'Twas the Month Before Christmas

'Twas the month before Christmas

When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying, Nor taking a stand.

See the PC Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.

The children were told by their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.

It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a ' Holiday'

Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!

CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!

Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.

As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.

At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas ; it won't touch your ears.

Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.

Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!

At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter

And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace

The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.

So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.

Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS...

not Happy Holiday!

Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet during the
holidays a MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christ is The Reason or the Christ-mas Season!

Bill C-428 - Amendment to Change Old Age Pension Residency Requirements

In June 2009 a Private Members’ Bill to amend the Old Age Security Act was put forward. If this bill became law it would essentially reduce the residency requirement for entitlement to a monthly pension from ten years to three.

Currently, In order to qualify for OAS, there is a 10 year residency requirement after the age of 18. If this is met, eligible Canadians can start receiving benefits at age 65.

At a cost of over $700 million, this proposal is costly and irresponsible and would be paid for by Canadian taxpayers.

It is reasonable to expect that a person should be required to live in Canada for a minimum period of time before being granted the right to a lifelong public benefit.

I have been paying into an Old Age Pension for 30 years now. I have also heard over those years how there may not be enough money in the fund for me to even get a pension when I retire.

So why in the world would we increase the load on that pension for people who just came to Canada, making our chances of getting a pension even worse. Personally I would like to see the residency rule be changed to a rule that you have to be a Canadian Citizen for 25 years to receive an Old Age Pension, not just a resident, but that would be hoping for to much.

Do your part to protect you and your children's pensions, contact your politicians and House of Commons members and let them know that you do not want this change.
