KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 8, 2011 — /PRNewswire/ — Thanksgiving can be a perfect time to reconnect with friends and loved ones. With nearly 240 Thanksgiving cards available this season, Hallmark is encouraging people to pause and give thanks to their loved ones. According to Hallmark Research, more than 70 percent of Thanksgiving cards are mailed, the highest percentage for any season.  

“Thanksgiving is a time for gratitude and reflecting on our blessings,” said Kristi Stanley, Hallmark Editorial Director.

For ease and convenience, there are Postage-Paid Greetings available this Thanksgiving in many different designs and messages. Just sign, seal and send.  The postage is treated like a Forever stamp, and its value will always be equal to the price of a standard First-Class stamp, regardless of when it’s mailed.

“Our postage paid cards give consumers an easy way to reconnect with friends and family from across the miles,” said Stanley. “Even if they can’t be together at Thanksgiving, a card is a wonderful way for them to tell someone how much they’re loved and appreciated.”

Like the idea of sharing gratitude in Thanksgiving cards, but not sure what to say?  Use these thought starters for a truly personal Thanksgiving greeting:It’s friends like you that … The only thing better than turkey and pumpkin pie is … The guys have football, but we have … It wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without …

Thanksgiving Cards, including Postage-Paid Greetings, are available at Hallmark Gold Crown​® stores and participating Hallmark retailers nationwide. Use the store locator on Hallmark.com to find the nearest Hallmark Gold Crown store.  Postage-paid card prices begin at $2.50.

America’s Next Civil War? Immigration Control

Allen Frederick 1 Comment

This one could get ugly. It is way past time to get serious about the infestation of illegal activity in our country. If this was an infestation of locusts, or some communicable disease would the same lackadaisical attitude prevail in stopping the onslaught? The flood of illegals across our southern border is a communicable disease which infests the communities infiltrated. The only cure is eradication and prevention. This cancer if left unchecked will destroy our national sovereignty.

America is now engaged in a second Civil War.  Rather than guns and cannons facing off across blood soaked fields, it’s state and federal lawyers firing legal briefs in efforts to prevail.  The battle lines are clearly drawn, whether it’s enforcement of immigration laws, the enforcement of election laws or mandating that every American must purchase health insurance, there is indeed a plan to fundamentally change America.  The consequences of this plan are quite possibly more far-reaching than those of the first Civil War.

They Say: He Said

Allen Frederick 4 Comments

Those of “Occupy Wall Street” have differing demands but all seem discontent in one way or another. Take a look at some of these who are occupying Wall street and read what some of them have to say:

THEY SAY:



BUT GOD SAID:

The protestors on wall street certainly do not show much MEEKNESS if you ask me. Perhaps if they displayed a bit more meekness they may gain greater access? Could it be that God actually meant what He said? I think He did.

From time to time it is good to pause and reflect. Since we have just had another Presidential debate and now the sound bytes from that debate are appearing in the news I thought it was appropriate to offer a classic SOUNDBYTE from a past President.. Ronald Reagan

“This land is your land, this land is my land.” That’s right US Taxpayers Own It

What section of the Constitution permits the Federal Government to be LANDLORD? Could someone share that information with me please? Thank you.

America's 'Landed Bureaucracy'

Obama’s bureaucrats claim they want to protect prairie chickens and sand dune lizards, but this proposed land grab is really another salvo in the administration’s war on private property rights and domestic energy production. In fact, a secret Department of Interior​ memo leaked a year ago proposes seizing properties that are “currently under the threat of oil and gas development.”

In other words, the government wants to take land that the private sector wants to use to create jobs and lower energy costs — two goals that are clearly not on Obama’s agenda.

“Considering the size of the federal government’s existing real estate portfolio, there is no need to continue unilaterally acquiring new lands without any regard to state’s rights or economies,” U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx recently noted.

Foxx is absolutely correct. The federal government currently owns 1.2 million properties and 650 million acres of land — or 30 percent of the total land area of the United States. Another ten percent of the nation’s total land area — roughly 220 million acres — is owned by state or local governments. That’s almost three acres of government-owned land for every man, woman and child in America.

If American politicians wish to be taken seriously when they talk about creating jobs, reducing our nation’s dependence on foreign oil and getting government out of the way of the private sector — then there is no better place to start than the 40 percent of our nation that’s directly owned by the government.
