Announcements

Well, the papers from the students that I interviewed from Fellowship Christian Academy keep coming in from their participation in the VFW’s Voice of Democracy competition. Here is the third paper (Previous papers: Peter, Maggie).

Guest post by Laura:

“The habits and character you’re forming now will shape who you are going to be when you grow up.” My mom tells me that all the time, usually because I’m doing something I probably shouldn’t be. It’s so true though. How our generation deals with life now, as teenagers, will affect not only us personally, but the others around us as well; how we act as a whole will define the future of America. So how can we live life now to have a positive influence on our country?
   
First off, we should know what makes our country be our country. Our independence isn’t something handed over to us on a silver platter. We have paid dearly for our liberties, from the second America was formed. Men and women have fought to obtain and ensure our freedom, sacrificing their time, energy, and in many cases, their lives. All this, so we can enjoy our rights; so we can worship how and when we want to. So we can say what we think and feel, without any fear. So if we think our government is doing wrong, we can protest that, and our voices will be heard. Those are just a few examples of what our soldiers are dying for to protect. Next time you see someone who puts their life on the line, so you can live yours, stop, and thank them. Let them know that their acts of courage are appreciated by the people they are serving.
   
Secondly, we should actively…

As I pointed out here, I met up and interviewed / was interviewed by students from the Fellowship Christian Academy.  During that time, they informed me that they were participating in the VFW’s Voice of Democracy; I offered to post their papers.  Here is the first paper.

Guest post by Peter:

George Washington, born February 22nd 1732, died December 14th 1799 from extensive blood loss.  Martin Luther King, born January 15th 1929, was assassinated April 4th 1968.  In his honor America has set up a national Martin Luther King Day.  Abraham Lincoln, born February 12th 1809, was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth on April 14th 1865.  Looked at as one of the greatest American presidents, Abraham Lincoln is remembered for his honesty and Integrity.  By looking at these facts, we can come to the conclusion that these people played a great role in not only America, but the world.  One might ask, “How did these men achieve such greatness?  “What qualities or characteristics made them different?” More importantly, “How do we follow in their footsteps, and how can we have an impact on the world around us.”  So let’s ask the question, does my generation have a role in America’s future, and if so, what will the impact be?

The answer to this first question is clear; of course my generation has a role in America’s future.  However, the answer to the second question is not so easily understood.  In order to understand it, we need to look at the people who we know have impacted the world, and examine them and their lives.  What did people like Lincoln, Luther, Washington, Einstein, Joan of Arc, Churchill, Alvin C. York and many more have in common?  The answer is simple; they all possessed great ethics and morals, and were not afraid to stand up for what they believed in…

Observation 2: Just think, A Republican (your’s truly) doing the job (the video) that a Democrat CAN’T be bothered do on her own…but can steal it!

Observation 1 (Updates 1 & 2 below): Well, including her arrogance in spending everyone else’s money with wild abandon, I guess this shows Carol Shea-Porter’s elitist disdain for the Principle of Private Property: "Oh, I NEED this, so I guess I will just TAKE it" – actions of a true Progressive (remember, Progressivism = Increment Socialism => "what your’s is…well, mine!")

I just got off the phone with Brad who answered the phone at Carol Shea-Porter’s campaign office; I have asked that either the Campaign Manager or the Press Secretary call me in regards to this picture from MY video of a micro-interview of Frank Guinta at the Rochester 9/12 NH CD-1 Congressional Debate:

Her ad, is not on her website (which basically has this shot doubled up on the screen without the folks that show over his right shoulder (our left) in the opening seconds of the ad.  Here is the BAD pic from the TV – I guess now I have to watch for the ad again: WMUR’s James Pindell sent the link – go ahead, look up and then look down.  Similar by accident?  Words to live by: Bridge.  Sell.

MY, how her ad looks just like my video! I HIGHLY doubt that her "tracker" would have gotten that shot exactly as I did!  I am demanding that her campaign no longer use that ad until she receives permission to use my materials.

A call to WMUR, Channel 9, is next.

Update 1:

Just got off the phone with Shaun Neville at WMUR Channel 9 – asked for a copyright infringement takedown – he is trying to find the right person at the station to have that happen.  I told him to look at this post – and yes, he has now seen the image.
