Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

Being thankful is all about showing gratitude and being grateful for whatever you have.

 

One should be thankful for everything that one possesses.

 

Being thankful and thanking someone always shows that you have respect for someone who helped you.

 

 Being thankful is also a way of being courteous towards someone who has helped you in some or the other way.

 

One should not forget any helping hand that renders valuable help to us at some point of time.

 

You ought to show gratitude for whatever you have.

 

 Then, one should also be thankful to God for the fact that we have proper health and are physically and mentally fine.

 

 One should always be thankful to one’s parents for raising us and doing probably everything that they could do for our education and upbringing. 

 

If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.”

 

I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving and that there able to enjoy their day!

Tele Town Hall, Collin from PANDA about NDAA

Special Tele-Town Hall: Saturday, September 27, 2014 - 9:00 am

Kristie, did you know that on December 31st 2011, President Obama quietly signed a bill into law that has sections in it that allows for the suspension of any Americans’ Constitutional rights without a trial? 

This law is known as the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), and on March 28th 2014, the Supreme Court specifically refused to judge its Constitutionality, allowing the law to remain in full effect.

Sign up now to hear Colin Farnsworth, State Coordinator for Oregon’s chapter of P.A.N.D.A. (People Against the National Defense Authorization act) as he explains the intricacies of the 2012 NDAA, and how Oregonians can utilize their local elected officials to prohibit its usage in Oregon.
You need to be signed up for the call by Friday, September 26, 2014 at 6:00 pm.  Call-in numbers will be sent to you that evening.

Helping your favorite candidate that morning?  Join Oregon PCP News to listen to the recorded call at a later time that's convenient for you.
