The JOBS Act: An Important Step Towards Economic Recovery

America is a nation of innovation. Our country was founded by political entrepreneurs: brave, honorable people who were willing to risk their lives and their fortunes on the dream of government based on the principles of liberty we hold so dear. It was this foundation of freedom that allowed our nation to become the greatest country in the world and enabled entrepreneurs and workers to build what was the most prosperous economy in human history. The American economy is unique in that it is driven not by government planning, but by the entrepreneurial spirit. It al-lows people, of any class or background, the ability to invest in their own unique skills and ambition. It rewards people who bet on themselves. Only in America could an entrepreneur like Fred Smith create a company dedicated to shipping packages quickly and efficiently all across the world and grow it to what is now known as FedEx. Only in America could Walt Disney go from failed cartoonist to a name synonymous with the magic of entertainment. Only in America could Steve Jobs start the world’s most valu-able company from his garage in California. Unfortunately, an ever-expanding Federal Government has created an environment that makes it far more difficult for America’s great entrepreneurs to be successful, or for the rest of us to enjoy the products and services they create. The more un-necessary and burdensome regulations there are, the less freedom innovators have to launch their companies and create jobs. It was this growing mountain of red tape that helped inspire me to take on Washington, and why I am so proud to have sponsored the JOBS Act. The Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups Act, or JOBS Act, is one of the most important pieces of legislation signed into law during the last two years for job creation. This bipartisan bill modernizes certain SEC regulations and does away with others that make it harder for entrepreneurs to access sources of private funding. Without private funding, it’s impossible for new businesses to get off the ground, expand and hire more workers. Put simply, the JOBS Act makes funding more accessible for start-up companies by allowing more investors to participate in the funding process and by allowing entrepreneurs to use new tools to attract investors. I am proud of the success of the JOBS Act which passed Congress with a bipartisan vote of 380-41 in the House and 73-26 in the Senate. It is the perfect example of both parties coming together to pass meaningful legislation that will directly lead to new jobs and a better economy. One of the most exciting aspects of the JOBS Act is the authority small businesses now have to utilize new technology, like social media, to connect with potential investors. During an oversight recent hearing on September 13th, Rory Eakin, the founder of CircleUp, a com-pany that helps start-up companies raise capital and comply with regulations, shared the stories of a few of his clients whose success was needlessly limited in a pre-JOBS Act world. People like Kim Walls, who created a growing sk-incare company in California, but was prohibited from using her base of 20,000 Facebook followers to attract new investors. Or a father like Zak Nor-mandin, who created a company that sells healthy snacks to children, but was unable to extend in-vestment opportunities to his most passionate cus-tomers interested in investing in business. As Mr. Eakin said at this hearing, “our current system is one that rewards entrenched investors, an insular network of institutions and individuals that favors private investor access more than the creation and growth of new businesses. But with modern tech-nology and this Act, this is going to change.” The American economic recovery depends upon giving entrepreneurs like Ms. Walls, Mr. Nor-mandin, and Mr. Eakin the freedom to build and grow their companies, not government spending on political handouts that gave us the Solyndra debacle. Especially when so many Americans are struggling. The JOBS Act is an important step to-wards our recovery. I look forward to seeing what the next great American innovators create with it.

Alamo Family MedicineFAMILY PRACTICE

Alamo, Tenn. - Influenza, or flu, season is right around the corner, and the Crockett County Health De-partment is ready to offer flu vaccine to area residents. A mass flu vaccine clinic will be held at the Crockett Coun-ty Health Department on October 10, 2012 from 8 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. This clinic is designed to allow people to be able to get in and out quickly. “It takes about two weeks to be protected after you get the flu vaccine, so it’s a good idea to get the vaccine as soon as it’s available,” said Regional Health Officer Sha-vetta Conner, MD. “However, we will continue to vac-cinate residents through the winter, or as long as we have vaccine available. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone 6 months of age and older get their yearly flu vaccine as soon as vaccines

become available in their community.” Flu shots (and/or) FluMist nasal spray vaccine will be provided during the vaccination clinic. There will be a charge of $25 for flu shots and $13.70 for FluMist. The cost for vaccines will be charged on a sliding fee scale based on income. Payment can be made in the form of cash or check and Medicare and TennCare can be billed. Private in-surance will not be billed. Appointments must be scheduled for the mass flu clinic. Please call the Crockett County Health Department at 731-696-2505 to book your October 10th appointment ASAP.

Moments with a MinisterSCARY THINGS

What scares you? It’s almost that time of the year when people look scary and enjoy being scared! This writer ventures to say that everyone is scared of something, someone, some idea, or some place. You may have a friend who is scared of critters such snakes, or spiders, or other animals. Others are scared of places like a cemetery at midnight, a back road near a prison, or even jail itself. Some people may even be scared of people such as clowns, Jason, or Chucky. There are some people who are scared of an idea or an event such as being robbed/burglarized or going to hell. Then, there are other people who delight in being scared, for them, roller coasters, skydiving, scary movies, haunted houses, and such like make them very excited! The scarier the better for these folks! I certainly do not fall into that last category!

There is one event that should not scare us. There is one thing we should not fear and that’s going to Calvary (Matthew 27 & 28). The trip to Calvary, whether during a storm or calmness, should be a trip we make often and without hesitation (I Corinthi-ans 11:24-27). Surely, that day it would have been scary for us to personally behold. We would see grown men acting as villains. Vision them saying slanderous things and doing egregious things to the Messiah. One present would expect to see anything from them hitting our Master with a whip relentlessly, to spitting, to pulling on His beard, to hitting Him on the head after placing the crown of thorns. Had we been there surely we might cry out, “ENOUGH WITH THIS! STOP IT! RIGHT NOW”! It would have been scary to see the Son of God hanging between Heaven and earth as the history of mankind was changing!

What He did altered the course of history, and what He did can alter your history as well. No one can go back and make a brand new start, but anyone can start now and make a brand new finish! Sometimes we emphatically say “you can’t change the past”! However, there are times in our lives when we can. When we obey the Gospel in order to become a Christian, God delves into our past and wipes it clean (2 Thess 1:8; I John 1:8). He casts the sins that so easily beset and separate us from Him into the depths of the sea (Micah 7:19). When we forgive another we are literally traveling back into the past and wiping the “slate” clean – treating them as if the transgression never happened! No, it’s not easy – it’s just worth it. Forgiveness is all about me giving up my right to hurt you for hurting me. God gives up His right to punish us for hurting Him!

Please proceed reading carefully. God has given us some inside information. Actually, I’ll be glad to share it with you, friend. It’s the scariest event in the history of the world for some people, namely, those who know not God and obey not the Gospel (2 Thessalonians 1:8). Some have foolishly tried to speculate when this time will come utilizing a “scare tactic”. However, no one knows when this day is going to take place (Matthew 25:13).

“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power.” II Thessalonians 1:7-9

If you are not a Christian, no haunted house could ever being to compare with the eternal destruction, fire, heat, pain, and screams of those who are disobedient. The Bible describes the activity of those who are cast into “outer cast” as “weeping and gnashing teeth” (Matthew 8:12). One older gentleman asked his preacher, “What if you ain’t got no teeth?” and the preacher re-sponded “I guess teeth will be provided”!

So, today is a day of decisions. In fact, there are two options: I can humbly and obediently go to Calvary submitting my life to His will. Or, I can live the rest of my life in complete fear of the scariest day in the history of the world for those who “know not God and obey not the Gospel”. The Maury City church of Christ meets on Sunday morning at 9:30am, Sunday night at 6:00pm and Wednesday evening at 7:00pm. If I personally can be of help to you, feel free to contact me at [email protected].

Raising Money For 8th Grade Trip

On Friday, September 21, a new audio CD was re-leased by Shiloh National Military Park entitled “Voices of Corinth.” This new CD features the words of participants, both military and civilian, as they describe their experiences of Corinth, Mississippi during the war. The 71 -minute long CD begins with the occupation of Corinth by Confederate troops in early 1862, and takes the listener through the af-termath of the battle of Shiloh, the siege of May 1862, the occupation by Union forces, and ends with the story of the contraband camp as told by a missionary to the area. “We are very proud of the Voices of Corinth CD,” stated Superintendent John Bundy. “The project was pro-duced completely ‘in house,’ with park volunteers and rang-ers not only lending their voices to the recording, but our rangers also conducted all of the research, wrote the script, and then re-corded, edited, and mixed the CD,” said Bundy. Voices of Corinth was recorded and mixed in just one week to make it available for purchase in time for the commem-oration of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Corinth which took place in early October 1862. The CD is meant to supplement any tour or study of Corinth by bringing the voices of the people who experienced the Civil War in the area to life. Voices of Corinth, which was funded in part by East-ern National bookstores, a not-for-profi t partner of the Na-tional Park Service, is available for purchase at the Corinth Civil War Interpretive Center bookstore. For more informa-tion on the CD and the upcoming events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Corinth, please visit www.nps.gov/shil or call 662-287-9273.

WASHINGTON, D.C., Sept. 13, 2012 – The National Federation of Independent Business, the nation’s leading small busi-ness association, today named U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher (TN-8) a Guardian of Small Business for his outstanding voting record on behalf of America’s small-business owners in the 112th Congress. NFIB President and CEO Dan Danner praised Rep. Fincher for “standing for small business.” In presenting the group’s coveted Guardian of Small Business Award, Danner said, “Small-business owners pay close attention to how their lawmakers vote on the issues affecting their businesses and employees and stand by those who stand for them.” “In the 112th Congress, Representative Fincher proved that he is willing to stand up and do big things for small business,” said Danner. “Guardian-award winners are genuine small-business champions, consistently voting to promote and protect the right of small-business owners to own, operate and grow their businesses.” In all, NFIB will present Guardian awards to 245 Representatives who voted favorably on key small business issues at least 70 percent of the time during the 112th Congress. EDITOR’S NOTE: To view “How Congress Voted,” which has the key small business votes and voting percentages for each lawmaker, go to http://www.NFIB.com/hcv ### NFIB is the nation’s leading small business association, with offices in Washington, D.C., and all 50 state capitals.

NFIB’s powerful network of grassroots activists sends their views directly to state and fed-eral lawmakers through our unique member-only ballot, thus playing a critical role in supporting America’s free enterprise system.

Breast cancer is a disease that affects thousands of people each year. According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women will be diagnosed this year (including new cases of primary breast cancer among survivors but not the recurrence of original breast cancer among survivors). There also will be 63,300 new cases of in situ breast cancer (including ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, and lobular carcinoma in situ, or LCIS). It is estimated that there will be 39,510 breast cancer deaths in 2012. Although breast cancer is rare among men, there are still cases that occur each year. It is estimated that there will be 2,190 new cases of breast cancer cases in men, and there could be 410 breast cancer deaths. The pink ribbon has been synonymous with breast cancer for years. Nowadays, people rarely think twice when they see pink ribbons, having grown accustomed to the pink ribbon and what it symbolizes. Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been celebrated each year since 1985, and many other breast cancer awareness initiatives have been devised since then. While the pink ribbon may seem like it’s been in use for just as long, it was actually established only about 20 years ago. Ribbons have long symbolized something important. For decades, yellow ribbons have been used to alert others to soldiers at war or hostages that hadn’t yet come home. People often tie yellow ribbons around trees at home until their service men and women came home safely. During the height of HIV/AIDS activism and awareness, red ribbons were worn to symbolize support for those with the disease. Although the pink ribbon evolved because pink expresses femininity, calm, health, and youth, the first breast cancer ribbon was actually peach. Charlotte Haley is credited with devising the first breast cancer ribbon in 1992. She was a breast cancer survivor and came from a family of women who also fought the disease. She created peach-colored loops at home and then distributed the ribbons at her local grocery stores. Haley encouraged people to wear the ribbons and contact legislators to demand more funding for breast cancer research. An attached note was distributed with the ribbons stating, “The National Cancer Institute annual budget is $1.8 billion, only 5 percent goes for cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon.” The same year Evelyn Lauder, senior corporate vice president for the Estee Lauder company, and Self magazine editor Alexandra Penney teamed up to produce a pink ribbon. It was distributed at makeup counters all across the country. The company collected more than 200,000 pink ribbon petitions asking the U.S. government for increased funding for breast cancer research. Although Lauder and Haley reached people on different levels, their goals were the same: To educate the public on the lack of funds allotted to breast cancer research. Pink ribbons are now seen all over and have become the uniting force for millions of women who are facing breast cancer or supporting someone with the disease. In 1996, Nancy Nick created a blue-and-pink ribbon to symbolize male breast cancer ribbons in honor of her late father. The ribbons remind others that breast cancer can affect men as well as women. Although you can see waves of pink every October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many people don their ribbons year-round. Great strides have been made with respect to breast cancer, but with about 225,000 new cases popping up each year in the United States alone, there is still work to be done.

• Tip 1: Imagine your best self. Visualize a happy future for yourself, in all aspects of your life. You’ll get that much closer to achieving it. • Tip 2: Find ways to ease stress that don’t involve food. Walk outside or retreat to a quiet place in your house. • Tip 3: Skip the salt. If we all cut back by about 400 mg a day, scientists estimate that as many as 28,000 lives would besaved. When dining out, ask that your meal be prepared with no salt or less salt. At home, use seasonings other than salt, such as spices, herbs, garlic and lemon juice.• Tip 4: Avoid reading or watching TV in bed. Using your bed-room only for sleeping makes it easier to drift off to dreamland. • Tip 5: Exercise to extend your life. In a recent study in Ar-chives of Internal Medicine, older adults who got more physical activity were less likely to die over a four year period.
