Jerry From Ohio Has Something To Say

Many Americans are frustrated with elected officials who do the bidding of the NRA rather than what is right for the majority of Americans.  Our health and safety should not come second to NRA’s goal to sell guns as fast as they can.  No more!

One man puts his feelings out there for all to hear, and gives voice to the opinion of quite a few of us.
If you feel the same as this hearty soul from the great state of Ohio, then share the living hell out of this video!

Comical Gun News

I’m ashamed to say that quite a bit of the information Jon discloses in the preceding video was news to me…  I just don’t think about guns because I don’t own any.   I don’t hunt, sport shoot, and even though I live in the big bag metro area, I haven’t yet wanted a gun for protection.   However, I was very naive about the mess gun control laws really are in.  But then, as I look back at the way the country has treated guns and the way we use them, it all comes clear.

Nice work Cecelia!

The head of The American League of Lobbyists just attacked our campaign. His reason? (I’m not making this up.) “The easiest way to get the time and attention of a member of Congress and/or his legislative staff is at a campaign fundraiser.” Continue reading

Re: Monsanto’s latest attack

So, Robert Shepherd at Move On has a petition opposing the Monsanto Riders. These riders would require the Secretary of Agriculture to grant a temporary permit for the planting or cultivation of a genetically engineered crop.  Who wants to eat Franken-Food?  Not me, and I will say again, I buy organic foods as much as possible.  Please don’t forget the Department of Agriculture’s part in letting the Pink Slime slide under the consumer’s radar for so many years.  Continue reading

US priority should be independence from oil, period
