We won -- again!

Ever since I started this blog about ten months ago, there have been ONLY two times that I have OPENLY and VEHEMENTLY advocated the opposition to the excercize of legislative authority on issues, such as the MANDATORY vaccination of our daughters against the HPV vaccine from our own Kentucky General Assembly and the immigration amnesty "hocus pocus" from our Senators in Washington, D. C. . I am happy to report that in each case, we won. Our collective efforts continue to showcase the power of "WE, the people" and how we can, like General Tecumseh Sherman and General Ulysses Grant, marshal our troops and ammunition to bring an end to injustice. Thanks to EVERYONE of you who spoke up by calling, writing or emailing your elected Representatives to ENSURE that the peoples' will was done on this issue. I am happy to report to ALL of you that Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has pulled the ill-advised immigration bill from further consideration. Please call, write or email the following Senators, who used whatever means was at their disposal, to derail the bill. This calls for another label for this type of post: Keeping them honest.
