Remembering Sept 11, 2001
Lest we never forget!
This Sunday will mark ten years since jihadi terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners and flew them into the World Trade Center twice, the Pentagon, and the fourth plane’s mission got aborted by the passengers who over-took the jihadists which resulted in a crash with no survivors in Somerset County, PA.
Over three thousand lives were lost, including over four hundred NYPD and FDNY first responders at the Twin Towers.
Al-Qaeda and Ossama Bin Laden attempted to collapse the entire western world by taking out the World Trade Center, which at the time was the center of world finance. We should be thankful that they did not succeed, instead, their crimes against humanity only served to unite the US, and freedom loving people around the world. The foundations of the World Trade Center were destroyed, yet the foundations of liberty and freedom were only strengthened.

Majority Leader Cantor lists Top Ten proposed Job Killers
Majority Leader Cantor is scheduling weekly votes in the House to kill several Obama proposed regulations, which, if allowed to become “rules” will cost millions of jobs.
He released a memo to House Republicans outlining the agenda. Seven of the top ten jobs killers are EPA regulations. His memo must have already had an impact, since President Obama has since asked the EPA to withdraw a proposed stricter ozone rule. The EPA action on ozone was unprecedented, since the Clean Air Act regularly comes under review every five years with the next review due in 2013.
Obama Asks EPA to Pull Ozone Rule
President Barack Obama, citing the struggling economy, asked the Environmental Protection Agency on Friday to withdraw an air-quality rule that Republicans and business groups said would cost millions of jobs.
The surprise move—coming on the same day as a dismal unemployment report—reflected the energy industry’s importance as a rare bright spot in adding U.S. jobs.
The Majority Leader’s memo in full after the jump.

Kelly Motz
Ovarian Cancer
My name is Kelly Motz.
Three years ago, at the age of 45, I was diagnosed with stage III-C Ovarian Cancer.
What a shock to my world; how could this be? I ate right, exercised, and was in the best physical shape of my life. And, I really wasn’t “sick.” I had been experiencing some indigestion and noticed a little bloating about my waist.
I had my annual physical four months prior to my cancer diagnosis and received the “all clear.” My primary care physician thought I might have gall bladder problems or an ulcer. An ultrasound showed some ascites, which prompted a CT scan, which showed a large number of tumors throughout my abdomen.
