Are you or someone you know having a hard time bathing because the side of the bathtub is too high and remodeling the bathroom is not an option. I have helped hundreds of people throughout the New England area by lowering the side of their existing bathtub for safe and easy access.

ADVOCATES from 11 not really news. For the past ten years or more, virtually every glimpse into American students’ views on citizenship has revealed both a lack of understanding and a lack of interest. An American Enterprise Institute study earlier this year found that most social studies teach- ers doubted that their students grasped core U.S. citizenship concepts such as the Bill of Rights or the separation of pow- ers. A recent Department of Education study found that only nine percent of U.S. high school students are able to cite reasons why it is important for citizens to participate in a democracy, and only six percent are able to iden- tify reasons why having a constitution benefits a country. The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and
Engagement (CIRCLE) has reported a decades- long, step-wise decline in interest in political affairs among college freshmen— from over 60 percent of the population in 1966 to less than half that percent- age in our current period. A free society requires an informed and virtu- ous citizenry.” http://www.hoover. org/publications/defin- ing-ideas/article/84241
************ Taking a look at how far
we have… diminished in our love for country and freedom here are a few examples of how July 4 or Independence Day is wan- ing in meaning. In addi- tion to the lack of honesty and morals in our leaders some fellow Americans are doing their best to make us miserable - and I will not just let this pass!
************* Rosemarie Troidl told
Fox News Radio she re- signed as a member of the North Collins School Board after her fellow board members refused to order students to recite the entire Pledge of Alle- giance together -- not just the opening line. Troidl: “The principal

doesn’t think the children get the full benefit of say- ing the Pledge as a group because children say it at different speed. We grew up learning it as a group.”
http://fxn.ws/jHpBHA The Eugene Oregon City Council said NO to the Pledge of Allegiance before council meetings. They did offer a compromise: Four meetings a year - 4th
of
July, Veterans Day, Me- morial Day, and Flag Day.
http://fxn.ws/jIKDFw “A meeting of the King, North Carolina City Coun- cil was packed on Monday with dozens of citizens who asked city officials to put the Christian flag back up at the local Veterans War Memorial. The coun- cil had voted to take down the flag rather than spend the estimated $200,000 to $300,000 it would cost to fight the American Civil Liberties Union in a First Amendment lawsuit.” Katy Parker - ACLU North Carolina - told Fox-
News.com: “The city coun- cil did the right thing to take down the flag be- cause it was endorsed by the city as part of a public monument. Now, if private citizens want to hold the flags, it is absolutely their right to do so.” Well, Katy, thank you for saving these folks from spending all that money just to defend their flag. That will teach those damn Christians! Oh wait a minute… the news spread and there is a real shortage of Christian Flags in King. Reports are that flags are being put up all over the place. God bless these folks. On the other hand
the ACLU got what they wanted, but a public relations black eye and a rallying of The Christians of King. You don’t suppose HE had a hand in this do you?

example of why I am proud of this country. Michelle Obama has had one time.
