Tax and spend Republicans want to tax Girl Scout cookie sales? Your morning jolt: Girl Scouts ticked over cookie tax

Tonight I was first in line to ask 10th district Congressman Paul Broun on a telephone town hall call I received on my seldom used home telephone line. I asked Dr. Broun directly as to the identity of the elderly gentlemen who traveled from either Cobb County or Eatonton to ask in Lexington "Who's going to shoot President Obama?" After essentially repeating his statement released three days after the initial question was asked, instead of answering my question, (although he did allow that he was a former patient of the doctor who can only make house calls), he went on an assault on the reporting of the Athens Banner-Herald's political reporter Blake Aued and then went on to another question asker in the telephone town hall. This was an economic town hall question. I was making dinner so I did not have the chance to stay on the line. Sounds like it is going to take a Freedom of Information Act request to reveal the name of this elderly questioner.

Friend -- Over the next 11 days, the President will ask Republicans to make a choice: Set aside party politics -- or risk nearly 1 million American jobs. Because if a budget agreement isn't reached by next Friday, the government will shut down -- and the President has made clear that the current plan as proposed by congressional Republicans is not acceptable. The final budget cannot be dictated solely by one party or a narrow set of interests -- it will affect every American. That's why true leadership means making tough choices and putting people before party or ideology. And that's the kind of leadership we need over the next 11 days. The President is calling on both sides to come together, but it's up to us to show Republicans in Congress that we have his back. As negotiations heat up, we all need to speak out to make sure they get the message. Stand with the President by signing your name today -- and OFA volunteers will deliver your signatures to House...

I just received a generic robo call from a college girl complaining that the cuts to the HOPE scholarship will prevent her parents from getting the tuition break they deserve. No accreditation to the call, but the number 404-239-9920 in an unpublished landline in Cobb County. The vote is Tuesday to prevent a large section of Georgia parents from qualifying for full HOPE Scholarship eligibility. The call did mention something about Zell Miller's scholarship
