This is an eye opener!

 

 

Just One State


This is only one State....

If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will!

 

From the L. A. Times
1. 40%of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95%of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75%of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35%of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliensin Los Angeles County are living in garage s.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8. Nearly 60%of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.
(There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County . )

(All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)


Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

We are a bunch of fools for letting this continue

HOW CAN YOU HELP ?

Send copies of this letter to at least two other people. 100 w ould be even better.


This is only one State...............

If this doesn't open your eyes nothing will !

nd you wonder why Nancy Pelosi wants them to become voters!

 

Five in the air...


Five in the air..., originally uploaded by RMStringer.

Five soldiers floating to the ground. The green is a stark contrast to the blue sky and the clouds between them. I was using my 70-300mm lens for most of these photos. I thought about going to my 18-70mm but i wanted to be able to get in really close when they were coming out of the C130 aircraft.

Praying Mantis 1.4, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

I was out at an Aspen tree in our cutting some limbs and i saw this little dude on the trunk. I ran inside to get my camera and shoot some photos of him. I love the color scheme that he has going. Brown and Green go well with the Aspen. I used the back flash on several of these photos and this was one of them.

Mountain Bike Ride

I went and meet a new group to ride with last night.  The trails were located in Edwardsville Il and we got in a 10.3 mile ride.  There were 6 of us on the ride including the lease owner of the trail system. Most of the trails were like Lake View 1-3 in Pocahontas State Park in Virginia that I rode many times.  The group affiliated with the trail system is called GORC - Gateway Off-Road Cyclists

 

I made some great contacts and got some numbers to call if I want to try to get a ride going.  More later and pics to follow.

I walked up to the soldier and asked him if he would mind me getting a photo and he said, " It would be my pleasure." I took the photo and then i shook his hand and thanked him for the photo op.

Sitting 1.1


Sitting 1.1, originally uploaded by RMStringer.

She was sitting on the second landing and i got her attention. She looked at me and i was able to get a great shot of her. I live the sun in her face and the contrast between he and the carpet. She really is a fun cat to take pictures of.

She was sitting in the big picture window that we have on the second landing of the stairs in our home. I love the contrasting color of her with the glass and sunlight that is present in the window. I was able to get multiple shots in B/W using the 70-300mm lens and hood. Some were with flash, this was not.
