370 Days until election day.
MORNING UPDATE:
Repeal of the sales tax on services is a top priority. How to replace the “lost revenues”…your tax dollars is being debated. FOUR options: 1) reforms 2) cuts 3) other taxes 4) combination. I like 1 & 2…Democrats want 3…and so goes the debate?!?
Do You Know What's In The Law Of The Sea Treaty (known as the LOST Treaty)?
The LOST Treaty is an agreement that hands over control of the high seas and the ocean floor to a newly-created International Seabed Authority, a wholly owned subsidiary of the United Nations and the third-world, and signals the end of our right to sail the world in freedom!
Call Senator Levin and Senator Stabenow's offices and encourage them to oppose the "LOST Treaty".
"I have no desire to increase taxes again," Granholm said. Where have we heard that before? Opposing structural reforms in the state’s budget is leading us right back here.
The budget is growing…need the facts…go to:

Democrats are acting like teenagers who get their first credit card and haven’t figured out they have to pay it back!?! Granholm in Michigan and Rangel in Washington.
Recall movement growing…look at all the Democrat tax hikers under a citizen’s tax revolt. Is your Representative on the list?
The folks at Michigan Liberal wrote up a nice summary on “how a recall works”. You can see it posted here:

Politics as usual is a luxury we can no longer afford.
THE REST OF THE STORY:
- Do You Know What's In The Law Of The Sea Treaty?
In a nutshell, LOST is an agreement that hands over control of the high seas and the ocean floor to a newly-created International Seabed Authority, a wholly owned subsidiary of the United Nations and the third-world, and signals the end of our right to sail the world in freedom!
According to the U.S. Constitution, if the Senate ratifies LOST, it becomes law.
That's why Ronald Reagan blocked it so many years ago. He knew exactly what it contained and said, "Over my dead body!"
According to Carrie E. Donovan of the Heritage Foundation, Reagan had three major objections.
First , he objected to the International Seabed Authority (ISA), an organization designed to shake-down United States mining and maritime companies by requiring an application fee of $500,000, an annual fee of $1 million, and a percentage of profits -- up to 7 percent. These companies will be required to share their mining and navigational technology. And, oh yes, the ISA would effectively have the power to tax American citizens and U.S. companies.
Second, Reagan understood the true purpose of restricting the world's supply of minerals by limiting access to the sea floor. It was to force nations to buy from land-locked, third-world countries.
And third, he objected to the establishment of a United Nations-style court to rule the waves and rule against the USA.
Reagan regarded himself as President of the United States rather than Savior of the Third World. He wasn't willing to surrender an inch of American sovereignty and would never condone forcing American corporations to kneel and pay tribute to a bunch of third-world despots.
We know today what President Reagan knew then. If this treaty is approved by the Senate, Americans will surrender freedoms they can never regain.
Even presidential candidates Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, John McCain and Mike Huckabee have since spoken out against LOST!
Call Senator Levin and Senator Stabenow's offices and encourage them to oppose the "LOST Treaty".
