Incumbents In Jeopardy

Washington in flux
Stimulus dollars squandered
Corporate big wigs laugh --
Ignorant approach rebuked
Voters cast out incumbents

This is politics at its best. I like the message. Keep writing. Blessings, Joseph PS: I will have to contact my source who has the copyright on the artists. She is in France right now with a prayer and meditation group.

If we can vote them in, in 24hrs. We should be able to boot them out in 12. Have them sign a declaration so they know what's to be ahead of them if they do not practice what they preached to gain power. Good luck in Brian's contest >> James

This says a LOT, Carolyn. My BRAVE "word heroine"! SMILES. Are we serving herb tea these days? We need some! Try chamomile. God made it for restlessness and you can grow it at home...until the government says no more growing at home...Sam want control of every aspect of life...including what GOD created for your good health...make that EVERYTHING that goes in your mouth! No more home gardens? I hope that bill doesn't pass. We seem to be watching freedom get sucked into the sewer. Watch!
