Keekee Speaks

The grocery store had bottled coke products on sale, so I stocked up today. I had to buy 4 cases of soda, so I decided to try the new flavor, Cherry Sprite. It was a bargain at 4 cases for $10, so I went for it. Even if I don’t like it, which I’m pretty sure I will, I can always give it to the kids to drink as a treat.

The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. It’s always a happy celebration no matter what your religion or family has to do with it. There are fireworks, parades and picnics. It’s a great day.

A lot of people think of that silly song that Jeff Foxworthy did when you say “Here’s your sign” but this is a different sign altogether.  Have you thanked a soldier lately?  Have you ever thanked a soldier?  You should because of what they are giving for our country.  Some sacrifice their time, jobs and monetary levels they had before they were called into service.  Others give far more so I think it’s time we gave them a sign of our appreciation.

Have you heard about this?  I just had to add it to my blog in hopes that it reaches as many people as possible.  Please read and respond to this.  Thank you!

On Tuesday, the Senate health committee voted 12-11 in favor of a two-page amendment courtesy of Republican Tom Coburn that would require all members and their staffs to enroll in any new government-run health plan. It took me less than a minute to sign up to require our congressmen and senators to drink at the same trough!  Three cheers for Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana!

Congressman John Fleming ( Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same health care plan they force on us (under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt).

Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go on his website and sign his petition (very simple – just first, last and email).  I have immediately done just that at: http://fleming.house.gov/index.html.   Please urge as many people as you can to do the same!

If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families. But you know me, I speak what’s on my mind and I think this man deserves a big round of applause for making sure the health care plan is followed by all, including those in the Senate and Congress!!!
