My 1 Year Anniversary

This Sunday, December 16, 2007 will be my one (1) year anniversary being married to my wonderful wife Deanna. I wanted to place in words how this makes me feel, WOW!

Marrying Deanna was the best thing I did in my life, she's my friend, my lover, and my soul mate. After a very short courtship, I knew in my heart that Deanna was the one for me, after one year of marriage I can say she's still the one, my love and friendship grows each and every day.

I thank God each and every day that he placed her in my life.

SlawDog...

Refusal to permit use of the word "God"...

The Architect of the Capitol (Stephen T. Ayers) elected to create a rule that would not allow religious expressions on flog certificates. Ok, now wait one moment where does a non-elected staff member of the United States Capitol get the power to choose what is placed on a Official Certificate for flags that are flown over the U.S. Capitol.

Thank GOD that an Eagle Scout contacted Rep. Michael Turner to inform him of what was happening. This Eagle Scout requested a flag be flown over the capitol and requested that the certificate inscribed with the message: “In honor of my grandfather Marcel Larochelle, and his dedication and love of God, Country and Family.” I cannot believe as a voting American that our Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, oh wait I can believe it as for she's so far on the left that she has no clue where the center is, would allow this to happen.

She had the nerve to say that members of Congress who request flags on behalf of constituents can "add whatever they wish" to the certificates, "whether it is a political statement or a religious statement.", but wait if a constituent request that flag they are not allowed to place whatever they wish.

Here is a woman that I personal do not believe understands what it is to be an American, this county was founded on set items and those items included “GOD”. Pelosi said “It’s not about being anti-religion.” How can she say that when she made no statement about a new Muslim member of congress swore his allegiance to the Koran.

This ruling cannot and will not stand, nor can she stay as Speaker of the House.

Fred Thompson's First Video Ad

I'm a little late getting this out, but it's worth having people see it again:

RPOF Welcomes Dems...

The Republican Party of Florida has stepped up to the plate and opened up their arms to support all the Florida Democrats that want their vote to count. The party sent out 'Party Switch Cards', with "Has being a Florida Democrat brought you to tears? You're not alone." printed on the front of it.

With Florida being one of the main players in the Presidential election only wanted to make sure that when the primary came around we where not sitting last, only one of the first.

The National Democrat Party is beside itself, we what all voters votes to count, but wait, not if you are in Florida, your vote does not mean a thing to us, plus you don't know how to vote.

All I have to say about all this is, Hey Dems you want your vote to mean something, get a switch card and come on over... Because Fred Thompson will take your vote and be proud to have it.

Florida Loves Thompson...

Can you believe it, in the race just for a few weeks and Fred is only one point behind Giuliani in the latest Mason-Dixon Poll and the Insider Advantage Poll.

Both conducted this week and Fred is at 23% virtually tied for the lead with Giuliani at 24%.

Pandemic (a possible look of the future)

This is from a Friends Blog:

BBC produces chilling documentary/dramatization
Posted on Friday, September 14, 2007 at 03:41PM by Scott McPherson

Other bloggers have noted the appearance of the BBC pandemic influenza documentary/drama "Pandemic," part of its science series called "Horizons." Pity the show is not broadcast on BBC America, because it is the most chilling treatise on the subject of pandemic influenza that I have ever seen, and it needs to be seen by as many people as possible. The link to the BBC Horizons Pandemic page can be found at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/horizon/broadband/tx/pandemic

The entire 90-minute documentary can be seen at this link: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7443717071229476088&q=pandemic+duration%3Along&total=73&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=5

First visit to the Florida Captiol...

Well, he made it, Sentor Thompson made the stop in Tallahassee to sit down with the Governor. I'm not sure how it was, I'm not sure what they talked about, but knowing Fred and Charlie, it was a good talk.

I'm going forward with my support of Fred Thompson as President of the United States and I pray that you do also.

Please take a visit to http://www.fred08.com/ and take a look for yourself. If you are like me and already know that Fred Thompson is your man, the please Contribute below:

President of the United States Fred Thompson...

To late to get into the race, well... If that is so ture why has support from conservatives starting to come around so strong.

Because they know that Senator Thompson is the right man for the job...

Watch out America, here we come!

Campaign 2008...

Currently we are looking at 8 different people running for the President of the United States within each party, which in turn gives us a grand total of 16 people running. If you take a look at each one of them independently each person has good things and bad things.

Here's the problem, well as I see it, these 16 people have all been campaigning for more then a year already and the election is not until next year and people are already tired of all of it already. The biggest reason for all this is the 'News Channels', now that our world has the feel that it needs the news all the time, the 'News Channels' have to find something to report no matter how small it is and once they have it they air it and air it and air it and air it until it is good and dead.

So, This is why Fred Thompson has been waiting to get into the game, as for there is not need to campaign two and half years early, because all it will do is turn people off. But now it's time for Fred to step up to the plate and state that he's running, America is ready for a real candidate, a candidate thats has not been trying to be the person, the guy, for the past two and half years.

Lets doing it Fred, lets give the good people of the United States a real, true, candidate for the President of the United States of America.

Ok, Fred, It's time...

Ok, Fred...

It's time to get in the game, we have been waiting and waiting for the right person to step up to the plate and your that person. Your the reason for the undecided voters in both parties. All the Law & Order shows have aired that had you in it, so the equal time is no longer a issue for TNT.

Your the only one thats not out there saying how things should have been ran, but how you would run them, and that stands for a lot now a days... I am and I'm sure others are also tired of people pointing fingers and not giving new ideals or solutions to the problems and issues that are in front of us.

So, please step up to the plate and get into the game, I personal believe he will see a great force and team show up at the plate with you.

Hurricane Dean (04L)

Well folks, first big hurricane of the season that could affect Florida. Hurricane Dean is currently located at 14.8N 63.6W with winds at 125 MPH and moving West. Below you will find two path charts, the one on the top is supplied by the National Hurricane Center and the one on the bottom is supplied by Weather Underground.

Please make sure you have a Hurricane Plan in place before the hurricane, trying to make a plan at the last minute NEVER works.

First Blog
