Springtime Clips

Ah, the first crocus on the hill!

• Now that I caught you attention with the flowers, there is something that you should know… “big agriculture” sent an email to First Lady, Michelle Obama, opposing the “organic vegetable garden” that she planted at the White House. You can read the complete email by clicking here… Anyone that reads this blog is well aware of how I feel regarding “big agriculture” and their attempt to control the world by owning our food sources. If it was up to “big ag”, home gardens would be against the law unless we plant Monsanto “Franken seeds” and poison our soil with their toxic chemicals.

• And I thought we were onto something here… possibly put an end to more live pigeon shoots in Pennsylvania. On March 14, the National Women’s Humane Society (NWHS) alerted officials to a pigeon shoot that took place in Andulusia. As a result of this action by the NWHS, Philadelphia Gun Club president, was cited for alleged animal cruelty and violation of anti-hunting ordanance within the township. Of course, the gun club is fighting this citation. This isn’t alleged cruelty to animals. It IS cruelty to animals. If you are still not convinced, then watch this video…

• Here is another reason why we need National Health Care. I won’t repeat this story because you can read about it at TheZoo. Here was a person that missed an important doctor’s appointment because he was concerned about mounting health care costs. That’s not right. It’s un-American that our Congress gets great health care paid for by the tax payers while we are left to fend for ourselves.

• There is an approaching storm in Congress regarding President Obama’s budget. The President tells us that he is a “persistent” person and his main focus in the budget is health care reform, education and energy independence. Something tells me that President Obama’s persistence will pay off.

Approaching Thunderstorm
