Meet Maine 's New Governor --- I hope this makes its way around the USA several times!!!!! 
Meet Maine 's New Governor --- In case you haven't heard about this guy before, his name will stick in your mind!
The new Maine Governor, Paul LePage is making New Jersey
's Chris Christie look like an enabler. He isn't afraid to say what he
thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth, his
popularity goes up.
He brought down the house at his inauguration when he shook his fist
toward the media box and said, "You're on notice! I've inherited a
financially troubled State to run. Observe...cover what we do...but
don't whine if I don't waste time responding to your every whim just for
your amusement."

During his campaign for Governor, he was talking to commercial
fishermen who are struggling because of federal fisheries rules. They
complained that 0bama brought his family to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park
for a long Labor Day holiday and found time to meet with union leaders,
but wouldn't talk to the fishermen. LePage replied, "I'd tell him to go
to hell and get out of my State." The Lame Stream Media crucified
LePage, but he jumped 6 points in the pre-election poll.
The Martin Luther King incident was a political sandbag, which brought
him National exposure. The 'lame stream' media crucified him, but word
on the street is very positive. The NAACP specifically asked LePage to
spend MLK Day visiting black inmates at the Maine State Prison. He told
them that he would meet with ALL inmates, regardless of race, if he were
to visit the prison. The NAACP balked and then put out a news release
claiming falsely that he refused to participate in any MLK events. He
read it in the paper for the 1st time the next morning while being
driven to an event and went ballistic because none of the reporters had
called him for comment before running the NAACP release.
He arrived at that event & said in front of a TV camera, "If they
want to play the race card on me they can kiss my ass", and he reminded
them that he has an adopted black son from Jamaica and that he attended
the local MLK Breakfast every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He
started his morning there on MLK Day.)
He then stated that there's a right way and a wrong way to meet with
the Governor, and he put all special interests on notice that press
releases, media leaks, and all demonstrations would prove to be the
wrong way. He said any other group, which acted like the NAACP could
expect to be at the bottom of the Governor's priority list!
He then did the following, and judging from local radio talk show
callers, his popularity increased even more: The State employees union
complained because he waited until 3 P.M. before closing State offices
and facilities and sending non-emergency personnel home during the last
blizzard. The prior Governor would often close offices for the day with
just a forecast before the first flakes. (Each time the State closes for
snow, it costs the taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no work in
return.)
LePage was CEO of the Marden's chain of discount family bargain retail
stores before election as governor. He noted that State employees
getting off work early could still find lots of retail stores open to
shop. So, he put the State employees on notice by announcing: "If
Marden's is open, Maine is open!"
He told State employees: "We live in Maine in the winter, for heaven's sake, and should know how to drive in it. Otherwise, apply for a State job in Florida !"
Governor LePage symbolizes what America needs; Refreshing politicians who aren't self-serving and who exhibit common sense.
THE LAW IS THE LAW So "if" the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it.
And "if" that same government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are
not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen.
I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.
I would like to think that those people have the American public's best interests at heart.
BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?
Since
we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His
Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe Government
(Federal, State and Local) and its employees should participate in
Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our
government is eliminating from many facets of American life.
I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the" US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good
Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's
just another day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to
worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just
another day.
I'm thinking a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all
government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday
& Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just
like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be
"politically correct."
In fact....I think our government should work on Sundays (initially set
aside for worshipping God....) because, after all, our government says
that it should be just another day....
What
do you all think???? If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our
elected officials will stop giving in to the "minority opinions" and
begin, once again, to represent the "majority" of ALL of the American
people.
SO BE IT...........Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our country! 'Amen' and 'Amen' Touché!
These are definitely things I never thought about but from now on, I
will be sure to question those in government who support these changes.
At the top, it says, "I hope this makes its way around the USA several times!!!!!" Let's see that it does.
