Cheney's War Against Obama

Hmmm! I am on OUR side. Do you remember that little document Bush used to wipe with...we call it the Constitution.



We send soldiers to die to protect it so Bush can ignore it? No one is "sticking up" for terrorists. This is about sticking up for our own Constitution. If we don't honor it ourselves how can we suggest anyone else should do so including people we ask to die to protect it.



Don't let the "right" keep you brainwashed into thinking our Constitution should be a "part time" document to use only when convenient.



This [Gitmo] is a problem Bush and conservatives made...not Obama or liberals...or is your memory really that short?

Cheney's War Against Obama

He [Cheney] is the wizzard...saying:



"Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"



It is all a distraction to try to get people to stop looking at his own past deeds.

Reform in the Age of Plastic

I have not read the bill but I hope that some of the protections re. fees etc. also protect debit card users. I have eliminate all of my credit cards. It is still safer to use a debit card rather than to carry cash so I am still a user of "plastic" money.



One dirty trick ( I have not been the target of this myself ) is for a bank to allow a debit to exceed the balance in your account then charge your account $35 to cover the purchase even if the overage amounts to a few cents. On top of that some banks then charge your account a fee as much as $5 a day for every day your account is over drawn. If a husband and wife each have a card on the same account it is not uncommon for them to use the card without knowing the other has just reached a limit. Then since they may not get a pay check for a week or two, they find that an over the limit of a dollar will wind up costing them a large chunk of their pay check !



A friend of mine banked at Merchantile Bank who allowed a charge to exceed balance by 69 cents. An over draft fee of $35.00 plus 5 days at $5 per day while waiting for a pay check to deposit resuluted in a $60 fee.

Words Designed to Kill Health Care Reform

I wrote my republican Senator Mel Martinez. Since it is too long to post here I posted it on the Jacksonville Times. Here is a link. I encourage everyone to write something to their congressman.

Will Congress Back Bibi Or Obama?

RIGHT does not equal peace. It equals only cash for their military industrial complex owners.



Peace does not profit them so they are afraid of it. Profits outweigh human lives or the future of the world with them.



This is the reason people finally opened their eyes to vote for Obama.



it has been a long time since any politician has told the truth and tried to keep their campaign promises. That sets the bar too high for most career politicians and they don't like the idea of having to live up to such a high standards.



They live well in the status quo

Ending the War on Drugs: The Moment is Now

Your kids are your responsibility until they are no longer kids. What are YOU doing to prevent them from using drugs. In fact the war on drugs made drugs more available to kids in the first place. Without the illegal trade there is no pusher on the playground seeking his next customer to support his habit.



I am tired of parents wanting anyone but themselves to take care of their kids.



On the subject of "dying" pot has never been shown to have killed anyone while tobacco kills half a million a year and alcohol about 140,000 a year not counting drunk driving. Drug crimes kill but the key work there is "crime" not the drugs. Over doses most often occur because of bad drugs, HIV etc. from dirty needles. Many more from prescription drugs kids steal from their own parents.



While drugs are illegal, treatment is problematic. Legal drugs reduce the number of drug users and provide for open and non-stigmatizing rehab alternatives that don't cause employment and social problems later.

That Didn't Take Long: Insurance Industry Breaks Promise To President Obama

Many people don't qualify for these programs until they reach 65. I am presently 63 and without any coverage. In Florida a single person cannot apply for medicare. Only those with minor children are eligible. Remember each state set's their own rules. The only thing available to me is a local clinic with a sliding fee scale for minor stuff.



I have had arthritis in my left hip for a number of years. I can barely walk and can't stand for more than a few minutes. I need a new hip but without insurance my only option is to continue to let my hip deteriorate further until I am 65 and hope that medicare will fix it. It will then be a more radical surgery than if it could have been done several years ago.



In the mean time I don't have the ability to do the work I used to do as an electrician. My income is much lower than it could be. Universal health care would have helped me obtain a hip, work for several more years and pay more taxes while building up more social security. Instead I have to rely on what I can earn working from home. I earn so little I had to take early social security and after deductions am not paying any income taxes at all.



Instead of universal care you can send me all the web design work you can find. http://www.stuffdone.com 10% goes to charity.
