Save NASA Rally

Republican and Tea Party groups From Houston and Galveston will be holding a rally to save jobs at NASA. The rally will begin at 6:30 PM at the League City Sportsplex.

The rally is being held to protest a Democratic fundraising rally help under the auspices of saving jobs at NASA. The rally is sponsored by the AFL-CIO Union and Speakers will include Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, Congressman Gene Green, and will be hosted by Jim Yarbrough.

Republicans and Tea Party members are upset that the democrats taking advantage of an issue of vital importance to the Houston - Galveston Bay Area. The feeling is that it is the Obama administration that has made sweeping cuts to the space program and are now trying to pin this on the past administration.

Apollo 17 commander, Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, told lawmakers Wednesday the Obama administration's plan to shift near term space flight to private industry could result in a 10 year gap between the end of the shuttle program and the debut of reliable rockets.

NASA faced similar circumstances when Bill Clinton slashed the budget which forced mass layoffs during the 90's. Since NASA isn't a social program, Democrats seem to have little use for this program with the exception of pushing the global warming myth.

Leaders from the GOP and the Tea Party urged people to be respectful and to be aware that many media outlets are likely to be in attendance.
