Merry Christmas!

I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful time together with family and friends. So often we take for granted the gifts that we have to enjoy all throughout the year.

As I was catching up on some emails and newsletters that I haven't had time to read, I noticed how many power companies signed contracts to purchase power from companies that either erected large wind turbines on privately owned or leased lands or solar arrays that also produce multiple megawatts of power.

Now forgive me if I seem a bit "dumb" by all this, but it seems to me that the best way to introduce that cleanly produced energy to the business and residential consumer would have been by placing the solar panels and or wind turbine(s) on the rooftops of the businesses and dwellings themselves, or at the very least, on the grounds of those occupancies.

I fail to see why it is a requirement that our tax dollars provide incentives for the very companies that enslave us all to them. Is it just me or do others see the lack of accountability toward the taxpayer in this?

For the Christian population, today represents the birth of Jesus, the gift of God the Creator to all humanity. So in that spirit, I too would like to offer a gift to the American People in the form of suggestion and a prayer.

First I suggest that you call, write, fax, attend a town hall meeting, and tell your Representatives in the House and Senate to vote "NO!" on this socialist health care bill now before them. This bill will do nothing but cause medical care to become a rationed government program, produce waits for routine examinations and treatment for months, and will limit the types of care a person may be entitled to based on their income, credit score, or even their age. Maybe the Congress did not read all the pages, which of course they need to BEFORE voting for it, but they didn't, but I read enough to know that it is a outrage that will make all Americans more encumbered to the government's policies.

Now may I offer my prayer:

I pray that Americans will awaken on January 1st, 2010 with a resolution to bring America back to the "Republic for which it stands, as one nation under God, with Liberty and Justice for All."

Liberty will only be had by those that remain vigilant to protect it.
