CPAC Straw Poll...And The Winner Is...Senator Rand Paul |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/08/2014 05:54 PM
|
Washington, DC....It what is arguably the first skirmish of ideas, rhetoric and positioning in the battle to represent the GOP in the 2016 race for the White House Senator Rand Paul earned the top spot in the Washington Times / CPAC Straw Poll. In fact it would have taken the next three contestants combined to surpass his vote totals. Other interesting revelations of the positions of the young GOP'ers is that they are increasingly libertarian leaning and while supportive or our overseas allies tend to be much less inclined to put boots on the ground. Following is additional details from CPAC. Today, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC 2014) in Washington, D.C. concluded with Senator Rand Paul winning The Washington Times-CPAC 2014 Straw Poll. The Straw Poll, sponsored by The Washington Times, was conducted by Fabrizio, Lee & Associates.

Washington, DC...."Hi, everybody. This week, I traveled to New England, where I was joined by four governors who are working to raise the minimum wage in each of their states. And they’ve also joined me in calling on Congress to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10 an hour. Because it would give nearly 800,000 Americans in their states a raise – and lift wages for about 28 million across the country.

"Burden Of Freedom" a Full Length, Feature Film on PTSD In Pre-Production Now ~By Rae Davis |
|
Posted by: thepinetree on 03/07/2014 08:24 AM
|
Murphys, CA...There are 22 suicides per day by our military men and women suffering from PTSD. This statistic far outnumbers our military’s losses in combat each and every day. Even one suicide from what should and can be a treatable condition, is still one too many. Why is this happening and what can be done about it? My name is Rae Davis, and I am a producer with the film, Burden of Freedom. This dramatic, full length feature film follows two Iraq war veterans from the military, to civilian life, only to find that their lives have been changed forever by PTSD. Currently we are in the pre-production phase of our film, and are rapidly gaining the support of current military personnel and of our country’s veterans.

President Obama emphasized that Russia’s actions are in violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, which has led us to take several steps in response, in coordination with our European partners. President Obama indicated that there is a way to resolve the situation diplomatically, which addresses the interests of Russia, the people of Ukraine, and the international community. As a part of that resolution, the governments of Ukraine and Russia would hold direct talks, facilitated by the international community; international monitors could ensure that the rights of all Ukrainians are protected, including ethnic Russians; Russian forces would return to their bases; and the international community would work together to support the Ukrainian people as they prepare for elections in May...

Frogtown, CA...Dubbed "America's Funniest Cowgirl", Karen Quest has been blazing a trail since 1998 with her one-woman original comedy act, Cowgirl Tricks.
