Lorie Van Auken, who lost her husband at the World Trade Center, said Sept. 11 families also plan to keep up the pressure for change.
"We want everybody's attention to stay focused on the report and its recommendations because the status quo failed us," she said. -Assoc. Press
We were not failed on September 11th. We have been failed by those who have used the tragedy of that day as a means to steal the liberty of our people. In a free society those who wish to grow and prosper that society and those who wish to destroy must all be free together. We were not failed on September 11th.
We were not failed on September 11th. We have been failed by those who cried out against the liberties that allowed a tragedy like that to take place. We have been failed by those who see continued degrading of the second amendment as a way to protect America. We have been failed by those who feel more cabinets, more stafffs, and mopre government is needed because of that day. We were not failed on September 11th.
We were not failed on September 11th. The failure of America was in the apathy to the blood that must be shed in the name of liberty in the years and months before the tragedy. The failure was in the months and years since the tragedy where that apathetic surrender of liberty has pursued. That day America was angry, proud, valiant, and nobel. That day America was united one nation endowed by their creator. That day America was in her glory. We were not failed on September 11th.

Rushville, IL
We had a show this past weekend in Rushville, IL. This place is basically about 100 miles past absolutely nowhere. It was the abe solute desolation of society. I must say the people were wonderfully nice and it was a great show, but this place was so isolated they did not have cellular service. This place was so far removed from anything urban they did not have a Mc Donalds or a Walmart. This place was so emptied of civilizations convinences that ... OK I am out of mean things to say.
If you ever have nothing to do and want to visit nowhere, check out Rushville. Wonderful people in the middle of nowhere.

The MASH Quiz
So My brother had a link to this quiz up on his site. I was a little offended at who I turned out to be, but hey there is some element of truth in comedy I assume.
Why I Am Excited About Dr. Keyes
Many of my firends have been giving me a hard time about my excitement over Dr. Keyes after my many blasts and tyrates against the Republican Party of the last 2-3 years.
I want to address this so there are no questions about my loyalty to this campaign from any of them.
About 4 years I got out and there and worked the events, worked the streets, gathered names, handed out buttons, literature and bumper stickers during the primaries season. I was very upset with the lack of fiscal conserativeness I saw from the party. I was upset with the over whelming RINO nature of the party, and I was upset with the social policies being popularized by republicans claiming to be from the party of Lincoln. All in all I had lost all faith in moderates. So there I was working the primary campaign of the last vestibule of true conserative constitutional federalism I saw as a player in the party. I was campaigning for Dr. Keyes.
When the party saw fit to award the nomination to a moderate RINO I gave up on finding hope from within the halls of the GOP. So for the last four years I have considered myself more closely associated with the libertarians than with the National GOP RINOs.
I do believe that George W. Bush is BAD for our economy. I beleieve that under his presidency we have seen government grown as bad as under any Democrat president. He has allowed for the expansion of Clinton's socialist programs. He has signed further socialism into law.
In addition to my issues with his moderate concessions to socialism, I believe he also lost focus on the War on Terror. That is a war to bring down those who are actively working to endanger American lives.
The answer to Americas safety is not in spending money the federal government has stolen from my hardwork to build infrastructure throughout Iraq. It is to find find the antibiotic necessary to take down the entire structure of the terroris organizations.
But I digress.....
I am not back on board with the GOP. I am on board with Dr. Keyes. The GOP must see the only sustainable future this nation has is to embrace the principles of liberty that Jefferson, Madison, and yes Dr. Keyes stand for.

Keyes For ILLINOIS
Christi and I went to the Alan Keyes Rally yesterday in Arlington Heights. It was awesome. He is such a talented speaker and so well thought out. He is truly the kind of leadership I hope the people of Illinois have the insight to send to Washington as our Senator.
He deftly answered his reasons for carpetbagging in Illinois with his moral obligation to oppose the murderous agenda of Barak Obama's love of full birth abortions. It is a shame that anyone would support the killing of a living human in the name of convience.
I hope the people of Illinois have the insight to elect Dr. Keyes as a wise social conserative, fiscal conserative, opponent of affirmative action, welfare, abortion, and the income tax. Illinois needs Alan Keyes.

Congrats To Nate and Jenni
I was unabe to mention when I found out that Nate and Jeni 2 of my best friends froms College have taken over the foster care of an 8 month and 2 1/2 year old. As the dad of a 3 year old and little one it is quite impressive to see anyone take over with out the warmup of having only one. I am so proud of them.

15 Days With Out A Post
So I am sorry I completely died there for a while as far as posting goes. It has just been very Crazy so let me tell you what has been going on in these missing 2 weeks.
First there was camp. We had about 70 litte munchkins at Junior week this year at Rockford Christian Camp. I had a staff of 5 people incuding myself running all the afternon and evening activities. It was A LOT of fun, and very energizing.
Anna and Ella both enjoyed their camp experiences as well. Of course Anna was our youngest camper of the week at 2 weeks old, but that is not the youngest camper I have ever seen there because Henry's niece came out to camp only a few days old if I remember correctly.
Ella was a walking collection of dirt. The highight of enterainment to me was while we were at lunch my mom commented she did not know how Ella got SOOOO much sand in her hair everyday, then no more than 10 minutes after lunch I saw Ella in the sandbox (A.k.a. Voleyball Court) rubbing the top of her head in the sand.
After camp we had about 2000 shirts to get done this week, so we were VERY busy in the T-Shirt Company as well. So here I am hopefully back and able to et back to posting.
P.S. Alan Keyes is running for the Republican Senate seat in IL. I am joining the campaign.

Orbitz: Major Airlines Match Southwest Sale
Orbitz: Major Airlines Match Southwest Sale
I am an extremely LOYAL southwest customer and fly theiur friendly skies any time I can becuase of their great deals and finacial commitment to not take government welfare after 9/11.
Kudos to them on the sale tactic the other carriers are using to promote their own federal fund sucking airlines.
