Picking up new (free - told you!) frames at optician, then dropping off 2 sets of dinette set chair cushions for power cleaning and hoping for the best.

No snow to shovel. I am disappointed.

 

[CES]

Enjoy your new frames and the lack of shoveling, Bear.

Time for me to get in gear. Have a good one y'all

Federal Support for Anti-Tobacco Advocacy Raises Legal Questions | Washington Free Beacon

Dan Epstein, executive director of the government watchdog group Cause of Action, said his group investigated similar allegations of federally funded lobbying efforts financed by Obamacare and the 2009 stimulus bill.

COA dug into Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) grants through its stimulus-funded Communities Putting Prevention to Work program.

Ostensibly a “preventative health” project, CPPW “laundered money through so-called stealth lobbying coalitions, formed to skirt prohibitions on lobbying by non-profits, in order to promote local laws banning otherwise legal consumer products such as sodas, e-cigarettes, and fast food,” COA wrote in a report on the program.

“We already uncovered multiple organizations around the country that illegally lobbied with federal taxpayer dollars under the Communities Putting Prevention to Work program,” Epstein wrote in an email.
