The Republic has a CONSTITUTION
We need this
Amendment 28
Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States .
Imagine what we could do if everybody passed this around

Armchair Traveler
On January 27, 1888, the National Geographic Society is founded in Washington, D.C., for "the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge."
The 33 men who originally met and formed the National Geographic Society were a diverse group of geographers, explorers, teachers, lawyers, cartographers, military officers and financiers. All shared an interest in scientific and geographical knowledge, as well as an opinion that in a time of discovery, invention, change and mass communication, Americans were becoming more curious about the world around them. With this in mind, the men drafted a constitution and elected as the Society's president a lawyer and philanthropist named Gardiner Greene Hubbard. Neither a scientist nor a geographer, Hubbard represented the Society's desire to reach out to the layman.
Nine months after its inception, the Society published its first issue of National Geographic magazine. Readership did not grow, however, until Gilbert H. Grosvenor took over as editor in 1899. In only a few years, Grosvenor boosted circulation from 1,000 to 2 million by discarding the magazine's format of short, overly technical articles for articles of general interest accompanied by photographs. National Geographic quickly became known for its stunning and pioneering photography, being the first to print natural-color photos of sky, sea and the North and South Poles

WHY ?
Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the
store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy
cigarettes at
the front?
Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet
coke?
Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the
counters?
Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and
put
our useless junk in the garage?
EVER WONDER...
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Why is it that doctors and attorneys call what they do 'practice'?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dish washing
liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why
don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff??
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
Hope you've smiled at least once
Have a happy day.

Worth the Watch
He flies 2 with his hands and the 3rd one is attached to his waist.
Enjoy!
You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite!
I would have those kites so tangled up, you could never get them separated again!
And of course, make sure the volume is turned up because the music is wonderful and totally reflects the soaring of the kites.
Beautiful.

Good Advice
Got this good advice today. Think we can get it done? :o)
Limit all US politicians to two terms.
One in office,
One in prison,
Illinois already does this.

This is Hilarious
$5.37!
That's what the kid behind the counter at Taco Bell said
to me.
I dug into my pocket and pulled out some lint and two
dimes and something
that used to be a Jolly Rancher.
Having already handed the kid a five-spot, I started to
head back out to the
truck to grab some change when the kid with the Elmo
hairdo said the hardest
thing anyone has ever said to me. He said,
"It's OK. I'll just give you the senior citizen
discount."
I turned to see who he was talking to and then heard the
sound of change
hitting the counter in front of me .
"Only $4.68 " he said cheerfully.
I stood there stupefied. I am 56, not even 60 yet? A
mere child!
Senior citizen?
I took my burrito and walked out to the truck wondering
what was wrong with Elmo.
Was he blind? As I sat in the truck, my blood began to
boil . Old? Me?
I'll show him, I thought. I opened the door and headed
back inside. I strode to the counter,
and there he was waiting with a smile.
Before I could say a word, he held up something and
jingled it in front of me,
like I could be that easily distracted! What am I
now? A toddler?
"Dude! Can't get too far without your car keys, eh?"
I stared with utter disdain at the keys. I began to
rationalize in my mind!
"Leaving keys behind hardly makes a man elderly!
It could happen to anyone!"
I turned and headed back to the truck.
I slipped the key into the ignition, but it wouldn't
turn. What now?
I checked my keys and tried another. Still nothing.
That's when I noticed the purple beads
hanging from my rear view mirror.
I had no purple beads hanging from my
rear view mirror.
Then, a few other objects came into focus:
The car seat in the back seat. Happy Meal toys spread
all over the floorboard.
A partially eaten dough nut on the dashboard.
Faster than you can say ginkgo biloba
, I flew out of the alien vehicle.
Moments later I was speeding out of the parking lot,
relieved to finally be leaving this nightmarish stop in my
life.
That is when I felt it, deep in the bowels of my stomach:
hunger!
My stomach growled and churned, and I reached to grab my
burrito,
only it was nowhere to be found.
I swung the truck around, gathered my courage,
and strode back into the restaurant one final time.
There Elmo stood, draped in youth and black nail polish.
All I could think was, "What is the world
coming to?"
All I could say was, "Did I leave my food and
drink in here"?
At this point I was ready to ask a Boy Scout to help me
back to my vehicle,
and then go straight home and apply for Social Security
benefits.
Elmo had no clue. I walked back out to the truck,
and suddenly a young lad came up and tugged on my jeans to
get my attention.
He was holding up a drink and a bag. His mother
explained,
"I think you left this in my truck by mistake."
I took the food and drink from the little boy and
sheepishly apologized.
She offered these kind words:
"It's OK. My grandfather does stuff like this all the
time."
All of this is to explain how I got a ticket doing 85 in a
40 mph zone.
Yessss , I was racing some punk kid in a
Toyota Prius.
And no, I told the officer, I'm not
too old to be driving this fast.
As I walked in the front door, my wife met me halfway down
the hall.
I handed her a bag of cold food and a $300
speeding ticket.
I promptly sat in my rocking chair and covered up my legs
with a blankey .
The good news was that I had successfully found my way
home.
Pass this on to the other "seniors" on your list (so
they can have fun laughing, too).
Notice the larger type?
That's for those of us who have trouble reading.
P.S. Save the earth...... It's the only planet with
chocolate !!!!!
