Frank!

I tried to post something to your wall about our Chocolate Festival
last week, and it didn't post. But since we are pen-pals of the
highest level offline as well as on, I thought I would just e-mail you
and you can work your digital delights.

2010 Elections for the House of Representatives and the Senate

 

THIS IS GOING OUT TO EVERYONE.  THANK GOODNESS WE STILL HAVE CHOICES WE CAN MAKE!



 


 



 

 

OCTOBER  27, 2009

 

 

 

Family, Friends, Brethren, All –

 

The ENTIRE House of Representatives will have to stand for re-election; all 435 of them. 

 

One third of the Senate, a total of 33 of them, will also stand for re-election. 

 

If you are unhappy with the way our country has been run, this is YOUR chance to do something about it.

 

Vote every incumbent OUT.  And I mean every damned one of them.  No matter their Party affiliation. 

 

WE have a chance to start FRESH with in the House of Representatives with 435 NEW Representatives.  These are (HOPEFULLY) people who have no experience in running that body and who owe NO political favors to anyone. 

 

This is OUR chance to let them know that THEY WORK FOR US!  We can make all of Congress understand this IF WE STAND UNITED. 

They are answerable to us, they need to be reminded and they have to run this country of OURS with some common sense.

 

In 2012, the next third of the Senate will be up for reelection.  If WE send a strong message next year we’ll have two years to see how things change before we vote again.  If THEY don’t get on board, we vote them out in 2012.

 

 

We, the People, have got to take this Country back  – hopefully we can do it peacefully, the way the framers of our Constitution envisioned. 

 

WE are in control of what happens to us, our children and our country.  WE have the ability to overthrow the current government legally and peacefully IF WE believe it is the right thing to do.

 

Whatever happens in the next election, the result will be on our shoulders – by our actions (or inaction) at the polls, we can control our destiny and the direction of this GREAT Country of ours.  We can bring it back on track and we can reverse the damage done – we just have to stand together and VOTE the incumbents out.  They’ve proven that they cannot be trusted – republican, democrat and independent.

 

Every few years we get a chance at a "do-over", let’s take advantage of this one.

 


Thomas Jefferson said "democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who are not."

 

 

FYI - I checked myself and it is TRUE - The United States House of Representatives elections will be held on November 2, 2010, halfway through President Barack Obama’s first term in office.  Elections will be held for ALL 435 seats, representing ALL 50 U.S. states.  

 

Elections also will be held for the delegates from the District of Columbia and four of the five U.S. territories.

 

The only seat in the United States House of Representatives not up for election is that of the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, who serves a four-year term and will next face election in 2012.

We’ve got an opportunity to either give the current administration the green light to continue business uninterrupted or we can send them a message that WE want things changed.  What happens next is up to YOU! 

 

Regards,
Gene E. Utterback

She’s come undone

She didn’t know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late

She’s come undone
She found a mountain that was far too high
And when she found out she couldn’t fly
It was too late

It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost herself

She’s come undone
She wanted truth but all she got was lies
Came the time to realize
And it was too late

She’s come undone
She didn’t know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
Mama, it was too late

It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost herself

Antiques by the Bay, Not Cancelled says Allen Michaan


Antiques By the Bay President Allen Michaan said that’s not true. He said the show will be held as scheduled Sunday, writes Michele Ellson, Correspondent of the Oakland Tribune.
Malfeasance charged
Michaan accused the show’s producers and company co-owners Betsy and Jerry Goldman of trying to scuttle Antiques By the Bay. And he said a lawsuit is coming.
The Goldmans, contacted at their Antiques By the Bay phone numbers, did not return a call seeking comment. Their answering machine message said the Nov. 1 show was canceled.
Big trouble for Goldmans

“They’ve gotten themselves into a lot of trouble,” Michaan said.
The Web site
message appeared later in the day. Company leaders also canceled their
advertisement in this newspaper.
Michaan said he had been calling dealers who
sell at the fair all day Wednesday to let them know that, contrary to what they
may have heard, the show is continuing.

“It’s deplorable that the Goldmans think so little of the hundreds of dealers that depend on this show that they would try to destroy it,” he said.
The fair has become an institution at Alameda Point, where it has been held

the first Sunday of every month since 1998. It draws about 800 vendors and 10,000 visitors a month, and show organizers claim it is the largest antique and collectibles show in Northern California.
Michaan said he created the concept for the fair, wrote its business plan, obtained the permits to set it up and paid all its bills in its early years, when it wasn’t making any money. He said he brought the Goldmans in to manage and operate the show and offered them a partnership position. They own half of Antiques By the Bay, he said, and he and his ex-wife own the other half.
A quick check of online state records Wednesday afternoon showed the corporation is still active. And whatever happens, Michaan said the show will go on.
“We will not let the show die,” he said.
