Today I received an interesting email which I have been given permission to repost. I think this is right on the money and requires no comment from me while simultaneously serving as a jumping-off point for discussion.

Leader Boehner has shown that he totally disrespects the Congressional District Executives in his public support and fund raising for Parker Grifith before the Republican 5th Congressional District Primary. This action by the Minority Leader undermines the Republican Primary Political process and tramples those honest and loyal Republican Candidates, Mo Brooks and Les Phillip of the Alabama 5th Congressional District.

Executive members in the Alabama 5th Congressional District have warned the Alabama Republican Delegation and National Leadership to keep out of the Primary, they have not only refused our request of neutrality but have chosen to escalate this dispute.

Once again the Republican Party has the advantage and the Republican Leadership manages to fumble the ball. Leader John Boehner lost the House because of poor leadership, failing to take the lead on key issues like Tort Reform and reducing government spending. Looking to John Boehner to continue to lead us after he ran the ship aground is irresponsible. After John Boehner’s repeated failure as Majority and Minority Leader why should North Alabama Republicans respect his endorsement of [Democrat] Parker Griffith for Congress.

Bottom line, The Congressional District Primaries are the responsibility of the Local Executive Committee’s, State and National Party leaders must remain neutral until after the Primary. If the State and National Party leadership desires a third party they are taking the proper steps to insure that goal.

So I just checked my bank account to see if a few bills had cleared and there was WAY too much money in the account. Confused, I perused the activity. Turns out, my tax return deposited this weekend despite the fact that ever time I checked on Where’s My Return I was told that the IRS had nothing on file.

Now I can go pay more bills.

You have a very important date!

Come see Alice in Wonderland at midnight next Thursday night/Friday morning (evening of March 4th/moring of March 5th) in IMAX 3D on a FLAT screen (no dome like in Huntsville) at Opry Mills 20 & IMAX in Nashville, TN.

Tickets are $17.25 after taxes and processing fees and can be purchased here.

I’ve set up a Facebook Event for RSVP purposes. Once we see how many people are going, we’ll work out caravanning an other sundry details. My plan is to leave Huntsville around 2000 (8PM for those of you not inclined to 24-hour time formating), arrive at the theater around 2200 (10PM) and get our seats early. You will probably want to bring folding chairs in case there is a line. I attended The Dark Knight‘s debut and they started letting people into the theater at 2230 (10:30PM).

You’re more than welcome to bring as many guests as you like; both you and your guests need to RSVP.

Please do not RSVP until after you have purchased your tickets. Neither I nor the group are responsible if you get to the theater without a ticket. I hear the weather will be cold that night and I’m not sure Regal will let you bum in their lobby.

Any further details can be discussed on the Facebook event page or in the comments below.

See you at the theater!
