Virginia House rejects $125M in Federal Cash

I understand that Gov. Kaine is upset that the Virginia House REJECTED some federal stimulus cash, which would have gone to unemployment compensation.

As somebody who has recently been laid off, and thus would qualify for this cash, I have a comment to the House of Delegates.......

BRAVO! You did the right thing. Yes, I could be self-focused and want the cash...but we must look beyond the quick fix and look to what is best for Virginia.

Should Virginia become dependent on federal handouts and the corresponding strings attached? NO!

We need to work with business and lower the corporate tax rates...to attract business to Virginia and CREATE MORE JOBS. We have to take the long-term view of what is best for our country, for Virginia and for our children and grandchildren.

Burdening our future generations with millions of dollars of debt is the WRONG approach. America will soon be owned by our debtors, including the Chinese, under Obama's plan.This country was found on independence, Christian values and freedom. We cannot bow to any foreign power if we want to keep our freedom.

Obama is clearly taking us in the wrong direction, toward bankruptcy and massive debt...from which we cannot emerge.

It is time for all Americans, regardless of their party, to fight to take back our country. Fellow citizens, please get active now, while we still have time.

After he signed the Declaration of Independence, a woman asked Benjamin Franklin, "Mr. Franklin, what have you given us?" He replied "A Republic.....if you can keep it."

Friends, lets join the fight to keep it!!
