EMERGENCY ALERT JUST IN: CDC Atlanta (Centers for Disease Control) - The Center
for Disease Control has issued a WARNING about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called, "Gonorrhea Lectim." It pronounced "Gonna re-elect him" and it is a terrible Obamanation. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior. Many victims contracted it in 2008 ... But now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-3 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is. It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a NEW DRUG just coming on the market called Votem-out. You take the first dose now and the second dose in Nov. 2012 and simply don't engage in such behavior AGAIN; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it. Please pass this important message on to all those folks you really care about!

Insight from Charlie Harper, Peach Pundit, on why he'll be voting "Yes" in November!! "For parents who face bureaucratic walls and no choices but a non-responsive, failing school, there should be more options more local than a one size fits all school board. That appeals process can come from a state charter schools commission. Not another level of bureaucracy as critics attempt to paint it, but a volunteer appointed board that can grant charters to schools which can demonstrate a plan which involves parental commitment, educational rigor, and a reasonable financial plan." From the Fordham Institute's Education Gadfly Weekly....."According to pre-election polling, over half of Georgias voters appear to support more public school options in Georgia. Not surprising, considering that twenty years of charter schooling have highlighted the dysfunction of Georgia-style local control and the extent to which school boards and superintendents will go to preserve their nearmonopolies. Ten other states have independent panels of this sort to authorize charter schools, precisely so that promising charter providers dont have to depend on the whims of recalcitrant school boards. Georgia should rejoin them." And Debbie Dooley nailed it with, "This whole issue is not about charter schools, it is about control."

pollution, especially to those houses whose back doors are no more than 50-100 feet from those passing big rigs? And yet our BOC tried to force it through without doing a single noise, pollution, or environmental impact study in regards to how this major road would affect our neighborhood. It is called political corruption! The BOC tried to stick a four lane highway through our neighborhood, Winslow at Eagle's Landing, before we brought a Title 6 complaint against them for not having done easement studies, environmental studies, noise studies or anything. They literally thought they would just roll over us. One of them whom I won't name even told me and I quote "Your little neighborhood just doesn't count for much." Understand he was saying that about 309 households of people who are your neighbors. Hopefully the new BOC will be better. The old one was awful and didn't care a bean about the people of the county. The only way the new BOC will be better though is if we hold their feet to the fire and make them do the right thing, or vote them out of office also!

By Emanuel Jones
The editorial featured in The Henry County Times promoted race baiting and fear mongering. My favorite local newspaper has printed a viewpoint typical of our racist state senator. This decision has the potential to take us back to the pre-Civil Rights days of segregated schools and change the way our state funds public education. ~ Emanuel Jones Voting YES for this constitutional amendment effectively re-segregates our schools and will erase decades of progress minorities have fought for in this great state. ~ Emanuel Jones Watch Jones play the race card on the Senate floor: HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=Y1PXPCSSB3Y It is common for Jones to make his arguments, whether it is district maps or education, based on racial motives and playing to fears. So long as voters continue to elect racist representatives, and they are given a bully pulpit to preach Us vs. Them, the great issues we face as a society cannot be met with rational and meaningful resolutions.
Hillary Clinton Says America Must Ignore Violence And Islamic Extremism Sweeping Middle East And Continue To Back Arab Spring
(REUTERS) The United States must look past the violence and extremism that has erupted after the Arab Spring revolutions and boost support for the regions young democracies to forge long-term security, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said on Friday. Clinton, seeking to reinforce the Obama administrations Middle East policy following a wave of antiAmerican violence and last months deadly attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, said Washington cannot be deterred by the violent acts of a small number of extremists. We recognize that these transitions are not Americas to manage, and certainly not ours to win or lose, Clinton said in a speech to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank. But we have to stand with those who are working every day to strengthen democratic institutions, defend universal rights, and drive inclusive economic growth. That will produce more capable partners and more durable security over the long term. Middle East unrest has become fodder for the U.S. presidential campaign, where Republican candidate Mitt Romney has sought to portray President Barack Obama as an ineffectual leader who has left the United States vulnerable at a time of international crisis.
