I created this pet portrait sculpture of "Gracie" the Border Collie with polymer clay, painted, then coated with acrylic.

American Flag in Distress UNDER Mexico Flag ON AMERICAN SOIL

Montebello High School in California

You will not see this heart-stopping photo on the front page of the NY Times, nor on the lead story of the major news networks.
The protestors at Montebello High School took the American flag off the school's flag pole and hung it upside down while putting up the Mexican flag over it. (*See pictures below*)

I predict this stunt will be the nail in the coffin of any guest-worker/amnesty plan on the table in Washington . The image of the American flag subsumed to another and turned upside down on American soil is already spreading on Internet forums and via e-mail.

Pass this along to every American citizen in your address books and to every representative in the state and federal government.. If you choose to remain uninvolved, do not be amazed when you no longer have a nation to call your own nor anything you have worked for left since it will be 'redistributed' to the activists while you are so peacefully staying out of the 'fray'. Check history, it is full of nations/empires that disappeared when its citizens no longer held their core beliefs and values. One person CAN make a difference.
One plus one plus one plus one plus one plus one........

The battle for our secure borders and immigration laws that actually mean something, however, hasn't even begun.

If this ticks YOU off...PASS IT ON!
IF IT DOESN'T IT SHOULD!

Moonlight Sonata



Years ago I found an accomplished Russian woman giving piano lessons. I told her when I first got there (with no piano experience at all) that all I wanted to learn was Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata". She was pretty mad at me, but she taught me to play my favorite piano piece. :)
