Cost to operate a Chevy Volt



 

Eric Bolling (Fox Business Channel's Follow the Money) test drove the Chevy

Volt at the invitation of General Motors.



 

For four days in a row, the fully charged battery lasted only 25 miles

before the Volt switched to the reserve gasoline engine.

Eric calculated the car got 30 mpg including the 25 miles it ran on the

battery. So, the range including the 9 gallon gas tank and the 16 kwh batery

is approximately…

2.29.12 – Isn’t this exciting news?  In spite of the fact that Romney spent 6 times as much money as did Santorum, Santorum gets 15 Michigan delegates – the same number as Romney gets!  

The other good news is that in Monday’s Rasmussen poll (2.27.12), Obama was down to a 45% approval rating which is a four-week low; 53% of likely voters said they disapprove of Obama’s job performance.

Meanwhile, the latest Ohio poll (2.29.12 –…

[Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and his staff deserve a huge round of applause for their vigilance and determination to prevail.  Because they took the risk of appealing the original San Antonio judges’ maps to the U. S. Supreme Court, we Republicans have gained back a number of seats.  As you read through this report, you will see that the newly submitted maps by the San Antonio three-judge panel (2.27.12) hurt Republicans far less than the ones originally…

"Santorum Led the Fight To Get Rid of Heinous Procedure”

by Donna Garner

2.27.12

A partial birth abortion occurs in the second or third trimester and involves the physician inducing the woman to have a breech delivery with forceps, delivering the legs, arms, and torso only.  Then the baby's skull is punctured with scissors and a catheter is inserted into the skull. The baby's brain tissue is sucked out; and when completed,…

Since when does the former Jr. Senator / Community Activist speak for the candidates that are running against him. The one thing you know for sure, if Obama’s lips are moving he is obfuscating and distorting the truth. Republican’s all agree that at some point in time,.... in the future,.... crude oil will be exhausted. But we choose to RESPOND to the problem as opposed to REACT! It wasn’t that long ago the leading scientist said the crude oil would…

All through history we have witnessed mans innate ability to adapt, to adjust, and to modify the world they lived in and were confronted with. The challenges were many but man always seems to persevere.  

Today most people take our life style for granted. They don’t’ think about the struggles or the sacrifice that the pioneers, inventors and visionaries endured to provide all the luxuries they enjoy today. Whenever man was faced with a crisis…

Remember the U.S.S.R.? Well it's coming back! You know the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republic only this time it is the United   States Socialist Republic! Thank you Barack Obama! Thank all of you that voted for the current community activist we now have as the President, thank all of you that had something better to do on Election Day than to cast your vote! Thank you for turning a blind eye and a deaf…

Obama said; ”To whom much is given, much will be required” in essence pointing his finger at the wealthy. However on analysis, just whom has much been given? For the most part, the wealthy have earned their money; it wasn’t “given to them!” It is those who pay no Federal income tax that “MUCH HAS BEEN GIVEN!”! Given in the form of untold social programs and tax returns they did not earn from a system that they did not pay into, not to mention the military, roads and postal service…

2.24.12 – 3:20 P M. (CST)

I have just been notified by the Santorum campaign that he is within 100 votes of winning the poll results in Michigan. They are asking for us to call/contact anyone and everyone we know in Michigan and ask them to support Santorum.

Romney is pouring money into the state, but Santorum can win this race because of the strong grassroots support of those who are opposed to the Republican establishment’s…

        At my age, not too many things surprise me, but the deeper I look into this, the more I am amazed that it has been allowed to happen to this extent. Under the pretense of "understanding other cultures," American children are being introduced to, and indoctrinated in, Sharia Islamic culture, through an array of "education" programs. These programs have been cleverly put in place through "Educational Grants" primarily from Saudi Arabia, and its "friends."  Many millions of Saudi…

“Deflating Romney’s Spin of Santorum’s Spending Record”

by Donna Garner

2.21.12

Here is the spin that Mitt Romney is using to beat Santorum:

“Sen. Santorum goes to Washington and calls himself a budget hawk…Then after he's been there a while, he says he's no longer a budget hawk. Well, I am a budget hawk. I don't want to spend more money than we take in."

However, what is the real story from Mitt…

ACTION STEP: Here is the contact information for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, Kelly Durham, Assistant Superintendent for Communications, KELLI.DURHAM@cfisd.net; 281-807-8939 (phone); 281-807-8150 (fax).  At the bottom of this e-mail, I have posted fact-based information about Obama, his Communist friend (Bill Ayers) who probably wrote Obama’s book, and the crimes that Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine…

I don't think this will make the news!!!



 

 

On Romney's character....

 

Sometimes, this facet of Romney’s personality isn’t so subtle. In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and…

2.16.12 – Latest Rasmussen polls of registered voters:

Santorum 39%

Romney 27%

Gingrich 15%

Paul 10%

Notably, 58% of both conservatives and tea party members viewed Santorum as "very favorably." These voters make up the core of the GOP base.

“Who Is Cecile Richards?”

by Donna Garner

2.16.12

For those who may not be from Texas, let me explain who Cecile Richards really is. Presently she is the CEO of Planned Parenthood; and as Jill Spanek of LifeNews.com   explains (article posted below), it is Cecile who has had Obama’s ear since he got to the White House. It was she and others like her who were primary players behind Obama’s contraceptive…

       I urge anyone who has not done so, to go to Wikipedia and look this bill up.  Read and consider primarily, Title X, Subtitle D ( Counter Terrorism ), Subsections 1021 and 1022, dealing with arrest and detainment of people. After considering what it said, and what it did NOT say, I think this bill is one more step toward an America we eventually will not recognize.  To me, it smacks of Communist Russia or China. The way this bill is worded, it matters not whether you are an American…

DO NOT LET CHILDREN WATCH THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO!

We taxpayers support Planned Parenthood to the tune of $487.4 Million a year.  We pay for 329,445 Planned Parenthood abortions per year. But that’s not all.  We also give Planned Parenthood unfettered access to our children, and these video clips clearly show what the terms “scientific” and “age-appropriate” mean to Planned Parenthood.

“Controversy Over Texas’ STAAR and End-of-Course Tests”

by Donna Garner

2.14.12

I would urge all Texas parents of public school children to listen to the video clip of the first 44 minutes of the Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) meeting (1.26.12) of the Full Board.  In it Texas Commissioner of Education Robert Scott and the SBOE:

• Discussed the new STAAR and End-of-Course…
