Runyan's property taxes on the three acres surrounding his Mount Laurel mansion should be $62,000 but because he chopped wood and raised donkeys on his other 20 acres, his property tax bill was $123.80. The paper opined, "As a congressman, Runyan votes on tax policy. He knows he holds the public's trust, not a football, in his hands. Accordingly, he should take a pass on accepting a tax break that wasn't meant for homeowners playacting as farmers." [Philadelphia Inquirer, Editorial 12/06/11] Press of Atlantic City: Farmland Assessments Ripe for Reform In December 2011, an editorial from the Press of Atlantic City criticized a farmland assessment program in New Jersey that provided a 98 percent tax break on land used for agricultural programs due to loose definitions on the word "farmers". The editorial mentioned that "farmers" only needed to earn at least $500 a year for two years from agricultural uses to get the tax break on the portion of land that produced income. The editorial said that the program needed an overhaul and criticized it for making it easier for the wealthy to maintain their estates. The head of the New Jersey Sierra Club said, "If the primary use of a property isn't agriculture, then the farmland assessment shouldn't apply." [Press of Atlantic City, Editorial, 12/06/11] Courier-Post: Runyan Should Lead Charge For Veterans' Issues In October 2011, a Courier-Post editorial called on Runyan to make veterans' issues a priority given his seat on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, and called for improvements in medical care for wounded or disabled veterans that must come from the federal government. The editorial pointed to the following statement from Runyan's website: "The current backlog of claims in the Department of Veterans' Affairs is a disgrace. The backlog is forcing our veterans to deal with too much bureaucratic red-tape to obtain the benefits they earned with their service to our country." The 2 board said Runyan needed to do more on the issue than merely issuing statements. [Courier-Post, Editorial, 10/14/11] Budget Issues Signed Letter Requesting Special Earmarks, Despite GOP Ban In April 2012, Runyan joined 65 freshman House Republicans in signing a letter requesting that party leadership consider a miscellaneous tariff bill "jampacked with special provisions to suspend duties on various foreign goods, even though it runs counter to the earmark ban Republicans campaigned on in 2010 and instituted when they took power." [House Ways and Means Committee, Letter, 4/20/12; Politico, 4/24/12] Supported Legislation Which Prevents Defense Cuts by Cutting Federal Workforce In January 2012, Runyan asked Obama to "reverse damaging sequestration cuts on the horizon by joining [him] in supporting H.R. 3662, the Down Payment to Protect National Security Act." "The Down Payment to Protect National Security Act would prevent a further round of cuts, beyond the $465 billion already announced by the President, from hitting our military as a result of sequestration and is fully offset. H.R. 3662 achieves the first year of savings required in sequestration through attrition in the federal workforce by 10% over ten years." [YouTube, uploaded 1/24/12] Runyan: Obama's Defense Cuts Are 'Scary' In January 2012, Runyan said President' Obama's defense cuts of $487 billion over 10 years were "scary." "I can tell you it's scary because I do sit on the (House) Readiness Subcommittee," he said. "In dealing with the threats out there nationwide, there's a lot of questions of, 'Are we prepared to deal with Iran? And help our allies in Israel defend themselves against Iran? Are we prepared to deal with the Japanese and the threat that China poses to them?' Those are a lot of questions and I don't think a lot of people can give you a straight answer on them. Because I don't think we are prepared for it." Despite the cuts, Runyan said that Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst was positioned to endure budget cuts and would continue to thrive. "I think that base is going to continue to grow. I can tell you, the more we grow it, the further down that BRAC (Base Closure and Realignment Commission) list it comes," Runyan said. [Asbury Park Press, 1/11/12] Hosted Armed Services Discussion with Area Defense Contractors In December 2011, Runyan hosted a meeting of Area defense contractors centered on Defense Department procurement policies and other regulations impacting contracting with the Pentagon. Runyan said the meeting brought to light several issues small businesses faced when working with the Defense Department. 3 "It's all about jobs," he said. "Small businesses are the ones that create most of them, and our discussions centered on what Congress can do to make that easier. Sometimes it can take years. There are some frustrations about how the process continues to work…People don't think about defense, but it's really the last manufacturing base this country has." [phillyburbs.com, 12/11/11] Said Federal Cuts to the DOD Budget Would Be Devastating In November 2011, Runyan criticized automatic defense cuts that would come with the failure of the Super Committee and said that they would cost over a million potential US jobs and would harm national defense. Runyan said, "I don't think that the world, as we sit here, is getting any safer, whether you're talking Iran and their nuclear capabilities or you're talk about the rest of the Middle East. Again, we look at our ability to defend this country and I think it's in question." [wobmam.com, 11/23/11] Earmarked $3 Million for Airborne Reconnaissance Systems In February 2011, Runyan earmarked $9.311 million in the FY2012 National Defense Authorization Act to improve airborne reconnaissance capabilities.

Eric Cantor's efforts to tie disaster relief with budget cuts. In a statement, Runyan said that "now is not the time for a budget debate when so many people and communities are still under water and many without power. While I respect Majority Leader Cantor and 4 share his commitment to spending discipline, my focus right now is making sure hard-hit areas in New Jersey receive the necessary federal resources they need in order to recover." [rollcall.com, 09/02/11] Voted for Final Debt Ceiling Compromise Legislation In August 2011, Runyan voted for the final debt ceiling compromise legislation, the Budget Control Act of 2011. The framework would cut $917 billion in spending over a decade, raise the debt limit initially by $900 billion and assign a special congressional committee, with members from the House and the Senate and appointed by congressional leadership, to find another $1.5 trillion in deficit savings by late November. If Congress met that deadline and deficit target, or voted to send a balanced budget amendment to the states, the debt ceiling would be raised an additional $1.5 trillion. The plan guaranteed a vote on the balanced budget amendment between October and the end of 2011. If Congress failed to take either step, or debt savings of at least $1.2 trillion were not produced, the plan allows the president to obtain a $1.2 trillion debt ceiling increase. That would trigger automatic spending cuts across the government – including in defense and Medicare – to take effect starting in 2013. The Medicare cuts would only affect Provider reimbursements. The legislation included no revenue increases. The bill was passed by the full House, 269-161. [Bloomberg, 8/01/11; S 356, 8/01/11] Voted Against Reid's Debt Ceiling Plan In July 2011, Runyan voted against Sen. Harry Reid's plan to raise the debt ceiling.

The plan included $1.2 trillion in discretionary spending cuts over 10 years, mandatory spending cuts of $100 billion, $1 trillion in savings from winding down combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and $400 billion in interest savings. The legislation included no revenue increases. The CBO score of Reid's plan said it would reduce the deficit by $2.2 trillion. The bill was rejected by the full House, 173-246.

Boehner's plan called for an immediate debt ceiling raise of $900 billion, spending cuts of $917 billion over 10 years, and an additional debt ceiling vote in six months. The legislation contained no revenue increases. 5 Under Boehner's plan, the second debt ceiling raise was conditional on the passage of a balanced budget amendment by both Houses of Congress and the creation of a select joint committee on deficit reduction. The CBO score of Boehner's plan said it would reduce the deficit by $850 billion. The bill was approved by the full house, 218-210.

Runyan said, "No one wants to see the U.S. default on its debt, but telling Americans that the government will be unable to make these payments is a scare tactic by this administration and shows a lack of leadership…regardless of whether a final agreement is reached by Aug. 2, CBO figures indicate that revenues will continue to come into federal coffers." [phillyburbs.com, 7/17/11] Voted to Restore Funding to ACE Flood Controls and Coastal Emergencies Program In July 2011, Runyan voted for HR 2354, the FY 2012 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill, which among other things, restores the funding level for the Army Corps of Engineers Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies (FCCE) account to $27 million for fiscal year 2012. Runyan said, "I am thrilled that I was able to help pass a bill that cuts spending and reduces the deficit while also restoring funding for emergency coastal repair projects. This funding has been critical in helping coastal towns rebuild their beaches and infrastructure after they have been decimated by coastal storms, especially those on Long Beach Island." [Toms River News, 7/19/11] Voted in Favor of Cut, Cap and Balance Plan In July 2011, Runyan voted in favor of the Cut, Cap and Balance Act, legislation requiring deep spending cuts, a federal spending cap and a balanced budget amendment in order to raise the federal debt ceiling.

The bill was rejected by the full House, 97-318. Runyan said, "Today I voted with a majority of my House colleagues on both sides of the aisle against unconditionally raising the nation's debt ceiling," Runyan said. "To take on any more debt without a meaningful, long-term plan to substantially reduce federal spending, grow our economy and create jobs is simply irresponsible. We must stop saddling our children and grandchildren for generations to come with debt they will never be able to repay."

According to the Herald News, Runyan voted against the bill after voting for it in committee in April.

Unfortunately, my amendment was not allowed by the House Committee on Rules, and therefore prevented from consideration on the House floor. […] Today's legislation failed to give New Jersey its voice in the process, and for that reason it failed to earn my vote." Runyan offered the same amendment in committee and it failed there on a 28-15 vote.

Senator Coburn said programs were created to "encourage individuals in agricultural pursuits. Farmers that are millionaires no longer need this encouragement. Further, a millionaire landowner should not be paid by the government to preserve their land." Runyan said he paid his fair share of property taxes and followed the law to keep his farmland assessment. Runyan almost lost the tax break in 2009 after being informed that keeping a single donkey was not sufficient to qualify his acreage as farmland, but a year later he reported keeping 4 donkeys and kept the tax break. In addition, Runyan defended Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen for taking the tax break and said, "They're probably in the same boat. My guess is they're probably paying more because they have 11 bigger homes than I have and the area they live in is an area that's more expensive than it is down here." [The Philadelphia Inquirer, 12/6/11] Inquirer: Calling Your Yard a Farm Doesn't Make it One In December 2011, an editorial from the Philadelphia Inquirer criticized a New Jersey program that provided a 98 percent property tax-break for farmland, and cited abuses of the program.

[Courier-Post, 5/03/11] Questioned the United States Military Involvement in Libya In March, 2011, Runyan questioned the strategic mission of the United States military in Libya.

RetireSafe honored a bipartisan group of Members of Congress who worked to protect senior health care benefits by ensuring access to affordable medications through Medicare Part D and by opposing proposals that would limit health care access and would increase premiums for seniors in Medicare. A representative from RetireSafe said, "It seems Medicare is being attacked from all directions. Seniors need champions in Washington who are on their side, who aren't afraid to stand up and preserve the benefits that our older Americans have earned." [digitaljournal.com, 11/01/11] Retiresafe.org Supported Privatizing Social Security. Retirsafe.org has claimed "Personal retirement accounts (PRAs) are good for individuals and good for the economy […] PRA is an account you own and control made up of a portion of your existing payroll taxes invested in stocks, bonds, mutual funds or simple government T-bills." [Human Events, 05/16/03] RetireSafe Created "Artificial Grassroots Campaign" in Support of Republican Backed Medicare Policy. Faced with an unenthusiastic response to the Republican Prescription Drug Law, RetireSafe attempted to manufacture paid, artificial praise for the program. RetireSafe paid "healthcare consultants $3,750 plus expenses over six weeks to generate positive news stories about the drug 14 card and offer support to Congress for voting for the Medicare drug law." This effort was widely recognized as a right-wing organized sham to create the appearance of public support for what in reality, was little more than a handout to drug companies. Larry Noble, executive director of the Center for Responsive Politics, noted that this "artificial grassroots campaign" was to end a couple of days before the election. He described the initiative as "particularly underhanded." [The Hill, 9/22/04] Criticized Democratic Attempts to "Scare Seniors" on Medicare In July 2011, Runyan said that the DCCC had called constituents in his district "attempting to scare seniors" about the House-passed Medicare plan.

[Office of Congressman Runyan, 6/16/11] Voted Against Ensuring that No Funds Be Cut From Social Security or Medicare In 2011, Runyan voted against an amendment that would ensure that no funds in HJ Res 48, the House resolution to keep the government funded through April 8, could be used to cut Social Security or Medicare benefits, privatize Social Security, or switch Medicare to a voucher plan. [philly.com, 3/20/11] Received Healthcare Coverage from the National Football League In 2011, the Daily Record reported that Jon Runyan received his family health care coverage from a National Football League Retiree plan. [dailyrecord.com, 2/18/11] Public Campaign Action Fund Criticized Runyan for Health Care Vote In January 2011, the Public Campaign Action Fund launched an ad criticizing Runyan for his vote to repeal the health care bill. "Spanking-new Congressman Jon Runyan -- who took $54,000 from health and insurance interests -- just voted to put big insurance companies back in charge of your health care," the ad said. [Asbury Park Press, 1/21/11] Immigration and Border Issues Israel 15 Labor and Working Family Issues Pleaded With Pharmacy to Keep Plant Open In January 2012, Runyan sent a letter to Express Scripts, which recently acquired New Jersey-based Medco Health Solutions, to confirm the acquisition would not result in the closure of Medco's automated processing center in Willingboro. In his letter, Runyan noted the facility's status as Medco's largest automated mail-service pharmacy on the East Coast and its ability to dispense more than 1 million prescriptions a week. Runyan also noted that the facility is one of the few immunology/HIV resource centers in the area. "New Jersey is known as the medicine chest of America because of the impact of New Jersey's health care industry on America's health and well-being," Runyan wrote. "Medco's Willingboro pharmacy is part and parcel of that industry, and it is my hope that should your merger with Medco occur, you retain and grow this important facility." [phillyburbs.com, 1/09/12] Received $41,450 in Labor Campaign Contributions In November 2011, Runyan received $41,450 in labor contributions.

[Politico, 11/17/11] Voted to Repeal the Home Affordable Modification Program In 2011, Runyan voted to repeal a program that used federal subsidies to induce banks to ease the terms of mortgages before they reach foreclosure. Under the banks either reduce mortgage payments to 31 percent or less of monthly gross income or facilitate a property sale before foreclosure occurs.

[philly.com, 3/20/11] 16 Other Social Issues Courier-Post: Runyan Should Lead Charge For Veterans' Issues In October 2011, a Courier-Post editorial called on Runyan to make veterans' issues a priority given his seat on the Veterans' Affairs Committee, and called for improvements in medical care for wounded or disabled veterans that must come from the federal government. The editorial pointed to the following statement from Runyan's website: "The current backlog of claims in the Department of Veterans' Affairs is a disgrace. The backlog is forcing our veterans to deal with too much bureaucratic red-tape to obtain the benefits they earned with their service to our country." The board said Runyan needed to do more on the issue than merely issuing statements. [Courier-Post, Editorial, 10/14/11] Veteran's Suicide Prevention Amendment Co-Authored by Runyan Passes House In June 2011, an amendment "setting aside an additional $20 million for preventing suicide among military veterans" and co-authored by Runyan passed the house.

"The failures of these offices to process claims in a timely manner is unacceptable…We continue to throw money and employees at this problem to solve the claims backlog and yet the problems are getting worse.

[Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs, 6/03/11] Runyan Lauded Veterans Bill Intended to "Streamline" Claims and Appeals Process In June 2011, Runyan lauded the passage of the Veterans Appeals Improvement Act of 2011, intended to "streamline the claims and appeals process for disabled veterans at the Department of Veterans Affairs." Runyan commented, "We must do right by our veterans by continually improving the claims process and continuing to make changes to help those veterans who are currently stuck in a failed paper-based system." [Office of Congressman Runyan, 6/01/11] Runyan Sponsored Legislation To Provide Cost Of Living Adjustments To Veterans Disability Benefits. 17 In May 2011, the House passed HR 1407, The Veterans' Compensation Cost-of-Living Adjustment Act of 2011 by a voice vote. The legislation was Runyan's first sponsored legislation, and provided cost of living adjustment in veterans' disability benefits equal to the cost of living adjustments that social security benefits are subject to. Runyan said, "It increases the amount provided for disabled veterans compensation, veterans' clothing allowance, and dependency and indemnity compensation for veterans' survivors by the amount of the social security cost of living adjustment." [HR 1407; Office of Congressman Runyan, 5/23/11] Opposed Legislation to Redirect Airplanes Away from New Jersey Residents' Homes In 2011, Runyan opposed legislation that would prevent the Federal Aviation Administration from rerouting air traffic into and out of the New Jersey region's airports. "Looking at this, we realize this is a very real and negative impact on the region, including a potential for a decrease in home values…The new flight patterns, which would be considered here over the region, should not be implemented until a thorough study of alternatives is presented to Congress," said Rep. Scott Garrett, one of the sponsors. Homeowners and officials in places such as the Pascack Valley and New York's Rockland County have been fighting for years to stop the redesign, which the FAA began to implement in 2008. Garrett's measure, an amendment to a bill authorizing the FAA's operations, was defeated 303-120 on Thursday night. [northjersey.com, 4/02/11] Stem Cells Tax Issues Voted Against Payroll Tax Cut In December 2011, Runyan was one of six New Jersey GOP House members who voted against legislation that would have extended a payroll tax cut for two months on 160 million Americans.

[courierpostonline.com, 12/22/11] Runyan: Payroll Tax Standoff Had Nothing to with Inability to Compromise In January 2012, Runyan claimed that the December standoff over the payroll tax cut extension had nothing to do with Congress' inability to compromise. With regards to his constituents' concerns, Runyan said, "People have to plan for this. It's what we're really trying to avoid, so, I understand their frustration, I see their frustration, I feel their frustration. We live it everyday and I see that type of stuff, but I think at the end of the day, you can count on us to get it done." [http://wobmam.com, 1/18/12] 18 Acknowledged Possible Need to Raise Taxes In November 2011, Runyan acknowledged the potential need to raise taxes. Runyan said, "I still maintain that increasing taxes on individuals or businesses during an economic downturn is not the way to go. Having said that, we are facing unprecedented economic challenges." [philly.com, 11/15/11] Spoke Out Against Tax Increases at Town Hall In 2011, Runyan spoke out against tax increases at a recent town hall, especially those that could impact small businesses. Runyan cited tax reform as a necessary component to fix the economy and get people working. He said, "You have companies out there ready to hire people; they want to hire more people; but they're afraid. The reason is that they don't know what their tax rate will be and what their health care costs will be."

Geography and the Cloud in Recruiting and Training the Cadre
Written by Gary North on February 26, 2015
For an organization that has a message that supposedly is able to transform the world, the American Right has certainly proven to be completely incapable of recruiting and training cadres of true believers who are willing to go out and spread the message. I was aware of this five decades ago. In my opinion, not […]

Sisters Heath and Landon Slane teamed up in 1997 to design a collection of high-end sterling silver jewelry that would become "tomorrow's heirlooms." Though their company's name has changed over the years (original name: Slane & Slane), its sources of inspiration — architecture, nature, and spirituality — remain the same. Handcrafted from recycled silver and 18-karat gold, Slane jewelry includes a series dedicated to bees (stand-out pieces: diamond pavé rings shaped like honeycomb), luxurious tassel earrings and pendants made of tiny basket-weave beads, Maltese crosses, mixed-metal fleur de lis pendants, and bold column bangle bracelets featuring contrasting textures and classic shapes. Slane has appeared on the covers of Vogue and Town & Country and adorned the likes of Gisele and Oprah.
Two Southern sisters have created this fine jewelry line that marries elegance with modern design. Queen bees will love the pearl earrings and multi-strand necklaces of pearls and silver. Colorful pendants and the earrings with black onyx and diamonds will also garner some buzz.
During the Holidays, Gilt is accepting fine jewelry returns for account credit only. In order to return your purchase, the tag must be attached. Happy Holidays!
Born and raised in High Point, North Carolina, sisters Heath and Landon Slane came to the business of designing jewelry with the resources that might otherwise have put them through graduate school. After varied career explorations and experiences in Santa Fe, Los Angeles and New York, the sisters came together in 1995 with the vision of creating sterling silver designer jewelry with the same quality and detail that historically had been dedicated only to gold and platinum. Numerous childhood influences would shape their design sensibility, not the least of which was an utter fascination with their stylish and worldly grandmothers. Portraying restrained elegance with flourishes of a grand scale or splashes of vibrant color, the girls' eyes were trained on a style that never looked predictable, but always looked appropriate. It is this sensibility which defines their design aesthetic. Distinctive finishes in both their sterling silver and 18 karat gold designs characterize collections which are at once familiar but new. Drawing inspiration from a myriad of sources, each symbolic to one or the other, the sisters have defined a look that seamlessly complements the wardrobes of women in the workplace, out for the evening or at play on the weekend. Worn individually, mixed or matched, Slane & Slane's Collections are appreciated both for their understated elegance as well as for their playful exuberance. With features in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and InStyle Magazine, Slane & Slane is an exciting addition to Gilt Groupe.
Striking rings, earrings, and pendants to take your evening attire to the next level.
North Carolina-born sisters Heath and Landon Slane are behind this fine jewelry line, so it's no surprise that their modern pieces evoke such decidedly stately charm. Inspired by architecture and nature, this luxurious collection includes delicate drop diamond earrings, a stunning white moonstone cocktail ring, and one gorgeous item we've got our eye on: a set of five column rings with a pavé center band.

Automotive Digital Marketing ProCom
Professional Community for Car Dealers, Automotive Marketers and Sales Managers
When writing content – whether that content is a short, social media post or blog article, or a full-length feature article – form is just as important as the content itself.
Proper spelling and grammar can dictate whether your content is received well or not. It's not uncommon for readers to start reading an article or social media post that initially grabbed their attention but change their mind upon encountering spelling and grammar errors. It's very easy for a reader's attention to get transferred away from the content and towards the errors. There are entire websites devoted to unfortunate spelling errors. All of a sudden the content you created with the goal of engaging your audience is engaging them in a completely different way than originally intended.
Imagine the impression you leave on prospects when a sales sheet or brochure contains these mistakes. That person who was interested in your product or service could very easily rule you out as a solution. If you don't care enough to make sure your own marketing material, social media post or content is professional looking, then how can you expect your customer to think it is?
Writing isn't for everyone. Some people can write very good content but aren't great at spelling and grammar. Then there are people who aren't necessarily great writers but have the ability to edit well. Identifying these people within your organization and teaming them up is a step in the right direction. If you don't have the resources available to accomplish this, one solution would be to outsource your content marketing or, at the very least, hire a professional proofreader or editor. This ensures that your content portrays you in the very best light to your audience.
For those without the support team or budget to use either of the services I mentioned, here are two tips that may help you improve the impression your writing leaves upon your readers:
Publishing content riddled with spelling and grammar errors is counter-productive. Your content is a reflection of you and your company. Potential readers may bypass your article entirely, or cease reading it, if they encounter too many mistakes. This then defeats the purpose of the content as it can hurt the effectiveness of any campaign and even your overall professional image.
I agree wholeheartedly with the thoughts put forth here. If I get any material that is grammatically correct, I assume the person or company is not up to par to perform whatever it is they are trying to sell.
But why do we accept this when speaking?

Email Auto Responder
Auto-responders allows you to set up automated replies to incoming email. This feature can be useful for confirming the receipt of mail, or for informing correspondents that the recipient is unavailable (for example, while on vacation).
To Add or Edit an Auto Responder
To view auto responders for a specific domain on your account, please log into cPanel and click the Auto Responders button in the Mail section.
- Click Add Autoresponder to create a new auto responder. Or, find a current auto responder and click Edit.
- Choose a character set.
- Specify the interval, in hours, you wish for the autoresponder to wait between responses to the same email address.
- For example, if you set up an autoresponder with an interval of 24, and you receive an email from firstname.lastname@example.com at 8 am on Monday, the autoresponder will respond to his message immediately. If, however, email@example.com continues to email you throughout the day, the autoresponder will not send him another response for 24 hours after his initial email (in this case, 8 am Tuesday). If he emails you again after the 24-hour interval expires, he will receive an auto response.
- Define the email address whose mail you wish the system to respond to.
- In the From and Subject fields, type the username and subject you want to appear in the response.
- If the message includes HTML tags, click the HTML Message checkbox.
- In the Body field, type the text of the response.
- Click Create/Modify to store the new auto responder.
In the message body, you can include tags, enclosed in percent signs (%). You can use these tags to insert information, such as the incoming email's sender or subject, into the body of the email. Available tags are:
- %subject% — The subject of the message that was sent to the auto responder.
- %from% — The name of the sender of the message received by the auto responder, if available. (If the sender's name was not received, %from% will print the sender's email address.)
- %email% — The sender's email address.
Remove an Auto Responder
To delete an auto responder:
- Click Delete next to the appropriate auto responder.
- Click Yes to confirm that the responder should be deleted.
- If you wish to keep the auto responder, click No.
