Lets do a quick breakdown of the problems you might be facing on your end and how to fix them.
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
| Tinyurl links rarely work | Firefox 3 has an operating conflict with tinyurl | You can use IE explorer while I try various solutions. |
| The web page has a huge blank space at the top where the body text should begin | Older versions of IE have trouble reading the page. | You can update to a later version of IE while I determine the cause. |
| Numerous broken links in the (almost) daily newsletter. | Some problems are caused by the Firefox3/tinyurl conflict. Others are caused by a feature of my mailing list provider. | I've been unable to resolve the tiny/url conflict, but have disabled the mailing list feature that was contributing. |
OK, so that's the list of resolvable problems. I'm having technical problems of mammoth proportions on my end, as well. Problems that are preventing me from even putting together the material for the daily newsletter and headlines. So really, it's just a big ol' freakin' nightmare here at the POAC HQ. Oh yeah, did I mention I'm trying to run my campaign for State Rep while dealing with all of this? Yeah. Big Ol' Freakin' Nightmare.
So until next time,
Be Well and I apologize for all of the troubles.

As you can see. POAC v2.0 is finally fleshing out. Special thanks to Jason H. for making that possible. Some of you may get a security warning from your browser regarding active-x controls. That's due to the dynamic buttons I have added in the upper left. Your are safe to allow the active-x controls, but if you choose not to, you won't lose any functionality of the site.
The galleries have returned.
We're still hurting for donations and sales. We're going to have to cancel our cable T.V. service in a week. Which is fine. We're too busy to watch T.V. anyway. If you can donate, please do. Or buy some fancy POAC gear from our store. Our freezer is almost empty and the garden isn't going to continue feeding us and the bunnies for much longer. Although those bunnies are looking kind of tasty.
The campaign is going well. Now it's just down to knocking on doors and setting up a few fund raisers/meet-and-greets until the advertising campaigns towards the end of the campaign season. Last week a man was arrested for shooting his shotgun at passing cars. He claims he was being harassed by people ringing his doorbell. His house was one of the houses we had visited earlier that day while campaigning. I wonder if it was me who set him off. Yikes. My wife saw a naked man at one of the houses we visited. Oh yeah, and I think I may have visited the house of my opponent's campaign manager asking for a vote. I don't think I won him over.
That's about all I have for now. Now if you'll excuse me, I have several thousand doors to knock on.
Be well,
T.j.

Today is the last day of the county fair. Things will begin resuming normalcy on Monday.
We are in the process of making the transition to POAC v2.0. Bare with us while the rest of the content is being restored.
You've certainly noticed that the front page headlines have been automated. This was done to free up time for me while I'm hitting the most time intensive part of my campaigning for State Representative. Once parade/county fair season is over, I'll be able to resume my snarky headlines and all the other unique characteristics that make the POAC the best and most underappreciated news aggregator on the internet.
Be well,
T.J. Templeton
