You Cut - Week of 20 May 2010

Here's are the second week of You Cut swill to vote on. Go to: http://republicanwhip.house.gov/YouCut/

Once you vote, you will be the e-mail list and each Thursday you will receive a notification of new cuts needing your Vote. So Vote!

As much as I dislike Robert Byrd, and as much as I'd like to see everyone sharing the pain of cuts, including government workers not getting pay raises, I voted for the cut of fundiung for the Government to buy land. The U.S. Government is much too big as it is. They don't need to ruin families by buying land, much if it land used by ranchers to graze their cattle under a BLM contract for which they pay a fee.

California - Going the Way of Greece?

Sent to me on e-mail. An analogy on why California is broke and will soon be going the way of Greece.

"Life is tough. It is even tougher if you are stupid" - John Wayne

Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks dog.

Governor starts to intervene, reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop; the coyote is only doing what is natural.

He calls animal control. Animal control captures coyote and spends $200 testing it for diseases and $500 upon relocating it.

He calls veterinarian. Vet collects dead dog and spends $200 testing it for diseases.

Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting bite wound bandaged.

Running trail gets shut down for 6 months while wildlife services conduct a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is clear of dangerous animals.

Governor spends $50,000 of state funds implementing a "coyote awareness" program for residents of the area.

State legislature spends $2 million investigating how to better handle rabies and how to possibly eradicate the disease. SEIU and ACORN win the bid to conduct the study.

Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack and for letting the Governor intervene. Cost: $75,000 to train new security agent.

PETA protests the coyote relocation and files suit against the state.

If the same thing happened in Texas:

Governor shoots coyote and keeps jogging. Governor has spent $0.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. Buzzards eat dead coyote.


Any wonder why California is broke????

Illegal Immigration in Arizona - the Untold Story

With the left spinning the new Arizona Illegal Immigration Law as a racist, profiling, anti-Constitution measure that will only target Hispanics, and their real agenda being Immigration Reform in the form of another Amnesty -cause after all, the Leftists proclaim, the immigrant criminals are very few and the vast majority of undocumented immigrants (see how they change terms to give a perception?) are just here to make their life better and to do jobs Americans won't. Well that's just Bull Crap across the board.

Here are a couple of pictures the main stream media won't show you are vast tracks of land, much of it privately owned, that are trashed because of illegal immigrants. Not only do they tear down fences and leave gates open, they leave trash, not just clothing, water bottles, food wrappers, just also large amounts of human waste to pollute their path. This is not just one area,...this is across the border in Arizona.
