Good evening!
In another major address this week, President Obama will outline further economic plans: to cut the federal deficit in half over the course of his first term, to raise taxes on "the wealthiest" Americans, winding down the war in Iraq, and it's reported, raising business taxes.
The Republicans in Congress will have their work cut out for them to oppose tax increases in a time of business downturn, but it needs to be done, and they need our help to oppose the increases.
Continue to make calls, emails, talk to everyday folks you know.

Most excellent re: Ginsburg.
Good morning. Babysitting today. May get a chance to check in at nap time.
I am heading up to Sturgeon Bay, and then to Luxemburg, for a couple of shows. Y'all play nice now.
Good morning, kassie. That’s why lysie posts her breakfast every morning, so that you don’t have to be hungry all day. :-o
A sign of spring?? Just saw a little chipmunk on the frozen tundra that's my backyard...
Also...been meaning to mention this sickening bumper sticker I saw the other day...sorry 2/3rds!!
It was one of those O iconic images that make us gag, with the words: Yes we did!
Off to a meeting.
1st of all, I find this extremely hard to believe. New York tried to give illegals drivers licenses and that's all we heard about on the local and national news. So, is the media covering up the fact that the government wants to give illegals social security benefits?? This sounds like something you should check and recheck on Snopes!
Also, if the American people don't want illegals coming into this country, they don't have to build fences, they don't have to have border patrols -- none of that stuff -- the solution is very, very simple................STOP HIRING THEM!!!! If we didn't hire them they wouldn't come. It's cheaper to check on SSN's than it is to build fences and hire border patrol officers. If the people who hired illegals would pay minimum wages to the people in this country we wouldn't have this problem.
They went well. 15 are up for a full scholarship and 5 are chosen. 120 for the honors program and 20 or so are chosen. He’ll find out the last of next week. Really holding our breath. Those going for the full ride were all so intelligent and deeply rooted in their faith. I was so impressed with them.
a late good morning.
I’ve got tons of things to do today, and will be lucky if I get a third of them done.
Erands and a meeting this afternoon.
Personally, Jem, I think you will be a very good writer and I wish you all the very best. I was in your predicament some years ago. I entered an art class and actually sold some of my “primitave” paintings.
Geee, I don’t think I’ve ever seen concentrated dried stock. What is it called, does it have a name? I’m interested.
Good Morning kassie, good morning everyone. Kassie, how do you feel today. I’m hoping much better?
It supposed to get up to 80 degrees up here today. We’re going to work in the yard. Roomey is going to work the soil in my little gardents and I’m going to do whatever.
I have to state, I complain about our hot and humid summers here so now I will brag on our winters. I just picked the most beautiful green and red bell peppers I’ve ever seen. They are large, shiny, waxy and gorgeous. I also picked a cup of cherry tomatoes and a couple of Roma that were very ready to be picked and since I’ve been under the weather, I didn’t go out and check on them. I do enjoy these winters down here.
Thanks lysie, here I am “trying” to lose weight and you have those delicous looking paczkis on the table for us. I love breakfast sweets with a roaring hot cuppa topped with whipped cream.
Granny, thank you , thank you for my first hardy laugh of the day. Now, if I was making cream of turkey soup!
You know Bit, I might try the bacon fat addition. I hadn’t thought of that - thanks!
President Bush stil gets it in the back every time, doesn't he? Makes you want to scream.
I’m feeling almost normal - yea!!!
You’re warmer than us. We’re only suppose to get up to low 70s. But low 80s by Thursday and then cool off again. Hubby did a lot of yard work the past 2 days. Now he’s gone again until the weekend. I’m watering today.
Good morning, Molly. Well, that’s OK. There is coming a time that those fools (fools as in the Biblical sense - the most derogatory description for a person that it was possible to make) will be frantically scraping those shameful bumper stickers off even if it means scraping the paint and primer off down to bare metal.
