NO NAU!

Now is a good time to be reinformed about the despicable plan to create a North American Union, which would unite the United States, Canada, and Mexico into one political and economic union, similar to the European Union across the pond. It would end the United States as we know it, and run over the sovereignty of our great country like a runaway express train. Here are some videos, posted on YouTube regarding this extremely important issue. YouTube at recent has at least 2,390 videos on the subject, so I will post some from time-to-time on this subject. I would encourage all of you to inform yourself on this issue as much as possible. It will be a crucial, leading, and defining issue for our country for the foreseeable future. The first step in doing anything about it is informing yourself, then you can take whatever actions possible. Your future, and the future of the generations after you, are at stake in the last great hope for man - America.

By the way, Republicans should be disappointed that they preferred John McCain over Mitt Romney. In the third video, Romney says right out that a union of the three countries is not the right way to prosperity for America. Those who preferred McCain need to know that threats to America halfway across the world are still threats, but ones closer to home are even more serious right now. At this time, I am not certain to how McCain stands on the NAU issue, but signs may point to him being in favor of it. When I know more on how McCain stands on this issue, I will post it here.

An apparent tornado struck downtown Atlanta Friday night, hitting the South's biggest city at a very busy time. The SEC and ACC basketball tournaments were being held in the Georgia Dome as the winds howled outside. Catwalks and scoreboards inside the dome were actually swaying from the wind, scaring thousands of fans to shelter.

Hotels and skyscrapers saw many windows blown out, and debris coated the streets. The CNN Center was hit with roof and window damage. Tarps covered computers in the network's newsroom. The Omni hotel adjacent to the CNN Center had major window damage, and furniture from upper floors was sucked out of the building. At Centennial Olympic Park, torch-resembling towers were blown over. The city's distinctive high-rise, the 73-story Westin Peachtree Plaza hotel, was marked with scores of destroyed windows. The Georgia Dome's canvas roof was pierced in some spots. The Philips Arena was also hit hard, with pieces of metal from its facade torn off, and blown onto the street in front of the CNN Center.

Just east of downtown, twenty houses were demolished in the Georgia capital's historic Cabbagetown district. The storm demolished the top floor of the Fulton Cotton Mill Lofts, a 104-year-old textile factory complex turned into apartments. Some were believed to be missing there, but search attempts proved that false.

Two people were killed by the storms in areas north of Atlanta.

McCAIN HAS GOP NOMINATION OFFICIALLY WRAPPED UP, ATTENTION MOVES TO RUNNING-MATE SELECTION. Who do you prefer as McCain's No. 2? Vote on it here.

Arizona Senator John McCain locked up the Republican nomination Tuesday night when he swept the contests in Ohio, Texas, Rhode Island, and Vermont being held that day. With that, he has now grabbed the number of delegates he needs for the nomination, and the focus now shifts to who McCain will choose to be his vice-presidential running-mate in a decision that will probably be announced in the early summer.

At least 25 or so individuals are being thrown around as speculated choices. His eventual choice will likely have to appear much younger than him, appeal more to the conservative base, and will have to be believed to be able to step in the President's role if necessary. On the left, I have posted the 20 names most put up as likely candidates, while at the same time more serious candidates than some that are being published. I would encourage you to vote who you would prefer to see McCain pick. Out of those 20, chances are very high that one of them will be the Senator's choice to fill the number-two spot on the GOP ticket this election cycle.
