Perhaps Enough is Enough

I sit here and watch the answers of Mr. Gibbs for the President. He had a telling line. "The government you get is the government you participate in."

I think he is saying if we don't like things, then it is time to jump in.

I spent time last night writing letters to the President, Senate, etc., to say "no stimulus." (www.NoStimulus.com)I read the 600 plus pages and came away extremely disheartened at the actions that will ultimately affect my children and grandchildren. Have you read this? "We have been guided by a Republican administration who believes in this simplistic notion that people who have wealth are entitled to keep it."— Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.)

PS: Don't have time to read all 647 pages? Shame, shame. Still, this bill is mostly a combination of bills moved through three major committees. Summaries of each section can be found:

So disappointed am I that I woke up this morning to express my thoughts with regard to the "same sex marriage" actions making it's way to our state legislature. I have seen so much devastation amongst gay friends and acquaintances that I could never be in favor of it.

And so I began to read through the bills being proposed in our state. Wow! To deal effectively we must read all day long.Here they are. http://www.leg.state.vt.us/database/rintro/results.cfm I am trying to read through each one of them.

And then, a friend of mine, Bryan Shohet, has let me know he would like to run against incumbent Peter Welch in 2010 and could I help him. And ironically many of those who are telling him "no" are Republicans. Huh? What is up with that. "We do not think that is a wise idea." OK, who do you suggest? "Duh, we don't have anyone, but we do not think it is you."

As time goes on, I will be adding to this.
