Allergies


Allergies!
Yes, allergies. I am having a terrible time this year. Today it is windy. Grass and tree pollen are blowing all over the place.
I don't remember seeing so much pollen when I was growing up. It has to be global warming. We used to get a lot of rain during the month of April. I am sure you have heard of the old saying "April showers bring May flowers".
Or is it possibly the calendar? We use a standard calendar which doesn't adjust according to lunar and solar orbits. Well, who knows.
And that's my opinion.

That's My Opinion



Why would anyone want to title a blog "That's My Opinion". Well, I guess it would be because it is my opinion. Today's post honors those who were killed and injured in the Boston Marathon explosion. A big "thank you" to all who have helped the people of Boston and surrounding areas with bringing closure to this stressful event. I will begin to post my thoughts weekly and hope that you take the time to return to read my posts. And That's My Opinion!

I now understand...

I was trying to understand why Governor R. Perry would announce his candidacy in South Carolina and not Texas. I think I know why. He is a part of the Koch brothers' agenda. Why do I say this? Well, Koch brothers' ideology used to be embedded in the south. Fortunately, there are people who no longer support this ideology and are pushing back. Now, as a nation, we need to push back and tell them we will not allow you to use your money to influence the way we think and live.

This video is the perfect example of how a community pushed back. I applaud and support you!

Everyone, heed the warning! The Koch brothers are coming to a town near you.

And that's my Opinion!

Political Views

I am changing the focus of my blog. I have decided to use my it to voice my opinion on today's political climate. Why? Well, I am confused. I am not confused as to what I truly believe and feel but am confused about the validity of the information being disseminated.
I hope I don't offend anyone who is currently following my blog. I strongly feel I need a means to voice my political opinion.

Thank you for reading. I hope you enjoy my future posts.

Why are you against my profession?

Why are you against my profession? Why are you bashing my teacher association?  Why are you advertising negativity against it? I have the right to belong to any organization /association of my choosing. I belong because the faith of my profession is determined by the actions of the state government so why are you against it.
Unfortunately I don't have the big bucks you have to change the course of history. I don't  have the money you have to advertise negativity. I don't have the money you have to be a big bully. Yes, a bully.  So, please tell me why you are against my association? Why are you against my profession?

Why are they bashing unions?

Last night, while watching R. Maddow, it all clicked. It clicked as to why Republicans want to abolish unions/associations. After watching the show it became apparent to me the Republicans in office owe the conservative groups a favor, or two. In order for the conservative groups to have political donation domination in the next election they need to abolish the unions/associations.


Well, here is how it goes. The Supreme Court ruling, which now allows groups to donate large amounts of money to political campaigns unknowingly to the public, has opened Pandora's Box. The evilness of political donation domination has begun. There are 7 strong conservative groups and 3 unions/associations on the top 10 list for political donations in the 2010 election. Well, I guess you know who the conservative groups supported in the 2010 election. The 3 unions/associations (AFSCME, NEA and SEIU) were the only liberal groups on the list. Yes, that is correct. The only 3 (I'm using numerals for emphasis). These groups generally support Democrats. Consider this point: If the 3 unions/associations (AFSCME, NEA, SEIU) are abolished then only the conservative groups are on the list. Hmmmmm! Total political donation domination.    

This site Open Secrets.org , I found while reading Maddow Blog, shows outside spending for the last elections to prove I am not dreaming this stuff. You need to take a close look at the chart towards the bottom of the site titled:

Top Groups Making Outside Expenditures in 2010 Elections, Excluding Party Committees 

It's not about the unions/associations. It's about political donation domination. Don't be fooled. I'm going to end this post for now so you can look closely at the site OpenSecrets.org. Be knowledgeable and be aware so we are prepared to stand up for what's right like they are doing in Wisconsin.
