It's time the PEOPLE take back control. DC is not for rock stars, but representatives who do what we require of them. Also, how about the conservative movement standing up for Chick-fil-A! How cool was that? The 1st Amendment was under attack, and we sent the gay mafia running for the hills. Think of Chick-fil-A as polling locations on Nov 6, 2012.” http://theblacksphere.net/ * Rasmussen: “A president’s Job Approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s Job Approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 46 percent of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. Fifty-two percent (52 percent) at least somewhat disapprove.” In the most recent presidential poll, Aug. 2-4, Rasmussen Tracking gave Romney a two-point lead with Obama at 45 percent and Romney at 47 percent. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html * Safeguard education in the Capistrano school district: candidates for school board will be introduced at an event on Thurs., Aug. 9, 5:30-8:30 p.m., San Juan Hills Golf Club, 32120 San Juan Creek Road, San Juan Capistrano. From the announcement: “Our upcoming Capistrano Unified School District (CUSD) election in November has particular impact for those with children in a CUSD school. Our district has voted to cut $51 million out of next year’s budget. This will mean larger class sizes and a three week reduction in the 2012 – 2013 school year. The importance of electing fiscally responsible candidates cannot be overstated. In addition, for those that are within the school district boundaries, our current board is bouncing around the idea of imposing a parcel tax on each homeowner to help offset the budget cuts. Whether you have a child in CUSD or you’re just a concerned voter, your voice counts – NOW more than ever! Current board members Ellen Addonizio and Sue Palazzo will deliver a State of the District address.” For more information, visit the website, http://www.holdcusdaccountable.org/ * Presidential Campaign slogans 1984 – “It’s morning again in America” – Ronald Reagan 1984 – “America needs a change” – Walter Mondale 1988 – “A kinder, gentler nation” – George H.W.
