The Roxbury Day ofService started a few yearsago when 9/11 fell on aSaturday. Since then, the
event has been held on aSaturday close to 9/11, asSaturday seems to be the
best day for people to offertheir time.Monahan said that the
work to be done for seniorsand the disabled has comeabout by talking to seniorgroups about those whoneed a helping hand. Thework could include cleaningup a yard, doing some paint-ing or helping with otherchores.
Volunteers are needed tohelp collect food for thepantry at Roxbury SocialServices. Some volunteerswill be at Wal-Mart andanother local store takingfood donations. Other vol-unteers will be needed totransport the donations toRoxbury Social Services,while others will sort thefood.
Theres work to be done
in the parks, too.Monahan shared that last
year, 75 80 people volun-
teered. Those peopleincluded people from ninechurches, three scout troops,and other communitygroups. They were able tohelp 15 senior homeowners,plus collect about 60 boxesof food for the pantry.

Theyre away from
home, in a place
where theres mostly
rocks and desert. The envi-ronment isnt the safest and
they must be on their guard.
Ask these men and women
why they go there and
theyll tell you that they are
proud to serve their country.
These are our soldiers serv-
ing in Afghanistan.
Being so far away, pack-
ages from home aresomething specialeven if
that home isnt the one
theyre from, but one thats
adopted them.
"The Port Morris United
Local Church Sends Love to Soldiers in Afghanistansigned by the parishioners.
Also, with each box goes
a letter, the first introducing
the soldier to the church and
Port Morris community.For soldiers overseas amid
rocks and heat, the idea of
being adopted by a commu-
nity that sounds a little like
its the Mayberry of New
Jersey, brings a smile.
Methodist Church
[Landing] responds to needs
and our Adopt Soldiers
Program [boxes] sent to
U.S. Soldiers in the MiddleEast is one of our most
important responses. Weve
received responses from
some of the soldiers, and
our boxes are greatly appre-
ciated and treasured. The
soldiers are far from home
and in a hostile environ-
ment. These expressions of
support and love from back
home mean a lot to them. I
think, it is tremendouslyimportant for churches to
get involved in supporting
our servicemen and
women, said Rev. Nick
Petrov, pastor of the church.
The idea came about a
few years ago when a
parishioner, who teaches
English Composition
online, had a number of ser-
vicemen and women taking
classes while deployed.
They used their writing
assignments as a way to
share what was happening
in their lives. It became
clear that these soldiers
could use a little pick meup. Soon names and
addresses of student sol-
diers or the names of sol-
diers whose spouses or par-
ents took classes, found
their way to the church in
Landing. In addition, the
church has also supported a
soldier with ties to it, Todd
McDonald, who has done
two tours of duty, one in
Iraq and one in Afghanistan.The church is small, so it
adopts a few deployed sol-
diers at a time. Soldier
boxes go out about every
six weeks. They have items
such as packs of peanuts,
gum, Ramen soup, crackers,
beef jerky and cookies.
Oreos are a popular request.
Inside the boxes are some-
times put cards and crafts
made by the children of the
church or holiday cards

On June 5, 2012 I was taking a seizure in my van as my little girl watched from theback seat. A man that happened to notice came over, opened my door and removedmy keys from the ignition. He then phoned 911, the police and paramedics then cameto our aid. The police officer asked my daughter what school she went to in order tocontact my husband to let him know what happened and what hospital to meet us at.My daughter was very brave. I am very thankful to know that there are still goodsamaratins out there. I hope if that gentleman should need a lending hand that one willbe there for him.
Many thanks,

Your opponent works toward youusing small fast steps, a menacingblade in hand, searching for anopening, any opening to exploit. You do thesame, retreating, then advancing, lookingfor any opportunity to thrust your blade intoyour opponent, while not be hit yourself.Your pulse is thundering in your ears, youare super-aware and each second is packedwith excitement and electricity! You attacktowards your opponents center, but youropponent parries forcefully; a little tooforcefully you note, then the steel is crash-ing into and deflecting your blade
Where and when is this scene happen-ing? 17th century France, or England?Perhaps the action is from a movie aboutmusketeers, or even Lord of the Rings?No, this scene plays out many times everyevening at the Morris Fencing Club inRandolph, NJ, where head coach SlavaDanilov and his team teaches the disciplineof modern sport fencing. Fencing is quick-ly gaining popularity in the US, particularlyin the metropolitan NY-NJ area. The arrivalin the US of high-quality coaches fromcountries such as Hungary, Ukraine, andRussia have helped propel US fencing toheights never previously imagined. The US
is winning fencing medals at World compe-
titions and the Olympics as never before.Sure, all this makes for increased interest
in fencing, but its so different from familiarball sports that many have questions andwonder if its for them. The fact is fencingis terrific exercise for the body and mind. Itis an excellent whole-body aerobic work-out benefiting overall balance and coordina-tion as well. The physical rigor of upperbody for blade-work and lower-body forfoot-work ensures this. The strategy of thebout keeps the mind sharp and focused aswell. Additionally, as an individual sport,fencers can progress at their own pace yetexperience camaraderie and learn sports-manship in the club setting.
The modern sport of fencing has threeweapons. The foil, descended from theshort or court sword of the late 17th cen-tury, the Epee, descended from the duelingrapier, and the Saber, originally a cavalrysword. Each of the weapons and theirplay retain some of their unique character-istics in their modern sport forms, but mostof the foot-work and blade-work are verysimilar.
An aspect of sport fencing that survivedfrom when the weapons were sharp andused to settle matters of honor is the respect
and courtesy expected of its participants.
Thunder, Sweat, and SteelBouts are regulated closely for infractionsof the rules and bad behavior. At competi-tions, fencers are required to salute eachother, the bout director and the audience.They must shake hands at the end of a bout.
Perhaps for all or some of the aspectsmentioned above, many major universitiespursue fencers for scholarships and partici-pation on their teams. Fencers as a grouptend to have higher GPAs than other collegesports where fencing programs exist.
But perhaps the single most attractivething about fencing is that it is incrediblyexciting, good fun. It is never boring ortedious. It is impossible not to be engagedand energized when you hold a weapon andyour opponent does too, and you are expect-ed to go after one another!
Dont miss a wonderful opportunity forfun and improved health. Give fencing atry.

OutdoorSundayServiceRemembers9-11
By Elsie Walker
We invite and encourage thecommunity to come, whether
directly or indirectly touched[by the events of9-11]. Were rememberingthe human loss and sufferinglets gettogether and remember.be side by sidewith anyone that was affected , said Rev.Tom Kinter.
On Sunday, September 9th at 9:30am,the Stanhope United Methodist Church at#2 Route 183 in Netcong, will be holdingits annual outdoor service remembering 9-11.
Kinter, Pastor of the church, explained
the significance of the service being out-doors.
I think the outdoorservice is a visual ofthe losspeople were forced outside , hesaid, in recalling how people had to flee thebuildings. [So]on a given Sunday, wemake the sacrifice of leaving ourbeautifulsanctuary to sit on the lawn.
Kinter went on to note that a service likethis is also a way to teach children whattook place on that day. He likened it to whatthe Israelites did after crossing the Jordan.
They made sure there was something in
place that would educate generations aboutthe trials that were endured.
However, the service is not only aboutloss, it is also about life. During the service,a baby is being baptized.
Even when crisis strikes, we go on liv-ing. God is with us in life and death, saidKinter. The service is a reminder of that.
Afterthe service, the community is invit-ed to stay for a picnic sponsored by thechurchs United Methodist Mens group.
In the case of inclement weather, the
service will be held indoors.
The little guy in the picture was the one baptizedata previous year's service andwith him is hisgreat grandmother.

S
ometimes, those playing a tough soft-ball game might say they could use afew prayers. However, for some
teams playing this summer, their gamesalways started with a prayer.
The North Jersey Christian SoftballLeague just finished another season. Madeup of two league levels, Fellowship andCompetitive, the teams consist of people ofa variety of ages and occupations. Thisyears competitive league champ was theteam from Christ Episcopal Church in BuddLake. However, it was another story at theend-of-season charity tournament.Defeating Christ Episcopal Church to win
tournament was the Valley View Chapelteam from Long Valley.
However, the league isnt all about win-ning; its about fellowship, faith, and out-reach. Gary Lieberman, the League com-missioner since 2001, plays for the HolyTrinity Lutheran team. He talked aboutwhat the league is all about:
When I took over as LeagueCommissioner, I introduced a couple of newideas. I appointed a League Clergy Liaisonwho was the pastor from Holy Faith
Lutheran Church. [The liaison] interfaceswith the clergy from the churches in the
league and garners their support. I figuredif we had the support of the clergy, theleague would flourish, and it has. The sec-ond thing I introduced was to take a portion
of the annual league fees and designate it asa league benevolence earmarked to help agood Christian cause, one that was notspecifically tied to denomination. We alter-nate between sending our benevolence toMorris Habitat for Humanity and a few ofthe food pantries in the area. I feel it is veryimportant for the league to be more than justabout softball. Yes, we do gather in Hisname and we share some really good fel-lowship, but I also want to help othersthrough the league. The current league
Clergy[Liason} is Pastor Neil Tolboomfrom Morristown United Methodist Church.Pastor Neil is a former Wall StreetExecutive who left the business to become apastor. He has such a great story and is ahuge Christian sports supporter.
For many who get on the field, it is atime to just unwind and have funno mat-ter your skill level. Thats where theFellowship League comes into play. JoeWeston, captain of the Mt. OliveCommunity Bible Church team talked
about the two levels of play in the league:The competitive league is comprised of
all guys who grew up playing softball.They play hard and aim to win. At the endof the regular playing season, they haveplayoffs. The team that wins the playoffgames takes a trophy back to its church.Contrast this against the coed league -thatsus - which requires three women to be onthe field and in the batting line-up at alltimes. The guys are of varying levels of
skill and experience. The challenge is to getenough players to consistently show up for
games. Its a rare occurrence for a coedteam [ Fellowship League], to have enoughplayers for the coach to limit participationonly to those who display a minimal stan-dard of ability. So, the only recruitingrequirement is that you can swing a bat, notthat you necessarily can hit the ball.
Another thing about the North JerseyChristian Softball League is the variety of
people on the teams. The ages are from teen

up. Age doesnt seem to matter; its thelove of the game that counts. For example,Commissioner Lieberman, who alternatesbetween pitching and playing second base)shared that he just celebrated his 61st birth-day and, I have no plans on retiring any-time soon.
Robbie Post, co-captain of the StanhopeUMC-Port Morris UMC, is 73. Shes beenplaying since the team started a few yearsago and shared about some of the fun thisseason brought:
This year we didn't get to play fullgames because we were short on team-mates. However, we were thrilled to get toplay fun games with the other churches. Itwas so rewarding to find pleasant people
and amazing sports. We got to play all dif-ferent positions and found that to be a learn-ing experience.
At the end of each season, a charity tour-nament is held. This year, that tournamentwas held at Smith Field in Parsippany. Fiveteams competed: Morris Plains PresbyterianChurch, Market Street Mission(Morristown), Grace, The Church on TheMount (Netcong-Rockaway), Valley ViewChapel (Long Valley) and Christ EpiscopalChurch (Budd Lake).
Each team played four games as part ofa round robin format. Valley View Chapel
had a perfect day going undefeated duringround robin play and then won the cham-
pionship game over Christ Episcopal 9 - 3.No easy feat as the tournament started 8:30am and ended seven hours later, with mostof it played in 90+ degree heat, said MarkRuiz, Events Commissioner who plays onthe Morris Plains Presbyterian Churchteam.
Monies received from the tournament goto the charity of the winners choice. Thisyear it will go to outreaches support byValley View Chapel.
The fellowship shared by the leagueparticipants is of the utmost importance tome. I am thrilled when the Christian spiritshines in each of our games. Its not aboutwinning; its all about gathering and shar-
ing. And if we can do some good and helpsome folks, then all the better. Throughsoftball many churches have attracted mem-bers, helped heal those who are hurting and,actually, in a few cases, had players go on to
join the clergy. A few years ago, I wasdoing some electrical work and called for aninspection. The inspector pitched for one ofthe teams. So, you never know when youllrun into a league member, said Lieberman.

When theres a party, sometimespeople say that they wish the funwould never end. This LaborDay weekend theres a party thats beengoing on for 30 years. Its Lead East, theworlds biggest fifties party.
For that weekend, poodle skirts, leatherjackets, and greased hair come back in style.Classic cars, B movies, and doo wop are thenorm. The fun happens at the ParsippanyHilton from August 29th September 2nd.
The man who started it all, and has keptthe party going all these years, is TerryCook of Appleton Productions in LongValley. Recently, Cook took a few
moments to talk about how Lead Eastbegan, the 30th anniversary, and why hethinks the party just keeps going and going.
When we started, I wanted to do some-thing to make the event more than just sit-ting around looking at cars. For entertain-ment, we put up PA speakers, wired themtogether at the Flemington fairgrounds andhired a DJ to spin oldies music and make"dedications". Music over the PA at carshows did not exist at that time (1983). Wehired the Ringoes drive in theater andshowed Rebel Without a Cause to old carsonly, plus a zombie movie. We hired the
Bellmonts (without Dion) to perform onstage during the day, and a 50's band to playat our sock hop at the host hotel. Wearranged with the local burger joint down
the road from the Flemington fairgrounds tohave girls on skates serving the cars thatpulled in, and generally, turned it immedi-ately into more of a festival, said Cook.
The lead of Lead East refers to cus-tomized cars. Last year, 1,800 restored clas-sic 1972 and earlier cars, customs, lowrid-ers, and street rods were on hand. The par-ticipants came from 22 states and Canada.
Cook will tell you that when it comes tocars, he has no favorite . Recently, hes beenbuilding replica Bugattis and Delahayesbecause hes seen all the normal Americancars for the past 60 years at events and hasdeveloped a passion for French Coachbuiltcars from 1936-39. He feels those are themost beautiful cars ever built. I'm intostyling, not speed or horsepower, he said.
But, as Cook notes, Lead East is aboutmore than cars. It celebrates the 1950s.The music, sock hops, proms, and B moviesof the era come to the Parsippany Hilton forthat one weekend. The Hilton parking lotbecomes a drive-in theater at night.Spectators walking through the lots can seethe hangouts , of those showing their cars.
Lead East: 30 years Celebrating the 1950sCar clubs and groups of friends showingcars will claim a spot as theirs and decorateit. It is things like this that contribute to theevents longevity.
Most car shows have no entertainmentand are held in dirt fields. Ours is held in afirst class paved facility with tons of enter-tainment for the entire family, said Cook.
With the variety of entertainment, theressomething for everyone. So, whats Cooksfavorite?
Saturday night when everything is infull swing, the drive- in movies, the outdoorstage, two indoor stages, cars circling thehotel and cruising. Most car events are fin-ished by 4pm in the afternoon; ours goes till
midnight, then people dance in the parkinglot till the sun comes up! he said.
For the 30th anniversary, Cook saystherell be more bandsand of course,
more fun.Reflecting on this event which seems tohave survived the test of time, Cook shared, We are so fortunate to live in a countrywhere we can create and enjoy an event ofthis nature. God has been good to us. Mostof these cars are not legal to drive on thehighways of Europe due to their strict laws.As for the event, I just felt that car enthusi-asts deserved far better in terms of enter-tainment than sitting in a lawn chair with

The score is tied at 4-4. The next touchwins. You feint convincingly to the inside,breaking off the attack at the very last pos-sible moment, your opponent again parriesforcefullybut you duck under the blade,your arm now fully extended, your wholebody lunging deep, hard, and long sendingyour point speeding toward its target: the
now unprotected shoulder! Your sword
points lands first, your front foot next witha bang as your body extends into a deeplunge. Your opponent gasps with surpriseand you surprise yourself with your ownholler of victory! Taking off your masks,you salute each other and shake hands. Seeyou tomorrow night

Driving down Route 46 in theNetcong-Roxbury area, GraceChurch is a familiar sight. Whatpeople might not know is that Grace Churchalso has a campus in Rockaway. On Sundaymornings, a trailer drives up to the DennisOBrien Elementary School at 418 MineralSprings Drive, Dover and from that traileremerges a portable church set-up and atransformation begins. At 10 am, there are
the sounds of live praise music; the schoolhas become a church, complete with SundaySchool, nursery, caf, and worship area.However, it is not separate from Grace. Yousee, Grace is one church two locations,a multi-site set-up that churches in manyareas are adopting.
Its been a great ride, said Rev.Cameron Baker commenting on the estab-lishment of the Rockaway campus. TheRockaway Campus pastor, Baker is excited
The praise band at the Rockaway Campus of Grace Church plays at the 10am service.
Grace: Two Locations One Churchabout whats been happening at Grace. TheRockaway Campus was launched on EasterSunday 2011. It started with 23 families andhas grown to have 42 families call theRockaway Campus home.
The Rockaway Campus started from aprayful effort to alleviate a problem. Thatproblem was that the Netcong campus wasrunning out of parking. Grace had previousexperience starting a church plant (newchurch) in the west, but now the church wasgiven the gift of an idea, not to plant anoth-er church, but to expand the ministries it wasdoing at the Netcong Campus to anothersite. Baker noted that the idea went alongwith Graces Vision : to raise up genera-tions of families that are built to last.
Because it is previously planted a churchin the west, Grace decided to look to theeast for the location for its new campus.After looking at some venues, it approachedthe Rockaway Board of Education aboutrenting the school. Then, it looked to thecongregation for help.
We asked individuals from Rockawayand surrounding areas [who worshipped atthe Netcong Campus ]if they could seethemselves as missionaries to Rockaway[during the start-up period], said Baker.
The idea of the new campus, was not just
to worship in Rockaway, but also be part ofthe community.
Now Sunday mornings are busy at theDennis OBrien Elementary School as atrailer is unloaded with the items that willmake the school, temporarily, into a church.The contemporary worship service starts at10am with A great worship band, asBaker describes those that provide themusic. The sermon that is preached eachSunday is a reminder that Grace is truly onechurch with two locations. The same ser-mon given at the Netcong campus is alsoseen at the Rockaway Campus via live videorecording.
The two campuses share in activities andevents such as youth groups and service
projects done by the church.Though there are challenges in having a
temporary campus church building, suchas finding meeting space for church activi-ties during the week, there are many posi-tives, too. There are opportunities for fel-lowship, for spiritual growth, and for serv-ice.
Looking ahead, Grace is working onanother campus location: on the internet.The church is working to establish a greaterinternet presence which will include wor-
ship opportunities on the web.

social as their last taste of real food.The next day the scouts were up and
ready to go at the crack of dawn to boardtheir bus for a 3 hour long drive fromColorado Springs to Philmont. The crewarrived at the scout ranch around 10 a.m.giving the plenty of time to check in and getsquared away with logistics and their tentsite. The crew spent their first day obtainingtheir crew gear, meeting their Ranger, andenjoying all that Base Camp had to offer.
As the fourth day began the scouts were
on the trail around mid morning to avoid theafternoon heat wave. Throughout the trekthe crew did everything from horseback rid-ing to tomahawk throwing to rock climbingthe sandstone cliffs of the northern sectionof the scout ranch. Other activities includedshooting .50 Cal black powder and .30-06rifles, branding, and homesteading. If thescouts happen to be staying at a staffedcampsite at night they could sit in at thecampfire and listen to music and skitsplayed by the staff.

storm subsided the drenched crew contin-ued on their journey. The view atop Mt.Phillips was spectacular.
As the scouts returned from their 69-miletwelve-day trek they were covered in dirtfrom head to toe. Back at camp the scoutshad the opportunity of taking well-neededshowers and cleaning up before theyreturned home.
The crew worked very well together
and definitely knew all of their scouting andoutdoorsmen skills. It was a great opportu-nity, experience and privilege to return toPhilmont and lead such an incredible crew,said crew leader Ryan Stone.
The advisers and scouts who embarked
on this life-changing journey were JohnSchommer, Paula Masiello, Rich Walczuk,Tim Gary, Ryan Stone, Sam Walczuk, JeffGary, Michael Schommer, Nick Masiello,Brian Degen, Anirudh Krishnan, and John-Craig Borman.
The members of crew 630-J1 enjoyedtheir time spent in Philmont whether it is onthe trail looking out at the unrealistic viewsor doing the activities at each camp.

This is Vader from Eleventh Hour Rescue. Vader is less than a year old, and this energetic
35 lb pup loves to play fetch with his ball. He knows a few basic commands, he is house
trained, and loves to ride in the car. His ears are about as big as his head, or so it seems,
so he hears everything going on around him. He is very alert and willing to please every-
one he meets. He is good with other dogs who like to play too.He was found as a stray in Georgia and a family took him in. After a while that family gave
him to another family who also decided they didnt want to keep him either, so they posted
flyers around town that said Free Dog. The Second Chance Animal Sanctuary of north-
ern Georgia, a no-kill facility, saw the signs and took him in before he would end up in
a kill shelter and be euthanized. That shelter was full and so they contacted Eleventh Hour
Rescue of Rockaway, NJ to save him. In addition to taking local dogs in need, Eleventh
Hour Rescue acts as a safety net for many other rescue groups around the country.
Eleventh Hour Rescue then arranged transportation for Vader along with other dogs from
that area and brought them to NJ to find their forever homes via their extensive network of
adoption services.

Thomas Edison had iron operations and cement
businesses in Sussex County, NJ. His opera-tions were run on electric ity. After closing his
iron operations he recouped his losses by opening alime quarry near Sparta in 1919, which became amore successful operation. The quarry fed Edison'sPortland cement operations. Edison saw to it that thatthis mining community had electricity both at thework place and in their homes. Sparta became one ofthe first rural towns in the nation to have electricity.
In March 1876, after working in Newark for fiveyears, Thomas Edison relocated his base of opera-tions to Menlo Park, New Jersey working out of the
two-story structure in rural New Jersey. In the sixyears at his quiet Menlo Park location, he with hisassociates obtained over 400 patents. At Menlo Park,Edison radically improved the generator, while devel-oping numerous other devices to measure andimprove the production and distribution of electricity.This rural New Jersey town was his think tank loca-tion for electrical R&D.
After his light bulb invention in 1879, ThomasEdison pushed for an electrical generating station tolight up these bulbs. In the early 1880s his quest wasto get cities electrified. He took residence close to his
Pearl Street station project in Manhattan. His goalwas to build the worlds first central electrical gener-ating station. The first block in Manhattan to be litincluded the offices of The New Times and J.P.Morgan. The Pearl Street, NY generating stationsparked the electric lighting era that created powerplants to cities worldwide. The widower ThomasEdison returned to rural New Jersey. He marriedMina Miller on February 24, 1886 and had his home,lab and factory in undeveloped West Orange, NJ.However, except for the rural New Jersey towns thatwere favored by these Edisons businesses, most of
rural America was left in the dark. Electricity devel-oped two classes of American citizens: those with andthose without electricity.
Bringing electricity to rural areas was not a prof-itable venture to investor-owned utilities that onlyoperated compact distribution systems providingservice for high customer areas strictly for profit. Itwould take over 50 years before the sparsely populat-ed countryside of America would see electricity. Formany farmers the power that generated farm workand rural family living was either manual or horsedrawn. Investor owned utility companies could notbe forced to supply rural areas with electricity. Theonly way rural America would have electricity wasfor the farmers to bear the cost of constructing theirown power delivery system. This was a financialimpossibility for a farming community. Without elec-tricity, rural Americans were soon lagging behindsocially and economically compared to urbanAmerica.
It was not until the Great Depression that theseregional modernization divides were finallyaddressed by the nation. President Franklin D.Roosevelt recognized this inequity when executinghis New Deal program for the American people. On
Edison Electrified Rural New Jersey Towns DecadesBefore 1935 & Roosevelts REA
May 11, 1935, he signed into law executive order7037 which created the Rural Electric Administration
(REA). Rural towns across America would finallyget electricity just like rural places in Sparta, MenloPark, and West Orange, New Jersey that had Edisonselectricity decades ago.

A
s we head into the heart of the presidential election
season one has to stop and wonder about what has
transpired over the previous four years.When Barack Obama took office we were promised
change. Unprecedented change. After 8 years of George W
Bush we were told things were so bad that we needed
sweeping changes. When Bush left office things were on
the decline. But Bush who along with the Republicans went
on a spending spree and raising the debt was incidental to
what the Democrats have done the past 6 years.
We have heard for almost 4 years that this is Bushs
fault. When does the leader of the free world take responsi-
bility for his failed policies and actions? Obama is like a
child blaming everyone else except himself for his failures.
If the Democrats listened to Bush a lot of this crisis
might have been avoided.
The White House (Under Bush) Warned Congress About
Fannie Mae Freddie Mac 17 Times In 2008 about the hous-
ing crisis and that something had to be done.
April 2001: The (Bush) Administrations FY02 budget
declares that the size of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is a
potential problem, because financial trouble of a large
GSE could cause strong repercussions in financial markets,
affecting Federally insured entities and economic activity.
May 2002: The President calls for the disclosure and
corporate governance principles contained in his 10-point
plan for corporate responsibility to apply to Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac. (OMB Prompt Letter to OFHEO,
5/29/02)
April 2008: President Bush urges Congress to pass the
much-needed legislation and modernize Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac. [There are] constructive things Congress can
do that will encourage the housing market to correct quick-
ly by helping people stay in their homes. (President
George W. Bush, Meeting With Cabinet, the White House,
4/14/08).
May 2008: President Bush issues several pleas toCongress to pass legislation reforming Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac before the situation deteriorates further.
In September of 2003 Democrat Barney Franks said,
These two entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are
not facing any kind of financial crisis, said Representative
Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on
the Financial Services Committee stated. The more peo-
ple exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is
on these companies, the less we will see in terms of afford-
able housing. Once again Liberals more concerned with
Voters Need to Get Educated
and Not Listen to the Liberal Media!giving something away for nothing than doing what is right.
You have to also remember that in 2008 and into the first
term of Obama the Democrats controlled it all, House,
Senate and in 2009 the Presidency.
The National debt under Obama was at a record $1.42trillion in 2009 more than 3 times of that under Bush in his
first year.
Unemployment is worse than when Bush left office. Our
Countries standing with other nations is at an all time low.
I am sorry to have to say that the majority of voters are
uneducated and listen to what they hear from a media that
protects Obamas failed polices and does no research for the
facts just like the above mentioned on the housing crisis
warning from George W Bush.
Because the media protects Obama and his failures he
can run a campaign on scare tactics and lies to deflect from
the real issues and how he will solve the mess he worsened.
The American people need to wake up and educate
themselves with the truth. Go online and search out all the
details on Obama Care and read some of bill. You will see
how it affects you today if passed. Go research all the
money Obama invested in failed alternative energy compa-
nies and we will never see.
He talks about Romney and Bain Capital how Romney
closed plants and cost jobs. What about Obama and GM
(Government Motors) when Obama took that over and
closed thousands of dealerships leaving thousands withoutjobs.
Regan asked "Are you better off than you were four
years ago? Is there more or less unemployment...than there
was four years ago?
I asked the same question today are you better off now
than before Obama took office?
This is an election for the future not today. The vision
Obama has for this country has failed miserably and there
is none of the Hope and Change that he promised 4 year
ago.
The only hope is that he gets voted out of office and the
change would be a change in the Obama polices before he
drags this great county down even further.
Wake up America or one day you will wake up and there
will be no America.
