			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Please take time to read the following message and pass it on to everyone that you have on your email address list. This is the only way that this information will be available to the general public because the news media will not print or program this on TV or Radio. At the TEA PARTY, a black man, Dr. Donald May, delivered this message from the courthouse steps in Lubbock . He electrified the audience like I haven&#8217;t seen in a long time. His delivery was masterful. I am sorry you could not see him in action. Anyway, I thought you might enjoy his words. <strong>The news media was there, but not one word of this man&#8217;s appearance ever appeared on TV or in print, even though he completely dominated the scene.</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;This is A Time For Courage &#8221; April 15, 2009 &#8211; 11:49pm Ladies and gentlemen, This is a Time For Courage. We are gathered here today on the Plains of West Texas in common purpose. We are here to remind our government that this is our country. We the People are still in charge, and our government is still our servant and not our master. Our Nation&#8217;s founding document is The Declaration of Independence .. It tells us that our rights come from God and not from a small group of Elite men and women. Our Constitution starts with the words &#8220;We the People.&#8221; Our Constitution was written for ordinary Americans like you and me. Our Constitution protects us from our government and from the politicians. Our President has complained that our Constitution gives ordinary people too much protection. He has ridiculed us for the high value we place on our Bibles, our guns, our personal property, and our Liberty .. He tells us we do not deserve to keep the money we have earned. We are told freedom has not worked. Personal responsibility, free enterprise, and Liberty have not been effective. Our government will now make more of our decisions for us.</p>
<p>Other than our military, I can think of not one government agency I have ever found to be helpful. And speaking of our military, how about those Navy Seals blowing the heads off those three terrorist pirates? Don&#8217;t you just wish our entire government would function with such efficiency, professionalism, and courage? We watch in disbelief as our beloved United States is weakened economically, militarily, and morally by a Radical President and his eager accomplices. What has taken generations to build is systematically destroyed and replaced with the same Socialist Evil that brought poverty, destruction, and despair to untold hundreds of millions. The problems we face today have occurred because we have not defended our Nation from Socialism.</p>
<p>For too long we have allowed the wrong people to make the worst possible decisions. The Bible warns us of class hatred. The Radical leadership of our government daily fans the evil flames of class envy. Our European and Canadian friends beg us to not make the same Socialist mistakes they did. The President of the European Union warned our President that his Socialist economic plans are taking the World down the &#8220;road to Hell.&#8221; The path to power for Socialists includes taking God and guns from the citizens. Without spiritual and physical protection, people cannot defend themselves and their Liberty.. They soon become slaves. We are angered that our President apologizes for the exceptionalism and heroism of the United States of America. We are deeply troubled that he told others the United States is not a Christian nation.. We are angered that we have been called cowards and racists because we oppose Socialism. Socialism is not racial. Socialism is an equal opportunity destroyer. We are angered that a recent Department of Homeland Security report has singled out our military men and women who are returning home as being radical threats. The report also characterizes you and me as right-wing extremists and radicals because we favor smaller government and lower taxes. You and I are average citizens who believe just like most of our fellow Americans.. We want our government to leave us alone and to keep its hands off our money, our religion, or guns, our private property, and our lives. We demand that our government stop spending money it does not have. Stop confiscating our money and private property. Stop printing money. Stop subsidizing Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the other failed financial institutions and companies.</p>
<p>Mr. President, stop appointing tax cheats to positions of power and influence.</p>
<p>Mr. President, secure our borders.</p>
<p>Mr. President, do not divert money from our missile defense, F-22 Raptors, and other vital military equipment. This gives encouragement, aid, and comfort to our enemies. Protecting us is your number one job.</p>
<p>Mr. President, do not give voting rights to millions of illegal aliens and felons. You have no more right to create new voters for your benefit than you do to use our money to buy the 2010 and 2012 Elections. We gather peacefully here today because there is a growing concern for what our government is doing to us and to our future. We fear for the very survival of our Republic. Yet there is much to make us hopeful and to fill our hearts with optimism and courage.</p>
<p>This is still our country! The Constitution of the Unites States belongs to We the People. Our Constitution still protects us from our government. Call every possible elected official, including our President, Vice President, and the Speaker of the House. Demand that they stop stealing our money and giving it to ACORN and their other political supporters in order to buy votes.</p>
<p>Call Senators Cornyn and Hutchison, and Representative Neugebauer. Thank them. Urge them to do much more. Remind them now is a time for action and not for campaigning. Volunteer to work on our 2010 Census. Confront ACORN.</p>
<p>Keep our Census honest&#8230; We must not allow our President to take control of our Census for his political advantage. We must replace as much of our Far Left Congress as possible in 2010. Get involved&#8230; Do not let the ACORN control our 2010 Election. Talk with someone every day who does not understand our nation&#8217;s history and our great heritage.</p>
<p>Tell them why the United States is a good and prosperous nation. It still remains that brightly lit city on the hill. It still is the best hope for all mankind.. Talk with all of the young people you can find. They are our future. Many do not understand what they have and that their future is being destroyed. Encourage your elected State officials to pass legislation that will protect us from our Federal government. This is a time for strong peaceful action. Let us pray that We the People can quickly return our government to its Constitutional responsibilities. Our President and Congress were elected to be our servants and not our masters. May God help our President and Congress to quickly realize the error of their ways and stop their reckless and unwarranted spending, cut our taxes, and reduce the size of our Federal bureaucracy. If they do not, may God grant us the courage and determination to vote them out of power next year. May God richly bless and protect each of you, and our Constitution, as together we pursue Liberty!</p>
<p>&#8230;Delivered at the Lubbock , Texas , TEA PARTY by Dr. Donald May This should be on the front page of every newspaper in the USA instead of being swept under the rug and kept off the news broadcasts. Our news media sucks, plain and simple. They are not &#8220;reporting the news,&#8221;&#8211; they are telling us what THEY want us to hear and that is not reporting the news. One more step toward Socialism. Let&#8217;s keep this going so everyone will know the truth.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="EC_ecmsonormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m Tired</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="color:blue;"><strong><span style="font-size:x-small;color:#000000;">by</span></strong></span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><strong><span style="color:black;">Robert A. Hall</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="color:blue;">  </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’ll be 63 soon. Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs, but job-hunting every day, I’ve worked, hard, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven’t called in sick in seven or eight years&#8230; I make a good salary, but I didn’t inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, there’s no retirement in sight, and I’m tired. Very tired.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of being told that I have to “spread the wealth around” to people who don’t have my work ethic. I’m tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy or stupid to earn it. </span></strong></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of being told that I have to pay more taxes to “keep people in their homes.” Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I’m willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the leftwing Congresscritters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble help them—with their own money.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of being told how bad America is by leftwing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they get their way, the United States will have the religious freedom and women’s rights of Saudi Arabia, the economy of Zimbabwe, the freedom of the press of China, the crime and violence of Mexico, the tolerance for Gay people of Iran, and the freedom of speech of Venezuela. Won’t multiculturalism be beautiful?</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of being told that Islam is a “Religion of Peace,” when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family “honor;” of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren’t “believers;” of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for “adultery;” of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls; all in the name of Allah, because the Qur’an and Shari’a law tells them to do it.</span></strong></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I believe “a man should be judged by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin.”  I’m tired of being told that “race doesn’t matter” in the post-racial world of President Obama, when it’s all that matters in affirmative action jobs, lower college admission and graduation standards for minorities (harming them the most), government contract set-asides, tolerance for the ghetto culture of violence and fatherless children that hurts minorities more than anyone, and in the appointment of US Senators from Illinois. I think it’s very cool that we have a black president and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual and less in an all-knowing government.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of a news media that thinks Bush’s fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that think Obama’s, at triple the cost, were wonderful. That thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress, that picked over every line of Bush’s military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his, that slammed Palin with two years as governor for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama with three years as senator as potentially the best president ever.</span></strong></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? Get a clue. I didn’t vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of being told that out of “tolerance for other cultures” we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America, while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to teach love and tolerance.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of being told I must lower my living standard to fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also own a three-bedroom condo where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore’s, and <em>if you’re greener than Gore, you’re green enough.</em></span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of being told that drug addicts have a disease, and I must help support and treat them, and pay for the damage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of a dark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder up their noses while they tried to fight it off? I don’t think Gay people choose to be Gay, but I damn sure think druggies chose to take drugs. And I’m tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsoheader"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of illegal aliens being called “undocumented workers,” especially the ones who aren’t working, but are living on welfare or crime.. What’s next? Calling drug dealers, “Undocumented Pharmacists”? And, no, I’m not against Hispanics. Most of them are Catholic and it’s been a few hundred years since </span></strong></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsoheader"><strong><span style="color:black;">Catholics wanted to kill me for my religion. I’m willing to fast track for citizenship any Hispanic person who can speak English, doesn’t have a criminal record and who is self-supporting without family on welfare, or who serves honorably for three years in our military. Those are the citizens we need..</span></strong></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of latte liberals and <em>journalists</em>, who would never wear the uniform of the Republic themselves, or let their entitlement-handicapped kids near a recruiting station, trashing our military. They and their kids can sit at home, never having to make split-second decisions under life and death circumstances, and bad mouth better people then themselves. Do bad things happen in war? You bet. Do our troops sometimes misbehave? Sure. Does this compare with the atrocities that were the policy of our enemies for the last fifty years—and still are? Not even close. So here’s the deal. I’ll let myself be subjected to all the humiliation and abuse that was heaped on terrorists at Abu Ghraib or Gitmo, and the critics can let themselves be subject to captivity by the Muslims who tortured and beheaded Daniel Pearl in Pakistan, or the Muslims who tortured and murdered </span></strong><strong><span style="font-weight:normal;color:black;">Marine</span><span style="color:black;"> Lt.. Col. William Higgins in Lebanon, or the Muslims who ran the blood-spattered Al Qaeda torture rooms our troops found in Iraq, or the Muslims who cut off the heads of schoolgirls in Indonesia, because the girls were Christian.. Then we’ll compare notes. British and American soldiers are the <em>only troops in history</em> that civilians came to for help and handouts, instead of hiding from in fear.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers—bums are bi-partisan. And I’m tired of people telling me we need bi-partisanship.. I live in Illinois, where the “Illinois Combine” of Democrats and Republicans has worked together harmoniously to loot the public for years. And I notice that the tax cheats in Obama’s cabinet are bi-partisan as well.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><span style="color:blue;"> </span><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m tired of hearing wealthy athletes, entertainers and politicians of both parties talking about innocent mistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when we all know they think their only mistake was getting caught. I’m tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">Speaking of poor, I’m tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn’t have that in 1970, but we didn’t know we were “poor.” The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing. </span></strong></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">I’m real tired of people who don’t take responsibility for their lives and actions. I’m tired of hearing them blame the government, or discrimination, or big-whatever for their problems.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">Yes, I’m damn tired. But I’m also glad to be 63. Because, mostly, I’m not going to get to see the world </span></strong></p>
<p class="EC_ecmsonormal"><strong><span style="color:black;">these people are making. I’m just sorry for my granddaughter.</span></strong><span style="color:blue;"> </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the deal with drug cartel in Mexico?  Well, people are being killed (more specifically beheaded).  The political officials and law enforcement are being forced out of office by threats of continuing acts of violence.  The cartel is growing more and more powerful while we watch.  The border is unsafe and Americans are urged not to travel into Mexico alone.  Also, people should be aware of the danger due to the vulgar and extreme acts of violence by the drug smuggling cowards.  Should we not be after the cartel?  The violence and drugs is now spilling into our nation.  When will the need for intervention arrive?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Skydiving is something that everyone should try in their lifetime.  There are risks involved (ex. plane malfunction, chute failure, landing on/in hazards), but people die every day doing everyday activities.  The experience was intense, from the moment the plane door was opened I saw life in a new way.  The humming of the plane engine, the cool wind hitting your face and nothing to stand on for 10,000 ft all played into making this one of the most enjoyable experiences of my life.  Once you are off the step of the plane and in mid-air, you are weightless!  Just plummeting to the earth over 50 mph dropping thousands of feet in seconds (less than a minute 5000 feet freefall).  Once the chute opens, you know you made it.  You wonder why people fear the sport.  It was wonderful!  I floated from 4,800 ft with my chute open and I was in awe of the view beneath my feet.  As the ground neared, I was overwhelmed with the excitement of doing something so extreme, dangerous and misunderstood.  The preparation for the jump was very thorough and didn&#8217;t fill me with an ounce of fear before the jump.  People should get out and enjoy the opportunity of absolute tranquility!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An update to my computer difficulties&#8230;I had several worms, trojan virues, and spyware on my computer, the key word is <strong>HAD</strong>.  I visited a site, which is relatively new and it has a free version of amazing software that got rid of all unwanted crap.  Here is the Web site for all of those who have ever had or those who have current problems&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here I am.  I have been struggling with some infectious viruses on the laptop.  Luckily, I am able to go to my girlfriend&#8217;s dad&#8217;s house.  I have been unable to keep up on here.  Has anyone ever had to reformat their hard drive, that being the only solution.  I had a lot of pictures, papers, past assignments and things that are important to me on that laptop, but some were unretrieveable.  Well, on the bright side of things, OSU won big this weekend.  We are gaining a lot of self-confidence, which is great!  I think we have a good chance of winning our first five games, you can quote me on that&#8230;Well, I have two online courses that I have not been able to work on for the past several days because of the viruses, worms, and spyware!!!!!  So I bid you all farewell for now&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always hear that Stillwater would not survive if the university, OSU, did not exist within its boundaries.  I want to know, does Stillwater support Oklahoma State University and help attract the students through the scenery, attractions, and people?  Or is it the other way around, does Oklahoma State University support the town of Stillwater?  The large amount of students add to the economy, social makeup, crime, and all aspects of life.  Are stores attracted to Stillwater as a town, or are they attracted to Stillwater as a gateway to reach those students?  I think that some stores have a better chance of survival depending on the product, service, or ideas that are offered&#8230;the target audience may or may not be the students.  If there were more students who resided here (as <strong>permanent</strong> residents) for the duration of school (four to five years) the stores would have a better shot at &#8220;making it.&#8221;  It is a huge investment, a risky endeavor&#8230;Is it realistic that stores would have a large enough group of consumers to &#8220;survive?&#8221;</p>
