Tennessee Senator Bob Corker Visit

Tennessee Senator Bob Corker visited this morning at our local library.

 

BTW…we have a world class library in our little town thanks to some very generous private citizens.

 

Our local county mayor, Benny McGuire, introduced Senator Corker to

the audience of citizens and business leaders.

 

Senator Corker’s topic concerned “America’s Debt Crisis” and was very informative.

You can read the slide in the above photo comparing  “budgeting” of our average TN income

and contrasted with “Washington Logic”.

 

In this slide is the graphic representation of how the United States spent it’s money this year…

 

This slide depicted the graphic of how the United States spent in 1970…an alarming difference!!!

 

Senator Corker graciously listened to local citizens individually and

answered questions at the conclusion of the formal meeting.

 

 

Senator Corker’s Field Director tried to keep him

“on schedule”…

I’m not too sure she succeeded since he had a lot of people wanting to speak to him.

She’s the cute blonde…

A Plea…

When we visited Arlington Cemetery in August

I was reminded about how precious our right to vote is.

I thought about these heroes…

they made the ultimate sacrifice to give us

our precious right to vote.

 

 

I occasionally get a glimpse into the psyche of someone who

actually dedicated two and a half decades

of his life to give us that right to vote…

It is inspiring and sad…an oxymoron of  a courageous life…

 

 

Dedication!!!

 

The men and women who have given us this gift…

and asked for nothing…

 

 

Use this precious gift and vote…

to honor them…
