael Moore” by Neal Cavuto of Fox News, Ray Griggs, a director of science fiction movies and the father of three children, decided it was time to show the world what’s really going on in Washington…that is, if you hadn’t figured it out already.
Using caricatures of Presidents Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, as well as footage from various Tea Party Rallies, Griggs’ “I Want Your Money” helps citizens better understand the out of control spending among the people we elected to represent us in DC.

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.

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

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.”

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 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.”
