Since we're big fans of the 4Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rot)we decided to take the leap to cloth diapers using a local service Tiny Tots. Day 1 started with Morgan completely melting down when I tried to get the first diaper on. Great start huh? Eliza seems to be OK with them so far, but then again she smiles when she poops.
Justin is back to work after 59 days off to welcome Eliza Rose and is adjusting as well as can be expected. he still has people crying for no reason and demanding things they can do themselves, bu that's life in the Big City.
Let me climb up onto my soapbox for just a moment here...
Have you been following the elections? I hope so, there is a lot at stake this year. Two candidates who could not be more different. We support Barack Obama and hope you do too. Forget "party loyalty" this election cycle and focus on what matters to you.
Do you put your family first?
Barack Obama does. He proposes tax cuts for working families making less than $250,000 a year. John McCain wants to give more tax breaks to those making more than $2.5 million a year. he still considers them middle class.
Do you put your job first?
Barack Obama does. He wants to create more than 5 million new American jobs in green technologies, helping to break our dependence not just on foreign oil, but oil itself. John McCain favors tax breaks for oil giants like Exxon who receives more "earmarks" then John McCain could ever cut in the domestic budget. John McCain will also raise your taxes by allowing the IRS to tax your health care costs. Now those fees are "pre-tax." John McCain will get you to agree to this by offering you a $5000 tax credit for your medical insurance costs. Then you get to pay that back to the government over 10 years. In the end he only raised your taxes.
Do you put your faith first?
Barack Obama does. He is not a secret muslim, but a devout Christian. He does embody the ideals of the Christian faith by remaining true to his God and his family. John McCain met his wife Cindy while still married to his first wife and, in fact, committed a sin by commiting adultery. This is the sin listed right next to homosexuality, so it bears some weight here. If same sex couples are sinners, so is John McCain. If John McCain gets to marry after committing this sin, why not same sex couples?
Do you put your country first?
Barack Obama does. Patriot is defined as one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests. Barack Obama does cover his heart for the pledge of allegience, he even leads it from time to time. Barack Obama fights to get our troops out of harms way and while they are still trapped, makes sure they get what they need to be safe. John McCain opposes the GI Bill. John McCain opposes funding the VA to assist soldiers coming back with psychological injuries. John McCain opposes the same programs that he used after returning from Vietnam a wounded POW. John McCain has not voted in the Senate for over 120 days before their break. I miss 120 days of work, I get fired. What about you?
Do you put corporate profits first?
John McCain does. John McCain favors oil and insurance companies making BILLIONS more off of us, the weary consumers. Barack Obama will close tax loop holes allowing companies to dodge paying US taxes by using false PO boxes outside the US.
