ACTIVITIES & CONCERNS
Linden's day started with the regularly scheduled Republican breakfast meeting - the meal and the speaker were equally good. This meeting was followed with one with a TCMI representative. TCMI is the organization that oversees the operation of the ministry effort in Austria that I visited last year. Hard work but a most enjoyable mission trip. We came to my home after this last meeting to view a CD that was made at the TCMI banquet last fall. The CD started with me speaking of my mission trip.
I will share just the tip of the iceberg of my concerns with you - I am sure some are based on fact (they may all be) while others are the result of writings by others which I have not verified. I continue to believe that our country is less safe than it was just a few weeks ago and that the reason for this centers on an ineffective congress. The Senate, in regard to our safety, seems to be more effective than the Nancy Pelosi run House.
I am concerned that the Bush tax cuts will not remain in force. I read that in 1999 under Clinton the taxes on a single person making $30,000.00 were almost $4,000.00 higher than they were in 2008 under Bush. For a couple making $60,000.00 the Clinton penalty was about $8,000.00. Each one of the democrat Presidential candidates are committed to a tax increase as are many of the congressional democrats.
We have a too high percentage of taxpayers who would not dream of voting for a Republican. Go figure!

HELP WANTED
It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.
Illinois 12 East St. Louis – One Found?
Massachusetts 1 Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire and other Counties
Massachusetts 2 Springfield area
Massachusetts 3 Bristol area – One Found?
Massachusetts 4 Bristol area – One Found?
Massachusetts 5 Essex, Middlesex and Worcester Counties
Massachusetts 7 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties
Massachusetts 8 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties
In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?
Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.
