“A MESSAGE for THOUGHT!”
“Every DAY…we receive messages from all kinds of good sources… and this message came for me … and like all good messages and the thoughts … that we have … it always helps – – us… when we can pass on good information – – so … that we can receive feed back – – whether we like what we receive… or not – – all “feed back” helps … for us to grow into the person… that we – – just – – might want… to be???
What do you think – after receiving this message … is there a little something in the message – – below – that – you or some others may find useful to use and or to pass on …also???
…that the cycles of life are endless — and always serve
you, because life is a process that serves Life Itself.
When things seem to be shifting away from you,
moving in the other direction, closing doors,
shutting down opportunities, remember that all things
are cyclical — including Life Itself.
What you are experiencing is temporary — whether it’s
“good” OR “bad.” So stop calling it one thing or the
other, and simply embrace it as What’s Happening Now.
You’ll move through it all much more peacefully.
And, one day, you’ll call it ALL “good.”

“OLD GLORY BE…” – “FLY Her High!”
“FLY the AMERICAN FLAG… from the highest post!”
“Let all of us gather to sing…GLORY BE to the HIGHEST!”
It used to be…that we would hear … “GOD BLESS AMERICA” – by the one and only one… that I can remember – – hearing her sing this song…during the WAR YEARS… and that was “KATE SMITH” – she also introduced the song in the movie – – and it would be good for all of us… to watch that movie and let our feelings … get to really “FEELING GOOD” – the feeling… that we all need to feel – – sometime in our LIFE! May as well… start NOW!

“Are YOU Flying…OUR FLAG…”
“Let us all… fly the “FLAG of FREEDOM for All … AMERICANS…”
At this time of the year… the 11th of September only two days away… the big question is – “Where were you on ” 9 – 11 ” – – and what do you remember??”
When you think about the situation – that AMERICA was in… and NOW – today… looks like everybody is complaining about everything – – I remember where I was working… the lines were very long – everyone had to have their identification on and everything was inspected – – “HIGH ALERT” – – WOW …
Also… everyone was down on their knees … praying – it was as if we were near the end of the world… airports were really checking you out – you had to even let them xray you …down to even seeing what you had for breakfast – – dinner – – and nothing in a bottle .. no tubes of stuff – – no one wanted more planes to explode with innocent people harmed – We were really living in some kind of a bad dream …situation???
Today… all forgotten – everything back… to the way it was – – everyone doing their own thing – and who cares about our neighbors and love ones – – – Seems to me that we keep having “Tragedies” – thinking that we will learn …from them – – but we do not… we have to suffer again and again – – – but there is “HOPE” – and perhaps – someday… the correct changes will come …

“Will Someone Do Something…NOW???”
“READ…NOW!” – – “Organize…while recruiting others!” “PASS …this message on to everyone!” – – “The situation is …”SINK or SWIM!”
I report, you decide.
Today at 2:38 pm 
If each addressee will forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.I REPORT, YOU DECIDE.The BUFFETT Rule
We must support this – pass it on and let’s see if these idiots understand what people pressure is all about.
Salary of retired US Presidents .. . . . .. . . . . .. . $180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate members .. . . . .. . . . $174,000 FOR LIFE This is stupid
Salary of Speaker of the House .. . . . .. . . . . $223,500 FOR LIFE This is really stupid
Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders . . .. . . . . $193,400 FOR LIFE Ditto last line
Average Salary of a teacher . . .. . . . .. . . . . .. .. $40,065
Average Salary of a deployed Soldier . . .. . . .. $38,000
I think we found where the cuts should be made! If you agree pass it on, as I just did.
Warren Buffet, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:
“I could end the deficit in five minutes,” he told CNBC. “You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election”.
The 26th Amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only three months and eight days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 – before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land – all because of public pressure.
Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.
Congressional Reform Act of 2015
1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they’re out of office.
2. 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, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/15. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress 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 go back to work.
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. Don’t you think it’s time?
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete.

“Labor DAY WEEKEND – PICNIC…”
“Labor Day” – who said that there was no “WORK” – – and that this is a “DAY of REST” – – who gets the “REST” and who does all the “WORK” for the big HOLIDAY PICNIC???
Just take a look at the above photo – looks like “Kathy Stanley” is a regular short order cook – all the KIDS – are putting in their order – for soda and what ever is available in the line of food – – “Oh … and please hurry!”
This is one of our favorite times – the time for all the FAMILIES – to get together – bring the car loaded down with good stuff to cook and drink – and every family member – no one is to be left out – – because these are the best of times – and that means all good memories – – – and that is forever if there are pictures being takes – how else can one have total recall???
As the day moves along – – everyone doing their part – “boy o boy” – does it feel good to just sit back – plate of food and a real nice drink… put those feet up – – and now is the time to start with all the news and updating the “out o townees” – with all the big planes and all those “pipe dreams” that you have and may never ever get around to doing – – – but now that you have a captive audience – they are all listening – – and adding to your dreams – and before you know it – the kids are have asleep and that is when – everybody – starts packing up – and heading for HOME!
“See you all…next year – big… PIPE DREAMS are always FREE!” DV
