I am thinking of running for President. It’s time for a Change. Here is my Manifesto of Twenty-five. What do you think? 1. There will be no special bilingual programs in the schools. Will provide outside English training opportunities for preschool at cost. Your children may start public school when they can understand and speak English at their level. 2. All ballots will be in English. 3. All government business will be conducted in English. 4. Non-citizens will NOT have the right to vote no matter how long they are here. 5. Non-citizens will NEVER be able to hold political office. 6. Foreigners will not be a burden to the…

We now feel we are complete. We had three kids of our own, a 19 year old daughter and 16 year old boy/girl twins. Its always said two’s company and three’s a crowd; but I must add the four’s a party! We learned of our new son through our kids over four years ago. He was new to their school, coming to our area as a foster child. He and my son became instant friends. His…

  Best friend, sometimes only friend. Often ignored, occasionally despised, you never failed to meet me with nuzzle to hand & wag of tail. Your love was never ending, your trust in me complete. Today for your own good, to stop the pain & to ease the suffering, I broke that trust, & my heart. I could see in your eyes as I turned away in tears, that you did not understand why I forsake you.
