Race to Nowhere

Spurred mostly by the Texas budget crunch, Shannon and I have been talking lately about some the changes needed education. Today I learned about the film/advocacy project Race to Nowhere.

Plano ISD and the Plano ISD Education Foundation are sponsoring two screenings in Plano on Monday, February 21. The screenings will take place at Williams High School and the other at Plano Senior High School at 7pm.

From the trailer, the film nails life in Plano. It will be interesting to see what kind of discussion comes out of the film here.

Stop this Health Care Reform

America is on the verge of changing forever. We must stop this attempt to hijack America.

If you are in favor of reforming health care, that’s fine. We can debate it, reach an agreement, and vote on it. BUT that is not what Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are trying to do. No, they are trying to force their plan down our throats without actually voting on the bill as required by our Constitution.

If they succeed, what is to stop them again from using these same tactics to handle immigration reform, gun legislation, religious freedoms, budgets, tax increases, you name it.

Join the fight.

The Truth about Pelosi’s Health Care Bill

Do you want to know the Truth about Pelosi’s Health Care Bill?

This bill is 1,900 pages folks. It is going to destroy America. The House Republicans want you to know what this bill is about and they are utilizing the web site healthcaretruth.amplify.com to do so.

As House Republicans continue to battle Speaker Pelosi’s $1.3 trillion government takeover of health care, they’re using a new tool – Amplify.com – to engage the American people in a section-by-section dialogue scrutinizing all 1,990 pages of PelosiCare. Republicans hope the new site will provide the American people with an unfiltered online clearinghouse for emerging information about the Pelosi bill as Democrats attempt to bring the massive legislation to a vote. The idea is simple. As House Republicans pour pore through the Speaker’s health care monstrosity and uncover harmful provisions not being disclosed to the American people by the majority, Amplify allows House Republicans to clip specific portions and explain what they mean in plain English.

Learn for yourself what this bill is about and let Congress know this is not the health care reform Americans want!
