Read this one carefully and all the way through please... When I first started reading it I kind of shrugged my shoulders, a subsidy ends, could be good news... While I'm not real hot on subsidies, and maybe I'd like to find a different way to do this without them (that said without really looking into the history and details), it's another massive shift to government control of yet another area. Put this on your list of "watch and research".
Bill Would End U.S. Subsidy For Lenders of College Aid
9/17/09 The federal government would end its four-decade practice of subsidizing private lenders that make college loans under a bill the House took up Wednesday that would steer tens of billions of dollars in savings to student aid over the next decade.
Republicans and the lending industry say the bill would engineer a risky shift in higher-education finance that could prove costly to taxpayers and diminish quality of service to borrowers. But Democrats and the Obama administration say the government could save an estimated $80 billion by ending a subsidy system that they contend benefits banks rather than students...

Slide show from Atlanta Tea Party
Time has gotten away from me --- I have video from the Tea Party but haven't had a chance to move it to the computer, much less edit it all. So, I grabbed a bunch of the photos I took and put together a slide show. Nothing fancy.
That's not me in the photo, just thought it was cool. I may have to dress up for the July 4th Tea Party!
Here's the link if you'd like to see the photos:

Tea Party Mania
What a day yesterday! Locally we had a small noon-time Tax Day Tea Party in Peachtree City that attracted somewhere between 400 - 500. Not bad for a small town. I headed downtown for the Atlanta Tea Party. The energy was fantastic. I was right behind Sean Hannity which was very cool. I got to see Joe the Plumber, John Rich and others fairly closely. Two different stages were set up, one for the non-TV speakers, one for Fox News / Sean Hannity Show.
I've been watching the news, which I usually try not to do given the blatant bias. I'm sure you've all heard Pelosi's sneering disdain and Gibbs' belittling comments. Arrgggg... Then there's the complete misrepresentation by the mainstream media of the numbers who turned out. One reporter practically attacked someone she was interviewing (I just heard about that one, guess I'll have to scan the blogs to find out more).
Here in Atlanta we had over 15,000 peaceful tea baggers. The Atlanta Journal Constitution reported we had a thousand at the same time we were making the 10,000 mark. Today's paper says thousands showed up avoiding the numbers. Typical, typical.
Ah well. Sometimes I wish I subscribed to some of these msn newspapers and magazines just so I could cancel.
One thing that is coming through loud and clear reading Homeland Security's description of a home-grown terrorist, seeing the coverage of events like the Tea Party, hearing comments by White House spokepersons... they are trying to paint us into an ugly corner.
More and more of us are going to be needed to ensure that they don't and can't stop the peaceful dissent. We watch. We vote. We need to do more. We need to continue to network and learn to work together.
I'll be sharing photos and videos on the Fayette Front Page (.com) and our Read My Lipstick Network website. If you have photos you'd like to share from your Tea Party, please email in jpg format. Love to have 'em!
(I was going to share some photos, but blogger is acting up... maybe later).
Here's my early morning post in one of my blogs:
One word for Atlanta Tea Party: Wow!
One word to describe it in the title, but a lot more in this short post! I'm one tired puppy right now but I had to share as I guzzle my morning caffeine. We had a blast yesterday at the Atlanta Tea Party. I didn't get home until close to midnight, then I had to watch the midnight Hannity repeat to see what I'd missed! Yawn and double yawn...

Blogabout
Thought we'd start doing some blog-abouts, things you may have missed and might want to blog about. We're going to try and find articles and news that are brand new or not getting a lot of attention. We'll be doing them on the Read My Lipstick Network blog and the Completely Conservative Network blog. We won't double post, so there will be different topics on Completely Conservative. Let us know if you find our blogabouts helpful. Send us a blog post where you've used one of our blogabout topics and we'll highlight your blog on here with credit, links, etc., etc.
Here are today's:
AP Newsbreak: Obama looks at climate engineering
The president's new science adviser said Wednesday that global warming is so dire, the Obama administration is discussing radical technologies to cool Earth's air. John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month that the idea of geoengineering the climate is being discussed. One such extreme option includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays. Holdren said such an experimental measure would only be used as a last resort.

Latest Release from W.A.M.
Wake Up America Movement sends out "Tsunami Alerts" with information, talking points and usually a press release to their list about once a week (unless issue hits the burner and sizzles). If you'd like to receive the info, visit www.wam08.org and sign up for their free info.
One thing to note is that once you've signed up for releases, if you use the info and send an email to W.A.M., they note your blog on their site. Very nice reciprocal friend to have (plus they're fired up and working hard to fix and / or save our country).
Release for your use (in total, partial or use it to spur your own thoughts).
Mr. Obama Goes Abroad Again, International Skills Still Sorely Lacking
"Islam has shaped the world for the better, including in the United States." It must be true, because Barack Hussein Obama spoke those words in Turkey today, to a large Muslim audience over Al Jazerra TV. He also said that the "U.S. is not at war with Islam and will never be."
Jihadists will be so relieved to hear that. These statements were spoken the same day that Secretary Gates presented an austere military budget to Congress in the face of massive domestic expenditures to radically and rapidly provide new advantages to the "underprivileged."
MSNBC's commentator assured viewers that Obama's new view of the U.S. and its relationship to the Muslim world is being received with widespread approval and reflects the majority US view on this matter. Said commentator also pointed to Obama's great advantage in having "Muslim" relatives. Evidently, no one has explained to this pseudo-journalist that to have Muslims in your family is like being "a little bit Jewish" - which is, itself, like being a "little bit pregnant" - ie, these modifiers all describe a condition that does not exist. If you are pregnant, Jewish or Muslim, you simple are. Period. Isn't it odd that the same Presidential candidate who attacked any opponent for falsely claiming he is Muslim - or even referring to his own middle name, Hussein - now wears his affinity for the Muslim world on his sleeve for all the world to see?
That Obama indeed has a Muslim heritage is long an established fact. However, his inability to accurately assess overseas reactions to his public presentations could be a danger to us all. Witness his full depth body bow and kiss on the hand of Saudi Arabian leader below. It doesn't take a body-language expert to read those gestures. When combined with the language of his televised speech above- and insipid overlooking of North Korea's aggression toward our Japanese allies, an undeniable signal is being sent - and it is not one of strength or leadership.
Link to video of 2 Bows here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr6SiXRm6po
Also today, North Korea's of a missile over Japan was responded to with harsh words by Obama - but little else to back them up. As a North Korea expert on Lou Dobbs tonight pointed out, the tepid US reaction to North Korea's flagrant UN violations is perceived by their Communist government - and the leadership of their ally, China, as further signs of U.S. weakness.
While closer to home, it was announced today that, within 10 days, travel visas to Cuba will relax considerably. Bear in mind this is the same Cuba that is currently making plans for weaponry support off its coast by China, treacherously close to Florida's shoreline. Simultaneously Cuba's new Castro works closely with Chavez, who has been making plans for his dictator led country to receive similar support - off the Venezuelan coast - by none other than Russia.
It's now glaringly apparent, however unfortunate, that Joe Biden got it right in his puzzling, controversial pre-election statement. He stated that within 6 months of an Obama administration a danger to the U.S. would be posed from abroad and Americans would not be pleased with Obama's response. Lest any forget, mark his words and this post. An unconscious U.S. is now being surrounded with building military maneuvers by adversaries at the same time Obama- whether due to lack of judgment or lack of interest - signals these same adversaries that the U.S. is now humble, apologetic and ready to defer to their interests. . . . so countdown is 3 months down and less than 3 more to go.
Just days earlier, Obama assured the G20 - which offered no compliance of its own with his requests - that the US will comply with their demands for international controls to be placed on U.S. banks and related industries. This didn't seem to concern him either. Could be he was still basking in the glow of the UK Queen's gracious receipt of an ipod, loaded in advance with videos of his speeches, in case she missed some of them. Curtsy due same Queen for her finesse in restoring her equilibrium and grace after being unexpectedly manhandled by Mrs. Obama. Faux pas in Britain, apologias elsewhere and full bows to Islam.... and Main Stream Media wags on commending how Obama is recovering a US image tainted by an inept, distant Bush. There must be some humor in this . . . at least for a few more months to the countdown on our sovereignty, economic prosperity and national security.
We can only suppose that Congress and MSNBC will appear to be appropriately surprised!

New Conservative Network: Completely Conservative
We receive a lot of requests from conservatives wanting to join the Read My Lipstick Network who don't write about politics. They write about health, faith, being a mom, home schooling, daily life and other subjects, all from a conservative viewpoint.
To be a member of the Read My Lipstick Network blog content must be at least 90% political. We have to turn away some great conservatives simply because they may keep up with politics, they may vote the right way and live the conservative life, but they have blogs that only contain a smattering of political talk, if any.
So, after batting it around for a while, we've decided to start up another, an additional, as separate, conservative network called "Completely Conservative".
We are NOT doing away with the Read My Lipstick Network and it will remain our main focus.
Completely Conservative will include political blogs, but it will also include blogs about various aspects of life written BY conservatives. Life from a conservative point of view if you will.
We're setting up the blogroll and have a logo already, plus we have a blog (completely empty at the moment, http://completelyconservative.blogspot.com ;-)
If you are a member of the Read My Lipstick Network and would like to join Completely Conservative, please send an email to readmylipstick at live dot com. We'll zap you the info on the blogroll and / or logo location so you can add it to your blogs. We know you're all conservatives, so you're automatically approved.

McCain: People voted 'mostly for Sarah Palin' last year
Former Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain has no illusions about the 2008 White House race.
"God bless them," McCain said Thursday at the Heritage Foundation when reminded of the tens of millions of people who voted for him last year.
"Over 50 million people voted for me and Sarah Palin - mostly for Sarah Palin," McCain said to an eruption of laughter. But "there was a sizable majority of the other party returned to Congress. And, elections have consequences. Elections have consequences. And these consequences we are seeing now in full display."

Introducing our newest members!
First a short "programming note" - In a previous post I shared info on the upcoming Values Voter Summit. I was working from a printed copy of the flyer and missed the comment "invited speakers include" above all the names. Based on those who spoke last year (http://www.frcaction.org/index.cfm?c=VVS ) I'm going to guess that pretty much all of those I mentioned will probably accept. As I noted in my previous post, I'm waiting on the official press release (I called them this morning & asked to be added to the list). I'll keep you updated!
---
Some of these are fairly new blogs! Love it when more people choose to start blogging conservative. Given there are six new members I've chosen to include some of their posts rather than try to describe each for you. Please visit. Please let them know you visited. Please follow as many as you possibly can.

What's the difference between a liberal and conservative protester?
The difference between a liberal and a conservative protester is that liberals get paid to protest. Conservatives do it from the heart and mind without pay.

More New Members of the Read My Lipstick Network
Four great new blogs have joined our ranks.
http://www.recoverycountdown.com/ - Recovery Countdown
Isn't the name hopeful? Positive? This is a cool site. I think many of our bloggers and readers are going to be checking this one frequently as it's chocked full of great articles, tips and news.
http://stixblog.com/ - Stix Blog
Loved the "Dear President Obama" letter. I found myself scrolling down to read every single cartoon on the page.
http://www.pal2pal.com - Pal 2 Pal
Seasoned opinion with an attitude and sometimes a wink. I found myself reading one post, then heading to the next.
http://www.runsarah2012.blogspot.com/ Sarah Palin for President 2012
I may have already told you about this phenomenal blog. It's late, I'm way behind on everything and I'd rather tell you about it twice than overlook it. Excellent blog. Love the top banner, too.
I hope you'll all go visit, say hello, read and comment on the blogs, and follow those that interest you. I know it's not possible to follow all of our members. I try!

Drum roll please... the 150th member joins the Network!
Seems like just a few short months ago we were thrilled to have ten members. Oh wait, it was just a few short months ago! The Read My Lipstick Network came into being during the latter part of the 2008 election cycle. We've lost a few blogs along the way as some who fought for McCain/Palin got discouraged after the election. Temporarily! They'll be back. For every one discouraged blogger a hundred seem to be taking up the cause these days. The energy is fantastic.
Today I announce our 150th member! Fireworks please! Drum roll! 150 gun salute. Whatever. It's neat.
Our newest member is cool with shades. She wears 'em day and night as you'll see when you check out her blog.
Rosie Shades - http://rosieshades.blogspot.com/
I love the shades and I particularly like the background in remembrance of Sept. 11th. She has some very neat stuff on the sidebar (including our blogroll), too.
If you'll scroll down her blog entries you'll see the "Honk if you're paying my mortgage" bumper sticker with a link so you can get your very own. (I want one that says "Honk if I'm paying your mortgage")
Enough about all the extras. You're going to like her writing, too!
Here are a few samples:
Modern Day Eugenics
Welcome to the world of Progressive Eugenics...
Here's a great little tutorial on eugenics if you're not familiar with it.
This new executive order reversing the ban on taxpayer funded research on humans, coupled with the plan Obama has for creating government funded/socialized medicine makes me wonder what these progressives have in mind. It all seems OK as long as you're not the one that's targeted. Right now it's embryos. It's not the first time we've removed morality from science and plunged headlong into ideas that were un American and ungodly at the expense of the innocent so don't kid yourself into believing we're immune.
The Bubbly Fed
There never should have been a central/federal bank in the united states. That was something our founders had fled from. Seeing that the government thinks they can do everything more productively than we can, it hustled in the Federal Reserve bank to supposedly end inflation forever. As usual, the government failed.If you haven't studied up about the Federal reserve bank and the reason we were forced to leave the gold standard, you should.

Change in Membership "Rules"
We're making a slight change in the requirements for membership: The RMLN linking logo or blogroll must be displayed in the top third of the member blog or website.
We expend a lot of effort promoting our member blogs, sharing your columns on other blogs, maintaining and paying for websites, keeping up with membership lists, blogrolls, etc. We do it simply to "help the cause" --- there's no money involved in this for us and every single one of us working on the RMLN do it without any expectation of ever making a penny.
When the blogroll or linking logo is displayed in the basement of a page, it's not doing what it was designed to do --- help promote every Network member equally. It's an unfair partnership. Those with the logo or blogroll prominently displayed are promoting everyone else's blogs while those with the logo or blogroll hidden somewhere are not reciprocating.
Of course, another reason for displaying the logo/blogroll is to help grow membership in the Network, which in turn helps get more attention for all member's blogs.
If you have the Read My Lipstick Network blogroll or logo off in never-never land somewhere, please be nice, fair, helpful and move it up on the page. We're changing all our info to reflect the change.
We're hearing from various circles that the Network is getting ready to be promoted like crazy. Yahoo!
We hope you're proud to be a member of the Network and that you'll proudly display the logo or blogroll.

Conservatism for a Millennial Joins the Read My Lipstick Network
I'm beginning to think that I could give up work and do nothing but read our member's blogs! We have the best of the best on our list and we're adding more every day. I am inspired by all of you who care enough to share your thoughts, research hot topics, design blogs, network and do all of the other things you do for our country and to protect our values.
Here's another fantastic new blog member:
Conservatism for a Millennial
http://www.truthfullyright.blogspot.com/
A twenty-something wises up.
Palin lovers are going to love Anne's blog! Conservatives in general are going to love it, too. She has some great info and excellent insights in her posts that I think will attract quite a few of you as regular readers.
I just popped over to grab some of her writings and decided that I had to share the video that's on her current post. Here's the link so you can read what she has to say about it: Trig, Piper and Sarah: Filling Your Heart up with Joy
Here's another post that caught my eye:
Ed Rollins: "A Good Night for Sarah Palin"
Fellow GOP'ers: Chill on Jindal. Yes, he was off of his game last night, and talked like he was selling a ShamWow to 5 year olds, but don't count him out; don't tear him down because of one speech. He is a strength in the Republican Party - a smart, intuitive, progressive, young rising star. You don't attack those on your team. And we need all of the help we can get. However, I am on Team Palin, and I believe that anything Jindal does, she can do better...

Four new blogs join the Read My Lipstick Network
You are going to love this new group of bloggers who've joined our Network!
The Spyglass
http://the-spyglass.blogspot.com/
The author shares a "wandering eye over religion, politics, and other important matters". It's a great mix of conservative thought and an excellent blending of religion, politics and... other important matters".
The News Factor
http://TheNewsFactor.com
You're going to want to bookmark this great conservative news site. It's another blend with just the right kinda news. I'm adding it to my rss feed. Guarantee you'll like it.
Common Sense Conservatism
www.comebackconservatives.blogspot.com
As promised in the title, loads of common sense in this blog! I found myself reading every post, nodding my head in agreement, and wishing that there were more people with Laura's brand of common sense! Here's a sampling:
Mr. President, you need a lesson in Economics 101
The President just doesn’t understand economics and his policy team doesn’t seem to understand either. The markets like specifics and the Obama administration has yet to provide them with any...
A Republican come back?
The Republicans in the House took a giant risk against this new president by voting NO twice on the porkulus bill. It was a risk I think was worth taking...
Notoriously Conservative
www.notoriouslyconservative.com
Great blog! I got a kick out of the Twelve Step Program for Liberals. And, I'd been meaning to go check out the video of 14-year old Jonathan Krohn speaking at CPAC - it's on there. I watched. I will share with you on my personal blog later, long after you've visited Notoriously Conservative to see it!
---
I'm going to toss in another plug for Twitter. I "met" a few of the bloggers above on Twitter. It is a fantastic way to connect with other conservatives and to keep up with all the news. It can be a bit intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it you'll be hanging out on it.
You can set you blogs to feed to Twitter. And set Twitter to feed to Facebook. You maximize your writing efforts by utilizing all the various social networks you can find time for. In the upcoming election, in the days ahead as we're fighting tooth and nail for our country, we're going to need every tool imaginable. I strongly encourage you to stretch yourself and go beyond blogging if you're not already doing so.
Twitter, Facebook, and the various Ning sites are a few of the great ways to network.

Four Blogs Join the Read My Lipstick Network
You'll love the variety in the latest group of Read My Lipstick Network members! They almost go from one end of the spectrum to the other (in the conservative realm).
http://conservababeblog.wordpress.com/ - Conservababe
http://raisingeden.blogspot.com/ - Raising Eden
http://feedyouradhd.blogspot.com/ - Feed Your ADHD
http://palinforus.blogspot.com/ - Palin for Us
Be sure to stop by their blogs and say hi, welcome them to the Network and introduce yourself. One of the above blogs has some real cute grandkid pictures, one has a photo that will have you wondering if you're in the right place (don't send your kids), another has no photos but great words and one has some cool photos and videos of our favorite lady (gee, who could that be?).
Hope you'll follow as many of the Network blogs as you can. We're now at 144 members, hoping to hit 200 by the end of the month (looking like that might not happen given we're almost there and have 56 to go! We do have a couple in the pipeline, so maybe we'll at least hit 150!).
Thanks for your support. Keep reading, keep blogging and keep fighting for our country.

In case you're following Flake's anti-earmark Resolution
Update from the floor. Note they expect a motion to table:
We are in the midst of general debate on H.R. 1105 – Consolidated Appropriations for Fiscal Year 2009. At approximately 3:15 p.m. we expect to vote on final passage of H.R. 1105. We will then immediately proceed to the Flake (R-AZ) Privileged Resolution, and a likely vote on a Motion to Table will occur. We expect these to be the final votes for the day.
Following our last series of votes, the House is expected to proceed with up to forty minutes of consideration on today’s remaining suspension bill, H.Res. 183 - Expressing condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of the victims of the crash of Continental Connection Flight 3407. Any requested vote will be postponed until tomorrow.

Any requested vote will be postponed until tomorrow.
Blogroll update
Of course, since we have now moved away from using the blogroll, they're ready to go live on March 2nd. SO, anyone who has the blogroll on their site still, may as well leave it. We're going to give everyone the option of using the blogroll OR the logo in the future. If you've switched to the logo already, that's great just leave it there.
One advantage to having the blogroll has always been that it's great advertising for your blogs. People can scroll down the list and see other members, find cool blogs they want to follow. We have it set up so that each time the page is renewed it re-arranges the blog list so everyone has a shot at being displayed at the top.
When they go live on March 2nd AND we've updated the blogroll, I'll send out another message letting you know.
Sorry for all the back and forth! We've been held hostage for months with this and have been more frustrated than most of you probably.
