FOR THE FIRST TIME I SAY:
GOD BLESS OBAMA!!!!!!!!!
YOU MUST READ THIS!!!

An excellent piece of writing!!!!!This lady does have
a point that perhaps most have not considered.
Destruction from within....

From an 82 year old widow in Greenville , SC ........

That is right - I will say it THANK GOD FOR THE PRESIDENT!
WHY?

1. He destroyed the Clinton Political Machine - Driving a stake thru the
heart of Hillary's Presidential aspirations - something no Republican was
ever able to do. Remember when a Hillary Presidency scared the daylights
out of you!

2. He killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - No more Kennedy's trolling
Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home. American
women and Freedom are safer tonight!

3. He is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes!
Dennis Moore had never lost a race - quit
Evan Bayh had never lost a race - quit
Byron Dorgan - had never lost a race - quit
Harry Reid - Soon to be GONE
These are just a handful of the Democrats that whose political careers
Obama has destroyed! By the end of 2010 dozens more will be!
In December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two
election cycles they had picked up 14 senate seats and 52 house seats.
The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the
Republican Party. In just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and
will probably give the house, if not the senate back to the Republicans.

4. He has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are.
Every Generation seems to need to relearn the lesson on why they should
never actually put liberals in charge. He is bringing home the lesson
very well!
Liberals tax, borrow and spend - check
Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America - check
Liberals want to take over the economy - check
Liberals think they know what is best for everyone - check
Liberals aren't happy till they are running YOUR life - check

5. He has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since
Reagan. In One year he rejuvenated the Conservative movement and brought
out to the streets millions of Freedom Loving Americans. Name me one
other time in your life that you saw your friends and neighbors this
interested in taking back America !

6. His amazing leadership has sparked the greatest period of sales of
firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have
rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while
other industries have failed, faded or moved off-shore!

7. In all honesty one year ago I was more afraid than I had ever been in
my life. Not of the economy but of the direction our country was going.
I thought Americans had forgotten what this country was all about. My
neighbors, friends, strangers proved to me that my lack of confidence of
the Greatness and Wisdom of the American people was flat out wrong.

8. When the American People wake up no smooth talking teleprompter reader
can fool them!

Barrak Obama woke up these Great Americans! Again I want say Thank you
Barrak Obama!

I feel a little better now, but I'm still not well!.............pp

SEX AND THE ELDERLY....

The eighty-three
year old lady finished her annual
>physical examination, the
>Doctor
said, "You are in fine shape for your age, Mrs.Green, but tell me,
do You still have intercourse?"
>"Just a
minute, I'll have to ask my husband, “she said.

She stepped out into the crowded reception room and yelled out loud:
"Bob, do we still have intercourse?" There was a complete hush - you could have heard a pin DROP.

Bob answered impatiently, "If I told you once,
Irma, I've told you a hundred Times...What we have is
Blue Cross!

HOA meeting this Sunday at 2:pm

Bingo Paul Pontious takes money from the Bingo players and spends it on whatever he so please. What kind of a system is this Bingo. I expect all the HOA members to vote and replace him from Bingo. Make no bones about it, he must be replaced. You just can't take money from the Bingo winners and spent it on what ever you so chose. This is stealing and that is why I don't go and play Bingo. Where are his record books and where is all the money going???? Wake up HOA members. This is a total violation of the Florida LAW.

Fw: I wanna be trailer trash..........

I'm tired of paying utility bills, property taxes, mowing the grass, etc.etc.etc.
I want to live more simply, pack up the dog and move into a travel-trailer.

I don't mind being called 'trailer trash', but I want to get your opinion.

O M G ----what is happening to our country ?? Better get used to the Muslim President............................ Military fly over deni

Better get used to the Muslim President............................
Military fly over denied

Unbelievable, isn't it!!! Everyone needs to see this. I foresee many flyovers by the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels will be canceled in the
next three years also. Also demonstrations by the Golden Knights and our service bands. This guy OBAMA is out of control!!!

Obama denied a military flyover at the annual “God and Country” rally in Idaho , where new military recruits were inducted and all military
were honored. This is the first time in 42 years that there has not been a military flyover in formation, and organizers were stunned that
Obama refused to allow this.

When the lady organizing the event contacted the Pentagon to ask why this was not allowed, as it had occurred every year for 42 years, she
was told it was because of the event’s “Christian nature.”

The video also mentions that when Obama made a recent speech, a cross and a Christian symbol for Jesus had to be covered first.

This is beyond unbelievable action by the Commander in Chief and our President, and the Americans need to know about it!

Take my ass to jail

A Virginia State trooper pulled a car over on I-64 about 2
miles south of the Virginia / West Virginia State line.
>
> When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the
driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Beckley
WV to do a show at the Shrine Circus. He didn't want to be late.
>
> The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and
said if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't
give him a ticket.

> He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and
didn't have anything to juggle. The trooper said he had some flares in
the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could,
so the trooper got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.
>
> While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the patrol
car. A drunken good old boy from West Virginia got out, watched the
performance, then went over to the patrol car, opened the
rear door and got in.
>
> The trooper observed him and went over to the patrol car,
opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he was
doing.
>
> The drunk replied, 'You might as well take my ass to jail,
cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.'

Paul Pontious was the six bidder using Bingo money

A painting that Picasso created in a single day in March
1932, "Nu au Plateau de Sculpteur (Nude, Green Leaves and
Bust)," sold for $106.5 million, a world record auction price
for a work of art, at Christie's Tuesday night. Bidding for
the Picasso lasted 8 minutes and 6 seconds; there were six
bidders.

This message was sent to all HOA members

Bingo Paul is stealing money from all the Bingo Players and using their money to buy Flowers for the Reflection Garden without their knowledge, $500.00 worth. Who in hell says he can do this? This is a violation of the Florida Law. All money must go to Charity not to a garden, and this is not Charity. Did he pay tax on this money? Again he violated the Florida laws. You just can't tell this idiot anything. He was warned by the HOA and the Florida Bingo inspector Mr Obitz. Its time the HOA committee take action and have him step down from Bingo. He was told to play the game within the law and he does not, He was told to keep records, he does not, His volunteers are not volunteers but paid helpers, getting their bingo cards half price. I and many other residents expect to see Paul Pontious to step down. I was told that he said he never call me names, this my friend is a damn lie. He ia a big lair and a thief, taken money from the Bingo players and spending it any way he wants. He must be replaced. Make no bones about it.

Again Paul Pontious

Bingo Paul is stealing money from all the Bingo Players and using their money to buy Flowers for the Reflection Garden, $500.00 worth. Who in hell says he can do this? This is a violation of the Florida Law. All money must go to Charity not to a garden, this is not Charity. Did he pay tax on this money? Again he violated the Florida laws. You just can't tell this idiot anything. He was warned by the HOA and the Florida Bingo inspector. Its time we lock him up. Don't worry Paul, Joe Hunter will be over to see you.

Update on Paul Pontious

Paul was asked if they could see his Bingo record books. Guess again, they are still not ready to be looked at. How long will it take, another 20 years? Get rid of him, it looks like he's putting money in his pocket. There enough Crooks here at lake Ashton, lets get rid of this idiot.

When the Music Stopped...

(For those who are unaware: At all military base theaters,
the National Anthem is played before the movie begins.)

This is written from a Chaplain in Iraq :

I recently attended a showing of 'Superman 3' here at LSA Anaconda. We have a large auditorium we use for movies, as well as memorial services and other large gatherings. As
is the custom at all military bases, we stood to attention when the National Anthem began before the main feature. All was going well until three-quarters of the way through The
National Anthem, the music stopped.

Now, what would happen if this occurred with 1,000 18-22 year-olds back in the States? I imagine there would be hoots, catcalls, laughter, a few rude comments, and everyone
would sit down and yell for the movie to begin. Of course, that is, if they had stood for the National Anthem in the first place.

Here in Iraq , 1,000 Soldiers continued to stand at attention, eyes fixed forward. The music started again and the Soldiers continued to quietly stand at attention. But again, at the
same point, the music stopped. What would you expect 1000 Soldiers standing at attention to do?? Frankly, I expected some laughter, and everyone would eventually sit down and
wait for the movie to start.

But No!!... You could have heard a pin drop, while every Soldier continued to stand at attention.

Suddenly,there was a lone voice from the front of the auditorium, then a dozen voices, and soon the room was filled with the voices of a thousand soldiers, finishing where the recording left off: "And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there. Oh, say does that Star Spangled Banner yet
wave, o'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave."

It was the most inspiring moment I have had in Iraq and wanted you to know what kind of Soldiers are serving you. Remember them as they fight for us!

Pass this along as a reminder to others to be ever in prayer for all our soldiers serving us here at home and abroad. Many have already paid the ultimate price.

Written by Chaplain J im Higgins LSA Anaconda is at the Ballad Airport in Iraq , north of Baghdad .

Gunshot

Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head.

He became concerned and walked over to the car. He saw that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange.

He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.

The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.

A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.

Linda is blonde, a Democrat and an avid Obama supporter, but that could be irrelevant.

Paul Pontious

Bingo Paul days are numbered, and there is a good chance he must step down this week. No HOA or CDD official that represents the residence here should not call residence Idiot's and also that person should obey the Bingo law of Florida. Bingo Paul has disobey our trust. Paul Pontious must step down from Bingo and the HOA.

545 vs 300,000,000

EVERY CITIZEN NEEDS TO READ THIS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS JOURNALIST HAS SCRIPTED IN THIS MESSAGE. READ IT AND THEN REALLY THINK ABOUT OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DEBACLE.
Charley Reese has been a journalist for 49 years.
545 PEOPLE
By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.

Have you ever wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, WHY do we have inflation and high taxes?

You and I don't propose a federal budget. The president does.

You and I don't have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.

You and I don't write the tax code, Congress does.

You and I don't set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You and I don't control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices equates to 545 human beings out of the 300 million are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because that problem was created by the Congress. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason.. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don't care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator's responsibility to determine how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President for creating deficits.. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? Nancy Pelosi. She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can not replace 545 people who stand convicted -- by present facts -- of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can't think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it's because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it's because they want it in the red ..

If the Army &Marines are in IRAQ , it's because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not receive social security but are on an elite retirement plan not available to the people, it's because they want it that way.

There are no insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like "the economy," "inflation," or "politics" that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses.

Provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!

Charlie Reese is a former columnist of the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper.

What you do with this article now that you have read it.......... Is up to you.


This might be funny if it weren't so darned true.
Be sure to read all the way to the end:

Tax his land,

Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.
Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
Taxes drove me
to my doom...'

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY? Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world. We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.
What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians?'
And I still have to 'press 1' for English!?

I hope this goes around THE USA at least 100 times!!! YOU can help it get there!!!
GO AHEAD - - - BE AN AMERICAN!!!

Ladies be carefull

This is very scary!
A new way to abduct a female.

Please pass on to all your girlfriends, wives, etc.

Just to be on the safe side. Please be aware and pass it on to anyone you think this will help.

Sunday afternoon around 5 PM I headed into the Target in Philadelphia , Pa. where crime is VERY RARE and mostly it Is with bikes being stolen!!

It was still light outside and I parked fairly close to the entrance.

As I got out of my car and began walking towards Target, an older lady shouted to me from the passenger seat of a car about 30 feet away from me.

"Ma'am you must help me, help me please, help me Ma'am!"

I looked at her in the eyes and started to walk towards her when all of a sudden I remembered an email my Mom had sent me a week or two ago about rapists and abductions using 2 elderly people to lure women in.

I paused, memorized the license plate and immediately headed into Target to get a manager to come help this lady, just in case something was up.

While the woman manager headed out there, I kept a close watch just because I was curious what was wrong with the lady and wanted to be sure nothing happened.

As the Target lady walked up towards the car and got very close to the old woman in order to help her, the back door of the car flies open and a large man with stocking cap on, jumps out and sticks a gun to the lady's stomach as he shoves her into the back of the car.

I yelled out "call 911" several times and just as I was saying that, a policeman who happened to be on the other side of the parking lot! And who, luckily had seen the entire thing happen, raced over to the car.

He was able to stop the car and arrest the male as well as the old lady, who was involved in the scheme.

By God's grace everyone was all right, including my self, although I think we were both shaken up.

Like many of you, I would not in a million years have left an elderly person who was yelling for help if it weren't for the e-mail I had read last week. So, I wanted to pass this along so you all can be aware and remember that you really can't trust anyone these days.

You just never know when something like this could happen.

I would have never dreamed it to happen to me especially on a Sunday afternoon at a Target in a safe area!

It definitely was not a coincidence that my Mom sent that Email just a few days before this all happened.

Please, be careful and always be aware of your surroundings..

Just because you individually don't go over to help someone doesn't mean you have to leave them in trouble, but don't go ALONE, you really don't know what might be going on.

2010 Community Association Legislation You Lost your right

There are myriad opinions concerning Florida community association legislation passed this year.
We are very disappointed the Community Association Protection Act did not get support this year and the legislation that passed was so entwined by special interests that in some cases pollute the best interest of owners and members of associations.
Please take a look at the bills themselves at http://www.markRbenson.com

Please contact Governor Crist with your recommendations as to whether to sign or veto the bills.
Charlie.Crist@myflorida.com and/or
mailto:charlie.crist@eog.myflorida.com
Remember if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Please participate in the process. These Bills will directly impact on you, your homes and finances.

CALL Alert for April 30, 2010 - CONTACT GOVERNOR CRIST AND URGE HIM TO VETO SB 1964!
The Legislature has passed a VERY BAD bill for Community Associations and Florida Consumers. It takes away the right to sue “design professionals” for their mistakes. Millions of Floridians who reside in Community Associations will have their rights taken away by SB 1964. On April 28, 2010, SB 1964 passed in the Florida House and will be sent to Governor Crist for consideration. Please write, call and e-mail Governor Crist today and demand that he veto this horrible piece of legislation.
What SB 1964 Does:
· It protects design professionals (e.g. architects and engineers) that fail to properly carry out their professional duties. For example, if a design professional designs a roof that collapses, the owners will have to pay to correct it and will not have the ability to fully recover those damages from the design professional that caused the problem.
· It gives design professionals immunity that no other profession has… not lawyers, doctors or accountants. Other professionals cannot limit their professional duty of care.
Why SB 1964 is Bad for Community Associations and Florida Consumers:
· Community Associations are constantly fixing their roofs, roads, balconies, seawalls, fire alarms, elevators, etc. with the assistance of design professionals. SB 1964 will limit the ability of Community Associations to recover damages when design professionals make mistakes.
· It will overrule numerous Florida Supreme Court cases and Appellate decisions which protect the rights of Florida Consumers to sue negligent professionals, including design professionals, for their mistakes.
You may also use the Legislator Connect feature on the CALL website (www.callbp.com) to contact Governor Crist. A copy of SB 1964 has been posted on the CALL website for your review. Please help us defeat this truly onerous piece of legislation.

WHY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION BILL H561/S1196 WILL NOT HELP ASSOCIATIONS/OWNERS!

Houses Passes CS/CS/CS/SB 1196

Take a well deserved bow. You did it! Today the Florida House of Representatives overwhelming passed CS/CS/CS/SB 1196 (passed on 4/16/2010 by the Florida Senate) sending it to Governor Crist for his signature. Please take a moment to contact the Governor (http://www.flgov.com/contact_governor) and urge him to sign the bill right away. This is very important given his veto of similar last year.

Community Association Bill, 1196, Passes the House 107-4!

When the 2010 Legislative Session in Florida started back in March there were dozens of community association bills filed covering everything from lender reform to making it easier for buyers of bulk units to invest in failed or floundering condominium projects.
