Election 2012
On Tuesday, November 6th we re-elected President Obama. This was my very first time voting for a president and it was quite fun. In the state of Washington we have mail in ballots which isn't as cool as going down to a voting station, pulling the curtain back, and casting my vote but in the comfort of my own home with my husband we filled in the bubble on our ballots! How fun it was to have that opinion and contribute! What an excellent privilege we have as American citizens to be heard as we are casting our votes for presidents, ballot measures, governors, etc. I'm thankful for that opportunity and it has honestly made me way more excited for 2016 when we get to vote again. I already am predicting who is going to be running, not that I'm a political expert by any means! :)

Worlds Largest Army
The world’s largest army… America‘s hunters! I had never thought about this….
A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:
There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .
Allow me to restate that number.
Over the last several months, Wisconsin‘s hunters became the eighth largest army in the world.
More men under arms than in Iran.
More than in France and Germany combined.
These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.
That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan ‘s 700,000 hunters,
All of whom have now returned home.
Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia and it literally establishes the fact that
The hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
The point?
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.
Hunting — it’s not just a way to fill the freezer. It’s a matter of national security.
*************************************************
That’s why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.
Food for thought when next we consider gun control.
