Cat Saves Woman From Pit Bull Attack

Written By Miranda Caverley

When I saw This video I had to share it. I had a calico cat named TC when I was a little girl TC was born in Kentucky on my Great Grandma's farm. My Grandpa brought her back to Ohio where we live TC was pretty wild and always did have a wild streak in her. But she was the best cat I ever had. And watching this story about this calico cat saving its' owners life brought back memories of my cat.

TC lived to be 19 years old in human years and died of old age. I have not had another cat that ever lived that long or was that smart but she was my little companion. I remember when I was in school she also knew what time the school bus would drop me off and there she would be waiting for me and my sister to meet us. TC is sorely missed but it is great to remember the good times that I had with her.

I am sure this woman will never forget her cat either after this event. Whoever said animals don't have feelings was completely wrong!

Note: If you are wondering what the initials TC Stand for...They really stand for nothing. TC was just what we called her but sometimes I would tell people they stood for "Top Cat" as a joke.

Assistant State Attorney/Army Veteran Fired For Speaking At Tea Party Rallies

Former Live Oak prosecutor KrisAnne Hall

When an assistant state attorney in Florida spoke at several tea-party rallies about her beliefs and the Constitution, her boss, a prominent Democrat, fired her – but now protesters are taking to the streets to get her job back.

Former Live Oak prosecutor KrisAnne Hall, was ousted May 24 by Democrat Robert "Skip" Jarvis, state attorney for the Third Judicial Circuit of Florida, after he said she refused to stop speaking at tea-party rallies, on the radio and to the Suwannee County Republican Executive Committee.

Hall, a 40-year-old mother and U.S. Army veteran who describes herself as a "constitutional originalist" and "fan of American Revolutionary history," sought an injunction in federal court to allow her to continue speaking. Three days later, Jarvis received the motion and fired her. Now Hall is suing, claiming her First Amendment rights have been violated.

"I shouldn't have to trade my constitutional rights for a paycheck," she told Florida's Fox 30 News. "If we don't learn why we have the Constitution that we have, we are doomed to repeat the history that brought it to us."

Tea partiers rally for fired prosecutor

The North Central Florida 9/12 Project called an 11 a.m. "free speech" rally outside Jarvis' office in Live Oak, telling tea-party protesters to "bring your signs and let people know that you are standing up for our constitutionally guaranteed right of freedom of speech."

Hall spoke to WND while the rally was taking place.

"There are about 100 people," she said. "I'm really impressed because that's good for our little town. They've come from as far as Tallahassee."

According to her request for an injunction, Hall had made an appearance on a local radio program and "addressed a variety of issues of public concern, including constitutional originalism, the legal dispute between the State of Florida and the federal government over the recent national health care bill and the threat posed by large federal budget deficits."

The Gainesville Tea Party released a copy of Hall's April speech to its group, noting that she spoke about the Constitution, the Founding Fathers and the importance of informing and educating oneself.

Hall claims she didn't discuss cases handled by the state's attorney's office during her speaking engagements, and she was introduced only as an attorney with expertise in constitutional matters. Hall also explained that she spoke at the events on her own time as a private citizen – not an employee of the state's attorney's office.

"I never said anything bad about my office," she told WND. "I never said anything bad about my boss. I never talked about my cases."

She added, "When I stand up to speak, I don't consider myself a motivational speaker. I consider myself a teacher. That's why I was asked to come and speak on the Constitution, based on the perspective of our Founding Fathers and blend it with current events. I think that's what my speeches did."

Disciplinary action for speaking at tea parties

Hall is not the first person to face disciplinary action for speaking at tea-party events. The Rapid City Journal reported KOTA-TV anchorman Shad Olson was suspended last month with pay after he appeared as a featured speaker at a tea-party rally in South Dakota.

Olson's supervisors called his appearance "an ethical lapse" and took him off the air.

Olson said he spoke at the event because "I want people to fall back in love with their country based on what the founding principles are and the legacy left by the people who fought and bled and died to establish America on this continent."

Olson was not fired, but he submitted his resignation following the incident. He said he plans to host a radio talk show and work as a paid political consultant.

"I've handed in my resignation," he said. "In the wake of everything that happened, I just kind of felt it was time to do something else. I'm done as of today."

When did exercising our Rights of Freedom of Speech become an excuse for employers to fire someone? How can someone fire you for standing up for freedom and our Constitution?

We follow the Tea Party Movement but are not involved with it. We believe that those who are apart of the Tea Party Movement have the right to make their voices heard and express their concerns about the road our Country is currently heading down.

I thought we were trying to stop the unemployment rate in America not help raise it by firing people without cause just because they share their thoughts and concerns about our Government and Country.

In the past 2 years we have covered more stories of people being fired because they stood for values and morals.

We covered a story about a young man who was fired from Home Depot because he wore a tiny little button pin on his vest that said "One Nation Under God". (to read this article type "Home Depot" in the search bar above)

These are just 2 examples of what is going on in our Country and we must fight to stop this injustice!

Judge Rules It Unconstitutional To Have Graduation Ceremony In Church

Click to read full story from Fox News

A Connecticut School District's showdown with the American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State has come to end -- at least for a year.

With the clock ticking, the Enfield School Board voted 5-4 Thursday night not to appeal a preliminary injunction by U.S. District Judge Janet Hall, who ruled Monday that it was unconstitutional for the district's two high schools to hold their commencement ceremonies at a church.

The vote means the schools will hold their 2010 graduation ceremonies on school grounds.

"We're quite pleased about the vote," said Alex Luchenitser, senior litigation counsel for Americans United for Separation of Church and State. "The board did the right thing to help the students in the community put this behind them. It allows the schools and the principals to finalize graduation instead having plans up in the air. We want to assure every student can enjoy the graduation without it becoming very divisive.”

But his opponent in the case was far from pleased with the school board's vote.

"I was shocked. I was stunned," said Vincent McCarthy, the attorney with the American Center for Law and Justice. "I thought the decision was pro forma. We had a good chance."

School Board Chairman Greg Stokes was also surprised. Up until the start of Thursday night's meeting, he'd gotten assurances from five board members that they would vote for the appeal.

"The plan was to vote to appeal then work on the backup plan just in case," Stokes said. "I don't know what happened."

Jordan Sekulow, an attorney with the Center for Law and Justice, had felt all along that the case was winnable and that Judge Hall did not consider two similar cases that ruled in favor of the school districts. "This kind of case can go all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court where it impacts every school district, and that's why it's important," Sekulow said.

Enfield was one of five school districts in Connecticut that planned to hold commencement ceremonies for its high schools at First Cathedral, a megachurch in Bloomfield with state-of-the-art facilities, plenty of legroom and ample parking.

School Board president Greg Stokes says, "When they (the school board) narrowed it down, we came to conclusion as a board that First Cathedral was the right place for the right price.... one-stop shopping."

Stokes said the Enfield football field was off limits because the newly installed Astroturf required a protective covering. (Failure to protect the turf would nullify its warranty.) The small gym would allow only two tickets per students, and there's no air conditioning -- a cause for concern in late June. But now that the board has decided not to appeal, the gym will be the likely site.

Enfield wasn't the only school district singing the praises of First Cathedral.

"We had a great ceremony there," said Mary Alice Dwyer Hughes, chairwoman of the East Hartford School Board. She said the parents loved it and "the kids got a great ceremony."

Last fall the ACLU sent out letters to each of the five districts telling them that if they continued with plans to hold graduations at the church, they would be in violation of the Constitution's establishment clause and that the ACLU would take legal action.

Four of the schools heeded the warning and dropped their plans. Enfield, which has two high schools, stayed the course -- but only after being assured by the Center for Law and Justice that it would handle the legal costs.

On Thursday, the Enfield board voted not to appeal because it wanted to give the students certainty about the location of their commencement. The decision was met by loud boos and jeers from parents and students who packed the meeting.

Must be nice to be the ACLU and American Civil Liberties Union and Americans United for Separation of Church and State. All they have to do is make complaints and sue to stop those trying to give these children a nice graduation at a church. A church that has been used many times by many schools because they don't have the accommodations at the school. So now hundreds of people will be crammed into a small gymnasium with no air conditioning in Summer to see their children graduate from high school. I think those on the ACLU and American Civil Liberties Union should be forced to sit in that Gym in the squelching heat and cramped space to see how their hard work and persecution of others has turned out.

I think it should be up to the school and graduates where they hold the graduation and if they want to hold it in a church, or any other place let them do it. All the ACLU and American Civil Liberties is, is a bunch of Communist Marxists that will stop at nothing to take away our rights and liberties until they bully and scare everyone into submission and silence.

They stand behind an amendment that was placed into our Laws after the Constitution was written. How can an amendment over write what our Forefathers set into place over 200 years ago? And they said that the Constitution should not be tampered with or changed in anyway.

When did the rights and voices of the people not matter anymore in this country?
