Yes, “my friends”; the revolution has started with Jindal refusing some of the stimulus,
“Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced Friday that he will decline stimulus money specifically targeted at expanding state unemployment insurance coverage, becoming the first state executive to officially refuse any part of the federal government’s payout to states. ”
That’s awesome ! Refusing funds for some bridge that will barely be used is one thing, but to refuse unemployment insurance coverage when job loses are still increasing is taking it to straight to increasing government and increasing welfare.
If you live in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi or South Carolina; I would urge you to urge your governor to refuse the funds. If these states can refuse and recover faster; the conservative movement will take off and spread like wildfire and make 2010 a comeback year for GOP office seekers that stand by conservative principles.

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness.
