Scott Brown wins!

Is Obama “ALL IN”

Jeffrey — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:34:59 +0000

That is the question on my mind?
Will Obama go to Massachusetts and fire his last round?
Maybe he will… but will this help anyone? Coakley? Maybe… Obama’s health farce? Doubtful.

Win lose or draw America is winning in Massachusetts!
For once in my life time my vote really matters, and if you are from Massachusetts, your vote matters also.

I say, let Obama bring it on! BRING IT ON! Because it’s “WE THE PEOPLE” who have had enough of the shenanigans!
Had enough of the lies.
Had enough of the close door deals.
Had enough of the agenda shove in our faces!

Damn it, BRING IT ON! I dare you!

whew… now I have to call ten people and bring them to vote this Tuesday. Vote for Scott Brown and end the madness!

This is the Change I can believe in. And change you can believe in. Call your friends, speak to your neighbors, put down your shovels and hoes! To ARMS! To arms in the ballot box! The revolution is upon us!

Oh boy!

Jeffrey — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 21:05:11 +0000

Some polls even… some polls have Brown ahead!

Hold on to your hats as Massachusetts vote Tuesday the 19th!

Obama is comming to Massachusetts. For what? To see me of course!

Mr President, don’t waste the trip, my vote is not for sale. Not to you, Coakley, or the Unions and lobbyists that YOU represent!

Get out and vote for Scott Brown voters!!!!!!

I support Scott Brown!

Why I am voting for Scott Brown on January 19th.

From Scott’s web site:

Issues

Why I’m Running…
America is a great country but we also have some challenges that we need to solve if we’re going to remain the world’s superpower. The most important of our challenges is getting the U.S. economy moving again. People are hurting as they struggle to make ends meet. They’re worried about their future, and that of their children and grandchildren. I want to ensure that we leave them an America that is financially stronger and independent: minus a national debt that we can never repay.

Health Care

I believe that all Americans deserve health care coverage, but I am opposed to the health care legislation that is under consideration in Congress and will vote against it. It will raise taxes, increase government spending and lower the quality of care, especially for elders on Medicare. I support strengthening the existing private market system with policies that will drive down costs and make it easier for people to purchase affordable insurance. In Massachusetts, I support the 2006 healthcare law that was successful in expanding coverage, but I also recognize that the state must now turn its attention to controlling costs.

Economy
I am a free enterprise advocate who believes that lower taxes can encourage economic growth. Raising taxes stifles growth, weakens the economy and puts more people out of work. Our economy works best when individuals have more of their income to spend, and businesses have money to invest and add jobs. I have been a fiscal watchdog in the state legislature fighting bigger government, higher taxes and wasteful spending.

Energy and Environment
I support common-sense environment policy that will help to reduce pollution and preserve our precious open spaces. I realize that without action now, future generations will be left to clean up the mess we leave. In order to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, I support reasonable and appropriate development of alternative energy sources such as wind, solar, nuclear, geothermal and improved hydroelectric facilities. I oppose a national cap and trade program because of the higher costs that families and businesses would incur.

Education
I am passionate about improving the quality of our public schools. Accountability and high standards are paramount. I support choice through charter schools, as well as the MCAS exam as a graduation requirement. I have worked to ensure that all children have access to a quality education. I am a strong advocate for the METCO program, which provides lower income students with broader educational opportunities.

Immigration
I recognize that our strength as a nation is built on the immigrant experience in America. I welcome legal immigration to this country. However, we are also a nation of laws and government should not adopt policies that encourage illegal immigration. Providing driver’s licenses and in-state tuition to illegal immigrant families will act as a magnet in drawing more people here in violation of the law and it will impose new costs on taxpayers. I oppose amnesty, and I believe we ought to strengthen our border enforcement and institute an employment verification system with penalties for companies that hire illegal immigrants.

Veterans
As a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army National Guard, I am uniquely aware of the importance and sacrifice of our men and women serving in the military. I have been a vigorous supporter of legislation providing benefits to returning service members, as well as, benefits for the families of those killed in action. I believe we need to recognize the sacrifice of all of our servicemembers by keeping better track of returning military personnel so they get the services they deserve. That includes providing them with first-class medical care and other benefits to which they are entitled. I am known as a leader on veterans’ issues through my work on the Veterans and Federal Affairs Committee, the Hidden Wounds of War Commission, and the Governor’s Task Force on Returning Veterans.

Gun issues
I support the Second Amendment and believe that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms as a basic constitutional liberty. I support safe and responsible gun ownership.

Death penalty
I believe there are some crimes that are so heinous that they deserve capital punishment. Our Government should have the ability to impose the death penalty in cases where it is justified.

Abortion
While this decision should ultimately be made by the woman in consultation with her doctor, I believe we need to reduce the number of abortions in America. I believe government has the responsibility to regulate in this area and I support parental consent and notification requirements and I oppose partial birth abortion. I also believe there are people of good will on both sides of the issue and we ought to work together to support and promote adoption as an alternative to abortion.

Marriage
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. States should be free to make their own laws in this area, so long as they reflect the people’s will as expressed through them directly, or as expressed through their elected representatives.

Israel

Israel has made enormous sacrifices in an attempt to secure peace – including unilateral withdrawal from Gaza. I support a two-state solution that reaffirms Israel’s right to exist and provides the Palestinians with a place of their own where both sides can live in peace and security. As our closest ally in the Middle East, Israel lives every day under the threat of terror yet shares with America a dedication to democratic ideals, a respect for faith, and a commitment to peace in the region. Until a lasting peace is achieved, I support the security barrier erected by Israel which has proven successful in protecting Israeli civilians from terrorist attacks.

Iran
I support the bi-partisan Iran sanctions bill and believe that until Ahmadinejad gives up his nuclear ambitions he should be isolated from the rest of the world. With its reckless pursuit of nuclear weapons, Iran represents the biggest threat to Israel. Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust denier who has threatened to wipe Israel off the map. Meeting with him confers legitimacy when the only correct response is to treat him as an outcast. A personal meeting with Ahmadinejad, as suggested by my opponent, would embolden him and be used as a propaganda tool to strengthen his position.

My New Project National News and Discussion

Jeffrey — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 01:11:43 +0000

I have been working on a new site.

http://clintonmass.us has been a huge success with over 700,000 hits a month so…

http://themodernconstitutionalist.com/ check out my National site and join in the discussion!

The Modern Constitutionalist

A brief introduction:

What is with this Constitution?

The United States Constitution is the foundation that all our rights, liberties, and freedoms are secured in. It defines our representation in government, the basis for our laws, and the structure of our government.

Our freedoms are a natural right, but these rights need a government in place to secure them, a strong government. Yet one that is bound by checks and balances.

Herein lies the struggle for The Modern Constitutionalist…

Enjoy, Jeff

The Ring Family web site

Jeffrey — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:01:32 +0000

I was recently contacted by family (Hi Jeffry). Jeff had done a web search and found himself here.

I have been working on the Ring family web site for sometime now… trying to get it right. But, never quite happy with it. So, my distant cousin perked my interest again.

The Rings attempted to come to the new world with the Mayflower but were turned back when the Speedwell sprung a leak. William and Mary would have to wait another nine years for the next opportunity. William did not survive the wait. But in 1629 Mary and her three children (Andrew, Elizabeth, and Sarah) set a course for the Plymouth Plantation.

With some help from other Rings I am attempting to establish “THE” Ring resource on the web.

www.ring.us.fm

If you are a Ring or are related to one, stop on by and check out the progress.

Happy New Year!

Happy new Year to one and all!
I pray that God blesses you with a healthy and prosperous New Year!
