text: Only Cartels Benefit from Obama's Border 'Monument,' says Former Border Patrol Association Print article Send a Tip by Kristin Tate 20 May 2014 post a comment On Wednesday the Obama Administration is set to unilaterally designate a 600,000 acre national monument in New Mexico near the U.S.-Mexican border. The sanctuary, which will be called the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, has drawn sharp criticism from law enforcement who say it will impede border security. "By creating this monument, President Obama is ensuring a pathway to get drugs into the country" Zack Taylor, Chairman of the National Association of Former Border Patrol Officers, told Breitbart Texas. The Obama Administration will ultimately control how much access Border Patrol agents will have to the land, including whether or not they will be able to use vehicles. Taylor, who has 26 years of border security experience, pointed out that one of the most dangerous cities in the world, Juarez, Mexico, is right across the New Mexico border. Impeding law enforcement near this section of the border could allow Juarez's cartels and violence to enter the U.S. with ease. "This is the wrong place to put a monument," Taylor said. "The New Mexico border has no river--it's just an imaginary line. If criminal illegal aliens can walk across the border and into the sanctuary area, they will use that land for criminal acitivy and use it extensively. Everything surrounding the monument is in peril." Advocates of the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument claim the land needs to be preserved for environmental reasons. But opponents claim this argument is a deflection from the real issue, which is the safety of U.S. citizens. "Who benefits form this more than the cartels?" Taylor asked. "The people who live there don't benefit, law enforcement doesn't benefit, the sheriffs don't benefit. The only people who benefit from this monument are illegal illegal immigrants brining drugs into this country. Environmentalists say we're protecting this land by shutting people out, but we're actually doing the opposite." Obama is creating the monument without approval from the Senate or Congress by using the Antiquities Act, a means by which presidents can unilaterally lock up land for environmental reasons. Taylor concluded, "The Obama Administration is using 'environmental concerns' as a tool to bypass Congress and take over the land. By doing so, he is completely ignoring national security and public safety." Follow Kristin Tate on Twitter @KristinBTate.

One of the most controversial moments in wrestling took place when Eric Bischoff signed Alundra Blayze away from WWE. Well, it turns out that the former WCW president is still close to his former employee. The two of them were spotted hanging out together in Arizona recently.
While WWE is still mulling over the candidates to induct the Ultimate Warrior into the hall of fame during Wrestlemania 30 weekend, CM Punk has revealed that he has asked management for the role. The feeling backstage is that officials are hoping to get Hulk Hogan to do it.
The leading candidate to win the Royal Rumble right now is Batista. WWE is said to want to capitalize on the momentum of his return by throwing him immediately into the main event scene of Wrestlemania 30. A title match against Randy Orton has been heavily discussed backstage.
"Maybe the reason I don't like you hitting on me isn't because I'm mean- maybe I'm tired, or taken, or you look like a mass murderer."
- AJ Lee
Former TNA knockout SoCal Val posted an interesting picture of herself riding in a shopping cart.
Mickie James posted an old school picture of herself sleeping on a military plane while working for WWE.
Jake Roberts posted a picture of himself with former WCW star Marc Mero.
Since some fans requested to see it, Rob Van Dam posted a picture of himself with long hair on Twitter.
Aksana is the latest WWE diva to be featured in a "day off" photo shoot.
A picture of Kurt Angle and Gail Kim in India. The two were sent by TNA to do a special promotional tour for the company.
"Yes, of course. I'm Mexican. I grew up watching him. I saw him several times before he came to WWE or any other company in the US. He wrestled for years and years in Mexico, especially in Ciudad Juarez. I've always admired him. He started from the bottom and at the end of his career he was one of the most amazing, most popular Superstars in the world."
"Everything kinda went downhill very fast. There was an accident that my son was involved in, and a good friend of ours was in the accident with my son. Just the marriage basically crashing and burning. After the show [Hogan Knows Best], I kinda hit rock bottom. Everything got dark, everything happened at once. I was drinking alcohol very heavily. It just all kept piling up, it all kept mounting and mounting and I didn't know how to handle it. I always wondered how could someone possibly take their own life, and so I got to that point where I said, 'You know what, maybe this would be easy. You know, maybe this would be an easy way to fix things.'"
"I was doing everything I could to kill myself except put a loaded weapon in my hand."
Now that he is done filming Guardians of the Galaxy, Batista is back in the United States and just taking a break from working.
Tamina Snuka posted a picture of herself having dinner with the Usos and Camacho.

Eric Bischoff posted a picture of his wife, as the two of them visited a really small town in Wyoming.
Usually, when a performer informs WWE that they are leaving, it becomes a well known fact within the locker room, but in regards to Kaitlyn stepping away from the company, very few people were notified ahead of time, so it came as a surprise to most people.
Shortly after she was released from WWE, Kaitlyn revealed to the fans that she was going to become an entrepreneur and start a new business. It has now been revealed that the former Divas Champion is starting a fitness clothing line.
"Today is the first day of my new life. There's so much to look forward to with big things on the horizon. I learned so much from my experiences with the WWE. I wouldn't change one thing about my career or anything that happened along the way. I hope all of you will continue to follow me and my new endeavors. Speaking of which... None of it would be possible without the help and extreme support of my fiancé @braunfitness. He is making things happen for me and pushing me to do great things. I can never really express my gratitude for all of it. He has built several very successful companies from the ground up and I am learning one day at a time. It's not easy being a BOSS (in every sense of the word). BUT The most important thing he has helped me realize is that this is my opportunity to do things MY way and to create something that is a reflection of me and what I Love."
Wrestling fans were a bit surprised this week when WWE announced that Kaitlyn has left the company. It is now being said that the diva had actually requested her release several months back, but management convinced her to stick around for a little bit longer.
One of the reasons why Kaitlyn is leaving WWE is because she is upset with how management handled her story lines. Often times, her stories were dropped abruptly, and she was also promised a lot of stories that the creative department never delivered upon.
In a bit of a surprise earlier today, WWE announced that Kaitlyn was leaving the company. The former divas champion is said to be walking away from the business, in order to pursue a big project, which has not yet been revealed.
WWE has announced the nominees for the Diva of the Year award, and the list includes AJ Lee, Bella Twins, Funkadactyls, Natalya Neidhart, Kaitlyn and Eva Marie.
WWE diva Kaitlyn is now engaged to a bodybuilder named PJ Braun.
The seven girls of Total Divas were able to beat the other WWE divas in a traditional Survivor Series match. Natalya and Nikki Bella were the last two standing in the ring at the end.
Through Twitter, Kaitlyn congratulates her former on screen rival, Big E Langston, for capturing the WWE Intercontinental Championship from Curtis Axel on Monday Night Raw.
Booker T, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, Kaitlyn, Alicia Fox, Mark Henry, Jimmy Hart and Mick Foley are hosting a Wrestlemania 30 part in New Orleans this weekend.
Dolph Ziggler needed help from a WWE diva to gain revenge on former on screen girlfriend AJ Lee and best friend Big E Langston, so he enlisted the help of Kaitlyn. Ziggler and Kaitlyn were victorious at the Summerslam pay per view.

Without alignment in the game, all souls can go to the same place and be rewarded or punished as their life actions dictate. So not, it's not really a reason to include it in the game. History is . . . and it's plenty good enough of a reason to do so. Whole settings were built around it, as well as the symmetry of the default/greyhawk cosmology.

Q From Debbi Galloway: What is the origin of state of the art?
A The suggestion in the Oxford English Dictionary is that the phrase started out in the late nineteenth century as status of the art, in other words, the current condition or level which some technical art had reached. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the phrase had changed to its modern form with the same meaning of "the current stage of development of a practical or technological subject". It may have changed its form by a simple mistake, or by the process that grammarians call folk etymology or popular etymology, by which words change to fit speaker's misconceptions of their real meanings. By the 1960s the word had shifted sense slightly to the way we use it now, which implies the newest or best techniques in some product or activity.

IPC Statement on Heritage Foundation Voter Fraud Report
Released on Mon, Jun 30, 2008
Lack of evidence is no obstacle for the Heritage Foundation, which on July 10 issued a rambling memorandum claiming that an unknowable yet large number of non-citizens are voting illegally and subverting the electoral process. Rigorous research has shown that voter fraud in the U.S. is almost non-existent and that most allegations of voter fraud by non-citizens stem from faulty records, partisan politics, and common-place error.

Endesa Chile Calls Special Meeting of the Board Over HidroAysén
SANTIAGO — On Wednesday evening, Chilean energy company Colbún surprised the public with an announcement that it would indefinitely suspend its environmental impact assessment study of the HidroAysén dam project in Patagonia. Colbún, who currently holds a 49 percent stake in the massive project, was scheduled to produce a comprehensive analysis of the ecological impact of the 2,500 kilometer transmission line that would bring electricity from the dam itself to the surrounding areas.
Some analysts are looking at the decision as a display of dissatisfaction with an ambiguous government policy on the project. Others wonder if it is a sign that the company has lost faith in their investment. Whatever the motivations, the announcement has demonstrated to the public that the future of HidroAysén is still unclear.
Now, however, Endesa Chile, one of Chile's largest energy companies and a 51 percent stakeholder in the project, has called an emergency meeting of the HidroAysén board in order to discuss the matter further.
It appears that Colbún's decision may not be final after all.
HidroAysén is a US$10 billion joint venture between Colbún and Endesa Chile. The idea is to construct five enormous dams on two of Chile's fastest-flowing rivers, the Baker and the Pascua, located in the middle of Chilean Patagonia. After a 12-year construction period, the five dams would have a combined operational capacity of 2,750 megawatts.
In May 2011, after a three-year review of the environmental damage that the project will cause, HidroAysén eventually received the green light to begin construction.
The transmission line itself is now the target of a rigorous environmental analysis, which is likely to take years. HidroAysén has already delayed this process numerous times, but Colbún has stated that they were planning to complete it by the end of 2012.
If they do decide to suspend the study, it will be difficult to predict how long the delay will be.
In a public statement, Endesa reaffirmed its "permanent commitment to national electrical development" as well as its "historic mission to provide Chile with clean, sustainable, renewable, local energy such as hydroelectric."
The HidroAysén project will involve flooding over 5,000 hectares of land in Southern Chile for its construction. It has been widely criticized by environmental organizations as well as local residents.

Ancient Weapon Lovers GroupHobbies & Interests group with 311 members, open to all members
This group is for everyone who likes all kinds of ancient, roman, medieval, renaissance, and other old weapons and units from the past.
My name is Peter and I'm Brazilian. Basically, I try to survive each year by being as sympathetic and insightful as I can. I'm a huge fan of Star Wars, LotR, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, history and a bit of math, besides literature, Football and geography. I also mod Neverwinter Nights 1 and am currently working on the ToaFR saga, besides a few side projects.

Player "Cally" won at EVE Online despite it being a massively multiplayer game with no victory condition. Other players earn ISK (game currency) by mining, completing quests or killing each other. Cally, on the other hand, simply asked for it. And it worked, and there was nothing they could do about it. Because while the other losers went into the economy as honest workers, or corporations, he realized he could go in as a bank.Photos.com
The novice mode for illegal profiteering.He spent months running the "EVE Intergalactic Bank (EIB)." This offered loans for start-up EVE corporations and miners who wanted to buy tools, with interest rates and repayment plans and yes, we're still talking about a game people apparently play for fun.
Move over Pac-Man!Cally certainly had fun: He fulfilled the secret fantasy of every bank manager in history, when one day, he walked in and just took all the money. All the money was 790 billion ISK, about $170,000 in real dollars, which he used to become the greatest video game villain of all time. He spent a huge chunk of the money to buy a ridiculously powerful warship, another chunk posting a huge bounty on his own head, then sailed off into space just daring people to kill him.
Something like this -- the biggest middle finger in history.The ultimate dickery? He posted a 15-minute video bragging about how he got away with it, mocking his loyal employees at EIB, enemies who failed to stop him and the suckers who basically paid for a second job -- essentially paying for the right to have their money stolen. Understand: Cally is now officially smarter than every Bond villain put together, because he found a way to give an expository monologue without getting killed.

So this is the best you can do, huh? Throw insults at me and run away? I expected more.
Don't worry Pete, I think those ones were aimed for me. The rascal posted something similar on my page, lol.
Now Knight, you're soooooooooo fried. You see, I much prefer Star Wars weaponry as opposed to your Skyrim stuff.
*aims through sniper rifle*
I'm more of a Dark Souls fan and in Dark Souls we have massive two handed weapons such as giant mauls and swords which were once wielded by giants. The weapons can either crush a man or slice him in half and if all of that fails I'll just spam the Wrath of God miracle on you until I have victory. I think my Dragonslayer bow and massive magical enchanted arrows the size of a man themselves should pierce through whatever pile of metal junk you begin flying.
Knight and I do this all the time. Really, I'm used to it by now. Besides, I taunt him constantly at his page, so I can't say it isn't fair.
Please delete this comment, I replied to the wrong post.
Wait, which one? It's a real clusterfuck of comments here...
Sounds like something me and my older brother used to do, :D.
I thought I might join the fight. It's about time someone came in with some awesome Star Wars weaponry.
Here's the kind of stuff we could use around here: Images4.wikia.nocookie.net
Don't worry, I'm always ready to continue mh eternal battle with the evil Knight of Ecclesia. But I think I'll be fighting with my trusty sword, since Knight here loves to use sorcery to negate modern weapons.
Meh, blasters rock. They ROCK!

Turkey's new embassy in Berlin opened
Wednesday, October 31, 2012
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan inaugurated Turkey's new embassy building in Germany's capital city of Berlin.
Speaking at the opening ceremony which was also attended by his wife Emine Erdogan, Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, his German counterpart Guido Westerwelle, as well as prominent businesspeople and representatives from non-governmental organizations, Erdogan reiterated Turkey's commitment to join the European Union.
"Turkey did not give up on its target to become an EU member because we believe in the Union's goals and achievements," Erdogan said, adding that the EU should stick with its enlargement process to provide peace and prosperity for more parts of the world and that the Union is still an important global actor.
Erdogan also urged the Turks living in Germany to integrate and preserve unity and solidarity. Stating that some three million Turks living in Germany constitute one of the most essential elements of the relations between the two countries, Erdogan said, "You should not have the slightest problem when it comes to integration.
Education is still crucial for the Turkish community to be able to participate in all facets of life. We want all Turks in Germany to speak both Turkish and German fluently because we believe that bilingualism is richness and we encourage it." For his part, Westerwelle said welcome to Erdogan in Turkish, telling him that Turkey has written a success story in the last decade.
Erdogan also hoisted the Turkish flag at the new embassy was built over the land which used to house the Ottoman Embassy until 1918 on the Tiergarten Strasse. The new embassy is the largest Turkish foreign mission abroad.

Love it! Small size makes it very comfortable to use. Don't forget to wash your face with soap before using wax strips, otherwise it won't work

These are great for eyebrows.Fast and effective. But due to shape of stripes (rectangular) you might need to touch ups to give perfect shape. It does the most and you just need to touch up. Will order this again and will order bigger ones to my upper lips too.

I tried this instead of heating up sugar wax and messing about with that, always takes so long but using these is super quick. A motivation to keep awesome looking brows!

Reviews about Jaheim albums
Jah | Reviewer: arturo marion------ About the album Appreciation Day performed by Jaheim
Jaheim has been my favorite artist unlike many he has really music on the frintline his lifes experiences has really put his music to life.I've been a fan since high School dating back in 1998.been a supporter and active fan to date regardless of what others think Jaheim is one of my most influential Artist in the game a lot if people are sleeping on Jaheim .nonetheless, Jaheim is my all around inspiration on love.respect for women.the ups and downs of relationships and how to treat a woman his lyrics are commendable on all levels of just that Thank God for his voice, talent and wisdom.
Age Ain't a Factor/P****Appreciation Day | Reviewer: Sarah Boykin(New Brunswick,NJ) rreside now in North Carolina------ About the album Appreciation Day performed by Jaheim
I Love do mean love this album. So very proud of this young man. I'm along time resident of New Brunswick NJ. Our families grew up together 176 memorial parkway. I use to live around the corner from his father. Friends with his mother & entire hoagland family she's looking down on you very very proud. I can remember you and your brother when just kids. His mother had a voice like and angel. Keep up the good work Jaheim was looking forward to you coming to the Carolina's. My nephews said hello. Tyrell Summers, Shakimee Saunders(Red).
Love the Boykin Family
Mind Blowing! | Reviewer: Nichole------ About the album Ghetto Love performed by Jaheim
Wow!!! I was introduced to this album by my dad when it was released ... I was about 10 years old and I knew all the lyrics to each and every track. I must say Jaheim out done himself on this album and I've been waiting patiently for a second album similar to this one! This album is off the hook and its years old! This is the type of music that never gets old/boring like what's being produced today!
Great Album - I love him!!! | Reviewer: Brenda------ About the album The Makings Of A Man performed by Jaheim
I feel him period. His voice, the lyrics, the passion, just everything. I love how he uses some of the old school tunes, like Bobby Womack and Teddy Pendergrass, from back in the day and makes it his own.
Nice rearragement and very creative and unique; not another remake gone bad. When's the concert in the Bay Area? Did I miss it? Better not have. Keep doing your thing Jaheim, you have an old school fan out here for real.

text: CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Neighbors off of Gleason Parkway say they are always seeing workers coming in and out of their neighborhood. But when a white pick up truck pulled up to an open lot and began dismantling a boat lift behind the property, people began wondering what was going on. One woman called 9-1-1. While officers were on their way, the alleged boat lift thieves packed up their score and began to leave the area. That's when another neighbor, (her identity is protected by police), began following the suspects, giving officers turn by turn directions as to their location. The three men were caught and arrested.

Here's to a special night on the ship
North Carolina beats Michigan State in Carrier Classic, but result merely a footnote
SAN DIEGO -- The jersey names all read USA, a perfectly anonymous tribute in a basketball game in which the game itself was merely a footnote to the pomp.
For the record, North Carolina won here aboard the USS Carl Vinson, as the No. 1 Tar Heels topped a work-in-progress Michigan State team 67-55 in the inaugural Carrier Classic on Friday night.
Somewhere down the road, maybe in early March, that bit of information might be important.
On 11-11-11, it wasn't.
In a season ripe with promise, and as a sport ready to take center stage in the absence of the NBA, college basketball tipped off 2011-12 with an event that won't soon be forgotten.
What sounded like a pipe dream -- or maybe more accurately, a crazy man's vision -- came to fruition in real time: a basketball game played beneath the hulking island tower of the USS Carl Vinson with a full moon looming in the distance; stands filled with sailors, Marines, airmen and soldiers; and the "First Fan" and his wife sitting at midcourt.
"We want to make sure you understand how much we appreciate what you do, not just on Veterans Day, but every day of the year," President Barack Obama said before the game.
This game was a daylong tribute to all of that.
Fans and military arrived hours before tip, some ascending to the flight deck via the lift used to put the planes in place. Tar Heel blue and Spartan green mixed among the dress uniforms of the Navy officers and the crackerjacks of the enlisted men. High-fives were exchanged and salutes offered.
Milling around the vast space that is the carrier's flight deck, fans and military personnel alike enjoyed music from an all-sailor rock band -- the wonderfully, appropriately named Destroyers -- snapped pictures, and looked in wonder at the court assembled where planes are supposed to sit.
About an hour before tip, Air Force One was spotted making its approach to its on-base landing. After speaking to both teams, the Obamas came out for the national anthem.
Just as B. Taylor finished the final note of "the brave" in the national anthem, two fighter jets executed an exquisitely timed flyover, and then Obama addressed the crowd as the Heels and Spartans listened, both teams wearing camouflage-themed uniforms.
It was a spectacle, but a spectacle in the best sense of the word.
"I enjoyed every possible thing about it," UNC coach Roy Williams said. "Hopefully I'll be coaching another 10 or 15 years, but I think it's going to be hard to top this."
That the game didn't live up to the pregame is a forgivable offense.
It would have been hard to match in the best of circumstances, and in the first game of the season for both teams, no one expected this to be that sort of game.
"It wasn't a pretty game to watch, but we knew that," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "I'm not sure anyone thought it was going to be pretty."
North Carolina is too good, Michigan State too raw and, truthfully, the surroundings too overwhelming.
The game began in bright sunlight and finished in the dark, a cool wind blew and then calmed, and the players had to adjust to shooting in the ultimate depth-perception nightmare -- floating baskets with the sky as a backdrop.
Even more than the court configurations, it was the hoopla that took some adjusting to. The players were on the court for all of it, their traditional pregame layup lines interrupted for the Obamas' arrival.
Harrison Barnes admitted it took a good 10 minutes of game time before he stopped observing and started playing.
Even then, there was a break from normalcy -- at the first media timeout, the ship held its daily retiring of the colors. The big-screen video board showed sailors bringing in the Vinson's flag as the band played "To the Colors."
"I was just sort of jogging, waving, 'Oh hey, hi, there's a sailor,'" Barnes said. "We're all just looking around, taking it easy, looking around. I had to remind myself, 'OK, this is a game. I have to focus.' It was hard."
North Carolina was able to focus, or at least refocus, which is what the Heels ought to remember after they come out of the stupor of the show.
UNC trailed Michigan State 15-8 early, hardly an insurmountable lead. Except with the way the Spartans were rebounding and the way the Tar Heels weren't, the action looked more lopsided than the score. MSU held a dominating 17-4 rebounding edge at one point, 8-1 on the offensive glass.
The Heels never entirely righted those numbers -- State won the boards 49-34 -- which is partially why Williams gave his team only a C for the game.
But North Carolina did start to dictate the game, forcing turnovers -- 15 in all -- and getting out in its beloved transition game to score 13 easy points. The seven-point hole eventually became a 20-point lead as the Heels ultimately overwhelmed the Spartans with skill and numbers.
"I liked my team's focus," Williams said. "It was a difficult environment; there's no question about that."
It was equally tricky, of course, for the Spartans. Michigan State is a young team in age and game experience, and the bright lights and surreal atmosphere surely were hard for those players to process, too.
And while the Spartans didn't leave the deck with a win, they left with plenty to build on. A year ago, Michigan State was a picture of dysfunction, a team that started No. 2 in the country and stumbled out of the polls and out of the NCAA tournament in the first round.
A couple of players transferred and Kalin Lucas graduated, leaving Izzo with a new group to mold. The mold still hasn't taken shape altogether, but there were good signs.
That 20-point deficit was cut in half at one point, and the Spartans' rebounding edge resembled that of vintage Izzo teams, unlike the imposter of a year ago.
"We've got nothing to hang our heads about," senior forward Draymond Green said. "We stood up to the No. 1 team in the nation. We're going to be fine. We got back to the old Michigan State ways, playing defense and rebounding. They're the better team than us right now, but if we meet again, you don't know. I love my guys. I'll go to war with these guys any day."
The analogy -- to go to war -- of course struck an especially strong chord on this night, when men and women are preparing for deployments that will put them in the middle of a real war, one without a scoreboard or referee.
After the game ended, Green summoned the players from North Carolina onto the court. He already had suggested to his teammates that they give their one-time-only camouflage unis to the military men and women in attendance.
He suggested the Tar Heels do the same.
They agreed.
"I knew they were a class program like we were," Green said. "No one said anything like, 'No, we want to keep our jersey.' They just went and did it."
And so when the game ended, the players walked to midcourt for a quick picture. There was handshaking with the Obamas, and then, one by one, they peeled off their jerseys and handed them out.
In the crowd, a chant rang out.
Just like it said on the backs of the jerseys.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
WICHITA, Kan. — Fire crews from Sedgwick and Sumner Counties were busy Wednesday afternoon, battling a series of grass fires in the southwest portion of the county.
Crews were called to the area of K-42 and MacArthur just before 1 p.m.
When firefighters arrived on scene, they found several fires burning along K-42 between MacArthur and 199th Street West.
The smoke caused low visibility, so Sedgwick County Sheriff's deputies closed the highway while crews worked to get the fires under control.
A short time later, a couple of fires were reported along K-49 in Sumner County between Viola and Conway Springs.
Investigators are working to determine if the fires were arson or whether something from a vehicle going down the road caused them.

One night after a speech by President Barack Obama in Charlottesville, state Sen. Robert Hurt is back in town.
Volunteers at the 5th District Republican candidate's campaign office made phone calls throughout the day, asking potential voters for support. The state senator was not in Charlottesville for Obama's appearance, as he was campaigning in the southern part of the district.
Hurt said though he welcomes the president to the area, Obama's appearance shows U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello's allegiance to the president's policies.
"It shows that the president is grateful to Tom Perriello for voting with him as opposed to voting for the people who he represents," Hurt said.
Hurt will have a rally of his own on Friday beginning at 5 p.m. at his Albemarle Square campaign office. Speakers include Gov. Bob McDonnell and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.
