Meet Maine 's New Governor --- In case you haven't heard about this guy
before, his name will stick in your mind!
The new Maine Governor, Paul LePage is
making New Jersey 's Chris Christie look timid. He isn't afraid to say
what he thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth,
his popularity goes up.
He brought down the house
at his inauguration when he shook his fist toward the media box and
said, "You're on notice! I've inherited a financially troubled State to
run. Observe...cover what we do...but don't whine if I don't waste time
responding to your every whim just for your amusement."
During his campaign for Governor, he was
talking to commercial fishermen who are struggling because of federal
fisheries rules. They complained that 0bama brought his family to Bar
Harbor and Acadia National Park for a long Labor Day holiday and found
time to meet with union leaders, but wouldn't talk to the fishermen.
LePage replied, "I'd tell him to go to hell and get out of my State."
The Lame Stream Media crucified LePage, but he jumped 6 points in the
pre-election poll.
The Martin Luther King
incident was a political sandbag, which brought him national exposure.
The 'lame stream' media crucified him, but word on the street is very
positive. The NAACP specifically asked LePage to spend MLK Day visiting
black inmates at the Maine State Prison. He told them that he would meet
with ALL inmates, regardless of race, if he were to visit the prison.
The NAACP balked and then put out a news release claiming falsely that
he refused to participate in any MLK events. He read it in the paper for
the 1st time the next morning while being driven to an event and went
ballistic because none of the reporters had called him for comment
before running the NAACP release.
He arrived at that event
& said in front of a TV camera, "If they want to play the race card
on me they can kiss my ass", and he reminded them that he has an adopted
black son from Jamaica and that he attended the local MLK Breakfast
every year that he was mayor of Waterville. (He started his morning
there on MLK Day.)
He then stated that there's
a right way and a wrong way to meet with the Governor, and he put all
special interests on notice that press releases, media leaks, and all
demonstrations would prove to be the wrong way. He said any other group,
which acted like the NAACP could expect to be at the bottom of the
Governor's priority list!
He then did the following,
and judging from local radio talk show callers, his popularity increased
even more: The State employees union complained because he waited until
3 P.M. before closing State offices and facilities and sending
non-emergency personnel home during the last blizzard. The prior
Governor would often close offices for the day with just a forecast
before the first flakes. (Each time the State closes for snow, it costs
the taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no work in return.)
LePage was CEO of the Marden's chain of discount family bargain
retail stores before election as governor. He noted that State employees
getting off work early could still find lots of retail stores open to
shop. So, he put the State employees on notice by announcing: "If
Marden's is open, Maine is open!"
He told State employees:
"We live in Maine in the winter, for heaven's sake, and should know how
to drive in it. Otherwise, apply for a State job in Florida
!"
Governor LePage symbolizes what America needs;
Refreshing politicians who aren't self-serving and who exhibit common
sense.
THE LAW IS THE LAW!
I really love this one.
This is one of the better e-mails I have
received in a long time! I hope this makes its way around the USA
several times over!!!!! HERE IS WHAT Governor LaPage
said,
"THE LAW IS THE LAW So "if" the US
government determines that it is against the law for the words "under
God" to be on our money, then, so be it.
And "if" that same government decides that
the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government
installation, then, so be it.
I say, "so be it," because
I would like to be a law abiding US citizen
I
say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than
I are in positions to make good decisions.
I would like to think that those people have
the American public's best interests at heart.
BUT, he said, "YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D
LIKE?
Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in
God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't
believe Government (Federal, State and Local) and its employees should
participate in Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God
that our government is eliminating from many facets of American
life.
I'd like
my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter.
After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the" US Supreme Court to be in
session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as
Sundays." After all, it's just another day.
I'd like the Senate and the House of
Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the
"Christmas Break." After all it's just another
day.
I'm thinking
a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices
& services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It
shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day
of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically
correct."
In
fact....I think our government should work on Sundays (AFTER ALL, It was
initially set aside for worshipping God....) because, AFTER ALL, our
government says that it should be Just ANOTHER
DAY...."
What do you all think???? If this idea gets
to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the
"minority opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the "majority"
of ALL of the American people.
SO BE IT...........Please
Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our country! 'Amen'
and 'Amen' Touché!
If this gets around the
country a few times, I believe we all will see a better
day!
