The Bowie County Blade


Cutting through to the truth.

BCCC STARTS THE NEW YEAR The Bowie County Commissioners Court picked-up the reins to start 2013. Faces of the Court are changing as Jack Stone retired after 24 years service. NEW BOSTON, Texas Current and former Bowie County officials were among those who bid farewell to longtime Precinct 1 Commissioner Jack Stone during a retirement party Monday. The reception was held at the courthouse shortly after Stones last Commissioners Court meeting. Stone took office Jan. 1 1989, serving the county for 24 years. He chose not to seek re-election last year. Stones brother, Sammy Stone, took the reins as Precinct 1 commissioner when he was sworn into office Tuesday. ******************** Tackling the next task, the Court launched an effort to resolve and clarify the administration of the County jails. The Court decided to have an experienced attorney, Herb Bristow to construct a favorable contract for a new vendor. The discussion examined the qualifications of Bristow and why an attorney outside the County staff was necessary. Bristow, a $285-per-hour lawyer will assist in negotiating a contract to run its two jails. The vote was 3- 2 to retain Herb Bristow, of the Waco, Texas-based firm Haley and Olson duringa meeting Monday. County Judge Sterling Lacy, Precinct 2 Commissioner Tom Whitten and Precinct 3 Commissioner Kelly Blackburn voted for the move, while Precinct 1 Commissioner Jack Stone and Precinct 4 Commissioner Pat McCoy voted against it. There was no written contract presented at the meeting, though Bristow said his services will cost about $5,000 to get to the proposal stage and another $5,000 to get to a contract award, for a total of about $10,000. My objective is to get the best deal I can for the county," Bristow said.

Might as well get used to it, the government is anxious to trample on more of our rights after the election disaster. You might not know I yet but many of the empowered Democrats are after your 401k accounts. In one of his broadcasts, Rush told us the ideas floating around Washington Democrats.
As Washington debates what to do about the fiscal cliff that it foolishly created, many potential sources of new revenue will be thrown on the table. One of them is likely to be 401(k) plans. Retirement is an American's reasonable expectation. We put money into investment plans so that our work today funds our hard-earned leisure of tomorrow. But many in Washington see our investment accounts not as the expressions of well-planned, disciplined decisions but as untapped reservoirs of wealth they can drain to fix the problems that they caused." And it won't stop with 401(k)s. Then they're figure out a way to get into your pension plan. A lot of cash there, folks. Despite all the unfunded pensions, those are largely public sector pensions, government. Private sector pensions, not unfunded. People own them. Large reservoir of cash there. In fact, I could take you back to the early nineties, first public official I ever heard target private sector pensions none other than -- the Reverend Jackson.

Hurricane Sandy...(Hats off to Whoever Wrote This) As you know, America is the first country to send aid when other countries are in trouble. It is highly appropriate that we now send THANKS to all of the countries that reciprocated for our help with their disasters, misgivings, social turmoil, & poverty by sending to the United States of America monetary and physical help when Sandy ravaged our East Coast leaving dead, homelessness, and pure disaster. Listed below are all the Countries and World Organizations that are giving us gracious assistance. Please assist in thanking these entities by passing on this email so people all over America can join in and THANK our neighbors, to whom we have invested BILLIONS! First on the list is: 1. No One

JUST HOW LOW WILL THE GOVERNMENT GO TO POLITICIZE A TRAGEDY? My son who writes for World Net Daily sent this to me so Im betting that it is authentic. I invite e others to check it out.

CRISIS ACTORS??

********************* The next thing we expect is panic stricken gun control advocates who cant ask themselves a simple question or two: 1. what if there had been ONE person in the Denver theater and the elementary school with a gun? And 2. with 67,000,000 gun owners in the United States, why should a crazy criminal determine whether or not the Second Amendment is valid? ASK YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF WHAT HIS POSITION IS A high-profile former sheriff who once sued the U.S. government over its gun regulations and won says its the local sheriff who will have to defend Americans when and if the feds start banning and confiscating guns. Richard Mack, a former sheriff in Graham County, Ariz., joined with then-Ravalli County Sheriff Jay Printz in a lawsuit against Washington when Bill Clinton demanded sheriffs enforce provisions of the Brady Bill gun-control law. He won. And since then hes been at the front of a movement that highlights the responsibility of local sheriffs.

Now, as Washington gears up to consider imperious plans to limit guns, require fingerprinting and registration, impose additional taxes and fees, ban particular features or functions outright, and even confiscate weapons of self-defense, Mack has told WND that theres hope remaining in local law enforcement. Its not complicated, he said. Gun control is illegal, and its against the Constitution, he said. What people dont realize is that the Second Amendment was designed to protect us from the power of the federal government. He said he would expect sheriffs across the country to defend the rights of ordinary Americans. I hope and pray Americas sheriffs wont allow any more gun control, Mack said. The sheriffs need to be united in letting the federal government know that were not going to allow it. In the 90s when I was the sheriff of Graham County, Ariz., we worked with other sheriffs and stopped two or three Brady Bills, he recalled, a fight that hes been detailing in seminars with sheriffs. He said the office is critical, as its not only in law enforcement, but also is elected directly by the people. Out of 200 sheriffs with whom Ive met, Ive only had one give me a wishy-washy answer. That one said he would try to take the federal government to court, Mack said. Most of them have said they would lay down their lives first rather than allow any more federal control. They also said they would do everything they could to stop gun control and gun confiscation.
