THANKSGIVING THE HISTORY:
11/26/2009
While Thanksgiving has become an important tradition for families throughout the entire United States, it wasn't always so. Thanksgiving began as a religious holiday, an observance for giving thanks to God for his many blessings to mankind. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln issued a national proclamation for Americans to give thanks on the last Thursday in November. Yet prior to the Civil War, Thanksgiving was considered more of a "Yankee" holiday that northerners celebrated. Others believed a religious holiday should not be set by civil authorities. In 1883, Texas Governor Oran Milo Roberts refused to proclaim Thanksgiving Day during his term of office because he did not want to "blend church and State."
In 1939, Thanksgiving was observed on different dates, depending upon the state, after President Franklin D. Roosevelt decided to move Thanksgiving up a week to extend the Christmas shopping season. According The Capital on November 28, 1985, "A national uproar ensued as 23 governors went along with Roosevelt, 23 stuck by the traditional date, and the governors of Texas and Colorado proclaimed two Thanksgiving Days." Thanksgiving was finally made a national holiday in 1941.

Your freedoms are being threatned and so is your pocket book and your way of life. If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent... its ruin." Samuel Adams, 1776

I've been to his house and library. It is remarkable and unlike any of the other presidents. The overcoat Harry Truman wore hangs in the hallway at the house. If you ever travel the United States, Independence would be a good
place to start....I felt at home there.....Dort
Harry Truman was a different kind of President. He probably made as many, or more important decisions regarding our nation's history as any of the other 42 Presidents preceding him. However, a measure of his greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.
The only asset he had when he died was the house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . His wife had inherited the house from her mother and father and other than their years in the White House, they lived their entire lives there.
When he retired from office in 1952, his income was a U.S. Army pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them, granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of $25,000 per year..
After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home to Missouri by themselves. There was no Secret Service following them.
When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined, stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President, and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and it's not for sale."
Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award him the Medal of Honor on his 87th birthday, he refused to accept it, writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."
As president he paid for all of his own travel expenses and food.
Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale. (sic. Illinois )
Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices in life were either to be a piano player in a whore house or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference!
