New Year’s Eve is here and I know many of us are thrilled that this year is about done.  I can truthfully say that I have never been happier to see one year end and another one begin.

This is the time of year when newspapers and networks create their list of those who passed away…

This time of year our home is filled with candles of Christmas fragrance.  We light them when company drops in and at night sometimes, I’ll light them just for us.…

 Governor-elect Rick Scott will be at the Jacksonville Landing this Wednesday, December 29th from 4:00-5:00 for a special Inauguration Celebration with North Florida residents.  Do you know that Duval County helped push Rick over the finish line to ensure he won the Governor's seat?  Thanks to you and your help, Rick will soon be putting Duval County citizens back to work.  Let's spread the message and…

This is always the strangest week of the year.  We are in between the wonderful celebration of Christmas and we are gearing down from one year and ramping up for the new one.  Gearing down and ramping up never took on so much meaning as this week will.…

The comments section of many blog postings indicate a depressed tea party coalition.  We have a right to be depressed and worried because “Mr.…

In between writing, calling and emailing our Congressmen about the Lame Duck bills, I hit the stores running to purchase a new Nativity scene for our front yard.  Ours had grown old and aged and I felt it needed to shine for all its glory.

If you are shopping for a blow up penguin, Santa in a snow globe or one with him flying an airplane, you…

We apologize for two emails in one day but this is very important.  We need you to call Congress today and we have made it easy for you to do so. 

Why?

Harry Reid has promised no one will go home until they get the “work of the people” done.  Who is Harry kidding?  We don’t want them to do any of the bills they are trying to pass through.  None of them!

First:  The Tax Hike Bill.  This bill was supposed to keep our taxes at the same…

On December 16, 1773, We the People were not happy. 

On December 16, 2010, We the People are not happy.

In 1773 an aggressive effort by the British government kept the British East India Company, a large commercial entity in Great Britain, afloat with a “bailout” by cutting taxes and regulations through the Tea Act of 1773. 

In 2008, an aggressive effort by the American government kept the banks and our financial institutions afloat with a…

WARNING: ANGRY TEA PARTY MEMBER WRITING THIS...

They are at it again. The Lame (Duck) Congress is standing in front of us, pulling out the country’s credit card and defying us to say anything as they ring up more debt right before our eyes.

As a parent, this type of defiance would have them sitting in time out and if that didn’t stop them, then a big whack on the butt would be in order. Since I would be considered a terrorist if I attempted to smack…

Thirty years ago today, my daughter was born the day before my birthday. She was the best gift I ever received and she gives me hope for tomorrow.

She was always a child filled with energy. She could not sit still and early into our relationship as mother and daughter, she pretty much wore me out! Sleep was not important to her and my attention was what she craved. She didn’t want me to leave the room without her. She kept her eyes on me and followed me everywhere I went. She…

I am a capitalist at heart and proud to admit it.

As I sit here tonight…

We have been informed that Harry Reid and the Democrats are trying to keep the people in the dark about the costs of the DREAM Act.

The Lame Duck Congress didn't get the message that the American people are sick and tired of this tactic.

We WANT TO KNOW AND DEMAND TO KNOW how much the DREAM Act will cost.

Our Senators who will vote on this need to understand how much it will cost before they vote on it.

There is a price each…

A stunning development has happened! The Food Bill evidently is Unconstitutional. All tax provisions must originate in the House and there are taxable provisions in the bill. Did you know that? An unintended consequence you might say.

Read more here and then say a Prayer of Thanks that this has been stopped - for now!
