TONKO MAKES
CAMPAIGN STOP
AT AVILA ALBANY

Congressman Paul Tonko (D-NY21)
makes a campaign appearance at
Avila Retirement Community today:

http://tonko.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=29&sectiontree=7,29&itemid=554

The time and location of this "Town
Hall Meeting on Medicare and Medicaid"
provides a friendly, controlled setting
for Tonko to get some face/sound bite
media coverage at prime news time
this evening.

The purpose is NOT to inform or to
provide the general public with an
opportunity to directly interact with
Tonko. Questions will be selectively
screened.

Avila and residents therein are
beneficiaries of taxpayer funded
government benefits. The residents
themselves, are not impacted by
any proposed changes in medicare
or medicaid because of their age.
Nonetheless, this is a captive, docile
audience of likely Democratic voters
who will make a nice prop for Tonko
and President Obama, as they seek
the senior vote in the 2012 election.

Avila community is affiliated with
the RC Diocese of Albany, which
is very dependent on federal and
state funding  to sustain operations.


Observe how the local media covers
this event.

How informed does this make you?

TIME TO REFORM THE
FOOD STAMP PROGRAM

Return to the old system of monthly
distribution of surplus food boxes.

Once upon a time, needy persons
and families received monthly food
boxes containing cheese, butter
dry milk, oatmeal, peanut butter
lard, flour, dry beans etc.

Vegetables, like turnips, carrots
potatoes, squash and greens could
be included, when in season.

This would benefit the hungry and
help to sustain farmers and farmland
locally, and nationwide.

People would learn to cook and bake.
Obesity would cease to exist. People
would be healthier and require less
expenditures for medical care.

Abuses of the food assistance program
would be minimal.

How many hundredweight of potatoes
would be required for a carton of smokes?
A hit of crack? A pair of fashion sneakers?
A caddy?

SOCIAL SERVICE SCAMS
ARE NOT SUSTAINABLE


Hard times are here for all. The worst
is yet to come.

Social services and related spending
makes up the lion's share of the Albany
County budget.

In the City of Albany 70 percent of
the city school population comes from
households that do not pay property
taxes to support city schools and city
or county governments.

Social services scams such as this
can no longer be tolerated:

 
This is but the tip of the social services
abuse ice berg.
 
This is an election year for the Albany
County Executive, Comptroller and all
County Legislators.
 
Incumbents, challengers and voters
must address the need for an immediate
comprehensive review of all social services
and related, spending in Albany County
and City.
 
 
Who is receiving what kind of assistance?
How much? Correlate all forms of assistance
including government (taxpayer) funded
benefits and other assistance such as food
pantries, assistance furnished by churches
schools, medical providers and other sources.
 
How many illegal aliens are receiving these
benefits?
 
How many "traveling people"  collect these
benefits in New York and adjacent states?
 
A burgeoning dependent population can
not be sustained by a shrinking population
of elderly homeowner property taxpayers
trying to exist on fixed incomes.
 
Families and individuals, who are able
are fleeing the City of Albany. Who will be
left to pay for city services and city schools?

HAPPY 92
HUGH CAREY

Soldier, Governor and American.

The kind of leadership we lack
today at the national level.

Recalling the good times with
John L., Al L., DG,  Marty B.
Pat Mc. any many more.

Those were the days!

Thanks for the memories
Governor Carey.

A HOUSE DIVIDED
WILL NOT STAND

Heed the warning of President Lincoln
on this 150th anniversary of the American
Civil War.



Our nation is more divided than ever.
The divisions are not North and South
but diverse, including ethnicity, race
sex, age, religion, socioeconomic class
political, legal and illegal immigration
law abiding and lawless, and many more.

The politicians, media, schools and
special interest groups have promoted
these divisions.

America is beset by enemies foreign
and domestic. We lack political leadership.
The Constitution is being circumvented
Our economy and monetary system are
on the verge of collapse. Oil, the lifeblood
of our economy and way of life, is becoming
too costly, and soon will not be available
at any price.

Unity, not diversity, is needed now, if
we are to survive the challenges that
are before us.

United we will prevail. Divided we will
fall.

What will it be?

                                  Joe Sullivan
THE OBAMA MARATHON.
A RECORD TO RUN ON OR
TO RUN FROM?

President Obama has been on a
non-stop political campaign for
the past three years or more.

As President he, his family, his
appointees, and financial backers
have left a huge carbon footprint
nationwide and worldwide.

As a recently announced candidate
he and his entourage should foot
the bills for all air travel, security
and related expenses for his globe
trotting campaign appearances
fund raisers and photo ops.

All this constant travel is unnecessary
because Obama has the mainstream
media as his personal cheerleaders
and pr campaign arm. They will be
rewarded by huge infusions of cash
for campaign ads in 2012.

Familiarity breeds contempt. Like
a moth the President is drawn to
the camera lights.

Here is a recitation of 10 Obama
flip flops:

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/nilegardiner/100083104/the-u-turn-president-barack-obama-top-ten-flip-flops/

Obama can run, but he can't hide
from his record.

TUNE THIS. THE SURFING BIRD.
 BIRD IS THE WORD.

The Surfing Bird, by the Trashmen
was a popular song years ago.

Now, the tune is enjoying renewed
popularity among diverse groups
including Jihadists, the Obama
administration,  George Soros
Brazil,  Paul Tonko,  GE, New York
State and local governments; and
certain investors.


Note one word change in  the lyrics.
Substitute OIL for bird.

Try it:

Unlikely to be a hit with drivers
now -but could become a hit tune
with voters in 2011 and 2012 elections.

TERRIFYING,

Janet Napolitano keeping us safe?
Deciding when terror risks exist
whom to notify and how?

Using social networking sites to
pass the word?

Check her out on facebook, see
who is friending her.

This is the same person who urged
putting returning veterans and
advocates of limited government
on the government anti-terror
watch list.

She also declared our Southern
border safer then ever.

Napolitano in charge of Homeland
Security? Now, that is really
terrifying!

INFIDELS ARE
AN EASY MARK

Politically correct infidels are an
easy mark for the Holy Warriors
who are bent on the conquest of
Europe and America.

Americans, realize it or not, admit
it or deny it, are engaged in a real
life survival  drama which is rapidly
playing out before our eyes.

The main stream news media is not
objectively informing Americans of
the peril that we all face in the coming
days, weeks and months.

We need more objective information
rather than subjective opinions.

Read:
http://blog.timesunion.com/opinion/senator-ball%e2%80%99s-abuse-of-power/10560/

We are on the receiving end of Jihad
or Holy War.  It is only a matter of
time before the systematic, devestating
terror attacks are unleashed on our
Homeland.

Is anyone really ready?

Are we no longer holy or warriors as
a people?

The media has the solemn responsibity
of  presenting objective, balanced analysis
of the facts on the vital issue of Homeland
Security.

Additionally, the media should inform
the public what threats and dangers exist
and what the public must do to save
themselves, their loved ones and their
property.

What did NYC Police Commissioner
Kelly and MTA Security Director Zeigler
have to say at the April 8 NYC public
hearing?

Why are no similar public hearings
at the state and local levels, being held
in the Capital District?

All New York is a priority target of
our foes.

Wise up and be ready!

Government can't save us; we must
save ourselves and the government.

The survival of the media is on the
line as well. The people can not save
you; you must save yourselves and
save us.

Partner with the people, not the
politicians and special interests!
