"Our Lives, Our Fortunes, Our Sacred Honor"
It was a glorious morning. The sun was shining and the wind
was from the southeast. Up especially early, a tall bony, r
edheaded young Virginian found time to buy a new
thermometer, for which he paid three pounds, fifteen
shillings. He also bought gloves for Martha, his wife,
who was ill at home.
Thomas Jefferson arrived early at the statehouse. The temperature was 72.5 degrees and the horseflies weren't nearly so bad at that hour. It was a lovely room, very large, with gleaming white walls. The chairs were comfortable. Facing the single door were two brass fireplaces, but they would not be used today. The moment the door was shut, and it was always kept locked, the room became an oven. The tall windows were shut, so that loud quarreling voices could not be heard by passersby. Small openings atop the windows allowed a slight stir of air, and also a large number of horseflies. Jefferson records that "the horseflies were dexterous in finding necks, and the silk of stockings was nothing to them." All discussing was punctuated by the slap of hands on necks.On the wall at the back, facing the president's desk, was a panoply -- consisting of a drum, swords, and banners seized from Fort Ticonderoga the previous year. Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold had captured the place, shouting that they were taking it "in the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress!"Now Congress got to work, promptly taking up an emergency measure about which there was discussion but no dissension. "Resolved: That an application be made to the Committee of Safety of Pennsylvania for a supply of flints for the troops at New York."Then Congress transformed itself into a committee of the whole. The Declaration of Independence was read aloud once more, and debate resumed. Though Jefferson was the best writer of all of them, he had been somewhat verbose. Congress hacked the excess away. They did a good job, as a side-by-side comparison of the rough draft and the final text shows. They cut the phrase "by a self-assumed power." "Climb" was replaced by "must read," then "must" was eliminated, then the whole sentence, and soon the whole paragraph was cut. Jefferson groaned as they continued what he later called "their depredations." "Inherent and inalienable rights" came out "certain unalienable rights," and to this day no one knows who suggested the elegant change.A total of 86 alterations were made. Almost 500 words were eliminated, leaving 1,337. At last, after three days of wrangling, the document was put to a vote.Here in this hall Patrick Henry had once thundered: "I am no longer a Virginian, sir, but an American." But today the loud, sometimes bitter argument stilled, and without fanfare the vote was taken from north to south by colonies, as was the custom. On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted.There were no trumpets blown. No one stood on his chair and cheered. The afternoon was waning and Congress had no thought of delaying the full calendar of routine business on its hands. For several hours they worked on many other problems before adjourning for the day.
Much To Lose
What kind of men were the 56 signers who adopted the Declaration of Independence and who, by their signing, committed an act of treason against the crown? To each of you, the names Franklin, Adams, Hancock and Jefferson are almost as familiar as household words. Most of us, however, know nothing of the other signers. Who were they? What happened to them? I imagine that many of you are somewhat surprised at the names not there: George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Patrick Henry. All were elsewhere. Ben Franklin was the only really old man. Eighteen were under 40; three were in their 20s. Of the 56 almost half - 24 - were judges and lawyers. Eleven were merchants, nine were landowners and farmers, and the remaining 12 were doctors, ministers, and politicians. With only a few exceptions, such as Samuel Adams of Massachusetts, these were men of substantial property. All but two had families. The vast majority were men of education and standing in their communities. They had economic security as few men had in the 18th Century. Each had more to lose from revolution than he had to gain by it. John Hancock, one of the richest men in America, already had a price of 500 pounds on his head. He signed in enormous letters so that his Majesty could now read his name without glasses and could now double the reward. Ben Franklin wryly noted: "Indeed we must all hang together, otherwise we shall most assuredly hang separately."Fat Benjamin Harrison of Virginia told tiny Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts: "With me it will all be over in a minute, but you, you will be dancing on air an hour after I am gone." These men knew what they risked. The penalty for treason was death by hanging. And remember, a great British fleet was already at anchor in New York Harbor.
They were sober men. There were no dreamy-eyed intellectuals or draft card burners here. They were far from hot-eyed fanatics yammering for an explosion. They simply asked for the status quo. It was change they resisted. It was equality with the mother country they desired. It was taxation with representation they sought. They were all conservatives, yet they rebelled. It was principle, not property, that had brought these men to Philadelphia. Two of them became presidents of the United States. Seven of them became state governors. One died in office as vice president of the United States. Several would go on to be U.S. Senators. One, the richest man in America, in 1828 founded the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. One, a delegate from Philadelphia, was the only real poet, musician and philosopher of the signers. (It was he, Francis Hopkinson not Betsy Ross who designed the United States flag.) Richard Henry Lee, a delegate from Virginia, had introduced the resolution to adopt the Declaration of Independence in June of 1776. He was prophetic in his concluding remarks: "Why then sir, why do we longer delay? Why still deliberate? Let this happy day give birth to an American Republic. Let her arise not to devastate and to conquer but to reestablish the reign of peace and law. "The eyes of Europe are fixed upon us. She demands of us a living example of freedom that may exhibit a contrast in the felicity of the citizen to the ever-increasing tyranny which desolates her polluted shores. She invites us to prepare an asylum where the unhappy may find solace, and the persecuted repost. "If we are not this day wanting in our duty, the names of the American Legislatures of 1776 will be placed by posterity at the side of all of those whose memory has been and ever will be dear to virtuous men and good citizens." Though the resolution was formally adopted July 4, it was not until July 8 that two of the states authorized their delegates to sign, and it was not until August 2 that the signers met at Philadelphia to actually put their names to the Declaration. William Ellery, delegate from Rhode Island, was curious to see the signers' faces as they committed this supreme act of personal courage. He saw some men sign quickly, "but in no face was he able to discern real fear." Stephan Hopkins, Ellery's colleague from Rhode Island, was a man past 60. As he signed with a shaking pen, he declared: "My hand trembles, but my heart does not."
"Most Glorious Service"
Even before the list was published, the British marked down every member of Congress suspected of having put his name to treason. All of them became the objects of vicious manhunts. Some were taken. Some, like Jefferson, had narrow escapes. All who had property or families near British strongholds suffered. · Francis Lewis, New York delegate saw his home plundered -- and his estates in what is now Harlem -- completely destroyed by British Soldiers. Mrs. Lewis was captured and treated with great brutality. Though she was later exchanged for two British prisoners through the efforts of Congress, she died from the effects of her abuse. · William Floyd, another New York delegate, was able to escape with his wife and children across Long Island Sound to Connecticut, where they lived as refugees without income for seven years. When they came home they found a devastated ruin. · Philips Livingstone had all his great holdings in New York confiscated and his family driven out of their home. Livingstone died in 1778 still working in Congress for the cause. · Louis Morris, the fourth New York delegate, saw all his timber, crops, and livestock taken. For seven years he was barred from his home and family. · John Hart of Trenton, New Jersey, risked his life to return home to see his dying wife. Hessian soldiers rode after him, and he escaped in the woods. While his wife lay on her deathbed, the soldiers ruined his farm and wrecked his homestead. Hart, 65, slept in caves and woods as he was hunted across the countryside. When at long last, emaciated by hardship, he was able to sneak home, he found his wife had already been buried, and his 13 children taken away. He never saw them again. He died a broken man in 1779, without ever finding his family. · Dr. John Witherspoon, signer, was president of the College of New Jersey, later called Princeton. The British occupied the town of Princeton, and billeted troops in the college. They trampled and burned the finest college library in the country.
· Judge Richard Stockton, another New Jersey delegate signer, had rushed back to his estate in an effort to evacuate his wife and children. The family found refuge with friends, but a Tory sympathizer betrayed them. Judge Stockton was pulled from bed in the night and brutally beaten by the arresting soldiers. Thrown into a common jail, he was deliberately starved. Congress finally arranged for Stockton's parole, but his health was ruined. The judge was released as an invalid, when he could no longer harm the British cause. He returned home to find his estate looted and did not live to see the triumph of the Revolution. His family was forced to live off charity. · Robert Morris, merchant prince of Philadelphia, delegate and signer, met Washington's appeals and pleas for money year after year. He made and raised arms and provisions which made it possible for Washington to cross the Delaware at Trenton. In the process he lost 150 ships at sea, bleeding his own fortune and credit almost dry. · George Clymer, Pennsylvania signer, escaped with his family from their home, but their property was completely destroyed by the British in the Germantown and Brandywine campaigns. · Dr. Benjamin Rush, also from Pennsylvania, was forced to flee to Maryland. As a heroic surgeon with the army, Rush had several narrow escapes. · John Martin, a Tory in his views previous to the debate, lived in a strongly loyalist area of Pennsylvania. When he came out for independence, most of his neighbors and even some of his relatives ostracized him. He was a sensitive and troubled man, and many believed this action killed him. When he died in 1777, his last words to his tormentors were: "Tell them that they will live to see the hour when they shall acknowledge it [the signing] to have been the most glorious service that I have ever rendered to my country." · William Ellery, Rhode Island delegate, saw his property and home burned to the ground.
· Thomas Lynch, Jr., South Carolina delegate, had his health broken from privation and exposures while serving as a company commander in the military. His doctors ordered him to seek a cure in the West Indies and on the voyage, he and his young bride were drowned at sea. · Edward Rutledge, Arthur Middleton, and Thomas Heyward, Jr., the other three South Carolina signers, were taken by the British in the siege of Charleston. They were carried as prisoners of war to St. Augustine, Florida, where they were singled out for indignities. They were exchanged at the end of the war, the British in the meantime having completely devastated their large landholdings and estates. · Thomas Nelson, signer of Virginia, was at the front in command of the Virginia military forces. With British General Charles Cornwallis in Yorktown, fire from 70 heavy American guns began to destroy Yorktown piece by piece. Lord Cornwallis and his staff moved their headquarters into Nelson's palatial home. While American cannonballs were making a shambles of the town, the house of Governor Nelson remained untouched. Nelson turned in rage to the American gunners and asked, "Why do you spare my home?" They replied, "Sir, out of respect to you." Nelson cried, "Give me the cannon!" and fired on his magnificent home himself, smashing it to bits. But Nelson's sacrifice was not quite over. He had raised $2 million for the Revolutionary cause by pledging his own estates. When the loans came due, a newer peacetime Congress refused to honor them, and Nelson's property was forfeited. He was never reimbursed. He died, impoverished, a few years later at the age of 50.
Lives, Fortunes, Honor
Of those 56 who signed the Declaration of Independence, nine died of wounds or hardships during the war. Five were captured and imprisoned, in each case with brutal treatment. Several lost wives, sons or entire families. One lost his 13 children. Two wives were brutally treated. All were at one time or another the victims of manhunts and driven from their homes. Twelve signers had their homes completely burned. Seventeen lost everything they owned. Yet not one defected or went back on his pledged word. Their honor, and the nation they sacrificed so much to create is still intact. And, finally, there is the New Jersey signer, Abraham Clark. He gave two sons to the officer corps in the Revolutionary Army. They were captured and sent to that infamous British prison hulk afloat in New York Harbor known as the hell ship Jersey, where 11,000 American captives were to die. The younger Clarks were treated with a special brutality because of their father. One was put in solitary and given no food. With the end almost in sight, with the war almost won, no one could have blamed Abraham Clark for acceding to the British request when they offered him his sons' lives if he would recant and come out for the King and Parliament. The utter despair in this man's heart, the anguish in his very soul, must reach out to each one of us down through 200 years with his answer: "No." The 56 signers of the Declaration Of Independence proved by their every deed that they made no idle boast when they composed the most magnificent curtain line in history. "And for the support of this Declaration with a firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
My friends, I know you have a copy of the Declaration of Independence somewhere around the house - in an old history book (newer ones may well omit it), an encyclopedia, or one of those artificially aged "parchments" we all got in school years ago. I suggest that each of you take the time this month to read through the text of the Declaration, one of the most noble and beautiful political documents in human history. There is no more profound sentence than this: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness..." These are far more than mere poetic words. The underlying ideas that infuse every sentence of this treatise have sustained this nation for more than two centuries. They were forged in the crucible of great sacrifice. They are living words that spring from and satisfy the deepest cries for liberty in the human spirit. "Sacred honor" isn't a phrase we use much these days, but every American life is touched by the bounty of this, the Founders' legacy. It is freedom, tested by blood, and watered with tears. - Rush Limbaugh III

love for country.
And to the Republic
Republic -- a state in which sovereign power is invested

to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands
One Nation

Dear Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs;
I was told that you are blocking several blog and web
sites on your web site. Is it possible to block my web site
also . My blog is not known to many people in Wisconsin
so it would be nice to get mine on your list.
it is the following ;
http://www.berrylaker.blogspot.com/
To be serious, will you stop wasting tax dollars and spend
your time and our money taking care of our vet's who have
fought, suffered and died for this country , for our freedoms
and for tax dollars to pay for your department.
You have better things to do!
Please use some common sense.
Thank You ,

Dem's Live in Fantasy World
You lib's and candys probably didn't hear about this.
When will people understand the threat is real and is
just a matter of time that something happens on our soil.
Only in a Fantasy world.
Police avert car bomb 'carnage'
car bomb planted in central London would have
caused "carnage" if it had exploded, police say.
A controlled explosion was carried out on the car,
packed with 60 litres of petrol, gas cylinders and
nails, in Haymarket, near Piccadilly Circus.
So, will we now have back round checks for carpenters
who buy nails?

It had a bumper, if not a sticker
Now we can see what John Edwards was prattling
on about when he said the war on terror is a bumper-
sticker slogan.He meant, of course, that terrorists are
conducting it via cars that you could, in theory, put a
bumper sticker on. Or something. For instance, there's
the near miss in London this morning: A car outside a
nightclub with 60 liters of gasoline inside, along with nails
and a propane cylinders. Police say it's too soon to be
conclusive about who put the car there, thought a former
police chief tells Sky News that it bore the hallmarks of
al-Qaida, and the Times notes that the method resembled
planned al-Qaida attacks. No word on whether the car
actually bore a bumper sticker reading, "Surrender now,
infidel swine," so just how correct Edwards is about the
war on terror remains to be seen.

Another RINO Maybe
On June 22nd I sent a letter to my Representative in Madison
E mail copy seen below.
Six days and not even a "thank you ,
I'm busy and I will get back to you soon. Maybe we elected
a wienie, maybe a person with no spine, maybe a person
with no common courtesy to acknowledge a letter or maybe a
Democrat in in RINO clothing.
Dear Mr Tauchen,
I live in your district and meet you during your election at
the Town of Underhill town meeting.
From your Election Web Site you said ;
Tax Reform and Fiscal Restraint Simply put, Wisconsin
needs tax reform. Our state’s excessively high tax rates
are driving away our young college graduates, keeping
companies from settling in the Badger State, and crippling
small businesses. By simply lowering taxes, and curtailing
government spending, we will solve many of Wisconsin’s
financial problems.
Property Tax Freeze ,
property taxpayers need relief - they
just saw the largest property tax increase in a decade, thanks
to Governor Doyle's 2003 veto of a freeze. His plan also allows
tax increases at twice the rate of inflation. I will vote to freeze
property taxes.
I questioned your fiscal direction when you were running for your
office, Even though I did vote for you, your actions in Madison will
tell me how I will vote in the next election. Two simply questions,
two simply answers - YES or No, will be the only reply I expect from you.
No, I do not want a form letter that your staff will send me that
states you are working hard for the people of your district and my
two question are very complicated issues. I also do not want to hear
"you are working very hard to hold the line on taxes and protect the
quality of life for the people of Wisconsin".
Will you vote to raise any taxes in Wisconsin?
Will you pledge not to raise the taxes of the people of Wisconsin?
If you feel you would like to reply to my questions , save our tax
dollars, do not send any letter through the U S mail.
Simply reply to me by e mail.
Thank you

Only From A LIB
From Inside the Beltway
John McCaslin
How many people hear from the main stream media
on this kind of story? And this is a Democrat!Where would
this story be if it was a Right Winger?
Here's the phrase that makes me laugh.
According to the columnist, Mrs. Waters' office later called Mr.
Hayes and expressed concern "that this story of his arrest not
be leaked to the press, and not get back to her district."
The whole story;
Mouthy Maxine
Rep. Maxine Waters, California Democrat, reportedly had
former Los Angeles mayoral candidate and homeless activist
Ted Hayes arrested for disorderly conduct outside her
Capitol Hill office several days ago, then requested he
remain quiet about his apprehension.
"[T]o have a citizen arrested because they disagree is
beyond the pale and begs the question, why do they care
more about illegal aliens than they do their own constituents?"
Washington columnist Nina May wrote this week on the
Renaissance Women Web site.
Mrs. May was to have met with Mr. Hayes on June 19 when
he was on Capitol Hill meeting with a lawmaker about illegal
immigration. She later learned of his arrest when he couldn't
keep the appointment.
"Ted's concern with the [proposed immigration] bill is that,
as a black man who has worked with the homeless and
disadvantaged for years, he sees an amnesty bill as one
more obstacle for poor blacks to overcome," Mrs. May wrote.
"He sees the illegal aliens in his home area of Los Angeles putting
an insurmountable burden on the social welfare and education
system, and sees jobs that would ordinarily go to his people
... going to the illegals.
And when he speaks out about it, he is castigated as a racist,
called names, slandered and threatened."
Mr. Hayes had stopped in to see Mrs. Waters, who he has
known for more than 20 years, only to have her walk past
him and into the hallway.
"Ted got up to follow her asking why ... ? To this query she
spun around and responded, 'You are full of [expletive],
You are full of [expletive], Ted Hayes,' " Mrs. May wrote.
At that point, a U.S. Capitol Police officer responded and
placed Mr. Hayes in handcuffs. He was charged with
disorderly conduct, a police spokesman confirmed yesterday.
According to the columnist, Mrs. Waters' office later called
Mr. Hayes and expressed concern "that this story of his

Mrs. Waters declined to speak to Inside the Beltway yesterday.
John McCaslin
How many people hear from the main stream media
on this kind of story? And this is a Democrat!Where would
this story be if it was a Right Winger?
Here's the phrase that makes me laugh.
According to the columnist, Mrs. Waters' office later called Mr.
Hayes and expressed concern "that this story of his arrest not
be leaked to the press, and not get back to her district."
The whole story;
Mouthy Maxine
Rep. Maxine Waters, California Democrat, reportedly had
former Los Angeles mayoral candidate and homeless activist
Ted Hayes arrested for disorderly conduct outside her
Capitol Hill office several days ago, then requested he
remain quiet about his apprehension.
"[T]o have a citizen arrested because they disagree is
beyond the pale and begs the question, why do they care
more about illegal aliens than they do their own constituents?"
Washington columnist Nina May wrote this week on the
Renaissance Women Web site.
Mrs. May was to have met with Mr. Hayes on June 19 when
he was on Capitol Hill meeting with a lawmaker about illegal
immigration. She later learned of his arrest when he couldn't
keep the appointment.
"Ted's concern with the [proposed immigration] bill is that,
as a black man who has worked with the homeless and
disadvantaged for years, he sees an amnesty bill as one
more obstacle for poor blacks to overcome," Mrs. May wrote.
"He sees the illegal aliens in his home area of Los Angeles putting
an insurmountable burden on the social welfare and education
system, and sees jobs that would ordinarily go to his people
... going to the illegals.
And when he speaks out about it, he is castigated as a racist,
called names, slandered and threatened."
Mr. Hayes had stopped in to see Mrs. Waters, who he has
known for more than 20 years, only to have her walk past
him and into the hallway.
"Ted got up to follow her asking why ... ? To this query she
spun around and responded, 'You are full of [expletive],
You are full of [expletive], Ted Hayes,' " Mrs. May wrote.
At that point, a U.S. Capitol Police officer responded and
placed Mr. Hayes in handcuffs. He was charged with
disorderly conduct, a police spokesman confirmed yesterday.
According to the columnist, Mrs. Waters' office later called
Mr. Hayes and expressed concern "that this story of his
arrest not be leaked to the press, and not get back to her
district."
Mrs. Waters declined to speak to Inside the Beltway yesterday.

Berry Lake and The EPA
Hey Berry Lakers , this seems to be interesting.
Looks like the EPA is working to tighten even more
counties.
From Appleton Post Crescent and the A P
For those of you not from Berry Lake we have the
WDNR and the EPA doing tests on Berry Lake. All
from a grant that was pushed through by certain people
on the lake and voted for by our elected officials.How
will the EPA enforce federal laws for our lake? No I do
not advocate destroying our beautiful Lake. It is a
clean lake free of any invasive plant growth
yada,yada,yada. But I am leery about big government
AKA, EPA.
So to you people that think you know what will happen ,
GOOD Luck!!!!!!!

OK, let the Canadians keep Cuba
Fidel Castro publishes a rant vowing that
the United States "will never have Cuba."
Actually, he makes it personal, saying President
Bush wants the place. He cites some joke the president
is said to have told. It was one of several such blasts
he's put in his government-owned newspaper lately.
The first thought that occurs is, why would we want
Cuba? Most of it appears to be fairly shabby after
half a century of communism. Let the Canadians keep it,
if they're so eager to find beaches without Americans.
How long yet will the left embrace Fidel and after he
passes away will it take the left to invest into the Cuban
economy after that. ( with in seconds). They know easy
money when they see it The left will make money in
Cuba like everyone else and make nothing of it
but at the same time accuse republicans of steeling
from the Cubans. And yes the ultra libs from Canada
will finnally have beach front property.

Ujnderhill Town Meeting
Underhill Town Meeting June 5,2007 7:30 pm
I give a lot of credit to all that served in the past and those now on
the board in the town of Underhill. Local Government can be very
interesting if anyone from the the town of Underhill
( Berry Lake) would show up!!!!!!!!DAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
Highlights -
Town is looking at changing the way the recycling center is run.
A gentleman from Waste Management was there to look at the
town saving money for the town. The town is locked in their
contract for the next two years. W / M is building a recycling
center in Milwaukee that all bottles , cans, paper will all be
dumped into one bin and not separated. Wow That would
be seventh heaven in Underhill. Work in progress.
Town is looking at possible closing the road off of V by the
Recycling center. The road is a dead end road which ends
up by the bridge in Underhill. It is just a dump site for people
that are too lazy to take there garbage to the dump. I agree with some
on the board to close it down and turn it over to the land owners
along the road. The town can't put a gate up to stop the garbage ,
so just shut it down and save the time that board members
spend to clean up the garbage.
Berry Lake Lake grant- BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA, BLA,
where are the concerned people on BERRY Lake?
I think our town is going through changes and I think
it is for the good of the town.
Thank you Town board for your work.

Tyler pitched well and # 1 finished the bottom of the 6th.
The team got behind in the first and went ahead in the

pulling off the victory, but alas it was not to be.
I wasn't sure through the season how the men would do
but they gave it a good try. A lot of young guys and the

Hats off to the Gillett High School baseball team.

Lobbying Reform Losing Steam in House
Lobbying Reform Losing Momentum in Congress After
Democrats Touted It for 2006 Election
This just says it all!
House Democrats are suddenly balking at the tough lobbying
reforms they touted to voters last fall as a reason for putting
them in charge of Congress.
Now that they are running things, many Democrats want to
keep the big campaign donations and lavish parties that lobbyists
put together for them. They're also having second thoughts about
having to wait an extra year before they can become high-paid
lobbyists themselves should they retire or be defeated at the polls.
The situation concerns some Democrats, who note their party
campaigned against a "culture of corruption" in 2006, when voters
ended a long run of Republican control of Congress. Several
high-profile issues remained in doubt Friday, five days before
the House Judiciary Committee is to take up the legislation.
You people got what you wished for and where is it getting you?

Easter Thoughts
To the people of the world ,Happy Easter
We will be going to 9:00 oclock mass to celebrate the
resurection of our Lord Jesus Christ. We had our candle vigil
last night, a very nice ceramony. One of the first readings
was from the book of Genisus. It told of how God created the
world in six days and rested on the seventh.
You know, There are a lot of Christens that if asked could not answer.
If you believe in creation how can you believe in global warming, believe
in PETA,
001:011 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb
yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his
kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so
.001:012 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed
after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in
itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
001:027 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God
created he him; male and female created he them.
001:028 And God blessed them, and God said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:
and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl
of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
001:029 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing
seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree,
in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall
be for meat.
So If God has the power to create the earth , the sea, the land,
to create all creatures including man himself , he is also the only
One to take it away, to destroy the earth as we know it!
Man has dominon over the earth and all its creatures, the
creatures do not have dominon over man.
I guess everything started going down hill for man when Eve
and Adam ate from the forbidden fruit .
003:006 And when the woman saw that the tree was good
for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be
desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and
did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
003:007 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew
that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons.
Link to Genesis
Well I guess this kind of discusion is a little to deep for most.
No,I am not out to destroy the earth but I have the feeling God
has everything taken care of. No Global warming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I myself am thankful for all that I have. From losing our bussiness,
being sued by my X father in law, to bankruptcy, to finding a great
job for a great company. I pray always for the greatest gift anyone
could ever receive, my family. My wife , my children and grandchild,
Thank you Lord.

DO NOT GET OLD
From Todays Shawano Leader
Mummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, interesting
headline!
Local seniors displeased with Bush’s SeniorCare
announcement
Say what? I have to read that again!
Local seniors displeased with Bush’s SeniorCare
announcement
By Donna Hobscheid, Leader Reporter
Local seniors who use the state’s SeniorCare prescription drug
program were not pleased with the Bush administration’s
announcement Wednesday.
How many at Mason Woods are really on Senior Care?
“It’s terrible that our president doesn’t care about senior citizens,”
said Beverly Goering, a resident of Mason Woods.
Yep, that darn Bush if making seniors eat dog and cat food again!
Beverly, how old are you?
Gov. Jim Doyle received a letter this week from the Department
of Health and Human Services denying Wisconsin’s request to keep
the SeniorCare program beyond June 30. The announcement affects
more than 100,000 seniors.
Oh no, Diamond Jim is fighting for the seniors of Wisconsin!
Jim, where did you get the 100,000 number from?
U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen (D-Wis.), who was at a senior fair at Mason
Woods on Shawano Lake Wednesday, said the announcement has
fueled his fire to try to create a program similar to SeniorCare for
the nation.
Yea baby, even Dr K had to get involved with this! Since he still

in Shawano!
“How can we hold it against seniors for not understanding something
that we can’t explain to them,” Kagen said.
Dr ,you do not understand the program? What did the people of Wisconsin
send you to Washington for? Dr K , you just proved your
IGNORANCE!!!!!!
Dr K, I don't understand my high property taxes, Can you help me
understand ? Maybe I don't have to pay them!
Let's get to the chase,
# 1- seniors have health care coverage without the Senior care!
The government has Part D which is paid for by the government.
It been going for what a year or two, And it is working and even
saving tax payers money!
#2- the people in the nursing home that Kagen was at are probably
all covered by part D or their own plans!
#3 - This is just a photo op and poor Donna from the Leader is
either too bias or too stupid to ask the hard questions, or afraid
she would be bared from the next Kegan photo op!
Donna, did you forget or can I help you for next time!
Good question, how many people at the home were on Part D,
an exact number please?
Good question, how many people at the home were on Senior Care,
an exact number please?
Good question-does Beverly from Mason Woods know what plan
she is on or is she covered herself, or did someone before the photo op
tell her Bush is a crook and trying to take Senior Care away from
probably no one in the Shawano area.
Donna , please do your homework next time.
The morral of the story when people get old they can be told
anything and will believe it ! I dread getting OLD!

Local seniors displeased with Bush’s SeniorCare
announcement
Say what? I have to read that again!
Local seniors displeased with Bush’s SeniorCare
announcement
By Donna Hobscheid, Leader Reporter
Local seniors who use the state’s SeniorCare prescription drug
program were not pleased with the Bush administration’s
announcement Wednesday.
How many at Mason Woods are really on Senior Care?
“It’s terrible that our president doesn’t care about senior citizens,”
said Beverly Goering, a resident of Mason Woods.
Yep, that darn Bush if making seniors eat dog and cat food again!
Beverly, how old are you?
Gov. Jim Doyle received a letter this week from the Department
of Health and Human Services denying Wisconsin’s request to keep
the SeniorCare program beyond June 30. The announcement affects
more than 100,000 seniors.
Oh no, Diamond Jim is fighting for the seniors of Wisconsin!
Jim, where did you get the 100,000 number from?
U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen (D-Wis.), who was at a senior fair at Mason
Woods on Shawano Lake Wednesday, said the announcement has
fueled his fire to try to create a program similar to SeniorCare for
the nation.
Yea baby, even Dr K had to get involved with this! Since he still
hasn't done anything in Washington he needs to spread the manure
in Shawano!
“How can we hold it against seniors for not understanding something
that we can’t explain to them,” Kagen said.
Dr ,you do not understand the program? What did the people of Wisconsin

Al,Al,Al,Al,Al,Al, saving the planet, right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have Geothermal heat , What a GREAT story from
t8kthdog on the WGAT message board. P. S., WGAT stock is the
one to buy!
HOUSE # 1:A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms)
heated by natural gas. Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a
separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONEMONTH ALONE
this mansion consumes more energy than the average American
household in an ENTIRE YEAR.
The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00
per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a
fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national
average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or
Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.
HOUSE # 2:Designed by an architecture professor at a leading
national university, this house incorporates every "green" feature
current home construction can provide.The house contains only
4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie
in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds
geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk
300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats
the house in winter and coolsit in summer. The system uses no fossil
fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity
required for a conventional heating/coolingsystem. Rainwater from
the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground
cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into
underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected
water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and
shrubs native to the areablend the property into the surrounding
rural landscape.
HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville,
Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist
(and filmmaker), darling of the liberal communist Hollywood actors,
Al ?I invented the Internet? Gore.
HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near
Crawford, Texas. Also known as "the Texas White House,
" it is the private residence of the President of the United
States, George W. Bush.
Our Geothermal Bill for 2006 for heating and air conditioning,
cooling ( air conditioning) - $89.96
Heating (very little L P used ) 236.91
Total for year 353.86
Can you beat that, over 2600 sq. ft house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How Bad It Is
I first have to apologize for making such a statement!
How bad is state govornment if I would even think of
this question!
Is there payola going on with this interchange?
One of the key changes from past meetings was
the proposal of an interchange at Leopolis Road.
That interchange would provide better access to
the Stockbridge-Munsee community and
NorthStar Casino
Do I assume with the corruption in Madison that Diamond
Jim is paying the tribe back from their campaign donations
with a better interchange to the casino?
This is probably an honest up front deal which will help the casino
( which I'm all for), but again no one would even think of such a
question if we had honest state government.

Five interchanges for 29 possible
By Donna Hobscheid
Leader Reporter
An interchange at Leopolis Road might become a reality, based
on the latest proposal from the Highway 29 cooridor presevation
study.
Potential locations for future interchanges and overpasses along
Highway 29 were presented in a meeting Monday in Shawano
before about 40 town and county officials.
One of the key changes from past meetings was the proposal
of an interchange at Leopolis Road.
That interchange would provide better access to the
Stockbridge-Munsee community and NorthStar Casino,
said Chris Devery, senior transportation engineer for
HNTB, Milwaukee and planning coordinator for the state
Department of Transportation in this area.

Hostage fears over troops seized by Iran
Britain’s crisis with Iran deepened last night after Tehran justified
seizing 15 British servicemen by claiming that they had strayed into
Iranian territorial waters “illegally”.
The announcement appeared to rule out any hope that the incident
was a simple mistake that could be quickly rectified.
You lib's and candy's must think it was a mistake, the

Obey defends earmarks in war
funding bill
House vote expected later today
By Brian Tumulty Post-Crescent Washington bureau
WASHINGTON — Rep. David Obey, the floor manager of the $124.3
billion spending bill the House is scheduled to vote on later today,
issued an impassioned response this morning to critics who say the
bill is loaded with special interest earmarks.
Obey, D-Wausau, said the bill he authored as chairman of the
House Appropriations Committee includes agricultural disaster
assistance because the last Congress failed to act.
Go head ,just say it! The republicans didn't pass it last year, Were
you not in the same congress last year, whats your excuse?
And he said the widely criticized $25 million for spinach
producers was included because they participated in a
voluntary recall last year. "You can laugh about it now,
but people were dying last year because of an E. coli
breakout.,' said Obey.
Hey Dave, I did a voluntary payment to the town of Underhill last
year of $420.00 in property taxes, can I get something?

GOP: Kagen makes himself a target for ouster
Appleton Democrat tries to put focus on his agenda

By J.E. Espino Post-Crescent staff writer
U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen has been in office only three months,
but already the national Republican Party is plotting how
to oust the Appleton Democrat when he's up for re-election
in 2008.
Ken Spain, a spokes-man for the National Republican
Also, "(Congress) passed house rules, which end the
lobbyists' gravy train that too many members of
Congress will ride," he said.
Can anyone tell me what rules changed ?????????????
Kind of like Kagens radio spots on how he voted for raising
the minimum wage? Which to my recollection hasn't passed yet!
Were supposed to give him credit for a bill that has not passed?????
What will be the next big mistake he will make?

there be. Funny Jim S wasn't brought up, and what about
Bush and Chenny " Chenny did it to get back at the Packers ,
you know he hates the Packers!!!! I don't know if he does
but it sounded good Kevin Barret!
I was always told to do all your home work not just the
parts you only like!
Action in Congress paid well for Troha
Posted: March 17, 2007
The reach of indicted Kenosha exec Dennis Troha extends
all the way to the U.S. Congress.
Much to his own direct financial benefit.
Rest of Dan Bice article
Well I do give Dan credit for the graph to the RIGHT of the
article ( one Dem , two Republicans )but it might of been
better if they would of put the graph to the LEFT (TY)
of the article.
Local Issues
For you local folks we had two or more break ins on the lake
this past Friday night. two and four doors to the west of
our place around 8:30 to 9:30 p m .
The thefts must be getting desperate or or a little gutsy to
break in close to full time residents on the lake.
We have had some break ins lately but it seems to be escalating.
Another issue on the lake is the EPA is coming to Berry Lake
to do some grant studies on the lake. I'm sure most of the
people who own property on the lake really do not know what
they are in for! My opinion is people will be fined for the smallest
issues and eventually the lake will be protected and most boats will
be banned from the lake.
Good luck people on Berry Lake , you won't see it coming!!!!!!

Water Level
Those of you that live and enjoy Berry Lake have heard all
the stories.
Berry Lake's water level goes up and down with Lake Michigan,
when michigan is up , Berry Lake is up , when michigan is down ,
Berry Lake is down.
JFYI, Berry Lake is an est. 200 acre lake northwest of Green Bay,
8 miles west of Gillett, 9 miles east of Keshena. On a map if you
look at where Oconto, Shawano and Menominee county's all
meet you see Berry Lake. Part of the lake is in Oconto county,
part is in Menominee Count
We are a spring feed lake about 842 feet above sea level.
In 2005, the lake came up!
In 2006 the lake came up!
In 2007 we shall see,

Summertime Lake Michigan level expected to drop further
By DAN EGANdegan@journalsentinel.com
Posted: March 17, 2007
Winter might have seemed like it returned to normal this year,
but Lake Michigan hasn't.
Despite the cold and snow of the past few months, the water
level of Lake Michigan continue to drop; as of Friday, Lake Michigan
was about an inch lower than it was at this time last year, and a
bout 17 inches below its long-term average. The long-range
forecast for water levels isn't calling for things to get much
better this summer.
It was always funny to hear some crazy old man on the lake
tell us all that "Michigan is down, Berry Lake will go down"!
Well crazy old man , we shall see this year if you are right
or just blowing wind!

Gov. Lawton, Where Are You
From Charlie Sykes Link

PARTYING WITH THE TROHAS
Apparently, being the gov's biggest contributor has quite a few bennies;
including the chance to stand under the mistletoe with the Big Guy himself.
The Cap Times is reporting that Doyle actually went to Christmas parties at
Troha's house... most recently last year. Gov. Jim Doyle attended a holiday
party last year at the home of Dennis Troha, the Kenosha businessman who
faces federal money laundering charges in connection with campaign
contributions he gave to Doyle.The Dec. 20 party was the second Christmas
get-together at Troha's house that Doyle attended since becoming governor
in 2003, Doyle spokesman Matt Canter said; Doyle was also a guest at Troha's
2004 yuletide celebration.
Doyle's party appearances were acknowledged after an open records request
produced a schedule that listed a "Kenosha Holiday Party," last December and
come amid intense scrutiny over the governor's relationship with Troha. Until
last month, Troha was the developer of a proposed $808 million tribal casino
in Kenosha and is the former owner of a major trucking firm now at the center
of a multi-state tax dispute.The records provide "new insight into the coziness
of their relationship," said Mike McCabe, director of the Wisconsin Democracy
Campaign, a watchdog group.This won't help Jim Doyle distance himself from
indicted contributor Dennis Troha one bit.
We should of had a change last November, stupid voters ,
opps, sorry, uninteligent voters, ( IDIOTS)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW, KAGEN BLABBER MOUTH WATCH 2
From Jessica McBride and Link
and Sean at the American Mind Link
Kagen Receiving Emanuel “Tough Love”
Rep. Steve Kagen, the blabber mouth who talked about
running on “Injun time,” vowing to personally fight terrorists,
and most recently claiming to have told off Karl Rove has come
under the wing of Rep. Rahm Emanuel:
One freshman who has been on the receiving end of Emanuel’s
“tough love” is Rep. Steve Kagen (Wis.), who boasted to a group
of anti-war activists that he had dressed down President Bush’s
top political adviser, Karl Rove, during a White House reception.
The administration denied the story.
But Emanuel threw a fit. Kagen’s staff was hauled into the
Democratic Caucus’s office for lessons on how to handle the
media, Democratic sources said.
Lets just call him what he really is, "a lit fuse that's about to go off!
The guy needs him and his staff to learn how to handle the press??
Maybe if the guy would just be honest? Well throw that one out!
He's a nut job, I say by April 15th we will get another story
about Kagen going off the deep end!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of Kagen
In my weekly travels on the radio I heard a commercial that
(y)our boy Kagen put out. It told you to call Kagen in D C to
thank him for all the things he has done so far for us in Wisconsin.
First , it said he voted to raise the min wage! Wait, that didn't
pass yet The house passed a bill but the Senate couldn't pass it.
I'm suppose to thank him for what( he tried )?
Oh I feel good about him already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My son tells me he's getting a A in chemistry,I then see a D
on his report card and I should say good job ??????????????
I sell a display to a store and the mgr says he will order 20 cases
of my product, I come back a week later and there's no display???
I tell my friends we are rich and then commit bankruptcy??????
My accountant tells us we are getting a $2000.00 refund on taxes
and I get a letter from the IRS and we owe $2500.00 ????????????
I get pulled over for 10 miles an hour over the speed limit, the
officer says he will not give me a speeding ticket, oh good, but
he will take me in for DWI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My wife tells me we are going to celebrate and go out to eat,
she tells me to drive and we go through the drive thru
at Wendy's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you Dem's and Candy's believe everything you
hear???????????????
