WONDERFULL UNION MEETING LAST NIGHT

2012-02-18T15:27:00.002-08:00

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I slept real late this morning til 10am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 2+, I then took my am pills. I awoke to a 2+ because I did make the Union Meeting last night, and it was packed, 300+ members I think. Thank You Brother Bob Porter for allowing me to participate in the opening ritual. It was a great meeting and I thought Al did a great job with his presentation on what to do with the April raise, and President Porter ran a very controlled meeting, but I wish I would have had a minute to talk with Brother Buddy N. because he did mention his wife Judy was hospitalized and I really wish I had found out more. Please add her to your prayers. I did find out that a lot of the members were very upset with Senator Wyden and Congressman Blumenhauer over their stances on “free trade” and the President's signing of a new bill that seemed to fly in the face of his “E.F.C.A.” stance? I still need to see if there is a hobby store around here to find a “Shadow Box” because Mike J. didn't make the retiree meeting and I forgot to ask him about it last night. I did get up to Gloria'z and delivered Dean a M.S. Packet, and Toni took one also; although neither She or Mike will be attending the “Walk”. I also left a M.S. Packet at the front desk at the Hall with Charise. I also received an email from Brother/Uncle, Hank Burgess and he had actually reviewed my Mehrens/Monahan blog, and was quite impressed and reiterated that it was the Wallace side of the family that was from Tuam.
I am really looking forward to our A.O.H. Meeting Tuesday, I just hope the weather cooperates. I did put the “WALLY'S WALKERS” link on my Mehrens/Monahan blog also.
I also forgot to remember to let everyone know about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon, Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

FOR THE AUNT DORIS MONAHAN AND AND THE MCGUIGAN FAMIES !

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles, brother Buddy Nissing's wife Judy and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the families of aunt Doris Monahan, and Leo McGuigan, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY IS 134/80/67 at 2:30pm. My appointment with my neurologist went well and he is changing some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working. Based on what I learned at the N.W.O.L.C. E-bd I may be taking out my Kaiser Unfair picket sign.

POLITICAL:

I DID HEAR SOME DISTURBING NEWS ABOUT A BILL PRESIDENT OBAMA SIGNED THAT SOME ARE CALLING ANTI-UNION, BUT UNTIL I GET CONFIRMATION....

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA; THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT, AND THE END OF THE WAR IN IRAQ ? BUT WE STILL NEEED THOSE KEYSTONE PIPELINE JOBS, BUT IT APPEARS THE REPUBLICANS STOPPED HIM FROM BEING ABLE TO GET THAT DONE BY PUTTING AN UNREALISTIC TIME FRAME ON HIM TO “GET ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES RESOLVED”, BUT I DO BELIEVE IT WILL BE REVISITED IN HIS SECOND TERM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPUBLICAN'S APPEAR TO BE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO INSURE HIS RE-ELECTION.

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

The time will come when Sherrod is going to call me and ask if we have the resources to respond to an attack.
And if my answer has to be “no,” it’ll be too late.
That’s why meeting our goals now is so important – and why I hope you’ll click here, while we still have time, to help us get to $120,000 by February 29th.
I know it’s a little grim to think about, but that’s the worst-case scenario. And by acting now you can make the difference.
Please click here to contribute now. At this very moment D.C. special interests are up with $600,000 in attack ads against Sherrod and have spent more than $3 million to date. It’s starting to pile up.

HERE IS A PROGRAM THAT IS ALSO LOOKING FOR HELP ! I AM STARTING TO RUN SHORT OF YELLOW RIBBON !!

http://www.lbeh.org/

Don't forget to say THANK YOU, to all those servicemen and women who have served or are serving.

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER IS BACK ON BASE; BUT NOW WE HAVE COUSIN AMY PAHUT TO WORRY ABOUT) THE PRESIDENT DID SAY THE WAR IN IRAQ IS OVER. But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

I DID MOVE MY AOH REPORT OVER TO THE MONAHAN/MEHRENS BLOG, MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT.

SPORTS:

I AM STILL GOING TO TRY TO CATCH UP WITH MICHAEL ROSS TO SEE WHEN/IF HIS SPRING BASEBALL STARTS.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:

THIS IS WHAT I SENT TO LYNN AT THE JOINT COUNCIL.

HERE IS THE DIRECT LINK FOR THE M.S. WALK IN APRIL FOR WALLY'S WALKERS.

http://walkorc.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=wlk_orc_homepage !

They need to choose Portland, then Join A Team (Wally's Walkers). There doesn't seem to be any way to get directly to our team page.

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President?, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION, I WONDER IF I WON THE BLANKET LAST NIGHT?

UNION REPORT:

THE UNION MEETING LAST NIGHT WAS FABULOUS, EXCELLENT JOB BY PRESIDENT PORTER AND AL, 300 +- MEMBERS.

IT IS THE POLITICAL SEASON SO I WOULD AGAIN ENCOURAGE ALL YOU POLITICO'S TO GET A UNION BUG ON YOUR “PRINTED MATERIAL”, I PREFER HOLLYWOOD IMPRESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE “ALWAY'S” MET MY NEEDS.

FAMILY REPORT:

I AM STILL TALLYING UP THE MEHRENS FAMILY NUMBERS IN THE U.A., I AM STILL MISSING STEVE AND STEVIE ARNOTT'S AND JASON JACQUES BUT WE ARE WELL OVER 3 CENTURIES SO FAR. :-)

IT STILL APPEARS I AM THE ONLY “FOLLOWER” ON MY MEHRENS/MONAHAN BLOG?

"NEW ERA FOR LOCAL BEGINS TONIGHT, SEE YOU AT THE MEETING"

2012-02-17T10:59:00.000-08:00

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at 7am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3, I then took my am pills. I HOPE TO MAKE THE LEO MCGUIGAN FUNERAL TOMORROW AT HOLY CROSS AT 10am; please add his family to your prayers. I did make it to the N.W.O.L.C. E-bd meeting Monday afternoon and THANK YOU all for your generosity for “Wally's Walkers”. But I did find out I may be needing to break out my Kaiser picket sign and swith between the “Banksters” and “Kaiser” because of their changing from a good union ambulance company to a N.U. one. I am not sure when I will post today as I need to get ready for my Union meeting tonight and I will be checking to see if there is a hobby store around here to find a “Shadow Box” because Mike J. didn't make the retiree meeting yesterday. I also found out yestrday that good friend Bruce Temple has had a bit of a set back and is back in the hospital preparing for another operation.:-(
I will also head up to “Glotia'z” to check if Toni and Mike will be joining us on the M.S. Walk, and between the Labor Council and Gloria'z I think I recruited 3 or 4 more “WALKERS”. I also received an email from Brother/Uncle, Hank Burgess and he had actually reviewed my Mehrens/Monahan blog, and was quite impressed and reiterated that it was the Wallace side of the family that was from Tuam.
I should post at a resonable time today and I did put the “WALLY'S WALKERS” link on my Mehrens/Monahan blog also.
I also hope to remember to let everyone know about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIECE BRENDA

2012-02-14T10:21:00.000-08:00

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at 7am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3, I then took my am pills. I DID FIND OUT WHAT TIME LEO MCGUIGAN'S FUNERAL IS ON SATURDAY THE 18TH AT HOLY CROSS, 10am; please add his family to your prayers. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIECE BRENDA ! I did make it to the N.W.O.L.C. E-bd meeting yesterday afternoon and thank you all for your generosity for “Wally's Walkers” I did have dinner at Gloria'z afterwords and saw Jim and Susie Judge and found out Susie's B.D. was FEBRUARY 12, and between the Labor Council and Gloria'z I think I recruited 3 or 4 more “WALKERS”. I did finish my 290 archives design, now all I have to do is remember to take it to the retiree meeting Thursday. I think I have cousin Billy convinced to go to the next AOH meeting, now I have to try to get cousin Jim back involved. I did get the Photo of AOH cousin/brother Bob's installation and I did place it on both of my blogs.
I should post at a resonable time today, because I am going to be sort of lazy today, after all it is Valentine's Day; and I am going to try to put the “WALLY'S WALKERS” link on my Mehrens/Monahan blog also.
I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY IS 125/80/57 at 9:30am. My appointment with my neurologist went well and he is changing some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working.

POLITICAL:

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA; THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT, AND THE END OF THE WAR IN IRAQ ? BUT WE STILL NEEED THOSE KEYSTONE PIPELINE JOBS, BUT IT APPEARS THE REPUBLICANS STOPPED HIM FROM BEING ABLE TO GET THAT DONE BY PUTTING AN UNREALISTIC TIME FRAME ON HIM TO “GET ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES RESOLVED”, BUT I DO BELIEVE IT WILL BE REVISITED IN HIS SECOND TERM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPUBLICAN'S APPEAR TO BE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO INSURE HIS RE-ELECTION.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

FOR THE AUNT DORIS MONAHAN AND AND THE MCGUIGAN FAMIES !

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the families of aunt Doris Monahan, and Leo McGuigan, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

2012-02-13T09:24:00.000-08:00

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at 7am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3-, I think maybe a touch of nauesa from my new pills; I then took my am pills. I STILL NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT TIME LEO MCGUIGAN'S FUNERAL IS ON SATURDAY THE 18TH AT HOLY CROSS, PLEASE ADD HIS FAMILY TO YOUR PRAYERS. TODAY IS DAD'S 90th BIRTHDAY, AND I HOPE HE, MOM, AND EVERYONE IS LOOKING DOWN ON ALL OF US WITH PRIDE. I am not sure when I will post because I have a number of errands today, and I think I am close to finishing my 290 archives design. I am also going to try to make the NWOLC BD meeting this afternoon, and put on my “SAD FACE” and pitch the M.S. WALK. I think I have cousin Billy convinced to go to the next AOH meeting, now I have to try to get cousin Jim back involved. I did get the Photo of AOH cousin/brother Bob's installation and I did place it on both of my blogs.

I did watch the Grammy's last night and the the tribute to my ALL TIME favorite love song singer “Whitney Houston” from one of my favorite movies, “The Body Guard”.

I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

POLITICAL:

I watched C-span and the (R's) are claiming that the Health Care Law passed violates the 1st Ammendment to the Constitution, because it violates the separation of Church and State; seems like a stretch to me but not unusual by those people. They keep calling it Obama Care and I think that will backfire on them because sooo many American's will now get health care and President Obama will be getting the credit.

I STILL NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT TIME LEO MCGUIGAN'S FUNERAL IS ON SATURDAY THE 18TH AT HOLY CROSS, PLEASE ADD HIS FAMILY TO YOUR PRAYERS. I have missed a few day's posting because I have been pretty busy. Friday was grand nephew Rhett's 18th Birthday and we went up to Stephanie's dads to celebrate Friday night and I did get over to Dr. Finley's to pick up my mineral supplements and the backyard birdhouse store and got some birdseed and then we went to chinese dinner last night after Eric came over and replaced the light bulb's in one of the fixtures in the garage and picked up a light bulb for my liscense plate on my Chrysler and then went to Chinese dinner with Peg and Eric. I have finished The Oregon Historical Society interview and now have to get to work on my “Shadow Box” for the Local's Archives. I think I have cousin Billy convinced to go to the next AOH meeting, now I have to try to get cousin Jim back involved. I did get the Photo of AOH cousin/brother Bob's installation and I did place it on both blogs. I also got an email from the M.S. Walk people and I did get a hold of them to get some envelopes.

WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk, I think we have somewhere around 20+ “Walker's” so far and please let me know if you are going to Walk as I need to get a head count; and the sizes needed for any new t-shirts to the Hall by mid March. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain.

FAMILY REPORT:

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I slept in this morning until 7am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3-, with the sniffles; I then took my am pills. I STILL NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT TIME LEO MCGUIGAN'S FUNERAL IS ON SATURDAY THE 18TH AT HOLY CROSS, PLEASE ADD HIS FAMILY TO YOUR PRAYERS. I did finish The Oregon Historical Society interview yesterday and I did get over to the Hall and I have a few errands to do today. I did get the Photo of AOH cousin/brother Bob's installation and I did place it on my my Mehrens/Monahan blog. I also got an email from the M.S. Walk people and I still need to get a hold of them to get some envelopes. I did re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk, and please let me know if you are going to Walk as I need to get a head count; and sizes heeded for any new t-shirts to the Hall by mid March. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY IS 132/80/56 at 9:45am. My appointment with my neurologist went well and he is changing some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working with the new prescription, even though I am not sure when I will be receiving them?

POLITICAL:

I watched C-span today and the (R's) are claiming that the Health Care Law passed violates the 1st Ammendment to the Constitution, because it violates the separation of Church and State; seems like a stretch to me but not unusual by those people.

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I slept in this morning until 9:45am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3-, because I had a late night last night with friends over to celebrate our anniversary and play some dice; that's why I missed posting yesterday. I did see on the Uniquely Anaconda face book page yesterday that it was also the 35th “anniversary” of Mick Jacques's accident. I then took my am pills at 10am. I STILL NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT TIME LEO MCGUIGAN'S FUNERAL IS ON SATURDAY THE 18TH AT HOLY CROSS, PLEASE ADD HIS FAMILY TO YOUR PRAYERS. I am not sure when I will be posting today as I do have a few errands to run, and Greg from The Oregon Historical Society is due to come by in about a half hour so I won't even start my errands until after we are done. I did get the Photo of AOH cousin/brother Bob's installation, and I hope to place it on my front page, and or my Mehrens/Monahan blog. I also got an email from the M.S. Walk people and I still need to get a hold of them to get some envelopes. I did re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”, but I still have to respond to their request.

COUSIN BROTHER/BOB WAS INSTALLED AS AOH PRESIDENT IN ANACONDA, BY MONTANA STATE PRESIDENT AOH BROTHER/COUSIN TOM PAHUT, and I did get another photo of his installation to take over to the photo shop.

This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !

http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie family) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog.

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER LEFT TO HEAD BACK TO BASE; BUT NOW WE HAVE COUSIN AMY PAHUT TO WORRY ABOUT) THE PRESIDENT DID SAY THE WAR IN IRAQ IS OVER. But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

AOH REPORT:

I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”, but I still have to respond to their request.

COUSIN BROTHER/BOB WAS INSTALLED AS AOH PRESIDENT IN ANACONDA, BY MONTANA STATE PRESIDENT AOH BROTHER/COUSIN TOM PAHUT, and I did get another photo of his installation to take over to the photo shop.

This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie family) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog. Brother Marcraft and Brother Duffy, get ready for your surprise!

I AM STILL GOING TO TRY TO CATCH UP WITH MICHAEL ROSS TO SEE WHEN/IF HIS SPRING BASEBALL STARTS.

I DID GET THE DIRECT LINK UP FOR THE M.S. WALK IN APRIL FOR WALLY'S WALKERS. It is posted on Facebook that it's time to start thinking about the M.S. walk.

http://walkorc.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=wlk_orc_homepage !

They need to choose Portland, then Join A Team (Wally's Walkers). There doesn't seem to be any way to get directly to our team page.

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at about 7:45am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3 and took my am pills, even without the geese. I did email (I hope) that picture Judi took to Cory Devine, the “author”, I still haven't heard if she got it yet? I STILL NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT TIME LEO MCGUIGAN'S FUNERAL IS ON SATURDAY THE 18TH AT HOLY CROSS, PLEASE ADD HIS FAMILY TO YOUR PRAYERS. I am still working on changing the whole blog and I did add a new section, FAMILY”. I did get by the photo shop and I couldn't get cousin Bob's picture off my phone but I did get the other family pictures copied for my shadow box. Judi and I did make it to dinner last night with Mike and Mary B. to celebrate our anniversary. I am not sure when I will post, after all IT IS SUPERBOWL SUNDAY. I also got an email from the M.S. Walk people wanting to know if I would like to walk or be a “Walk Captain”, I think Judi would be ticked after all the work she has done to get “Wally's Walkers” going, but I do need to get a hold of them to get some envelopes. I did re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE RECALL EFFORT'S IN WISCONSIN HAVE TURNED IN OVER A MILLION SIGNATURES, AND I JUST WATCHED A GREAT UTUBE VIDEO THAT WAS POSTED ON THE OUR 290 FACE BOOK PAGE, IT WASN'T THE WEAVERS; BUT YOU COULD CONSIDER IT AN UPDATED VERSION OF “SOLIDARITY FOREEVER” . I'M THINKING AN EFFORT IN ARIZONA AND OHIO COULD HAVE THE SAME SUCCESS :-).

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA; THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT, AND THE END OF THE WAR IN IRAQ ? BUT WE STILL NEEED THOSE KEYSTONE PIPELINE JOBS, BUT IT APPEARS THE REPUBLICANS STOPPED HIM FROM BEING ABLE TO GET THAT DONE BY PUTTING AN UNREALISTIC TIME FRAME ON HIM TO “GET ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES RESOLVED”, BUT I DO BELIEVE IT WILL BE REVISITED IN HIS SECOND TERM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPUBLICAN'S APPEAR TO BE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO INSURE HIS RE-ELECTION.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA; THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT, AND THE END OF THE WAR IN IRAQ ? BUT WE STILL NEEED THOSE KEYSTONE PIPELINE JOBS, BUT IT APPEARS THE REPUBLICANS STOPPED HIM FROM BEING ABLE TO GET THAT DONE THIS TERM BY PUTTING AN UNREALISTIC TIME FRAME ON HIM TO “GET ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES RESOLVED” . I REALLY WONDER IF THEY REALIZE EACH STUPID ACTION THEY TAKE HELPS ENSURE HIS REELECTION.

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

FOR AUNT DORIS AND AND THE MCGUIGAN FAMIES !

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the families of aunt Doris Monahan, and Leo McGuigan, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

I awoke this morning at about 7:45am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3 and took my am pills. If you have paying attention you will note that I generally wake up between 7 & 8am, that's because about that same time every morning a large & loud flog of geese make their way from the south to the north; and that seems to be as good as my alarm. I don't have to get to Kaiser as Dr. Zarelli ordered my pills with the mail order system. I did get over to see niece Stephanie at her cricket shop for a lesson on my new phone and she did teach me how to send them on the phone and to my computer. I did email (I hope) that picture Judi took to Cory Devine, the “author”, I haven't heard if she got it yet? I STILL NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT TIME LEO MCGUIGAN'S FUNERAL IS ON SATURDAY THE 18TH AT HOLY CROSS, PLEASE ADD HIS FAMILY TO YOUR PRAYERS. I am still working on changing the whole blog and I did add a new section, FAMILY”. I did picket my B. of A bank yesterday for only an hour yesterday because it was a sunny day yesterday, but that wind cut me right to the bone. I still need get by the photo shop and see if they can get cousin Bob's picture off my phone and I am going to take that family picture from my retirement party and see if I can get that Labor press picture of Dad and 1 for the “Shadow Box” Mike J. is making for me. I am so far behind on my Mehrens-Monahan blog but I'm still hoping I can get to that today. I also got an email from the M.S.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie family) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at about 6am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3- and took my am pills. I am still working on my “blog” preview, it appears I am using 2 different “Office Document Writers”, and they work definitely different, so the screw-ups are Bill Gates fault, not mine. ;-( I am not sure when I will post, as I have much to do. I still have to get my “Wally's Walker's” link to Lynn at the Teamsters. Judi did find a frame and did trim the photo to fit the frame. I did get out to picket my B. of A. branch for about an hour. Judi just left for Salem for the AARP Lobby day and I am going to try to get over to the Hall this morning to get some banking done. Judi did get a picture of me here at my work station with Heidi's awesome Irish quilt that I hope I can get sent to the AOH National for their membership album, I hope I'm not to late. I am also hoping to get to Kaiser and pick up my new prescription, ordered by Dr. Zarelli and even over to see niece Stephanie at her cricket shop for a lesson on my new phone. I did email (I hope) that picture Judi took to Cory Devine, the “author”, she has been gone for a while showing her father a little of Oregon. I DID LEARN YESTERDAY THAT, WE LOST OLD FAMILY FRIEND LEO MCGUIGAN, PLEASE ADD HIS FAMILY TO YOUR PRAYERS. I am still working on changing the whole blog and I did add a new section, FAMILY”. I did picket my B. of A bank yesterday for about an hour yesterday because it was a nice day yesterday. I am going to try to get by the photo shop and see if they can get cousin Bob's picture off my phone and I am going to take that family picture from my retirement party and see if I can get that Labor press picture of Dad and I for the “Shadow Box” Mike J. is making for me. I still need to catch up on my Mehrens-Monahan blog and I hope I can get to that today. I watched President Obama address a croud in Virginia talking about their new program on home owner “Mortgage Assistance” program, many there like me. I did re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk; I am also going to contact them to get some donation envelopes, Lynn, from the Joint Council of Teamsters did ask me to send him the link and they would help. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY IS 133/76/56 at 9am. My appointment with my neurologist went well and he is changing some of my medications and he scheduled a new appointment for March 22nd to see how the new regimen is working with the new prescription.

TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO REPEAT. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE RECALL EFFORT'S IN WISCONSIN HAVE TURNED IN OVER A MILLION SIGNATURES, AND I JUST WATCHED A GREAT UTUBE VIDEO THAT WAS POSTED ON THE OUR 290 FACE BOOK PAGE, IT WASN'T THE WEAVERS; BUT YOU COULD CONSIDER IT AN UPDATED VERSION OF “SOLIDARITY FOREEVER” . I'M THINKING AN EFFORT IN ARIZONA AND OHIO COULD HAVE THE SAME SUCCESS :-).

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA; THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT, AND THE END OF THE WAR IN IRAQ ? BUT WE STILL NEEED THOSE KEYSTONE PIPELINE JOBS, BUT IT APPEARS THE REPUBLICANS STOPPED HIM FROM BEING ABLE TO GET THAT DONE BY PUTTING AN UNREALISTIC TIME FRAME ON HIM TO “GET ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES RESOLVED”, BUT I DO BELIEVE IT WILL BE REVISITED IN HIS SECOND TERM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPUBLICAN'S APPEAR TO BE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO INSURE HIS RE-ELECTION.

(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

FOR THE MCGUIGAN AND AUNT DORIS'S FAMILIES !

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the families of aunt Doris Monahan, and Leo McGuigan, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join, and I hope to be bringing a member candidate.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at about 7:45am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3 and took my am pills. I did get to the photo store yesterday and went to the Town Center, looking for a frame and to see a movie. No luck on the frame, but saw a really good, although very dark; movie; “The Girl with the dragon tatoo”. I am posting late, and Judi just got home from her trip with Sue Temple to Long Beach and Sue did get her “chores” done but I'm sure Bruce is glad she's back. I am still working on changing the whole blog and I did add a new section, FAMILY”. I didn't picket the banks out here even though it was a nice day today. I got 2 more copies of out 2011 convention family photo, but I now have to hunt for an eight by twelve frame. The photo shop guy did tell me they could make a copy of cousin Bob's picture if I emailed it to them. I still need to catch up on my Mehrens-Monahan blog and I hope I can get that picture that cousin Bob sent me on his installation as Anaconda AOH President. I did re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk; I am also going to contact them to get some donation envelopes. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

NO B.P. TODAY, I have to make a list of all the medications for my appointment with my neurologist Tommorrow; I watched that news report on the effect's that Coconut oil has on a number of issues that I hope to remember to ask him about.

POLITICAL:

CHRIS MATHEWS JUST SAID, ON MASNBC, "NEWT, IS THE FREDDY KRUGER OF THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES"

I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE RECALL EFFORT'S IN WISCONSIN HAVE TURNED IN OVER A MILLION SIGNATURES, AND I JUST WATCHED A GREAT UTUBE VIDEO THAT WAS POSTED ON THE OUR 290 FACE BOOK PAGE, IT WASN'T THE WEAVERS; BUT YOU COULD CONSIDER IT AN UPDATED VERSION OF “SOLIDARITY FOREEVER” . I'M THINKING AN EFFORT IN ARIZONA AND OHIO COULD HAVE THE SAME SUCCESS :-).

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA; THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT, AND THE END OF THE WAR IN IRAQ ? BUT WE STILL NEEED THOSE KEYSTONE PIPELINE JOBS, BUT IT APPEARS THE REPUBLICANS STOPPED HIM FROM BEING ABLE TO GET THAT DONE BY PUTTING AN UNREALISTIC TIME FRAME ON HIM TO “GET ALL THE SAFETY ISSUES RESOLVED”, BUT I DO BELIEVE IT WILL BE REVISITED IN HIS SECOND TERM, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE REPUBLICAN'S APPEAR TO BE DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO INSURE HIS RE-ELECTION.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

FOR AUNT DORIS AND FAMILY !

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, the family of aunt Doris Monahan, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

http://www.lbeh.org/

Don't forget to say THANK YOU, to all those servicemen and women who have served or are serving.

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER LEFT TO HEAD BACK TO BASE; BUT NOW WE HAVE COUSIN AMY PAHUT TO WORRY ABOUT) THE PRESIDENT DID SAY THE WAR IN IRAQ IS OVER. But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

AOH REPORT:

I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”, but I still have to respond to their request.

COUSIN BROTHER/BOB WAS INSTALLED AS AOH PRESIDENT IN ANACONDA, BY MONTANA STATE PRESIDENT AOH BROTHER/COUSIN TOM PAHUT.

This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !

http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie family) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog. Brother Marcraft and Brother Duffy, get ready for your surprise!

SPORTS:

FOOTBALL – GO PATRIOTS, SUPER BOWL BOUND:-).

MY PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL REPORT IS BACK AND THE BLAZERS HAVE LOOKED PRETTY GOOD SO FAR AT TIMES, I SURE HOPE THEIR GAME TONIGHT KEEPS THEIR HOME RECORD AT THE TOP OF THE PACK.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:

I DID GET THE DIRECT LINK UP FOR THE M.S. WALK IN APRIL FOR WALLY'S WALKERS. It is posted on Facebook that it's time to start thinking about the M.S. walk.

http://walkorc.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=wlk_orc_homepage !

They need to choose Portland, then Join A Team (Wally's Walkers). There doesn't seem to be any way to get directly to our team page.

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION.

UNION REPORT:

THE REPORT IS THAT THE LONGSHORE HAS RESOLVED THEIR ISSUE WITH THAT RAT COMPANY IN LONGVIEW, STILL RATS IN GLADSTONE THOUGH.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at about 7:45am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3 and took my am pills. It is above 20 degree's, no fog just wet. The weatherman says the rain is supposed to be light until this afternoon, so I will see if the “photo” store is open this morning (I hope), to get a copy and frame for our family picture from the 2011 U.A. Convention, so I'm not sure when I'll post. I am still working on changing the whole blog and I did add a new section, FAMILY”. I didn't picket the banks out here even though it was a nice day. I still need to catch up on my Mehrens-Monahan blog and I hope I can get that picture that cousin Bob sent me on his installation as Anaconda AOH President, Judi said she would help with that, but she rode with Sue Temple up to Long Beach; so I did get to visit with Bruce when I took her over to daughter Monica's. I did re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk; I am also going to contact them to get some donation envelopes. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

I awoke this morning at about 7:45am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3 and took my am pills. It is above 20 degree's, not as foggy as yesterday; but a little coat of frost on everything outside. The weatherman says the fog should burn off again today and it is supposed to get sunny later. I am still working on changing the whole blog and I will add a NEW FAMILY SECTION, hopefully. I wasn't too busy yesterday to picket the banks out here because the local Chase was robbed Thursday. I am going to review records and make my own Political endorsement list as the special session starts shortly. I still need to catch up on my Mehrens-Monahan blog and I hope I can get that picture that cousin Bob sent me on his installation as Anaconda AOH President, Judi said she would help with that. I did update my face book friend list as I have a number of “friends” listed multiple times and some that are dead, I now need to update my e-mail list. I did re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk; I am also going to contact them to get some donation envelopes. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain.

We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie family) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog. Brother Marcraft and Brother Duffy, get ready for your surprise!

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

IT IS THE POLITICAL SEASON SO I WOULD AGAIN ENCOURAGE ALL YOU POLITICO'S TO GET A UNION BUG ON YOUR “PRINTED MATERIAL”, I PREFER HOLLYWOOD IMPRESS BECAUSE THEY HAVE “ALWAY'S” MET MY NEEDS, BY THE WAY, ARE THOSE “RAT PATROL” BUTTONS STILL IN THE DISPATCH OFFICE?

FAMILY REPORT:

I had a great conversation on face book yesterday with Carol Marie Pahut/Lovell and she did say she did get her copy of “From Belmullet to Anaconda” and was looking for information on Franny and Doris's address, I referred her to the Mehrens-Monahan keeper of stuff, Cousin Dan and BOBBIE, MY BLOG IS 6 PAGES AND 2,300+- WORDS.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at about 7am and after 9+ hours of sleep I awoke to a 3 and took my am pills. It is just above 20 degree's, foggy and a large coat of frost on everything outside. The weatherman says the fog should burn off and it is supposed to get sunny later. I am not sure if it is going to work but I plan on changing the whole blog today. I am hoping by changing to a new office writer, the program won't be so helpful. :-( I didn't make that “VERY IMPORTANT” meeting last night at Mount Hood Community College, over that Power House Proposal at the old Aluminum Plant, or even get a notice out to my political Unions email list; My Bad. Judi did get back yesterday afternoon and we went to dinner with Peg and Eric at Gloria'z for a great Prime Rib dinner. I was busy yesterday so I didn't picket the banks out here, which was a good thing because the local Chase was robbed in the afternoon, by a guy on a bicycle; a 99%er that couldn't afford a car maybe. I am going to review records and make my own Political endorsement list. I was relatively lucky getting my “keno” tally back in the black :-). I have scheduled the Oregon Historical Society intern for February 2nd because we are going to need one more session to redo half of one of the tapes, that was erased while being reviewed by “the boss”. :-( I still need to catch up on my Mehrens-Monahan blog and I hope I can get that picture that cousin Bob sent me on his installation as Anaconda AOH President. Judi said she would help with that and updating my face book friend list as I have a number of “friends” listed multiple times and some that are dead, I am sure my changes will continue to be taking much time the next few day's. I did re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join in the Walk; I am also going to contact them to get some donation envelopes. I also want to remind everyone about Brother Don Getman and the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call.

(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the brother Ed Carter, the Ridderbush and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

I was really busy yesterday so I missed posting, busy picketing my local bank and went over to Goria'z for lunch and talked to Judi who's trip had been going well and was relatively lucky getting my “keno” tally back in the black :-). I am watching the U.S. Senate Budget committee on C-span and they are meeting over the Housing Crisis and my Senators, Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden ( D's) have been doing great and Senator Sessions ( R ) Alabama is using his time blaming President Obama for “not addressing the deficit” in his State of the Union speech, I watched the State of the Union also; and he must have slept through it. I also heard from the Oregon Historical Society that we are going to need one more session to re-do half of one of the tapes, that was erased while being reviewed by “the boss”.:-(

My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, the AFL-CIO rally downtown; and their local branches up here in Clackamas, The rape of the American Taxpayer continues and I did get an email from the President's office asking if I had anything I thought he should address in his State of the Union; I sent them “ALL OF MY SIGN”.

We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie family) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog.

I will be trying to catch up on my Mehrens-Monahan blog and I am sure my changes will be taking much time the next few day's. I did re-check the M.S.

H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the brother Ed Carter, the Ridderbush and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at about 7:45am and after 9+- hours of sleep I awoke to a 3 and took my am pills. I didn't post yesterday because I went to my retiree meeting in the morning and took brother Mike to Lunch. I should post early today because I will be heading to the Union meeting tonight because the new officers will be sworn in tonight and Brother Mike will be making his last dispatcher report, as Al told him his last day in the office would be today. I did get a call last night from cousin Bill, after he and Al visited the trust office and he is going to stop by over the weekend with a CD they gave him about the various 290 trust's. I will re-check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and I'm pretty sure it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join. I did manage to get Greg (Historical Society Intern) to join us on at the M.S. Walk. I will repeat that one BIG announcement, Billy's daughter is getting married in August; so he has MUCH to celebrate. I'm Sorry about missing yesterday but it was a VERY busy day. I have been watching for any Media news reports on the 99% demonstration yesterday but I haven't seen anything yet, I guess I'll check the Local news web sites after I post to see if they have anything. I also got a phone call from Brother Don Getman, to check and see if I could make the annual M.D. Poker fundraiser; April 1st up by the inn at the mountain. He did ask that I get the word out and invite any that might be interested. If you are interested and can make it give either Don or me a call. I also recieved an email from cousin Bob (Jack's son),and he is being installed as President of the Anaconda AOH tomorrow. This is a BIG weekend for the Mehrens family.

My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, the AFL-CIO rally downtown; and their local branches.

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

AOH REPORT:

CONGRATULATIONS COUSIN BOB ON YOUR NEW POSITION AS PRESIDENT OF THE ANACONDA AOH !

I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”, but I still have to respond to their request.

OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT NW 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR, AND OUR MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT WAS CANCELLED, DUE TO THE BAD WEATHER BUT, I STILL HAVE A SURPRISE FOR BROTHERS DUFFY AND MARCRAFT!

This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !

http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog. Brother Marcraft and Brother Duffy, get ready for your surprise!

They need to choose Portland, then Join A Team (Wally's Walkers). There doesn't seem to be any way to get directly to our team page.

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at about 7:45am and after 9+- hours of sleep I awoke to a 3 and took my am pills. I awoke to a 3 because we went to dinner last night with Peg, Eric, Shelly and Gary and didn't get to bed until after 10pm. I did not get any picketing in for the last few day's because of the cold and snow. The A.O.H. Meeting last night was canceled, due to weather. I did check the M.S. WALK link here on the front page and it does work so you can donate directly to “WALLY'S WALKER'S”, and you can donate directly to the team or any team member you might desire, or even join. The Oregon Historical Society intern Greg was back today for our “final” interview. I did manage to get him to commit to joining us on at the M.S. Walk. I did speak with brother Jeff Lyles today and he is recovering nicely and gets to take his brace of for a little while each day. I will post late and without much new to report, sorry, and today's will be mostly repetitive again. I will repeat that one BIG announcement, Billy's daughter is getting married in August; so he has MUCH to celebrate. I did tell Greg about Cory, and the interview for her (Precarious Egg), and the book she is working on is currently being called “Portland Portraits”, An oral history of non-native Portlander's, and while I am no longer a “Portlander” she believes my life has been sort of interesting :-). Sorry about missing yesterday, because I really did want to wish F.L.O.T.U.S. A Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday Michelle Obama.

My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, the AFL-CIO rally downtown; and their local branches, and they are planning a 99% demonstration Tomorrow at 10am.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY WAS 126/75/58 AT 9:45am.

WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the brother Ed Carter, the Ridderbush and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER LEFT TO HEAD BACK TO BASE; BUT NOW WE HAVE COUSIN AMY PAHUT TO WORRY ABOUT) THE PRESIDENT DID SAY THE WAR IN IRAQ IS OVER. But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

AOH REPORT:

I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”, but I still have to respond to their request.

OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT NW 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR, AND OUR NEXT MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW NIGHT AND MAN, DO I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR BROTHERS DUFFY AND MARCRAFT !!

This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !

http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog. Brothers Marcraft and Brother Duffy, get ready for your surprise!

SPORTS:

FOOTBALL – GO SEAHAWKS, GO STEELERS,

MY PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL REPORT IS BACK AND THE BLAZERS HAVE LOOKED PRETTY GOOD SO FAR, I TAPED THE GAME TODAY SO I DON'T KNOW THE ENDING YET; MAYBE AFTER I POST? I SURE HOPE THEY STILL LEAD THEIR DIVISION.

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:

I DID GET THE DIRECT LINK UP FOR THE M.S. WALK IN APRIL FOR WALLY'S WALKERS. It is posted on Facebook that it's time to start thinking about the ms walk.

http://walkorc.nationalmssociety.org/site/PageServer?pagename=wlk_orc_homepage !

They need to choose Portland, then Join A Team (Wally's Walkers). There doesn't seem to be any way to get directly to our team page.

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at about 7am and after 10+- hours of sleep and awoke to a 3+. I took my am pills, and then a nap until 9:45am. Judi and Peg went to an AARP meeting this morning at 9am I awoke to a 3+ because I did meet with new 290 Business Manager, Al Schropshire, for lunch over at Gloria'z yesterday and we had a good meeting and talk. I probably will not get any picketing in because it is way toooo cold, wet and windy. I told him about my short discussion with Willie after the C.P.B.T. E-board meeting and the L.E.R.C. breakfast with Commissioner Avakian in Wilsonville and the upcomming meeting with Washington governor candidate, Jay Inslee. Again, I don't know when I will be posting today as we have all kinds of sports to watch (the Oregon Ducks just won in Arizona) today and I am going to have to check my email and get the M.S. WALK website to put in here. The Oregon Historical Society intern Greg came by yesterday and he will be back wednesday for our “final” interview. I did manage to get him to commit to joining us on at the M.S. Walk. I will post without much new to report, sorry, and today's will be mostly repetitive again. I will repeat that one BIG announcement, Billy's daughter is getting married in August; so he has MUCH to celebrate. I also received another really nice email City of Portland Mayoral candidate, Eileen Brady, thanking me for responding to her last email even though I did tell her that, while she did do a good interview at the C.P.B.T., and was very proud of her Irish roots; I had to respond to her that I was no longer a Portland resident and I had already committed to Charlie Hales. I did tell Greg about Cory, and our interview and for her (Precarious Egg),and the book she is working on is currently being called “Portland Portraits”, an oral history of non-native Portlander's, and while I am no longer a “Portlander” she believes my life has been sort of interesting :-). We are being told that snow is on the way, so I probably will be home bound for a few day's and I am still making some (I think anyway) major changes and I will continue making BOLD stuff that is new AND that which I think is important on the blog, sorry about missing yesterday and I really hope we have no nasty snow disrupting my attempt to make the A.O.H. Meeting Tuesday.

My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, the AFL-CIO rally downtown; and their local branches.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY IS 123/74/66 AT 1:15pm.

WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the brother Ed Carter, The Jim Ridderbush and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER LEFT TO HEAD BACK TO BASE; BUT NOW WE HAVE COUSIN AMY PAHUT TO WORRY ABOUT) THE PRESIDENT DID SAY THE WAR IN IRAQ IS OVER. But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

AOH REPORT:

I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”, I still have to respond to their request.

OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT NW 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR, AND OUR NEXT MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY JANUARY 17TH, AND MAN, DO I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR BROTHER DUFFY AND MARCRAFT; NO SNOW PLEASE !!

This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I need to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog. Brother Marcraft and Brother Duffy, get ready for your surprise!

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

CONGRATULATIONS COUSIN BILLY AND HIS DAUGHTER KARA

2012-01-12T11:56:00.000-08:00

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I slept in this morning until 8:45am and after 12+- hours of sleep I awoke to a 3+ I took my am pills. I slept late and awoke to a 3+ because I did get a couple hours picketing in and then went up to Gloria'z for lunch and ran into a couple of friend's, Bill Hall from Bromley Masonry and a retired electrician, an old friend of IBEW 48 good friend's; Gerry Bruce and Luigi Serio. I will be posting without much new to report, and it may be hard to read today. I know I've been to busy to post the last couple day's but I have been really busy, and today's will be mostly repetitive. I am going to meet up with Al at 1pm so not many changes from here on out, except one BIG announcement, Billy's daughter is getting married in August; so he has MUCH to celebrate. I also saw Jimmy and Susie Judge over the weekend and I hope Al's campaign face book page is still up because he want's to send Al his congratulations. I did get an email from Greg, with the Oregon Historical Society to set up our next session for Friday the 13th. I also received a really nice email from Cory about our interview and signed a release for her (Precarious Egg), and the book she is working on is currently being called “Portland Portraits”, An oral history of non-native Portlander's, and while I am no longer a “Portlander” she believes my life has been sort of interesting :-). I am still making some (I think anyway) major changes and I will continue making BOLD stuff that is new AND that which I think is important on the blog.

My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, the AFL-CIO rally downtown; and their local branches, I am thinking today may be a nice enough day to picket today.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY IS 140/74/65 AT 11:45 am.

WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the brother Ed Carter and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

POLITICAL:

THE IOWA REPUBLICAN CAUCUS'S ARE OVER, AND WHILE MY “PICK” DIDN'T WIN; HE MADE A GOOD SHOWING, IT APPEARS HE IS RUNNING A GOOD SECOND SO FAR. I PICKED RON PAUL. I DIDN'T WARCH THE TALKING HEADS YESTERDAY, AS I WAS TOO BUSY.

IT SEEMED TO ME, THE MAIN CAMPAIGN SLOGAN WAS LIAR, LIAR, PANT'S ON FIRE!!

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

I am now starting The Chris Mathews book on John Kennedy, and started actually reading cousin Dan's book, “From Belmullet to Anaconda”; which I will be reporting on in my AOH Section.

"FROM BELMULLET TO ANACONDA"

2012-01-07T14:28:00.000-08:00

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I slept in this morning until 9am and after 7+- hours of sleep I awoke to a 5+ again, I took my am pills. I awoke to a 5+ because the election results were tallied and again CONGRATULATIONS TO AL, BILLY, BOB AND GIB, and All the elected 290 officers, and John E. that congratulations call I heard that you made to Al was FIRST CLASS. I did get an email from Greg, with the Oregon Historical Society to set up our next session for Friday the 13th. I also received a really nice email from Cory about our interview and signed a release for her (Precarious Egg), and the book she is working on is currently being called “Portland Portraits”, an oral history of non-native Portlanders, and while I am no longer a “Portlander” she believes my life has been sort of interesting :-). I am still making some (I think anyway) major changes and I will continue making BOLD stuff that is new AND that which I think is important on the blog.

My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, the AFL-CIO rally downtown; and their local branches.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY IS 120/74/61 AT 10:15 am.

WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the brother Ed Carter and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

I am now starting The Chris Mathews book on John Kennedy, and started actually reading cousin Dan's book, “From Belmullet to Anaconda”; which I will be reporting on in my AOH Section.

SENATOR MERKLEY THINK'S IT'S TIME FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT TO REVERESE THE SUPREME COURTS SELLING OF OUR DEMOCRACY, “CITIZENS UNITED” DECISION, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE !!

I HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO RESTART MY ZERO LIST, BEING MY FEW REPUBLICAN FRIENDS ARE ALSO ANGRY AT SOME OF THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AND WHILE I REMOVED MAYOR ADAMS FROM MY HERO LIST, I WILL NOT PUT HIM ON MY ZERO LIST.

I AM ALSO GOING TO ADD PORTLAND CITY COMMISSIONER AMANDA FRITZ, IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING MY BLOG YOU WILL KNOW WHY. IT IS ALSO PAST TIME TO PUT THAT PAUL RYAN “REPUBLICAN” budget PROPOSER.

MY PICKET SIGN, AND LEAFLET'S HAVE SURE BEEN WELL RECEIVED, AND I NOW MORE “i AM THE 99%” STICKERS.

THESE BANKSTERS ARE CHEATING US

IF YOU ARE ALSO A UNITED STATES TAXPAYER

THIS BANK, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS ARE CHEATING US

FOR BROTHER GIL: From someone who understands, and he's not even a Democrat !

Entitlement YOUR ass, I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because THEY "borrowed" the money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Congressional benefits: aka. "free" healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement “entitlements”; WITH THEM WORKING LESS THAN 9 MONTH'S OUT OF THE YEAR, MAYBE THAT'S WHY NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GETTING DONE?

GOOD LUCK MARTHA SCHRADER ON YOUR RUN FOR THE CLACKAMAS COUNTY COMMISSION. SHE CAN BE HELPED AT www.C-esys.com/marthaschrader/donationaspx ! I need to do that also.

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER LEFT TO HEAD BACK TO BASE; BUT NOW WE HAVE COUSIN AMY PAHUT TO WORRY ABOUT) THE PRESIDENT DID SAY THE WAR IN IRAQ IS OVER. But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

AOH REPORT:

I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”, I still have to respond to their request.

OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR, AND OUR NEXT MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY JANUARY 17TH, AND MAN, DO I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR BROTHER DUFFY AND MARCRAFT !!

This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !

http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog. And based on what I have read in cousin Dans Book, I will need to get a picture of him for my front page. Brother Marcraft and Brother Duffy, get ready for your surprise!

THE IOWA REPUBLICAN CAUCUS'S WERE YESTERDAY, AND WHILE MY “PICK” DIDN'T WIN; HE MADE A GOOD SHOWING. I PICKED RON PAUL.

IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN, WHY IS IT YOU CAN'T TAKE YES FOR AN ANSWER, I HAVE WATCHED THE HOUSE AND BONER WAS REFUSING TO ALLOW A HOUSE VOTE ON THE BI-PARTISAN SENATE BILL (passed with 89 votes)?

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA; THE EMPLOYEE FREE CHOICE ACT, AND THE END OF THE WAR IN IRAQ ? BUT WE NOW NEEED THOSE KEYSTONE PIPELINE JOBS.

November 17

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503
STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY
H. R. 3094 – Workplace Democracy and Fairness Act
(Rep. Kline, R–MN, and 37 cosponsors)

The Administration opposes H.R. 3094 because it would undermine and delay workers’ ability to exercise their right to choose whether or not to be represented by a union. H.R. 3094 also attacks the freedom of individuals to choose the co-workers with whom they wish to seek representation.

I finished Bob Woodwards book “OBAMA'S WARS”, but it did seem the President Eisenhower “Beware the Military Industrial Complex”, had him good.

SENATOR MERKLEY THINK'S IT'S TIME FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL AMMENDMENT TO REVERESE THE SUPREME COURTS SELLING OF OUR DEMOCRACY, “CITIZENS UNITED” DECISION, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE !!

I HAVE ALSO DECIDED TO RESTART MY ZERO LIST, BEING MY FEW REPUBLICAN FRIENDS ARE ALSO ANGRY AT SOME OF THEIR MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, AND WHILE I REMOVED MAYOR ADAMS FROM MY HERO LIST, I WILL NOT PUT HIM ON MY ZERO LIST. I DID PUT ALL THE BANKSTERS ON IT AS A GROUP, BECAUSE THEY ARE STEALING FROM ALL OF US TAXPAYERS. I AM ALSO GOING TO ADD PORTLAND CITY COMMISSIONER AMANDA FRITZ, IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING MY BLOG YOU WILL KNOW WHY. IT IS ALSO PAST TIME TO PUT THAT PAUL RYAN “REPUBLICAN” budget PROPOSER.

MY PICKET SIGN, AND LEAFLET'S HAVE SURE BEEN WELL RECEIVED, AND I NOW HAVE MORE “i AM THE 99%” STICKERS, MAYBE TODAY, DOWN THE STREET?

THESE BANKSTERS ARE CHEATING US

IF YOU ARE ALSO A UNITED STATES TAXPAYER

THIS BANK, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS ARE CHEATING US

THEY PROMISED TO HELP OUT US HOMEOWNERS

"free" healthcare, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days, now that's welfare, and they have the nerve to call my retirement “entitlements”; WITH THEM WORKING LESS THAN 9 MONTH'S OUT OF THE YEAR, MAYBE THAT'S WHY NOTHING SEEMS TO BE GETTING DONE?

NEPHEW RHYON IS BACK FROM AFGHANISTAN, AND NEPHEW CHRISTOPHER LEFT TO HEAD BACK TO BASE; BUT NOW WE HAVE COUSIN AMY PAHUT TO WORRY ABOUT) THE PRESIDENT DID SAY THE WAR IN IRAQ IS OVER. But a prayer a day from all my readers would still make me feel better.

LETS BRING THE REST HOME, NOW !!

Joining Forces: As part of the Obama Administration's commitment to America's military families, the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden launched their Joining Forces initiative, which will bring together all sectors of American society to lend a hand to military families, I have seen a few of their adds and they were very well done.

If you are flying the American Flag, please keep flying it until ALL our Troops return home, soon I hope as I am running out of yellow ribbon, and my flag is getting pretty faded.

At the 11th Hour, on the 11th Day, of the 11th Month a cease fire was signed to end the war to end all wars in 1918. How's that worked out so far ?

AOH REPORT:

I have ordered MY issue of the “History of the AOH in America”, I still have to respond to their request.

OUR LAST AOH MEETING WAS GREAT, AND WE HAD A GREAT DISCUSSION ON WHICH POLITICAL PARTY IN IRELAND WE MIGHT BELONG TO IF WE WERE RESIDENTS AND VOTERS. WE ALSO FOUND OUT GERALD IS OPENING ANOTHER KELL'S AT 21ST AND EVERETT, BUT I THINK IT WILL JUST BE BREW PUB AND SPORTS BAR, AND OUR NEXT MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY JANUARY 17TH.

This is my short report on the “Unite Ireland” issue. I am going to put the “Portland AOH” facebook page in here, and the wikipedia link to “Monahans, Texas”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monahans,_Texas !

http://www.facebook.com/people/Portland-Oregon-Aoh/100002392556842 !

I still think we need a few OREGONIANS on Father McManus's “Congressional Friends” list. We must never forget the Ballymurphy Massacre of 1971, (40 years searching for justice). We need to realize along with a number of Irish Catholic's, including a priest that were assassinated that day there were also a number of Northern Irish Protestants. This battle for justice that is being waged here in the U.S.A. by father McManus is also being waged in Belfast Northern Ireland by a heroic Belfast protestant named Raymond McCord Sr., whose son was also assassinated. I have received Father McManus's book and it was signed by our New Assistant G.P., and I now have a better understanding of commissioner Fritz's racist Animosity towards the Irish and apparently New Jersey has it's own racist. I did send Father McManus a check to join his efforts and he sent me a thank you and I am now a Congressional friend of Father McManus, and yes Holmie, I do have your letter to join.

I do have MY signed copy of from Belmullet to Anaconda and it is super cool, and based on what cousin Dan found out about the Monahan's, and what I was told about the Wallace's (Gramma Bossie) being from Tuam, north of Galway also Bab's and Mernie's kids and Mom and Dad's kids may share more gene's than we even thought, and I have begun to update my Mehrens/Monahan blog, and I am trying to find out the most popular male and female first and middle names!

SPORTS:

FOOTBALL – THE DUCKS WON THE ROSE BOWL AND SET A NUMBER OF ROSE BOWL RECORD'S, BUT NO SIGN OF SISTER DANNI AND NIECE HEIDI, BOBBIE LIKES HER BIRDHOUSE :-). GO SEAHAWKS, GO STEELERS.

MY PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL REPORT IS BACK AND THEY HAVE LOOKED PRETTY GOOD SO FAR. GREAT WIN LAST NIGHT !

COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS & CHARITIES:

The American Rights at Work still needs help; now more than ever. We must not take our eye off that MAIN issue, The President, and our two Senators haven't; E.F.C.A. And based on what I have been seeing and hearing, the Republicans have Organized Labor directly in their cross hairs at least for the next 2 years.

THE LOCAL 290 “DON SALEE” MEMBER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM; AND YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A DONATION THROUGH THE U.A. CREDIT UNION.

LOCAL UNION REPORT:

I did get my new supply of “Business Cards” from Hollywood Impress and I need to remember to start carrying them with me; here is the link for all you Politico's that are in need of a “BUG” on your STUFF. www.himpress.com I have used them for decades and they have ALWAYS met my needs, and I picked up 200“RAT PATROL” buttons, and they are at the Hall.

RON PAUL WINS IOWA CAUCUS ? ?

2012-01-03T16:08:00.000-08:00

PERSONAL & PROPAGANDA:

I awoke this morning at 8am and after 8+- hours of sleep I awoke to a 3-, I took my am pills. I did get up to Gloria'z and got Judi's bird house yesterday. I did speak with Paul Riggs at BPBT this morning and his election was today and he lost. Judi picked up Shelly and Gary, and Lyle and Gary did bond, so a late post again today. I am still making some (I think anyway) major changes beginning today with just making BOLD stuff that which is new on the blog.

My flier for the local branches of Wells Fargo, Chase and Citibank, have been very popular at the union, the AFL-CIO rally downtown; and their local branches.

KAISER – M.S. REPORT:

MY B.P. TODAY IS 111/53/65 AT 2:30 pm.

WHY IS IT WHEN YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH M.S. PEOPLE BELIEVE YOU HAVE NO MEMORY, AND CAN'T HEAR.

I will put the prayers I have been posting again right here up front, and thank you all for Rhyon and Christopher and now cousin Amy.

“Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time of need. Amen.”

Prayer to St. Jude for Eternal Life

You are my solace, St. Jude, in the face of loss and sorrow. I pray that you will guide my heart away from the darkness of fear and into the light of Christ. May the hope that St. Jude keeps alive in my heart be a source of comfort to all those who grieve. For in that hope, we know God's mercy, and we trust God's promise of eternal life. My soul longs for the fullness of life, which is only to be revealed when I meet my Maker in heaven. Stay by my side, St. Jude, so that my soul will always know the power of your healing love. Amen.

**** My daily prayer, is to Mary Mother of God…..”O Most Blessed Mother, heart of love, heart of mercy, ever listening, caring, consoling, hear our prayer. As your children we implore your intercession with Jesus your Son. Receive with understanding and compassion the petitions we place before you today. For sister Danni, nephew Steve, sister Clare, cousin Mick, uncle Hank, nephew Aaron, Kelly's brother, Brother Bruce Temple; good friend and brother Jeff Lyles and their speedy recoveries, good friends Ron Wyden, Shelly Nelson, Pat O'baby, good family friend Pat Percin, brother Gerry Bruce, sister Donna, the Arnnott, the Goetsche, the Commissioner Leonard, the brother Ed Carter and the Brasee families, and those who are having health issues; protecting Christopher, Rhyon and Amy and all in need. We are comforted in knowing your heart is ever open to those who ask for your prayer. We trust to your care and intercession, those whom we love and who are sick or lonely or hurting. Help ALL of us, to bear our burdens in this life until we may share eternal life and peace with God forever, Amen.”
