Is it the NFL or NBA?

I have received this e-mail about five time now. I don't know if this is true but somehow it really seems true with the idiots we have now back there. So because I have already broken my rule about getting political earlier than I minus well add one more. ENJOY!!!

Is this the NFL or NBA?
36 have been accused of spousal abuse
7 have been arrested for fraud
19 have been accused of writing bad checks
117 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses
3 have done time for assault
71 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit
14 have been arrested on drug-related charges
8 have been arrested for shoplifting
21 currently are defendants in lawsuits, and
84 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year

Can you guess which organization this is?
Neither, it's the 435 members of the United States Congress The same group of Idiots that crank out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Bill Signing



Thank you again to everyone for your help with the epilepsy bill. The governor did a ceremonial signing last week. Here are a couple photos (thanks Marisa).

New Epilepsy Law

Signed yesterday! I wish I could have been there to see this signed although our bill was signed by the governor. It takes effect in 60 days! I am so thrilled that this is all done! We requested a public signing of the bill but apparently we didn't ask fast enough. But I am just glad that it is signed!

Thanks for everyone's support in this.

Day at the Senate

Thank you so very much for everyone's support and letters to the legislature. I am so grateful! Our bill passed yesterday! I am so very excited. We are the first state to pass anything like this bill. Quite a few states have tried but Tennessee is the only one that has gotten close. It was rather exciting. I went up there first thing in the morning and I was there all day. We have had at least one board member there all day every day for a month now. We met with almost all the senators and representatives! We are soooo grateful that this passed. This is amazing. I feel like a lot of the things the EAU has done is one such a small scale and for the first time we were able to make a difference to people throught the whole state! They finished the voting and a wave of relief went over me. I just couldn't believe that this is going to be a law!
