The Text below is from (http://www.hermancain.com/999plan). Before you *sigh* or disregard and leave just spend five minutes and think about how much of your money you would keep. Vision for Economic Growth The natural state of our economy is prosperity. Freedom ensures that. We must get the government off our backs, out of our pockets and out of our way in order to return to prosperity.

Often we hear pundits and politicians shrug-off facts as merely "talking points", ideology, or just an opinion... but is it really?   Here is an interesting read from a British writer which many of us on both sides of the political aisle agree.  We may not believe we're next... but we should none-the-less consider this writer's facts...

Hey Y'all,The day after Memorial Day our patio and the installers arrived and built a nice patio.It is 690 square feet made out paver (bricks). We had a small back yard, which was really only functional for the dog, (who never complained).Before (Memorial Day afternoon)...After (Thursday afternoon)...We look forward to sharing it with friends and family. Y'all come on down!

We had a very nice memorial Day just laid back and hangin' with the Smallwoods. I sorta had to be laid back `cuz I wrenched my back on Saturday. I dunno how but I did. It usually takes me a few days to get where I can stand up like a normal man rather than a "missing-link" pre-modern man. ;-)RaeAnn and Rick baked pork ribs all night long on Sunday night and we BBQ'd them on Monday. Mmm, mmm,

Hey everyone! I hope everyone had a nice Memorial Day weekend. Dustin and I took a trip down to Miami to visit my family (Miami is where I am originally from). We had a BLAST...we packed so many things in just 3 days. We took a tour of Miami which included a tour of "Star Island" (an island near Miami Beach where celebrities have bought homes). We saw Jackie Chan's house, Shaq's (Miami Heat

Had such a great time in Daytona! Dinner with everyone was so nice, such a shame it had been so long! We aren't doing that anymore! We figured out that it had been almost 14 years, I think? Gosh, I'm old! :) I enjoyed everyone so much, we didn't have enough time together, though! Reagan (sp?) is an absolute DOLL! I think she looks like Toni in the eyes, am I crazy? Dustin is a MAN, wasn't

Kim asked me to write a short history about our youngest so you would know about her. February 2001, we found out that she had a golf ball sized medulloblastoma brain tumor, which is at the base of the brain stem; she was about 2 years old. (she is now 8 years old) We went to Iowa City with her and they removed as much of it as they could (which was most of it.) After that we spent most of

Hi everyone!! Another beautiful day. Yesterday one of the ladies in my Sunday school class picked me up and we visited one of our ladies. Her name is Tina and is 81. She lives with her son and is a caregiver to his wife who is only 53 but for 5 years has been in need of help. She has Alzheimer's. It is so sad. Hospice starting yesterday. Please keep both in your prayers. Then all

He is always looks for ways to have fun with them.Below - Rick takes Reagan and Jonah for a walk to the beach.

We had a wonderful time in Daytona, FL at Bubba Gumps (a restaurant associated with the movie Forest Gump). There was no room inside for all to sit and enjoy so we sat outside in the wind. As I said we had a wonderful time.Allison and her son Jonah came from Illinois to visit her Grandma Carolyn(Carmen's sister) and Grandpa Jerry.Jerry and Carolyn live in central Florida in an area south of Ocala
