The march was pressed upon Mr. Ballentine heart to help homeowners save their homes. The foreclosure rates are reaching a high alarming rates, which affects homeowners property values.&lt;/strong&gt; Not only will foreclosed homes cause a decrease in property values, but homelessness, squatters, slum, blight, boarded homes, eyesores and crime. On a daily basis many homeowners are faced with foreclosures.&lt;strong&gt;They range from blue collar and professional workers who lost jobs due to no fault of their own. The month of March 2010, if you are a homeowner, Mr. Ballentine is requesting that all homeowners cease making one mortgage pay.&amp;nbsp; We are supposed to be our brothers keepers, so now is the time to prove it.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; The goal is to get the bankers attention who President Obama referred to as the &amp;quot;fat cat bankers&amp;quot; who &amp;quot;still don&#039;t get it&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; On December 14, 2009, the President met with the heads of major banks at the White House to urge them to make more loans and to accept the necessity of greater regulation.&amp;nbsp; I would like to find out who owns the Federal Reserve Banks, so that I may contact them directly and ask for funding to own and operate a small business ?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; As I receive more information about the&amp;nbsp;march on March 6, 2010, I will post it on my facebook page and website. This is not a demonstration, but a march which is a freedom of speech.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Far Left Disappointment: Change! Yes We Can</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I am a devout Democrat even though I did vote for Reagan.&amp;nbsp; The change that most of us worked for was to get&amp;nbsp;the interest of the people to be put ahead of the interests of their institutions.&amp;nbsp; We want something different - we want policies that encourage if not regulate this.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The administration is&amp;nbsp;losing support in the healthcare debate because they just don&#039;t get a very simple fact:&amp;nbsp;American&#039;s with insurance have been held hostage to the profit motives and unfair practices of the insurance and pharmaceutical industries for years - we don&#039;t trust them and&amp;nbsp;we really don&#039;t want&amp;nbsp;a solution that rewards them!&amp;nbsp; I believe we would accept direct providers making a profit but to have what is basically an &amp;quot;adminstrative entity&amp;quot; operating for profit&amp;nbsp;in the middle of the delivery chain is not acceptable.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We don&#039;t want Legislative games!&amp;nbsp; We would have much preferred having every&amp;nbsp;solution put to a yes or no vote before congress than the&amp;nbsp;apathy inducing&amp;nbsp;process we have watched where despite popular&amp;nbsp;support we have scene&amp;nbsp;myriad interests intervene in&amp;nbsp;process&amp;nbsp;to create change in appearance only.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As we look to 2010, I say it is time we throw out&amp;nbsp;all&amp;nbsp;incumbants and put new bodies in those seats.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;What we will get with such massive turnover will be chaos - but that will be much better than this Congress that has become too&amp;nbsp;smart at playing games.&amp;nbsp; Besides, think of the savings to lobbyists because they can start paying off our politicians at a much lower level.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>This Bud&#039;s for You Senator McCain you &quot;Put a Girl In It&quot;-Brooks and Dunn!</title>
            <description>I am still dreaming of a Woman as Commander in Chief! For all those first Lady Hillary Clinton supporters crushed you lifted our spirits by putting a woman in it! Eased the pain and gave us hope again! Women are the biggest minority group and historically we got the right to vote after African American got the right to vote so that is the order of Civil Rights Movement for Women! Who could be in the running for Commander in Chief: Second Hillary Clinton, Sarah Palin, Oprah Winfrey, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, First Lady Michelle Obama, Condelisa Rice, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchings, and Senator Mary Landriou from Louisiana.  Who knows as I never heard of President Obama until he was a candidate but he was being prepared from before his conception! What is in the works to be revealed or are the contestants already in the race to the finish? Put a girl in it! You have style Senator McCain! Thanks for the adreline rush!</description>

            <title>LETTER I SENT TO EVERY DEMOCRAT SENATOR</title>
            <description>&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;DRUG LIMITS LETTER TO SENATORS&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 18px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 22px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;Dear Senator ___________,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; min-height: 17px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;While I do not live in your state I feel my request will benefit all Americans.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; min-height: 17px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;First of all I want to thank you for all you are doing in the fight to get Health Care Reform passed this year. I commend you for being one of the US Senators fighting for health care reform and to bring to reality the late Senator Ted Kennedy&#039;s lifetime work that health care&amp;nbsp; be a right for all Americans and not a privilege for a few.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; min-height: 17px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;I am writing you with the hopes that after you hear my story there may be someone on the Democrat side that will ask for an amendment to the Health Care Bill now being debated on the Senate floor. I feel an amendment to control the increases in drug costs that a pharmaceutical companies are allowed should be part of the bill. If not an amendment than some wording interjected to address the issue of rising drug costs that are obscene and boarder lining on criminal. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; min-height: 17px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;This past August my husband, Art, was diagnosed with cancer. Rather than getting chemo treatments my husband is going through Radiation and takes a cancer fighting drug called Nexavar. The first 2 months my husbands monthly statement listed Nexavar at $3200 for a one month supply. In October the cost went up to $4300 for a month supply and the most recent statement shows it now costs $6722 for a month supply without insurance.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; min-height: 17px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;While my husbands Medicare &amp;amp; Medicaid cover this pill 100%, I worry about the millions of people who this pill may may work for that are not insured, under insured or worse yet, have fallen into the dreaded donut hole. This pill works, in 2 months it totally removed the cancer mass my husband had on his right lung. I would hate to think there is a pill that cures lung cancer yet many will be deprived of taking it due to the cost. While my husband is special to me he is not that special that only he should have quality health care. I want all Americans to have what my husband has, the peace of mind in knowing if they get sick they are covered.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; min-height: 17px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;I hope after reading this, you or someone will ask for an amendment to control the increases a pharmaceutical company can be allowed. If not an amendment, at least an insert to the bill being debated addressing the issue.&amp;nbsp; The increases I have seen over the last 3 months on my husbands monthly statement are obscene and are near close to criminal.&amp;nbsp; I would even be so bold as to call it usury.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; min-height: 17px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;Thank you for your time and I remain .......&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; min-height: 17px; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;Respectfully yours,&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;font: normal normal normal 14px/normal &#039;Lucida Grande&#039;; margin: 0px&quot;&gt;Marilyn Rosberg&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>This past weekend CHANGE was in the air all over the Sunshine State!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;This weekend, volunteers new and old  from across the Sunshine State gathered for Organizing for America&amp;rsquo;s  National Weekend of Training. From the sandy shores of Miami to the  swamp where the Florida Gators play, change was in the air and health  insurance reform was the topic at hand.&lt;object width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot;&gt; &lt;param name=&quot;flashvars&quot; value=&quot;offsite=true&amp;amp;lang=en-us&amp;amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2F45365787%40N02%2Fsets%2F72157622831417831%2Fshow%2F&amp;amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2F45365787%40N02%2Fsets%2F72157622831417831%2F&amp;amp;set_id=72157622831417831&amp;amp;jump_to=&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt; &lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt; &lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/apps/slideshow/show.swf?v=71649&quot; flashvars=&quot;offsite=true&amp;amp;lang=en-us&amp;amp;page_show_url=%2Fphotos%2F45365787%40N02%2Fsets%2F72157622831417831%2Fshow%2F&amp;amp;page_show_back_url=%2Fphotos%2F45365787%40N02%2Fsets%2F72157622831417831%2F&amp;amp;set_id=72157622831417831&amp;amp;jump_to=&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Iran&#039;s Nuclear Issue: A Win Win Solution</title>
            <description>Let&amp;rsquo;s have our cake and eat it too. Iran says it wants part of the Iranian enriched uranium to be exchanged on its soil and others say it should be exchanged outside Iran. There is a win win solution which could satisfy all parties and that is to exchange uranium on Iranian soil but in a newly created 9-party diplomatic zone. That diplomatic zone (9DZ) will consist of representatives from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the 5+1 (US, UK, France, China, Russia + Germany) Countries as well as Japan and Turkey. In order to achieve this solution Iran would ship part of its enriched uranium to that 9-party DZ. Then those responsible for supplying the 20% enriched uranium to be used in Iran&amp;rsquo;s medical research site would ship that 20% uranium to that 9DZ and exchange it with Iran&amp;rsquo;s enriched uranium which is already in that zone. At the same time as the 20% would be leaving that Diplomatic Zone to be imported to Iran, Iran&amp;rsquo;s enriched uranium will leave that DZ and would be sent overseas. So we will have the best of both worlds: 1-Technically that part of the Iranian enriched uranium leaves Iran and enters the 9-party diplomatic zone; 2-Meanwhile it is still on the Iranian soil; the uranium will be exchanged both internationally due to the diplomatic zone and on Iranian soil so all parties will be satisfied.</description>

            <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello :o)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My name is Jennifer and I&#039;m from the Arlington area of Jax. I wanted to let you know that I&#039;m co-hosting an event through the Jacksonville MoveOn.org Council with Jackie Mathis called the &amp;quot;&lt;u&gt;Cost of Delay Candle Light Vigil&lt;/u&gt;&amp;quot; to recognize the thousands of medically related bankruptcies filed by Americans everyday.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;We are meeting this &lt;u&gt;Tuesday, December 8th at 5:30pm to 7:00pm&lt;/u&gt; at the &lt;u&gt;corner of Union and Main Streets&lt;/u&gt; in the open lot between State and Union. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;BYOCC (Bring Your Own Candles and a Can of Food) and feel free to wear any appropriate message shirts. We will provide signs to hold up and a bull horn, but your own posters are welcome :o) Remember to have something to carry your candle in so you don&#039;t get burned. The canned goods will go to the Second Harvest food bank since nobody should have to choose between buying food and taking their medicine.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;If you have a healthcare horror story that you&#039;d like to share please let us know. We want people to talk about their experiences at the Vigil since personal stories have so much power--but everyone will be asked to keep their talk between 3 to 5 minutes for fairness and message crispness.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Please invite your friends and family members to come support real reform with us!!! Feel free to forward this message.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;You can find our local council and RSVP at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.moveon.org/team&quot;&gt;www.MoveOn.org/team&lt;/a&gt; using your zipcode. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Hope to see you there,&lt;br /&gt;Jennifer Milam&lt;br /&gt;904-566-6830&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Veteran recognition by a sitting President in wartime</title>
            <description>I was so touched to receive a thank you from President Obama this past Veterans day. As a women vet, I seldom get&amp;nbsp;a thank you&amp;nbsp;and it is a first from any elected official for me after over thirty years! I didn&#039;t know how much I wanted to hear it!&amp;nbsp; I printed my letter to keep, &amp;nbsp;it meant so much to me. I pray daily for our President and troops and my career was dedicated to them. It is nice to be thanked and thought of when you served at a time you weren&#039;t appreciated. Don&#039;t want to sound whiney cause I was proud to serve my country but the letter brought a tear to&amp;nbsp;the old tired eyes of this old WAC!</description>

            <title>*March for Change we VOTED for and Still Believe In*</title>
            <description>On January 15th, 2010, Americans will gather, peacably, on the DC Mall to show our continued support for the progressive agenda our POTUS campaigned on. We voted for President Obama b/c we hoped for more from our government: more compassion, more diplomacy, more honesty, more protection, and more equality. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facebook page: &amp;nbsp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=206771574224&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=206771574224&lt;/a&gt; &amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;You tube video: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsyU0Rzw2LI&amp;amp;feature=related&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsyU0Rzw2LI&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On January 15th, 2010, we will stand in opposition to the voices of fear, ignorance, and hate that have, thus far, garnered virtually all the attention of the main stream media and skewed the debate over issues that are far to important to ALL Americans. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;We&#039;ve written and phoned our Representatives in the House and Senate. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;We&#039;ve remained a diligent, anonymous, but silent majority. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Now, is the time for America to see our faces and hear our voices again.&amp;nbsp; We want this to be like Denver or inaugeration day.&amp;nbsp; We want to show the&amp;nbsp;GOP,&amp;nbsp;and the pundits that we support our President&amp;nbsp;AND his agenda.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would love to have you there!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>RESPECT THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT</title>
            <description>DOES HAVING THE AUDACITY TO REFORM HEALTH CARE WARRANT DISRESPECT FOR OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?&amp;nbsp;For the first time in the history of our great nation we have a President, who not only has the audacity to reform health care, but has gotten further than any other past President.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While President Barack Obama and his supporters work in ernest to get a bill signed into law before the end of the year, those who oppose health care reform have also progressed with their agenda. Their agenda seems to include disrespect for the office of the President of the United States of America. Everywhere you look these days from the media, to talk show hosts to people in opposing parties, even among our elected officials, there is excessive disrespect for our President. You&#039;ll hear the President referred to as Barak, as Obama, as Mr Obama but not what it should be. President Barack Obama.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am 61 years old, I have been through several Presidents and I do not recall a past President shown such disrespect. President Obama himself refers to past Presidents as President or former President. He shows respect for former Presidents and he deserve the same in return.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a two party country and we all will never agree on everything. We certainly are seeing that as we fight our way to health care reform. There is one thing we all should and must agree on, the office of the President of the United States of America deserves nothing less than respect.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my fellow Americans, I ask you to please remember, it&#039;s President Barack Obama. The President who has the audacity to reform our health care system.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn from Crystal Beach, FL&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <title>MY E MAIL TO SENATOR GEORGE LEMIEUX (R) FL</title>
            <description>Dear Senator LeMieux:&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am in receipt of your recent newsletter concerning Health Care Reform and I am very disturbed that you have chosen to stand united with your party in opposition to Health Care Reform at any and all costs. I realize it takes a lot of courage to cross party lines but it would be the right and moral thing to do.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has been clear from the onset that your party has decided to &amp;quot;kill the bill&amp;quot; no matter who suffers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it may be true you have nothing to loose by opposing HCR because you are a temporary Senator until the 2010 election decides who the next Senator from Florida will be, you have much to gain by supporting it.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In supporting HRC you can leave an lasting mark that you helped millions of Americans.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As one of the 46 million Americans without Health Care and has a pre-existing condition I feel I must make one last attempt and appeal to your human side.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to ask how you can justify the death of 44,000 Americans due to lack of health care or being under insured. That number will only increase unless HCR is passed. I also have to ask how you justify the fact that 46 millions Americans lack Health Care. Another number sure to increase without HCR.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last question is why do you oppose the very Health Care you have as a US Senator for millions of Americans?&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope before you cast your vote tomorrow you keep all that&#039;s at stake in mind and vote &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot; to getting the Senate HC Bill to the floor for debate and that you vote &amp;quot;yes&amp;quot; when it is time to vote of the final bill.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully yours,&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn Rosberg Crystal Beach, FL&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <title>Genocide &amp; Ethnic Cleansing by Saudi Arabia and Yemen</title>
            <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;It is really amazing how indifferent the international media and human rights organizations are to atrocities against helpless human beings done by Saudi Arabia and Yemen in Northern Yemen. These two countries have&amp;nbsp;made close to 200,000 civilians homeless and all of them are forced to migrate. And Saudi Arabian Government with the help of their Yemeni counterparts are killing and injuring thousands more over there. WHY? Due to the sad fact these Houthis are a helpless &amp;amp; poor minority in Northern Yemen.&amp;nbsp; Is there a difference between North Yemeni Genocides and those done by Hitler and Serbs in Europe and racists extremists in Rwanda?&amp;nbsp; Certainly not but perhaps lack of interest by some countries would prevent them from stopping these outrageous atrocities against humanity. Lately Saudis have outdone themselves by dropping phosphorus bombs on civilians. Is there a difference between these cruel acts and those done by 911 terrorists? Certainly NOT! In both cases: 1-atrocities were done against innocent human beings; 2- They were not provoked by those innocent civilians; 3-and mostly Saudis and some Yemenis are involved; 4-these heinous acts were conducted by citizens of countries who call themselves&amp;nbsp;allies of the US, with friends like these who needs enemies! 5-Not even one Shia or Iranian is involved in these types of aggressive and monstrous acts and those people are wrongfully branded enemies of the US?! Really with friendly and harmless foes like these who needs those types of hostile and harmful allies? Really which one is which? I am really confused now!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>A Chance For Peace</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I wonder if anyone wonders how God feels? How painful it must be to watch His children fight each other over territory, beliefs, wealth and other material items. If we are all a part of God or a higher power, some energy source which creates and has the capacity of a love we humans cannot comprehend and I believe we are all a part of something much larger than ourselves, I can only imagine the agony He must feel. War, like cancer, is a disease and it seems we do nothing but feed it. We can build machines to destroy each other but we can&#039;t seem to help the starving and the truly needy. We spend billions of dollars to send people and objects into space but we cannot seem to take care of the human race. Have we lost the ability to truly communicate with one another? Why are our priorities aimed toward destruction instead of taking care of one another? All this energy wasted on such negative objectives, which have very little chance for positive outcome if we don&#039;t do something to save ourselves. Like feeding the hungry, offering free health care and creating a sense of compassion felt throughout the world. Even if the belief system is taken out of the equation, for the atheists and agnostics out there, shouldn&#039;t it still be common sense to take care of our own? Would you let your children or even your animals for that matter live in the horrible conditions some humans are subjected to? I know I wouldn&#039;t. I would do everything in my power to not only help my own family; I feel it would be second nature to help our neighbors as well. It feels as though we are racing towards something and I&#039;m afraid it&#039;s our extinction. As long as we abuse the planet the way we do and let apathy be our guide, we are all one huge train wreck waiting to happen.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Since it is not proper for presidential candidates to blame others , I will say that Hollywood destroyed Vice President candidate Sarah Palin  to exploit women and she was not allowed to be herself!</title>
            <description>I am for women as I want a woman to be president as forty four men does not a democracy make! We are pushing democracy worldwide when Germany, England are so much more democratic in their top leadership roles. Even Afghanastan has a woman in parliment! I still can not get to grips with racial slurs at all women like &quot;You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig!&quot;</description>

            <title>The only way forward is through peace, friendship and brotherhood among all religions</title>
            <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Hi, Ola, Alo, Salaam, Shalom,&lt;/p&gt;99.99% of the 1.2 Billion Moslems throughout the world believe in peaceful coexistence as well as friendship and brotherhood with other religions. Those same 99.99% believe what this evil nonbeliever did in Texas was very wrong, immoral and against all Islamic beliefs.&amp;nbsp; He must be really crazy, if he is not then he should go through a swift court martial and then hanged. Death by lethal injection is too good for this bastard who has murdered his comrades and tried to create a division among God&amp;rsquo;s people and religions. The only way forward is through peace, friendship and brotherhood among all religions in the world. And that is my goal which will bring about prosperity for all.</description>

            <title>LETTER SENT TO EDITORS ON 11/09/2009</title>
            <description>HEALTH CARE REFORM AND HOW OUR LEGISLATORS HAVE VOTED AND WILL VOTE&amp;nbsp;As I sit here, I can&#039;t help but wonder how so many of our US Congress Men and Women can face the people in their districts after voting No this past Saturday for Health Care Reform. I also wonder how they can face themselves by having voted NO for Health Care Reform this past Saturday.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To all to all those who voted yes, I say &amp;quot;Thank You&amp;quot; and I will show my thanks come the next elections. I commend Speaker Pelosi for her leadership and her determination in getting the House bill passed. A special thanks to you, Madam Speaker!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To those who voted no, I have just a few questions. How do you justify the loss of 44,000 lives lost each year due to lack of health care or being under insured? How do you justify that number increasing if we do not get Health Care Reform passed this year? How do you justify 46 million people uninsured and having that number increasing if we do not get health care reform passed this year? My last question to those who voted NO this past Saturday. Will you be willing to give up your Health Care? The health Care you received the very first day of your job, the health care mostly paid by the US taxpayers? Will you be will to go out on your own and try to purchase Health Care without having all the benefits you now get? Somehow, I think I know the answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I find it very sad and shameful that so many of our elected officials feel all Americans are not worthy of Health Care as a basic right. I can only hope and pray for those so against health care reform that they will see the light and vote yes and get Health Care Reform passed for all Americans in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn from Crystal Beach, FL&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <title>Assault on women&#039;s reproductive rights continues with a vengeance</title>
            <description>&lt;br /&gt;The assault on women&#039;s reproductive rights continues with a vengeance.  As Congress struggled to pass health care reform to improve the lives of  America&#039;s families, anti-choice forces took advantage of the situation to mount  yet another assault on abortion. They were willing to sacrifice health care  reform -- even though millions of people would now be able to receive coverage,  even though the bill would finally begin to lower health care costs, even though  lives would be saved -- to enact anti-abortion provisions to take away  reproductive rights from millions of women. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The effect of the  Stupak/Pitts Amendment would be to deny the millions of women who get covered  through the exchanges access to comprehensive reproductive health care that  includes abortion services. These women would be denied coverage available today  in private health plans. The Amendment effectively bans private insurance  companies that participate in insurance exchanges from providing coverage of  abortion. It tries to camouflage the impact by providing an &amp;quot;abortion rider&amp;quot;  that women could choose to pay extra for to cover costs if they have an  abortion. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How gullible do they think we are? Women don&#039;t expect to have  an unintended pregnancy or a dangerous pregnancy that jeopardizes their health.  And few if any insurance plans would actually choose to provide such a rider.  Five states now have provisions to provide abortion riders. But folks have been  trying to find a plan that actually provides one -- and they&#039;re still looking.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make no mistake about it: the Stupak Amendment will deny millions of  women access to safe, affordable reproductive health care. It puts an expensive  price tag on women&#039;s ability to act on their reproductive rights. This  outrageous provision must be stricken from the legislation before health care  reform becomes law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2008 the country elected a pro-choice Congress  and a pro-choice President. The President has repeatedly told the country that  health care reform would not take away benefits from those who currently have  insurance. Now it&#039;s up to the President and the Congress to make certain that  women do not lose their benefits or rights as a result of health care reform.  There&#039;s no point in passing a health care reform bill that makes women less  healthy, less safe and less able to exercise their constitutional rights</description>

            <title>Every Election Has Consequences</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Months ago I commented:&amp;nbsp; OFA needs to start sending the message that what was started with Barack Obama&#039;s election must be continued - his election was not a silver bullet where with one perfect shot he would&amp;nbsp;fix politics.&amp;nbsp; EVERY election is&amp;nbsp;important and has consequences.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also commented that I was very upset with the new tactic by those who want to discourage Barack Obama&#039;s supporters e.g. supporting the fringe and tea-partyers&amp;nbsp;with lies and exageration to activate&amp;nbsp;their base to come out&amp;nbsp;for the midterm elections.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The prediction is for this midterm to be like other midterms e.g. only the disgruntled participate.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hear people are getting discouraged because nine months have passed and President Obama has not brought the change he promised.&amp;nbsp; Remember he said: change is about us not him.&amp;nbsp; Look at how he has been treated by members of both his party and the opposition.&amp;nbsp; Lobbying money is stronger than anything we have except our numbers.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We can&#039;t help him if we do not vote to support him every chance we get.&amp;nbsp; This is how we create&amp;nbsp;change!&amp;nbsp; Without us he has little power to accomplish&amp;nbsp;anything on his own.&amp;nbsp; In Congress both members of our party and the other party must know we support him and will turn out for him when asked.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now I sit at home waiting for tomorrow night when I expect to hear how President Obama&#039;s election was a fluck because the change he brings is not the change WE wanted and this is why his support is falling.&amp;nbsp; Tomorrow&#039;s win by Republican&#039;s mascarading as&amp;nbsp;Conservatives will embolden them to work even harder against him and any change he may attempt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I also hate being misused by the Democratic Party!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;We are bombarded with emails for support and solicitation constantly.&amp;nbsp; We should be treated as an asset that can be exhausted and used when we are really needed which is exactly the same concept we are trying to communicate about our troops and war.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Its too late to ask you to go vote with me tomorrow but I&amp;nbsp;ask you to not let another election go by without going to the polls.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>REMEMBERING ONE YEAR AGO .......</title>
            <description>This final days of the 2008 Presidential Campaign was  a turning point for me. I am a boomer, meaning I was around, very loudly I might add, in the 60&#039;s. I marched for peace, I protested against the Viet Nam War, I marched for racial and women&#039;s equality.  I had to live through the tragic deaths of JFK, RFK and Dr. King. I had the honor of attending the funeral of JFK even though it was an event I wish did not have to happen.  The were masses of people at the funeral of JFK. There were even more at Inauguration of President Obama. It was a celebration.  It took 50 long years for this event to become possible and I was elated to have  it happen in my lifetime. While the 50 years were a long time to wait, there were at last epic results.  I place the importance of President Obama&#039;s  inauguration right up there with my husband and my family.  I am grateful to everyone who joined me in supporting and getting Barack Obama elected as our 44th President of the United States of America.  Thank You President Obama, God Bless You and God Bless the United States of America</description>

            <title>Our Gratitude embraces  President Obama as Americans celebrates this moment when humanity and economics merge in a Health Care Vill that will extend our lives as we crush the grip of diseases perpetuated by greedy pharmacutical and insurance pirateers!</title>
            <description>As we become part of a way of life that will soon be natural and habitual to expect health as a right we will always associate this gift with our loving President Obama and a democratic Congress with a woman Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi,  who like a mother hen fluffed her feather ready to defend all her vulnerable chickens.  America we have arrived at a place where we have disease, cancer and early deaths by the neck and we will prevail with long and healthy lives. I am sadened that republican congresspeople will all lose their credibility as guardians of the people! Long live Americans, healthy and more loving!</description>

            <title>Thank You President Obama for Creating protection for Gays Against &quot;Haters&quot; and  Congratulation on cutting Cots On Unnessary Contracts in the Military to have money for a raise for our Troops!</title>
            <description>Thank you President for taking time to stop gay hate crimes and for giving our troops a raise by cutting contracts we can do without! I am proud of you and I believe that you are taking America to a more people centered place even though the na sayers are a tough obsticle to overcome! President Clinton had it a lot worst as the republicans were the majority in Congress but he shut down every thing twice until he got what was in the interest of the people and our country! So figure out what is in our interest and continute working your magic until your legacy is secured in our interestB Never mind that I will continue to advocate for ny desires as I stand up for the weakest or the ones who are being treated unjustly: women is half of this country so the vald eagle continues  squalking  for us!</description>

            <title>Global protest on 14 Oct 2009 for banning Mind Control abuses and tortures</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, October 14, 2009&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photos of protests: &lt;a href=&quot;http://peacepink.ning.com/photo/albums/rally-or-demonstration&quot;&gt;http://peacepink.ning.com/photo/albums/rally-or-demonstration&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oct. 14 Protest: Reports from the Front&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here are the reports of the IAACEA (International Alliance Against Covert Electronic Abuse) October 14th Global T.I. Protests for Truth and Justice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Starting with IAACEA creator, Debbie Newhook reports on the Victoria, Canada protest. Then on to reports two from San Francisco (Bruno Marchisani, Mesha Monge-Irizarry, and Christine), two from Toronto (by Helen Galina Kurdina and Danielle DiBari) and London (by Paolo Fiori). Paolo did a tremendous amount of work to get the word spread about the protest in the UK. Then move on to T. Josephine&#039;s concise Philadelphia report at the end. I want to give kudos to T.Josepine for braving the cold and rain all alone. The reports finish up with final thoughts by Debbie Newhook. - Nancy aka mistaken.name, A Word the the Wise T.I.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;China&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;By Soleilmavis &lt;br /&gt;We have more than 500 victims daily being tortured and abused by remotely directed energy weapons. But we remain resolute and most of us work diligently to expose this crime on the Internet, and won&#039;t stop reporting this heinous to the Chinese government.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In China, as in the rest of the world, the official police position is that Targeted Individuals are mentally ill, so we cannot get permits to do street protests.&lt;br /&gt;However, we did promote the global protest via the Internet. We got nearly one hundred Targeted Individuals to publish the IAACEA press release on their own websites, along with the list of protest locations, and to send many letters to public.&lt;br /&gt;Here is our online site of supporting signatures:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://everywhere.zh.pledgebank.com/peacepink&quot;&gt;http://everywhere.zh.pledgebank.com/peacepink&lt;/a&gt; (in Chinese)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.change.org/actions/view/ban_mind_controldirected_energy_weapons_abuse_and_torture&quot;&gt;http://www.change.org/actions/view/ban_mind_controldirected_energy_weapons_abuse_and_torture&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=76416668535&quot;&gt;http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=76416668535&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Soleilmavis, PeacePink&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://peacepink.ning.com/&quot;&gt;http://peacepink.ning.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WASHINGTON, USA REPORT&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;By Marc Burnell &lt;br /&gt;Thought the protest went well. Weather wasn&#039;t the greatest. Kind of nervous with all the cops and undercover cops around. Ate alot of the chips and drank sodas I bought by a great donation from Cynthia. There were lots of tourists that stopped by and took pictires of the White House and us. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoyed talking to other TIs about their situation. Learning alot from other TIs about how to cope and different remedies to use to uplift myself.. Many of the TIs were form NY. We spoke to a freelance writer who took notes and took our pictures. We spoke with other human rights groups that were nearby. Handed out fliers.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAN FRANCISCO, USA REPORT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;by Bruno Marchisani&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;SF Photos by Scott at OneWorldLove- you&#039;ll have to join to view&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yesterday, Wednesday, October 14, 2009, from 11:00am to 2:00pm, there was a civil protest against OS/EH at city hall in San Francisco, California, one of several being planned on or about that same day in several cities around the world, including Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Cincinnati (meeting only), Victoria and Toronto in Canada, London, India (internet mailings) and China (internet mailings), as part of a global day of protest being organized by a newly formed TI activism group called the International Alliance Against Covert Electronic Abuse, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.iaacea.org/&quot;&gt;www.iaacea.org&lt;/a&gt;. Debbie Newhook and Galina Kurdina in Canada, Soleilmavis in China and Derrick Robinson of FFCHS were some of the planners.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Christine Harris in SF was the contact person for the San Francisco protest, with Mesha Monge-Irizarry being a resource having had experience in protesting.&lt;br /&gt;Mesha is a non-TI activist Christine recently began networking with who among other things setup and moderated a forum to help organize the global protest.&lt;br /&gt;She has an office in San Francisco and apparently moderates 250 internet forums, one of them being the recently created Targeted_Individual s yahoo group. She is considering holding TI meetings at her office in San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A possibility of rain was forecast but the weather was clear and mostly sunny. I counted 16 protesters being present, including Christine, Richard in Marin, many other TIs who I&#039;ve met before, a few I hadn&#039;t met yet, Mesha, and Marlon Crump,writer for Poor Magazine who Christine has recently began networking with. Most had arrived within the first half hour of the 11:00am protest start time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We originally planned to protest at the park across the street from city hall,to be respectful of city hall workers, but a police officer came by and said we needed a permit to protest in a public park, though he said this first time he&#039;d allow it. He also indicated we could protest directly in front of city hall if we liked, so we moved our protest to the sidewalk in front of city hall.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There was a plethora of protest signs of various sizes, colors and styles: &amp;quot;stop group stakling,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;stop organized stalking,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;stop organized terror,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;stop covert torture,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;stop electronic harassment,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;stop electronic torture,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;stop electromagnetic weapons,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;stop defamation of character now,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;restore human liberties now,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;stop residential directed energy attacks now IAACEA,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;unforgivable! MKULTRA should never happen again,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;my family is victim of mind control program illegally run by the US gov agencies. Torture, mental rape, robbery -- the outcome of the Nazi experiment.&amp;quot; Also I brought buttons with the FFCHS logo for us to wear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The mood was positive if not festive, with us talking amongst ourselves, getting to know each other. Some of us had come from as far away as Modesto and Fresno,and for at least one of us this was our first time meeting with other TIs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Foot traffic was light, even during the lunch hour, with some passers-by looking to see what our signs said. A few spoke with us to try to understand what we were protesting. Due to the relatively light foot traffic and us not being very aggressive at distributing handouts, we didn&#039;t distribute all that many.&lt;br /&gt;Handouts included one of the IAACEA press releases announcing the global protest, a letter from Missouri State Representative Jim Guest acknowledging the existence of OS/EH on many of the constituents in the country, a flyer on the book &amp;quot;A New Breed: Satellite Terrorism in America&amp;quot; by Dr. John Hall, who has treated patients suffering from the effects of OS/EH, a copy of an article entitled &amp;quot;Is the NSA Conducting Electronic Warfare On Americans?&amp;quot; regarding former NSA intelligence officer Russ Tice and the NSA&#039;s purported mind control technology, and a compilation of excerpts from Cheryl Welsh, FFCHS and H.Michael Sweeney.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Vehicular traffic on the other hand was ongoing, and heavier during the lunch hour. Some of us were lined along the edge of the sidewalk displaying our signs -- several drivers honked their horns and gave us the &amp;quot;thumbs up&amp;quot; in support!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At one point a reporter and cameraperson for an independent San Francisco internet video news group came by and did a brief interview with Christine and Mesha -- everybody felt they did a great job! Later on a CBS van parked across the street to cover a different event and Christine went over and gave them some handouts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I spoke with several TIs at the protest. Christine says she is doing what she can to network to help end our harassment, a TI from Fresno says he is educating some of the people in Fresno on OS/EH, and another said God&#039;s message of love is the most important tool in counteracting our harassment. Marlon wanted everyone to know about his new, second, article on OS/EH, entitled &amp;quot;Targeted Individuals.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In my opinion the protest was certainly successful in terms of turnout -- this has been the largest turnout for any TI event in the San Francisco Bay Area I&#039;m aware of and slightly exceed my expectations! Most of us stayed there until the 2:00pm protest end time, shortly after which we disbanded. I and at least a couple of others who were present took pictures of the event and I will be forwarding mine to Felix, a TI who plans to make a video of the global protests.&lt;br /&gt;President Obama was to be visiting San Francisco the following day and Christine along with some of yesterday&#039;s protesters planned to be present to gain more exposure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reports of some of the protests in the other locations have been posted. Debbie declared her protest a success in Victoria, Canada -- there were 5 TIs present -- they handed out about 400 flyers and were interviewed by a local university student -- later on heavy rainfall brought an end to their protest. There were 5 TIs present at Galina protest in Toronto, Canada -- they spoke with several people, some sympathetic, and handed out a few flyers -- after the main protest had ended and they had some coffee they decided to do a second impromptu protest at another location. An early report from London, England, indicated 5 TIs were present but more were expected. The Philadelphia protest apparently only had one protester show up, but none-the-less the protester remained and handed out flyers! The LA protest was postponed to next week due to a heavy storm and flooding. Nancy is posting the recaps of the protests at &lt;a href=&quot;http://wiseti.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;http://wiseti.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; and Mesha is considering doing a compilation on indymedia.org.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For questions about the protest please contact Christine directly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Judy and I went to the Obama protest last night [Oct. 15th] at 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. at Powell Street and Geary Street, with over 1000 people. I brought my huge sign, and Russell Tice FBI fliers, and had many inquiries, and victims stopping to talk with us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With the support of Judy, two reporters from cable channels 13, and 26, which may have been on T.V. last night at 10:00 P.M. stopped to interview me. I was brief, but stated our plight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Three interviews in two days, I like it!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Christine Harris&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:christinelynnharris@hotmail.com&quot;&gt;christinelynnharris@hotmail.com&lt;/a&gt; (415) 235-6466&lt;br /&gt;Bruno Marchesani&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:bruno_marchesani@msn.com&quot;&gt;bruno_marchesani@msn.com&lt;/a&gt; (650) 776-1814&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAN FRANCISCO, USA REPORT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Mesha Monge-Irizarry&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We were a &amp;quot;crowd&amp;quot; of about 20 TIs &amp;amp; Allies with signs brought by Bruno, Richard,a Black Brother who came from Fresno (name?), Christine, the Kats Family, Judy ... Who am I forgetting? Among us, a Black Sister who is a college professor in Political Science in Oakland, accompanied by a Latina and a white woman TIs.&lt;br /&gt;Also was present a San Franciscan woman, former nurse who blew the whistle on her medical unit at PMC, when she saw several patients with electrodes in their brain, and realized from their encephalograms that something terribly wrong was being done to them... she disconnected everything, and the electronic torture started, did not let up for over a decade. At first the cops, then the sheriffs tried the intimidating routine by demanding to see a permit, but when told:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;we are not blocking traffic, we are only exercizing our right to peaceful assembly, this is a peaceful demonstration&amp;quot;, they did not know what else to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then when they approached us again, twice, I gave them a big smile, told them I was a City Commissioner and asked: &amp;quot;Are you going to keep us safe, Officers?&amp;quot; which was sufficient to make them instantly go away after exclaiming &amp;quot;Of course!!&amp;quot; One sheriff, astoundingly, raised a timid fist and quickly told us GO GET &amp;quot;EM&amp;quot; as he walked away with his colleagues (Refreshing! A TI cop ?)&lt;br /&gt;Christine, Richard, the Kats Family, Carole, Judy, John, Yolanda, Carol , Bruno, Marlon, educated onlookers and passed on flyers (forgive this fried brain for omissions... ), and Bruno passed out Buttons. SF Based Tom MCray, TI and political writer, and a homeless person soon joined us. I talked to a colleague,a Veteran for Peace, published poet, who actually wore many political buttons, among them one on Covert Surveillance:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robert W., who is the acclaimed Honorary chief of the Native Nation, although he is white, due to his incredible activism for Natives and Aborigines and tireless fight to ban School of the Americas and ROTC. He happened to just be waiting for a friend on City Hall steps, and enthusiastically interacted with us.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robert stated: &amp;quot;We are ALL targeted !&amp;quot;. I will stay in touch, potential powerful ally for us. I talked about the protest and IAACEA Goals &amp;amp; Objectives as defined in Debbie&#039;s pres release to Sophie Maxwell, City supervisor of my district, and to a campaign team member of James Keys, District 6 Supervisor candidate. Many participants actively engaged passerby&#039;s, including an Asian Gay Youth who now wants to be an ally to our movement. No negative interaction whatsoever! (To the sorry exception of a perplike loser... older white dude in a SUV who sped by, hollering: &amp;quot;Go get a job!&amp;quot; Which made us laugh.... Comic relief of the day) One press interview with Christine who handed out a press package and with myself.&lt;br /&gt;Christine connected with the City Hall Court TV Media Liaison, and participants took many pictures and videos of our event.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;...Marlon C. from Poor Magazine PPN came to interview participants, stayed with us during the entire event, and will work on his third article on &amp;quot;Targeted Individuals&amp;quot; that he will submit to his editor, the formidable &amp;quot;Tiny&amp;quot; Gray Garcia ! Christine and I will work on an article , recount that we will self publish on Indybay along with a compilation of pictures, under Health isues (Covert Violence IS a Public Health issue !)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People came to join us from : Modesto, Fresno, Marin County, Oakland, Berkeley, local San Franciscans too !&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mesha Monge-Irizarry, Founder&lt;br /&gt;SFTEC&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Philladelphia Report&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;by T. Josephine&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes, I did give out flyers alone. Yes, some people wanted them. Plenty more were dying to get home. I am glad for the ones who were interested and next time we should have a group petition and get people to sign it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;TORONTO CANADA Report&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Galina Kurdina&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We protested in front of the Legislative Assembly Building and near Medical Science Building of University of Toronto today. We started at 10.30 A.M. There were 5 people in front of the Legislative Assembly: Robin Yan, Regan Hallett, Carlo Calandra, Mark Holden and I, Galina Kurdina. People approached us and we distributed about 10 fliers. One woman came to us and started a scandal. She offered us to hire people, pay them and ask to hold our posters on streets of Toronto. She suggested us not to appear ourselves on the streets. She persuaded us that we had to put some soft information on our posters, not the truth that we experienced and described. When asked, what soft things she would advice to write on our posters, she did not answer. She asked Robin, what was the reason of his targeting. It was clear for all of us that she worked for police, or RCMP or Government. Robin took his camera and wanted to take pictures of her, and she immedieately disappeared...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We left Legislative Building about 1.30 P.M. Robin, Regan and I went to Tim Horton and had some coffee. After that we decided to go to any street and came to Medical Science Building of University of Toronto. Regan left us 30 minutes [later], Robin and I stayed there for one hour.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We distributed our fliers very quickly, people approached us, read our poster about mind control and took fliers. One student of UofT, sweet boy, said to us that, in his opinion, these experiments were disgusting, another person wished us to continue our struggle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We made pictures and video records. I will send them to all of you, as soon as get them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Toronto Report&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Danielle DiBari, as provided by Robin Yan&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of you do not know me, but Galina and Robin do (who ran the protest yesterday at Queen&#039;s Park do) and I will save introductions for later for those who are dedicated to working to expose the truth about our cause.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would like to send you all a little run-down of events yesterday -- I think Galina and Robin will agree, it was an excellent day with superb weather (my nose is totally toasted..LOL~ ) and we were treated with dignity and respect, a generous amount of interest (so much so that we RAN OUT OF letters), and a FEW VERY INTERESTING CONTACTS!All times are approximate. 10:00 AM We were greeted by Security and shown where we could set up. We were asked if we would be &amp;quot;chanting&amp;quot; and we said no. We were asked not to interfere with people on site and that we should let them come to us, we agreed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We set up across from a woman on a month-long protest of her autistic son being cut off from therapy and put in a regular school. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tooautistic/&quot;&gt;www.tooautistic&lt;/a&gt;. com (HEY! OUR PIC IS THERE!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;11:30 am, A HUGE tour of Italian and Spanish speaking tourists get stuck outside the legislative building for some reason, and (possibly to kill some time) the tour guide relays and translates in both ITALIAN and SPANISH, the story of Covert Mind control as dictated by Galina. The group is sympathetic and interested (until they get to go in..lol)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nothing too interesting happens after that for a couple of hours, we get a&lt;br /&gt;number of people stopping and asking about our situation -- some stopping for longer than others ... needless to say, we only have ONE letter left when we spot the CBC vehicle in the parking lot!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1:00 pm Media Trucks start arriving -- our hearts are in our throats as we feel as if they may intend to interview us! Acutally, the set up is for speaker Dan McTeague to present his speech on the treatment of Omar Kadhr at Guantanamo Bay!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2:30 Dan McTeague shows up to do his interview. About half an hour of talking on Dan&#039;s part -- the issue with Quantanamo Bay is loosely connected to OUR issue ... the underlying facts being that PEOPLE ARE BEING TORTURED WITHOUT MERCY/JUSTICE/ ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here is a link to the situation he spoke of(but nothing on,oh well) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090125/khadr_panel_090125/20090125/&quot;&gt;http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20090125/khadr_panel_090125/20090125/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, he only appeared on the news for about 10 seconds! (Robin, did you VHS it?)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Legislature Watchdogs (while polite) stood guard IN FRONT OF AND AROUND THE CAMERAS so that WE WOULD NOT BE IN ANY SHOTS!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, Mr. McTeague&#039;s assistant came over to talk to us, took our picture and,I believe, strategically placed a camera to include US in the shot!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once the shoot was over, Mr. McTeague came over and shook all our hands, talked with us for a bit, gave us his card and told us &amp;quot;You sure got THEIR attention&amp;quot;(possibly meaning the media - I mean, is it coincidence that a talk on a HUMAN RIGHTS TORTURE ISSUES by a prominent M.P. is scheduled on the SAME DAY as our protest? I think NOT!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Anyhow, he said we should contact him if we need anything...we already got a very good thing from him, we got a confidence boost like you wouldn&#039;t believe!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And so, our first protest day came to a close. Sunburned, but happy, we took a walk to the subway, and went on our way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would say it was a VERY successful day, no one was disrespectful to us, we got a good deal of attention, learned a lot about what to do better NEXT TIME -- and ALMOST got on TV ... lol!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most of all we learned that FEAR is THEIR greatest weapon ... none of what we feared came about.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The perps will keep on doing what they do no matter what we do...being afraid only helps their cause so...we may as well make some noise &#039;cause they ain&#039;t going away by themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cheers and talk to you all soon.&lt;br /&gt;Danielle DiBari&lt;br /&gt;TI - Toronto &amp;amp;Vancouver&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;VICTORIA, CANADA REPORT&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Debbie Newhook, founder, IAACEA&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel our Victoria protest was a success. We had 5 people present at the&lt;br /&gt;protest: Keith Tickleback from Nelson BC, Consuelo Galomar from Vernon BC, David Smith from Grabriola, Heather Quinn from Victoria BC and me Debbie Newhook. We had one protester from Nanaimo, Doug (Jerry) Rose who could not make the protest as he reported he was feeling horrible the night before the protest and he did not think he would be able to make it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As soon as we arrived at the protest location we were greeted by a University of Victoria student who wanted an interview with us. David and I spent 30 mins with her speaking about this crime. We gave her hand out material which included FFCHS material along with a Jim Guest letter of support. In addition we suggest that she research James Walbert and directed her to an article in Wired Magazine about James Walbert. She was genuinely interested and shocked at many of the details about this crime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the time David and I were being interviewed, the police arrived. Consuelo spoke to the friendly police officer and was told that the police got 2 telephone calls indicating that we were obstructing the sidewalk traffic. Upon his arrival he saw that we were only a small group and that we were not blocking the sidewalk traffic and asked that we continue to allow the flow of pedestrians and not to interfere with them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Keith was our camera person and did take still pics only of the event and did capture a picture of the police as he was talking to Consuelo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Later I was approached by woman who knew she was a target of this crime. She knew much about the goings on of the world and she expressed that she was a whistle blower. David and I could tell that she was genuine and she was fearful.I gave her my contact info.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We had many other people briefly speak to us about this crime and did take hand out material.The area of the protest was a very busy location in Victoria and we all thought it was a success.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After about 2.5 hours we had given away about 400 fliers and we were almost out of hand out material when the skies opened up and it began to rain very hard. We called it quits at that time and went back to Heathers house for a chat and a meal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In my opinion, I thought this was good activism day. David and I later talked about doing this in Nanaimo at a later date and discussed the date of Dec 10 as it was the UN day of Human Rights. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/&quot;&gt;http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Debbie Newhook&lt;br /&gt;International Alliance Against Covert Electronic Abuse&lt;br /&gt;&#039;We live to achieve justice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;London Report&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;by Paolo Firori&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For all of you on the other side of the Atlantic who would like to know what happened at the Trafalgar Square protest. I received a voicemail from Winston at about 2pm London time, saying that at that point there were 5 people present at the protest, but that they were expecting a few more to attend later. I believe that besides Winston, John Allman and Amanda Palmer were there, as Winston used Amanda&#039;s mobile to ring me and John told me of his intention to attend the night before. If people [took] any picture of the event and feel able to share them, I really look forward to seeing them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;[Here&#039;s] a short message [Winston] sent me...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;There were 8 of us in the end - we handed out flyers in Trafalgar square and outside the Old Bailey. It was good to meet other T.I.s. We are going to try to set up regular meetings of T.I.s in London.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I may try to do something similar in London on the 24th at two very important events happening on the same day, the annual Anarchist Bookfair and a national Anti-War demo starting in Hyde Park, it will be actually very easy to leaflet there because there are already hundred of different people, leafleting on behalf of hundred different causes, I mean I will probably end up going there by myself, but I would certainly not mind if other London TIs were to decide to join me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Paolo Fiori&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://altnews.viviti.com/&quot;&gt;http://altnews.viviti.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>President Obama Speech To New Orleans</title>
            <description>&lt;em&gt;President Obama&#039;s speech to New Orleans&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gloria Keith comments:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;President Obama&#039;s speech to New Orleans is a message about &amp;quot;Our (America&#039;s) Duty to the Unfortunate&amp;quot;. It is Our (America&#039;s) responsibility to pity the blind, the lame, the afflicted, the widows, the orphans, and all the needy. And, President Obama is going about America, New Orleans, La., and other cities and states, to right the wrong in America that has been established, here, far too long. President Obama&#039;s greatest battle is his fight against an established leadership format&amp;nbsp;of evildoers, in America.&lt;br /&gt;President Obama has set out to change the America that has, far too long, blindly supported leadership in America with frozen sympathies. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Leadership who were partakers of the riches of God&#039;s grace, yet, who withdrew their interests and their sympathies from their fellow Americans, in New Orleans, Louisiana, and other places in America, like New Orleans, 4-5 years ago? President Obama seeks the necessary changes to America, where leadership in the White House and in the USA Congress who will no longer indulge in pride of rank or caste and despise the unfortunate and poor, like those leaders who turned America&#039;s back&amp;nbsp; against the southern cities and states affected by Katrina and other places where human beings experienced the same or worse crises in the recent past.&lt;br /&gt;There are many in America with frozen sympathies. But, there are many more America whose sympathies are now crucially melted and stand with President Obama to rid America of poverty and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Other afflictions destroying our great America---United States of America&lt;/em&gt;</description>

            <title>Rachel Maddow Deals with &quot;Frozen Sympathies&quot;</title>
            <description>&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 15pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoTitle&quot;&gt;Rachel Maddow is dealing directly with that part of America who is partakers of the riches of the grace of God, yet has frozen sympathies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Rachel Maddow is dealing directly with that part of America who is partakers of the riches of the grace of God, yet has frozen sympathies. Tim Phillips and others who claim Christianity, yet, who have withdrawn their interests and their sympathies from their fellow human beings. How can these Christians indulge in pride of rank or caste and despise the unfortunate and the poor, while using Christ as their covering. Yet, it is too true that the pride of rank and oppression of the poor which prevail, in America, exists also among professed leadership and followers of Christ. With many professed Christians, in America, the sympathies that ought to be exercised in full measure toward humanity seem frozen up. The rich grind the face of the poor and use the means thus gained to indulge their pride and love of display even in the house of God. It is God who has revealed love to the poor and lowly through our present elected and confirmed American leader, President Obama. Without President Obama declaration for change in America throughout his presidential campaign, America would be a sad place for the poor humankind---President Obama&#039;s vision for new and changed leadership in America, makes condition of the unfortunate man, woman, boy and girl, America&#039;s own. For when one person struggles with honest endeavor to sustain himself and his family, and yet is unable to do this, so that they suffer for necessary food and clothing, God will not pronounce our Christian leadership guiltless if they look on with indifference or prescribe conditions for the Christian who is virtually impossible of fulfillment...for Christians are to make the condition of the unfortunate American our own, not feed fear into the mouths of the poor and hungry as Tim Phillips and his organization does to the grassroots...in America.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>We Thank  President Obama for Changing His  Agenda by Moving Up The Plight of Undocumented American Indians who Speak Spanishh: He will Start Discussion In Congress In 2009 a Bill can be Passed Prior to The Congressional Elections in 2010</title>
            <description>When duscussing with my students what President Obama should have as his priorities for the first one hundred days, I learned that historically we use undocumented labor for temporary jobs and conditions that Americans do not want.After the work or season is over when deport them. For example, after Katrina devestated New Orleans, undocumented labor rebuilt the city keeping home prices down and allowing us to afford homes. *mericans want steady jobs with minimum wage so they can keep their families in a rental home as construction workers usually can not have homes as it is often not a dependable paycheck. When undocumented workers wait at Lowes or Home Depot for jobs they work for less than minimum wage and are often not paid. They live together and can not affort an automobile to go to work as they do not get work steadily. These conditions are not tolerated by Americans but without taking jobs from Americans, undocumented workers provide cheap sporatic labor so we can afford homes and rebuild the coastal homes devastated by frequent storms. They said that politicans put carrot sticks to spanish speaking relatives of undocumented workers promising them relief from the working conditions we benefit from but take for granted because they broke a law. They problem is that is justice was done everyone who purchased homes built by undocumented workers who were mot paid minimum wage is an accomplice to two crimes which are hiring or an accomplise to contractors who hired undocumented workers and paying below minimum wage. Undocumented workers can place labor liens on almost all homes as we build homes cheaply using undocumented labor. So their crime is no more than our crime as it is a recripocal relationship and must be considered equally when Congress meets to determine the fate of undocumented workers. Our economy depend on cheap undocumented labor to help middle class people afford homes. Undocumented workers and Americans who hire them or benefit from their labor directly or indirectly are accomplices who are equally guilty for these recriprocal crimes. We can not look away and lie when we assert we are against undocumented workers because we continue to eat the food they harvest and buy and sell the homes they built. This atrocity is compounded by the historical significance of our abuse and holocost of American Indians for our benifit as if they were inferior and less deserving than &quot;gringos&quot;commiting these murders historically or current human rights violations. of American Indians,by pushing them from their ancestrial lands bydecendents of the colonial illegal immigrants who had guns and believed in their British, German,French and African American rights to occupy this country and anialiate our natives or drive them out of their land or confine them to reservations like cattle. President Obama, will you undo thes human rights injustices and restore our citizenship papers and rights as we must stop injust in every form.</description>

            <title>LETTER SENT OUT TO EDITORS ON 10/12/2009</title>
            <description>An Open Letter To All US Senators and Congressmen.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am submitting this letter in the hopes that after you read the information I am putting out there, those of in opposition will make a decision to support Health Care Reform with a robust &amp;amp; strong public option. Based on what I read in this article, what every member of Congress has is a public option, a government plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All I&#039;m asking is for the same quality health care you all have and if you still can&#039;t commit to a public option then I will ask that you give up your Health Insurance. If you feel it&#039;s not in my best interest to have a public option then it should not be in your best interest. I see no reason that should you continue to have a health care plan that you so strongly disapprove of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Below is information I found concerning Federal Employees Health Insurance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federal Employees Health Benefits ProgramAs soon as members of Congress are sworn in, they may participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The program offers an assortment of health plans from which to choose, including fee-for-service, point-of-service, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). In addition, Congress members can also insure their spouses and their dependents.Not only does Congress get to choose from a wide range of plans, but there&#039;s no waiting period. Unlike many Americans who must struggle against precondition clauses or are even denied coverage because of those preconditions, Senators and Representatives are covered no matter what - effective immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here&#039;s the best part. The government pays up to 75 percent of the premium. That government, of course, is funded by taxpayers, the same taxpayers who often cannot afford health care themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can go to this link to read the entire artice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://public-healthcare-issues.suite101.com/article.cfm/health_care_for_the_us_congress&quot;&gt;Link&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully yours,Marilyn J Rosberg&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Crystal Beach, FL&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>A Certain International News Network based in US and with Large AD revenues from a Certain Arab country is returning the favor to that Arab country by Spreading anti Iranian propaganda</title>
            <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;US national interests go far beyond some network news propaganda games. If the US wanted to promote ties based on human rights, then it would NOT have a single Arab 30% ally in the Persian Gulf region... AND since a country can NOT play by double standards, then the US can not hold Iran to highest standards of human rights and ignore unlimited human rights atrocities and lack of democracy in some other Persian Gulf countries, also known as (A.K.A.) 30% allies. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;On the other hand I would strongly recommend that a Certain International News Network would separate its News Division from the Propaganda and Advertising Division. Such a well known international news network should not let an advertiser dictate news policy! Because once a news network sells it sole which is independence and objective journalism, then it is no longer called a news network but a&amp;hellip; who sells to the highest bidder.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <title>Congratulations President Obama on a Well Deserved NOBEL PRIZE</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Those Americans who think otherwise are either misinformed, or narrow minded and/or politically motivated. The Nobel Prize is for what a person stands for as well as what one has achieved. During the short period in office President Obama has achieved more dialogue and understanding: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1- The European Union; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2- Russia; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3- Iran as well as the many other Moslem nations; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4- Many African Nations &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5- Etc. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Due to some of the above efforts, President Obama and his administration as well as the European Union and Russia were able to seal a peace deal between Armenia and Turkey after more than 90 years of&amp;nbsp;hostilities and frozen relations. If that isn&amp;rsquo;t enough for a Nobel Prize, then what is? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>HEALTH CARE REFORM CAN NOT WAIT!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;HEALTH CARE REFORM CAN NOT WAIT!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There has been a debate going on in Congress over Health Care Reform for the last 50 years.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those on the left say 50 years is too long and the time for discussion is over and now it is time to act. To all the elected officials fighting for Health Care for all Americans, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I will show my thanks come 2010. Do I agree? You bet your life I do! And if we do not get Health Care Reform with a strong Public Option it could very well be your life or my life and thousands of lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those on the right, and some in the center, say we can&#039;t rush something as important as Health Care Reform. Do I agree? No! We can&#039;t afford not to get Health Care Reform passed this year. It&#039;s not a matter of rushing into getting a bill on President Obama&#039;s desk by the end of the year. To me, 50 years of discussion is not rushing into anything. By most people&#039;s opinion, that&#039;s long enough. So to any elected official who feels they can not be rushed when it comes to Health Care Reform, I say to you ...... find yourself another job or I will help towards that other job come the elections of 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn from CRYSTAL BEACH, FL&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>New Ojamas Ready for Preordering</title>
            <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Our &lt;strong&gt;all new&lt;/strong&gt; Ojamas for 2009-2010 are ready for pre-ordering!&amp;nbsp; If you tried our original Ojamas, you&#039;ll be thrilled with the softer, luxurious cotton flannel fabric and improved sizing and fit for ladies in our new design. Throughout the year, we surveyed our customers and the two areas which stood out most were fabric and fit.&amp;nbsp; You told us you wanted softer cotton flannel and that you wanted a better fitting garment for ladies, and that&#039;s exactly what we&#039;re delivering this year.&amp;nbsp; An overwhelming majority of customers who liked the orginal design with the campaign logo said they wanted to see something more fun with our new President&#039;s face, and we&#039;ve captured that in our new design as well.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;  As we did last year we&#039;ll be producing limited quantities, and demand is expected to exceed supply. We&#039;re starting with an introductory pre-order price of $24.99.&amp;nbsp; Once our production cycle nears completion, this price is subject to increase, so we hope you&#039;ll take advantage now.&amp;nbsp; During the pre-order period, your credit card will not be charged until we have received our production run and begin shipping orders.&amp;nbsp; If at any time you&#039;d like to cancel your order, you may do so without penalty - no questions asked.&amp;nbsp; Pre-ordering is a no-risk way that ensures you&#039;ll be among the first to get your all new Ojamas in time for the holidays. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ojamas.su&quot; title=&quot;Ojamas Sleepwear&quot;&gt;Pre-order your Ojamas today!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>As promised the language of friendship and dialogue has worked and will always work with Iranians</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;But the language of threats and sanctions will never work as was the cased during the past 30 years. Let&amp;rsquo;s do a review of events during the past three decades. Western and some Eastern powers supported the Sadam invasion of Iran, and as a result Iranians became more anti Western. They supported armed Terrorist groups such as MKO and Jundollah against the Iranian people and then Iranians grew more distant towards the West. Though sanctions were imposed against the Iranian people and as a result they became more economically independent. They tried to do a regime change in Iran and they did succeed&amp;hellip; So the new US administration changed its approach towards Iran and they succeeded. So those Republican Extremists Conservatives who would want all of past mistakes to be repeated this&amp;nbsp;US Administration: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1- Either do NOT know Iranians; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2- or never learn any thing from history; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3- or do NOT have the best strategic interests of the US in mind; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4- or just want to play dirty politics at any costs and make sure this administration does not succeed so they would have a chance in 2010 and 2012; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5- or since they have always failed in their dealings with Iran, they do NOT know any other way and they certainly DO NOT KNOW how to succeed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, this wise, calculating and visionary US President and his Administration know how to deal with others and they surely know how to succeed. GOD Bless you all &amp;amp; THANK YOU President Obama!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>If Not the 2016, then 2020 Olympics in Chicago will be a GO</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Some Republicans who know nothing but failures would like the US President to fail as well on every issue, even if it would mean a lack of success for the US as a whole. Their latest failure wish was for him NOT to go to Copenhagen to attempt a bid for 2016 Olympics in Chicago. The President went and Chicago did NOT win, but the US policy as a whole did win, why? Due to following reasons which are beyond some Republicans comprehension: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1- Although it was crucial for US, President Obama, the First Lady and all Americans to have Chicago host the 2016 Olympics, yet the US President did not use any bullying tactics with the Olympics Committee and the US Government did not throw its weight around during decision time. This Administration abided by FAIR PLAY rules of game and did not try to influence the come. An A for honesty. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2- President Obama was the first to congratulate the people of Brazil for such a first time accomplishment in South America. He mentioned that he was happy such and event was conducted in AMERICAS thus sharing common interests and participating in Brazilian people&amp;rsquo;s joy for this unprecedented event. At the same time he sincerely showed that the US really cares for others as well. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3- By doing so with such an important South American country the instrument of anti US propaganda is taken away from some people. Henceforth the US strategic interests are further secured in that very important part of the world. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;4- The US has now a better chance of securing 2020 Olympics and could really count on the help of its 2016 host as well as many other Latin American countries. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;5- By not securing the 2016 bid, this country could save about 10 Billion US$ in expenses for such an event. Such savings could be helpful during present economic times. Of course there could be Tourism income resulting from such an important event but as was the case in Australia, Athens and Montr&amp;eacute;al, where such incomes never materialized and expenses remained, one can never be too sure of the revenue! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, international policy wise the US President &amp;amp; other Americans are winners again. So for the 2020 Olympics bid, the US President with his 2020 Policy vision will surely be the front runner.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Iran could be a very helpful NATO member at this point in time or â€¦</title>
            <description>&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Let&amp;rsquo;s see the glass 80% full and NOT 20% empty. Are all US allies 80% reliable or even 70%?&amp;nbsp; Past 911 facts have proven that some so-called US Persian Gulf Allies are NOT even 30% allies.&amp;nbsp; So having an 80% ally is very important in US war efforts against terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. One can not have a 100% ally because each country has its own strategic interests and a 100% ally is called a puppet or a colony and not an ally. So having an 80% ally is very good. If the West does not threaten Iran and deal with that country on the basis of mutual respect, then one could really count on its help in the region. In the past 200 years Iran has not attacked another country and it does not intend to do so now or in the future. Yet it has defended its territorial integrity very well against foreign aggressions such as Sadam&amp;rsquo;s without yielding a square foot of its land and will do so again. So the choice is clear, either we continue accusing Iran of all sorts of exaggerated issues and use that country as an excuse to sell arms to a few 30% so called allies in the region and continue our half way efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq. Or we could count on Iran as a reliable and strong POTENTIAL NATO PARTNER or as a part of another Treaty Organization such as CENTO. In the case of such a strong partnership with Iran and when that country remains strong, then those 30% regional allies would be also be willing to buy more arms. There are many other treaty choices for Iran as well, such as becoming a full member of Shanghai Treaty or Starting another Asian Alliance called Asia Treaty Organization (ATO) compromised of China, India, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and some Central Asian Republics, etc. &amp;nbsp;However, Iran being part of NATO or CENTO would benefit the West a lot and especially at this point in time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;specially at this point in time. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>God helped victims who had been suffering from terrible remote mind control abuses and tortures</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God helped victims who had been suffering from terrible remote mind control abuses and tortures&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I became a victim of remote mind control abuses and tortures since Dec 2001 when I was studying Master Degree in Australia.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Suddenly heard &amp;quot;voices&amp;quot; harass me even at midnights, and pain all over the body. It really scared me. I was totally confused and frightened. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Jan 2002, I stared crying for God.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If one of your Fingers was hurt, you would pay all your attention to the hurt&amp;nbsp;Finger. I was the hurt Finger of the God.&amp;nbsp; God heard my crying, God came to me. When I was crying, God shed tears for me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pain in my body, Pain in God&#039;s heart. After seeing my terrible suffering for some days, God came to me and stay. God decided to experience the suffering what I was experiencing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While I was suffering from the terrible abuses and tortures on the Earth.&amp;nbsp; God had won the War in the Heavens.&amp;nbsp; (Revelation 12-8)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Because of the sins of Satan, Satan was hurled to the Earth. And&amp;nbsp;his angels with him.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God taught me how to do.&amp;nbsp; I asked torturers to drop down their weapons since the first time they started torturing me. I told them that God was patient and forgiving, If they could drop down their weapons, they would go to the Heaven. But they were so waywardness and complacency, they did not listen to me. They kept torturing me everyday.....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God told me that I was chosen by the God. God knew the terrible tortures on the Earth. and sent me to the earth for solving the problem.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On 7 Aug 2002, I prayed hard to the God. &amp;quot;Please tell me what I should do, please teach me how to do.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Please help me to open the Bible.&amp;quot; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I closed my eyes and opened the Bible. It was God to help me open the Bible. &lt;br /&gt;The page of the opened Bible was &amp;lt;PROVERBS&amp;gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God told me &amp;lt;PROVERBS&amp;gt; was the mission of God in the beginning of this new 1000 years.&amp;nbsp;God told me that &amp;lt;PROVERBS&amp;gt; also would teach me how to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;God teached me: &amp;quot;Do what you can do, and God will do others&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What I could do -- call to Public, let everyone know mind control abuses and tortures; Urge government to investigate such tortures and sentence torturers according to law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jesus was real, the Love i could feel. When i felt like that I could not go on, the Lord was right here. God suffered with me together. The terrible torture and the ignorance of the whole world has also hurt God. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Jun 2009, I did not want God continue suffering with me together. God went back to the Heaven to recuperate from the hurt. God&#039;s angels were with God. They had been suffering too when seeming my suffering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because of the sins of Human Beings. God let Satan stay on the earth for a while.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I would continue working hard to call on Public to bring awareness of covert mind control abuses and tortures. and urge government to investigate such tortures and sentence torturers according to law. God had told me that &amp;quot;Proverbs&amp;quot; would teach me how to do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proverbs&lt;br /&gt;Warning Against Enticement&lt;br /&gt;1-8 Listen, my son, to your father&#039;s instruction and do not forsake your mother&#039;s teaching.&lt;br /&gt;1-9 They will be a garland to grace your head and a chain to adorn your neck.&lt;br /&gt;1-10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.&lt;br /&gt;1-11 If they say, &amp;quot;Come along with us; let&#039;s lie in wait for someone&#039;s blood, let&#039;s waylay some harmless soul;&lt;br /&gt;1-12 let&#039;s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;u&gt;Secret Mind Control weapons abuses and tortures are to : wait for victims blood, waylay their harmless soul; swallow victims alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit&lt;/u&gt;.)&lt;br /&gt;1-13 we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder;&lt;br /&gt;1-14 throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse&amp;quot;--&lt;br /&gt;1-15 my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; (&lt;u&gt;God asks everyone, do not support mind control weapons abuses and tortures&lt;/u&gt;) &lt;br /&gt;1-16 for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to shed blood.&lt;br /&gt;1-17 How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds!&lt;br /&gt;1-18 These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves!&lt;br /&gt;1-19 Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Warning Against Rejecting Wisdom&lt;br /&gt;1-20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street,she raises her voice in the public squares;&lt;br /&gt;1-21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out,in the gateways of the vity she makes her speech;&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;u&gt;would&amp;nbsp; you not believe that Wisdom had already called out to stop mind control weapons abuses and tortures? and victims have been following her call, and urged government to investigate such crime immediately?&lt;/u&gt;) &lt;br /&gt;1-22 How long will you simple ones love your simple ways? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools tate knowledge?&lt;br /&gt;1-23 If you had responded to my rebuke, I would have poured out my heart to you and made my thoughts known to you.&lt;br /&gt;1-24 But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand,&lt;br /&gt;1-25 Since you ignored all my advoice and would not accept my rebuke,&lt;br /&gt;(&lt;u&gt;please don&#039;t reject to help victims and don&#039;t ignore victims complaint)&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-26 I in turn will laugh at your disater; I will mock when calamity overtakes you--&lt;br /&gt;1-27 When calamity overtakes you like a storm,when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,when distress and trouble overwhelm you.&lt;br /&gt;1-28&amp;quot;Then they will call to me but I will not answer;they will look for me but will not find me.&lt;br /&gt;1-29 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord,&lt;br /&gt;1-30 Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke,&lt;br /&gt;1-31 they will eat the fruit of their ways.and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.&lt;br /&gt;1-32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill them.and the complacency of fools will destroy them; &lt;br /&gt;(&lt;u&gt;Please don&#039;t be so waywardness in supporting mind control weapons abuses and tortures, please don&#039;t be complacency to covert mind control weapons abuses and tortures&lt;/u&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;1-33 but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More information about Mind Control/Directed Energy Weapons&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://peacepink.ning.com/forum&quot;&gt;http://peacepink.ning.com/forum&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>â€śRepublicans - Cold and Consciencelessâ€ť</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;This is a website that I have been following for a while and today was very impressed by the illustration of this very talented individual who continues, day in and day out to express his views in a very interesting and amusing at times way.&amp;nbsp; If you have not seen his web site, you must.&amp;nbsp; Go into the link below and see the illustration.&amp;nbsp; I copied and pasted the text below.&amp;nbsp; All women should see this!&amp;nbsp; Thank you Mario Piperni!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://twurl.nl/2pqhnp&quot;&gt;http://twurl.nl/2pqhnp&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;A new low for the &lt;a href=&quot;XSSCleanedpageTracker._trackPageview (&#039;/outbound/www.huffingtonpost.com&#039;);&quot;&gt;party of shame&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;It turns out that in eight states, plus the District of Columbia, getting beaten up by your spouse is a pre-existing condition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under the cold logic of the insurance industry, it makes perfect sense: If you are in a marriage with someone who has beaten you in the past, you&amp;rsquo;re more likely to get beaten again than the average person and are therefore more expensive to insure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In human terms, it&amp;rsquo;s a second punishment for a victim of domestic violence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ugly enough&amp;hellip;but it gets worse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;In 2006, Democrats tried to end the practice. An amendment introduced by Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), now a member of leadership, split the Health Education Labor &amp;amp; Pensions Committee 10-10. The tie meant that the measure failed.&lt;/p&gt;All ten no votes were Republicans&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s been plenty of opportunities to feel disgust for republicans but today they take me to a new place.&amp;nbsp; Their actions are inexcusable and is another vivid reminder of who they are and what they represent. For all their talk of patriotism and love of country, they once again reveal themselves to be the ugliest part of America. Their callous and cold view of their fellow citizens, devoid of compassion, appears to have no bounds.&amp;nbsp; For Republicans, taking care of the insurance industry takes precedence over the needs of battered women.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If it gets more disgusting than that, I don&amp;rsquo;t know how.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;___&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>The Parable of the Good Samaritan: They formed a Death Panel To March On Washington Considering  Only the Cost and With Callous Indiffernce to the Value of the  Lives of Those Dying Of Diseases Who Are Uninsured, or Who have A Pre-existing Condition.</title>
            <description>Thank God there is a majority in the Congress and in our nation who do not want to be a part of the death panel march on washington to deny health care to those dying of disease uninsured today. But with the spirit of compassion we will be like the Good Samatitan and with out considering the cost take full responsibility to gt the sick the best care possible. God bless America. God said what you do for the least of thes He would do for you. We do want God to grant us good health like we granted those by voting for a public option to offer competition to the insurance and drug lords who have prevented us from finding a cure for cancer, caused diabetes, chelostrol,AdHd, down syndrome and obesity by preservatives, pesticides, and cans, bottles, corn syrup drinks, and advertising for drugs on TV that have many bad side effects rather than promoting good eating habits like olive oil.

            <title>The Parable of the Good Samaritan: They formed a Death Panel To March On Washington Consider in Only the Cost and With Callus Indiffernce to the Value of th Lives of Those Dying Of Diseases who Are Uninsured, or Who have A Pre-existing Condition.</title>
            <description>Thank God there is a majority in the Congress and in our nation who do not want to be a part of the death panel march on washington to deny health care to those dying of disease uninsured today. But with the spirit of compassion we will be like the Good Samatitan and with out considering the cost take full responsibility to gt the sick the best care possible. God bless America. God said what you do for the least of thes He would do for you. We do want God to grant us good health like we granted those by voting for a public option to offer competition to the insurance and drug lords who have prevented us from finding a cure for cancer, caused diabetes, chelostrol,AdHd, down syndrome and obesity by preservatives, pesticides, and cans, bottles, corn syrup drinks, and advertising for drugs on TV that have many bad side effects rather than promoting good eating habits like olive oil.

            <description>&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;And find out what percentage of Americans thought it was an honest to goodness back to school speech and what percentage of extremist ultra conservatives thought otherwise.

I did not get a response the first time:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The following&amp;nbsp;notice was at the bottom of the DOLLAR A DAY contribution for Health Care Reform: &lt;a href=&quot;https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/dnc08hcdollar?source=20090729_dollar_d_2pm &quot; title=&quot;https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/dnc08hcdollar?source=20090729_dollar_d_2pm &quot;&gt;https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/dnc08hcdollar?source=20090729_dollar_d_2pm &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Recurring Contribution: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;By checking the box below, I acknowledge that I am making a recurring contribution and that the amount I have selected above will be charged to my credit card on the 6th of every month. &lt;strong&gt;YOU MAY CANCEL AT ANY TIME&lt;/strong&gt;. The first charge will be made immediately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;To Whom It May Concern,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I would like to know what I have to do to rescind my contribution. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;A few weeks ago, when I thought a Public Option on health care reform, was a possibility, I signed up to donate a dollar a day until the Health Care Reform bill was signed by, President Obama. Well, now it looks as though the far right-wing teabagger/townhallers and the insurance industry lobbies are winning and there will be no health care reform for, we the people of the United States of America. Thus, we will continue to suffer under the greedy insurance companies who make health care unaffordable for most of us. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;In my own family my daughter who is a school teacher, in the Public School System cannot afford health care coverage for her family, she only has coverage for herself. (It would take a third of her $32,000 a year salary, for a family of four)...&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;My son who is self-employed as a local musician pays $650 a month for CATASTROPHIC health insurance. If he or his wife should get sick they will have to come up with $5000 in order to get treatment (The $650 pays for health coverage with a $5000 deductable and nothing else - not preventative, as in a yearly check-ups - it&amp;rsquo;s strictly an amount paid to the insurance company who is gambling that my son will not get sick. Pretty good odds considering my son and daughter-in-law are young). &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;This is sad but not as sad as all those Americans who have no coverage AT ALL because they can&#039;t afford the premiums the insurance companies demand since profit is their only motivation. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Once again, please tell me how to get out of this agreement I have committed to... The dollar a day donation is at this site: https://donate.barackobama.com/page/contribute/dnc08hcdollar?source=20090729_dollar_d_2pm because I would rather donate this sum of money to a worthier cause that will use the money more effectively.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;I don&#039;t want my credit card charged again because I feel it is money thrown away. I would appreciate any help you can give me concerning this &amp;ldquo;problem&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Thank you, &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;thinkingblue.blogspot.com&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Healthcare Reform made SIMPLE and understandable for ALL</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Healthcare Reform made SIMPLE and understandable for ALL in order to prevent abuse by the opposition resulting from ambiguity by the general public, we should: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1- Give it a descriptive and familiar name such as the All American Healthcare Plan (AAH PLAN)&amp;hellip;So that no American CITIZEN would have to deal with AAHs of Pain and financial problems at the same time. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2- Make sure we answer all frequently asked questions and people&amp;rsquo;s concerns in five simple answers or less. And certainly not more! If we do all that, then we will succeed, Guaranteed &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <description>It would be an excellent humanitarian and public relations strategy to pay sufficient compensation to those civilians who get injured or die in Afghanistan and Iraq. Believe me in the long run it would cost a lot less in terms NATO forces lives lost as well as material costs incurred. GUARATEED!</description>

            <title>President Obama&#039;s TV Address to US Kids</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;The President said this...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;I&#039;m going to be making a big speech to young people all across the country about the&amp;nbsp;importance of education; about the importance of staying in school; how we want to improve our education system and why it&amp;rsquo;s so important for the country. So I hope everybody tunes in.&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Chairman of the Republican Party said this...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;The address scheduled for September 8, 2009, does not allow for healthy debate on the President&#039;s agenda, but rather obligates the youngest children in our public school system to agree with our President&#039;s initiatives or be ostracized by their teachers and classmates.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;OMG! Brainwashing kids?! Mr. Chairman give it a rest for crying out loud! EVERYTHING will be ok and EVERYONE will be ok after the address! WOW. I wonder if he put out a letter suggesting that a former administration attempted to brainwash American citizens when we sent our men and women, boys and girls to war? Just a thought...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEED YOU?</title>
            <description>&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;To all United States Senators and Congressmen opposed to Health Care Reform with a strong Public Option, I have something I&#039;d like to address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you called upon me to go door to door to get you elected, I was there. When you called upon me to make phone calls to help get you elected, I was there. When you called upon me to get people to register to vote, I was there. When you called upon me to remind people to get out and vote, I was there. When you called upon me to volunteer to drive people to the polls to vote, I was there. And foremost on my mind right now is when you called upon me from your first day in office to use my tax dollars to pay for the better part of your health care insurance, I was there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I&#039;m calling upon you to allow me the same right to the very same health care insurance you have by committing to support Health Care Reform with a Public Option and I can&#039;t seem to find you. Where are you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realize change is harder than staying with the status quo and I realize at times it may even be unpopular. I also realize when President Obama says .... this is America, we don&#039;t do what&#039;s easy, we do what&#039;s right..... the what&#039;s right part is what we elected you to do. To do what&#039;s right for all Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I promise you, if you support Health Care Reform with a strong Public Option, many Americans will also do what&#039;s right and help get you re-elected. What&#039;s right is quality health care for all Americans as a right and not a privilege.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what&#039;s it going to be? Will you be there for me and 46 million Americans as we were there for you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn from Crystal Beach, FL&amp;nbsp;</description>

            <title>OBAMA KENNEDY (O.K.) HEALTH CARE PLAN IS REALLY A-OK</title>
            <description>&amp;nbsp;One of the major goals of President Obama as well as that of late Senator Ted Kennedy is a comprehensive healthcare for all Americans. A father does not have to worry about finances at the same time as dealing with the cancer of his daughter. It&amp;nbsp;simply is NOT FAIR. In order to find out how grave the situation it would be, one only need to put one self in the shoes of parents whose child has developed such a severe illness and they would have to deal with financial problems as well. More than 40 Million Americans would not be able to give suitable care to a very sick loved one. Is that fair? CERTAINLY NOT! One could sit aside and say that is not my problem as long as I have good health insurance for my self and my family. But that selfish person should rest assured any shortcoming in one&amp;rsquo;s society will sooner or later become their problem as well, one example would be increased crime rate in one&amp;rsquo;s society. That is why there is an ancient Persian saying which states: &amp;ldquo;People are members of the same club of humanity, if one gets sick, then others will feel a lot for her/him and that is called real humanity&amp;rdquo;. Walking on two feet is not the only sign of humanity, if that was the case, then Kangaroos would be humans as well. Perhaps Kangaroos are more human than some humans I know, in Australia one of them tried to knock on the window of a burning house in order to wake up a sleeping person in that house. That Kangaroo did not say I don&amp;rsquo;t care as long as I am out here in the open let that person burn! So let us act like real humans who care about others as well and help President Obama pass this A-OK healthcare plan and make the soul of late Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy happy too. Let&#039;s keep the Kennedy spirit of HELPING THOSE WHO HAVE LESS&amp;nbsp;alive.</description>

            <title>My Condolences To Senator Kennedy Family. I am Glad To Be A Letter From Senator Kennedy To The World</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;My condolences to Senator Kennedy&#039;s Family: We are letters from Senator Kennedy(Health Care Reform Visionary), to America and the wide world.&amp;nbsp; Committment: Senator Kennedy, your letters will deliver your message to America and the wide worldThe apostle Paul said to the disciples of Jesus, &amp;quot;Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;known and read of all men.&amp;quot; In every one of Senator Kennedy&#039;s family members, friends, colleagues in the senate and house of representatives, President Obama sends letters to the world. If we are President Obama&#039;s advocates, he sends in you a letter from Senator Kennedy&amp;nbsp;to Senator Kennedy&#039;s family,&amp;nbsp; to our cities, our counties, United States,&amp;nbsp; the streets, where we live. Senator Kennedy, right now, dwelling in your hearts and minds, including my heart and mind,&amp;nbsp;desires to speak to the hearts of those&amp;nbsp; Americans, who are not acquainted with the Health care Reform Plan.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps they do not read President Obama&#039;s letters from Senator Kennedy nor do they hear the voice of the President when he speaks in Town Hall meets, television commercials and talk shows, reaching out to America in each page of Senator Kennedy&#039;s documents; they do not see the love and humanity of President Obama, through his works, because of the lies and confusion stemming from &amp;quot;Haters&amp;quot; such as&amp;nbsp;Palin, Limbaugh, OReilly, Pat Buchanan, etc.&amp;nbsp;But if you and I, true advocates of President Obama and letters of Senator Kennedy, it may be that through you and I, America will be led to understand something of President Obama&#039;s godliness(goodness), and be won to love and serve humanity. (&lt;em&gt;stps t chp.119egw).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;The literature we (advocates of President Obama/Senator Kennedy) leave in the homes of Americans, will bear fruit.___ &amp;quot;Your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace,&amp;quot; you and I will be prepared to walk from house to house carrying Senator Kennedy&#039;s true vision of Health care Reform to America.&amp;nbsp; Sometime advocates of the Health Care Reform package, will find it very trying to do the work of this kind; yet if we, advocates, go forth in faith, President Obama will succeed in delivering Senator Kennedy&#039;s letter of light(Health Care Reform Pkg.2009), and his leadership will brightly shine upon yours and my pathway to deliver (letter-&amp;nbsp;health care reform package.)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;As you and I enter the homes of yours and my neighbor to sell or simply give-away&amp;nbsp;the Health care Reform Plan, and in humility to give them the truth (Health Care Reform pkg) And, know that each one of us, letters of Senator Kennedy will be accompanied by his spirit--- &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;God will soon do more great things for us if we lie humble and believing Health care Reform will pass because its the very best thing that could happen&amp;nbsp;for America....More than a thousand more will soon be converted in one day and accept Health care Reform plan as envisioned by Senator Kennedy. May he rest in peace. We shall find Senator&#039;s Kennedy&#039;s footprints at the bedside of the sick, in the hovels of poverty, in the crowded alleys of New York City, and every place where there are human hearts in need of consolation. In doing as Senator Kennedy did upon earth, we, letters of Senator Kennedy, shall walk in his footsteps...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gloria J. Hunt Keith&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;24 Harrison Avenue Apt. 210&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Panama City, Floria 32401&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hme Ph. 850-215-3395&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;cell: 850-319-6307&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:gloriahnt@yahoo.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gloriahnt@yahoo.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://actiog.ning.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://actiog.ning.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>SENIORS ARE VERY SPECIAL PEOPLE .......</title>
            <description>I just had a very troubling experience while sitting in the waiting room at my husband&#039;s doctor&#039;s office. Immediately after the incident I came up with an idea I want to run by you all and see if there&#039;s anything you want to add.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was sitting next to an elderly man, I&#039;m guessing he was somewhere between 70 and 75 years old. When I first noticed him I got all excited because he was reading &amp;quot;Audacity of Hope&amp;quot;. In my mind it was .... oh, goody, one of us. How wrong I was. I asked him if he was enjoying the book. His reply was, &amp;quot;I don&#039;t know yet as I just started to read it but I&#039;m sure it will be full of more of the same propaganda&amp;quot;. After I got beyond my rage and anger I tried to find out what it was about PBO that made him feel that way. I got the ever so popular answer about not wanting the government in his medical business and didn&#039;t want anyone messing with his medicare. I explained to him Medicare is a government run plan and all we are fighting for by wanting a public option as part of HCR for 50 million uninsured Americans was the same plan he has. He had no reply and shortly after we were called in to see the doctor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As disturbing as this incident was to me it gave me an idea. We all may want to contact our local DNC and OFA local organizers and suggest they start having town hall meetings for seniors only. We need to get them away form all the people out there trying to convince them how bad a PO would be with all the fear and lies. I feel if we get them in a meeting solely for Seniors we may be able to get rid of their fear and replace it with the facts. I&#039;m thinking that handing them a form with questions may help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sample questions .....&lt;br /&gt;Do you have medicare?&lt;br /&gt;Do you have private insurance?&lt;br /&gt;Are you happy with what you now have?&lt;br /&gt;If you were assured you can keep your doctor &amp;amp; the insurance you now have will you agree to a PO?&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL US SENATORS &amp; CONGRESSMAN .....</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;An Open Letter To All US Senators and Congressmen.....&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am submitting this letter in the hopes that after you read the information I am putting out there, those of in opposition will make a decision to support Health Care Reform with a robust &amp;amp; strong public option. Based on what I read in this article, what every member of Congress has is a public option and a government plan.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;All I&#039;m asking is for the same quality health care you all have and if you still can&#039;t commit to a public option then I will ask that you give up your Health Insurance. If you feel it&#039;s not in my best interest to have a public option then it should not be in your best interest. I see no reason that should you continue to have a health care plan that you so strongly disapprove of. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Federal Employees Health Benefits ProgramAs soon as members of Congress are sworn in, they may participate in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). The program offers an assortment of health plans from which to choose, including fee-for-service, point-of-service, and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). In addition, Congress members can also insure their spouses and their dependents.Not only does Congress get to choose from a wide range of plans, but there&#039;s no waiting period. Unlike many Americans who must struggle against precondition clauses or are even denied coverage because of those preconditions, Senators and Representatives are covered no matter what - effective immediately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And here&#039;s the best part. The government pays up to 75 percent of the premium. That government, of course, is funded by taxpayers, the same taxpayers who often cannot afford health care themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can go to this link to read the entire artice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;http://public-healthcare-issues.suite101.com/article.cfm/health_care_for_the_us_congress&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Respectfully yours,Marilyn J RosbeRG&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Crystal Beach, FL&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <description>&lt;p&gt;Palm Beach county OFA&#039;s, Move On members, and other Obama groups made the big time. Our Thursday, Aug. 20th, 400-strong showing outside Robert Wexler&#039;s healthcare townhall got a mention on The Ed Show (MSNBC 6pm) .&amp;nbsp; See transcript portion below. I have also posted a short video clip of the demonstration&amp;nbsp;on YouTube at:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsAMgtBSSRs&quot;&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsAMgtBSSRs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To view my photos, email me at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:jan4obama@gmail.com&quot;&gt;jan4obama@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt;, or friend me on Facebook (Janice Mekula Golding).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kudos to OFA Organizer Craig Borkon and volunteers Jayne Chapman, Dina Heffernan, and others for organizing the Boca/Delray/Deerfield 4 Obama&amp;nbsp;contingent, complete with cold water runs and handmade signs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Possibly the best moment:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;the stunned silence, then meek and bemused, &amp;quot;Thank you....&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;from the small group of anti-reformers when we invited them to help themselves to our cold water on the 97-degree Florida afternoon.&amp;nbsp; (We should all wear bracelets inscribed, &amp;quot;WWBD?&amp;quot;)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Transcript in &amp;quot;extended post&amp;quot; below.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Good Samaritians will Vote for  Health Care for the 50,000, 000 Uninsured to Make Sure they Have a Chance to Live</title>
            <description>Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has dedicated her life to always act like a Good Samaritan by fighting to help us live since there are fifty million of us who a may die of cancer as we can not get early treatment or any treatment until we collapse in the emergency roomM Former Governor Sarah Palin sided with those hyprocrites who just passed by the man who was dying and needed medical help. Well that is not how you fight special interest and I just wasted my vote for her as she did not care about my needs or the fifty million who need access to the wonderful medical care that all those high and mighty federally insured Congresspeople who smirked when they argue again helping usM. Well thank God for the democratic good Samaritans who fight to help us live and I sure hope I do not hear the hyprocrits campaign on Christyian principles when they are on the death panel to vote against us so we can die of cancer. Shame on you.</description>

            <title>Letter to Congress</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;AN OPEN LETTER TO THE US CONGRESS&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Heed this or enjoy your last term in US Congress&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We, the people, DEMAND that a strong condition-free PUBLIC OPTION be included in whatever Health Care Reform legislation you enact. We will be watching your actions closely, so, keep the following in mind before casting your vote. Make it count for all Americans :-&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Health Care Reform is MEANINGLESS if:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. There is no Public Option ( with clear path to SINGLE PAYER, No Co-ops, No Triggers ).&lt;br /&gt;2. Everybody is not covered. (Without Exception)&lt;br /&gt;3. Coverage can be denied based on &amp;ldquo;Pre-existing&amp;rdquo; conditions.&lt;br /&gt;4. It does not contain Patients&amp;rsquo; Rights.&lt;br /&gt;5. Strict Regulations are not imposed on insurance plans.&lt;br /&gt;6. Affordability and costs to consumers, as well as providers, are not addressed.&lt;br /&gt;7. Accessibility, delivery and quality are not maintained and/or improved.&lt;br /&gt;8. There&amp;rsquo;s NO oversight from medical, financial and national security perspectives.&lt;br /&gt;9. Profit motive is NOT REMOVED.&lt;br /&gt;10. Innovation, Research guidelines and funding are not addressed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Health Care For Patients, NOT For Profit because Health Care For Profit is Health Care DENIED.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should an insurance middleman come between a patient and his/her doctor - especially, if the insurance middleman stands to gain from it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Insurance and Employers have no business being in Health Care. They contribute nothing towards it&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Since Mrs. Palin is already serving on TWO Death Panels, then she should be quiet and NOT spread Rumors about this administrationâ€™s pro elderly health insurance efforts</title>
            <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Mrs. Palin is already serving on two death panels in Alaska; a-Poor Unsuspecting Moose&amp;rsquo;s Death Panel (PUMDP) and b- Poor Unsuspecting Wolves&amp;rsquo; Death Panel (PUWDP). So she should NOT go around and spread rumors about the very health care plan which will help senior citizens and poor people the most!&amp;nbsp; After all THE DOMCRATIC PARTY is the party which has mostly helped senior citizens as the poor and has maximized their benefits wherever possible and NOT the Republican Pro-Rich People Party (RPRPP). Mrs. Palin DO NOT try to show that your care for any body but your self and your 2012 candidacy. This type of candidacy will be based on spreading rumors to make sure that President Obama&amp;rsquo;s humanitarian National Health Insurance efforts fail. You Mrs. Palin can NOT fool any body, your pro-rich report card is known to every body.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Defend your country and democracy</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi viewers of AM and hosts: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have never heard anything as stupid or ignorant as the &amp;quot;stay at home republican mom&amp;quot; altered on CNN. she said and I quote&amp;quot; The government has never run anything efficiently&amp;quot;. The same dumb statement repeated over an over by the zombies on the republican side: &lt;br /&gt;1-America is the greated country in the world, and the government has &amp;quot;run&amp;quot; it into becoming the best in the world.&lt;br /&gt;2-America has the best military in the world. And the Government as made it what it is. The privatization by bush brought us , abugraib, and all other scandals and mismanagement by private contractors.&lt;br /&gt;3-Most insurances are subsidized through legislation that allows them to tax you the premiums you pay every months. &lt;br /&gt;4-All legislation that allow private business to operate in peace and healthy competition is managed by Government.&lt;br /&gt;5-Keeping peace, making roads, and other infrastructures are government programs that run well: we have the best infrastructures in the world, thanks to our government planners. &lt;br /&gt;5-Embassies and foreign services that pave the way to private business in foreign land, protect our interests all over the world, negotiate our participation in the world are all government run. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I was shocked to see CNN give voice to a woman who was merely voicing her own and republicans ignorance or duplicity on the air. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All those who voted for Obama&#039;s agenda rather than his good looks, get out there and defend your votes. 53% voted for now Prez. Obama after comparing his program to all the republicans&#039; and democrats&#039;. After two years of campagning, we finaly settled to chose among democrats Obama, Edward, and Clinton essentially. Then we selected Obama&#039;s agenda to present to Americans. The choice was between the republican agenda of More of the Same, presented by Mcain, and the democrats agenda of Reform (Heathcare and other reforms) presented by&amp;nbsp; Obama. &lt;br /&gt;We made that choice in nov. 2008. Those who are out there trying to undo the votes casted in nov. are plotting a coup in the open. They are the same who failled to convince us to vote for Mcain and his status quo agenda. We voted for a particular reform, that lead and presented by Obama. We should stop these people before they change our democratic process as we know it. Are we going to become the next congo or suddan? Because if elections can&#039;t settle our affairs, it simply means that the street has taken over. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why are we still debating whether to reform or not to reform healthcare? I thought that was settled in the Nov. 2008 elections when we carefully selected the right causes, programs and agenda from more than 8 candidates in 2 years!&amp;nbsp; Among the Democrats, we selected&amp;nbsp; Candidate Obama&#039;s agenda to , among other things,&amp;nbsp; reform health care.&amp;nbsp; Then compared it to Mcain&#039;s and the majority of Americans (53%) voted for Democrats and specifically Obama&#039;s Healthcare.&amp;nbsp; The president, democrats and all those who voted for this reform, or simply those who want democracy to survive, should be out there reminding everyone that the election was over in Nov. 2008. What is going on out in these townhall is a hitjack of our democratic process, a &amp;quot;coup&amp;quot; where by Republicans want to overthrow a duely elected agenda with a president, the decision Americans took to reform Healthcare in Nov. 2008, through Obama&#039; agenda.&amp;nbsp; Don&#039;t temper with our Votes!!!!!!!!&amp;nbsp; We don&#039;t want a watered down version either. I know that the republicans are hoping at least, to water down the bill on healthcare reform by their protest and intimidations so much so that no one would be happy with it, and the majority being unhappy, would never vote again for Obama, or the democrats, because he hasn&#039;t, they couldn&#039;t delivered for those who voted for him (them), in a doomed effort to satisfy those who didn&#039;t want him (them) in office in the first place: The republicans. &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <description>&lt;p&gt;Liberal&#039;s can use this myth-information (part 2; 08/13/09)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although I respect what President Obama is doing by being so professional and walking his&amp;nbsp;talk as he calls to our better nature; I think that liberals &lt;u&gt;could&lt;/u&gt;&amp;nbsp;start health care myths and rumours of their own.&amp;nbsp; One very easy annoucement is that Republicans intend to cut the social programs of social security and medicare to reduce the deficit.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;They will be keeping tax cuts and enacting a new capital gains tax cut.&amp;nbsp; They will be eliminating these programs to pay for the tax cuts.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Truth: Medicare is Not Safe Even With No Action (part 1; 08/09/09)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many of those who are so vocal at town halls appear to be in the social security age group.&amp;nbsp; They don&#039;t want their medicare &amp;quot;touched&amp;quot; by government.&amp;nbsp; They don&#039;t want the program that works for them changed.&amp;nbsp; The truth is that there is no &amp;quot;status quo&amp;quot; in the future for social security or medicare.&amp;nbsp; Combine the numbers of those who will be eligible for social security with the ever increasing costs of health care and the truth about the government deficit&amp;nbsp;becomes clear that it will increase one way of the other:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;health care reform with an increase&amp;nbsp;now or do nothing with an impact later.&amp;nbsp; I can hear the demonstrations of the future talking about how providing health care for my mother&amp;nbsp;is putting a debt on the heads of my children.&amp;nbsp; This is the message that is not being addressed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Adhere to the law of God will let us to victory</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;The laws of God which are written in the Bible are the most important things in our life. &lt;br /&gt;The laws of God which are written in the Bible are the most &lt;br /&gt;I will adhere to the law of God which God teachs me, I will work hard to expose mind control abuse and torture. I will work hard to call people to help and sentence torturers to jail according to law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 2002, When I started to suffer from remote mind control weapons abuse and torture, and was harassed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by voice to skull weapons, God came to me and showed me the law of God which were written in the Bible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proverbs 1-11 If they say, &amp;quot;Come along with us; let&#039;s lie in wait for someone&#039;s blood, let&#039;s waylay some harmless soul;&lt;br /&gt;1-12 let&#039;s swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remote mind control abuse and torture is the most sinful thing in the world. Mind control abuse and torture is to:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;(1-11) &amp;quot;wait for someone&#039;s blood&amp;quot;,and &amp;quot;waylay some harmless soul&amp;quot;;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;(1-12) &amp;quot;swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit&amp;quot;. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God condemned such terrible mind control abuse and torture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Proverbs 1-15 my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths;&lt;br /&gt;1-16 for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to shed blood.&lt;br /&gt;1-18 These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves!&lt;br /&gt;1-19 Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even people were not willing to believe that Wisdom was calling aloud, but they could see that there were some people had been awared by wisdom and calling aloud in the street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But why did people reject to help victims and ignore their calls? I didn&#039;t know what reasons make people to reject to help victims and ignore their calls. &lt;br /&gt;I only knew God condemned mind control abuse and torture. and God asked everyone not give in to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;proverbs 1-10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1-29 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the Lord,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So God also warned everyone in the earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;1-24 But since you rejected me when I called and no one gave heed when I stretched out my hand,&lt;br /&gt;1-25 Since you ignored all my advoice and would not accept my rebuke,&lt;br /&gt;1-26 I in turn will laugh at your disater; I will mock when calamity overtakes you--&lt;br /&gt;1-27 When calamity overtakes you like a storm,when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,when distress and trouble overwhelm you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And God asked everyone not reject wisdom and ignore wisdom, so many victims had been calling aloud about what wisdom had been calling. people should not reject to help victims and should not ignore their calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have not won, I have not been able to find help to sentence torturers to jail according to law. So many people in the world called me loser. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew how waywardness and complacency torturers were.&amp;nbsp; Mind control abuse and torture has also broken law of many countries and United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;I will adhere to the law of God. I will working hard to expose mind control abuse and torture and looking for help to sentence torturers to jail according to law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;More information about mind control abuse and torture, please go to http://peacepink.ning.com/forum&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>LETTER TO THE EDITOR SENT OUT ON AUGUST 6, 2009 .....</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;WHEN DID MEDICARE &amp;amp; MEDICAID STOP BEING GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I must have been out sick the day the memo was sent around stating Medicare &amp;amp; Madicaid are no longer government run health care plans!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), ranking member on the Senate Finance Committee, said that in countries with government-run health care, Kennedy &amp;ldquo;would not get the care he gets here because of his age.&amp;rdquo; Instead, the government would decide to spend health care resources on younger people &amp;ldquo;who can contribute to the economy&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First of all, I take personal offense to Senator Grassley&#039;s statement. Today my husband, who is 70 years old, underwent surgery to have a tumor removed from his head.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband has Meidacre &amp;amp; Medicaid. He selected his own specialist, his own surgeon, the total cost was $4 up to and including today&#039;s surgery. He will be starting chemo therapy in about one week and that too, will be totally covered.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So to those believe elderly people on government run health care plans would be turned down and left to die. My husband is proof that is not so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn from Crystal Beach, Fl&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>We must unite!</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;I have come online tonight to reach out to every single supporter of President Obama&#039;s health care reform. There was a town hall meeting held at the local Children&#039;s Board with our representative, Kathy Castor, tonight that not only was too packed to allow all of the citizens in, but the amount of protestors who came out against Obama&#039;s health care plan were overwhelming and very vocal. I know that there were some Obama supporters there, but we were incredibly outnumbered by very angry and aggressive local citizens. I cannot imagine that with the chaos going on outside of that building tonight, that this will be the only meeting held for our politicians to listen to citizens&#039; voices. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;President Obama has asked us to stay vigiliant in our community action and advocacy, even though the election is over. Anyone who supports this reform needs to&amp;nbsp;make their voices heard. We must make sure to not allow the media to perpetuate the illusion that Hillsborough County and Florida voters aren&#039;t in support of President Obama. Many of us are. Many of us are living without health care. Many of us cannot afford the health care, medical bills or medicine that we do have access to. We are facing enormous problems with our current health care system, and we have to make sure that our President, our senators, our state and local representatives have an accurate picture of what we truly want and need. Please stay plugged in to your local news and information about any upcoming town hall meetings around health care reform, and if you weren&#039;t there tonight, GET THERE NEXT TIME! AND EARLY! This is too important to stay quiet about-everyone is watching and listening to what voters are expressing. Fight like your lives depend on this, because they do!&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Shock and Awe Town Mauls: base activation for 2010</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Town Mauls (part 2)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I realized that the 47% against health care reform contains the 45.7% that did not vote for President Obama in 2008.&amp;nbsp; They do not want the change that the majority (54.3%) voted for.&amp;nbsp; They were against the stimulus and are now yelling for&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;less government invovement&amp;quot; in healthcare.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;They believe the economy can only be fixed through&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;tax policy&amp;quot; and&amp;nbsp;are also&amp;nbsp;firm believers in the doom that comes from a large government deficit.&amp;nbsp; They are the other side and will be out demonstrating on anything the President does that&amp;nbsp;they consider as &amp;quot;change&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp; We do need to listen to them but we can&#039;t let them prevent us from taking action.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think that we should give&amp;nbsp;them the opportunity to ask questions but we can&#039;t let them prevent us&amp;nbsp;providing information.&amp;nbsp; Perhaps we should actively&amp;nbsp;call them on their shut down actions e.g.&amp;nbsp;let them speak:&amp;nbsp;challenge&amp;nbsp;their incorrect information and ask&amp;nbsp;them what they are proposing as an alternative.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;When they can&#039;t offer counter proposals ask them why they think nothing is the better option?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Shock and Awe Town Halls: base activation for 2010 (part 1) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am very upset with this new tactic by those who want to discourage Barack Obama&#039;s supporter.&amp;nbsp; I hear that&amp;nbsp;elected republicans are supporting this action because it will&amp;nbsp;activate&amp;nbsp;their base to come out&amp;nbsp;for the midterm elections.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;The prediction is for this midterm to be like other midterms e.g. only the disgruntled participate.&amp;nbsp; OFA needs to start sending the message that what was started with Barack Obama&#039;s election must be continued - his election was not a silver bullet to fix politics.&amp;nbsp; Every election is&amp;nbsp;important and has consequences.&amp;nbsp; Lets start by looking at incumbants who are most vested in the status quo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>THE WASTED COSTS OF THE CURRENT HEALTH CARE SYSTEM</title>
            <description>&amp;nbsp;If anyone out still wants to question that there are wasted costs in the Medicare system we currently have, let me share my personal story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My husband is 70 years old, he has Medicare and Medicaid. He is currently going through some very serious health issues. Over the past 4 weeks in trying to find the right physician to take care of him, he has had various tests done by several doctors. On Thursday of last week we finally found the right specialist needed to treat his illness. Once again, more tests were ordered. While waiting at the lab for my husband to get done with his tests I asked what happened to all the previous tests he had done. I was informed they were just sitting in the file there at the lab, no doctor had asked for them. I asked if I could have them. I was first told no, a doctor had to give permission to have them released. I politely corrected that person and explained they were my husband&#039;s property and I wanted them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once we got home and looked at all the tests from the past 4 weeks we realized how many were the same test. I could understand a 2nd request for a test already done, but 4 of the same. This, in my opinion, is a waste of money. This is the Medicare cost waste that President Obama speaks about, not taking away coverage or affecting Medicare coverage, just eliminating wasted costs.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can&#039;t help but wonder if what it cost for all the tests done on my husband when only 2 would have been sufficient could maybe have paid for health care for one person for an entire year!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn from Crystal Beach, FL</description>

            <title>HEALTH CARE REFORM HAS BECOME VERY PERSONAL FOR ME ....</title>
            <description>Once again, I&#039;m about to wear my heart on my sleeve and share my personal story. I have submitted this to &amp;quot;share my story&amp;quot; and sent it out as a letter to editors.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Three weeks ago my husband discovered a lump in the back of his head just above his neck. After several appointments with his regular physician, comprehensive blood work, and 2 MRI&#039;s, it was determined that he has a tumor. He was told to find a cancer specialist in order to have a biopsy done to find out if the tumor is benign or cancerous.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever since, we have been trying to find a specialist. We asked his regular care physician for a recommendation and were told we have to find the specialist on our own. So far we have had 3 replies of not being able to get an appointment for at least 4 weeks and 4 replies of getting our called returned but never getting our call returned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all this time the lump has gotten bigger. My only recourse is to take him to our local hospital, explain the situation and demand they call in a specialist to do the biopsy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not a case of not having health care coverage. My husband has complete coverage, no deductible and no co-pay, yet he has still has to wait weeks to see a doctor. This may very well turn out to be a life threatening situation, yet he still waits to see a specialist.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet some will say the Health Care System in our country is just fine the way it is. To those people I can only ask ....&amp;quot;will you still feel that way if it were your husband?&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sharing my story because I want to send a message out to people who are against any form of Health Care Reform with a Public Option. Some seem to think they will wait to see a doctor or not be able to chose their own doctor. Well guess what, under our current system, you do wait to see a doctor. My husband is living proof of that fact. And as far as having a doctor chosen for me, right at this very moment if that were the only way to get him this much needed appointment for a biopsy, I would gladly welcome that too!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilyn from Crystal Beach, FL&lt;br /&gt;</description>

            <title>We Didnâ€™t Just Fail To Support President Obama And Professor Gates; We Failed To Support The Common Sense Values We All Share As Americans.</title>
            <description>&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;We Didn&amp;rsquo;t Just Fail To Support President Obama And Professor Gates; We Failed To Support The Common Sense Values We All Share As Americans. &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The president of the United States made a straight forward common sense comment about the Gates&amp;rsquo; arrest at a national press conference. I&amp;rsquo;m sure he assumed that there would be universal common sense understanding throughout the media and our society about the injustice of arresting a middle-aged man within his own home for being rude to a police officer. Sadly the media, law enforcement, political institutions and race baiting public in this society allowed this common sense evaluation to spiral out of control.&amp;nbsp; The minority population in this country has always and will always need a coalition of proactive citizens with a similar sense of values in this society so injustices can be expressed without chaos, political unrest or violence. That has been the basis of every minority civil rights movement of our country. The president acknowledged an obvious injustice at a national press conference and expected common sense police officers, nurses , doctors , teachers, the media, politicians and everyday citizens to understand and support his outrage at the injustice and humiliation Professor Gates endured in his own home. Common sense values dictate that no one would want their dad or grandfather to be arrested in their own home for being rude to the police. But instead, this society debated and continues to debate whether Professor Gates should have been humiliated in such a manner by a professional police officer.&amp;nbsp; President Obama is president of the United States, but he is also a member of a minority group of citizens in this country, and he has to navigate in ways someone who is not a member of a minority will never have to. As a member of a minority group, just as in the civil rights movement, President Obama&#039;s voice on injustice in this country, is and will only be as strong and as loud as the courage, strength and volume of the coalition of common folks who elected this president to office. Without common sense folks repeatedly speaking out loudly and confronting an obvious injustice, the president&amp;rsquo;s voice will be drowned out by the race baiting fringe groups, media and other institutions that know his voice is only as strong as yours. The radical fringe wants everything about President Obama, from birth certificates to pre-school, from friends to religious associations, marriage, political appointments and opinions to revolve around race, so that the voices of common sense folks with common sense values and issues can be drowned out by fake controversies, chaos and political unrest. If we empower the president&#039;s voice on common sense issues within this country, we will mute the divide and conquer tactics of these racists fringe elements in our society that surely benefit from political unrest and racial strife in the United States. The president spoke out about an obvious injustice to one of the most respected scholars in the country. It is our responsibility as citizens to back the common sense approach and determination that the president came to, repeatedly and loudly. In this democracy our president is a reflection of who we are and what we represent as a society. If we fail to speak up and support this president&amp;rsquo;s common sense approach on issues of injustice and policy in this country, the president we elected will have no voice, and neither will we.&lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;text-indent: 0.5in; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; H.

            <description>&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Believe it or not, the reality of the situation in Cambridge is not race-based.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;It is about&amp;nbsp;a personal&amp;nbsp;sense&amp;nbsp;of being disrespect and&amp;nbsp;the response to them.&amp;nbsp; This is the teachable moment.&amp;nbsp; Race obscures the reality of the dynamics of the situation that happens in the US every day e.g. forced acceptance of authoritarian&amp;nbsp;demands made by some individuals in public safety.&amp;nbsp; Hypervigilance is defined as abnormally increased arousal, responsiveness to stimuli, and scanning of the environment for threats.&amp;nbsp; Too many public safety employees come into situations primed to respond and reacting to individual responses in a negative way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p XSSCleaned=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt&quot; class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Perhaps the training we should be giving our public safety officials is sensitivity to and management of their own physiological state while being in the midst of an emotionally charged situation.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>THE URGENCY FOR HEALTH CARE REFORM WITH A PUBLIC OPTION</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;If there are still people out there who think we do not need need fix what&#039;s broken with Heath Care in our country, I have a suggestion. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Every Govenor, Senator, Representative, Mayor and any American who have not yet joined the fight for Health Care Reform with a strong Public Option should spend one day a week just sitting in the waiting room of a hospital Emergency Room.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recently I had to take a family member to the ER and while there what I observed just broke my heart. I saw people who had health insurance walk in and get seen by the doctor in minutes. But more important, I saw people without health insurance walk in and wait hours to be seen. There was a mother with a baby two months old waiting to be seen. I couldn&#039;t help over hear the mother say she had no health insurance for her baby. I heard that mother call her home to let her family know she was still waiting for the doctor. I knew we arrived hours after she did, yet we were seen before her. I can only attribute it to the fact that my family member had health insurance. That&#039;s not right. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe those opposed to Health Care Reform, those who feel it&#039;s not needed, many of whom are our elected officials, need to sit in an ER for an entire day, for several days, even a full week. After observing what I observed at the ER, maybe they will get it. The urgency and need for Health Reform with a strong Public Option. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marilyn Rosberg Crystal Beach, FL&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Is Government more inefficient than the private sector?</title>
            <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Why is government so inefficient?&amp;nbsp; Because the &amp;ldquo;other side&amp;rdquo; (determined by the party in office) refuses to allow any division/department/program to be funded in order to operate adequately.&amp;nbsp; The President asks for so much money to fund a program.&amp;nbsp; The House and Senate each write a bill with their own pet projects in it.&amp;nbsp; Then they reconcile the bills to get one that both can sign.&amp;nbsp; During this process dollars are changed, removed, and added, yet the almighty anxiety of the &amp;ldquo;deficit&amp;rdquo; gets dusted off and trotted out.&amp;nbsp; There was a time when business was better than government but that was years ago.&amp;nbsp; That was before the decade of self-interest dawned on the US.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Now health care providers and insurers look more and more like the government e.g. pushed to do more with less.&amp;nbsp; Add to that the fact that those at the top of government want to live the life of luxury like corporate leaders.&amp;nbsp; They too who want more and more.&amp;nbsp; Government employees used to get better benefits than the private because they earned less.&amp;nbsp; Today our government leaders want more pay and the best benefits.&amp;nbsp; Does it really matter who takes our money and gives us little value in return?&amp;nbsp; I hate paying for either corporate executives or elected officials to live a life I won&amp;rsquo;t ever see.&amp;nbsp; I prefer to give my money to the government to share among more like me than to businesses whose primary mission is greed and whose power is our purse.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Until we change ourselves those we elect to government we will not change anything because those at the top like it this way!&amp;nbsp; We must stop accepting unchallenged incumbants and poor business practices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Look at this example of government waste (I&#039;m using very rough estimates but as my mother said:&amp;nbsp;take care of the pennies and the dollars take care of themselves)&lt;/strong&gt;:&amp;nbsp; Take Mike Pence who stated on C-span that the cost of his health insurance benefit is over $1,000 a month.&amp;nbsp; The cost of a family health plan at my company is $800.00.&amp;nbsp; Take the $200 difference times the 534 in congress&amp;nbsp; (434 representatives and 100 senators) times 12 months.&amp;nbsp; This is a measly $1,281,600 per year that my taxes are paying for individuals to have better benefits than me.&amp;nbsp; Why not review the costs of health care benefits imbedded in our government and make them more like those of the common citizen?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Harry and Louise in 2009:&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; Where is the picture of the crowded exam room with Maud lying on the bed, the doctor sitting beside the bed on a stool, and Harold standing off to the side looking concerned.&amp;nbsp; On one side is Harold&amp;rsquo;s employer, his arms are around Harold&amp;rsquo;s shoulders.&amp;nbsp; Standing next to the employer&amp;rsquo;s is his health insurance agent.&amp;nbsp; The agent&amp;rsquo;s arm is around the employer&amp;rsquo;s shoulders.&amp;nbsp; The agent is speaking to Harold.&amp;nbsp; &amp;ldquo;Do you really want the government in here with us?&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Where are the jobs?  Why are you asking instead of taking action &amp; creating them!</title>
            <description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;I listened today to House Representatives give one-minute speeches.&amp;nbsp; They all slipped the line &amp;ldquo;Where are the jobs&amp;rdquo; into their presentations.&amp;nbsp; It was so obvious that this was a party strategy&amp;nbsp;and subject of&amp;nbsp;a talking points memo.&amp;nbsp; Given the number of speeches decrying the stimulus plan, raising concerns about looming deficits, and taxing small businesses all as destroyers&amp;nbsp;of jobs, I found myself wondering.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;There had to be at least 25 speakers.&amp;nbsp; If each speaker went out&amp;nbsp;and helped even a small number of people create jobs for others&amp;nbsp;then think of the ripple effect.&amp;nbsp; It is not&amp;nbsp;acceptable to allow any group&amp;nbsp;to sit on the sidelines&amp;nbsp;and cheer for defeat! &amp;nbsp;They must be questioned about what they are each doing personally to create jobs through their elected positions.&amp;nbsp; Yes, this is like the argument about &amp;ldquo;Republicans just saying no&amp;rdquo; but the creation of jobs is so important that no one can be excused from taking any action they could to create jobs.&amp;nbsp; They can&#039;t get off the hook just by voting no and then hand wringing and naysaying.&amp;nbsp; They have a fairly powerful job in their own right and how are they using it?&amp;nbsp; How many jobs has Rep. Boehner personally saved/created in his district verses how many have been saved/created via the stimulus plan?&amp;nbsp; It is up to everyone to get the citizens of our nation back to work not just the democrats in an elected federal position.&amp;nbsp; It is also up to executives of global companies started here not just small businesses.&amp;nbsp; No one should get a pass to sit on the side.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>HEALTH CARE REFORM AND WHAT WE NEED TO DO AS CITIZENS......</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;Every place you look these days, the main topic is Health Care Reform. Whether it be heard on the morning or evening news, radio stations around the country, at water coolers, break rooms and lunch rooms at the office or at your own dining room table, there is much discussion. &amp;nbsp;The dining rooms table conversations are where health care reform is most talked about. &amp;nbsp;It is where every day Middle Class Americans have serious discussions. &amp;nbsp;They &amp;nbsp;have the most to benefit from Health Care Reform. Forty six million of those Americans have no health care.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Some of the comments we are hearing are ..... &amp;nbsp;we need health care reform, our health care system is broken, legislators recognize we need some kind of health care reform, legislators are scared to do what&#039;s right because they that may not get campaign donations from those opposed to health care reform. Some are for a single payer system, some are against it. &amp;nbsp;Some are for a strong public option, others are against it. &amp;nbsp;Some say the debt will take centuries to pay back, others say health care reform came be done without a bug debt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;President Obama promised Americans Health Care Reform would get done during his first year in office. &amp;nbsp;Senators and Representatives either have a very short memory or are just not paying attention or hearing what Americans are saying they want included in the bill.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first thing that we have to realize is our country does not have a Health Care System, it has a health Care Industry. &amp;nbsp;A Health Care Industry does not make and keep people healthy it only makes and keeps the wallets of the Health Care Industry healthy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We know a single payer system is not to be in this go around, but Health Care Reform with a good and strong public option is something that can be done. If your Senator or Representative is showing resistance to a public option then it&#039;s time to show them who they work for. &amp;nbsp;We voted them in and we can vote them out. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They have been discussing Health Care Reform for over 30 years, it&#039;s time to stop discussing and act!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marilyn from Crystal Beach, FL&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>Thanks to the Hard Work of Congress and the Obama Administration, We Are Almost There on Healthcare Reform</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;We are almost to the votes on the congressional floors for The Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bill has to pass 5 committess to get to both floors of congress:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;House - Energy and Commerce&lt;br /&gt;House - Ways and Mean &lt;br /&gt;House - Education and Labor&lt;br /&gt;Senate - HELP&lt;br /&gt;Senate - Finance&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Bill - H.R. 3200, has already passed two committees in the House: Ways and Means and Education and Labor. Now it only has to pass in Energy and Commerce to go the the House floor for a vote! Exciting! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Energy and Commerce will take up the matter on Monday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for the Senate, we need it to pass only the Finance Committee now, it already passed through the HELP Committee. Once the Finance Committee aproves, it&#039;s on to the Senate floor for a vote.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The good news is we have a majority on the Senate Finance Committee:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://finance.senate.gov/sitepages/committee.htm&quot;&gt;http://finance.senate.gov/sitepages/committee.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think we are okay in Energy and Commerce too, but I have not verified it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Once the Bill has been passed through by the last two committees, we are alomost there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The pressure will then heat up on the naysayer democrats to go along with the historic legislation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for the republicans, we really do not need them because of a process called reconciliation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Things are looking good. Thanks to the leadership of President Obama, America will finally get health care reform.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

            <title>A Bush Administration Investigation could drown out</title>
            <description>&lt;p&gt;A Bush Administration investigation by a special prosecutor could drown out the republican opposition&#039;s drum beat about the negative potential of a looming deficit.&amp;nbsp; People have been so exposed to republican negativity that they have become&amp;nbsp;nervous about looking forward.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Unfortunately it is also being echoed by Congressional Democrats.&amp;nbsp; The message &amp;quot;Yes we can!&amp;quot; has been changed to &amp;quot;Yes, we can&amp;nbsp;- but - can we really afford it?&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp; We learned from the last administration that you could run large deficits but we did not learn how to run large deficits with a conscience e.g. an opposition party droning on about the negative potentials of those deficits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If we are against starting a&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;tit-for-tat&amp;quot; process&amp;nbsp;going forward by investigating a prior administration for &amp;quot;crimes&amp;quot;, then forget it until we change the dynamics of party politics.&amp;nbsp; If we are against the distraction component&amp;nbsp;then get over it because we are losing&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;the distraction of &amp;quot;fear of&amp;nbsp;the future&amp;quot;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;As the pressure we felt from our&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;fear of now&amp;quot; during December and January has been converted&amp;nbsp;into&amp;nbsp;a &amp;quot;fear of the future&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;over the last few months we may need a distraction to get us through now without fearing tomorrow and ceasing to act for change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
