We are on the verge of what would be the largest land grab in America's history. The Senate has the pending Clean Water and Restoration Act that would control every kind of water, right down to seasonal run off and puddles on private property. According to Fox News up to "40 percent of all land in the United States is already under some form of government control or ownership--800 million to 900 million acres out of Americans total 2.2 billion acres." The bill has passed out of committee and is not yet up for a vote but could be added to other legislation as an amendment. Read More

More early election year data show increasing vigilance on part of voters:
Florida Governor, Charlie Crist’s is being seen as a populist, attempting to shift positions in order to obtain greater favor from voters. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34311814/ns/politics-more_politics/
Whether or not this is true (and really, I’m not sure MSNBC has got it right, given their track record)……Gov. Crist is in trouble in his primary bid for the Senate. His republican primary opponent, Marco Rubio is pulling ahead in favorability rating polls.

We moms are going to start awarding *Brownies* when we see one of our government representative abiding by the Constitution and looking out for American citizens and taxpayers.
*Brownies* for Senator Inhofe, who called the global warming movement a 'hoax' and 'cooked science,' stating he will go to Copenhagen to warn world leaders that the US Senate will not ratify any promises President Obama may make during Copenhagen treaty negotiations.
Our legislators just keep getting more expensive! US Congressional legislators expenses for taxpayer-funded travel abroad have increased 70% since 2005, to $13 million in 2008.
