Why August 2nd?

July 11th, 2011

For the next couple of weeks, it appears the only thing our government will do is posture over how and who should be taxed, and how much and what for our tax dollars should be spent with the impeding doom of reaching the debt ceiling the catalyst for whatever change will happen.

Reaching the debt ceiling means the Treasury can no longer borrow funds to pay for appropriations set by congress. I think I read somewhere that 44% of spending would have to be stopped, immediately. Not being able to borrow more would leave only enough revenue to pay the interest on the current debt with a little left over to ensure Veteran’s, Medicare and Social Security programs continue (must keep the number one voting block in America, the Seniors, as happy as possible), but just about everything else will go unfunded, (Read the rest of the article…)

Project Valour-IT 2011

July 1st, 2011

This year, from today to the 14th of July, we must pool our resources and truly help and assist our Wounded Warriors. With Soldier’s Angels Project Valour-IT, there is no better direct contribution to their well-being that you can make beyond handing your resources directly to them. You see, Project Valour-IT is a 100%, absolutely no administrative cost deducted, donation to the cause – that is a rare occurrence, as I’m sure you’ll agree.

Over the years, more than 6000 of our Wounded Warriors have benefited from the donations made to Project Valour-IT, but, sadly, many more than 6000 could have benefited if only there was more money available.

What is Project Valour-IT?
