Paul Ryan has sponsored only 8 pieces of legislation........

during this past term. This shows to me that he is a very lazy congressman and a very arrogant congressman. if you check his sponsored budget you will see that he was offering this budget for the years 2013 through 2021.


See the below site to check your representative and or senator.

This November every voter has to pull the straight Democratic handle............

This is one of the many messages we need to tell people. We have to repeat as often as possible "the Republican dominated House of Representatives, is responsible for the way things are going in Washington."

If a family member or friend says that they like their Republican representative and will vote for him in November, you repeat the above.

America will only be successful again, if all Republicans are defeated at every level, nationally, statewide and locally.

Found this site today......Cantor has proposed 18 bills..........

and not one was a jobs bill. This site allows you to check by the Representative's or Senator's name & it will show you the bills they have introduced & where those bills are in the process.

You can't make this stuff up........Republican chairman calls Obama supporter mentally retarded

http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/08/08/county_gop_chair_called_obama_supporter_retarded.html

County GOP Chair Called Obama Supporter Retarded
Allegheny County, PA GOP chair Jim Roddey made a joke at a Republican election night party equating President Obama's supporters with the mentally disabled, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Said Roddey: "There was a disappointment tonight. I was very embarrassed. I was in this parking lot and there was a man looking for a space to park, and I found a space for him. And I felt badly -- he looked like he was sort of in distress. And I said, 'Sir, here's a place.' And he said, 'That's a handicapped space.' I said, 'Oh I'm so sorry, I saw that Obama sticker and I thought you were mentally retarded.'"

According to the report, "the crowd hollered and clapped."

He (Roddey) is being asked to step down.

Need good vibes.............Update

Nothing real serious.

I was enroute to Obama headquarters to talk about becoming an Obama Fellow. Of course on the way, some idiot from Alabama (I'm in Pennsylvania) rear ends me.

My never scratched VW Routan is seriously injured. State Trooper took a report and the driver of the other car took complete responsibility for the damage. The driver his wife & 2 kids were okay. An off duty paramedic stopped and checked everyone out.

I was seatbelted & when I was hit, my head went forward, and I swear I felt my brain shake. I have a headache and keeping an eye on how I feel as the evening goes on & whether or not I head to my Doctor's office.

Turned everything over to my insurance company. My car was driveable but the other one was flat bedded.

As recommended I did go to the hospital. I have a concussion. But the CT found things that I didn't know. I have arthritis in my neck (C-6 & C-7) also found that I have two things that I need an MRI for, 1. a meningioma (tumor) and hyperostosis (bone growth). The tumor is 95% of the time found to be benign. After the MRI, I have to meet with a neurologist.

There was a reason for this accident, I guess.
