For all of you who remain in the struggle together…
WE DID IT!

In the midst of two wars, an economic downturn, dwindling 401k’s, plummeting home values, I still find time to laugh. Laughter is the greatest medicine! Enjoy a laugh on me today.

Mr. President-Elect Obama,
Now that the election is over, I thought it would be a good exercise for me to write out
which issues are most important to me. So, more for my sake than yours,
here they are…(no particular order)
Education: A parent
should be able to choose where they send their child, and if a school
is failing, be able to move their child (with the federal funding
dollars) to another school. Teachers should be rewarded for outcomes
and effectiveness, not tenure.
Protecting the Helpless: There are people who can't help themselves. The elderly; disabled
veterans; the unborn; children in poverty; those with special needs. Please support the many grass-roots
organizations who exist to help the helpless.
Energy:
For more than 20 years we've been hearing politicians tell us what we
can't do because it will take too long. Well, if they'd started 20
years ago, we wouldn't be in this predicament. It is important to me
that the government keeps this front and center, and that all forms of
energy are explored. God expects us to care for this planet, but He
also gave it to us to have dominion over…to live off the land. So if
there are natural resources available from God, and he has given us the
brains to figure out how to harvest those resources–we should do it!
Spending – I'm tired of an
out-of-control spending congress. President Bush never saw a spending
bill he didn't like, and the congress for years has spent more money
than they have without care for the future. The American people follow
their lead and spend more than they make.
President-Elect Obama:
It's going to take a President who is willing
to be very unpopular for awhile to turn this around.
I'm
sure I left one of your hot-button issues off this list. But, this list
comprises what will be on my mind for the next four years.
Best regards,
Pastor CE Stowers, Jr.
