Reid and Pelosi need to be ousted
Is it constitutional to require every American to have health care insurance ? You’re required to have insurance on cars, but you’re not required to purchase a car. What if you had to pay for your neighbor’s car insurance but you didn’t drive. Would that be fair?
I can only hope that these senators are truly listening to the people that put them in Washington. I hope the people vote out those that are not listening to them.
Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi need to be voted out of power. They are bad for America. Requiring me to pay for someone else’s abortion is beyond sickening. I just won’t do it. I guess I will be jailed. Give me three meals a day, a bed and no worries, but I will have a clear mind.

Lincoln exhibit is well worth seeing
What an opportunity we have today in our community! I am speaking of the “Beyond the Log Cabin” exhibit at the Highlands Museum and Discovery Center right here in downtown Ashland. This exhibit is such a fine arrangement of historical artifacts and factual documentation on the most celebrated man from Kentucky, Abraham Lincoln.
This exhibit is wonderful. It occupies virtually all of the first floor of the museum and does such a wonderful job highlighting his life and explaining the complications of Lincoln’s world at a time when our nation was divided and literally brother fought against brother in a Civil War that challenged the foundation of our nation.
I have been blessed with visiting and seeing the splendor of the world famous Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. I have toured the Speed Museum in Louisville and the Museum of Natural History in Chicago. The “Beyond the Log Cabin” exhibit has the quality and uniqueness to be in any of these museums.
But we don’t have to go to Washington or Chicago; it is right here in downtown Ashland and will be here through mid-February.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as we celebrate the 200th birthday of Kentucky’s most famous son, to see an exhibit that sheds light on his life and that of Kentucky 140 years ago.
In a few weeks nearly a million colorful lights will be on display in Ashland as Winter Wonderland comes to life again for its 21st year. I urge you to take your children and family and invite your friends to come to Ashland to see the brilliance of Winter Wonderland and enjoy this wonderful historical exhibit of Abraham Lincoln in the 200th year of his birth.
