Be Smart, Do your Part.

I'm not here to preach.  I'm not here to get all deep.  But I am here...so I feel like I need to say something!  Do not let the media, particularly Hollywood, sway your votes this election.  They do not make up the REAL world.  I feel really strongly about this election, more than ever before...I do not care if our President is white/black, male/female...What I do care is that our decisions are based on substance, not on empty promises...I don't want a President that is going to charm me.  I want a President that is going to make our country what it needs to be.

Here's some interesting data just received on taxes:

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY OBAMA:

 

* New government taxes proposed on homes more than 2400 square feet.

* New gasoline taxes (because they aren't high enough already)

*New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating, gas, water, electricity)

*New taxes on retirement accounts

and last but not least...

*New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as that of third-world countries.

All I can say is spread the word...
