Rock on Ogre!
Apr 7th 2006RavenPolitics & Pro America & Raven
We are very proud of our friend and fellow blogger Ogre. Currently he is at a conference for conservatives in North Carolina, live blogging the discussions and other events.
Some of the topics:::
NCCLC Budget and Taxes-
In North Carolina, the Democrats start the year with this enormous budget — They START there. And then the Democrats go behind closed doors and add and make any changes they want. When they’re done, they present these literally thousands of pages to the Republicans and force them to vote on it in less than 18 hours.
NCCLC Illegal Immigration-
No “undocumented immigrants” — they have more documents than most people. $480 million per year for education on illegals in NC. $445 million on health care. 1/3 of all uninsured in NC are illegals. Only 15% of illegals in NC are doing argicultural jobs. Immigrants have a HIGHER rate of unemployment than citizens.
He was overjoyed to hear that the U.S. Senate today did not come to an agreement that would have granted amnesty and created guest worker programs (no matter what the Senators called them). It now appears that there may be no vote on anything this year regarding illegal immigrants.
Ogre, rock on friend. Michael and I and MANY others are reading, gaining perspectives and learning new facts about the issues that effect NC…in reality- these effect every state!
OH and yeah…FOOD…I want pictures of the FOOD mmMMmm.

Woo-Hoo, that was fun! I’m STILL exhausted from all the writing, listening, and eating. I’m WAY behind on my sleep. Over 11,000 liveblog words! Hooray!
Thanks for the kind words.
