First off I believe you do have the right to carry any weapon of your choice anywhere you please for your own protection. I believe you should be able to do it without ridicule from groups like Moms Demand Action for gun sense or as I like to call them Moms Demand Ignorance!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are a bunch of great groups out there such as TexasOpenCarry and others who are fighting for a great cause. But please be careful about how you do this, our goal is to promote Pro Gun business&#39;s not turn them against us. Now lets look at this from a business perspective such as Starbucks and or Chipotle. These are large business&#39;s with stockholders and their main goal is bottom dollar for their stockholders. They have been using &quot;Local Law&quot; to stay out of the politics but when there is a possibility it will hurt their image to their stockholders they must take a position. To them the safest position is to not allow the guns in their stores. Right or wrong they feel its the best for business.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So Open Carry people please do this for all the rest of us open carry people who would like to get a burrito with our children on one side and our sidearm on the other...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
GO TO LOCAL BUSINESS&#39;S WHERE THE OWNER OF THAT BUSINESS IS PRO OPEN CARRY. YOU WILL BE WELCOME THERE AND BE ABLE TO POST TO SOCIAL MEDIA WITHOUT PISSING MOMS DEMAND IGNORANCE OFF AND GUESS WHAT...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The best part of all of this is since the owner is pro open carry if Moms Demand Ignorance or anyone else comes in and tries to cause a stir the owner will tell them to go shove it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember this is a fight and in a fight we need tactics, once there are hundreds of local business&#39;s that are booming because of their stance then your point will have been made.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy Carrying to all of you legal men and women of the United States of America!&lt;br /&gt;

Would you like to receive birth control? Or maybe you are paying too much for your government provided healthcare. Maybe you feel you are paying too much in taxes and your tax dollar is wasted on programs you do not approve of? &amp;nbsp;How about the $11.2 billion tax break for banks in the fiscal cliff package? Why is the common man seeing a $1,000 a year tax increase but big banks get a $11.2 billion tax break?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How do you increase your value as a voice? I mean you are only one in a little over 300 million ppl in the US. Well see the founders of the United States thought about this. They wanted to make yor voice heard as much as it could and that is why they wrote the 10th ammendment. See just like a great research and design team at Apple the founders split out country into 50 little R&amp;amp;D teams. They wanted to make sure you were getting everything your voice was worth. Take the great state of Indiana where I live and now my voice is 1 in only 6 million. Now this is easy, I can travel all over the state of Indiana and make my voice heard, petition for lower taxes more health care or whatever I want to see. I mean come on what middle class America has the time or the money to travel all over the country making his voice heard? Plus the best part about this is that if your ideas are not selected and some bill passes in your state that hurts your state you can easily show how bad the bill was and your voice will be heard louder the next time around. Plus now you have 50 other states to learn from. What did and didn&#39;t work for Ohio, we can take te good of their bill and leave out the bad. This is what the founders intended and will benifit the middle class Americans who do not have the money to make their voice heard on a national level.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I propose everyone democrat, republican, tea party liberal or libritarian come together and fight to have all federal programs moved to the state level. Lets move healthcare, tax credits and most other federal programs to the state level.&lt;br /&gt;

We need to get behind thhem and show the American ppl that just like a good business with their research and development team we need to break this into 50 small healthcare teams. Show the American ppl that it&#39;s best for each state to run their own healthcare system fund it, give the ppl their choice of benifits and so on and so fourth. We need to get ppl excited about how it will benefit them. When the money hits closer to home and the state sees they cannot afford it they will come back to a free market. This needs to be done with all socialist programs. But they need to be sold as &quot;why it&#39;s good the states run these programs&quot; not &quot;why these programs are bad&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Im sure many of you have heard about the Chicago teachers strike, let me inform you of a few details before I get to why they are striking.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;-In Chicago a teacher makes 75k a year, that is 35k or 115% above national average now I know the cost of living in Chicago is higher but not 115% higher&lt;br /&gt;
-50% of Chicago students score on the bottom 1% on their ACT&#39;s&lt;br /&gt;
-46% of public school teachers send their children to private schools&lt;br /&gt;
-They were offered 16% raise over the next 4 years but with that came higher accountability for teachers as well as non automatic rehires in the spring for teachers who do not preform.&lt;br /&gt;
-4 in 10 students do not graduate high school in Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;
-Chicago School system is $665 million in debt, within the next year it will exceed $1 Billion!!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV7u0XCmeLERSIttuZIwi0MBA7Z3dMLGtT4hzREbBHsRu6ZK8EvTxSUAhIHbcrio1VY2iZbxnJAphIpKV1M-JGeggI3x6LzfaWGcr8j4aBQWty_ntAM_c971Mj7EEmYxsaXsJ8qAM1CHGp/s1600/120911113141-chicago-teachers-strike-11-story-top.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;180&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV7u0XCmeLERSIttuZIwi0MBA7Z3dMLGtT4hzREbBHsRu6ZK8EvTxSUAhIHbcrio1VY2iZbxnJAphIpKV1M-JGeggI3x6LzfaWGcr8j4aBQWty_ntAM_c971Mj7EEmYxsaXsJ8qAM1CHGp/s320/120911113141-chicago-teachers-strike-11-story-top.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now with these facts show here it does not appear that Chicago teachers deserve a pay raise, especially not in this down economy. Where would the money come from to give these pay raises? When your system is going more and more in debt every year paying out more to 26,000 teachers is not the answer.&lt;br /&gt;
First off in a most other jobs and even most private schools and colleges your pay and your job is based off your performance. The Chicago teachers as a group are not performing well at all!! What in the world makes the Chicago Teachers Union think that any of those teachers are worthy of a pay increase?&lt;br /&gt;
The union is not benefiting anyone but the teachers pocketbook and the unions pocketbook. They are currently hurting the city, there are parents who are not working this week because they must stay home with their children. There are children who are home alone and some of them will be getting into trouble this week. They are already behind on learning and cannot afford to fall further behind. Because of the parents taking pay cuts for not working there will be less money in the pocketbook of these parents and therefore hurting the economy. Robberies from children will be up this week in places such as convenience stores costing the stores more money&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But my biggest problem with this is that they are wanting to teach the next generation and cannot even be held accountable for their work. What is this teaching the children look up to these teachers? No wonder the city of Chicago is in such a dumb when you cant even hold the teachers accountable how will anyone grow up to be accountable? This is the time for Mayor Rahm Emanuel to show he has a clue what he is doing. A little backbone here will go a very long way, time to step up buddy.&lt;br /&gt;

I did not get this from the beginning. Was their goal was to make such a difference sitting in a park holding signs. Dont get my wrong protesting can be very effective, but you have to get in, get your message heard, and then follow up to make sure that your goals are met. (or at least a few of them) But instead they have been sitting out there since September, their crowds have turned more from individuals who are looking to make a difference to homeless people looking for a handout.&lt;br /&gt;
The crimes at the occupy movements are a small part, The defecating on the Police cars, the defecating in the park, in some cities they have gone to looting local business&#39;s. (The same local business&#39;s they are supporting as they say) There was a 13month old child found left alone in the Occupy DC movement that police had to pick up. The crime rate in the cities has gone up 10-15% depending on the city since September. This is a a big problem because it is costing the city a lot of money. They must hire more officers, they must pay longer hours, pay extra clean up crews, and since their have been so many ppl arrested it also cost the city to have them in jail.&lt;br /&gt;
They are pushing city and fed gov back the other way, they are losing ground and support. What makes them think that a 4 month occupy movement is going to get anything done?&lt;br /&gt;
These ppl need to get out of there and get a life, most of them are unemployed, using drugs in these camps, and looking for a handout from the government. If the government were to give in it would only cost the government more money and that is the last thing we need.&lt;br /&gt;
I say kick them out. Each city should make a time limit on how long you can protest political actions.&lt;br /&gt;
I think 30 days is sufficient. If you cannot get your protest done in 30 days then you need not even be there.&lt;br /&gt;
They are protesting without a common end goal, this is like going on a road trip where everyone has a different final destination.&lt;br /&gt;
If they are wanting to go camping then go camping, rent a camping site and camp your ass there!!&lt;br /&gt;
Set and end goal, that everyone that is there agrees on, then set steps in place to achieve that goal, I think what these ppl need is a motivational speaker, a steno pad and a pencil. Then they need a good swift kick in the ass.&lt;br /&gt;

Now we have all put things on our new years resolution list for 2012 half of which we have already broke. Things like, &quot;Im going to get back into shape this year&quot; Or &quot;Im going to cut back on my fast food intake this year&quot; when everyones list should really consist of things such as &quot; I am going to buy one gun a month&quot; Or &quot;I will stack up on ammo&quot;, &quot;I will run everyday to build stamina&quot;, &quot;Build a Bomb Shelter&quot;, &quot;Perfect my shot&quot;, &quot;Learn outdoor survivor skills&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Many of you prolly think I am speaking of the Zombie apocalypse and these would all be good things to practice for if this were to happen, but that is not what I am speaking of.&lt;br /&gt;
Im speaking of the &quot;make or break in the world&quot; Many of the worlds governments are getting too big, including Americas. When America broke off from England they wanted to get away from the Big Government of England and now our government is just as big if not bigger. We were looking for small checks and balances to keep everybody one their toes and in check. Now look at this big government regulating everything and everyones life. Taking away the chance for the states to create opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;
This big government everywhere has been taking a toll on not only the US economy but the world economy. I feel if this continues there could be revolts all over the world, maybe even in the US. This could have a good end result for many countries but is it worth the price to pay? And with the technology that is out there now this would not be anything like the civil war would be. It could be much more deadly and depending on who is pulling the trigger on artillery it could even be catastrophic. My goal is to exercise my right of preparedness. To protect my family and friends if this does happen.&lt;br /&gt;
Best of luck to everyone else out there and give me a call if you need shelter and support.&lt;br /&gt;
I will most likely be in the middle of nowhere living off the land where I can protect my family.&lt;br /&gt;

Thankfully in Indiana we support the Death Penalty for specific types of murders, including the one that Michael Plumadore committed. I do not believe that there is ever a reason to take a childs life. The only reason that a citizen or an officer should ever take a life is under the the circumstance where their own life or the life of an individual around them is in danger from another human. No nine year old child will put your life in danger.&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Plumadore not only hit her with a brick and killed her, but then stored her body in his freezer. This is already creepy, why would you store the body of a nine year old girl you have just killed in your freezer? Then he pulled her out, dismembered her body with a hack saw and put her head and hands back into the freezer while dumping the rest of her body. This takes it to a whole new level!! Being able to kill a nine year old girl is one thing but then to dismember he body is a whole different thing. Could you imagine the problems this man would have to have in order to cut the body of a nine year old girl up into pieces as well as keep the head and hands for himself? &amp;nbsp;Someone with this mental ability should not have a chance for parol, should not have a chance to escape, but instead should be put down. There should be no more breeding for him. America is land of the free and home of the brave, but the free part is a privilege not a right. A privilege that can be taken away due to the actions taken by an individual. So please everyone, keep your actions in line with the law, go get a gun to keep your children safe from losers like Michael Plumadore.&lt;br /&gt;
I have also attached a link to the Indiana Death Penalty Laws below.&lt;br /&gt;

My prayers go out to Aliahna and her family.&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you for reading and I hope you agree.&lt;br /&gt;

Or &quot;So sad we didnt get a white Christmas&quot; You know what the ppl in South Dakota got a white Christmas and all they do is complain because their gifts are late. So if you want more snow move north but then dont complain when you get snow.&lt;br /&gt;
Or the famous &quot;OMG I gained so much weight&quot; Well whos fault is that? YOURS!! There are two things you could do, not eat so much or go work out, either or both of these would solve your problem. I mean I have gained some weight over the years but you dont hear me saying &quot;OMG stupid beer, why did I drink so much&quot; No you see me take a tylenol and grab a hair of the dog then make it a great day.&lt;br /&gt;
Now guys its the Holiday season, you have almost made it another year, you have a job to complain about instead of occupying a city, Obama could be out of office next year, you have family and or friends who love you. If you think you dont just remember about all the shit they gave you, ya thats love.&lt;br /&gt;
Be thankful for what you have and if you dont have what you want go change it, its up to you and no one else.&lt;br /&gt;
There Im done whining and complaining about the whiners and complainers&lt;br /&gt;

If you guys have ever seen Weekend at Bernies you know what Im talking about. Robert Young and Mark Rubinson thought this would be the greatest night ever to make come true, except it was with their friend. First off lets start with this. Robert is a 43 year old &quot;Im at the club creeping the 20 year old&quot; looking man. Mark is a 25 year old &quot;Im still partying my ass off every night and can manage to do that because I mix cocaine with whatever is at hand&quot; looking man. How the hell are these two hanging out? What they hell do they have in common that a 43 year old man is hanging out with a 25 year old and why is the 25 year old picking a 43 year old as a wingman... that has got to be the worst wingman combo I have ever heard of. They for sure are not getting laid and thats a fact! Anyways their friend dies by whatever means, that is not clear yet. But unlike most normal ppl who would think &quot;OMG Jeff died someone call and ambulance&quot; They grab his ATM card, &amp;nbsp;and go spend $400 on titties and beer! I mean yes titties and beer is always nice but come on guys I dont think that after your friend had just died titties and beer is what you should be focused one. And then secondly how were you comfortable knowing that his wife will be paying for your titties and beer? Could you imagine her getting the bank statement knowing that he spent $400 on titties and beer right before he died? Ya thats real comforting for a recent widow. I guess the moral of this is choose your friends wise and dont be a dick to your recently dead friend</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/feeds/5066599565747080045/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/its-only-funny-in-movies.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4203618781592794103/posts/default/5066599565747080045'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4203618781592794103/posts/default/5066599565747080045'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/its-only-funny-in-movies.html' title='Its Only Funny in the Movies'/><author><name>Travis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11645503438981229840</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wg5Kk12IsgQqu-eOsqDLR-MKNLhaZIzjMfbYahz2ZeThNH3hQ7vcH8jq7MolaQfjxFuccWVBGohKr6eRfsdQ1MtMVQA6SfAvgKHxVYmMhR6WpD_gBBH94Vks-XyPFvY/s220/me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203618781592794103.post-3119982284574511668</id><published>2011-09-12T06:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-12T13:01:15.084-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Job Bill/Education</title><content type='html'>Ok I have many problems with the new Job bill that Obama is pushing for but I will start slow and break this down into a couple posts. The first question I have is why does everything have to be signed &quot;Now&quot;, &quot;Sign this Bill Now&quot;? Now I by no means am asking for years to review bills that he or any other politician pushes but give us a little time to review the bill and assess the situation. Not everything has to be passed the minute it is written up Mr Obama. I am looking to get a new house right now, and we are on draft 3 of what should be a pretty standard form, minor changes here and there need to be made to make it most fitting for me and my wife. Do you think that everything in your bill is 100% right? NO ITS NOT!! Review the damn thing and make sure that it is fitting and the best thing we could do for the country!!!&lt;br /&gt;

Now to the actual bill... I am going to say this and I do not want some of you to take this the wrong way... EDUCATION!!! Where in the constitution does it state that the Federal Government should be putting moneys toward education?!?!?! This has upset me for years now. I do appreciate teachers, the things they do and think that they should be properly compensated. But I do not think that it is the Federal Governments job to take care of education. Education is one of the places the government spends money least effectively. The Fed Gov spent over $100 million dollars last year on education and every since the government has stepped into education it has taken an overall decline. I would like to see the school get great funding and be properly supported but I do not think that the Fed Gov should be the ones to do that. It is no where in there job description, not in the constitution, and wasted money as the results show. There are many other ways that schools could earn money and a properly run City/State Government along with a properly run school should have no problem funding themselves without Fed help. Get Rid Of All Fed Spending On Education!!!!!!!!! The Fed Government is not our daddy and we are not a 16yr old girl who needs money from daddy</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/feeds/3119982284574511668/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/job-billeducation.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4203618781592794103/posts/default/3119982284574511668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4203618781592794103/posts/default/3119982284574511668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/job-billeducation.html' title='Job Bill/Education'/><author><name>Travis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11645503438981229840</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wg5Kk12IsgQqu-eOsqDLR-MKNLhaZIzjMfbYahz2ZeThNH3hQ7vcH8jq7MolaQfjxFuccWVBGohKr6eRfsdQ1MtMVQA6SfAvgKHxVYmMhR6WpD_gBBH94Vks-XyPFvY/s220/me.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6Q2kpoVfQMBEZUGw7fTBuOWP1Q91EZDp-fNsqFAijiGFccK3hcxW3rwYivNzVUMvlUEucJ7ldX_IcBEL2KUH7HpIoGjNTeNpa6nr5U07NCKQT6FEBnq8OA8nGsbOl71vN8TqALLTm6qIR/s72-c/passbill.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203618781592794103.post-7477973538906615314</id><published>2011-09-09T05:54:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-09T07:50:35.470-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Federal Family?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;Is this a joke? What are we 6? Ok I know today should probably be about the Job speech by Obama last night but I will let the dust settle on that and talk about our Federal Family today...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;According to Obama he would like to change the name from the Federal Government to the &quot;Federal Family&quot;. Now the word government comes from a latin word Gubernare which means to manage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: inherit;&quot;&gt;. &lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;So now that I think of it the term Federal Family might be a pretty good term while Obama is in office. We wouldnt want to claim that Obama is managing the country like he should. but then again on third thought he has done a pretty good job of managing to step this country every day closer to socialism. So final and last stand is that Federal Government is appropriate, at least for now. But in all seriousness what in the world makes him think that he has the right to change the name? This is a democracy, in the constitution they use the word Government. What are we suppose to tell our kids? &quot;Well son, see what happened was we use to be this great country with a set of balls that ruled the world... Now we are just a bunch of panzy&#39;s and cannot use the original term because it sounds a little more harsh&quot;? &amp;nbsp;That is not what I want to tell my children. I want to tell my children that we have made mistakes as a country, that we have learned from our mistakes and with that we have learned not to hire someone with no job experience. I mean you dont promote someone to CEO if they have done a poor job as an office manage. Well at least we know folks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Looking at past history I am giving my first ever stock tip on my blog. I have noticed that when president Obama gives an address to the nation regarding jobs or the economy the stocks tank. Now maybe this is a coincidence but I would say after the third fourth or even fifth time it&#39;s becoming a trend. A stock market trend!!! Now as a stated last week President Obama wil be giving a speech Thursday on job growth. If I were any of you I would make sure my stock/ risk exposure is minimal come Thursday morning. By EOD Friday the stocks should be at their low. This would be a great time to buy. Depending on your choice in purchase they should start to bounce back by early next week and may take up to a few weeks.  The upside to this purchase is the dip is all based on fear  and not bad business choices by the corporation. Take my advice lightly and do your research before you buy, I am not responsible for your losses however if you would like to throw some profits my way I would be much obliged.
Thank you and have a wonderful day my fellow Americans</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/feeds/8640273844783224020/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/fear-in-market.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4203618781592794103/posts/default/8640273844783224020'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4203618781592794103/posts/default/8640273844783224020'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/fear-in-market.html' title='Fear in the Market'/><author><name>Travis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11645503438981229840</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wg5Kk12IsgQqu-eOsqDLR-MKNLhaZIzjMfbYahz2ZeThNH3hQ7vcH8jq7MolaQfjxFuccWVBGohKr6eRfsdQ1MtMVQA6SfAvgKHxVYmMhR6WpD_gBBH94Vks-XyPFvY/s220/me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203618781592794103.post-464528696792656846</id><published>2011-09-03T08:34:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-09-07T05:34:55.683-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Labor Day Weekend</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Labor day to most American has grown to just another day off, a day of barbecue, backyard football, and the beginning of the end of lake season.
But let&#39;s take a step back and take a deeper look at Labor Day. It was first observed in 1882 by the union in New York, it was not made a national holiday until 1894 when President Grover Clevend felt it was needed. The reason he felt it was needed was due the Pullman strike, a railroad strike of nearly 3000 workers. The strike bacame very heated resulting in 13 dead and $340,000 in damages. It was at that moment President Cleveland pushed to have this holiday as a national holiday.
This is a day to for all American workers, an extra day to recharge and spend with family and friends. But in 2011 this will be a day that working Americans should be thankful to be working, be thankful that next year we will have the chance to elect a new president. As I said yesterday Obama will be proposing a new plan on Thursday. Maybe this time he will have a plan to give instead of speaking about what he thinks his plan will do without proposing a plan.

So to all working Americans I have put a Labor Day festival Rib Recipe.
 Start by peeling the membrane off the back of the ribs.
Soak them in a mixture of coke, cinnamon, lemon juice, beer, cayenne pepper over night.
Set the grill up for indirect heat 275 degrees. Place ribs on rib rack opposite side of coals.  Keep coals at 275 for 3 hrs, feel free to add wood chips. 
Spay with mixture of jack Daniels and apple juice ever 15 min.
5 min before done smother in fav BBQ sauce</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/feeds/464528696792656846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/labor-day-weekend.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4203618781592794103/posts/default/464528696792656846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4203618781592794103/posts/default/464528696792656846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thesavingrace.blogspot.com/2011/09/labor-day-weekend.html' title='Labor Day Weekend'/><author><name>Travis</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11645503438981229840</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7wg5Kk12IsgQqu-eOsqDLR-MKNLhaZIzjMfbYahz2ZeThNH3hQ7vcH8jq7MolaQfjxFuccWVBGohKr6eRfsdQ1MtMVQA6SfAvgKHxVYmMhR6WpD_gBBH94Vks-XyPFvY/s220/me.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203618781592794103.post-6181990942692233771</id><published>2011-09-02T08:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2012-01-13T13:33:02.708-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Job Creation"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Obama"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Obamacare"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Speech"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Unemployment Rate"/><title type='text'>President Obama has a new plan for Jobs</title><content type='html'>President Obama has a new plan for jobs that he will to address to congress next Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;
Obamas last attempt at increasing jobs in the US did not produce nearly the amount of jobs that was expect. IMO it was a waste of money for the number of jobs created.&lt;br /&gt;
Throughout his presidency Obama has made it more expensive for a small business to employ each individual. Therefore small business&#39;s across America are having to tighten their belts and not hire new workers. The goal for Obama with his speech on Thursday should be to lower cost of all small business&#39;s to employ workers. This will in turn give business the opportunity to either take that money and hire or use that money to promote much needed products. Next step... See what he will say...&lt;br /&gt;
