Eagle Forum of Sacramento

All Eagle Forum Friends:

Georgiana Preskar’s brother, Walter Pierce, is in urgent need of prayer. Please pray for his speedy recovery. He was having a somewhat routine back surgery, and before the surgery was completed, he went into shock. He is currently on a respirator as the professionals in Chicago attempt to get his organs stabilized and functioning normally.

Georgiana is recovering from knee surgery and cannot get to her brother at this time, so please pray for her peace, and Walter’s complete healing.

With lawmakers embroiled in heated budget negotiations that have brought state government
to a standstill, the Democrats are playing hardball-and not just with Republicans.
The buzz in the capitol is that Democrat Assemblywoman Nicole Parra has been ousted
from her capitol office by Speaker Karen Bass for refusing to vote for the Democrats’
budget proposal-a budget that fails to reign in excessive spending and includes
a tax increase.
Moments ago on the Assembly floor, Assemblyman Todd Spitzer rose to question why
the Speaker had given Assemblywoman Parra just 2 hours to vacate her capitol office.
The response from leadership was that the Speaker has full discretion to reassign
capitol offices whenever she chooses.
Typically, a member is reassigned a smaller office in the capitol when they have
disobeyed or displeased leadership. In Assemblywoman Parra’s case, she was not
just reassigned a smaller capitol office, she is being moved across the street to
the Legislative Office Building.
“This is unprofessional and undignified behavior on the part of Speaker Bass,” stated
Meredith Turney, legislative liaison for Capitol Resource Family Impact. “Assemblywoman
Parra was elected by the people of her district to represent them in the capitol
building. By kicking the assemblywoman and her staff out of the capitol, Speaker
Bass has effectively told the people of Assemblywoman Parra’s district that their
voice will not be represented or heard in the capitol.”
“This type of political punishment proves that Democrats will not tolerate independent
thought,” stated Karen England, executive director of Capitol Resource Family Impact.
“How many other lawmakers are being bullied and intimidated by Democrat leadership
for refusing to join them in their out-of-control spending?”
“We urge all citizens to call Assembly Speaker Karen Bass and ask her why she’s
kicked Assemblywoman Nicole Parra out of the office her constituents voted her into,”
stated Turney. “And we urge them to call Assemblywoman Parra and their legislator
and encourage them to hold the line against higher taxes and irresponsible spending!”

Barack Obama loves to spend money–your money. He wants universal health care, regardless of the cost or quality of service. He wants a train on every corner.

Obama does not mind killing jobs in the name of global warming and making sure gas gas $5-7 per gallon.

Now he has come up with a total transfer of money from America’’s poor and middle class–he wants to give $845 BILLION to the United Nations.

I guess that since he comes from Chicago, he is accepting of corrupt politics and thieves in government.

This will be a disaster for the United States. The UN and corrupt governments from around the world will get the money that belongs to our families. His goal is to level the field. Instead of bringing freedom to other nations, he is bringing our cash. In the end, we will become as poor as Europe–10% unemployment, stagnation and depression.

A vote for Obama is a vote to make America poorer.

Dear Christian Leader,

As you may know, mega-church pastor Rick Warren (Saddleback Church, Lake Forest, CA) is hosting a Civil Forum with McCain and Obama next Sat., (August 16, from 5-7pm); please listen in on www.SaddlebackCivilForum.com where the forum will be streamed live. Rick Warren will moderate and has said he will ask questions about poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate, and human rights.

But what about asking the candidates about sanctity of life and Biblical marriage? These are the Biblical issues nearest to God’s heart, and the voters must hear a clear differentiation between these candidates. VERY IMPORTANTLY, many undecided Christian voters will form their opinions about the candidates based on this forum which will be streamed live across the country. If they’re only presented with questions about social concerns but not about the greatest moral issues of our day, then how can they be diffentiated in the minds of the voters?

Below in the “PS” section is an Email that you’re encouraged to “cut and paste, ” customize to fit your style, and Email to PastorRick@Saddleback.net.
OR you can open, customize, and mail the attached half-page letter on the topic to Pastor Warren.
OR call Saddleback Church at 949-609-8000 and politely request that Pastor Warren ask the candidates questions about sanctity of life and Biblical marriage at the candidate forum on August 16.

I think you’ll agree that THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT as many uncommitted Christians will be impacted by the answers given at this forum, and ACTION IS REQUIRED A.S.A.P., especially if you’re planning to communicate by snail mail.

PLEASE let me know if you plan to communicate with Rick Warren’s office - I’m keeping track infomally. Thanks for your tireless work to advance Biblical principles and God-honoring leaders who preserve America’s Biblical foundation and the liberty it begets.

–In His service, praying and working to protect America’s Biblical foundation, life, marriage, and religious liberty,

SAMPLE EMAIL MESSAGE TO PASTOR RICK WARREN.
(Customize and Email to: PastorRick@Saddleback.net)

Dear Pastor Warren,

Thank you for your love for Jesus, and for the Civil Forum you’re conducting with McCain and Obama at Saddleback on August 16, which I’d like to attend or will watch via Internet.

Your press release indicates that you plan to ask important questions about the poverty, HIV/AIDS, climate, and human rights.
In addition, please ask the candidates clear questions about the sanctity of life and Biblical marriage, two crucial Biblical issues that are very near to the heart of God, with questions in your own words perhaps like:

1. Will you work to protect life, including opposing policy and legislation that promotes abortion?

2. Will you work actively to protect marriage as being between one man and one woman?

These are central Biblical issues for which there should be a clear position expressed by each candidate. Thank you for your consideration as we seek to learn who will lead our nation with the most Biblical value system, for “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD” (Psalm 33:12). I would love to hear your thoughts.

In Christ,

Your Name

The Sacramento Superior Court ruled today that Attorney General Jerry Brown may
change Proposition 8’s title to favor homosexual marriage. In May, California Supreme
Court legalized homosexual marriage and shortly thereafter Proposition 8 qualified
for the 2008 November ballot. Two weeks ago, Brown re-titled the proposition from
“limits marriage between one man and one woman” to “a constitutional change to eliminate
the right of same sex couples to marry.”
Proposition 8 advocates immediately filed suit, contesting the highly prejudicial
title change.
“Once again, the people of California are held hostage by a tyrannical judicial
system determined to implement a radical social agenda,” stated Karen England, executive
director for Capitol Resource Family Impact, member of the Protect Marriage coalition.
“It is shameful that activist judges and politicians are throwing every obstacle
they can in the way of restoring the true definition of marriage.”
Earlier today the Second Appellate District issued its ruling in the In re Rachel
L case regarding parents’ rights to home educate their children. In a 3-0 decision,
the court ruled that homeschooling is a legitimate form of education. A lower court
had ruled home education is not permissible if a parent does not posses teaching
credentials from the state.
“This morning three just judges recognized that parents have the fundamental right
to educate their children at home,” stated Meredith Turney, legislative liaison
for Capitol Resource Family Impact and homeschool graduate. “And it’s a good thing
homeschooling is still legal in California-because parents will be yanking their
children out of government schools teaching homosexual marriage is natural and
normal.”
Traditional marriage advocates intend to appeal the court’s clearly biased ruling.
“Despite the opposition of our traditional-marriage-opposing judges and politicians,
we will fight on-our children and our families depend upon our fortitude and perseverance!”

Well, folks, I’m afraid this is only the beginning. Tyson has willingly allowed 125 years of American history to be trashed in one fell swoop–in the name of “Let’s accommodate the new immigrants”! I wonder which American holiday will be replaced next-Memorial Day, Independence Day, Christmas? I contacted Tyson to let them know my feelings regarding this.

Chicken company: Workers wanted Islamic religious event recognized

Posted: August 02, 2008

Food workers at the Shelbyville, Tenn., plant for Tyson Foods, which boasts on its corporate website that it strives “to honor God,” will have time off for Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim holiday closing the month of Ramadan, instead of the American tradition Labor Day.

Officials with the company told WND the labor union representing the 1,200 plant workers, including about 700 immigrants from Somalia who largely are Muslim, sought the holiday change in the new five-year contract, and the company agreed.

Officials with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union issue a press statement about the new “contract [that] creates an additional paid holiday, [Eid al-Fitr,] a Muslim holiday that occurs toward the end of Ramadan.”

A spokeswoman at the union’s office told WND no one was in the office today who could comment on the request.

To the Shelbyville Times-Gazette, Gary Mickelson, Tyson’s media chief, said there is no new holiday, but at the union’s request the company agreed to discontinue the Labor Day holiday and implement Eid al-Fitr.

“Union leadership did request and receive Eid al-Fitr (which is apparently spelled various ways including Id al-Fitr and Eid ul-Fitr) as a paid holiday in place of Labor Day,” Mickelson told the newspaper.

“Since all Team Members will still have eight paid holidays, the change will not affect production,” Mickelson said.

On the paper’s forum page, readers were outraged.

“If this holiday is that important to them, make them take it off instead of Christmas Day and allow ALL workers to be off Labor Day. Most AMERICAN families have some type of function on Labor Day,” wrote one anonymous participant.

“It says union leadership made this request, makes you wonder who runs the union. I guess they are already working on a plan to replace Memorial Day, that means nothing to the Muslims so why should we have the right to celebrate it. Labor Day commemorates the plight of workers and the struggle of labor unions to improve working conditions for American workers. The Muslims will not stop until all of our rights and laws are changed to accommodate their beliefs. This will be a new America but it will be their America,” said another.

The union boasts on its website, “Diversity is one of the strengths of our union. . We may come from different countries and speak different languages. But what unites us is the belief that by standing together we can better advance our interests.”

The holiday comes at the conclusion of the month-long Ramadan for Muslims, but it not on the same day each year. Officials with Tyson said they were working out how best to address what apparently now will be a floating holiday for the company.

Mickelson said other holidays for the company workers include birthday, New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

Union spokesman Randy Hadley told the newspaper, “The negotiating committee felt this was extremely crucial, since this holiday is as important to Muslims as Christmas is to Christians.”

The union also reported “two prayer rooms have been created to allow Muslim workers to pray twice a day and return to work without leaving the plant.”

Ironically, the company on its website also promotes a variety of traditional and customary Christian and secular blessings for food - its primary product.

“This is America, founded by the blood of our forefathers and should not be challenged by Somalians, Hispanics, or any other immigrants. If they come to America, they need to learn our language and our ways. They can practice their culture in private if they so please, but not shove it down our throats. Would they let us go there and change their country? I have banned Tyson’s products from my home for years because of the illegals they were hiring. I am sorry for the producers that are supplying them, but Tyson’s has once again crossed the line with the American people. Labor Day was here long before Tyson’s. What holiday will be next to be taken away and replaced to accommodate an immigrant. This stinks worse than the plant,” said another anonymous forum participant.

“Disgusting … appalling … horrifying … there just aren’t enough words to describe this situation. There will never be another Tyson product in my home EVER!! Bedford County and the rest of the nation needs to take notice. Is this what we are coming to?” said another.

A Muslim website says the holiday is a “joyous three-day celebration” that concludes Ramadan, during which Muslims fast during the day.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the national holiday dates from Sept. 5, 1882, and is “dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country.”

Fellow Patriots:

I am a reasonable person. (I will wait till the laughing subsides.) I give everyone a
break. I do not base my opinions on what anyone says about anyone. You may think that
someone is the worst person in the world and I might think they are spectacular. We
are all different, otherwise we would be all married to the same man or woman.
(Though in California I think that they are trying to make that mandatory.)

In my business it would be impossible to have a modicum of success if I judged someone
based on, well, anything. Being in sales (which is, in most peoples eyes, a step or
two above child molester and orders of magnitude above most politicians but not quite
as revered as a trash collector) it is my job to match the person with the best
possible product or service. If I based my decision on their age, race, gender,
perceived ability for them to pay or any other factor, I would not last a day.

I have seen people who you would not think could scrape up $1.58 who have riches
greater than Midas and those who are wearing their net worth in clothes and jewelry.
I have made some of my biggest sales to people whose education, or lack of same,
indicated an unwillingness to complete 4th Grade but who worked hard and grew
wealthy. Then there are the silver-tongued, quasi-intellectuals who sound like they
have it all together and, well, let’s just say that Jethro did a whole lot better in
life than did they.

Point being that establishing any opinion of anyone for any reason based on external
characteristics is crazy, counterintuitive and demeaning. But for some reason this
year it is all the rage.

Yes, I am talking about racism, both the obvious and the covert varieties. And to be
fair, not just racism, as we have seen and will continue to see other -isms such as
sexism, ageism, faithism and pretty much any other way of defining a person other than
by their experience or character, the “book by the cover” technique, if you will.

I find it anathema that there are actually some people who will or will not vote for
someone solely based on his melanin level. Yes, in this day and age there are
actually people who see pigmentation as the litmus test for garnering their vote or
not.

Then there is the age thing. For some people, they see youth and vitality as necessary
requirements for being president. One’s stance on the military also plays an
important part in the decision making process and there are some who do not want
someone who has a differing set of values in this regard as our president.

But no matter how much they play it, no matter who says it, there are those who are
playing the race card, the age card and the military card at the expense of all other
factors.

These hypocrites will do anything to get their candidate elected, even stooping to the
low level of employing prejudice.

I have said repeatedly that I am not thrilled with any of the candidates who were of
late running, and for that matter very few of the 326 candidates of both parties who
threw their hats into their respective rings. But the facts remain that almost to a
man and woman, there was something different about each and every one of them.

How do you pick?

Do you choose the woman? The mixed-race guy (though, which race is now under more
scrutiny and the issue with his Hawaiian birth certificate is not helping matters)?
The old guy? The Mexican-American? The ambulance chaser? The Martian? The doctor? The
Mormon? The TV star? You get the picture.

Is the woman more qualified because of her extra X chromosome? The mixed-race guy is
because he appealing to twice as many ethnic groups. The old guy has experience and so
does the Mexican-American feller. Not so sure of the attraction of the lawyer but the
space alien had a large following of college students as well as with the vertically
challenged. And so forth and so on.

The problem is not that these folks had a singularity that defined themselves in
contradistinction to the others but it was exactly that difference that, gen’ly,
negatively defined them.

The woman would not be taken seriously some said. Even though we are talking about
Hillary, there are many examples of women leaders: Lady Thatcher, Meir, Merkel, Gandhi
and others. Xenophobia set in with respect to Obama as many will not vote for him
because he is different. (Er, ’scuse me for thinking clearly, Sparky, but we are ALL
different, as I said. But, there are plenty of other reasons not to vote for him.)

They bash McCain because he is old and just the other day world renowned miscreant and
malcontent (and Obama advisor) Gen. Wesley Clark, made the obtuse remark that McC’s
experience was, well, not really the kind of experience needed for the presidency. In
a rare exhibit of magnanimity he did allow that these experiences were different
from those of Obama. I am still trying to sort out his logic.

So, ideas trump experience but Obama’s experience trumps McCain’s. Or something.

Can’t have a Mormon as a president, they say, he will make us all take extra wives!
Conveniently ignoring that polygamy is outlawed. (And you do not have to be a
polygamist to have one spouse too many, say some!) And Kucinich just could not
leverage the Star War vote to a more national appeal.

But I jest, yet every joke has a kernel of truth, and herein lies the problem.

American’s, despite our melting pot history and willingness to explore other cultures
(take a look at the restaurant listings in your Yellow Pages for confirmation) we are
still an isolated, somewhat homogenous (for the moment) and xenophobic nation.

Unlike Europe, Asia, heck, the rest of the world save Australia and New Zealand, we do
not have ages-old enemies sharing our border, have varying cultures next door,
troubled by language barriers on all sides and other negatives. There about a dime’s
worth of difference between Americans and Canadians when you really get down to it
and up until fairly recently illegal immigration from Mexico was not a crisis.

The other side of that coin is that other than the influx of European immigrants from
the mid-1800’s until the early part of the last century, we have not enjoyed nor
embraced the rich culture of other nations. There may be pockets hither and yon of
more recent immigrants and in the Southwest there is a greater presence of the
Mexican culture but on balance, and it is becoming more and more evident every day, we
are becoming less of a “melting pot” where the good is assimilated into our rich
tapestry of American culture but more of a “tossed salad” where the individual
components retain their tastes and qualities.

This lack of assimilation also retains the prejudices, fears, mistrust and more of the
recent immigrants (legal or not, they are here) and this impacts the rest of us.
Just like the assimilation of other cultures lend their positive parts of that
nationality or culture the lack of assimilation causes these folks to retain their
negative attributes.

Where bad money drives good money out of circulation, so too is it with negative
aspects of non-assimilated peoples. Their reluctance to become one of “us” forces
them to retain all the negative baggage and then project that into the population at
large.

It is a prime example of the “least common denominator.”

Where study after study has shown that kids brought up with kids of differing
backgrounds and without suggestion that the “other kids” are “different”, are blind to
the differences and treat all as peers.

Once the suggestion that one or another person is “different”, regardless how it is
couched, the prejudice begins. By using “natural” prejudices one instills hate and
fear into the child. (Sort of the English despise the Irish and vice verse). By
using adapted prejudices (”you must be nice to so-and-so, she can not help it if she
is a girl/black/white/Oriental/Jewish or whatever she is that you are not”) you
unintentionally foster the attitude of superiority and inferiority.

You are causing that child to think that they are better than someone even though the
parent, bless his or her liberal heart, thinks that they are being “nice” or
“thoughtful” to someone who is merely a person who is not exactly like you.

This is what we are seeing today.

I do not want to see a middle-aged, Viet Nam era, Christian white guy as president
just because I am one. I know plenty of my peers whom I would not trust further than
I could throw them let alone vote for them for president. Or dog catcher.

I would far rather vote for a disabled, young, Jewish Black woman who shared my views,
morals and principles. You get the drift.

Problem is that those suffering from identity crises, superiority complexes, (and oddly
enough) inferiority complexes, racism, ageism, sexism, faithism and so on project their
fears and anxieties on the populace as personified by the candidate who most closely
resembles them physically but not necessarily politically.

And what you have is today’s political arena.

Barry Obama has surpassed John F’n. Kerry with flip-flops already and they have not
even had the convention yet. BUT, he gets a pass because he is (fill in the blank
with what ever you wish) and therefore immune to criticism.

Bash him on not wearing a Flag pin, you are a racist, but he now wears one.

Bash him for breaking the pledge to use only public funds, you are a racist.

Bash him for ANYTHING, you are a racist.

Support McCain, you are a racist.

Whose fault is this?

Yours and mine.

Why?

We let it happen.

The longer you sit back and let the fear mongers get their “2 Minutes of Hate” aired
on the LSM, the more people will believe it and the harder our job will be later on.
If you do not challenge and, dare I suggest, gainsay those who purport your racism by
calling them a racist first, they will get their message out and you will not.

(Point of Clarification: when I say “racist” I am not saying it is a Black calling a
white a racist or the other way around. There are plenty of Democrats calling anyone
who will not vote for Obama a “racist.” [I refer you to the mad Dr. Dean for an
example.] It is typical liberal bovine scatology.)

If not you, then who? If not now, then when?

It took the reality of $5 a gallon gas to make believers out of environmentalists. As long as the poor were harmed by high priced gas and energy, they did not care. But as the middle class were forced to pay for their Luddite policies based on junk science and sentiment, not reality, the tide turned. Maybe drilling off our coast, like the Cubans do, would not be so bad. Maybe developing oil shale would be a good thing. Maybe, even drilling of oil in ANWR–which we could have done 12 years ago if the Democrat President Bill Clinton, at the behest Al Gore, had not vetoed a bill to allow this.

Democrats have assured us of $5 gas, high energy prices, high food prices and lost jobs. The blood is on their hands.

Now reality has hit, just as Republicans said it would. We are paying the price for dishonest politicians buying votes. Instead of self sufficient energy supplies, the Democrats have forced the redistribution of trillions of our dollars to foreign nation, making the U.S. dollar weaker.

The time is now to apologize and quickly move to develop our own energy sources. Over night, when the policy is in place you will see foreign oil drop by half, just to try to stop us from being independent.

Call your member of Congress, let them know they need to act swiftly to save the American economy and families. Pass this along to your friends.

Please pray for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm’s way around the world, and for their families, especially those of our fallen Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen, who have died in defense of American liberty while prosecuting the war with Jihadistan.

From todays edition of Der Spiegel, an excerpt from an article written by Norbert F. Potzi, entitled “Life In a Parallel Society”,may explain why Obama’s Blue Presidential Seal had the phrase “E Pluribus Unum” removed.It is a statement establish by Congress in 1782 as part of the Presidential seal.
The phrase means “out of many, one”.
In this statement it is implied that we all join together top make one country with the same laws and originally suggesting that out of many colonies or states emerge a single nation, it has come to suggest in contemporary times that out of many peoples, races, and ancestries has emerged a single people and nation - illustrating the concept of the melting pot.

But the Germans have found that the majority of the Muslim immigrants have not assimilated. Most have not learned the language, and Sharia law appears to be the rule of law in the “ghettos” where Muslims accumulate.

In this article the author makes the argument that Muslims can live side by side with Germans and still not assimilate into the German society.
There are an estimated 3.4 million Muslims living in Germany, making it the second largest religious group after Christians in Germany. A majority of them from Turkey,but many cam from Bosnia,Iran Iraq and Morocco. They were encouraged to emigrate to Germany to work in the industrial machine that made Germany an economic power house in the 70′ and 80’s.
As morally indignant young Muslims turn away from what they view as decadent German culture, some are cultivating feelings of superiority. While their immigrant parents and grandparents tried to assimilate, at least on the surface, some young Muslims deliberately flaunt the fact that they are different by wearing strict Islamic clothing in public.
The young, criminal Muslims whose acts of violence are so often in the news are rebelling against the majority society in their own way. They berate the victims of their brutal attacks as “s**t Germans” and “pig-eaters,” even to the point of occasionally abusing a police officer of Turkish descent as a “s**t Christian.”

The problem of assimilation is not helped by people like Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with his recent inflammatory rhetoric. “Speaking to a cheering crowd of close to 20,000 Turks, some of them already naturalized German citizens, at the Cologne Arena two weeks before the February conference, Erdogan warned his fellow Turks against going too far in their efforts to integrate. “No one can expect you to subject yourselves to assimilation,” he said. “Because assimilation is a crime against humanity”.

No one had asked the Turks to submit to assimilation, the total removal of cultural and religious identity. But the consequences of a refusal to be integrated into majority German society are all too apparent in the neighborhoods surrounding Sonnenallee in Neukölln”where crime has increased dramatically.

Thus when I first saw Obama posed behind a blue simulated Presidential seal I wondered about the choice of words that replaced the normal wording. Instead of the Latin “E pluribus unum” (Out of many, one), Obama’s says “Vero possumus”, rough Latin for “Yes, we can.” Instead of “Seal of the President of the United States”, Obama’s Web site address is listed. And instead of a shield, Obama’s eagle wears his “O” campaign logo with a rising sun representing hope ahead!
Not only is the wording questionable, the gaul of a man who has not even been formally nominated as his party candidate, standing behind a quasi-presidential seal!

No matter if you or I believe Obama is a Muslim “mole” or the anti-Christ, he does insult the rest of us who have assimilated, and become one of many. It appears to this seasoned citizen that by removing E Pluribus Unum, Obama has declared that living together as one is not necessary to keep this nation together.But then is that not what his pastor of twenty years declared from his pulpit?

The Europeans are experiencing first hand what lack of assimilation produces. Ghettos are developing where Sharia laws prevail, and crime rates and civil disobedience bordering on race riots are happening. All is not well in places like France, Germany and Holland!

DO WE WANT A PRESIDENT THAT BELIVES IT IS O.K. TO ABANDOM “E PLURIBUS UNUM”?

Wednesday 18 June 2008, by admin, California Political News

In a crisis leaders meet the needs of the times and the people. Does anybody doubt we are in an energy crisis or that the cost of gas and energy is high because of a lack of energy sources in the United States. In 1996 President Clinton vetoed a bill that would have opened domestic oil sources. If not for that veto we would have had lots of oil for gas three years ago.

Senator McCain understands we are in a crisis. So he now supports the people of America by asking for oil drilling off the coasts, just like Cuba is doing. Senator Obama prefers $5 gas, the poor freezing come winter and jobs lots due to high energy costs. Obama is just an old time Luddite, preferring ideology over people.

A leader can chance opinions based on circumstance. An ideologue doesn’t need facts to make decisions.

As you fill up your tank, remember who is causing the price to spiral up.

Pass this along. Let folks know who is a leader and who wants control.

Another reason to support McCain for President.
