Gadhafi," Every One Of Us Good or Bad Serves A Purpose; "-MoPoDC

 I just read a nice article on Gadhafi & about the good he has done.  I also heard he was truly about Peace, and that every one of us Good or Bad serves a purpose; it’s by Designed.  


Which gets me to asking what could be so dyer that would cause you to not only overthrow your Leader, your Savior, the one that made it possible that you were healthy enough to fight & you shoot  him in the head. L

You shot an un-armed man in the head then put his body on display while holding up the Peace sign. That to me is a bad sign already.  The start of something that could put your country in turmoil or ruin the great things Gadhafi did achieved before his death---- 

Let Your Actions Be What People See- MoPoDC.

Which is why I questioned how some of us are easy to be influenced- me included; partly by Hope & the other, your Word.  Trusting you would do what you said you would.


For Gadhafi to do what I believe is not only the first but the only one to do what he has done,- In fact, if these things be true, I believe this concept could apply to Me & U. MoPoDC   I know he has done horrible things.  I also know our America leaders have done horrible things as well & still is and I would suspect so have every other leader that is in power.

Because life past should have thought us from the last, each time it’s not until someone puts a foot into our A$$.  

Why can’t we achieve something like that but do it together as One?  Why can’t we respect each other for who they are even though we do not like who they become? 

Again, nice article, it makes you think who is next, and has it really come down to this or is this some hyped up accusation.

I don’t know about other leaders of today but to achieve what this article say Gadhfi did to me shows the type of Love I Wish & Pray For.   

I’ve heard the president comment on how China is dictatorship & because leaders like him and Gadhfi have great ideas for their country and they are going to try it; no debating, but unfortunately it seems like China Leaders are willing to do it at any cost. -   Where is the Love?  As people walk by and watch a baby run over & do nothing.

Have you ever wonder what America would be like if we let our President lead. Instead, we sabotage ourselves from the mere fact of truly living the impossible.

I’m seeing, new signs everyday especially with the #OccupyWallStreet/World

We undercut ourselfivies, by achieving the biggest Birth to Grave deceit of mankind.  

"It’s All about Me"-   We all play a role on earth and whatever that role is, thoroughly  it’s not all about youJ but more about -What about you?

Only way you can tell that story is by your actions.

What about you-Libya, What about you-Congress, What about you- America, What about you- Leaders across the World?

Gov. Bob McDonnell & Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s - MoPoDC

BY JIM NOLAN  Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s protracted battle with the Environmental Protection Agency over its process for regulating greenhouse gases took another legal step this week. On Monday, the AG’s office filed its response to the EPA related to its appeal of the agency’s 2009 ruling that carbon dioxide and other gases are pollutants that pose a threat to humans.


Gov. Bob McDonnell chided the federal government Tuesday for standing in the way of developing energy resources he called vital to the country's future.


Besides Virginia and Texas, the thirteen other states in the suit are Alabama, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Nebraska, Michigan, and Kentucky.   Who would you blame for contaminated drinking supply or for breathing in fumes that can cause cancer or other sickness? Self for allowing it to happen & for not getting involved or these current leaders in office. It's time for a change- MoPoDC

NBA –This is Bigger Than U & Me, MoPoDC

Basketball played as kids was free, as Rich as you both are and the fight is over money.   Now a few games are canceled & more Americans suffer because they counted on the income to help jumpstart or to keep a positive front during bad times.  So, you are kind of messing with our minds.  It sucks to see to the Rich whine, when Americans have exceeded crying and yet, you still are not buying.- MoPoDC

Please ask yourself that question NOW so if the elections don’t turn out as you hoped, on November 9  you don’t have to wonder,“Could I have made a difference?” The answer to the later question is a resounding “YES, YES, YES”  you can make a difference.

Will you? 

Do more than hope.  The local elections are less than 30 days away, and there is much that you can do for the candidates of your choice.  Volunteer and see how much of a difference you can make!

Below are the contact names and contact info that I have for some of the local candidates—but there are a lot more candidates and folks looking for your time. Find them and volunteer and make a difference.

We hope you’ll jump in and help a local race or three or four, but we also hope you’ll jump in and give an hour or more a week to help get the President re-elected. We have a lot of work to do and we need your help NOW. Please don’t sit on the sidelines thinking it’s too early, or someone else will do the work. That someone else is likely from the Tea Party.  You have the power to change elections----so again,

Will you? 


Volunteer with OFA for even just one hour a week---we have lots of opportunities listed below, but if you don’t see what you would like to do to contribute, please give me a call and we’ll get you going on what interests you most!  A house party, scheduling events, researching events, writing letters to the editor, training? 

Let’s keep winning!

2.     Learn about the local races and volunteer for one of the many, many campaigns and GOTV efforts. Less than 30 days until the election!

3.     Volunteer for one of the OFA events below, in your neighborhood. An hour a week would make a big difference. Join a Saturday AM training session to learn more

Friend --The U.S. Senate is supposed to vote on the American Jobs Act as early as tonight. (202) 224-2541.


2012



It's a bill that will put people to work immediately, and it contains proposals that members of both parties have said in the past that they'd support.

But Senate Republicans want to block it. Not because they have a plan that creates jobs right now -- not one Republican, in Congress or in the presidential race, does. They only have a political plan.

Their strategy is to suffocate the economy for the sake of what they think will be a political victory. They think that the more folks see Washington taking no action to create jobs, the better their chances in the next election. So they're doing everything in their power to make sure nothing gets done.

There's still time for principled Republican senators to declare their independence from this kamikaze political strategy.

Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate, needs to hear what Americans like you think.

You can reach his office at (202) 224-2541. Tell him not to let politics get in the way of creating jobs.

Will you take three minutes and call now? Then click here to let us know how it went.

If Sen. McConnell's office says he won't support the American Jobs Act, ask which parts he doesn't support:

     -- Making sure that those who served our country can get good jobs at home by providing incentives for businesses to hire unemployed veterans?
     -- Preventing layoffs of teachers, cops, and firefighters, while supporting the hiring of tens of thousands more?
     -- Rebuilding our crumbling roads, bridges, railways, and airports with a bipartisan, public-private infrastructure bank?
     -- Modernizing at least 35,000 public schools in rural and urban areas?
     -- Providing job training for the unemployed, especially young people who have been hit especially hard?

The President has been forceful and clear: Action on jobs is desperately needed, and Congress should pass this bill right away.

And he has specifically asked those of us who agree to make sure Republican lawmakers know it.

This bill -- and the simple idea that every American who works hard and plays by the rules has a fundamental right to economic security -- is a big part of what we stand for as a campaign and as a movement.

There's no good reason for Congress to delay any more -- and if they do, you deserve to know why.

Call Sen. McConnell's office. Tell him you're watching, and you expect Republicans in the Senate to do the right thing and move forward on this bill today.

Then let us know how it went:
