Immigration policy

April 29th, 2010

Over the last several decades there has been a lot of talk about immigration reform. No matter what is said, nothing ever seems to be done about it. One recent item that brought the issue back into the spotlight is a new law in Arizona that allows reasonable searches of those suspected to be here illegally. Some worry that this will lead to racial profiling.

Many legal scholars believe that the law will be struck down as there are many precedents that stand against it. Nevertheless, supporters of the law dismiss any opposition saying there are measures in place to prevent abuse to illegals. Whatever happens to this single law, I think that politicians should provide the country with a practical solution to the problem.

Our Mother’s day

April 22nd, 2010

Mother earth has her own special day and this is it. Earth day has been a tradition in our country for 40 years and is still going strong. There have been many who spoke out on its importance including the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as well as President Barack Obama. All agree that we must do more to protect our environment so our children will have a better world to live in.

Earth Day has brought awareness to millions of people and has been a catalyst for change. The movement seems to be gathering strength and I am hoping we can all make a difference. The good news is that the day is celebrated by millions all across the globe. I believe we can overcome our differences and do right by the planet that we live on.

Tricks and Treats

April 1st, 2010

It’s that time of year again when everyone is playing tricks on each other. April Fools’ Day has to be one of the best holidays ever invented! I know a few tricks that I use year after year that always work. That’s why I have a reputation around the office. It’s fun for me to make people squirm!

I love to make those phony phone calls that are so familiar. Sometimes I put on the speaker phone so everyone can hear. We always have a good laugh at someone else’s expense. I hope this year goes as good as the last!
