REPRESENTATIVE JOHN MURTHA, (D) OF PENNSYLVANIA HAS DIED
Harrisburg, Pa (Blog.Jetsettingmagazine.com) – Rep.

He was an officer in the Marine Reserves and was the first Vietnam Veteran to be elected to congress.
For two decades Murtha held heavy control of the Pentagon budget. Although he gave his yes vote in 2002 when President Bush sought to employ force in Iraq; he continued to become a naysayer over the way Bush Administration was handling the war.
Murtha, 77, was Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense. He had a 37-year career in the U.S. Marine Corps, retiring from the Marine Corps Reserve as a colonel in 1990. He began his career in congress in 1974 and was in his 19th term and was the th most senior in the 435-member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Murtha died in the Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington, Va. Feb. 8, 2010.

Rather Spend Valentine’s Day with your Pet?
By · Comments
Some lovers still prefer to buy their significant other boxes of chocolates and teddy bears, such as these on-line goodies from Godiva Chocolates. But, you’d better put a rush on the gifts or they won’t be there on time.
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Rather than spending Valentine’s Day with their partner, one fifth of adults would prefer to be with their pet, although the French still came top for romance, according to a joint global poll by Reuters/Ipsos.
The survey of 24,000 people in 23 countries found 21 percent of adults would rather spend February 14 with their pet than their spouse, although the French were least likely to choose a furry friend over a human with only 10 percent taking that option.
But the survey found that age and income were more of a determining factor than nationality when it came to romance, with younger, less affluent people more likely to choose their pet as their Valentine’s Day companion.
John Wright, senior vice president of Ipsos, said 25 percent of people aged under 35 opted for their pet over their partner compared to 18 percent of those aged 35-54 and 14 percent of people aged 55 plus.
Men and women were evenly split over the question.
Those choosing pets over people were also more likely to be those who have a lower income (24 percent) compared to those who were middle or higher income earners (20 percent).
“Likely defying stereotype, the desire to spurn a partner for a pet is not rooted in gender but rather age and even there it seems the older you are, the least likely it is you’d choose pet over partner,” said Wright.
“While there are country differences, it’s more of a personal choice made by younger and less affluent individuals.”
On a country-by-country basis, residents of Turkey were the most likely, at 49 percent, to choose their pet over their spouse or partner.
Next came India with 41 percent, then Japan with 30 percent, China with 29 percent, the United States with 27 percent and Australia with 25 percent.
On the other hand, the nations where residents were the least likely to want to spend the day with a pet instead of their spouse or partner were France at 10 percent, Mexico 11 percent, the Netherlands 12 percent and Hungary at 12 percent.
About 1,000 individuals participated on a country by country basis via an Ipsos (http://www.ipsos.com) online panel with weighting employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample’s composition reflected that of the adult population according to the most recent country census data.

www.LC.org Liberty Counsel News Release February 6, 2010.
New York City, NY – This weekend Mathew D. Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, will appear on Mike Huckabee’s show to discuss potentially dramatic changes to the framework of textbooks that are being discussed by the Texas State Board of Education (TSBOE). Huckabee and Staver will be revealing suggested changes, some of which are still under discussion. TSBOE will soon finalize the language that textbook publishers use to align their textbooks to current standards. As Texas is a leader in textbooks, most other states purchase the same educational materials. The show will begin at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday and 2:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on Sunday, Eastern Time.
Some of the suggestions that have come forward at various times include:
- Removing references to Daniel Boone, General George Patton, Nathan Hale, Columbus Day, and Christmas.
- Including the cultural impact of hip hop music, ACLU lawyer Clarence Darrow, and the Hindu holiday of Diwali.
- Replacing the term “American” with “Global Citizen”– stating that students need to be shaped “for responsible citizenship in a global society” without any mention of citizenship in American society.
- Replacing expansionism and free enterprise with imperialism and capitalism.
Cynthia Dunbar, an elected member of the TSBOE and Assistant Professor at Liberty University School of Law, stated “James Madison warned us that when error is allowed to become steeped in precedent it leads to tyranny. If an erroneous view of our American heritage is allowed to stand, that view will be even more entrenched when we revisit this issue again in 10 years. Since the board consists of only 15 members, the decision of eight individuals may determine what goes into textbooks on a national level; it is crucial that the voices of patriotic Americans be heard.”
The Board’s next meeting is in March and the final reading and adoption of the social studies guidelines will be in May. Make your voice heard now, before the next meeting. Please call the board at 512-463-9734 and encourage them to promote traditional, pro-American language in their guidelines, or you may email them at sboeteks@tea.state.tx.us.
Mathew Staver commented: “To have a bright future we must know our past. Those who want to reshape America begin by rewriting our past. We repeat the mistakes of the past when we are ignorant of them. America has a rich past founded on Judeo-Christian values. To forget them, or worse, to distort them, will doom our future. That is why the textbook controversy in Texas affects every American.”
Massachusetts Senator Elect Scott Brown Takes the Oath!
By · Comments
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) was sworn in Thursday evening on the Senate floor, officially taking the seat held for 46 years by the late Ted Kennedy. Brown, who won a Jan. 19 special election and broke the Democrats filibuster-proof 60 seats, was given the oath of office by Vice President Joe Biden. Brown arrived in Washington on Thursday, just hours after his election was certified in Massachusetts, and he was welcomed by Republicans as the magic 41st GOP senator. Before his swearing in, the former state legislator was greeted at the Russell Senate Office Building by a pool of reporters and cameras, holding the media off as he reached into the back of his vehicle to retrieve his certification papers. ”It’s exciting,” Brown said to the crowd. “I’m humbled and honored to represent the people of Massachusetts. Now it’s time to get to work.”
In front of a bipartisan group of senators and a packed gallery, Brown took the oath of office alongside Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass), with whom he talked for several minutes on the floor while awaiting his swearing-in. Brown shared a moment on the floor as well with Rep. James McGovern (D-Mass.)—Brown’s Congressman for many years and a confidant, the newly-minted senator said as he walked to a ceremony in the old Senate chamber following his official oath. Thursday also marked the final day of service for Sen. Paul Kirk, the Democrat charged with completing Kennedy’s term. Kirk, who said he has worked closely with Brown to ease the transition between offices, gave farewell remarks on the Senate floor Thursday afternoon, reflecting on Kennedy’s legacy. February 4, 2010.

EDITORIAL NO.2
The Democrats in Washington are calling The Republicans, “The Party of No!”
How great an ego it must take by some of the Democrats in Washington to call the Republicans “The Party of No!” The leftist Demo majority in congress has spent more than a year pushing and shoving those who disagree with the Demo’s goal to turn the U.S. into a socialist nation that we have fought against since 1776.
It is the talk of the nation that so many Democrats will be going down along with their socialist leanings in the upcoming mid-term elections this November. Those who oppose these elected congressmen and women and their leanings, are scared to death at the Tea Party Conventions and the large Town Hall meetings that have been grossly ignored by the congressmen and senators who refuse to listen to the people’s opinion and their unhappiness with the current administration and poor usage of our tax dollars.
If they were not aware of what they have been foisting upon the American people when they began this onslaught to spend tax dollars in such a foolish way, then why are they running scared today?
The Health Care Bill: Americans aren’t against the changes in the health care programs we now have, but they certainly are against the secretive manner in which the congress has moved to change things behind the voter’s backs.
Who was in charge of the Over-Sight Committees in congress when AIG, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were doing their thing that eventually brought down the mortgage market and affected the entire world. Aren’t the Democratic power boys and girls guilty of ignoring their buddy’s wrongdoings?
Take a look at who was in charge of the over-sight committees then and see how many of those in congress and the senate are still in office. When it comes to voting these candidates back in office in the mid-term and 2012 elections, we should make note of how many friends and neighbors we can talk with who will be voting these “firmly entrenched” Demos out of office.
But, let’s make sure we know and understand who we are voting in to replace them.
