This is not Representation

Over the weekend, the US Federal Government proved once again that it has ceased to listen to the people of this nation. If you did not see this coming, you've been blind for quite a while. This "health care reform" is nothing more than big brother sticking his hand in, yet another pot, that it doesn't belong in. It is against the law, unconstitutional for the Federal Government to mandate that everyone has insurance. Make no mistake, this bill doesn't just allow you health care, it FORCES you to have health care. This bill also forces insurance companies to spend 85% of premiums paid, towards medical bills. It's unconstitutional for the government to tell businesses how to do business. What happened to the free market, where has capitalism gone? As a consumer of health care, I'd love to see premiums go down, I'd love to see the health insurance problem go away, but this does not help this go away. Your premiums will no raise, because of the 85% mandated, and also because, now a 26 year old adult, can remain on his parents health insurance. The gov't has mandated each insurance company that they HAVE to make this available to each policy holder. Lastly, there will be a government option, which in turn, will eventually put insurance companies out of business.
Make no mistake about what has happened. Congress and the White House has sold out the American people, we are no longer a Representative Democracy. Welcome to Socialism, America. I'm sure Ted Kennedy's day in hell is just a little bit cooler today!

first ever blog

I am new to this, but my future wife started one a while back, and I think it's pretty cool. I'm not sure who will read it, but I'm going to write one anyway. There are 11 days until I get married, which is crazy to even think about. I'm so excited about starting my life with Kacey and being a great husband to her. But, I'm terrified at the same time. I guess, because for so long, it's just been me. I've never had to protect and comfort and worry too much about anyone else. Sure, I've done those things but, not to the extent of marriage. Now, Kacey will rely on me for support, love, leadership, and a host of other things. While I feel like I'm up to the task, there is something about taking that plunge that is nerve racking. I've never been a nervous person. I've never been the type of person to worry about things. I've always been a go with the flow type of person. But, recently I have been unable to sleep well. Which I...

Fridays

Being a football junkie, I live for the weekend during the fall even more so than I do any other time of the year. I think we can all agree that the weekends are the best, but during football season, nothing compares. Well, the school I'm coaching at now, has started out well. Surprisingly to some, we've started 2-0. We won our first game 34-0, and our second 32-22. The score seems closer than the actual game was. We had a commanding 26 point lead at halftime. Anyway, today's post is not just about high school football, it's about much more. It's about what football means to me, not as a coach, but as a person. Growing up, my dad played football with me all the time. He taught me how to catch, how to run, how to throw. He taught me routes and plays. He was also responsible for taking me to the local high school games on Friday nights. Unlike most of the little people, who were running around together, I sat patiently beside my dad. Eager to see the next ...

Letters to my son(Joshua) #1

In the weeks and months leading up to my first child being born, I wrote letters to him.  Before I even knew the gender of the baby I wrote to "it".  I wrote about any number of things, the most popular topic was about family members.  I told him about each of my parents, his mom, my best friend (Jon), Kacey's parents, and even his two grandmothers on my side.  Since he arrived in late July 2012 a ton of changes have come our way.  Along with those changes there are the challenges of raising a son, work, school, football, and life!  So, I haven't had time to write much to him.  That changes today: Joshua, It has been a really long time since I sat down and actually wrote anything.  I miss writing to you, but, I have not forced myself to take the time to do it.  Today is Oct 1, 2014.  You are 26 months old and just last week you found out you were going to be a big brother!  At first you were excited, now, I think you're realizing ...
