Halloween Decor . . .

Here is our Halloween decorations . . . Erin, you'll have to school me on what to adjust to make these work!!  Didn't use any flash and waited till the sun was low, but not completely dark before attempting to take these . . . candles are burning in each . . . had to break out the tripod to get some of them to work at all!

The Ayes have it . . . shutdown government . . .

There have been calls to Washington DC for veterans, and supporters of smaller government . . . T2SDA, the truckers march on DC is going on, all to contend with Obama's Hissy Fit.  Today I went to DC to show some support . .  entered the capital and sat in the house gallery for a time . .. 

 Not much evidence of a shutdown government . . . here is the library of congress . . . fountains in full show . . .

I was looking at the top of the cornice on the House side of the capital building . . . that sure looks like George Washington up there

 The house was in session . . . the republicans were bringing up bills, the Democrats were whining about the shutdown . . . if they would simply negotiate there wouldn't be a shutdown.  The republicans have looked for any and all possibilities of comprimise and the democrats have rejected everything . . . I hope the republicans stand strong and solid in this endeavor!

And here we are on the west side . . .

Glen Beck and some of the Tea Party politicians called folks together to clean up the mall . . . bypass Obama and his hystrionics and get things done . . .as you can see some folks showed up, even though it was a less than wonderful day!  Misty rain and cool . . . but I was feelling the humidty as well . . . figure that out!

 Here is looking down the mall . . . where Obummer has had the gall to Barrycade the monuments . . . check the news, those Barrycades were pushed aside and the forest service folks didn't attempt to stop it, they understand their enemy is not the people . . .

Some of the politicos at the rally . . .

 and Glen Beck . . .

Wish I could have stayed longer . . . and/or done more . . . but had to move on . . . 

Wish the lies would be held accountable . . . the democrats defunded Carter's fence project long before the Republicans have attempted to defund Obummercare . . . you don't hear about that, only screaming from them about how much of an atrocity this is . . .

Why would anyone think the federal government should have any say in your personal medical decisions?

There has been NO republican support for this from its inception . . . why do they think this is surprising?  it is what they (the democrats) have pushed the republicans into . . .
