New Christmas Tradition.....

Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition

As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -merchandise  that has been produced at the expense of American labor. This year could/should be different. This year, Americans can give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands.

 

Yes there is!

It's time to think outside the box, everyone. Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper? Everyone gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?

Gym membership? It's appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.

Who wouldn't appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned
detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a
book of gift certificates.

Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plunking down big bucks on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.

There are a many owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn't the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint. Remember, folks this isn't about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.

How many people couldn't use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by an American working guy?

Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom? Mom would love the services of a local cleaning lady for a day.

My computer could use a tune-up, and I know I can find some young guy who is
struggling to keep his repair business running.

OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local arts and crafts people spin their own wool and knit it into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.

Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave
your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at
your hometown theater.

Musicians need love too, so find a venue showcasing local bands.

Honestly, friends, do you really need to buy another hundred Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of light, about fifty cents stays in the community. Instead, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice big tip.

You see, the holidays are no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn't imagine.
THIS is the new American holiday tradition.

This is a revolution of caring about each other, and isn't that what Christmas is about?

Please...Need To Read right away‏ - Obamacare

Truthorfiction.com says this is the opinion of a respected constitutional attorney......

A retired Constitutional lawyer has read the entire proposed health care bill. Read his conclusions and pass this on as you wish.  This is stunning!   Please take the time to read this and forward it out as you see fit.  Thanks   The Truth About the Health Care Bills - Michael Connelly, Ret. Constitutional Attorney   Well, I have done it!  I have read the entire text of proposed House Bill 3200: The Affordable Health Care Choices Act of 2009. I studied it with particular emphasis from my area of expertise, constitutional law.  I was frankly concerned that parts of the proposed law that were being discussed might be unconstitutional. What I found was far worse than what I had heard or expected.   To begin with, much of what has been said about the law and its implications is in fact true, despite what the Democrats and the media are saying.  The law does provide for rationing of health care, particularly where senior citizens and other classes of citizens are involved, free health care for illegal immigrants, free abortion services, and probably forced participation in abortions by members of the medical profession.   The Bill will also eventually force private insurance companies out of business, and put everyone into a government run system.  All decisions about personal health care will ultimately be made by federal bureaucrats, and most of them will not be health care professionals.  Hospital admissions, payments to physicians, and allocations of necessary medical devices will be strictly controlled by the government.   However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface.  In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices.  Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated  If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.   The first thing to go will be the masterfully crafted balance of power between the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches of the U.S. Government.  The Congress will be transferring to the Obama Administration authority in a number of different areas over the lives of the American people, and the businesses they own.   The irony is that the Congress doesn't have any authority to legislate in most of those areas to begin with!  I defy anyone to read the text of the U.S. Constitution and find any authority granted to the members of Congress to regulate health care.   This legislation also provides for access, by the appointees of the Obama administration, of all of your personal healthcare direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital.  All of this is a protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures.  You can also forget about the right to privacy.  That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.   If you decide not to have healthcare insurance, or if you have private insurance that is not deemed acceptable to the Health Choices Administrator appointed by Obama, there will be a tax imposed on you.  It is called a tax instead of a fine because of the intent to avoid application of the due process clause of the 5th Amendment. However , that doesn't work because since there is nothing in the law that allows you to contest or appeal the imposition of the tax, it is definitely depriving someone of property without the due process of law.  So, there are three of those pesky amendments that the far left hate so much, out the original ten in the Bill of Rights, that are effectively nullified by this law  It doesn't stop there though.  The 9th Amendment that provides: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people;  The 10th Amendment states: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are preserved to the States respectively, or to the people.  Under the provisions of this piece of Congressional handiwork neither the people nor the states are going to have any rights or powers at all in many areas that once were theirs to control.   I could write many more pages about this legislation, but I think you get the idea.  This is not about health care; it is about seizing power and limiting rights.  Article 6 of the Constitution requires the members of both houses of Congress to "be bound by oath or affirmation to support the Constitution." If I was a member of Congress I would not be able to vote for this legislation or anything like it, without feeling I was violating that sacred oath or affirmation.  If I voted for it anyway, I would hope the American people would hold me accountable.   For those who might doubt the nature of this threat, I suggest theyconsult the source, the US Constitution, and Bill of Rights. There you can see exactly what we are about to have taken from us.   Michael Connelly  Retired attorney,  Constitutional Law Instructor  Carrollton , Texas   AFTER HAVING READ THIS,  PLEASE FORWARD.... If you don't care about our constitution, or your rights under it, just do nothing.

Relief or not?!?!?!?

Well I did all my sign out paperwork last Friday at work since I would be off on leave all this week. My official last day is Sunday, July 31st. I had a really hard time walking out the office door for the last time last Friday, and yes, I cried. Kind of hard not to after spending over 6 years of my life there. I also feel relieved that I won't have to get up at the crack of dawn and try to move my body to prepare for work. The really bad part of losing my job is losing the health insurance for myself, Ed, and Brent. That totally tears me apart. I guess there is a little bit of good in this too in that since I won't have to pay for health insurance, I'll actually bring home more money on unemployment! Got most of my meds changed to ones that Kroger offer for $4 a month but really worried about 1 of Ed's that doesn't come in generic form and costs about $600 per month. I have to find a way to pay for it because I certainly don't want him to just stop taking it. Maybe since I will be bringing home more money we can still get it, I am really praying hard. Don't get me wrong, I miss my job already and most of the people I have worked with but I think my body was tired of getting up and going everyday with all it's problems, LOL! I plan to apply for disability when my body recovers more if I am still unable to do things and I am sure that will be a long road too. I have until August 15th before the kids go back to school and I sure wish I was physically able to do more with them before they go. They both seem to be very excited about going back to school and I am thankful for that! I guess for now I am happy doing things on my computer at home and I have more time to devote to selling unwanted household items and kids clothes on Yardsellr. You can visit me there at yardsellr.com and search for me at Kim Dunlap Gordon. Oh, and I am selling a lot of my work clothes too, don't have much use for those anymore, LOL! Love to all!
