Somebody asked me who were those people in the Republican Debate?


Left to Right...Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey.
Marco Rubio, U.S. Senator from Florida.
Dr. Ben Carson, Retired Neurosurgeon.
Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin.
Donald Trump, Builder.
Jeb Bush, former Gov of Florida.
Mike Huckabee, former Gov of Arkansas.
Ted Cruz, U.S. Senator from Texas.
Rand Paul, U.S. Senator from Kentucky.
John Kasich, Gov of Ohio.

Carly Fiorina did not make this photo, but 
she is now 3rd in the Political Polls.

She is behind Trump & Carson.

By the way, there are 535 members of Congress.
They are divided between the House(435) members 
and the Senate(100) members.

Each State gets 2 Senators.
On the basis of the 10 year Consensus, mandated in the
Constitution, it is determined how many House Members
will represent a State based on population and location.
(ever hear the Term Redistricting?)

House Members serve a 2 year term
Senators serve a 6 year term

In other words...535 people + the President
make the Laws that more than 300million people must follow.

 Most people don't have a clue. And a lot of them Vote.

Glory, glory Alleluia...

That's all very interesting and you certainly know your politics now... what's the latest news on your son, Jason? You had a post on this Blog the other night, and then it was gone. I also heard that you visited him yesterday in the hospital. How is he doing?
