Pizza is a vegetable? Congress says yes

Pizza is a vegetable? Congress says yes
Congress is made up of mindless twits addicted to the corporate tit and this just proves it!

Chickens

Well, we finished up the major open items on the coop and picked up four new hens on Sunday. The new additions are a
road island red
golden sexlink
barred rock
little unknown black hen

Long time no post

Yes, we are still here and kicking. We have been really busy trying to get things battened down for the Winter. We are just about ready to get our new chickens from a friend with a farm and have a new garden bed going in. We will try to get some pictures of the coop and bed.
In Frith,

Great poster

I wonder if this is not where we are headed with gas prices and the economy.

Great video

I wish kinds in America would have this attitude instead of assuming they deserve a car at 16

Is it time we tell Congress they work for us and we are done with their superior attitudes

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!  Why?  Simple!  The people demanded it.  That was in 1971...before computers, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

            1. Term Limits.              

            12 years only, one of the possible options below..

              A. Two Six-year Senate terms

              B. Six Two-year House terms

              C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms


            2.  No Tenure / No Pension.

        Each congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when are out of office.


            3.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.  All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system. Congress participates with & on the same basis as the American people.


            4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.


            5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.  Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.


            6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.


            7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.


            8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12.

          The American people did not make these contracts with Congressmen.  Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career..  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

THIS WOULD BE A GOOD START!

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.  Maybe it is time.


THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!!!!!

If you agree with the above, pass it on.   If not, just delete

Chickens again!

Earlier this month, residents of Longmont managed to convince the city council to allow us to have 4 hens, so we are getting chickens again! We have designed a coop of roughly 3 1/2 by 4 feet for the 4 hens and run of about 60 sq ft. Here are the pics of the the run and coop area with the coop being the yellow flags. We are hoping to get it done by the end of next weekend. We are have a neighbor who owns the rental next door and she has some layers ready for us to take.
