Stimulus
projects under budget, Obama says “Competition for these projects is so fierce and contractors are doing such a good job cutting costs, the projects are consistently coming in under budget,” Obama said Monday. The president gave a rapid-fire list of savings: a bid for road work in Connecticut is $8.4 million less than the state budgeted, Louisiana has a project coming in $4.7 million less than expected, projects in Colorado are averaging about 30 percent under the state forecast and some bids in California are nearly half of what the state projected. The administration says those savings will
stretch the agency’s $48 billion-dollar stimulus budget.
“Our recovery dollars can go further and we can do more
projects,” said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said,
“This is great news.” |

Weekly
Address: President Obama Says Nations Must Unite To Overcome
Global Challenges In his weekly address, President Barack Obama extended his best wishes to everyone celebrating this week’s Passover and Easter holidays and called on nations around the world to come together to solve the current trials facing the world. On the heels of his weeklong trip overseas, the President said he believes it is important to acknowledge no single nation can solve global problems like a recession, international terrorism, climate change, or nuclear proliferation. But, working with other nations, the United States can lead the way in overcoming these challenges. |

Weekly Address: Passover & Easter This week the President discusses the multitude
of problems and opportunities before the world through the prism
of Passover and Easter: "These are two very different holidays
with their own very different traditions. But it seems fitting
that we mark them both during the same week. For in a larger
sense, they are both moments of reflection and renewal. They
are both occasions to think more deeply about the obligations
we have to ourselves and the obligations we have to one another,
no matter who we are, where we come from, or what faith we practice. |

Michael David Fox broadcast a message from the DUCK CLUB DEMOCRATS Club Meeting May 24, 2009 -- Guest Speaker Ameena Mirza Qazi of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Our guest speaker for Sunday, May 24, is Ameena Mirza Qazi, Esq., staff attorney with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Recent revelations that the FBI has been infiltrating mosques to spy on mosque-goers have outraged many in the local Islamic community-- and potentially threaten the religious freedom and freedom of association of people of all faiths. Ms. Qazi will talk about the important topic of government spying on Islamic religious centers (in particular the Islamic Center of Irvine), addressing violations of constitutional rights; the chilling effect on freedom of religion and association; and religious and ethnic profiling. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) is a Muslim civil liberties and advocacy group. CAIR’s vision is to promote justice and mutual understanding. CAIR’s mission is based on 3 core goals – enhancing understanding of Islam, promoting justice and empowering American Muslims. Ms. Qazi is a graduate of UCLA and the Wayne State University Law School. Please join us for this important and timely discussion. Bring your questions, bring your ideas and bring your friends! Date: Sun., May 24, 2009 We're turning Orange County Blue! |
