Posted: Jan. 18, 2012 | 12:35 p.m.
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will return to Las Vegas next week. It will be his second trip in three months to Nevada, a state he is counting on to support his re-election.

Obama will spend next Wednesday evening and part of Thursday in Southern Nevada, White House and Democratic Party officials said.

The stopover is part of a three-day swing where he is expected to expand on themes he will raise in his State of the Union address to Congress and the nation on Tuesday night.

White House press secretary Jay Carney said Obama will visit Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Wednesday, flying then to the Phoenix area and to Las Vegas that evening.

Obama will have events in Las Vegas and Denver next Thursday and spend the night in Detroit before delivering a speech in the Michigan city on Jan 27, Carney said.

A White House official said details will be available closer to the travel dates.

Carney said Obama will discuss "economic growth and job creation" during his televised speech, "and it will be a topic that he discusses on the road both after the State of the Union and beyond."

While in Las Vegas, it's expected Obama will bring up a new policy to boost U.S. tourism, an initiative he is scheduled to unveil today at Disney World in Orlando, Fla.

While Obama's post-State of the Union trip is being planned as official business, Republicans charged its political purpose is thinly veiled.

"When his focus should be on jobs for struggling Americans, it's clear President Obama has abandoned governing and is in complete campaign mode with one thing in mind, saving his own job," said Ryan Mahoney, spokesman for the Republican National Committee.

"Instead of campaign stops in battleground states, Barack Obama should be more focused on getting our economy back on track and putting the millions of unemployed back to work," Mahoney said.

Obama's attentiveness underscores Nevada's status as a swing state in this year's presidential election. The visit next week will be the president's sixth stopover to Las Vegas -- plus once to Reno -- since being elected. First lady Michelle Obama also has been to Las Vegas twice.

Also, Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit Reno today to talk about college affordability at Galena High School.

The visits by Biden and Obama come on opposite ends of the Nevada Democratic Party's presidential caucus on Saturday.

Obama won Nevada by 12.5 percentage points in 2008. But a poll analysis conducted this month by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm, indicated he has lost ground in the Silver State and is tied with Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney heading in 2012.

Nevada Republican Party Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian contended Wednesday that Biden was being dispatched to Reno to "rescue" the Democratic ticket after the GOP has enjoyed a registration lead in Washoe County, a swing area, in recent months.

In a number of battleground states including Nevada, Republicans contend they are narrowing a gap in registered voters or increasing a lead.

According to Nevada voter registration figures released last week, Democrats continue to enjoy an advantage with 447,000 active voters compared with 396,000 for Republicans.

But the Democratic advantage had been much larger. Election officials reviewing Clark County registrations in November and December removed a net 56,800 Democrats from the active rolls. Voters are declared inactive when they don't provide updated addresses after a move.

Obama last was in Southern Nevada on Oct. 24, holding a fundraiser at the Bellagio and visiting a family home in east Las Vegas to coincide with the announcement of an expanded federal program aimed at homeowners hard hit by the mortgage crisis.

Friend --

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is this Monday, and we're commemorating it over the next several days with service opportunities to help build the kind of future that he envisioned.

Some of us will be pitching in at food and clothing drives. Others will help out with neighborhood cleanup, education projects, blood drives, or other events. This movement has always been about more than winning one election. It's about empowering others and strengthening the communities where we live.

There's a chance to get involved in Las Vegas on Monday. Can you join?

What: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event in Las Vegas

Where: Fourth Street
Las Vegas, NV 89101

When: Monday, January 16th
10:00 am

When President Obama dedicated the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in D.C., he reminded us that change never comes quickly or easily -- it requires determination and relentlessness in the face of adversity.

The work we do is about reshaping our communities and our nation for the better.

As we remember Dr. King and honor his legacy, let's get out in our neighborhoods and fight for the causes we share and a country where everyone has a fair shot.

I hope you can join the service event this Monday:

When you become president, one thing that happens overnight is that you and everyone you love get a bunch of new nicknames.

I was already pretty used to this. But "FLOTUS," short for First Lady of the United States, is really something else.

I'm writing because our FLOTUS, Michelle, turns 48 on Tuesday, and I know I'm not her only fan out there.

Will you join me in wishing her a happy birthday?

The decision to become part of this campaign was deeply personal for a lot of people, and Michelle and I are no exception. But we both knew, like anyone else who believes in what we're trying to do here, that this was never going to be easy.

This fall, Michelle and I will have been married 20 years. The next 10 months will be harder than any we've experienced together, and I couldn't do it without her. I know she'd love to hear from you today:

Thanks for your support,

Barack

P.S. -- This weekend, people are getting together to volunteer at service events in their communities in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Find out how you can join in here.

You Can Still Be Merry!
by Jon Walker

�The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.� (Luke 2:20 NIV)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

40 Days in the Word: Learn the Word, Love the Word, LIVE the Word.
The nationwide launch of Pastor Rick�s 40 Days in the Word is coming Jan. 29. It�s not too late for your small group to get involved! Watch a three-minute video testimony of lives already being changed. Download a free sample PDF of 40 Days in the Word.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We celebrate the birth of Jesus, and then we return to the office, to school, to the things we normally do.

Do you remember that Christmas was just a few weeks ago? (Or are you still thinking about when you�ll take down your decorations?)

The shepherds of Bethlehem returned to their fields. God had sent them to find the baby Jesus in a manger. They marveled at God and knew they�d been blessed to see the Messiah�s arrival.

And then they returned to their flocks. They returned with an energized faith, glorifying and praising God. But, still, they returned to their routine.

God takes us to the mountaintop where he shows us great miracles and wonders, but he doesn�t leave us there. It is in the fields and among the flocks that our faith grows, nurtured in the soil of the day-to-day, the mundane. This is where we die to Christ, allowing his life to blossom within us (Galatians 2:20).

You may have returned to your routine, but God wants you to know this:

�The things we truly believe emerge day-to-day. It�s the conflicts over who makes the coffee, who cleans up the mess, who gets to go home early, or who gets the biggest piece of pie that test whether it is Christ who lives in us or if we�re still saying, �No, it is I who live.�
�God wants you to succeed, and he is going to stay with you to help you get it right. As Pastor Rick often says, God is on your side. This means God�s intent is not to catch you doing something wrong; his intent is to reveal where you still need to yield to the Jesus-life growing in you.
�You can still be merry! Don�t we always point out how friendly, cordial, loving, and giving people are during the Christmas season, and then lament the fact that they aren�t like that during the rest of the year? It may be January, but you can still be friendly, cordial, loving, and giving right now. It is a choice!
Merry Christmas and a Happy Return to Routine.

"It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Las Vegas for the 28th Annual Convention of the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America. I hope that, during your time here, you will be able to experience some of the many attractions that our beautiful city has to offer. .....," wrote U. S. Senator John Ensign to Taiwan Benevolent Association of America.*3

The grand opening of the 28th Annual Convention of Taiwan Benevolent Association of America (TBAA) was held by its Chairperson Wendy Yu-ping Wu*4 at the Paris Hotel on July 30, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Concode C Room was full with participants from all around the world.

Congresswoman Shelley Berkley), Councilwoman Lois Tarkanian (for Las Vegas City Mayor and Council), Councilwoman Stephanie S. Smith (for the North Las Vegas City Mayor and Council).

A Welcome Party and Preliminary 28th Board Directors and Advisors Meeting were held on July 29, 2005 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. To pay a special tribute to his great contribution to the 28th Convention and TBAA, Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei was nominated by Chairperson Wendy Wu of TBAA as an Advisor of Taiwan Benevolent Association of America. The nomination was seconded and unanimously voted by all the presented Directors and Advisors. The Declaration of the 28th Conference of TBAA was written by five members. The five members, including Kent Wang, De-yu Lang, Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei, Dr. Wayne J. Horng, and Leo Huang, were all elected by the Board Directors and Advisors. The theme of the Declaration was how to strengthen the unity and harmony of Chinese in America. During the meeting, Miss Sue Phelps was elected as the Vice Chairperson of TBAA.

"It is a pleasure and privilege to welcome the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America and its international convention to Las Vegas and the Paris Hotel. .....Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help make your visit a more pleasant and productive experience. .....," wrote U. S. Congressman James Gibbons to TBAA.*5

The "Fomosa Night" was held at a grand ballroom in Paris Hotel on July 30, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Lt. Governor Lorraine Hunt delivered a welcome speech to the crowded attendents in the Hall. She wishes Navada be the great door opened for the international business and trade between the silver state and Asian countries. A Letter of Greeting was granted by her to TBAA.

President Dr. Tony Tung-tien Lei presented the Certificates of Recognition from Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn and U. S. Congressman Jon Porter and Greeting Letters of U. S. Senator John Ensign and U. S. Congressman James Gibbons to the Chairperson of TBAA Wendy Yu-ping Wu.

"The State of Nevada congratulates you on your extensive assistance to the Taiwan Benevolent Association of America, and commends you for your dedicated service to the citizens of our Silver State," Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn granted a Certificate of Recognition to Wendy Wu dated May 23, 2005.*6

United States Congressman Jon C. Porter granted a Certificate of Recognition to
recognize and honor Wendy Wu, "FOR YOUR DEDICATED SERVICE AND PROFOUND COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE TAIWAN BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA."*7

Melody - Taiwan folk song

The following are pronounced in Mandarin (Chinese)[Notes from the Editor's of this website at http://communitylink.reviewjournal.com/lvrj/wbti]:*2

Gao shan qing,
Jian shui lan.
Ali Shan de guniang mei ru shui ya,
Ali Shan de shaonian zhuang ru shan.
Gao shan chang qing,
Jian shui chang lan.
Guniang he na shaonian yong bu fen na,
Bi shui chang weizhe qing shan zhuan.

Tr. Ed Peaslee 1999

Green is the high mountain
Blue is the mountain stream
The girl of Ali Mountain is pretty as the water
The youth of Ali Mountain is strong as the mountain
Mountain forever green
Water forever blue
The girl and that youth never will be parted -
like the blue water flows around the green mountain*3
