[GretchenEE]

You have a lot of faith and insight -- I love what you wrote about God writing everything down, because of this verse: "Then they that feared the LORD spoke often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name." Malachi 3:16

We are staying a lot of problems for this country by standing with Israel.

GREAT NEWS!

I just posted the results from the most recent CBS News/New York Times poll (taken Monday and Tuesday -- July 8 and 9). Despite both the relentless criticism of the RATS/media and the horrible performance of the stock market, the President's approval ratings actually INCREASED over June!!

Additionally, Fred Barnes predicted tonight on FOX News that the current political hysteria will mostly subside on Friday when Congress passes and President Bush signs a version of the Sorbanes (sic?) bill.

Regardless of positive polls and political predictions,however, we must intelligently and RELENTLESSLY respond to RAT/media attacks. My sisters and I made numerous calls today informing Daschle, Gebhardt, McCain, Leahy, et al, that they need to work WITH the President to both calm the financial markets and win this war on terrorism -- petty partisan posturing (I like alliteration!) will only cost them votes in November and 2004! [NOTE: We never identify ourselves as Republicans; instead, we describe ourselves as common sense voters, grounded Midwesterners, independents or concerned Americans (such descriptors have the virtue of being both true and persuasive)]! Again, if you need telephone numbers let me know. ALSO, I have the direct phone numbers of two top USATODAY editors -- if you want them, please e-mail me!!
