I always like to hear what constituents have to say about their senators or other public officials running for higher office. Are there any MTs from Kentucky out there who have any personal knowledge or stories they can share? Is Rand Paul well liked in your state? To me, he really seems like a moderate, not too right and not too left. He may be what I'm looking for in a presidential candidate, but I'm open to hear more or follow more links. Many thanks. If it's just snark or go ...

Three young males died this year in their early 20s in separate incidents. I know their families. They came from good homes, had a lot of promise. They each reportedly got started on pain medication and when prescriptions were not renewed went out on the street to get other drugs. I watched a heroin addict interviewed and she said that even though they know this drug going around now, heroin laced with fentanyl, can kill you, she would seek it out because she wanted that high ...

Schools across the country are dropping out, not just these. These are just the descriptive letter-writing ones. LOL - No, I'm not providing a link for those. I can only post one. Link ...

The impact of dissolving the ACA will be far reaching everywhere, jobs lost. I wish we could come together as Americans and just begin fixing the more glaring deficiencies in the program we already have. I think a public option would be a good start. This should have been in the original bill but politics and the insurance lobbyists got in the way. Ultimately, single-payer like the rest of the civilized world is my preference. ...

Freedom should mean freedom for everyone, so stop trying to use laws to force people to utter and print words in which they disbelieve: A Kentucky appellate court on Friday ruled that the Christian owner of a printing shop in Lexington had the right to refuse to make T-shirts promoting a local gay pride festival. [Jacob Gershman, Wall Street Journal] As Eugene Volokh notes, the “three-judge panel ruled, on a 2-1 vote, that Adamson’s actions didn’t violate the ordinance (and thus avo ...

This is beyond crazy. Boycott is one thing, no problem with that. But legislation?

An article on NPR talking about how added tax on some small businesses could lead them to hire more people or buy new equipment. It also talks about the flip side, how for some small businesses, the tax would make it harder for them to expand. "For some 97 percent of small business owners, that higher rate is irrelevant. They make less than $250,000 a year. And for those whose income works out to be just over that threshold, one way out of paying that higher tax rate could be to hire on ...

What are your thoughts on home-based businesses like with a multi-level marketing company? I have been hearing there is huge money making potential with these companies. ...

Of course that person may not read it because it comes from NPR. Nevertheless, a number of businesses are suffering and if he keeps doing this every weekend, they will go out of business. ...

Blocked by 42 Republicans (see link below for senate roll call). This is a bill that would have potentially helped our profession of medical transcription by disallowing tax breaks for such as the big MTSOs on their overseas operations. They won't even let the teeniest incentive to get jobs back here come to a vote. I have come to the conclusion Republicans do not want Americans to have decent jobs, they also want to cut any benefits due to them taking away our jobs. What exactly do the ...

"A 2-year-old Kentucky girl was accidentally killed by her 5-year-old brother who fired a rifle he had been given as a gift, officials said Wednesday." Parents can be arrested for not reporting a missing child. It's not even legal to let your child drive a car without a permit. Yet, this sad, sad story is unfortunately way too common. We MUST start holding adults accountable for guns in the home. ...

Hypocrisy out of the Romney camp? Perish the thought!

Businesses will have a $3,000-per-employee incentive to hire illegal immigrants or native-born workers under President Obama’s sweeping action on illegal immigration.
