Current Co-sponsors, Kim Ferguson, Susan Williams Gifford, Tim Whalen, Colleen Garry, Michael Moore, James Dwyer, Steven Howitt, Susannah Whipps Lee, Shawn Dooley

~ Rep Paul Frost (R) & Rep Keiko Orrall (R)
Summary: This bill prevents the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education from mandating that any school district in the Commonwealth follow the curriculum standards offered by Common Core State Standards. This bill also allows school districts to exempt themselves from the standardized exam known as the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC).

4.HD2404 An act relative to a PARCC Workgroup ~ Rep Brad Jones (R)
Current Co-Sponsors Keiko M. Orrall, Elizabeth A. Poirier, Sheila Harrington

Summary: This bill places a 3-year moratorium on PARCC and the use of high-stakes testing for 10th grade graduation, teacher evaluation, and school labeling. While MCAS may continue to be administered, it calls for a break in using MCAS as a graduation requirement, while a broad-based commission of stakeholders study the impact.

6.HD2564 An Act relative to parental opt-out of PARCC ~ Rep Donald Berthiaume (R)

Summary: Nullifies the 2010 vote of the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education adopting national education standards; i.e. the Common Core standards in English language arts and mathematics. In addition, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education shall conduct an examination of academic standards and then update and revise the existing frameworks and MCAS assessment. As part of the examination process, the governor shall appoint a special commission to be chaired by the lieutenant governor and whose members will consist of educators, teachers, administrators, school committee members, parents of students, and concerned citizens. That commission shall provide input and assist DESE in developing new standards that shall be submitted to the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education for final approval and adoption.

California….LARGEST INSANE ASYLUM IN THE WORLD

Interesting that the LA times did this. Lou Dobbs reported this on CNN and it cost him his job. The only network we would see this on would be FOX. All the others are staying away from it. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican this should be of great interest to you! Just One State – be sure and read the last part……

This is only one State……………..If this doesn’t open eyes, nothing will!

From the L.A. Times.

1. 40% of all workers in L.A. County ( L.A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.

3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.

5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.

6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.

7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.

8 Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.

9. 21 radio stations in L.A. are Spanish speaking.

10. In L.A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish. (There are 10.2 million people in L.A. County .)

(All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times)

Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ‘annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

We are fools for letting this continue.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

Send copies of this letter to at least two other people. 100 would be even better.

This is only one State……………If this doesn’t open your eyes nothing will, and you wonder why Nancy Pelosi wants them to become voters!

IF YOU DON’T AGREE JUST DELETE–IF YOU DO–PASS IT ON! WHERE DO WE GET THESE MORONS?

Windfall Tax on Retirement Income Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you’re so darn stupid that we’re going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you. Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income. In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. This woman is a nut case! You aren’t going to believe this.

Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds!

Alas, it is true — all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities! This woman is frightening. She quotes…’ We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn’t Marx say something like this?), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest. (I am not rich, are you?)

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:

‘We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities. For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities. Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as ‘Americans”.

(Read that quote again and again and let it sink in.) ‘Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it.’ Send it on to your friends. I just did! This lady is out of her mind!!!!!

AND OBAMA WANTS TO GIVE THEM AMNESTY!!!!!!!

CALL AND/OR WRITE YOUR STATE, FEDERAL SENATORS, CONGRESSMAN REPRESENTATIVES AND START DEMANDING CHANGES BECAUSE THEY WILL NEVER DO IT ON THEIR OWN – THEY REPRESENT THEMSELVES, NOT YOU, NOT ME, JUST THEMSELVES!

IN GOD WE TRUST

So Obama Isn’t Muslim, Huh

Much of what’s on this video you may have seen over the past six plus years…but this video brings so many of Obama’s very words from the past together in such a way…that makes it an absolute impossibility for any rational thinking individual to draw any conclusion other than…in his heart he is a muslim…plain and simple. While you watch and listen to his words contemplate his decisions over the last six and a half years and most importantly his most recent ones and factor his own words into his actions and see if they don’t make more sense as to why he made the decisions he has made. He does not want to harm his own….Not us…His muslim brothers and sisters.

Virtual State of the Union 2013

In this amazing video Virtual President Bill Whittle explains in clear concise term, with unequivocal data, the fallacies of the gun control movement and the real reason we have a second amendment. It’s not to hunt, it’s not to protect us from criminals, it’s not even so we can protect ourselves from foreign terrorists. Watch this video and it all becomes strikingly clear.

While you are watching, will someone please ask Nancy Palosi to explain the difference between a semi-automatic assault weapon and a regular gun? I can’t figure it out. Neither can anyone else. Seven states have attempted to define “Assault Weapons” yet they all define them differently.

As far as I can tell, the main difference between my wimpy 22 and an assault rifle is how they look.

Assault weapons look mean, menacing, deadly. They have pistol grips, scopes, large magazines and often come in your choice of black or camo. The problem is that the brown wood 22 caliber semi-automatic rifle I use for shooting cans looks much more benign. It has no scope, no magazine hanging down, no pistol grip or shoulder strap, but, it holds more bullets than your “assault rifle” and it shoots just as fast. So, the problem is . . .

What exactly is the problem? As Bill Whittle explains in this video, politicians want to talk about gun control rather than crime control, and they so willingly ignore refuting data and the laws of our land in favor of their own personal agenda.

There is a reason the second amendment is second. Watch this video as factual evidence and historical truths make a bullet-proof case for the Second Amendment self-evident.
