Your morning jolt: Girl Scouts ticked over cookie tax
Tax and spend Republicans want to tax Girl Scout cookie sales?
Your morning jolt: Girl Scouts ticked over cookie tax
Congressman Paul Broun dodges direct question as to the identity of the person who asked "Who's gonna shoot President Obama?"
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.

Nearly 1 million jobs lost across the country

| 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 Republicans and make sure your voice is not ignored. Congressional Republicans have less than two weeks to come to the table and help craft a responsible funding plan that won't derail economic growth. President Obama has laid out a plan that reduces the deficit by a trillion dollars. He's committed to finding common ground to cut wasteful spending, but he won't go along with a plan that eliminates nearly a million jobs, guts investments in education and innovation, and ends protections that keep our food safe and air and water clean. We simply cannot afford any proposal that weakens our country or sets us back. The Republican budget: -- Prevents the government from implementing health reform, rolling back critical patient protections and cost savings, and returning control of your health care to insurance companies; -- Slashes funding for preventive health services that millions of American women depend on through Planned Parenthood -- and eliminates thousands of community health center jobs across the country; -- Guts investments in education and infrastructure that will grow the economy and create jobs; -- Cuts national homeland security investments by millions, hindering local law enforcement's ability to keep our families safe; and -- Drops hundreds of thousands of pre-kindergarten children from Head Start, an early-education program proven to help students thrive later on. And it could mean nearly 1 million American jobs lost -- all without making a dent in the deficit. With a shutdown looming, we're approaching a critical moment that could quickly become a crisis. Organizing for America will make sure Americans know that millions of people -- from every district in this country -- will be affected by these cuts. And we'll show lawmakers that we're paying attention, we're organizing, and we're not going to stop. That we refuse to accept partisan games that could cost hundreds of thousands of jobs -- or a government shutdown that puts our economy at risk. Please add your name in support of the President today: http://my.barackobama.com/Stand-Up-For-Jobs Thanks, Mitch Mitch Stewart Director Organizing for America |
