Forever let her fly-- CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?
THE MAN IN THE GLASS
The "Show Me" state has
once again showed us how it should be done. They need more publication and
exposure on this.
Let's pass it around.
In 2007, Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment
designating English as the Official language of
Missouri ... Nearly 90% voting in favor! English became the official
language for ALL governmental proceeding in Missouri. It
also means no individual has the right to demand government services in a
language OTHER than English.
In 2008 a measure was passed that requires our Highway Patrol and other
law enforcement officials to verify the immigration
status of any person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the
person is found to be here illegally. It allows Missouri law
enforcement offices to receive training to enforce federal immigration
laws. The bill makes it clear that illegal immigrants will
NOT have access to taxpayer’s benefits such as food stamps and health care
through Missouri HealthNET.
In 2009 a measure was passed that ensures Missouri’s public institutions
of higher education do NOT award financial aid to
individuals who are here illegally. The law also requires all
post-secondary institutions of higher education to annually certify
to the Missouri Dept. of Higher Education that they have NOT knowingly
awarded financial aid to students who are
unlawfully present in the United States.

" Forever let her fly-- CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

This is important, folks! If you've already voted against banning the
American flag in schools, we need to do it again and again! That's
what the special-interest groups are doing, to skew the count! We need to
let the world know that American's DO have a backbone, and we won't lay
over and quietly submit! Thanks. ~Lynn
This is just sickening. Only 56% have voted on the FOX poll to NOT ban the
flag in school and something like 36% voted YES, to ban it. What is going
on in this country?? Read below.
Fox is running a poll about whether the flag should be banned in schools
in order not to inflame Hispanic students. The poll is being sandbagged by
CASA and the SEIU and we MUST mount a counter action. If you agree with me
that the flag should be taken down for no one, let's show them that we
patriots are STILL ALIVE AND WELL! Please share this with other Americans
who are also sick of the "anti-American, anti-US flag" groups trying to
undermine our country, our flag and our freedoms.
Anti-American organizations eg.
Moveon.org , Organizing for America, and SEIU have been twittering
today to go to Fox Poll and vote to ban the Flag .... and right now it is
working.
SHOW THEM WHAT TRUE PATRIOTS BELIEVE!!!
Let's flip those numbers and show the leftists we are organized and on the
move....flip the numbers now-FLIP THE HOUSE in November!
GO HERE NOW and vote to keep our flag in the public schools......:

"
THE MAN IN THE GLASS "
When you get what you want in your struggle for yourself, and the world
makes you King for a day, just go to a mirror and look at yourself and see
what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife whose judgment upon you must
pass, the fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring
back from the glass.
Some people might think you're a straight shooting chum and call you a
'wonderful guy', but the man in the glass thinks you're a bum if you can't
look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, for he's with you
clear to the end, and you've passed your most difficult test if the guy in
the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world, down the pathway of years and get pats on
the back as you pass. But your final reward will be heartaches and tears,
if you've cheated the Man in the Glass.
The above truism was found on the pages of the March, 2002 issue of
"LZ53".
