13 year old teenager compares the facts about both Gov. Romney and Mr. Obama. She is "Teacher For A Day," and she did her homework. Very interesting. Keep this generation foremost in your mind on November 6

CATHOLIC CHURCH SPEAKS UP
Here is a campaign ad put together by the Catholic Church. It's very powerful and highlights the beliefs of Catholics, Christians and others. It's rare that the Catholic Church would draw such a distinct line in the sand, but they have. The video discusses Family, Jobs, Taxes, Energy, Economy, Marriage, Life, and Religious Freedom. It is an indictment of the policies of Obama and the Democrats and sends a very real message to them - don't mess with the Catholic Church. Remember that if Obama gets away with dictating to the Catholic Church, your religious beliefs may be next. Watch it here and invite others to see it. Change will only come in November if Americans are greatly fed up with the current administration and vote them all OUT of office. And then we have to demand that a new administration listens to We, The People.

SUBSIDY VS. GRANT - AN EASY EXPLANATION
Have you heard the left and even the right yowling about taking away the oil company "subsidies?" Here's an explanation of what a subsidy is. I believe the government is purposely redefining the term "subsidy." They are creating confusion over what the word "subsidy" has historically meant. A "subsidy" is something GIVEN to companies, like outright grants, a gift of money. That is what the green energy companies are getting right now from both federal and state governments. GRANTS, GIFTS, HERE IT IS, SPEND IT TO PUSH A POLITICAL AGENDA, GREEN ENERGY.
The oil companies, and hundreds of thousands of other big and small companies, do not get "subsidies" or "grants" for the production of fossil fuels. They get nothing more than accelerated depreciation, and the oil companies also get depletion breaks. The "subsidies" are nothing more than tax breaks, not gifts. And the government has forever used them to mold public policy like pushing wind and solar and green cars. By the way, ALL U.S. COMPANIES qualify for the depreciation breaks made available by tax law. And if you believe "these big companies do NOT pay their fair share of taxes," remember, Obama's pal, GE, has admitted they paid nothing. They took advantage of available tax breaks.
But Exxon oil, according to their first quarter filed reports, had a net profit of 10 billion dollars on 114 billion dollars in gross revenue. That is a profit margin of 9%, up very slightly from their last report. About 3% of Exxon's oil business is in the U.S. For every gallon of fuel they manufacture in the U.S. they earned 2 cents. That's not a typo. It is two cents. So while Exxon Mobile gets 2 cents from each gallon of gas, the federal and state governments take in between 40-60 cents in taxes. See who gets the biggest share of the fuel "pie?" It isn't the oil companies.
The real reason we have $4 per gallon gas and rising is the Feds printing money and monetizing the U. S. debt. That action, which I believe has never been done in the U. S., causes intense out of control inflation. That and the fact that Obama has virtually shut down oil production in the Gulf and Alaska. Do you remember during the campaign when Obama said because of his energy policies "energy prices would necessarily skyrocket." Looks like he meant it.
There is no one to blame for the price of gas except Obama and the Federal Reserve puppet Bernanke. But don't expect the increase in the price of fuel and food to show up in the "accurate" inflation figures coming out of Washington. In case you didn't know, the Washington number crunchers responsible for reporting the real inflation number don't include fuel and food in their calculations. What does that tell you about the accuracy and intelligence of the Washington calculators?

DemoBrats and the Blame Game
Did you notice in his speech yesterday that Obama continues to blame the Republicans for the mess we are in and accuses them of working for Special Interests?
Well, the big question is, who gave the banks all that cash and propped them up? Answer, Bush and Obama. But then, Who bailed out the car companies, housing, Freddie and Fannie, the unions and hundreds of other industries and who has driven our debt to bankruptcy levels? Answer, Obama. And who is going to increase EVERY ONE'S taxes on January 1, 2011? Answer, Obama. The January 1 tax hikes are going to be massive and will hurt every segment of our society. And Obama doesn't care. He has an agenda and the outcome be damned, full speed ahead.
And don't forget the DOUBLE TAX ON ENERGY PRODUCERS that Obama is proposing. You know, we have to "punish" the "rich" energy producing companies. Do you think Obama is smart enough to figure out that all those increased taxes to energy companies will be passed directly on to We The People by increased rates? Surely he knows this because he can't be that ignorant. When you buy gas for your car, heating fuel, electricity, or any of the millions of things that are "petroleum products," you will feel the pinch. Thank you, Mr. Obama. And it's not as if Americans have extra money to spend on increased rates. Millions of Americans don't even have JOBS, much less EXTRA CASH. Thanks again, Mr. Obama and your pals in Congress.
He's been the captain of the ship for 19 months now and he still doesn't understand that our mess is his fault. How can anyone not notice that he is a pathological liar? How can he say his new $50 billion bill will give small businesses incentives to hire, when at the same time, the bill is full of job killing regulations? His $800 billion stimulus bill didn't work, so why would a new stimulus bill work? Is he really that dumb? All I see is more companies leaving, taking millions more jobs with them.
He and the DemoBrats need to be stopped in November. If Conservatives gain the majority in both houses, then Obama will be shut down until 2012 and hopefully they can start to undo some of the damage he's done.
So I say to him, "Mr. Obama, Americans are disgusted with the "blame game" and with all of you. Based on your first 19 months we are terror-stricken thinking of how much additional damage you can do in the next two years. If you knew anything about being President, you would LEAD. Instead you just BLAME and SPEND and then BLAME and SPEND some more, and then BLAME someone else for all of it. November? That's when we shut you down. Good Riddance to you and as many of your DemoBrats that we can get rid of!"

Candidate Take Note!
Found some interesting information at GOPUSA. (www.gopusa.com) Seems like they surveyed just over 7,000 readers. Those people were asked what they wanted to see from the next officials they place in office. The response rate was well over 10%, when statisticians declare that anything over 3% is considered good. Guess people really are concerned.
Anyway, I thought you'd like to see their responses. Here they are in order of their importance.
Term Limits
Balanced Budget
Reduced Spending
Secured Borders
Repeal of Mandated Healthcare
End Earmarks
Congress Must Live By All Laws Passed
Reduce The Size Of Government
All Laws Must Have Constitutional Applicability
Reaffirm States' Rights
Develop A Strong Energy Bill Using All National Resources
Stop Lying To Citizens and Keep Your Promises
I think all candidates for the upcoming elections should Take Note of Number One. I wonder if any candidates will pledge to introduce a Term Limit Bill immediately upon taking office?
Contact the campaigns of the candidates, and let's hold their feet to the fire on this one and get them to take The Pledge.
