METRO, OTELLO'S & THE NEWSEUM

PERSONAL

I awoke this morning at 5:15am to a 3 and a beautiful morning. I took my am pills, put my flag out and settled into my Lazy Boy for 2 quick massages. My Business Card design was completed yesterday I'm looking forward to them. I have tuned into my regular fodder TV stations and will be reporting in the appropriate sections.

I have finally got onto face book but am now trying to organize my “friends”. I have sent out new notices and I imagine those that have been getting them are as confused as I.

I have at least 2 more graduates to celebrate. Nephew (and Godson) Michael from Evergreen High School, and my good friend Donna's son, Jusef Ali Word is graduating from the University of Puget Sound. I think he is graduating as the 2009 class president. I am not sure what he plans for his future, but I am sure he will be successful at whatever road he takes. I would advise Senator Murray, Senator Cantwell, and Congressman Baird to take notice.

POLITICAL

My first check on C-span showed a full committee debating the “cap & trades” proposals yesterday. It was a full house and much debate. I don't remember this intense a debate before going or continuing the war. The Presidents' announcement on the new CAFE standards has received much debate.
CNBC is reporting the DOW is up over 90 points, and OIL & GAS are also up, getting ready for the post memorial Day driving season. CNBC is also reporting on Geithner is testifying before Congress and the Dow is down slightly from my earlier report and OIL & GAS are still climbing.

SPORTS

The Mariners are definitely home, I did not see a Mariners game last night but I did see some of the Cubs at the Cardinals.

The Beavers Beavers game I reported on yesterday was a repeat.

That fund raiser for Jamie Moyers children's charitable Foundation with Cal Ripken should be an awesome event if you can make it.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS

NWOLC's Labor Appreciation is coming up, I hope you all have your tickets! We got ours, now all I have to do is schedule a nap.

The Helena AOH is still raising funds for their to-do, The Meagher Memorial at Fort Benton Montana. Donations can be sent to The Meagher Memorial at PO Box 1916; Helena Montana 59624. With the many Irish followers I have, maybe I can give them some aid. I'll be sending them a check today, thanks to the spirits on the Mountain.

Brandee's race was apparently successful, but wet, and I'm sure she is still looking for help.

Please make a QUICK phone call today (it takes under a minute!), then forward this to all your friends.

1.You can call Senator Specter's office toll-free at (888) 890-4648.
 
2.One of Specter's interns will probably answer. Tell him or her you're calling to ask Senator Specter to vote YES on the Employee Free Choice Act. Most calls end right there, but you can add:

The Employee Free Choice Act is crucial to working families.
I'm disappointed in the Senator's reversal on this issue and hope he'll do the right thing after co-sponsoring the bill in 2005.
The recession has hit middle-class families the hardest, and this bill is a critical piece of our economic recovery.

I will be adding a link for Denise and the Epilepsy walk/run as soon as I get the information.

OTHER STUFF AND COMMUNICATIONS

I hope everyone can share the American Rights at work website so my small donations can be utilized to there fullest extent. They are still doing the Lords work.

Please, You can share the American Rights, the MS walk, the March of Dimes walk and the recovery websites; so my taxes and donations can be utilized to their fullest extent.

Whether you attend a church service, a Mosque, G & L gathering, or Synagogue service, please say a
prayer that God; yours, mine or ours; keeps our service men and women in the Palm of their hand.

And maybe even a special prayer for my nephews Daniel, Christopher and Ryan and all their families.

Mike; I'm just over 800 and I'm feeling 4.

Now don't forget, say your prayers, and I'll see you next time on my blog.
