After all the scandal and brouhaha that followed, Rep. Michelle Bachmann reveals that ACORN, a corrupt organization at one time represented by Barack Obama, will start receiving funding on November 1. Did anyone hear about this in the MSM? I sure as hell didn't.
Boy, Congress really punished them, didn't they? One month of funding taken away, and then the taxpayers get to give them money once again. That was harsh!
Call, email, fax, whatever you need to do to stop this madness! Let the turds know that anything less than a permanent ban on taxpayer funding of ACORN is unacceptable and is grounds for dismissal.
The Disney Channel has become a staple of viewing in our house thanks (or not) to Cheyenne. While I'm not a huge fan of Disney since their politicizing of movies, I can deal with it. Hey, it keeps the little diva from becoming a whiny mess.
Recently, a group of Disney Channel stars recorded a song titled "Send It On" under the name "Disney Friends for Change." Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana), Selena Gomez (Wizards of Waverly Place), Demi Lovato (Sonny With a Chance), and the Jonas Brothers (Nick, Joe, and Kevin) have come together to do the song, and I must say that while not a classic in the sense of Clapton's "Layla" (the original; not unplugged), it's not bad.
While the message being sent is geared to kids doing their part to conserve resources, the lyrics could just as easily be a message of inspiration for adults (especially us bloggers) to keep up the fight against an ever-growing government and the erosion of liberty. The lyrics I find most pertinent to our cause will be in bold.
SEND IT ON
[Miley:] A word's, just a word 'til you mean what you say
[Nick:] And love, isn't love 'til you give it away
[Miley:] We've all gotta give
[Nick:] Yeah,something to give
[Miley & Nick:] To make a change
[Chorus:] Send it on On and on Just one hand can heal another Be a part Reach a heart Just one spark starts a fire With one little action the chain reaction Will never stop Make it strong Shine a light and send it on
[Demi & Joe:] Just Smile (Just Smile) And the world (And the world) Will smile along with you..
[Joe:] That small act of love Thats meant for one
[Demi & Joe:] Will become two
[Miley:] If we take the chances..
[Nick:] That change circumstances
[Nick & Miley] Imagine all we can do
[All} If we
[Chrous:] Send it on On and on Just one hand can heal another Be a part Reach a heart Just one spark starts a fire With one little action the chain reaction Will never stop Make it strong Shine a light and send it on (oh send it on)
Send it on..
[Miley:] There's power in all of the choices we make
[Demi & Joe:] So I'm starting now there's not a moment to wait
[Selena:] A word's, just a word 'til you mean what you say
[Selena & Kevin:] And love, isn't love 'til you give it away
[All:] Send it on (Send it on) On and on (on and on) Just one hand can heal another Be a part (be a part) Reach a heart
Just one spark starts a fire With one little action the chain reaction Will never stop Make it strong Shine a light and Send it on
On and on Just one hand can heal another Be a part Reach a heart Just one spark starts a fire With one little action the chain reaction Will help it start Make it strong Shine a light and send it on
[Demi:] Shine a light and send it on..
[All:] Shine a light and send it on..
Just as "Friends for Change" feel that they can make a difference in the conservation movement, we CAN and WILL make a difference in another movement: The movement to preserve freedom.
During the Revolutionary War, the signal of "One if by land; two if by sea" was used to let the Freedom Fighters know from which route the British were coming. Lanterns hung in the Old North Church in Boston spread the message.
In recent months, the seeds of revolution have started to take root. We are facing an enemy from within who has no regard for the sacred document bestowing equal rights on every American from the billionaire to the homeless person on the street.
My suggestion is simple. Since we know that the enemy is coming by land via Washington DC, why not put a single light near the busiest thoroughfare near you. I plan on buying a $4 solar light from Wal-Mart and putting it on the hillside near my driveway. I live on the main artery that leads directly to a ski resort. If you live in the city, get one and put it near the front of your house or on the lawn's edge near the sidewalk. For those of you in apartments, a single light-bulb candle in one window will do.
Consider it a symbolic message to let people know that the enemy is coming by land.
I just wanted to remind everyone that there are things we cannot forget to do.
First, keep on your senators about voting against cap and trade. The issue hasn't been taken up in the Senate yet, but it is far from over. Healthcare has been the main issue, but PLEASE don't let them sneak this in. A classic tactic from Saul Alinsky is to put so many issues out there that people can't pay attention to all of them at once. Be vigilant and stay informed.
Secondly, please continue to pray for Martha and Abigail and their families as they continue their brave battles. Please add Clay and his family to your prayers that all works out well for them. He's one of our brothers-in-arms and needs our prayer and support.
Thank you so much to all of you. You all mean more to me than you know or that I will ever be able to express.
