Thanksgiving is a time to gather with friends, family and loved ones and to reflect on what we have to be thankful for.
On this day of thanks, I hope you will join me in taking the time to think about what you are thankful for, share some of those thoughts with your friends and family at home and if you get a chance, also share it with your online community.
This is also an important time to remember the men and women of the United States military who protect our country and the freedom of others all around the world, and their families who sacrifice so much. Many of these families will have an empty seat at the Thanksgiving table this year. We pay a special tribute to the military members who are away from their loved ones, and to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
Michael S. Steele, RNC Chairman

Is Sheriff Biden putting any of his time into searching for stimulus jobs? We ask because President Obama promised that the stimulus would help “poor and working” Americans, and instead, as Time Magazine reports, those funds aren’t going to areas that have been the hardest hit by the recession:
Miami's poorer residents have long complained that the city's meager public-transit system makes it harder for them to get to work. So when the Obama Administration announced the $787 billion stimulus plan earlier this year, many hoped some of that money would help fund plans like an expansion of Miami's undersized Metrorail system — especially a 10-mile northern extension that would reach into predominantly African-American and other minority communities largely cut off from downtown and other employment centers. But the project, in part because
