Hello Florida Patriots...

It seems that AFL-CIO and SEIU isn't happy that their "agenda's" aren't being "rammed" through congress, according to Yahoo article "Organized labor's agenda hits roadblock; what now?"

The SEIU are planning meetings in several areas...To find out where they are meeting..Go to SEIU - Orlando or SEIU - Homepage and look at the Calendar Highlights to find out more....

Would be great to get a whole bunch of folks there to these meetings to protest...what say you??

I have heard he is shopping with some big companies here for a job. Divorce not going well may bring out things he would not want disclosed. That word is ever where in cd-2 but no confirmation.

Decorated, cigar-smoking Marine runs for Congress

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- A decorated Marine veteran famously photographed smoking a cigar after the fall of Baghdad is running for Congress in California's most southern district.

Nick Popaditch announced Tuesday that he is seeking the Republican nomination to unseat Democrat Bob Filner.

Known as "Gunny Pop," the 42-year-old Popaditch was awarded the Silver Star for combat actions in Fallujah, where he was blinded in one eye by a rocket-propelled grenade.

That April 2004 attack came nearly a year after an Associated Press photographer captured a smiling Popaditch smoking a cigar, with the just-fallen statue of Saddam Hussein in the background. The photograph landed on newspaper front pages, garnering Popaditch worldwide attention.

California's heavily Democratic 51st Congressional District stretches along the Mexican border from San Diego's suburbs to the Arizona state line.

Filner, first elected in 1992, was re-elected last year with 73 percent of the vote.

Delete Comment Top Republican says White House hiding info on Fort Hood
By Eric Zimmermann - 11/11/09 10:13 AM ET

The ranking Republican on the House intelligence committee on Tuesday night accused the White House of withholding information on the Fort Hood attack.

Rep. Pete Hoekstra (Mich.) said administration officials delayed briefing members of Congress about the alleged gunman, raising "red flags" about what the White House was hiding.

"When they withhold information, you always start asking questions," Hoekstra told Fox News. "That's what raises red flags. What do they know that they don't want us to know?"

Hoekstra linked President Barack Obama's handling of Fort Hood to a chain of other GOP criticisms of the president, including the administration's treatment of detainees and an investigation into possible CIA abuse.

"It is a political correctness that is making it unable for us to identify the real threat of homegrown terrorism," he alleged.

Hoekstra warned that "we have similar Hasans" in the country. The Michigan Republican has called for his committee to investigate the incident. Chairman Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas) has so far declined, preferring to wait for the conclusion of the joint FBI-Army investigation.

Obama has ordered a review of all intelligence on Hasan.
