I believe that the Family Safety Net Act could be to raising kids in America what the Civil Rights Movement is to minorities. The legislation will mandate that every fit parent have equal access to their kids-automatic joint custody, co-parenting is insufficient-with the best interests of the child at the heart of the legislation, regardless of the status of the relationship of the parents, with primary custody initially granted to the mother. No more fathers begging to see their kids. It's time. The key is fit. The adults must have the capacity to parent free of drug abuse, emotional abuse, and physical abuse and to establish a home that is free of such maltreatment. It is time. In addition, since America is about enterprise-working to support self and family and fulfilling dreams within the legal framework of this country-the parents and our educational institutions must model that behavior so every student steps into adulthood with a plan to support themselves, for the only way we will triumph over this nebulous future is to launch with the genuine love and support of as many friends and family we can muster together and to have the confidence from preparation to work and/or pursue dreams. I am for kids.

We all have two roads upon which we can choose. The first road is to allow our limiting beliefs such as fear, anger, and doubt to shackle us and hinder our ability to achieve our true desires in life. Athlete Unleashed helps you navigate the second road, which allows you to break free from those shackles, find your passion, and gives you the steps to unleash your best inner athlete!Back when I was a high school baseball player, guidance and strength training for high school sports was not too advanced.

They deserve a program that allows them the chance to compete at the highest level they desire, while achieving peak health and fitness.Whether you are attempting to make the team, or you are ready to achieve your next level of athletics, this is the book for you. Athlete Unleashed helps guide you to find your passion while guiding you in addressing the key components to become more successful. These components include developing the proper mindset, balancing your work effort with the appropriate recovery, specific nourishment for your needs, the right movement for your success, the steps for injury prevention, recovery from injury, and the planning for your season-as well as your future!

Having been taught patriotic ideas from an early age, then having served in the military and taking the oath to "protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic" several times, the author has written this book after having to redefine his beliefs regarding "patriotism" based on new evidence he has encountered. In other words, his patriotism has evolved to the point of getting "back to the basics" regarding the Constitution and Bill of Rights, the foundation of American life, yet they have taken serious hits since, and because of 9/11/01. This book is an attempt to share with his fellow Americans things that have been, apparently, deliberately withheld from the general public regarding what really happened that day and why. One must admit that it is strange that we have always seemed to have an enemy, or a "boogeyman," as Mobster Sam Giancana once related: "The Fat Cats were fully aware that Americans will do anything for Patriotism, hence, you always must provide them with a 'boogeyman.' They won't overwork themselves just to make huge profits for 'fat cats' for any other reason, so new enemies always have to be found or created." Wars are big business for a certain group of wealthy "elites" who value profits above human life. This book explores this inhumane idea and much, much more!

A Sweetheart Deal What a sweet deal! That is the theme and the emphasis of this Christmas book. In this book, you will encounter again and again, God's incredible offer in the unspeakable gift of His only begotten Son. When Gabriel said to Mary, "You shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21), that was, and is, the sweetest deal that has been and will ever be given to sinful men and women. Luke records the essence of this stupendous news of the angel this way: "Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people" (Luke 2:10). That message of the angel is the true spirit and meaning of the Christmas story. In it is God's sweetheart deal of His incredible offer to you and me--the unspeakable gift of His only begotten Son. Isaiah, the prophet, also speaks of this marvelous gift of God to man: "For unto us a Child is born. Unto us a Son is given. And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace" (Isaiah 9:6). How sweet a deal is this!Christmas is a most wonderful time. There is no other time of year that gladdens our hearts like the Christmas season. Even those who make no pretense at following Jesus will readily admit that this time of year is the most joyful, the most cheerful. It is all about the birth of the Christ child. He is the reason for the season. Millions of men and women, boys and girls, celebrate His birth with great joy. This book, in eight chapters, seeks to capture the sweetness, the joy, and the cheer of Christmas in the following:The night the angels sangA Star in BethlehemKing of the JewsLet's go to BethlehemPeace on earth, pain in RamahThey shalt call His name JesusA light to lighten the GentilesGlory of GodIt is the author's Christmas wish that you will read, contemplate, and find joy in the story of the Christ child.

Songs I Sing is the raised curtain to a woman, wife, mother, and leader who writes poetry because she must. These one-hundred-plus songs-simple, sweet, sacred, serious, silly, and sensual-seek to upturn every stone in the readers'' heart, resonate in the readers'' mind, and coax a repartee that reflects the impact of the poet''s thoughts, her experiences, her aspirations, her principles. Set to the melody of self-reflection, the rhythm of purposeful living and the tempo of tolerance, Songs I Sing speaks first and foremost to the author, demanding of herself honesty and forthrightness and shunning the unexamined life. A humble exploration of rhyme and prose, reason and rhetoric, commentary and confession, this second book of poetry by B. Germain Reynolds catalogs her love relationship with words and coerces the listener to erupt in song-songs that anyone can sing.

He had a passion in his blood and a love for the thrill of battle, which led him to fight in the Papal Wars as well as the American Civil War and the Western Indian Wars. Devastatingly handsome, a notorious flirt with the opposite sex, Keogh soon learned that being a military officer extracted a terrible toll on his soul-a void he filled with depression and perhaps more drink than was good for him.

He has a chance to forego death, save the United States, and maybe...just maybe, find true love.
