2008 Christmas-Friendly Shopping Guide
How leading retailers’ messages rate
Last updated: 11/13/08
We welcome your use of these ratings in your shopping decisions. As an additional way to help you communicate with the retailers we evaluated, we are providing the convenience of a petition which you can sign by visiting focuspetitions.com.
Retailers will be presented with petitions — thanking those that embrace "Christmas," and alerting those that have purged or marginalized "Christmas" that you object to the secularization of Christmas. We hope you will "stand for Christmas" with us and encourage the continued acknowledgement of this historic Christian observance in our culture.

Republican Success Stories
If you depend solely on the mainstream media for news and information then you most certainly are not aware that Republicans have started electing a new generation of Republicans to lead our Party.
Because we had strong candidates and you provided us the resources to help get them across the finish line victorious, we can be proud of the gains we made in numerous state and local races across the country.
As a strong supporter of GOPAC, I hope you will assist us in promoting these Republican success stories from the 2008 elections:
Montana
Republicans gained control of the State Senate and will now hold a 27-23 majority.
Tennessee
For the first time since 1869, Republicans now control both the State Senate and House.

Republicans picked up three seats in the State Senate to increase their majority.
Pennsylvania
Voters in the Keystone state re-elected Attorney General Tom Corbett and Republicans increased their lead in the State Senate to 30-20.

For the first time in the state's history, Republicans now control the State Senate. Republicans also made gains in the House by increasing their majority with another 5 seats.
