Our Director of Homeland Security no longer refers to terrorist attacks or a war waged against those who want to inflict harm on our country or its citizens but would rather call them "man-made disasters." But she does want to brand citizens who stand up for the Constitution as outlaws or individuals for law enforcement for target. Read this report and be very afraid.
You can always check to see where your local gathering is being held. Don't let Washington destroy the future for generations to come. Did you know that the CBO estimates that by 2019 the interest paid on the ever increasing national debt will be larger than defense spending? How can anyone prosper in that environment?
And don't forget what has spurred on this exercise in free speech:
I know I'm a glutten for punishment. Maybe sometimes I need to remind myself how absolutely rotten human beings can be. I'm just one of those people who doesn't naturally distrust people. Some time ago, I heard about a documentary called Dealing Dogs. For some unknown reason, I had to see it. It was one of the worst things I've ever seen.
Basically, it has to do with what are called "Class B Dealers" that lawfully operate with a license from the government (Wow, the government doing something hideous?). Anyway, the state of Michigan lawfully allows dogs and cats from shelters to be sold to these so called dealers to then end up as scientific experiments. These are our companions!
Please take action and sign this petition to support Michigan H.B. 4663 to eliminate pound seizures in Michigan's animal shelters!!
Little Nick went to his forever home last night. He's not in a mansion by any stretch of the imagination, but home is now with a young couple who obviously love their animals. They had two cats, brothers just like mine, and one of their boys died due to kidney failure.
They were looking for a new friend for their guy and spied Nick on the PAWS website. He's a rough and tumble guy who now has a safe home and won't be resigned to a life on the streets...not a very good life at that. I think he's going to do great!
So eighteen cats have come and gone (well, okay seventeen since I kept one) since August! Sounds a little nutty, but they have all found great homes. If you think about it, that is a lot of cats and a lot of great people who have opened up their hearts to help these little souls. Okay so I use the term "Little Nick" lightly obviously, but he was such a love bug! I'm just glad he is going to be in a place where he will get all the love an attention he desires! Here's to Nick!
I am going to be taking a little bit of a break from fostering. Now, don't get me wrong, I do other volunteer stuff with PAWS: adoption screenings, helpline calls and most recently pr and marketing for an upcoming event.
April is also Prevent Cruelty to Animals Month so I'm trying to get our executive director featured in some newspaper articles to further our cause. I'm sure the spare bedroom will have a new inhabitant sometime soon...they know I'm a sucker :)
