Did you see this?
This Friday, noon to midnight, on I-55 you will see a State Trooper> every 10 miles from St. Louis to Chicago. Tell anyone you wish, it will benefit all.
This sent to me by an ABATE of Illinois member. Is this for safety or is it just a way the state wants to welcome you to the summer. You all know my thoughts on the speed traps they set up all over the place. Here is another reason not to like them officers usually will extend professional courtesy to other officers when they are pulled over, at least they used too. The bottom line is that those same laws that they want to apply to you are not going to apply to them. Is that just? I don't think there is a justice system anymore, it has been replaced by a legal system. The bottom line to you is to be vigilant and hopefully you can keep your money is your pocket.
It wouldn't seem like the state should be needing to write as many tickets right now anyway. I'd think that the increase in the price of gasoline would generate even more taxes for them. In fact the governement probaly gets more money per gallon then anyone else. But it is never enough to feed that beast.
Well I just got back from Geo's Wings in Belleville, IL. If you haven't made it out to this bike night you owe it to yourself to check it out. They have great food and this is an awesome place for smething like this. This weekedn will find us heading to Springfield Illinois for the Mile and the TTs. If you are not up for that this is also the weekend for the Great American Freedom Rally in Buckhorn, MO. This is a fun party and well worth the trip.
Finally let's not forget what this weekend is all about the passing of those that came before us. We can not forget what they did to make this country what it is today. There are many out there that don't understand sacrificing their needs for a greater good, that is a lesson we can all take from them. There are many out there that speak of supporting the troops but in many cases that is empty speech they truly do nothing to support the troops. I used to work with people who thought that it was a service members job to put his life in harms way and no doubt that is part of it but there is very little in the way of fiancial rewards for doing this. Corporate leaders get millions of dollars for shipping jobs overseas or laying off thousands but brave souls who defend the nation make hardly nothing think about it who truly is a greater asset to all of us. I think that is clear. We need to make changes or else bad things will happen to this nation.
Have a great weekend and if you get the opportunity truly do something to support the troops. When I was on actve duty during 2001 - 2002 there were many stories of people buying a meal for a soldier and his party that in a nice gesture or donate something to Jefferson Barracks or make a visit there. If you own a business give a discount to service members, isn;t it amazing that those who need it the least in our society are the ones who get things given them the most.

I guess I didn't see it because I can't even see it now!
I still don't see it. Must of used invisible ink.
Are you all blind it is clearly here?
Better late than never!
The profits from the gasoline have to pay for Rods house in Chicago and for his hair stylist. Have you ever noticed that when the price of oil goes up $1 a barrel that the gas prices go up 20-30 cents a gallon. I always thought there were 55 gallons in a barrel-not 4-5.?????
I have friends that work for the state and they often relate to me what a piece of work (or you could put your own word there) Rod truly is. Funny he wants to be governor but doesn't want to live in Springfield, I thought that was part of the job living at the seat of government.
