The Pinch

Call your elected officials at the state capitol this week 

Tell them to Work on Balancing the Budget by making the cuts that are needed instead of cutting services that help our families.

Now is the time for our elected officials to get to work towards starting the much needed downsizing of our government. 

They can start by cutting the extra expenses that they have forced us to pay for like big cuts to the CEP Program. 

The CEP aka Citizens Election Program gives taxpayer money to the candidates that have "qualified" by raising certain levels of money. The amount varies by race & party but the amounts are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for state senate & state rep positions & in the millions for the statewide races.

That money can be better spent making certain that we have the needed services for the families that are needed to meet Basic Needs.

Senator Tony Hwang Interviews Champagne Joy

Senator Tony Hwang spent some time interviewing "Champagne Joy" about surviving cancer earlier this year.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month & I thought that this video was a positive message to end the month of September with a positive note from a survivor as we head into October. 

Will I see you wearing Pink this coming month? 

Fox News and Google present the 7th Republican Debate

To make certain that the most voters possible can view the debates 
GOP, Fox News & Google have teamed up to livestream the #GOPDebates
The first debate starts at 7pm eastern & the 2nd starts at 9pm eastern

The 2nd debate is steeped in controversy because Donald Trump is holding an event instead of attending the debate...

For some reason it's ok for Rand Paul to not attend a debate on the small stage but not ok for Donald Trump to not attend which actually benefits Rand Paul because it gives him the missing spot

Here's some predebate funnies...

GOP Debate: The Rap

It's almost time for the next #GOPDebate... so lets have some fun while we wait for the real fun to begin. 

Are you going to be attending a #DebateWatchingParty ? 
I had the fun of watching the last debate with a group of classmates. It was quite fun to be in a room full of people laughing, commenting, booing & on occasions gasping.

All the while our group were actively playing on our various social media arenas chit chatting about what was being said both online as well as offline among us.

Grab some friends & have some fun getting educated about the candidates & watch the culling of the field. Pay attention to the moderators & their line of questioning.

Will it be another beat up on Trump event or will this debate be about asking actual questions to get to what the candidates actually have for a plan to #MakeTheUSAGreatAgain ?

We have lost 2 candidates since the last debates, both former governors Rick Perry & Scott Walker have closed up their campaigns. So with Carly F. moving up to the big stage there were only 4 men on the stage for the #HappyHourDebate2 . That debate was not watched by as many people  as were watching the 1st one... from the sounds of it there may not be a #HappyHourDebate3 ? 

Maybe with so many people on the "Big Stage" instead of having 11 they can cut the field to 12 being allowed to debate & split it 6 to 6 on stage? 
Let the poll choices be the guide we already know the bottom 4 need to sort out who is going to remain & the least favored in the polls from the remaining 10 on the big stage. 
Poll rankings since the debates started should be the guide to pick the top 12.
