Dec 8, Moore County Deputy Shot in Lobelia

Thu, 08 Dec 2011 20:36:06 GMT

A Moore County Sheriff’s Deputy has been shot in the line of duty. The shooting happened today right around 12:00 noon on Morrison Bridge Road in the Lobelia area of Moore County. At this point information is still coming in, however this is what we have learned so far from our on-scene reporter. A Moore County deputy was at a residence for a reason that has not yet been clarified. While at the residence the deputy was shot. The Life Flight helicopter was called to transport the deputy to a trauma center. While the helicopter was landing and the ambulance sat waiting the deputy went into cardiac arrest and paramedics began CPR. A person who is having CPR cannot go into a helicopter so the ambulance left the scene heading to First Health Moore Regional in Pinehurst with a police escort. Many officers on the scene were openly crying, with other officers and emergency workers obviously on the verge of joining them. The only other information released was that the deputy was a Moore County resident, and was married with a family. An unidentified person is under arrest in relation to today’s shooting. Un-confirmed reports are that the deputy has died of his injuries. Current story courtesy of Aberdeen Times.

Oct 26, Congressional Reform Act of 2011/2012

Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:14:02 GMT

This was so powerful to us that we had to pass it on to you guys. This is being passed around in many social circles and it makes so much since that it's rediculous. Warren Buffett told CNBC, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes". "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971...before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land...all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. *Congressional Reform Act of 2011* 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen. Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term's), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive the message. Maybe it is time.
