Beth Krom for Congress
Dear darlene,

Memorial Day is our opportunity to honor the sacrifice of our fallen soldiers and to reflect on what it means to live in a country that promises "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" to all its citizens. There is a price to pay for such freedoms, and it is the men and women of our military who pay that price. 
Beth  Miliatry 2I grew up during the Vietnam War.  Today, the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to challenge us as a nation.

While war is always a hotly debated topic, there should be no debate about the debt we owe to the brave men and women who have sacrificed their lives defending our freedom. 

As your Representative, I will work hard to ensure that that those who bravely serve in our military are not abandoned and neglected when they come home.


Military families deserve a stronger voice in Washington. Let's ensure that the families of our fallen soldiers know just how much our nation values their sacrifice.  

Please join me on Memorial Day, May 25th, at 10:00 a.m. to honor the sacrifice of our brave heroes at Colonel Bill Barber Marine Corps Memorial Park in Irvine (Barranca Parkway and Harvard).

 
Sincerely,

beth sig
Beth Krom
Candidate for Congress
48th Congressional District

P.S. With your help, I can fight on behalf of our veterans and military families.  Please consider contributing to our campaign today!

Want to be a pen pal so a child can learn good english?

Subject: Hey pen pals!
Hey everyone,
So, new plan of action: send your first letter to Team Rwanda. It takes about a month to send mail to Rwanda, and then about as long to get anything back. To cut down on time, we're going to send letters first.. and whenever the kids' letters come in, TR will distribute them from there. 
For the first letter, it can be rather short- just a little introduction about yourself. Mention that you're from the United States. The rest is up to you! Keep the sentences short and simple because they're just starting with English. 
Start writing now, and we'll get the project started a.s.a.p.!! Please send the letters to Team Rwanda at : 904 Maplewood Dr, Pittsburgh, PA 15234 . You can just say "hello" or "dear friend" in the letter since you don't have a pen pal YET. 
Thanks so much!! Happy writing!! Message me with any questions or email us at teamrwanda.pgh@gmail.com
-Team Rwanda
P.S.- if you have not already done so, email us at teamrwanda.pgh@gmail.com so that we have your email address! then messages like this can be sent via email and not facebook :)
my P.S.
my 2 letters are out in the mail today!

A message from a four-legged friend.

Written by: Commissioner Richard Renner on Jan 20, 2009 7:28 PM EST

Linked to groups: Empathy Cafe, DFA Central Ohio, Michigan Democracy for America, Upper Michigan DFA, Montco DFA

Mitzy is a two year old Brittany Spaniel/Chocolate Lab mix.  She is a wonderful dog who loves to play, especially fetch, and loves to go for rides in the car.  She knows how to sit, shake and heel. 

Mitzy's family loved her very much.  They had her spayed, as all responsible pet-owners should, and took her to the Vet for the least little problem.  Mitzy was a member of the family, and when a member of your family is sick, you take them to the doctor.

However, about six months ago, the father of Mitzy's family lost his job.  The result was so financially devastating that they could no longer afford to care for Mitzy and were forced to surrender her to the Missaukee Humane Society.

Given the exponential descent of our economy, Mitzy's story has become all too common.  But, there is something you can do to help.  Missaukee Humane Society (MHS) is a small shelter in rural northern Michigan, dependent on contributions to continue their mission of mercy.  They are one of the only no-kill animal shelters left in Michigan, and are currently running on a deficit, at full capacity.  Many mornings, the staff arrives to find abandoned pets, left overnight by owners who can no longer afford to feed or care for them.

Right now, MHS is attempting to win a $10,000 prize from Adopt-a-Pet.com.  Please, can you spare 30 seconds of your time to vote for MHS, by clicking on...

http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/70962/?refer=26290.12.1229816824.4762

$10,000 could save literally hundreds of abandoned pets - Pets that give us nothing but unconditional love in exchange for an occasional pat on the head, a squeaky toy to play with, and a couple of bowls filled with food and fresh water.

Because MHS is in a rural, sparsely populated area, they need as many votes as possible from all across the state, and all across the country.  Please vote now at...

http://www.care2.com/animalsheltercontest/70962/?refer=26290.12.1229816824.4762

Time is running out, so please don't wait.  The contest ends January 31, 2009, at 11:59pm.  After you vote, you will have an opportunity to forward information about the contest to as many people as possible so that they can join you in this worthy cause.  Vote, spread the word, be a voice for the voiceless...

I thank you, and Mitzy thanks you.

The one absolute, unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world—the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous—is his dog…

The one absolute, unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world—the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous—is his dog…a man’s dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that had no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth an outcast in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.
