    Managing our national debt and bringing our nation back to a balanced budget are the most important issues we face in Congress today. I am proud to have stood with the Blue Dog Democrats Coalition on the bipartisan H.R. 4053, Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Improvement Act (IPERIA). Today’s passage is a great step towards working together to find progress for the future.

      (Please read this post from a distant relative Holly Tucker McCullough about her nephew. If you can, please express this outrage to your congress person, the White House or anyone else you can think of. We must care for our troops as they are willing to die for us). A lot of you know from my posts, about my nephew David Chamberlin. He was in Afghanistan and was shot a number of times resulting in serious damage to his hip and leg and he almost died more than once. He is recovering but has a long way to go. He received a bill from the U.S. Army for the uniform he was wearing when he was shot.. WHAT!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? We all know the government is way out of control.. But this shocks me. Also he has not been able to get home to his family because he could not fly. So they have not seen him since he was shot. He is now able to travel and wants to see his family. His plane ticket... Are you ready?? was $3,000.00 dollars.. Is there no military discount for wounded soldiers to fly? It saddens me that our Military is not valued more.. Remember also the Vietnam soldiers that returned from war with no appreciation shown for their sacrifice!!! I know this is a personal issue because David is family, but I assure you he is not alone. I will be contacting my congressman and sending an e-mail to the White House. I for one would be PROUD to pay for his uniform.. Whatever it cost.. God Bless our troops..

    Congratulations to Dr. John Wilson, who has been named as the new President of Morehouse College, who is returning to our alma mater.

    The Rev. J. H. Flakes was truly a giant redwood that has fallen in the forest. He made a tremendous impact on this community. He was a true example of courage, of perseverance, starting from humble beginnings and ultimately determined to be all that he could be and make the greatest contribution through the ministry of Jesus Christ. He will truly be missed.
