**APROPOS US INDEPENDENCE DAY: AYN RAND
Perhaps no other author is more appropriate for the times than Ayn Rand. As government marches the US towards European style socialism or worse, Rand's message resonates.

A favorite passage of many in 'Atlas Shrugged' is a monologue by the character Francisco d'Anconia: "Let me give you a clue to men's characters: the man who damns money has obtained it dishonorably; the man who respects it has earned it...Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil. That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another--their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun."

RUBIO RAISES MORE THAN $34 THOUSAND IN 2 DAYS

Marco Rubio, candidate for Republican Primary for US Senate, Florida, spoke to supporters in Jacksonville. Senate Conservatives, a group unaffiliated with Republican campaign committees, has endorsed Rubio. Currently Rubio is challenging Gov. Charlie Crist and Dr. Marion Thorpe for the GOP contender seat.

An email from Marco Rubio's campaign says the candidate raised more than $34 thousand in 2 days online at the end of June, "surpassing our ambitious goal of $125,000 raised online in the second fundraising quarter." Rubio will of course need a big war chest to mount a viable challenge to Gov. Charlie Crist.

Former Arkansasgovernor Mike Huckabee also endorsed Rubio, on the heels of an endorsement from the Senate Conservatives fund.

Vets for Freedom highlights congressional winners who are veterans

DateTuesday, November 11, 2008 at 09:24AM

The Veterans Memorial at Billard Park in Jacksonville.Vets for Freedom focuses on public education about the global war on terrorism, with a singular difference from other groups. The organization has first hand knowledge of the war because members have served. Eight VFF members returned to Iraq this summer and the trip culminated with a report, “Report from Iraq: Results and Lessons of the Surge." A statement at the VFF website said, “Using our first hand accounts of the facts on the ground today--juxtaposed against the differences from when we served in Iraq as Soldiers and Marines--we created a document that examines the observable progress of the counter insurgency strategy from the unique perspective of the veteran. These observations are further substantiated by the milestones and benchmarks achieved by both the Iraqi military and government in the past year.”

The VFF website also features a congratulatory message to 6 veterans elected to congressional office Nov. 6:
•Jim Marshall (D-GA)
•Duncan Hunter (R-CA)
•Senator James Inhofe (R-OK)
•Steve Stivers (R-OH)
•John Kline (R-MN)
•Tom Rooney (R-FL)

The US Report sends thanks to all veterans and active troops. Our freedom rests on your shoulders. And for those who want first-hand accounts of US veterans in action, the VFF is an excellent resource.
