In case you haven't heard about this guy before, his name will stick in
your mind!
The new Maine Governor, Paul
LePage is making New Jersey 's Chris Christie look timid. He isn't afraid
to say what he thinks. Judging by the comments, every time he opens his mouth, his
popularity goes up.
He brought down the house at his
inauguration when he shook his fist toward the media box and said, "You're
on notice! I've inherited a financially troubled State to run. Observe...cover
what we do..but don't whine if I don't waste time responding to your every whim
just for your amusement."
During his campaign for Governor, he
was talking to commercial fishermen who are struggling because of federal
fisheries rules. They complained that 0bama brought his family to Bar Harbor
and Acadia National Park for a long Labor Day holiday and found time to meet
with union leaders, but wouldn't talk to the fishermen. LePage replied,
"I'd tell him to go to hell and get out of my State." The Lame Stream
Media crucified LePage, but he jumped 6 points in the pre-election poll.
The Martin Luther King incident was
a political sandbag, which brought him national exposure. The 'lame stream'
media crucified him, but word on the street is very positive. The NAACP
specifically asked LePage to spend MLK Day visiting black inmates at the Maine
State Prison. He told them that he would meet with ALL inmates, regardless of race,
if he were to visit the prison. The NAACP balked and then put out a news
release claiming falsely that he refused to participate in any MLK events. He
read it in the paper for the 1st time the next morning while being driven to an
event and went ballistic because none of the reporters had called him for
comment before running the NAACP release.
He arrived at that event & said
in front of a TV camera, "If they want to play the race card on me they
can kiss my ass", and he reminded them that he has an adopted black son
from Jamaica and that he attended the local MLK Breakfast every year that he
was mayor of Waterville. (He started his morning there on MLK Day.)
He then stated that there's a right
way and a wrong way to meet with the Governor, and he put all special interests
on notice that press releases, media leaks, and all demonstrations would prove
to be the wrong way. He said any other group, which acted like the NAACP could
expect to be at the bottom of the Governor's priority list!
He then did the following, and
judging from local radio talk show callers, his popularity increased even more:
The State employees union complained because he waited until 3 P.M. before
closing State offices and facilities and sending non-emergency personnel home during
the last blizzard. The prior Governor would often close offices for the day
with just a forecast before the first flakes. (Each time the State closes for
snow, it costs the taxpayers about $1 million in wages for no work in return.)
LePage was CEO of the Marden's chain
of discount family bargain retail stores before election as governor. He noted
that State employees getting off work early could still find lots of retail
stores open to shop. So, he put the State employees on notice by announcing: "If
Marden's is open, Maine is open!"
He told State employees: "We
live in Maine in the winter, for heaven's sake, and should know how to drive in
it. Otherwise, apply for a State job in Florida !"
Governor LePage symbolizes what
America needs. Refreshing politicians who aren't self-serving and who exhibit
common sense.
THE LAW IS THE LAW!
I really love this one.
This is one of the better e-mails I
have received in a long time! I hope this makes its way around the USA several
times over!!!!! HERE IS WHAT Governor LaPage said,
"THE LAW IS THE LAW So
"if" the US government determines that it is against the law for the
words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it.
And "if" that same
government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in
or on a government installation, then, so be it.
I say, "so be it," because
I would like to be a law abiding US citizen
I say, "so be it," because
I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good
decisions.
I would like to think that those
people have the American public's best interests at heart.
BUT, he said, "YOU KNOW WHAT
ELSE I'D LIKE?
Since we
can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in
Government buildings, I don't believe Government (Federal, State and Local) and
its employees should participate in Easter and Christmas celebrations which
honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American
life.
I'd like my
mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all,
it's just another day.
I'd like
the" US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday,
Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just
another day.
I'd like
the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting
home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day.
I'm
thinking a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices
& services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't
cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a
government that is trying to be "politically correct."
In
fact....I think our government should work on Sundays (AFTER ALL, It was
initially set aside for worshipping God....) because, AFTER ALL, our government
says that it should be Just ANOTHER DAY...."
What do you all think???? If this
idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to
the "minority opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the
"majority" of ALL of the American people.
SO BE IT...........Please Dear Lord,
Give us the help needed to keep you in our country! 'Amen' and 'Amen' Touch!
If this gets around the country a
few times, I believe we all will see a better day!
