ABC's 20-20 Hypes Special on Gun Control

Diane Sawyer will host a special on 20/20 Friday evening called "If I Only Had a Gun". It looks to be extremely anti-2nd Amendment. I think we all need to stay informed about what these people are doing. It will air at 9:00pm Friday the April 10th.
Some are suggesting to make a note of which companies are advertising during the special and express your feelings to those companies or perhaps even boycott their products completely.

The state capitol building in Topeka Kansas was the latest location of a Tea Party organized by Billy Gilchrest Topeka Chapter Leader & Ed Hayes MCDC Heart of America Director.
This little tea party was planned to protest a few issues that "We the People", the true Government have with the elected officials that are temporarily seated in office.
The Tea Parties in and around Kansas City have been plagued with extraordinarily bad weather, today’s gathering was no exception; wind!
From Kansas & Missouri Patriots arrived by car, motorcycle, trucks and vans with a single message; ENOUGH!

Tea Party Reminder:
Bring your signs and flags!

GMAC Returning to Subprime Lending

Donna Harris

Automotive News

GMAC is getting back into subprime lending, agreeing to extend credit to retail customers with credit scores below 620 -- on a limited basis. These customers still will need to qualify for financing, GMAC said in its announcement. It did not specify those requirements. >snip<

In December GMAC received a $6 billion government bailout that required GM and the private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management LP to slash their stakes in GMAC. GM's stake was 49 percent and Cerberus' 51 percent.
GMAC, now a bank holding company with operations in North America, South America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, had $189 billion in assets on Dec. 31.
