It was a wonderful experience riding on the “Christmas Bus” throughout Vergennes, Vermont this week. Here are some audio gems.
Christianity
Happy Birthday America
IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
Open Letter to Rep. Peter Welch, D-VT
Dear Peter, The newest incarnation of Shays-Meehan, HR 2093, is a BAD BILL and I urge you to vote against it, loudly. It will likely be attached to the pending House lobby reform package. Peter, when the ACLU and the Christian Right actually agree on something, I’d pay attention to it! If anything, public interest orgs. should have an easier go of it when it comes to accessing Washington, not a tougher one. Foreign interests who would reach out to D.C. would have an easier time of it than U.S. grassroots orgs. under this scheme. There’s nothing good in this.
Bill-O’-Sr.
Bill, Sr., turns another year younger today. Happy birthday, Dad. Here’s to God’s continued blessings upon you!
