Who wins!?

Who do you think had the best speech at the GOP convention?

Recent e-mail I recieved.

Janice and I visited the Minnesota State Fair today.  We truly have a great state fair.  Families can travel the fair in safety with little fear of bodily harm or lewd behavior.

We ran into an old friend and sat to talk for while.  Approximately twenty five young families passed by pushing small children in strollers while we were talking.  We talked a little politics and it occurred to me that the Federal Government is taking money away from these young families to pay for my Medicare Insurance.

What do you think a $100 or $150 per month of cash money would mean to a young family.

One other thing troubled me about this scenario.  How many of the Senior citizens even know who is paying their premiums, and how many even care.  And is gets even sadder, these young families are so used to being ripped off by the government that they do not even notice anymore.

Because Janice and I elected to apply for Social Security early the Federal Government enrolled us in Medicare without our permission or knowledge when we turned 65.  I am starting to believe we are slaves to they state.

But the real slaves to the state are the young families whoes money is being taken from their children to pay our Medicare premiums.

Aug 19 Lakes Area Police Bar ProtectMyVote.com from Ki-Chi-Saga Parade in Chisago, MN

Written by Dan McGrath.

ProtectMyVote.com will request an investigation into whether officers’ actions were politically motivated

Chisago, Minnesota – Lakes Area Police officers today barred the ProtectMyVote.com parade unit from the Ki-Chi-Saga Grand Day parade in Chisago, Minnesota.

ProtectMyVote.com was paid, registered and assigned unit number 71 for the parade that started at 2:00 this afternoon. It was the very last unit in the lineup, but after the unit immediately before it passed through the intersection onto the parade route, police barricaded the road and refused to allow ProtectMyVote.com to follow.

4 non-parade vehicles travelling the road had cut into the parade line in front of ProtectMyVote.com. Officers directed thiem onto a side road, and then, to ballot committee chairman Dan McGrath’s astonishment, officers ordered ProtectMyVote.com off the road as well.

McGrath was driving the ProtectMyVote.com van. “We’re paid and registered for this parade,” he told one of the three officers blocking the road.

“You should have been on time. Turn off the road,” he responded. At that point, the parade unit ProtectMyVote.com was following was about 6 car-lengths further ahead.

“We were on time. These 4 cars ahead of me cut into the parade lineup. I drove for 2 hours to participate in this parade. Are you seriously not going to let us through?”

“I’m serious. Now get off the road,” the officer ordered.

Another officer chimed in, “We’re serious. Move it.”

McGrath complied and turned off onto the side street, parked and attempted to reach parade organizers on the phone without success. Next, he walked to the intersection and asked the officers for contact information for their supervisors. “That was pretty poor,” he told an officer who identified himself as Mike Merchlewitz.”

“Yeah,” he replied dismissively.

McGrath had spoke to the officer 20 minutes prior to this encounter about the lineup order. The officer was aware that ProtectMyVote.com was on-time and authorized to be in the parade, but barred the group from participating in the parade regardless.

McGrath said he’s lodged a complaint with the Lakes Area Police Department and requested a refund for the entry fee from parade organizers. He said he’ll also request an investigation into whether the officers’ actions were politically motivated.
