I know you'll be touched...
==================================

Dear fellow Americans,

For the second time in my adult life, I am not ashamed of my country. I want to thank the hard working American people for paying $242 thousand dollars plus additional expenses for my vacation in Spain. My daughter Sasha, several long-time family friends, my personal staff and various guests had a wonderful time. Honestly, you just haven't lived until you have stayed in a $2,500.00 per night suite at a 5-Star luxury hotel. We only booked 70 rooms for our friends, staff and family. Thank you also for the use of Air Force 2 and the 70 Secret Service personnel who tagged along to be sure we were safe and cared for at all times.

Air Force 2 only used 47,500 gallons of jet fuel for this trip and carbon emissions were a mere 1,031 tons of CO2. It costs only $11,500 per hour to operate Air Force 2 and each additional plane for the other members of our party group. These are only rough estimates, but they are close (who's counting?). That's quite a carbon footprint as my good friend Al Gore would say, so we must ask the American citizens to drive smaller, more fuel efficient cars and drive less too, so we can lessen our combined carbon footprint.

I know times are hard and millions of you are struggling to put food on the table and trying to make ends meet. I do appreciate your sacrifice and do hope you find work soon. I was really exhausted after Barack took our family on a luxury vacation in Maine a few weeks ago. I just had to get away for a few days. Will write more from Martha's Vineyard where we will spend our sixth vacation this year with more of our family and friends.

Cordially, Michelle Obama ]]> Legal Policy, Politics and Serious Discussions JWB http://208.112.103.179/forums/showthread.php?t=1465 http://208.112.103.179/forums/showthread.php?t=1464&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 21:41:58 GMT WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Hershey, PA (September 2, 2010). Protect The Hersheys' Children, Inc. (PHC) has requested IRS, U.S. Senate, and PA Department of Banking investigation of the Hershey Trust, the world's largest residential childcare charity. PHC is a watchdog group that monitors the $7.5 billion charity. PHC has long sought reform of the charity's board, citing its poor childcare record and wasteful spending.

In a letter dated September 1, 2010, PHC apprised the IRS, the Senate Finance Committee, and PA Secretary of Banking Steve Kaplan of potential compensation abuses committed by the charity's board. PHC's letter relies on public statements made by the charity's board to show practices that the group asserts warrant scrutiny.

While the Hershey Trust ordinarily is under the supervision of Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett, board compensation questions trigger shared oversight on the part of the IRS, state bank regulators, and Senators Max Baucus and Charles E. Grassley of the Senate Finance Committee. If these officials were to look into the matter, it would bring scrutiny to the Hershey Trust beyond that of PA's principal charitable oversight official, Tom Corbett.

PHC has criticized Corbett's refusal to act against the charity's board, arguing he indulges it due to political ties with its leadership. The Hershey Trust chairman is former two-term Keystone State Attorney General LeRoy Zimmerman. Corbett and Zimmerman are both Republicans and the charity is notable for its large number of prominent Republican appointments. PHC is nonpartisan.

According to PHC, "While compensation excesses are far from the only problems burdening the Hershey Trust, they may open the door to credible examination of this charity's activities by uncompromised parties. It's obvious that Tom Corbett won't take action. We hope the IRS, the Senate Finance Committee, and the state Department of Banking will. Thousands of children's lives are at issue along with vast childcare resources. It's high time for meaningful action here."

Question:
What is the truest definition of Globalization?

Answer:
Princess Diana's death.

Question:
How come?

Answer :
An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel,
riding in a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whiskey,
(check the bottle before you change the spelling), followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles
treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.

This is sent to you by a Canadian, using American Bill Gates' technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian truck drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals...... .

Subject: FW: CORDOBA HOUSE





I read about the Cordoba House established in Cordoba, Spain

many centuries ago after the Moors conquered the Christians.

A cathedral was converted into a mosque and named accordingly.

A reversal happened when the Moors were driven from Spain.

Google explains the history.



Subject: Superb Statement

This is the most clearly stated, sensible, and historically accurate
statement that I’ve read on this issue (and I’ve read a lot of them).

Statement on the Proposed “Cordoba House” Mosque near Ground Zero
Newt Gingrich

July 21, 2010 6pm
There should be no mosque near Ground Zero in New York so long as
there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. The time for
double standards that allow Islamists to behave aggressively toward us
while they demand our weakness and submission is over.

The proposed "Cordoba House" overlooking the World Trade Center site –
where a group of jihadists killed over 3000 Americans and destroyed
one of our most famous landmarks - is a test of the timidity,
passivity and historic ignorance of American elites. For example,
most of them don’t understand that “Cordoba House” is a deliberately
insulting term. It refers to Cordoba, Spain – the capital of Muslim
conquerors who symbolized their victory over the Christian Spaniards
by transforming a church there into the world’s third-largest mosque complex.

“Cordoba,” in Islamic symbolic terms, means Islamic rule in the West.
Today, some of the Mosque’s backers insist this term is being used to
"symbolize interfaith cooperation" when, in fact, every Islamist in
the world recognizes Cordoba as a symbol of Islamic conquest. It is a
sign of their contempt for Americans and their confidence in our
historic ignorance that they would deliberately insult us this way.
Those Islamists and their apologists who argue for "religious
toleration" are arrogantly dishonest. They ignore the fact that more
than 100 mosques already exist in New York City. Meanwhile, there are
no churches or synagogues in all of Saudi Arabia. In fact no Christian
or Jew can even enter Mecca. And they lecture us about tolerance.

If the people behind the Cordoba House were serious about religious
toleration, they would be imploring the Saudis, as fellow Muslims, to
immediately open up Mecca to all and immediately announce their
intention to allow non-Muslim houses of worship in the Kingdom. They
should be asked by the news media if they would be willing to lead
such a campaign.

We have not been able to rebuild the World Trade Center in nine years.
Now we are being told a 13 story, $100 million megamosque will be
built within a year overlooking the site of the most devastating
surprise attack in American history.

Finally where is the money coming from? The people behind the Cordoba
House refuse to reveal all their funding sources. America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive
designed to undermine and destroy our civilization. Sadly, too many of
our elites are the willing apologists for those who would destroy them if they could.
No mosque. No self deception. No surrender.
The time to take a stand is now - at this site on this issue.

If, after reading this, you agree with it, please pass it on to
others. This is the most clearly stated, sensible, and historically
accurate statement that I’ve read on this issue (and I’ve read a lot
of them). ]]> Legal Policy, Politics and Serious Discussions Bob Chalmers http://208.112.103.179/forums/showthread.php?t=1454 http://208.112.103.179/forums/showthread.php?t=1452&goto=newpost Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:57:15 GMT I just received an email form Luther O'Shell informing me of Bob's ('56) passing.

Former Pennsylvania Attorney General LeRoy Zimmerman, head of the Hershey entities, has announced the appointment of two prominent Republicans – Barbara Barrett and James Sheehan – to two new positions on the Hershey Trust and Milton Hershey School boards.

Barrett was an ambassador to Finland during the George W. Bush administration and ran for governor of Arizona in 1994. Sheehan was General Counsel to former Governor Tom Ridge.

They join other Republican luminaries on entity boards, including Zimmerman himself; former gubernatorial candidate Lynn Swann, who sits on the board of Hershey Entertainment & Resorts; and former governor Tom Ridge, who sits on the board of The Hershey Company.

The compensation of entity board members varies. According to IRS records, “LEROY S ZIMMERMAN” (presumably LeRoy S. Zimmerman) received $283,500 in regular compensation and $152,867 in pension plan contributions from the Milton Hershey School during the period from Aug. 1, 2007, to July 31, 2008.

Other members of the school’s board received lower amounts. For example, during the same period, Raymond Gover, former president of the former Harrisburg Patriot- News, received $110,000 in regular compensation and no pension plan contributions.

With these appointments, there are now 10 members on the Board of Directors of the Hershey Trust Company and Board of Managers of the Milton Hershey School. (The two boards share the same members.) Could even more Republicans be added to the school’s payroll? Yes. According to the official Aug. 5 announcement, “Zimmerman said more appointments are expected in the coming months….” ]]> Legal Policy, Politics and Serious Discussions Bob Chalmers http://208.112.103.179/forums/showthread.php?t=1451
