It will take about the next 6 months for me to get all of my posts manually moved to the new site, but I will keep the titles and a message to guide any readers to my new site: Rosemary's Thoughts. It has truly been an honor serving you, my readers, and I pray for brighter days and a better world. God bless you, and take care. Oh yeah, come visit me over at my new site! :)

The people of California pay more for gasoline than any other state in the union. This is partially due to taxes. If this bill passes, you can look forward to higher gasoline prices, less police officers, less fire fighters, less teachers, and the list continues. For these reasons, I am asking everyone in California to vote NO on Proposition 87. Thank you.

I went to check out some of Congresswoman MM's links such as: Press Releases, Statements, and Legislation. Her last speech was March 2005, her last press release was November 2005, and her last legislative act was for $250,000 to teach college students how to rig--er--be a poll worker.Hey!

This is not related to MM's pork-spending, but it is definitely worth your attention. The Club for Growth has just informed me that we beat the pants off of the tax-hiking, big-spending Republicans. One was even an incumbant!"Tim Walberg defeated Representative Joe Schwarz last night in Michigan's seventh district. The final tally was 53% to 47%, a decisive margin of victory." This is awesome!

I don't know about you but where I come from, them's fightin' words. First of all, are you for growth or not? If you are, then you have to be against this bill. Yes, I know the lilly-livered, weak-kneed Republicans tacked on the death tax, but do you understand the long term effect? If not, you have no business voting at all. If you do, then you would vote again this.It is simple logic, really.
