OBAMA'S FAILED PRESIDENCY/OBAMA HAS BETRAYED THE PUBLIC TRUST, ALONG WITH HIS MINIONS:

2011-03-26T01:56:00.001-07:00

When H.R. 4872 did not provide any of us uninsured folks with health insurance, it is a corrupt contract to levy taxes onto the states, GA will suffer $2.5 billion in deficits over the next 10yrs. without repeal, the only thing it did provide: raging unemployment 9-10%+, still no health insurance, and $14 trillion dollar federal deficit.

WHAT IS "THE SYNTHESIS"? The synthesis is an objective analysis of political journalism, an assessment of the perception of the facts, a political digest for the common man. DISCLAIMER: IF YOU'RE IGNORANT, A HYPOCRITE, OR NOT A FAN OF RAW JOURNALISM, THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU, AND YOU SHOULD JUST STOP READING NOW AND DELETE THIS, NOT SEND ME AN EMAIL BACK WHINING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GET IT FORWARDED BACK TO YOUR OWN BOX --- just ask Carolyn Cary of "The Citizen" Fayette Edition! There are no spam laws in GA, and just because I use my freedom of speech in a way that challenges you doesn't necessarily mean anything in a court of law, or by you threatening to send me a summons in the mail just because your sensibilities are different than mine: it doesn't make me "scum"; it just makes your political philosophy as stale and decrepit as your existence and attitude....(if you're curious, see the archive at the end of this edition.) I have even found that those in law enforcement are seemingly oblivious to our current laws and how the laws are supposed to be interpreted properly by and through the Constitution, so I encourage you to exercise your rights, before they disappear from American culture. You don't have to write a newsletter like this one, but you surely can forward it to your friends, and you can even talk about it around the water cooler!! This publication is brought to you by people like us, who seek out the truth, an online collaboration of discussion topics for your perusal. *If you're being threatened with legal action for telling the truth, you're on the right side of the law*.

Some of you may have wondered where I’ve been since the end of August, so my dear readers, I must tell you, lobbyists are ALWAYS working, whether or not they are in front of a computer screen or being present at their state legislative building discussing/revising legislation, even community gatherings and tea parties at home take a lot of time and preparation, to get people to openly discuss politics one must create the atmosphere to do so. Which means a lot of legislative revision does take place in the wee hours of the night, the early hours of the morning, as we sandwich 12hrs. of working or rearing children around it all. I had several odd jobs: tutoring, housekeeping, dog sitting, and other personal matters requiring great responsibility and :

(I had exhausted all of the images available to me after exposing the campaign strategies of the Democrats, so to savor the success of “The Synthesis” over the past year, I hope to continue bringing you something that you’re actually thankful to read about: the good, the bad, and the fugly....

NOT the ‘make us think they’re good’, ‘but we’re not really bad’, with more economic brainwashing. If you haven’t figured out what “The Synthesis” is all about, in the in the Internet world and American politics, it’s everything!)

Judge's Rebuke to Obamacare Opens Door to States' Lawsuit

Thursday, 14 Oct 2010 03:18 PM
Article Font Size
By David A. Patten
Grass-roots conservatives and GOP leaders rejoiced Thursday following a federal judge's ruling that a multistate challenge to the constitutionality of Obamacare must be allowed to go forward.

The Obama administration had asked that the lawsuit be dismissed as groundless and tossed out of court. Thursday's rejection of those arguments sets up a Dec. 16 hearing on the merits of the case.

A similar challenge to Obamacare in Virginia is scheduled to go to trial on Monday.

The effort of 20 state attorneys general to have Obamacare declared unconstitutional is shaping up as a major legal battle playing out on the eve of the November midterm elections. All sides agree that the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately will decide the case.

Story continues below video.

Federal Judge Roger Vinson on Thursday afternoon tossed out three of the states' six objections to Obamacare and ruled another one moot.

But he gave the states and the National Federation of Independent Business, which has joined the lawsuit, permission to press forward on the two points most legal analysts say are their strongest:
That a federally mandated expansion of Medicaid will "run [state] budgets off a cliff."
That the individual mandate requiring people to have healthcare insurance exceeds the federal government's constitutional authority, under the Commerce Clause, to regulate interstate commerce.

Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum, who is leading the multistate lawsuit, issued a statement hailing the judge's decision as "a victory for the American people."

In an exclusive interview, McCollum tells Newsmax he is "really pleased" with the judge's ruling.

"I was not surprised," he says, "but I was pleased. I thought that we had the best case [and] that we were going to win this. But it's always nice to hear the result."

Vinson, who was nominated to the bench by the late President Ronald Reagan, did not comment on how he might rule in his final decision. But he did not bother to conceal his strong skepticism regarding some of the government's arguments.

At one point in his 65-page order, he wrote that the administration was asking "that I divine hidden and unstated intentions, and despite considerable evidence to the contrary, conclude that Congress really meant to say one thing when it expressly said something else."

Elsewhere, he contended that Justice Department attorneys were making an "Alice in Wonderland" argument in maintaining the government had not overreached its constitutional authority.

"I'd say the tenor [of the order] is that we are dealing with a judge who is very favorably inclined to rule in our favor in the final decision he is going to render in a couple of months," McCollum tells Newsmax . . . We still have to go argue the merits, [but] I believe he signaled to us that he's really leaning heavily our way, and the Justice Department is really going to have to come up with something to persuade him otherwise."

National Federation of Independent Business Executive Director Karen Harned praised the judge's ruling.

"We're thrilled of course," she tells Newsmax. "We're very happy that we're going to have our day in court on what we think is a very unconstitutional law.

"It was a very thoughtful opinion," she adds, "but we were encouraged by the fact that he recognizes what I think is rather obvious: That this individual mandate — either forcing people to pay a fine or purchase health insurance — really is unprecedented. We're hopeful that ultimately he will rule also that it's unconstitutional."

One reason grass-roots activists were so energized about the judge's ruling: The growing recognition that, even if Republicans were to gain control of both chambers of Congress, President Barack Obama still could block any repeal with a stroke of his veto pen. But an adverse court ruling is not subject to presidential review.

Moreover, because the Democratic reform legislation has no boilerplate severability clause, some legal analysts say a court finding that any part of it is illegal would negate the entire bill.

Matt Kibbe, the FreedomWorks leader and staunch ally of tea party organizations, suggests the ruling reflects the shaky legal basis for legislation that he says was only passed through "procedural chicanery" in the first place.

"I think it validates the argument that activists have been making from day one, that this was a huge overstep of the federal government's constitutional authority," he says. "The very idea that you can mandate that someone buy a certain product from a certain industry, simply because you live and breathe, you can't find that power in the Constitution."

In his order, Judge Vinson cited several government documents that clearly indicated Congress knew the individual mandate was a major, possibly unconstitutional, expansion of federal powers long before the president signed the legislation into law.

"Unfortunately it's not surprising," Kibbe tells Newsmax. "Because they've shown great disdain for constitutional restraint all along."

Thursday's ruling marked the second time that a federal judge allowed a state-level lawsuit against healthcare reform to move forward.

The first lawsuit to pass muster occurred in Virginia, under the direction of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli.

A third lawsuit brought by the Thomas Moore Law Center, which asked for a temporary injunction to block the law, was thrown out by a Michigan judge on Oct. 8.

That judge ruled that an individual's decision not to purchase healthcare insurance is a transaction that Congress can regulate under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

In the Michigan case, the judge's opinion stated: "The decision whether to purchase insurance or to attempt to pay for health care out of pocket is plainly economic. These decisions, viewed in the aggregate, have clear and direct impacts on health care providers, taxpayers and the insured population, who ultimately pay for the care provided to those who go without insurance."

Vinson's ruling Thursday actually referenced part of the Michigan opinion that admitted the individual mandate's expansion of federal authority was without precedent.

The next step state case will occur Dec. 16, when the judge will convene a hearing for motion for summary judgment that both sides are now expected to file.

McCollum expects the hearing also will include the arguments for the lawsuit itself.

Whichever side wins, the ruling is sure to be appealed and ultimately to reach the Supreme Court, sources say.

The other lawsuit in Virginia is scheduled to begin Monday at 9 a.m. in Richmond, in Judge Henry E. Hudson's District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

NUDGE: DOA TO USE ‘FOOD BEHAVIOR SCIENTISTS’ TO MODIFY KIDS’ EATING HABITS

Federal officials are turning to psychology in a new approach to get kids to choose healthier foods in the school lunch line.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced today it is giving $2 million to food behavior scientists to use marketing tricks to encourage kids to pick fruits and veggies over cookies and french fries.
Some of the ideas include hiding chocolate milk behind plain milk, putting the salad bar near checkout, placing fruit in pretty baskets and accepting only cash as payment for desserts.
Another idea suggests using pre-paid cards that only allow students to purchase healthy options from the school cafeteria.
Studies by Cornell University researchers have found these tactics work, the Associated Press reports, and Cornell will start a new child nutrition center to test more of these methods.
According to a release on the DOA’s website, the Cornell-based research center will be called the Center for Behavioral Economics in Child Nutrition Programs. The money will also fund 14 other research projects in Connecticut, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The release outlines the reasoning behind the funding as well: leaving choices to schools, students, and parents is not the way to ensure students make “healthful choices.” Good intentions, it explains, often do not translate into good choices:
[I]t is well recognized that understanding the value of a healthy diet does not always translate into healthy choices. Research has shown that good intentions may not be enough: when choosing what or how much to eat, we may be unconsciously influenced by how offers are framed, by various incentives, and by such factors as visual cues.
“This research can suggest practical, cost-effective ways that the school environment can better support healthful choices,” the release adds.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Government Seeks Back Door Into All Our Communications

Commentary by Seth Schoen
The New York Times reported this morning on a Federal government plan to put government-mandated back doors in all communications systems, including all encryption software. The Timessaid the Obama administration is drafting a law that would impose a new "mandate" that all communications services be "able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages" — including ordering "[d]evelopers of software that enables peer-to-peer communication [to] redesign their service to allow interception".
Throughout the 1990s, EFF and others fought the "crypto wars" to ensure that the public would have the right to strong encryption tools that protect our privacy and security — with no back doors and no intentional weaknesses. We fought in court and in Congress to protect privacy rights and challenge restrictions on encryption, and to make sure the public could use encryption to protect itself. In a 1999 decision in the EFF-led Bernstein case, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals observed that
[w]hether we are surveilled by our government, by criminals, or by our neighbors, it is fair to say that never has our ability to shield our affairs from prying eyes been at such a low ebb. The availability and use of secure encryption may offer an opportunity to reclaim some portion of the privacy we have lost. Government efforts to control encryption thus may well implicate not only the First Amendment rights of cryptographers intent on pushing the boundaries of their science, but also the constitutional rights of each of us as potential recipients of encryption's bounty.
For a decade, the government backed off of attempts to force encryption developers to weaken their products and include back doors, and the crypto wars seemed to have been won. (Indeed,journalist Steven Levy declared victory for the civil libertarian side in 2001.) In the past ten years, even as the U.S. government has sought (or simply taken) vastly expanded surveillance powers, it never attempted to ban the development and use of secure encryption.
Now the government is again proposing to do so, following in the footsteps of regimes like the United Arab Emirates that have recently said some privacy tools are too secure and must be kept out of civilian hands.
As the Internet security community explained years ago, intentionally weakening security and including back doors is a recipe for disaster. "Lawful intercept" systems built under current laws have already been abused for unlawful spying by governments and criminals. Trying to force technology developers to include back doors is a recipe for disaster for our already-fragile on-line security and privacy. And like the COICA Internet censorship bill, it takes a page from the world's most repressive regimes' Internet-control playbook. This is exactly the wrong message for the U.S. government to be sending to the rest of the world.
The crypto wars are back in full force, and it's time for everyone who cares about privacy to stand up and defend it: no back doors and no bans on the tools that protect our communications.

IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD, USING YOUR CELL PHONE TO TYPE YOUR GROCERY LIST WILL NOW BE A PIECE OF ENCRYPTED ELECTRONIC INFORMATION, THAT WILL BE HOUSED IN A HUGE GOVERNMENT DATA ENCRYPTION WAREHOUSE, VERY AKIN TO AN AREA 51:

PUSHED UNDER THE PATRIOT ACT RENEWAL, THE MOST-WELL INTENTIONED PLAN AGAINST TERRORISM THAT SIMULTANEOUSLY STRIPS AMERICANS OF ALL OF THEIR IMPLIED FREEDOMS UNDER THE CONSTITUTION:
(HENCE ALL BASIC DRUG VIOLATIONS ARE TREATED AS A TERRORISTIC ACT; FOR EXAMPLE, POSSESSION OF METHAMPHETAMINE/DISTRIBUTION CARRIES A 30 YR. PRISON SENTENCE, AND AT 3 FOR 1, 4 months x 30 = 120 months/12 = 10 years to the door prison sentence....
Title VIII: Terrorism criminal law

Main article: USA PATRIOT Act, Title VIII
Title VIII alters the definitions of terrorism, and establishes or re-defines rules with which to deal with it. It redefined the term "domestic terrorism" to broadly include mass destruction as well as assassination or kidnapping as a terrorist activity. The definition also encompasses activities that are "dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State" and are intended to "intimidate or coerce a civilian population," "influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion," or are undertaken "to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping" while in the jurisdiction of the United States.[129] Terrorism is also included in the definition of racketeering.[130] Terms relating to cyber-terrorism are also redefined, including the term "protected computer," "damage," "conviction," "person," and "loss."[131]
New penalties were created to convict those who attack mass transportation systems. If the offender committed such an attack while no passenger was on board, they are fined and imprisoned for a maximum of 20 years. However, if the activity was undertaken while the mass transportation vehicle or ferry was carrying a passenger at the time of the offense, or the offense resulted in the death of any person, then the punishment is a fine and life imprisonment.[132] The title amends the biological weapons statute to define the use of a biological agent, toxin, or delivery system as a weapon, other than when it is used for "prophylactic, protective, bona fide research, or other peaceful purposes." Penalties for anyone who cannot prove reasonably that they are using a biological agent, toxin or delivery system for these purposes are 10 years imprisonment, a fine or both.[133]
A number of measures were introduced in an attempt to prevent and penalize activities that are deemed to support terrorism. It was made a crime to harbor or conceal terrorists, and those who do are subject to a fine or imprisonment of up to 10 years, or both.[134] U.S. forfeiture law was also amended to allow authorities to seize all foreign and domestic assets from any group or individual that is caught planning to commit acts of terrorism against the U.S. or U.S. citizens. Assets may also be seized if they have been acquired or maintained by an individual or organization for the purposes of further terrorist activities.[135] One section of the Act (section 805) prohibited "material support" for terrorists, and in particular included "expert advice or assistance."[136] This was struck down as unconstitutional by a U.S. Federal Court after theHumanitarian Law Project filed a civil action against the U.S. government. The court found that it violated the First and Fifth Amendments to the United States Constitution and the provision was so vague it would cause a person of average intelligence to have to guess whether they were breaking the law, thus leading to a potential situation where a person was charged for an offense that they had no way of knowing was illegal. The court found that this could potentially have the effect of allowing arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement of the law, as well as possible chilling effects on First Amendment rights.[137][138] Congress later improved the law by defining the definitions of the "material support or resources," "training," and "expert advise or resources."[139]
Cyberterrorism was dealt with in various ways. Penalties apply to those who either damage or gain unauthorized access to a protected computer and then commit a number of offenses. These offenses include causing a person to lose an aggregate amount greater than US$5,000, as well as adversely affecting someone's medical examination, diagnosis or treatment. It also encompasses actions that cause a person to be injured, a threat to public health or safety, or damage to a governmental computer that is used as a tool to administer justice, national defense or national security. Also prohibited was extortion undertaken via a protected computer. The penalty for attempting to damage protected computers through the use of viruses or other software mechanism was set to imprisonment for up to 10 years, while the penalty for unauthorized access and subsequent damage to a protected computer was increased to more than five years imprisonment. However, should the offense occur a second time, the penalty increases up to 20 years imprisonment.[140] The act also specified the development and support of cybersecurity forensic capabilities. It directs the Attorney General to establish regional computer forensic laboratories that have the capability of performing forensic examinations of intercepted computer evidence relating to criminal activity and cyberterrorism, and that have the capability of training and educating Federal, State, and local law enforcement personnel and prosecutors in computer crime, and to "facilitate and promote the sharing of Federal law enforcement expertise and information about the investigation, analysis, and prosecution of computer-related crime with State and local law enforcement personnel and prosecutors, including the use of multijurisdictional task forces." The sum of $50,000,000 was authorized for establishing such labs.[141]
[edit]Title IX: Improved Intelligence
Main article: USA PATRIOT Act, Title IX
Title IX amends the National Security Act of 1947 to require the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) to establish requirements and priorities for foreign intelligence collected under FISA and to provide assistance to the United States Attorney General to ensure that information derived from electronic surveillance or physical searches is disseminated for efficient and effective foreign intelligence purposes.[142] With the exception of information that might jeopardize an ongoing law enforcement investigation, it was made a requirement that the Attorney General, or the head of any other department or agency of the Federal Government with law enforcement responsibilities, disclose to the Director any foreign intelligence acquired by the U.S. Department of Justice. The Attorney General and Director of Central Intelligence were directed to develop procedures for the Attorney General to follow in order to inform the Director, in a timely manner, of any intention of investigating criminal activity of a foreign intelligence source or potential foreign intelligence source based on the intelligence tip-off of a member of the intelligence community. The Attorney General was also directed to develop procedures on how to best administer these matters.[143] International terrorist activities were made to fall within the scope of foreign intelligence under the National Security Act.[144]
A number of reports were commissioned relating to various intelligence-related government centers. One was commissioned into the best way of setting up the National Virtual Translation Center, with the goal of developing automated translation facilities to assist with the timely and accurate translation of foreign intelligence information for elements of the U.S. intelligence community.[145] The USA PATRIOT Act required this to be provided on February 1, 2002, however the report, entitled "Director of Central Intelligence Report on the National Virtual Translation Center: A Concept Plan to Enhance the Intelligence Community's Foreign Language Capabilities, April 29, 2002" was received more than two months late, which the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence reported was "a delay which, in addition to contravening the explicit words of the statute, deprived the Committee of timely and valuable input into its efforts to craft this legislation."[146] Another report was commissioned on the feasibility and desirability of reconfiguring the Foreign Terrorist Asset Tracking Center and the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury.[147] It was due by February 1, 2002 however, it was never written. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence later complained that "[t]he Director of Central Intelligence and the Secretary of the Treasury failed to provide a report, this time in direct contravention of a section of the USA PATRIOT Act" and they further directed "that the statutorily-directed report be completed immediately, and that it should include a section describing the circumstances which led to the Director's failure to comply with lawful reporting requirements."[148]
Other measures allowed certain reports on intelligence and intelligence-related matters to be deferred until either February 1, 2002 or a date after February 1, 2002 if the official involved certified that preparation and submission on February 1, 2002, would impede the work of officers or employees engaged in counterterrorism activities. Any such deferral required congressional notification before it was authorized.[149] The Attorney General was charged with training officials in identifying and utilizing foreign intelligence information properly in the course of their duties. The government officials include those in the Federal Government who do not normally encounter or disseminate foreign intelligence in the performance of their duties, and State and local government officials who encounter, or potentially may encounter in the course of a terrorist event, foreign intelligence in the performance of their duties.[150] A sense of Congress was expressed that officers and employees of the intelligence community should be encouraged to make every effort to establish and maintain intelligence relationships with any person, entity, or group while they conduct lawful intelligence activities.[144]
[edit]Title X: Miscellaneous
Main article: USA PATRIOT Act, Title X
Title X created or altered a number of miscellaneous laws that did not really fit into the any other section of the USA PATRIOT Act. Hazmat licenses were limited to drivers who pass background checks and who can demonstrate they can handle the materials.[151] The Inspector General of the Department of Justice was directed to appoint an official to monitor, review and report back to Congress all allegations of civil rights abuses against the DoJ.[152] It amended the definition of "electronic surveillance" to exclude the interception of communications done through or from a protected computer where the owner allows the interception, or is lawfully involved in an investigation.[153] Money laundering cases may now be brought in the district the money laundering was committed or where a money laundering transfer started from.[154] Aliens who committed money laundering were also prohibited from entering the U.S.[155] Grants were provided to first responders to assist them with responding to and preventing terrorism.[156] US$5,000,000 was authorized to be provided to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to train police in South and East Asia.[157] The Attorney General was directed to commission a study on the feasibility of using biometric identifiers to identify people as they attempt to enter the United States, and which would be connected to the FBI's database to flag suspected criminals.[158] Another study was also commissioned to determine the feasibility of providing airlines names of suspected terrorists before they boarded flights.[159] The Department of Defense was given temporary authority to use their funding for private contracts for security purposes.[160] The last title also created a new Act called the Crimes Against Charitable Americans Act[161] which amended the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act to require telemarketers who call on behalf of charities to disclose the purpose and other information, including the name and mailing address of the charity the telemarketer is representing.[162] It also increased the penalties from one year imprisonment to five years imprisonment for those committing fraud by impersonating a Red Cross member.[163]
[edit]Reauthorizations
The USA PATRIOT Act was reauthorized by two bills. The first, the USA PATRIOT and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2005, was passed by both houses of Congress in July 2005. This bill reauthorized provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. It created new provisions relating to the death penalty for terrorists,[164] enhancing security atseaports,[165] new measures to combat the financing of terrorism,[166] new powers for the Secret Service,[167] anti-Methamphetamine initiatives[168] and a number of other miscellaneous provisions. The second reauthorization act, the USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act of 2006, amended the first and was passed in February 2006.
The first act reauthorized all but two of the provisions of Title II that would have expired. Two sections were changed to sunset on December 31, 2009: section 206 — the roving wiretap provision — and section 215, which allowed access to business records under FISA. Section 215 was amended further regardless so as to give greater judicial oversight and review. Such orders were also restricted to be authorized by only the FBI Director, the FBI Deputy Director, or the Executive Assistant Director for National Security, and minimization procedures were specified to limit the dissemination and collection of such information. Section 215 also had a "gag" provision, which was changed to allow the defendant to contact their Attorney.[169] However, the change also meant that the defendant was also made to tell the FBI who they were disclosing the order to — this requirement was removed by the USA PATRIOT Act Additional Reauthorizing Amendments Act.[170]
President Barack Hussein Obama on Saturday, February 27th 2010, signed into law legislation that would temporarily extend for one year, three controversial provisions of the Patriot Act that had been set to expire.[171] [172] [173]
The three sections that will remain in law are: -Authorize court-approved roving wiretaps that permit surveillance on multiple phones. -Allow court-approved seizure of records and property in anti-terrorism operations. -Permit surveillance against a so-called lone wolf, a non-U.S. citizen engaged in terrorism who may not be part of a recognized terrorist group. [174]
As NSL provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act had been struck by the courts[120] the reauthorization Act amended the law in an attempt to make them lawful. It provided for judicial review and the legal right of a recipient to challenge the validity of the letter. The reauthorization act still allowed NSLs to be closed and all evidence to be presented in camera and ex parte.[175] Gag provisions were maintained, but were not automatic. They only occurred when the Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI or a Special Agent in Charge in a Bureau field office certified that disclosure would result in "a danger to the national security of the United States, interference with a criminal, counterterrorism, or counterintelligence investigation, interference with diplomatic relations, or danger to the life or physical safety of any person".[176] However, should there be no non-disclosure order, the defendant can disclose the fact of the NSL to anyone who can render them assistance in carrying out the letter, or to an attorney for legal advice. Again, however, the recipient was ordered to inform the FBI of such a disclosure.[176] Because of the concern over the chilling effects of such a requirement, the Additional Reauthorization Amendments Act removed the requirement to inform the FBI that the recipient spoke about the NSL to their Attorney.[177] Later, the Additional Reauthorization Amendments Act excluded libraries from receiving NSLs, except where they provide electronic communications services.[178] The reauthorization Act also ordered the Attorney General submit a report semi-annually to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, the House and Senate Intelligence Committees and the House Committee on Financial Services and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs on all NSL request made under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.[179]
Changes were made to the roving wiretap provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act. Applications and orders for such wiretaps must describe the specific target of the electronic surveillance if the identity of the target is not known. If the nature and location of each of the facilities or places targeted for surveillance is not known, then after 10 days the agency must provide notice to the court. The notice must include the nature and location of each new facility or place at which the electronic surveillance was directed. It must also describe the facts and circumstances relied upon by the applicant to justify the applicant's belief that each new surveillance place or facility under surveillance is or was being used by the target of the surveillance. The applicant must also provide a statement detailing any proposed minimization procedures that differ from those contained in the original application or order, that may be necessitated by a change in the facility or place at which the electronic surveillance is directed. Applicants must detail the total number of electronic surveillances that have been or are being conducted under the authority of the order.[180]
Section 213 of the USA PATRIOT Act was modified. Previously it stated that delayed notifications would be made to recipients of "sneak and peek" searches in a "reasonable period". This was seen as unreasonable, as it was undefined and could potentially be used indefinitely. Thus, the reauthorization act changed this to a period not exceeding 30 days after the date of the execution of the search warrant. Courts were given the opportunity to extend this period if they were provided good cause to do so. Section 213 states that delayed notifications could be issued if there is "reasonable cause to believe that providing immediate notification of the execution of the warrant may have an adverse result". This was criticized, particularly by the ACLU, for allowing potential abuse by law enforcement agencies[181] and was later amended to prevent a delayed notification "if the adverse results consist only of unduly delaying a trial."[182]
The reauthorization act also legislates increased congressional oversight for emergency disclosures by communication providers undertaken under section 212 of the USA PATRIOT Act.[183] The duration of FISA surveillance and physical search orders were increased. Surveillance performed against "lone wolf terrorists" under section 207 of the USA PATRIOT Act were increased to 120 days for an initial order, while pen registers and trap and trace device extensions under FISA were increased from 90 days to a year. The reauthorization act also increased congressional oversight, requiring a semi-annual report into physical searches and the use of pen registers and trap and trace devices under FISA.[184] The "lone wolf terrorist" provision (Section 207) was a sunset provision that also was to have expired, however this was enhanced by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. The reauthorization act extended the expiration date to December 31, 2009.[185] The amendment to material support law done in the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act[139] was also made permanent.[186] The definition of terrorism was further expanded to include receiving military-type training from a foreign terrorist organization andnarcoterrorism.[187] Other provisions of the reauthorization act was to merge the law outlawing train wrecking (18 U.S.C. § 992) and the law outlawing attacks on mass transportation systems (18 U.S.C. § 1993) into a new section of Title 18 of the U.S. Code (18 U.S.C. § 1992) and also to criminalize the act of planning a terrorist attack against a mass transport system.[188][189] Forfeiture law was further changed and now assets within U.S. jurisdiction will be seized for illegally trafficking in nuclear, chemical, biological or radiological weapons technology or material, if such offense is punishable under foreign law bydeath or imprisonment for a term exceeding one year. Alternatively, this applies if similar punishment would be so punishable if committed within the U.S.[190] A sense of Congress was further expressed that victims of terrorism should be entitled to the forfeited assets of terrorists.[191]

by Charlie SavageWASHINGTON — Federal law enforcement and national security officials are preparing to seek sweeping new regulations for the Internet, arguing that their ability to wiretap criminal and terrorism suspects is “going dark” as people increasingly communicate online instead of by telephone.
Essentially, officials want Congress to require all services that enable communications — including encrypted e-mail transmitters like BlackBerry, social networking Web sites likeFacebook and software that allows direct “peer to peer” messaging like Skype — to be technically capable of complying if served with a wiretap order. The mandate would include being able to intercept and unscramble encrypted messages.The bill, which the Obama administration plans to submit to lawmakers next year, raises fresh questions about how to balance security needs with protecting privacy and fostering innovation. And because security services around the world face the same problem, it could set an example that is copied globally.
James X. Dempsey, vice president of the Center for Democracy and Technology, an Internet policy group, said the proposal had “huge implications” and challenged “fundamental elements of the Internet revolution” — including its decentralized design.
“They are really asking for the authority to redesign services that take advantage of the unique, and now pervasive, architecture of the Internet,” he said. “They basically want to turn back the clock and make Internet services function the way that the telephone system used to function.”
But law enforcement officials contend that imposing such a mandate is reasonable and necessary to prevent the erosion of their investigative powers.

NSA Creating “Big Brother” Spy System to Monitor Domestic Infrastructure

via: Raw Story
by Daniel TencerThe National Security Agency has begun work on an “expansive” spy system that will monitor critical infrastructure inside the United States for cyber-attacks, in a move that detractors say could end up violating privacy rights and expanding the NSA’s domestic spying abilities.
The Wall Street Journal cites unnamed sources as saying that the NSA has issued a $100-million contract to defense contractor Raytheon to build a system dubbed “Perfect Citizen,” which will involve placing “sensors” at critical points in the computer networks of private and public organizations that run infrastructure, organizations such as nuclear power plants and electric grid operators.
In an email obtained by the Journal, an unnamed Raytheon employee describes the system as “Big Brother.”
“The overall purpose of the [program] is our Government…feel[s] that they need to insure the Public Sector is doing all they can to secure Infrastructure critical to our National Security,” the email states. “Perfect Citizen is Big Brother.”
“Raytheon declined to comment on this email,” the Journal reports.
Some officials familiar with Perfect Citizen see it “as an intrusion by the NSA into domestic affairs, while others say it is an important program to combat an emerging security threat that only the NSA is equipped to provide,” the Journal states.
The program is reportedly being funded under the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, a program launched by the Bush administration in January, 2008, and continued under the Obama administration. The initiative is budgeted tocost $40 billion over several years.
ANOTHER WAR WITHOUT DEFINITION?
News of the spy system comes in the wake of months of news reports and government statements on the the threat of cyber-attacks. Last year, the US pointed the finger of blame at North Korea for a “widespread” attack on US and South Korean government computers. Earlier this year, a coordinated attack on Google servers was identified as originating from China.

Obama Administration Takes an Even Harder Line Against Leaks to Press

by Scott ShaneWASHINGTON — Hired in 2001 by the National Security Agency to help it catch up with the e-mail and cellphone revolution, Thomas A. Drake became convinced that the government’s eavesdroppers were squandering hundreds of millions of dollars on failed programs while ignoring a promising alternative.
He took his concerns everywhere inside the secret world: to his bosses, to the agency’s inspector general, to the Defense Department’s inspector general and to the Congressional intelligence committees. But he felt his message was not getting through.
So he contacted a reporter for The Baltimore Sun.
Today, because of that decision, Mr. Drake, 53, a veteran intelligence bureaucrat who collected early computers, faces years in prison on 10 felony charges involving the mishandling of classified information and obstruction of justice.
The indictment of Mr. Drake was the latest evidence that the Obama administration is proving more aggressive than the Bush administration in seeking to punish unauthorized leaks.
In 17 months in office, President Obama has already outdone every previous president in pursuing leak prosecutions. His administration has taken actions that might have provoked sharp political criticism for his predecessor, George W. Bush, who was often in public fights with the press.
Mr. Drake was charged in April; in May, an F.B.I. translator was sentenced to 20 months in prison for providing classified documents to a blogger; this week, the Pentagon confirmed the arrest of a 22-year-old Army intelligence analyst suspected of passing a classified video of an American military helicopter shooting Baghdad civilians to the Web site Wikileaks.org.

Federal Judge: Bush Broke Law on Wiretapping

by Bob EgelkoSAN FRANCISCO — The Bush administration wiretapped a U.S.-based Islamic charity under an illegal surveillance program that was not authorized by Congress or the courts, a federal judge in San Francisco ruled today.
The ruling by Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker marked the first time that a court has found that the government illegally wiretapped an individual or organization since President George W. Bush authorized warrantless wiretapping of suspected foreign terrorists in 2001.
The government inadvertently sent a classified document in 2004 to the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation, reportedly showing that two of its lawyers had been wiretapped. Several months after the surveillance began, the government classified Al-Haramain as a terrorist organization, a description its leaders called false.
The now-defunct charity, which was headquartered in Oregon, returned the document at the government’s request and could not use it as evidence in a lawsuit it filed over the wiretapping. But Walker said today that Al-Haramain had established, through public statements by officials and nonclassified evidence, that the government had intercepted its calls without obtaining the court warrant required by a 1978 law.
Bush acknowledged in December 2005 that he had ordered the National Security Agency, after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, to intercept phone calls and e-mails between Americans and suspected foreign terrorists without a warrant. He claimed the power to override the 1978 law’s requirement of advance court approval for all such surveillance.
Today, Walker said Bush had lacked that authority.

That little lock on your browser window indicating you are communicating securely with your bank or e-mail account may not always mean what you think its means.
Normally when a user visits a secure website, such as Bank of America, Gmail, PayPal or eBay, the browser examines the website’s certificate to verify its authenticity.
At a recent wiretapping convention, however, security researcher Chris Soghoian discovered that a small company was marketing internet spying boxes to the feds. The boxes were designed to intercept those communications — without breaking the encryption — by using forged security certificates, instead of the real ones that websites use to verify secure connections. To use the appliance, the government would need to acquire a forged certificate from any one of more than 100 trusted Certificate Authorities.

FBI Used Faked Terrorism Emergencies to Illegally Obtain Americans’ Phone Records

by Brian KatesThe FBI faked terrorism emergencies to illegally obtain more than 2,000 U.S. telephone records between 2002
and 2006, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
FBI general counsel Valerie Caproni told the Washington Post that the FBI technically violated theElectronic Communications Privacy Act when agents invoked nonexistent emergencies to collect records.
A Justice Department inspector general’s report due out this month is expected to conclude that the FBI frequently violated the law with its emergency requests, bureau officials confirmed.
The maneuver was based on a system used in the FBI’s New York office in the aftermath of Sept. 11 attacks, officials said.
It involved use of an “exigent circumstances letter,” a document that allowed a supervisor to declare an emergency and get the records and then – after the fact – issue a national security letter detailing the terrorism risk.
The required national security letters were sometimes concocted and covered by broadbrush generic phrases like “threats against transportation facilities,” “threats against individuals” and “threats against special events,” internal e-mails show.
Later FBI officials shifted to crafting “blanket” national security letters to authorize all past searches that had not been covered by open cases, the Post reported.
Caproni said called the process a “good-hearted but not well-thought-out” method to speed up collecting data. “We should have stopped those requests from being made that way,” she said, calling the abuse, “a self-inflicted wound.”
FBI officials told The Post that they found that about half of the 4,400 records collected in emergency situations or with after-the-fact approvals were done in technical violation of the law.

by Daniel TencerIn a 2008 academic paper, President Barack Obama’s appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs advocated “cognitive infiltration” of groups that advocate “conspiracy theories” like the ones surrounding 9/11.
Cass Sunstein, a Harvard law professor, co-wrote an academic article entitled “Conspiracy Theories: Causes and Cures,” in which he argued that the government should stealthily infiltrate groups that pose alternative theories on historical events via “chat rooms, online social networks, or even real-space groups and attempt to undermine” those groups.
As head of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Sunstein is in charge of “overseeing policies relating to privacy, information quality, and statistical programs,”according to the White House Web site.
Sunstein’s article, published in the Journal of Political Philosphy in 2008 and recently uncoveredby blogger Marc Estrin, states that “our primary claim is that conspiracy theories typically stem not from irrationality or mental illness of any kind but from a ‘crippled epistemology,’ in the form of a sharply limited number of (relevant) informational sources.”
By “crippled epistemology” Sunstein means that people who believe in conspiracy theories have a limited number of sources of information that they trust. Therefore, Sunstein argued in the article, it would not work to simply refute the conspiracy theories in public — the very sources that conspiracy theorists believe would have to be infiltrated.

Obama Looks Like Bush Invoking “State Secrets” Privilege in NSA Case

by Michael IsikoffWhen Attorney General Eric Holder invoked the “state secrets” privilege to quash a lawsuit alleging illegal National Security Agency spying last Friday night, his department’s lawyers sounded a lot like those who worked for President George W. Bush. In fact, they justified the action by filing an affidavit from President Obama’s director of national intelligence that is nearly identical to one filed by President Bush’s intelligence director two years ago.
The strikingly similar affidavit—making the same arguments in the almost exactly the same language—is among the strongest examples yet of how Obama administration officials are adopting Bush-era secrecy positions in major national security cases.
Holder’s move came in the case of Shubert v. Obama, a lawsuit filed in 2006 by four residents of Brooklyn, New York. They allege that their overseas phone calls were illegally intercepted by the NSA as part of a massive “dragnet” of warrantless surveillance ordered by Bush after the Sept. 11 attacks.
“It is my judgment that sensitive state secrets are so central to the subject matter of the litigation that any attempt to proceed in the case will…risk exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States,” national intelligence director Dennis Blair wrote in an affidavit submitted by Justice Department lawyers on Oct. 30. If that language sounded familiar to the court, it’s because it was: “It is my judgment that sensitive state secrets are so central to the subject matter of the litigation that any attempt to proceed in the case will…risk exceptionally grave damage to the national security of the United States,” wrote J. Michael McConnell, Bush’s intel chief, in an affidavit filed on May 25, 2007, in the same case.
“This is Bush 2. It’s Bush the sequel,” said Ilann Maazel, the lawyer for the Shubert plaintiffs, after reading the Justice Department’s motion and the accompanying affidavit by Blair. “They [the Obama officials] are saying the same thing: ‘Were not going to tell you what our spying program is—and even if it’s illegal, you can’t stop it.’” Asked for comment, Wendy Morigi, a spokeswoman for Blair, said: “Given that the plaintiffs allegations have not changed since the privilege was asserted two years ago, it is not surprising that the declarations are very similar.”
The McConnell affidavit had originally been filed when the Justice Department (then headed by attorney general Alberto Gonzales) first invoked state secrets in the Shubert case, arguing there was no way any aspect of the lawsuit could be litigated without jeopardizing national security. But last spring, a federal judge in San Francisco invited the Justice Department to revisit its position. He did so after a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected as overly broad a similar government claim of state secrets in another lawsuit. That case, known as Mohammed v. Jeppesen Dataplan, was filed by former detainees against a Boeing subsidiary that allegedly participated in the CIA’s “extraordinary rendition” of terror suspects to foreign countries that practice torture. In essence, the appellate court concluded that if the Justice Department wanted to invoke state secrets to prevent matters from being heard by a federal court, it must do so regarding specific pieces of evidence only—and could not use the state secrets privilege as a blanket claim to quash the entire lawsuit before it even gets off the ground.
But despite a new policy, announced just last month, that was supposed to limit the use of the state secrets privilege, Holder (after what he called “a careful and thorough review process”) chose to stick with the same position as that taken by the Bush administration.What’s more, the Justice Department didn’t even bother changing the language of many of its arguments.

NSA Supercenters to Store Your Unconstitutionally Gained Private Data Permanently

by Thomas R. EddleThe National Security Agency is building huge new storage facilities to store the unconstitutionally gained data on the American people’s telephone calls and Internet traffic permanently, including new buildings in suburban Salt Lake City, Utah, and San Antonio, Texas.
The NSA has been keeping permanent records of all American’s telephone call habits and Internet traffic since shortly after September 11, 2001, according to major news reports, without the constitutionally required warrants from a court.
No longer able to store all the intercepted phone calls and e-mail in its Ft. Meade, Maryland, headquarters, the NSA is engaging in its own housing boom. How much data will these giant, multibillion dollar new facilities hold? According to James Bamford of the New York Review of Books, the facility in Utah alone could hold data that will be measured in Yottabytes. Never heard of Yottabytes? You’re not alone. Most computers sold at stores still measure their storage at gigabytes, or billions of bits of data. A few store a terrabyte of information, or one trillion bits of information. That’s 1,000,000,000,000 pieces of information. Yottabytes is the highest number that has yet been named in computer information. The number is septillions of billions of bits of data, or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bits of data.
In his review of Matthew M. Aid’s new book on the NSA, The Secret Sentry: The Untold History of the National Security Agency, Bamford noted that the NSA assault on the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment has taken place without public opposition or even public debate. “Unlike the British government, which, to its great credit, allowed public debate on the idea of a central data bank,” Bamford wrote, “the NSA obtained the full cooperation of much of the American telecom industry in utmost secrecy after September 11.” And when the British government held that debate, the people rose up against such a “big brother”-style plan:
When the plans were released by the UK government, there was an immediate outcry from both the press and the public, leading to the scrapping of the “big brother database,” as it was called. In its place, however, the government came up with a new plan. Instead of one vast, centralized database, the telecom companies and Internet service providers would be required to maintain records of all details about people’s phone, e-mail, and Web-browsing habits for a year and to permit the government access to them when asked. That has led again to public anger and to a protest by the London Internet Exchange, which represents more than 330 telecommunications firms.
Not so in America, where economically challenged communities are welcoming the multibillion dollar construction work to create the facilities. Freedom can be traded for temporary prosperity, according to local officials in Utah, as reported by a news segment on KSL, Salt Lake City’s NBC affiliate.

WikiLeaks dump threatens national security

Releasing confidential documents only promotes increased secrecy

Just in time for the holidays, WikiLeaks has reappeared with another dump. This time, instead of focusing on documentation about the mismanagement of the Iraq and Afghan wars, it released 250,000 classified State Department documents and correspondence. The documents include secret talks within the State Department, candid discussions between U.S. and foreign officials and unflattering assessments of world leaders by American diplomats. The leaks contain not only sensitive information that could be dangerous in the wrong hands, but information that is simply embarrassing to the U.S. government.
WikiLeaks is an organization that takes submissions from anonymous sources around the world about government, military and some corporate issues, analyzes them for authenticity and compiles them into packages that eventually break to major media networks around the world. The goal of WikiLeaks is to promote transparency in government — if a government isn't going to be transparent, then WikiLeaks will give it a hand. This is supposed to force governments to be more transparent in the future. This logic is misguided.
Governments will not simply start offering confidential and sensitive materials for public viewing. In order for diplomacy, military action and governance to be successful, a certain degree of confidentiality is necessary. No government will be able to be as transparent as WikiLeaks hopes. Instead, governments will only tighten the controls they have over their correspondence so these information dumps will be impossible in the future.
WikiLeaks' second problem is the "Boy Who Cried Wolf" phenomenon. WikiLeaks has the potential to do a lot of good in world. It already has. By being able to collect anonymous submissions about the actions of governments, they can release information about illegal and terrible government actions. Can you imagine how helpful WikiLeaks would have been if they had been around during the Holocaust? WikiLeaks has the potential to protect the public from future abuses by making people aware of atrocities and forcing actions against them.
Unfortunately, the State Department cables in no way help the public or increase its security like other leaks do. They do not reveal dangerous or illegal activities, though some of the actions of officials may be shady. Instead, the leaks simply cause unnecessary scandal while endangering national security. By dumping these unnecessary and harmful cables, WikiLeaks is ruining its clout and creating many enemies. This damaged reputation could harm its effectiveness in the future should it leak an actually important secret.
Since the most recent leaks, prominent members of both parties have criticized WikiLeaks It seems like one benefit has come out of this massive dump: Republicans and Democrats can finally agree on something.

I DISAGREE WITH THIS, BY THE WAY: UNFORTUNATELY WITH THE U.S. TELLING SPIES AND INFORMANTS TO COLLECT SUCH PERSONAL INFORMATION AS FINGERPRINTS, IT DOES SEEM THAT WE’RE PINNING INTERNATIONAL CRIME ON PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T COMMITTED IT YET, RATHER THAN PREVENTING WAR OR PROTECTING THE PEACE.

WHAT THREATENS OUR NATIONAL SECURITY MORE THAN WIKILEAKS, IS OUR WEAKENED ECONOMY, AND OUR IGNORANCE TO OBAMA’S AGENDA.

PROPOSITION FOR A REPEAL BILL TO REPLACE H.R. 4872:

2011-01-09T18:13:00.000-08:00

Why is this a jobless recovery with 25 million people out of work? It’s because of uncertainty about the Reconciliation Act of 2010:

PROPOSITION FOR A REPEAL BILL ________ TO REPLACE H.R. 4872:

While Obama is definitely right about the urgency to tackle health reform, (as costs are exorbitantly high and we have no program for the uninsured), if we do not create a program to cover the uninsured or reform health care, we will add another $3 trillion to the deficit! The cost of not reforming health care over the next decade will double, adding half of the current deficit, to the $13 trillion dollar deficit, and if we do nothing about it now, half of the deficit by 2020 is projected to be nothing but health care debt: created by 20 years of unwise Congressional spending and legislation, a whopping $20 trillion dollars in the red!

It is not enough to say to the Federal Reserve to print more money for a bailout when the cost of food and gas are inflated, and since we’re a global economy that enjoys fiat, meaning that the American dollar is the only currency that is backed by the government who can write own notes, and while this is a supreme position of financial power and financial and influence, this also makes us vulnerable to attack from other countries who covet our position and status. Essentially, if you control the value of the American dollar, by buying up gold, property, or investments backed by gold, you have the power to control the global economy, and depending on how much you have, it’s like using reigns on a horse. The more wealth you have, the more you control sectors of society, like strings of puppets. I have seen Obama depicted as Puppet Master, but the true Master of Money is the person who is the wealthiest in gold, American property, and investments. While it is true that Obama has written a lot of blank checks, in 2004 it was estimated that the government has 261,007,000,000 ounces of gold/$2,800 per ounce, so the gold value was $730,819,600,000 with $733,170,953,704 American dollars in circulation, which leaves $730,086,429,046,296, or about $730 trillion dollars in reserve.

If we were to sell off our gold to pay down the deficit, the United States is only then worth around $700 trillion dollars. With our current financial problems and people being unemployed, the government is not collecting any real tax revenue from 25 million people over the past 2-3yrs. Qualified unemployment recipients who receive $800 per month cost the government $20,000,000,000/$20 billion per month, and in one year $240,000,000,000,000/$240 billion, so for 3yrs. of unemployment that comes to an ungodly $720,000,000,000/$720 billion dollars, which by the end of this year will add $1 trillion to the deficit! The government can’t tax it’s own money, or make enough back off of taxes from unemployment checks, as it was a government pay-out to begin with! The government gives out close to $1 trillion and gets back only 1/10. The government is essentially loaning out money that was paid in by taxpayers, getting $100,000,000,000/$100 billion in revenue back for $1 trillion paid out.

Continuing this disastrous trend with unemployment will add to the deficit at nearly the same rate as the health care debt, which would put the projected deficit to then $25 trillion. Within the next 30-50 years, just with unemployment pay-outs and health care costs, the deficit will consume the entire value of gold that backs the U.S. dollar, and we’ll be penniless and gold-less, and we’ll have no capital to loan or be able to loan to other countries! Whoever buys our gold will essentially be buying our debt! Even if we used the tax revenue generated off of unemployment checks, that $100 billion, and bought gold with it, we would only add $35 million and some back, which won’t make but $142 million over the next 12 years to offset trillions of dollars spent on unemployment and health care!

So folks, this is where the rubber meets the road: health care has been so high that people have been having to choose between their health or having a roof over their head, a car to drive, and food in their stomachs. This is the main reason the I.R.S. disagrees with Obama’s wage control plan to levy the taxes to pay for health care, as even the I.R.S. knows that even if you took in more taxes to pay for a new health care program for the uninsured, Obama’s legislation fails to deal with the costs of MEDICARE/MEDICAID rising, along with private sector premiums and out-of-pocket costs, so the money it costs to treat the uninsured being used as tax write-offs for hospitals would only address one kink in the hose, like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound that really needs stitches: there are 25 million unemployed who may or may not return to work, but there are really 3 groups of people who make up the uninsured bracket of society. Illegals make up 12 million, 10 million Americans don’t have any insurance, and the other 25 million will get insurance at another job when they return to work or the ones who remain unemployed will be dropped from COBRA. Those who are insured now pay 8% higher premiums, as the hospitals charge insurance companies a percentage to offset the cost of operation for treating those not insured. Now with higher unemployment, insurance companies have jacked up their rates because of a lower pool for their policy.

The question is, why has universal care not worked for MA? MA is now carrying a deficit, against federal law, as universal care does not cover the cost of disability or address the costs of the aging population. MA’s premiums only went down $230 per year/per person, with much higher taxes, running a deficit, AND they STILL put disability appropriations on the chopping block, though that still didn’t stop their deficit or really improve care, lower premium costs substantially, or even offset medical costs to balance their budget. Universal care just shuffles federal money out around the state, and it fails to deal with the cost issues of elderly care or special needs. Which is why C.B.O. numbers are b.s.!

Keeping all of these things in mind of what we can’t keep doing and what has proven not to work, we can’t just do it Obama’s way to our country’s own undoing! America will meet her demise at Obama’s hand if we blindly follow him like sheep to the slaughter! We are to be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves, and while we’ve got to reform health care and do it N-O-W, even tort reform won’t stop this health care abyss!

As a lobbyist in GA in over the past 8 months, I have conferred with Republicans to give approval to fund H.R. 3200, H.R. 3400, H.R. 1200 (striking the mandate clause), and H.R. 3962 with much revision. I addressed committee members to agree to compromise with health care reform, and I garnered Republican concession to accept passage of 3 Democrats’ bills to their 1 bill, with the condition that H.R. 3590 be tabled until it could be revised to address cost issues effectively. The bill was so bad, it was written by Rangel, and it was determined in committee to be a conflict of interest, and I actually believe that Obama was so jealous that I prompted legislators to support this compromise, that it trumped anything he’d ever done in 10yrs. voting present in the Senate, so he refused to have Pelosi support convening on H.R. 3590, which would’ve gotten the bill thrown out entirely over ethical challenge, and he took it upon himself to write another version of it, H.R. 4872/the Recon. Act of 2010, and they used deem and pass to usurp the will of the American people, as the majority of Americans rejected it, as the majority of Americans rejected insurance mandating, federal funding of abortion, cutting $500 billion from from MEDICARE, and funding Thomson prison to house terrorists with pharmaceutical contracts for generic pills to medicate everyone into compliance, (to get them hooked on pills so they need an insurance contract!) I suggest you read the legislation for yourself, and all you have to do is read the first 150 pgs. of H.R. 4872 to see how the health care law is interpreted and will be applied in conjunction with the other bills, which sucks!

We must repeal H.R. 4872 for those reasons listed above, as those are legitimate concerns that revoke Obama’s promise of insuring the uninsured. None of that legislation pays for itself... where is the money coming from --- a $13 trillion dollar deficit?! Cutting $500 billion from MEDICARE will only make MEDICARE costs skyrocket and appropriate $500 billion divided by 47 million uninsured is like the government paying one $10 copay for a general doctor visit, and that’s it! Plus if abortion funding is not struck, that will cost $3 billion or more per year! I worked on revising this health care legislation for 3 months straight, so much so, I felt my legs were shackled to my parents’ computer desk. I would spend up to 18 hours a day some days on the computer, reading bills over 2,000 pages long, making revisions, and then taking an hour to email the entire Senate and an entire day to email the House of Representatives. I made a promise to investors to protect the stock market from this legislation, I promised business owners who were still left that taxes wouldn’t close down their business in this unprofitable economy, and I promised Obama I would turn over every abortion clinic for misappropriation if an amendment was not passed.

While I became certain we could not reform health care Obama’s way and that the law needs to be repealed before it becomes budgetary law before August 9th, 2010, I see that neither the Dems or Repubs know how to fix the problems that they’ve created and failed to govern judiciously, both sides offering inadequate solutions, with Dems offering the most undesirable solution that they’re forcing everyone to do, though their reckless spending and tripling the deficit in less than 2yrs. has increased the desperation that has made health care reform a 9-1-1 emergency! It’s weird: instead of doing their jobs to govern wisely, they’ve spent all of our tax dollars and then used that as the very reason to tax us more and pass more legislation that will tax us to death! Obama gave out a lot of money, but he didn’t tell you he’d try to recoup it with 4 new taxes on the middle class!

I was sure that repealing the bill would prevent further economic disaster, and selling insurance across state lines would help everyone, but no one had a vision of what the future American health care should look like, until I read “Why Our Health Matters” by Andrew Weil, M.D. In this book, Weil establishes medical standards that come from years of experience in conventional and non-conventional medicine, and a blue print for a system that will work in favor of the health of our nation, with health equaling wealth! It also gives a structural delegation of duties that will accomplish what Obama’s czar disciples can’t do, as a small group overseeing the entire state of the American public health. While Weil’s book was loaded with reliable facts, figures, history, and even structural system reform, it still did not tell how to measurably bring cost down or how to implement technology for our benefit to be cost effective. However, this book inspired me to discuss it with my peers, and while some are still holding out hope for Social Security, I have my own legislation to bring to the table. It’s very simple, I wrote it on half a sheet of paper with a marker, but I guarantee that it’s better than anything Obama, Congress, or the I.R.S. thought of to rectify cost issues. The C.B.O. can estimate that costs may go down some, but the C.B.O. can’t tell us how to get there or how to walk it out; however, I can.

I , Aja Brooks, would like to introduce a bill _______ for a National Health Insurance Plan, outsourced to __________. The purpose of this bill is to provide insurance for the uninsured, in the event their state has no program in their budget, or if they can’t attain MEDICAID or have been rejected by other private sector insurance companies. Monthly insurance premiums will be federally subsidized, as optional health coverage available through selecting an additional withholding on your W-4/corresponding tax forms. A National Health Advisory Council will be in charge of overseeing this program, who will interact with State Insurance Commissioners and ____________ outsourced insurance company. The National Health Advisory Council will not be a government position; doctors will submit a recommendation to a Senate committee nominating 10 most qualified doctors or influential health professionals from their field. The 10 most nominated will be the council. The Council will establish a Constitution to uphold the Hippocratic Oath and establish its own rules for terms of service and rules of operation.

The I.R.S. expansion will remain the same as in H.R. 4872, but the I.R.S. will have 3 new departments: wage division, premium division, and records division. The I.R.S. will do what it does best, collecting and recording accurate monetary and related information, and they will do do so by using the taxpayer ID# as a person’s National Health Insurance number. This way, the I.R.S. will be able to easily assess and collect information having to review and substantiate gazillions of 1099 forms, and without having to harass or hunt people down, the I.R.S. would be the only entity to have access to private medical data through use of the Tax ID number, which will track and compile medical data as soon as we add it for hospitals to submit it for billing/tax purposes.

The I.R.S. will analyze all Tax ID claims, those who have opted-in to National Health Insurance, and track the costs to those under other insurance, and also track the costs of those who refuse health insurance and compile it for an annual report for Congress. Congress could then accurately assess medical costs, with the I.R.S. curtailing fraud, and simplify billing for hospitals for those who can’t pay their bills. The computer system will work for Tax ID number only, to eradicate those who don’t pay taxes/to clearly count taxpayers’ contributions, in order to address illegal immigration as a separate cost issue that amnesty would not rectify. Billing pages will say NO TAX ID NUMBER/employer address for those who are illegal or employer tax ID#.

The I.R.S. and government can’t oversee every minute financial transaction to ensure taxes are being properly reported and not misrepresented, but they can more fairly tax, properly appropriate, and identify fraud easier with improved and accurate TAX-ID data based info. That way, it would be easier to extend tax cuts or credits to those who have large medical bills, and give a stimulus check to those who stay in good health and aren’t abusing their body or the system.

Funding for the new I.R.S. data base Tax ID# health information will cost_________. All health care providers must participate or license to practice will be revoked. Records must be submitted when patient information is taken in for admission or appointment.

Those who receive Social Security checks or unemployment checks have the option to opt-in on their forms by asking for additional withholding. This bill extends coverage to those under-insured, most of the uninsured who receive government checks, and those who are unemployed will be added to their yearly federal income taxes/that will be offset when they become employed and file their W-4 over again.

This bill excludes illegal immigrants, for the National Health Insurance Plan, as they do not possess a TAX ID number unless they are claimed as a dependent under an optional employer withholding for workman’s compensation insurance only, once we can accurately assess medical costs by TAX ID #, then we can effectively determine the costs and amount of medical services used by illegals, as to levy a tax of 3%, or require an ID card where they must pay 10% sales tax. The I.R.S. and ICE will partner to manage those claims filed that have the listing as NO TAX ID NUMBER, and the I.R.S. will determine legal work status and recommend deportation if necessary. If an illegal needs care, they must put their employer’s TAX ID NUMBER on the claim, so that withholding can be investigated by the I.R.S., and if they do not work, the spouse or head of household must disclose the employer’s TAX ID#.

While this bill is just a simple readjustment of how we do things, it may be amended or modified to fit legislative language and action as appropriate.

MEXICO REPEALS POSSESSION LAWS:

2011-01-09T18:06:00.000-08:00

With Mexico doing this, it defines what is legal possession for non-regulated drugs, that were previously illegal. THIS MEANS, it will be much easier to get my two charges repealed or expunged MUCH easier and without the expense of $7,000-$10,000 when the U.S. follows suit. I can't thank you enough for putting up with me for all the stress that I was under. I know you didn't know everything that I was talking about, but it's o.k., I really just needed you to listen to me like you did in the past, this gave me the courage to do a lot of things that I needed to do, rather than operating in fear. I will make sure that I write you a more detailed letter. I've been meaning to get one off to you, and now I know why God had me wait. THIS IS GREAT NEWS for me. Thank you for inspiring me and giving me the courage to walk through those dark times by sharing scripture and writing letters to me... I don't know what I'd have done without you then in my life!! I felt like with what you'd been through in life, that you more than anyone I could turn to and talk to, even if you didn't get it all, I trusted you.

MEXICO CITY – Mexico decriminalized small amounts of marijuana, cocaine and heroin on Friday — a move that prosecutors say makes sense even in the midst of the government's grueling battle against drug traffickers.

Prosecutors said the new law sets clear limits that keep Mexico's corruption-prone police from shaking down casual users and offers addicts free treatment to keep growing domestic drug use in check.

"This is not legalization, this is regulating the issue and giving citizens greater legal certainty," said Bernardo Espino del Castillo of the attorney general's office.

The new law sets out maximum "personal use" amounts for drugs, also including LSD and methamphetamine. People detained with those quantities no longer face criminal prosecution.

Espino del Castillo says, in practice, small users almost never did face charges anyway. Under the previous law, the possession of any amount of drugs was punishable by stiff jail sentences, but there was leeway for addicts caught with smaller amounts.

"We couldn't charge somebody who was in possession of a dose of a drug, there was no way ... because the person would claim they were an addict," he said.

Despite the provisions, police sometimes hauled in suspects and demanded bribes, threatening long jail sentences if people did not pay.

"The bad thing was that it was left up to the discretion of the detective, and it could open the door to corruption or extortion," Espino del Castillo said.

Anyone caught with drug amounts under the new personal-use limit will be encouraged to seek treatment, and for those caught a third time treatment is mandatory.

The maximum amount of marijuana for "personal use" under the new law is 5 grams — the equivalent of about four joints. The limit is a half gram for cocaine, the equivalent of about 4 "lines." For other drugs, the limits are 50 milligrams of heroin, 40 milligrams for methamphetamine and 0.015 milligrams for LSD.

Mexico has emphasized the need to differentiate drug addicts and casual users from the violent traffickers whose turf battles have contributed to the deaths of more than 11,000 people since President Felipe Calderon took office in late 2006.

But one expert saw potential for conflict under the new law.

Javier Oliva, a political scientist at Mexico's National Autonomous University, said the new law posed "a serious contradiction" for the Calderon administration.

"If they decriminalize drugs it could lead the army, which has been given the task of combating this, to say 'What are we doing'?" he said.

Officials said the legal changes could help the government focus more on big-time traffickers.

Espino del Castillo said since Calderon took office, there have been over 15,000 police searches related to small-scale drug dealing or possession, with 95,000 people detained — but only 12 to 15 percent of whom were ever charged with anything.

Officer's defense team demanding Obama docs

'I can't think of a single reason why the judge would take the government's position'

The key defense attorney for an Army officer being put on trial for refusing orders he views as suspect because of the possibility Barack Obama is not eligible to be commander-in-chief is demanding documentation from the president.
On the G. Gordon Liddy radio show today, Paul Rolf Jensen said the request for "discovery" in the Lt. Col. Terrence Lakin case – the access by the defense to documentation in the government's possession that could help its case – is being submitted.
Jensen had been asked whether there is a legal basis for denying a defendant on trial on criminal charges legitimate access to documentation that would prove his case.
There's a new strategy to get answers to Obama's eligibility questions. See how you can help.
"We are today officially requesting that discovery," Jensen said. "If the government refuses to give it to us, then we will, a week from today, file a motion to compel discovery.
"I can't think of a single reason why the judge would take the government's position," he said.
(Story continues below)

The controversy stems from the Constitution, Article 2, Section 1, which states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President."
A number of challenges and lawsuits have been based on the constitutional requirement, some alleging Obama does not qualify because he was not born in Hawaii in 1961 as he claims. Others say he fails to qualify because he was a dual citizen of the U.S. and the United Kingdom when he was born, and the framers of the Constitution specifically excluded dual citizens from eligibility.
Complicating the issue is the fact that besides Obama's actual birth documentation, he has concealed documentation including his kindergarten records, Punahou school records, Occidental College records, Columbia University records, Columbia thesis, Harvard Law School records, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, passport, medical records, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records, baptism records and his adoption records.
Lakin declined to follow deployment orders after he tried through military channels to affirm the validity of orders under Obama's command and was rebuffed. He had been scheduled to deploy to Afghanistan again.

Lakin is not the first officer to raise questions. Others have included Army doctor Capt. Connie Rhodes and Army reservist Maj. Stefan Cook. But Lakin is the first active-duty officer to raise the question.
In at least one of the earlier disputes, the Army simply canceled the orders rather than allow the argument to come to a head.
The issue of discovery in such a dispute is critical. The multitude of civil cases that have been brought over the Obama eligibility dispute all have failed to reach that process because of federal judges who have ruled on issues generally involving "standing." The judges have concluded that damages from an ineligible president suffered by the plaintiffs would not be more for them than any other member of the public, so there is not a specific damage or danger.
Jensen has explained that the Lakin case is different, since his client is being processed on criminal charges over the issue – a status that puts him in imminent danger of specific and personal "damages."
The courts already have shown a weakness on the subject of Obama's records. The discovery-of-evidence issue previously was raised in court byattorney John Hemenway, who was threatened by a federal judge with sanctions for bringing a court challenge to Obama's presidency.
Hemenway is serving in emeritus status with the SafeguardOurConstitution website, which is generating support for Lakin. Hemenway brought a previous court challenge, now on appeal, on behalf of a retired military officer, Gregory S. Hollister, who questioned Obama's eligibility.
The Hollister case ultimately was dismissed by Judge James Robertson, who notably ruled during the 2008 election campaign that the federal legal dispute had been "twittered" and, therefore, resolved.
Robertson sarcastically wrote: "The plaintiff says that he is a retired Air Force colonel who continues to owe fealty to his commander in chief (because he might possibly be recalled to duty) and who is tortured by uncertainty as to whether he would have to obey orders from Barack Obamabecause it has not been proven – to the colonel's satisfaction – that Mr. Obama is a native-born American citizen, qualified under the Constitutionto be president.
"The issue of the president's citizenship was raised, vetted, blogged, texted, twittered and otherwise massaged by America's vigilant citizenry during Mr. Obama's two-year campaign for the presidency, but this plaintiff wants it resolved by a court," Robertson wrote.
Then the judge suggested sanctions against Hemenway for bringing the case. Hemenway responded that the process then would provide him with a right to a discovery hearing to see documentation regarding the judge's statements – not supported by any evidence introduced into the case – that Obama was properly "vetted."
Hemenway warned at the time, "If the court persists in pressing Rule 11 procedures against Hemenway, then Hemenway should be allowed all of the discovery pertinent to the procedures as court precedents have permitted in the past.
"The court has referred to a number of facts outside of the record of this particular case and, therefore, the undersigned is particularly entitled to a hearing to get the truth of those matters into the record. This may require the court to authorize some discovery," Hemenway said.
The court ultimately backed off its threat of sanctions.
In a separate case, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threatened sanctions against attorney Mario Apuzzo. The court quickly backed off, however, when Apuzzo noted that under the rules of court procedure, being subjected to sanctions and penalties would give him the right to discovery in the case, possibly including Obama's birth certificate.
The Constitution requires a president to be a "natural born citizen," and, while the term is not defined in the Constitution, many legal analysts believe at the time it was written it meant a person born in the U.S. of two U.S. citizen parents. Critics say Obama clearly does not qualify under that definition, since he has admitted in his book his father never was a U.S. citizen. Some legal challenges have argued he wasn't even born in Hawaii.
Tim Adams, a former senior elections clerk for Honolulu, has said there "definitely" are problems with Obama's Hawaii birth story.
"As of the time I was in Hawaii working in the elections office we had many people who were asking about the eligibility of Senator Obama to bepresident. I was told at the time there is no long-form birth record, which would have been the case if President Obama was born in [a] hospital in Honolulu. There is no such form in Hawaii," he said.
In today's Liddy interview, Jensen said the government could invoke the "presumption of regularity" in defending Obama's status, but that would be considered a rebuttable presumption in court.
"In order to rebut that presumption, we [would] seek evidence [through discovery] that the president is constitutionally ineligible," he said.
Lakin confirmed during the same interview that he's received "overwhelming support" from many of his peers. But he was counseled by his lawyer not to discuss specifics because of the pending court martial, scheduled for October.
Jensen said it's clear that if the president had the birth documentation that reveals his status as a "natural born citizen," he already would have presented it.
"The president has been invited repeatedly to release his Hawaiian birth certificate. He hasn't done so. Lt. Col. Lakin wrote to the president before refusing orders. If the president were going to do that he would have done so already. [His decision] leads me to suspect he doesn't have [it]," said Jensen.
Lakin said the issue is the U.S. Constitution, and whether it is still controlling in the U.S. or not.
Jensen also addressed the issue of the threats being issued against his client by at least one senior Army officer.
According to the American Patriot Foundation, the threat came while Lakin was appearing for an arraignment just a week ago.
The foundation reported, "The afternoon before the hearing, LTC Steven Brodsky told LTC Lakin's counsel that Lakin must report hours before the hearing to his duty post at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in order for him to be 'transported under escort' to make sure he showed up at the arraignment 'to avoid embarrassing his unit."
The report continued by explaining that Brodsky is a judge advocate and his job is prosecution. "He has no role – or at least should have no role – in deciding the manner in which Lakin relates to his commanders, or vice versa," the foundation report said.
But, it continued, "Outside the courtroom, Brodsky went far beyond interference with Lakin's commanders. While Lakin was waiting near the courtroom, Brodsky and Col. Melanie Craig (Lakin's 'escort') stood around the corner in the main hallway and in voices easily audible to LTC Lakin, spoke about the need to prevent Lakin after the hearing from speaking to the media, 'signing autographs or kissing babies.' Brodsky then said to Craig 'just Taser him and throw him in the van,'" the report said.
WND contacted Brodsky, who refused to say anything, instead referring the inquiry to a public information officer. That officer declined to respond to WND's calls and e-mails asking for comment.
In the foundation report, Lakin said, "LTC Brodsky meant for me to hear those words, no question. When COL Craig returned to where I was, she said to me 'you probably heard all that, didn't you?' I replied it would have been hard not to. After the hearing, my lawyers asked COL Craig for permission for me to speak to the press, since both CNN and NBC had sent camera crews, but she rudely refused, and she ordered me back into her vehicle to be transported back to Walter Reed."
However, probably a more accurate Army opinion of Lakin was described in his commander's assessment just prior to Lakin's refusal to deploy over the issue of Obama's eligibility.
Col. Dale Block wrote, "Dr. Lakin is an extremely talented, highly knowledgeable senior Army clinician…he can always be counted on to provide me with expert advice…LTC Lakin is clearly one of the top clinicians in the Northern Regional Medical Command. He has superb clinical skills, rapport with patients and staff…Terry is the best choice for tough assignments. …Already on the promotion list to Colonel, he should be groomed for positions of greater responsibility."
The foundation suggested that those concerned about the situation should contact Maj. Gen. Carla Hawley-Bowland, and not the judge in the case, since Hawley-Bowland commands Lakin's superiors.
The foundation also suggested reaching Hawley-Bowland by telephone at 202-782-1104.
Lakin had posted a YouTube video challenging the Army to charge him over the issue. The 18-year Army veteran, decorated multiple times, could get up to four years of hard labor in prison and be dismissed from the military.
"The records Lakin seeks have been the subject of intense interest ever since the closing days of the 2008 presidential campaign when a document appeared on the Internet purporting to be a certification that Hawaii's Dept. of Health had records showing he had been born in Honolulu," the foundation supporting Lakin's case confirmed.
"Since then, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, the head of that agency, has made public statements on the subject, but has refused all requests for copies of the actual records in the department's custody. Recently, a former Hawaii elections clerk has come forward saying that he was told that the department's records showed Obama was NOT born in Hawaii," the organization said.
"The United States Constitution requires that a person be a 'natural born citizen' to be elected to the presidency. If Mr. Obama was not born in Honolulu as he has claimed, then he is unlikely to be a 'natural born citizen.' An examination of the records kept by the Hawaii Dept. of Health (is) an essential first step in ascertaining Mr. Obama's constitutional eligibility to hold the office to which he was elected in 2008," the foundation said.
The issue of the Hawaii records has been a volatile point in the argument. The state of Hawaii has gone so far as to approve a law that allows the state to ignore repeated requests for documentation about Obama's birth.
The state's governor, Linda Lingle, just months ago told a New York talk-show host that it was an "odd situation."
"This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it's one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country," she said on the radio show. "So I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi'olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that's just a fact and yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue, and I think it's again a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this."
However, no news release from the state of Hawaii identified the birth location as Kapi'olani. And Lingle's statement also was contradicted by Fukino, who reported, "No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawaii."
Critics also note that while the Obama campaign posted a computer image of a "Certification of Live Birth" online during the 2008 election run-up, the procedures at the time allowed such certifications to be issued on the sworn statement of a relative for a child not born in the state.
The issue of Obama's birth "in Hawaii" also arose after he assumed the Oval Office when a letter was revealed that purported to be from the president claiming Kapi'olani as the place of his birth.
The letter, dated Jan. 24, 2009, was used by the hospital at a fundraiser but later concealed.
A photograph taken by the Kapi'olani Medical Center for WND shows a letter allegedly written by President Obama on embossed White House stationery in which he declares the Honolulu hospital to be "the place of my birth," The hospital, after publicizing the letter then refusing to confirm it even existed, is now vouching for its authenticity, but not its content. The White House has yet to verify any aspect of the letter.

"As a beneficiary of the excellence of the Kapi'olani Medical Center – the place of my birth – I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters," Obama purportedly wrote.
The letter was referenced by then-Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, during the Jan. 24, 2009, hospital dinner. Kapi'olani has said officials "know" the letter is real, but hospital spokeswoman Keala Peters refused to corroborate the content.
As WND reported, Lakin posted the video of his challenge to Obama to document his eligibility March 30.
In his latest video, Lakin said the issue of evidence is important:
Note: A legal-defense fund has been set up for Lt. Col. Terry Lakin.

Berg Says Michelle Obama Celebrated, one last time,
in Spain with her friends and daughter
as She Knows Her Husband, Obama/Soetoro’s, Time
as President is Coming to an End
as he is forced to Quit
as He Will Admit He Was Born in Africa
and Adopted in Indonesia where his
name became “Barry Soetoro”
* * *
(Lafayette Hill, PA – 08/11/2010) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the first Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “Constitutional qualifications” to serve as President of the United States.
Berg said, “Michelle Obama Celebrated, for one last time, in Spain with her daughter and others as she knows that her husband, Obama/Soetoro’s, time as President is coming to an end as he is forced to quit as he will admit he was born in Africa and adopted/acknowledged in Indonesia and therefore, is not Constitutionally eligible to be President.”
Berg’s comments came as the controversy is building since Michelle Obama, her daughter and upwards of 40 friends traveled to Spain for a five [5] day vacation. The issues included spending money overseas when our country is going through economic turmoil; traveling overseas when she could have spent a vacation in the United States where her spending could have helped a local community; staying at a five [5] star hotel with sixty [60] rooms used for her friends, staff and security; and why she would travel overseas after widespread criticism when Michelle, her husband and two [2] children recently travelled to Maine for a four [4] day vacation and not to the Gulf of Mexico area.
Berg continued, “The pressure is building to force Obama/Soetoro to admit that he is an Imposter, a Fraud, a Phony and his tale is the largest ‘Hoax’ in the history of the United States, over 230 years. Actually, the pressure is building because the overwhelming evidence is that Obama/Soetoro was born in Africa and more important is the fact that Obama was adopted/acknowledged by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro, in Indonesia and Obama’s ‘legal’ name became ‘Barry Soetoro’ and there is no evidence that he has legally changed his name and therefore, every time he uses the name of ‘Barack Hussein Obama’ he has and is committing fraud.”
Berg concluded, “I am in the final days of planning for the largest March/Rally in Washington, DC in October 2010 to force Obama/Soetoro to step down from the Office of President, a position he is not Constitutionally eligible to be President as he is an ‘Usurper’ and he has led our country into a Constitutional crisis. When Obama/Soetoro steps down, all of the appointments and programs including ObamaCare will end because all of them are ‘voidable’”.

No Surprise that Attorney General Holder
Will “not” Prosecute “blacks” in Voting Rights Cases
as he has Refused to Prosecute Obama
in this False Claims Act Case
(Lafayette Hill, PA – 08/08/2010) – Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the first Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s lack of “Constitutional qualifications” to serve as President of the United States. The Policy of United States Attorney General Eric Holder not to prosecute “blacks” in voting rights cases should be no surprise as A.G. Holder has refused to prosecute Barack Hussein Obama in the False Claims Act [Qui Tam] case of Berg as Relator vs. Obama.
Berg said, “The United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, his offices and staff, including the Department of Justice have a clear Conflict-of-Interest in any type of prosecution against Obama.”
“This type case is usually utilized in Medicaid and Medicare cases where fraud is alleged. In the case against Obama, I set forth that Obama is not “natural born” or “naturalized” but an “illegal alien” and therefore, his term as a United States Senator from Illinois was fraud and the salary and benefits Obama received must be returned to the United States Treasury, an amount in excess of One [$1] Million Dollars. I base my claim on the fact that Obama was adopted/acknowledged by his step-father, Lolo Soetoro, in Indonesia and Obama’s legal name became “Barry Soetoro.” At age ten [10] when he returned to Hawaii, I allege that he did not go through U.S. Immigration on a U.S. Passport, but did so on his Indonesia Passport, therefore, an “illegal alien.” Also, I allege that “Barry Soetoro” [former Barrack Hussein Obama] has never legally changed his name and therefore, he has committed ongoing fraud by using Barrack Hussein Obama.
“The United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, reports directly to the alleged violator, Soetoro/Obama; gives opinions and legal advice to the alleged violator, Soetoro/Obama; was senior legal advisor to Barack Hussein Obama’s Presidential campaign; and served as one of three [3] members on Obama’s Vice-Presidential Selection Committee and thus a major Conflict-of-Interest existed and still exists with my, Berg’s, False Claim or Qui Tam Case.”
Berg’s False Claims Act [Qui Tam] Case was originally filed in the United States District Court, District of Columbia at the end of 2008. The U.S. District Court Dismissed the Qui Tam Action and failed to respond to the issue of the Conflict-of- Interest. Berg Appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, who on June 30, 2010, upheld the District Court’s ruling and in so doing stated that Berg failed to demonstrate that the Department of Justice and the Attorney General, Eric Holder, have a Conflict-of-Interest. This simply is not the case.
Government employees are required to comply with the Code of Federal Regulations, which clearly spell out the issue of Conflict-of-Interest. Just to name a few, Eric Holder’s placement with Obama through Obama’s campaign are in violation of the Code of Federal Regulations; the fact Eric Holder reports directly to Obama, the violator, spells out a clear Conflict-of-Interest under the Code of Federal Regulations; the fact Eric Holder gives opinions and legal advice to the alleged violator, is a clear Conflict-of-Interest under the Code of Federal Regulations; the fact Eric Holder was the Senior Legal Advisor to Obama’s Presidential campaign violates the Code of Federal Regulations under Conflict-of-Interests; and the fact Eric Holder served as one of three [3] members on Obama’s Vice-Presidential Selection Committee are all clear Conflict-of-Interests in violation of the Code of Federal Regulations.
For this reason, Berg has filed a Petition for Rehearing En Banc with the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. When a case is brought to the United States Appellate Court, the matter or a three-Judge panel hears matters complained of. When you request a rehearing En Banc, you are asking for the majority of active Circuit Judges to rehear the case En Banc.
Many Appellate Courts, who have a large number of Judges and a large caseload, will divide the Cases (Appeals) into divisions or panels for each case. For example, three [3] judge panels usually hear United States Appeals Court cases. There are times however, at the request of the panel, or one of the litigants, the case is later reheard by the full court, or, En Banc. En Banc is a French word that means “the full Court”. When a Petition for a Rehearing En Banc is filed, the party filing the Petition is asking for the Full Court to rehear the matter complained of on Appeal.
Berg said, “If a Conflict-of-Interest does not exist in this case, Berg as Relator vs. Obama, then the words ‘Conflict-of-Interest’ must be removed from the Code of Federal Regulations and from all legal and other dictionaries.”
Berg concluded, “If we are denied a rehearing En Banc, then I will take this Case to the U.S. Supreme Court as the issues presented are far too important not to address.”

AS IF WE HAVEN’T HAD BILLIONS OF TARP, BAILOUTS, AND STIMULUS ADDING $3 TRILLION TO THE DEFICIT, WE NOW HAVE MORE UNFUNDED “DEFICIT SPENDING”!!
I HATE OBAMANOMICS: OBAMA'S GIVEN THIS AXE TO GRIND, SIGNS THAT THE SUMMER OF RECOVERY WAS NOTHING BUT SMOOTHING OUT THE STOCK MARKET AND STIMULUS HOG WASH: having a full-time job for bills doesn't exist as business owners don't have the money to train new workers to computers/job skills BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS COMING IN AND NO PROFIT IN 3 YEARS, and you're having to give up your own dream and having a small business for the same reason !!!

SIGNS OF THE GA RECESSION: you have a job that only pays your taxes, you have to get another part-time job to eat, and having a full-time job for bills doesn't exist because business owners don't have the money to train new workers to computers/job skills !!
RELATIONSHIPS ARE COMPLICATED BY THE RECESSION: How many people have had to postpone engagements, marriage, or even a serious relationship to an exclusive dating status because both people are so strapped, they can't afford a life together??

ANOTHER SLUSH FUND CREATED WITH YOUR MONEY

Just last week the Obama administration signed another bailout into law. It was a $26 billion bailout, with $10 billion supposedly saving teacher's jobs that were never on the chopping block. Out of that $10 billion, about $40 million will go directly to the teacher's unions - just in time for the elections. Much of this money was "paid for" by dipping into the funding for food stamps - ironic since they always accuse us of wanting to "starve the children."

The corrupt Big Government politicians aren't done yet.

Now they want to cut** another $8 billion from the food stamps fund to pay for a child nutrition bill that is at the center of Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" Initiative. The First Lady's initiative is a massive financial boon to the SEIU (again, just in time for the November elections...). It creates goodies like a "Food Service Management Institute" and "an open-ended green cafeterias pilot program" through a reauthorization of legislation from Lyndon Johnson's Big Government agenda.

There are 400,000 workers who prepare and serve lunch to kids in the US and the SEIU represents tens of thousands of them. They now want to use this money to hire and unionize more employees by creating year-round breakfasts, lunches,and dinners for kids as well as beefing up their pay and benefits packages, all paid for by us. Whatever happened to parents making sure their kids are fed??

Big Labor already has a lot of money, and now because of these two new bills, they'll have tens of millions more to use for November. Tea Party Patriots is fighting hard to stop the spending and to stop the runaway growth of government, including public employees and their unions, but we can't do it without you.

If you believe that we should fight back against these slush funds for the Left's favorite special interests; if you believe that our Republic is threatened by the absolute corruption and collusion that occurs between politicians and Big Labor unions, then please consider donating to Tea Party Patriots. Any donation, small or large, will help us stand up against groups like the SEIU.

Owning Up to President Obama’s Economy … Where Are The Jobs?
Posted by Kevin Smith on August 12, 2010
Last year President Obama took ownership of the economy – “Give it to me,” he famously said – but more than a year later Americans continue to ask one key question: Where are the jobs? If the President owns the economy like he says, why does he and other Democrats continue their feeble attempts to pin blame on the previous Administration and shift attention away from their broken promises on the economy?
For example, on Monday the President said: “The policies that crashed the economy, that undercut the middle class, that mortgaged our future, do we really want to go back to that, or do we keep moving our country forward?” And last week, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said: “We are not going back to the failed Bush policies that left us with deep deficits, a deep recession, and the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.”
But a recent Fox News/Opinion Dynamics survey has some bad news for Washington Democrats:
“Fully 76 percent of voters think it is time for the Obama Administration to start taking responsibility for the condition of the economy. That's more than four times as many as think it is right to continue to place the blame on Bush (18 percent).”
Last week we found out that the U.S. economy lost another 131,000 jobs in July and the unemployment rate remained at 9.5 percent despite Obama Administration projections from its departing chief economist Christina Romer that the trillion-dollar ‘stimulus’ would keep unemployment below eight percent. When will Democrats finally understand that imposing job-killing tax hikes and continuing their massive spending spree is making matters worse, not better? Here are just a few examples over the last 24 hours of what President Obama’s economy really means:
New Claims for Unemployment Benefits Rise to Highest Level in Six Months: “New applications for unemployment insurance rose last week to their highest level in almost six months, the latest evidence that some employers are still cutting their staffs. First-time claims for jobless benefits edged up by 2,000 to a seasonally adjusted 484,000, the Labor Department said Thursday … Initial claims have now risen in three of the last four weeks and are close to their high point for the year of 490,000, reached in late January.” (Associated Press, 8/12/10)
July Budget Shortfall Puts U.S. on Pace for Record Deficit: “The U.S. government spent itself deeper into the red last month, paying nearly $20 billion in interest on debt and an additional $9.8 billion to help unemployed Americans. Federal spending eclipsed revenue for the 22nd straight time, the Treasury Department said Wednesday. The $165.04 billion deficit … was the second highest for the month on record … For all of fiscal 2009, the U.S. ran a record $1.42 trillion deficit. Fiscal 2010 might run a little higher—the Obama administration sees $1.47 trillion.” (Wall Street Journal, 8/12/10)
Job Openings Drop for Second Straight Month: “Company job openings fell for the second straight month in June, a sign that hiring isn't likely to pick up in the coming months. The data comes after a weak employment report Friday that showed businesses aren't adding enough new workers to bring down the unemployment rate, currently 9.5 percent. Wednesday's report, known as the Job Openings and Labor Turnover survey, or JOLTS, suggests that won't change anytime soon.” (Associated Press, 8/11/10)
Fed Sees Recovery Slowing, Plans to Buy More Debt: “The Federal Reserve, facing an economic recovery that it termed ‘more modest’ than anticipated, said Tuesday it will stop shrinking its huge portfolio of securities by reinvesting the proceeds of maturing mortgages in U.S. Treasury debt. The Fed move is largely symbolic and is unlikely to stimulate the economy significantly. But the shift in the management of its portfolio—and an accompanying statement—underscored Fed officials' concern about the vigor of the economic recovery.” (Wall Street Journal, 8/11/10)
Trade Deficit Continues to Widen, Points to Slower Growth: “United States is selling fewer products around the world and spending more on cheap imported goods, an imbalance that hurts the job market at home and means the economy is even weaker than previously thought. The trade deficit of nearly $50 billion for June is the biggest in almost two years, and economists fear that economic growth for the second quarter, which came in at a sluggish rate of 2.4 percent in early estimates, may turn out to be only half that.” (Associated Press, 8/11/10)
Home Foreclosures Rising: “Lenders repossessed 92,858 properties last month, up 9 percent from June and an increase of 6 percent from July 2009 … Economic woes, such as unemployment or reduced income, are now the main catalysts for foreclosures … The Obama administration has rolled out numerous attempts to tackle the foreclosure crisis but has made only a small dent in the problem. More than 40 percent, or about 530,000 homeowners, have fallen out of the administration's main effort to assist those facing foreclosure.” (Associated Press, 8/12/10)

Moderates have funneled money to Jihad, (knowingly or unknowingly), and leaders of that movement and because so many of these radicals are hiding in houses of worship (mosques), putting everyone peacefully worshiping at risk. That is why I don't agree with Obama, as radicals look at it as a triumph, to be in the same place that they staged the attack by going unnoticed there in a temple by other sincere worshipers.

They are doing the same thing with C.A.I.R. facilities, using them to meet and connect and train. I just think we're giving up more ground that we took back from activities like that. It is one thing to do it covertly in the U.S. and be found out, it is another to use our religious freedoms and tolerance, as they already did, to set up shop to do it again.

" THE SYNTHESIS " : CAPPING OFF THE SUMMER, 2010 SUMMER’S END EDITION 8-13-2010: THE KIDDIES ARE BACK IN SCHOOL, AND IT TOOK OBAMA NEARLY 4 MONTHS TO ‘PLUG THE HOLE’--- BUT AT LEAST YOU HAVE A FREE 6 MONTH SUBSCRIPTION TO "THE SYNTHESIS" (see the end of this to access archive)
by: AJA BROOKS, OFFICIAL INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM VOLUNTEER FOR THE BLACK RIBBON OFFENSIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST MEDIA BIAS AND GA LOBBYIST FOR "LIFE AND LIBERTY"

WHAT IS "THE SYNTHESIS"? The synthesis is an objective analysis of political journalism, an assessment of the perception of the facts, a political digest for the common man. DISCLAIMER: IF YOU'RE IGNORANT, A HYPOCRITE, OR NOT A FAN OF RAW JOURNALISM, THIS MAY NOT BE FOR YOU, AND YOU SHOULD JUST STOP READING NOW AND DELETE THIS, NOT SEND ME AN EMAIL BACK WHINING ABOUT IT, BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GET IT FORWARDED BACK TO YOUR OWN BOX --- just ask Carolyn Cary of "The Citizen" Fayette Edition! There are no spam laws in GA, and just because I use my freedom of speech in a way that challenges you doesn't necessarily mean anything in a court of law, or by you threatening to send me a summons in the mail just because your sensibilities are different than mine: it doesn't make me "scum"; it just makes your political philosophy as stale and decrepit as your existence and attitude....(if you're curious, see the archive at the end of this edition.) I have even found that those in law enforcement are seemingly oblivious to our current laws and how the laws are supposed to be interpreted properly by and through the Constitution, so I encourage you to exercise your rights, before they disappear from American culture. You don't have to write a newsletter like this one, but you surely can forward it to your friends, and you can even talk about it around the water cooler!! This publication is brought to you by people like us, who seek out the truth, an online collaboration of discussion topics for your perusal. *If you're being threatened with legal action for telling the truth, you're on the right side of the law*.

While the Press went on summer vacation, as I didn’t see Rachel Maddow puckering up since I blasted her for this:

I can honestly say that they did not use the 2 months that I afforded them w/o interjection to report on the most relevant stories to the common man. I do see a change in tone though, as even Chuck Todd is now registering on the “MOSTLY TRUE” TRUTH-O-METER about the mood of the country. I guess he gave up his spot to Rachel Maddow, and opted to at least make the needle move a little:THAT THEY DO NOT LIKE IT OR WANT IT:

COMPLETE WITH STEVE JETT’S EXCLUSIVE TAG LINE ON THE COFFEE MUG, REMINISCING ABOUT SUMMERS OF THE PAST SEEMED SO MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE, THAN SLOUGHING THROUGH THE HEALTH CARE BILL FOR NEARLY 6 MONTHS STRAIGHT, GIVING UP MY SUMMER TO NOT EVEN BE COMPLETELY FREE OF OBAMA’S EGALITARIAN PHILOSOPHIES FOR EVEN A SEASON...

Even the most liberal youth of my generation, even the most pontificated
Democrats, with their political designation on their Facebook profile, were willing to put aside religious discussions about Bible verses to at least humor me about the dire facts of the deficit and what we’re facing in the next 20-30yrs. if we don’t reform health care CORRECTLY:

After all of the discussions, it’s not rocket science to realize that our country has gotten into debt because we spend more than we bring in. Nothing could be more true when it comes this, than GA Republican candidate for Governor Karen Handel losing her lead to Nathan Deal, because at least 2,500 or more GA voters recognize that she did not collect 25% of state sales tax revenue from local businesses, (trying to pad her votes as much as she did the GA budget) and how she failed to charge former Sheriff Victor with misappropriation:

AND remember it’s all about Karen, campaign gear... I guess the money had to come from somewhere to print these... :

While I wasn’t lobbying hard core, like I was before the end of the GA Legislative Session, I was reading a book by Dr. Weil called “Why Our Health Matter Matters”
A good friend of mine who lived a full life owning his own paving business, never let the fact that he had polio or walked with cane interfere with him having a family or accomplishing his dreams. He was born just before the era of the polio vaccine. We always discussed government conspiracy theories, and he would always ask me about natural health alternatives, as this was during the time that I worked for GNC. One of his favorite quotes was “Nothing from nothing, is nothing...” and he told me that the biggest problem that he saw with his own race was that black people always wanted something for nothing. Needless to say, there’s just not another person like him!

While he did not disagree with entitlements and social reform spawned from the original work and era of THE BLACK PANTHERS, which championed social justice of times he shared with me,

he did say that it was black peoples’ attitudes nowadays that was leading to the decline of their race, and this attitude that they were entitled based solely on race. In other words, we are all American by birth, no matter what our race if we were born here and taught about the Constitution, and we need to separate racial politics from real social reform:

I would like for you to copy and paste this newsletter to your friends, to raise awareness as to how we can create a program to cover the uninsured, while at the same time addressing entitlement reform. I think we’re so over the Obama Administration’s attempt at addressing the economy and denying that that the lack of job creation is due to the higher taxes imposed by a health care bill no one really wants!! Now that August has come, I see Congressional newsletters of Democrats back peddling because their constituents have filled their ears up with complaints about the lack of jobs and that they’re worried the health care bill is not what it’s purported to be when “THE SUMMER OF RECOVERY” dared to venture into territory of “THE SUMMER OF MINI-ECONOMIC RELAPSE”:
Why is this a jobless recovery with 25 million people out of work? It’s because of uncertainty about the Reconciliation Act of 2010:

PROPOSITION FOR A REPEAL BILL ________ TO REPLACE H.R. 4872:

While Obama is definitely right about the urgency to tackle health reform, (as costs are exorbitantly high and we have no program for the uninsured), if we do not create a program to cover the uninsured or reform health care, we will add another $3 trillion to the deficit! The cost of not reforming health care over the next decade will double, adding half of the current deficit, to the $13 trillion dollar deficit, and if we do nothing about it now, half of the deficit by 2020 is projected to be nothing but health care debt: created by 20 years of unwise Congressional spending and legislation, a whopping $20 trillion dollars in the red!

It is not enough to say to the Federal Reserve to print more money for a bailout when the cost of food and gas are inflated, and since we’re a global economy that enjoys fiat, meaning that the American dollar is the only currency that is backed by the government who can write own notes, and while this is a supreme position of financial power and financial and influence, this also makes us vulnerable to attack from other countries who covet our position and status. Essentially, if you control the value of the American dollar, by buying up gold, property, or investments backed by gold, you have the power to control the global economy, and depending on how much you have, it’s like using reigns on a horse. The more wealth you have, the more you control sectors of society, like strings of puppets. I have seen Obama depicted as Puppet Master, but the true Master of Money is the person who is the wealthiest in gold, American property, and investments. While it is true that Obama has written a lot of blank checks, in 2004it was estimated that the government has 261,007,000,000 ounces of gold/$2,800 per ounce, so the gold value was $730,819,600,000 with $733,170,953,704 American dollars in circulation, which leaves $730,086,429,046,296, or about $730 trillion dollars in reserve.

If we were to sell off our gold to pay down the deficit, the United States is only then worth around $700 trillion dollars. With our current financial problems and people being unemployed, the government is not collecting any real tax revenue from 25 million people over the past 2-3yrs. Qualified unemployment recipients who receive $800 per month cost the government $20,000,000,000/$20 billion per month, and in one year $240,000,000,000,000/$240 billion, so for 3yrs. of unemployment that comes to an ungodly $720,000,000,000/$720 billion dollars, which by the end of this year will add $1 trillion to the deficit! The government can’t tax it’s own money, or make enough back off of taxes from unemployment checks, as it was a government pay-out to begin with! The government gives out close to $1 trillion and gets back only 1/10. The government is essentially loaning out money that was paid in by taxpayers, getting $100,000,000,000/$100 billion in revenue back for $1 trillion paid out.

Continuing this disastrous trend with unemployment will add to the deficit at nearly the same rate as the health care debt, which would put the projected deficit to then $25 trillion. Within the next 30-50 years, just with unemployment pay-outs and health care costs, the deficit will consume the entire value of gold that backs the U.S. dollar, and we’ll be penniless and gold-less, and we’ll have no capital to loan or be able to loan to other countries! Whoever buys our gold will essentially be buying our debt! Even if we used the tax revenue generated off of unemployment checks, that $100 billion, and bought gold with it, we would only add $35 million and some back, which won’t make but $142 million over the next 12 years to offset trillions of dollars spent on unemployment and health care!

So folks, this is where the rubber meets the road: health care has been so high that people have been having to choose between their health or having a roof over their head, a car to drive, and food in their stomachs. This is the main reason the I.R.S. disagrees with Obama’s wage control plan to levy the taxes to pay for health care, as even the I.R.S. knows that even if you took in more taxes to pay for a new health care program for the uninsured, Obama’s legislation fails to deal with the costs of MEDICARE/MEDICAID rising, along with private sector premiums and out-of-pocket costs, so the money it costs to treat the uninsured being used as tax write-offs for hospitals would only address one kink in the hose, like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound that really needs stitches: there are 25 million unemployed who may or may not return to work, but there are really 3 groups of people who make up the uninsured bracket of society. Illegals make up 12 million, 10 million Americans don’t have any insurance, and the other 25 million will get insurance at another job when they return to work or the ones who remain unemployed will be dropped from COBRA. Those who are insured now pay 8% higher premiums, as the hospitals charge insurance companies a percentage to offset the cost of operation for treating those not insured. Now with higher unemployment, insurance companies have jacked up their rates because of a lower pool for their policy.

The question is, why has universal care not worked for MA? MA is now carrying a deficit, against federal law, as universal care does not cover the cost of disability or address the costs of the aging population. MA’s premiums only went down $230 per year/per person, with much higher taxes, running a deficit, AND they STILL put disability appropriations on the chopping block, though that still didn’t stop their deficit or really improve care, lower premium costs substantially, or even offset medical costs to balance their budget. Universal care just shuffles federal money out around the state, and it fails to deal with the cost issues of elderly care or special needs. Which is why C.B.O. numbers are b.s.!

Keeping all of these things in mind of what we can’t keep doing and what has proven not to work, we can’t just do it Obama’s way to our country’s own undoing! America will meet her demise at Obama’s hand if we blindly follow him like sheep to the slaughter! We are to be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves, and while we’ve got to reform health care and do it N-O-W, even tort reform won’t stop this health care abyss!

As a lobbyist in GA in over the past 8 months, I have conferred with Republicans to give approval to fund H.R. 3200, H.R. 3400, H.R. 1200 (striking the mandate clause), and H.R. 3962 with much revision. I addressed committee members to agree to compromise with health care reform, and I garnered Republican concession to accept passage of 3 Democrats’ bills to their 1 bill, with the condition that H.R. 3590 be tabled until it could be revised to address cost issues effectively. The bill was so bad, it was written by Rangel, and it was determined in committee to be a conflict of interest, and I actually believe that Obama was so jealous that I prompted legislators to support this compromise, that it trumped anything he’d ever done in 10yrs. voting present in the Senate, so he refused to have Pelosi support convening on H.R. 3590, which would’ve gotten the bill thrown out entirely over ethical challenge, and he took it upon himself to write another version of it, H.R. 4872/the Recon. Act of 2010, and they used deem and pass to usurp the will of the American people, as the majority of Americans rejected it, as the majority of Americans rejected insurance mandating, federal funding of abortion, cutting $500 billion from from MEDICARE, and funding Thomson prison to house terrorists with pharmaceutical contracts for generic pills to medicate everyone into compliance, (to get them hooked on pills so they need an insurance contract!) I suggest you read the legislation for yourself, and all you have to do is read the first 150 pgs. of H.R. 4872 to see how the health care law is interpreted and will be applied in conjunction with the other bills, which sucks!

We must repeal H.R. 4872 for those reasons listed above, as those are legitimate concerns that revoke Obama’s promise of insuring the uninsured. None of that legislation pays for itself... where is the money coming from --- a $13 trillion dollar deficit?! Cutting $500 billion from MEDICARE will only make MEDICARE costs skyrocket and appropriate $500 billion divided by 47 million uninsured is like the government paying one $10 copay for a general doctor visit, and that’s it! Plus if abortion funding is not struck, that will cost $3 billion or more per year! I worked on revising this health care legislation for 3 months straight, so much so, I felt my legs were shackled to my parents’ computer desk. I would spend up to 18 hours a day some days on the computer, reading bills over 2,000 pages long, making revisions, and then taking an hour to email the entire Senate and an entire day to email the House of Representatives. I made a promise to investors to protect the stock market from this legislation, I promised business owners who were still left that taxes wouldn’t close down their business in this unprofitable economy, and I promised Obama I would turn over every abortion clinic for misappropriation if an amendment was not passed.

While I became certain we could not reform health care Obama’s way and that the law needs to be repealed before it becomes budgetary law before August 9th, 2010, I see that neither the Dems or Repubs know how to fix the problems that they’ve created and failed to govern judiciously, both sides offering inadequate solutions, with Dems offering the most undesirable solution that they’re forcing everyone to do, though their reckless spending and tripling the deficit in less than 2yrs. has increased the desperation that has made health care reform a 9-1-1 emergency! It’s weird: instead of doing their jobs to govern wisely, they’ve spent all of our tax dollars and then used that as the very reason to tax us more and pass more legislation that will tax us to death! Obama gave out a lot of money, but he didn’t tell you he’d try to recoup it with 4 new taxes on the middle class!

I was sure that repealing the bill would prevent further economic disaster, and selling insurance across state lines would help everyone, but no one had a vision of what the future American health care should look like, until I read “Why Our Health Matters” by Andrew Weil, M.D. In this book, Weil establishes medical standards that come from years of experience in conventional and non-conventional medicine, and a blue print for a system that will work in favor of the health of our nation, with health equaling wealth! It also gives a structural delegation of duties that will accomplish what Obama’s czar disciples can’t do, as a small group overseeing the entire state of the American public health. While Weil’s book was loaded with reliable facts, figures, history, and even structural system reform, it still did not tell how to measurably bring cost down or how to implement technology for our benefit to be cost effective. However, this book inspired me to discuss it with my peers, and while some are still holding out hope for Social Security, I have my own legislation to bring to the table. It’s very simple, I wrote it on half a sheet of paper with a marker, but I guarantee that it’s better than anything Obama, Congress, or the I.R.S. thought of to rectify cost issues. The C.B.O. can estimate that costs may go down some, but the C.B.O. can’t tell us how to get there or how to walk it out; however, I can.

I , Aja Brooks, would like to introduce a bill _______ for a National Health Insurance Plan, outsourced to __________. The purpose of this bill is to provide insurance for the uninsured, in the event their state has no program in their budget, or if they can’t attain MEDICAID or have been rejected by other private sector insurance companies. Monthly insurance premiums will be federally subsidized, as optional health coverage available through selecting an additional withholding on your W-4/corresponding tax forms. A National Health Advisory Council will be in charge of overseeing this program, who will interact with State Insurance Commissioners and ____________ outsourced insurance company. The National Health Advisory Council will not be a government position; doctors will submit a recommendation to a Senate committee nominating 10 most qualified doctors or influential health professionals from their field. The 10 most nominated will be the council. The Council will establish a Constitution to uphold the Hippocratic Oath and establish its own rules for terms of service and rules of operation.

The I.R.S. expansion will remain the same as in H.R. 4872, but the I.R.S. will have 3 new departments: wage division, premium division, and records division. The I.R.S. will do what it does best, collecting and recording accurate monetary and related information, and they will do do so by using the taxpayer ID# as a person’s National Health Insurance number. This way, the I.R.S. will be able to easily assess and collect information having to review and substantiate gazillions of 1099 forms, and without having to harass or hunt people down, the I.R.S. would be the only entity to have access to private medical data through use of the Tax ID number, which will track and compile medical data as soon as we add it for hospitals to submit it for billing/tax purposes.

The I.R.S. will analyze all Tax ID claims, those who have opted-in to National Health Insurance, and track the costs to those under other insurance, and also track the costs of those who refuse health insurance and compile it for an annual report for Congress. Congress could then accurately assess medical costs, with the I.R.S. curtailing fraud, and simplify billing for hospitals for those who can’t pay their bills. The computer system will work for Tax ID number only, to eradicate those who don’t pay taxes/to clearly count taxpayers’ contributions, in order to address illegal immigration as a separate cost issue that amnesty would not rectify. Billing pages will say NO TAX ID NUMBER/employer address for those who are illegal or employer tax ID#.

The I.R.S. and government can’t oversee every minute financial transaction to ensure taxes are being properly reported and not misrepresented, but they can more fairly tax, properly appropriate, and identify fraud easier with improved and accurate TAX-ID data based info. That way, it would be easier to extend tax cuts or credits to those who have large medical bills, and give a stimulus check to those who stay in good health and aren’t abusing their body or the system.

Funding for the new I.R.S. data base Tax ID# health information will cost_________. All health care providers must participate or license to practice will be revoked. Records must be submitted when patient information is taken in for admission or appointment.

Those who receive Social Security checks or unemployment checks have the option to opt-in on their forms by asking for additional withholding. This bill extends coverage to those under-insured, most of the uninsured who receive government checks, and those who are unemployed will be added to their yearly federal income taxes/that will be offset when they become employed and file their W-4 over again.

This bill excludes illegal immigrants, for the National Health Insurance Plan, as they do not possess a TAX ID number unless they are claimed as a dependent under an optional employer withholding for workman’s compensation insurance only, once we can accurately assess medical costs by TAX ID #, then we can effectively determine the costs and amount of medical services used by illegals, as to levy a tax of 3%, or require an ID card where they must pay 10% sales tax. The I.R.S. and ICE will partner to manage those claims filed that have the listing as NO TAX ID NUMBER, and the I.R.S. will determine legal work status and recommend deportation if necessary. If an illegal needs care, they must put their employer’s TAX ID NUMBER on the claim, so that withholding can be investigated by the I.R.S., and if they do not work, the spouse or head of household must disclose the employer’s TAX ID#.

While this bill is just a simple readjustment of how we do things, it may be amended or modified to fit legislative language and action as appropriate.

*****************************************************************
ON STEM CELLS, AND HOW WE KNOW ABORTION WILL BE A BIG POLITICAL ISSUE AND A DECIDING FACTOR REGARDLESS OF PARTY IN THE FALL ELECTION IN 2010:

The stem cells from aborted bodies used to mass manufacture vaccines or to treat diabetes, MS, or AIDS have not been successful; however, aborted stem cells have been proven to cause rejection as manifesting in intestinal inflammation, autism in a certain percentage of vulnerable people, or causing cancer!

The government does not care if aborted stem cells give you autism or cancer, as long as they get their money back by turning you into a cash cow for insurance companies with chemotherapy treatments, which you may or may not survive, and that’s way more services are covered under Obama’s health plan, and while they are not totally curative, in the sense that you could still die from the treatment.

NEITHER DOES ROY BARNES CARE IF YOU DIE FROM CANCER, AS HE THINKS ABORTIONS, MICROCHIPS, AND SELLING STEM CELLS IS ETHICAL AND WILL PRODUCE JOBS FOR THE STATE OF GA:

ROY BARNES THINKS THAT PLAYING GOD WITH YOUR TAX DOLLARS AND STEM CELLS IS ‘THE EDUCATED GAMBLE’ THAT HE’S GOING TO UNDERTAKE TO STOP JOB LOSS, CREATE NEW JOBS, AND GENETICALLY RE-ENGINEER EVERYBODY’S HEALTH, AND HE’S GOING TO DO IT BY FAITHFULLY EXECUTING OBAMA’S AGENDA, IN THE NAME OF VERY COSTLY AND EXPERIMENTAL HEALTH CARE !!

Basically, the use of stem cells is like cloning, but you’re manipulating naturally present cells to make a complete organ by harvesting them from an aborted fetus. I guess Roy Barnes is like Obama, and they think that this is REDEMPTION or RAISING THE DEAD...
while using stem cells may work with some organs and a few vaccines, the side effects from general injections when it’s made from the stem cells of aborted fetuses (hence mass produced), aren’t even worth my mother’s best friend undertaking stem cell injections for MS, even though she’s been confined to a wheelchair for 30yrs.! After all of the suffering of Prednisone prescribed for MS, the last risk she wanted to take was to contract cancer or some other side effects that would make life even more difficult. Again, Bromelain (pineapple) is showing great progress in treating MS patients in reducing inflammation w/o the harmful effects of a potent steroid, like Prednisone. Other natural treatments and cures are being overlooked and going unfunded by the ‘unfunded health care mandate’, so how is it really health care then?!!

For example, DMSO, which has been used in Mexico and has proven to cure cancer isn’t even being covered or considered under Obama’s bill, H.R. 4872:

Have you ever heard of a "P.E.T. Scan?" When using a PET Scan a technician will give a cancer patient a solution of radioactive glucose (i.e. a radioactive tracer or tagged glucose). Since cancer cells consume 15 times more glucose than normal cells, the cancer cells will absorb 15 times more of this radioactive glucose than normal cells.
The result is that when they do the PET Scan the cancer cells show up in the X-Ray.
Orthodox medicine thus knows how to target cancer cells. If orthodox medicine were truly interested in curing cancer, don't you think they would look for ways to "tag" glucose in such a way that the glucose targeted cancer cells and killed them? In other words, don't you think orthodox medicine would look for a way to target cancer cells with the intent to kill the cancer cells rather than simply have them show up on an X-Ray?
Such a cancer treatment does exist!! But rather than use glucose it uses DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide). Essentially:
1) The DMSO "binds" to (i.e. chemically attaches to) certain kinds of chemotherapy drugs, then
2) The DMSO (which always targets cancer cells) will target the cancer cells, and
3) The DMSO will drag the chemotherapy into the cancer cells, and
4) The chemotherapy (which is now able to target cancer cells) will kill the cancer cells.
Normally, chemotherapy targets "fast-growing" cells, meaning normally chemotherapy does NOT target cancer cells. But wih this treatment chemotherapy targets only cancer cells. Only very small doses of chemotherapy are needed and there are no side-effects from the chemotherapy since all of the chemotherapy targets cancer cells.
There was actually a medical doctor who used this DMSO / chemotherapy treatment (i.e. which I call "DMSO Potentiation Therapy"). But rather than give that medical doctor the Nobel Prize for curing cancer, the FDA raided his office and shut him down permanently.
A Brief Introduction to DMSO

The orthodox medical community claims to be looking for a "magic bullet" that helps chemotherapy target cancer cells. Why is finding a "magic bullet" so important?
Chemotherapy does not target cancer cells, and because of this, chemotherapy:
1) Kills far more normal cells than cancer cells, and
2) Damages and toxifies many of the normal cells that do survive.
Thus, if a substance could be found that helps chemotherapy target cancer cells, FAR LESS chemotherapy would be needed and the patient would have VIRTUALLY ZERO SIDE-EFFECTS from chemotherapy. This is both because less chemotherapy would be needed and because only the cancer cells would be affected by the chemotherapy, meaning normal cells would not be damaged and killed by chemotherapy!!!!!
In addition to all of this, if such a substance were found and used the "true cure rate" for orthodox medicine would rise from 3% to above 90%!! Most cancer patients die because of the complications of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Because of the way chemotherapy works, doctors cannot give enough chemotherapy to cure cancer because the patient would die from the side-effects BEFORE the cancer was cured. A "magic bullet" would solve all of these problems.
If such a "magic bullet" were used FIRST by orthodox medicine, meaning the cut/burn/slash treatments were avoided (except in rare cases where there is imminent danger from a tumor blocking fluids or pressing against something), a 90% true cure rate would be easy to achieve. In fact, with alternative medicine, for those people who know what they are doing, a 90% cure rate, by those who avoid orthodox medicine, is very easy to achieve. Orthodox medicine could do the same thing if they found and used a magic bullet.
But the fact of the matter is that the leaders in the medical community have absolutely no interest in finding a "magic bullet." A "magic bullet" would cost the drug companies hundreds of billions of dollars, patients would have less hospitalization, less doctor visits, etc. The fact is, no one wants a "magic bullet" to be found. The evidence that this is true is that two "magic bullets" are already known to exist, but no one is using them except for a handful of doctors.
Because the government can't patent it and make money off of it, they'd rather see you pay up and die from chemo! There is no reason to massively fund stem cell research when the risks outweigh the benefits to the quality of life of the patient. It is unethical to say the least, and it is despicable for our government to think they can get a cut off of deciding who lives and who dies!!

The purpose of this is to show you why our medical costs are so high as is, and why the state should be in charge of our health care system, and to provide you a way to create a new system of health care without Obama bankrupting it and the whole country right along with it!! Join me in telling Obama that we're passing up the sh*t pie that he's been serving us about this health care legislation H.R. 4872, and that WE SHOULDN'T BE FORCED TO EAT SOMETHING WE DON'T WANT TO EAT OR BE TOLD THAT WE WILL HAVE TO EAT IT ANYWAY! WE DON'T NEED OBAMA TO GO CAMPAIGNING TO CONVINCE US OF SOMETHING WE NEVER WANTED IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

To quote Andrew Weil, an actual M.D., (not Obama who is a Harvard-lawyer-suck@ss-post-turtle President who knows nothing about health care): "I now understand that when you lose your health, nothing else that you have matters. All you can think about is being well again... I have long taught that health is an individual responsibility. It is up to you to learn how to maintain it and protect your body's potential for self-healing as you go through life. No doctors, no treatments, no system can do this for you or force you to do it on your own."

In other words, Obama is not going to show up every day at your house to make you shoot a game of one-on-one! Mrs. Obama with her fanatical diet that she has her own daughters on, or any fad diet is no substitute for good nutrition and won't make up for the fact that you don't exercise 30min.-1hr. daily.

Translation: Obama is not the captain of my vessel! I am, and I make the decisions regarding my health, and ultimately I control the costs. What we need is not a political solution or a taxpayer-funded Obama pet project for Thomson prison DISGUISED AS HEALTH CARE OR HEALTH CARE REFORM, but something taking into account a person's body has the ability to heal itself. 80% of people worldwide use nutritional/natural therapy, something that is neglected in our society that depends on commercialized food production. While everyone else uses natural foods and plants as a form of medicine and treatment, as this is the Native American way, the old ways long lost in a blur of technology and the modern world. This knowledge is buried by what we're told is relevant and cutting edge.

This kind of medicine is available to you at low-cost, and it has been around for centuries! Ever since the Civil Rights movement, people have had access to a public library and now computer archives to be able to educate themselves about nutrition and vitamins/supplements.
Yet over the past 50yrs. with this knowledge of caring for ourselves readily available for us to ascertain, we have failed to use it to protect ourselves from government and lobbying making a big business out of health insurance, which has only been around since the 60's. Out of 50yrs. of having health insurance, health insurance is one of the worst creations of lobbying! Sin and corruption are expensive! We now act like it's been around since the dawn of time, and we're deluded into thinking that health insurance is like full coverage car insurance, when you're paying full price, (enough to employ someone being paid minimum wage for a whole year to work in health insurance), but walking away with only liability coverage!!

I ask you: why should we continue to pay the federal government any more money to do what they've failed to do anyway, which is regulate the monopolies and unethical practices of health insurance companies?? Why should they? Their incentive is to do nothing to hinder the billions of dollars that Americans spend on prescription pills, even though it is equivalent to licensed drug-pushing, and the government wants even more of that money, through lobbying and no safer drug regulations....

instead of going to an illegal dealer, people now exploit the medical community and vice versa, with the medical community prescribing things that people really don't need and people serving their addictions through insurance co-pays.

We need to permit states to be in charge of health care, on a local basis and permit them to govern accordingly!
WHY HEALTH CARE SHOULD BE A STATE-RUN DELEGATED DUTY OVERSEEN BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, NOT AN OBAMA HEALTH CZAR, DHS-RAN, all-powerful OZ PROGRAM:

*We need to clarify what seems to be lost by the Obama agenda, as the Declaration of Independence means that no one can deprive you of your inalienable rights to life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness. While the intention of our Constitution is "to promote the general Welfare", promoting is a lot different than providing for the general Welfare. We are to encourage and empower people to be independent and to care for themselves, not provide for their basic needs and fail to teach them how to care for themselves. Losing your health restricts your freedom just as much as incarceration, but Obama's bill puts the federal government as the final say of who lives or dies and deprives us of our basic right to health care choices by depriving us economically through outrageous taxes and stealing what we've worked so hard to earn.
*Even non-profit health organizations will be taken down by costs, take Atlanta's Grady for example. We have to be able to provide services to larger populations in certain areas, something that federally-controlled funding won't allow for, and where Grady would pick up the slack, Grady will do more than buckle under the costs that will go up with these tax increases!
*States have done an excellent job of providing for hospice care and emergency trauma care, but our life span is really only 60yrs. in the face of chronic disease and costs to state budgets. We're doing better at managed care for chronic disease, but we're not curing or healing it. Those like me, who have lived to 30, may feel like we're really 50 as we've lived half our life at current life expectancy. States spend too much on chronic disease treatments when we're ranked 29th for infant mortality, due to not enough emphasis on nutrition and prevention of STD's. The federal government can't decide how to appropriate state funds, according to the needs of the people, which is what state government is for anyway!
*We have good outpatient services, we're good with replacing physical parts on the body, and we're good on saving babies from complicated birth. We also have enhanced imaging techniques, some available to us by use of state grants. For all that we do right with our state governing, we need to govern ourselves better!
*The federal government isn't going to do that, no amount of money we give them will enlist them to be our personal trainer and nutritionist. No amount of money we give them will educate us about our bodies, and educated patients live longer, are healthier and productive taxpayers, and they don't pose a liability on state budgets. (For example, I have not had health insurance for right at 7yrs., so Georgia has saved $53,200 in not having to pay my insurance premiums. In essence, even though the year that I was incarcerated cost them $60,000 for an unconstitutional arrest, I had paid them for my stay between 2 county jails by not asking them to pay for my health care, because I learned to care for myself. By next year, me and the state of Georgia will be even, and I expect them to stay off my back for living like a pauper for 3yrs. as a result of it! Technically, since I've paid in taxes for 13yrs. of my adult life and not gotten state aid or welfare, they owe me for consulting my wisdom and me lobbying to save them money! Yet that is what we do as citizens, we make things better, and we leave a legacy for others to follow.)
*States need to set the rules for costs of treatments, services, and drugs based on a federal standard. So far, Obama's legislation is hopeful at best, and fails to specifically standardize medical care. It is too much like wishful thinking than it is practically applied law. The federal government should permit insurance to be sold across state lines, and should not impinge upon peoples' rights to allow them to treat themselves with natural therapies by forcing them to pay for insurance they don't want or won't use.
*States need to be in control of studies and pharmacy licensing, and hold companies and doctors accountable. Some scream about malpractice costs rising to where 50% of doctors will leave the profession, but no industry, especially one in the name of health should be so greedy as to keep people just sick enough that they need pills, but just well enough to keep working just to keep buying those pills. The state has the power to step in and keep its citizens from becoming nothing but functional addicts in a failed medical care system.
*The federal government should not be in charge of ordering if people should or shouldn't have mammograms. If you have no family history of breast or lung cancer, mammograms have been shown to actually cause cancer, and so have CT scans! The government shouldn't order you to have a risky test that could cause cancer, just so they can make money off of you being sick!! No government entity should legally enforce unnecessary, inconclusive testing, or treatments that cause more stress and anxiety, which are only used to prevent malpractice, not diagnose or develop treatments!
*The federal government is already allowing drugs to be prescribed without the proper studies, and if this was regulated by states, this would be a lot safer! WHY HEALTH CARE COSTS ARE SO HIGH NOW AND HOW WE CAN BRING COSTS DOWN:

*We don't really have a health-care system now, we have a dysfunctional disease management system which employs insurance agents as middlemen to be debt managers of our health care debtor system, which instead of having actual insurance, we have collection agencies who wheel and deal and give us special deals for paying their wages and monthly rent.
*The patient-doctor relationship is strained now because of health insurance companies and pharmaceuticals in that selection of treatment/reimbursement policies are dictated by them and not solely by the judgment or experience of the practitioner. Essentially, when someone goes to see a doctor, they are employing and paying people they never physically see: an insurance agent, a pharmaceutical representative, and someone who keys in their paperwork that isn't actually their doctor. We can simplify paperwork, but what Obama wants to do doesn't go far enough. He doesn't even have the standardized forms or what will go on them yet, but according to him and Harry Reid, they want to retro-actively tax you for these services that you haven't even used yet.
*We have to shift our goal to not being one of disease intervention, but to health promotion and disease prevention. While we may be nailing down different strains of HPV, cancer, or some other disease, it would be better for people to maintain wellness throughout their lives rather than live with chronic disease, which make up 75%-80% of all health care costs! It would certainly be better to be well and prevent disease and viruses from mutating than to continue in constant crisis mode.
*We have got to realize that the root of all chronic disease that causes cancer, R.A., and other costly chronic disease can be prevented and managed with nutrition and exercise, and lifestyle choices, which are all factors that are controlled by the patient, not the doctor and not the treatments or therapies. 1 in 5 people are disabled by arthritis, the leading cause of disability. Our obesity epidemic is the worst in the whole world, and is the precursor to chronic diseases that are the most expensive to manage. We spend $5 billion on treatment of cancer to maybe live 5yrs. more, and then after 5yrs. we're even luckier to live just a little longer. We're spending all that money on treatment and not prevention!!
*We can't just prescribe pills to treat symptoms without solving what's causing the disease, just medicating without really curing disease.
*We're presently incubating the next generation of diabetics in utero... if mothers have high blood sugar and excess weight during pregnancy, a genetic proclivity is created where a child will be diagnosed with diabetes by age 7 !!! This causes a Type 2 generation with a two-fold problem of both diabetes and heart disease, with it setting in 10-15yrs. sooner, increased blindness, kidney disease, and limb amputation.
*70% of people who have health insurance still file for bankruptcy, so we're paying out all that money for nothing for insurance!! Health insurance is the problem and not the solution to bringing costs down. Health insurance problems have caused 90% of people to have no money in their savings, and 50% have quit spending!! These health insurance costs have cut a growing economy in half!! Add an oil spill on top, and you have a sure recipe for a modern day Depression, the likes of which will become like what we've seen of the 30's and 40's, the next decade will be the most disease ridden and unhealthiest we've ever seen!
*Health insurance companies also hurt the growth of companies. Ever wonder why a STARBUCKS is so expensive?? Guess what? I don't even drink that anymore! The chairman of STARBUCKS spends $200 million to insure employees, more than the company spends on coffee! Small businesses have been telling people over the past 5yrs. that they don't have the money to fund a group plan because of the taxes, and small business owners have told employees to buy coverage individually off the internet or get family plans.
*Health insurance shouldn't be profit-driven, but if we spend just 16% of our GDP correctly, we can get the health care we deserve without Obama's plan that still has insurance for profit, medicine in for-profit mode, and the legislation does not nail down how to spend tax dollars correctly to bring down inflated costs from waste, fraud, and abusive practices of government or medicine!
*If we reform malpractice laws, we can reduce cost 10%. All the new legislation does is make the government the lawyer in malpractice suits, and puts a limit on plans and what amounts that you can sue for regarding malpractice, which does little to encourage ethical practices. It's like a slap on the wrist.
*People can't live without consequences: with poor health choices, disease is sure to follow, along with the costs associated with poor health! Doctors can't wave a magic wand to undo the damage you do to yourself, and we're too reliant on their care rather than caring for ourselves.

So while the world didn’t come to end when the Recon. Act of 2010 became budgetary law on 8-9-2010, GA has already approved of two appeal measures to prevent it from wreaking havoc on our state. Missouri, God bless them, tried their best to communicate with Gibbs on the matter, and that didn’t go well a couple of weeks ago. In face, it’s been going so poorly that even AOL featured an article on it:

Has the White House Gone Tone Deaf?

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wondered aloud (and in print) whether members of the "professional left" -- critical of the Obama administration for not having done enough to advance their agenda -- might perhaps be dipping into a stash of ganja, or happy pills, or both.

"I mean, it's crazy," Gibbs said. "Those people ought to be drug tested." Those kooky outraged liberal naysayers, according to Gibbs, would only be satisfied with Dennis Kucinich installed as commander in chief and Canadian-style (shhh, that's code for "socialist") health care. Personal *relaxation* habits aside, after a week like this one, I'd pose the same question to the White House: Namely, what are y'allsmoking? Whatever it is, it must be strong.

First things first: Gibbs' comments -- frustrated asides that made one heckuva juicy story for one sortapress secretary's resignation, as Rep. Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) did. But were they enough for onlookers to slap their foreheads in disbelief, the "D'oh!" heard round the (left-wing) world? Yes. The press secretary's belittling, foolish commentary comes right as the Democrats face a battle to close what pundits like to call the "enthusiasm gap" between liberal and conservative voters ahead of this year's midterm elections. It would have been demoralizing enough if Gibbs had just left Dems with his bons mots from aninterview on "Meet the Press," where he proclaimed, "I think there's no doubt there are enough seats in play that could cause Republicans to gain control." But bashing Obama's base at a time when Democratic congressional candidates need all the support they can muster? Questionable strategy.

And that's not all. On Wednesday, the market hastened its retreat following not-so-great economic news out of Europe and downright worrying news out of China. On Thursday, The New York Times reported that homeowners have simply ceased to pay back billions in home loans, leaving lenders in a lurch. And in an op-ed on Tuesday, columnist Bob Herbert described the U.S. unemployment rate as "a horror show." "The nation is facing a full-blown employment crisis," he wrote. "And policy makers are not responding with anything like the sense of urgency that is needed." This, mind you, is the season the White House has dubbed "Recovery Summer."

If you're generous, you might excuse the administration for this wildly premature branding as simply overzealous optimism. But at a time when the country is quite literally adrift, one has to wonder what travel agent Barack and Michelle might have been consulting when they booked the lavish vacation to Marbella, Spain, for the first lady and her daughter, or their upcoming 10-day sojourn to Martha's Vineyard. My colleague Lynn Sweet got the scoop that part of the rationale for the Mrs. Obama's Spain trip was to be with a grieving friend, to which another one of my colleagues offered, "What happened to baking a pie?" Indeed. Perhaps the only baked goods coming out of the White House kitchen these days are space cakes.

The first family's Vineyard jaunt will come after a much touted "vacation" to the Gulf of Mexico this weekend that will last less than 36 hours. Presumably, the Obama clan will be downing gulf shrimp to prove that it's safe to eat (the president, for his part, must be really tired of shrimp at this point) and splash in the water to show that it is not, in fact, laden with oil. But will this really count, in the eyes of the American public, as a ringing endorsement for gulf tourism? The president is also scheduled to speak with local officials and get an update on the latest recovery efforts in the wake of the BP oil spill -- not exactly vacation fare, but more like a business trip with the kids. The transparency of this Florida photo-op is almost painful when you consider the media (and outrage) that is likely to be generated over the Obamas' coming long, luxurious and presumably golf-filled getaway to the tony Vineyard.

And finally: presidential hubris. The withdrawal of U.S. combat forces in Iraq at the end of this month, and Obama's recent virtual unfurling of a "Mission Accomplished" banner, comes as reports show an Iraqi government woefully unprepared to take over, a country lacking rudimentary infrastructure, a potential resurgence of al-Qaeda in Iraq, and an Iraqi military chief who, on Thursday, suggested that U.S. forces might need to stay in the country for not another year (as is planned), but another decade. And, oh yes, the State Department is $400 million short on the money it needs to even make the draw-down possible. While we'll have a good year to wait and see what actually happens in Baghdad, the White House sure seems like it's setting itself up for a fall.

I'll let recreational stoners off the hook here and just put it out there: What's happening over at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? For a team that was so incredibly skilled at managing the message and reading the pulse of the country throughout the long, hard campaign slog, it has been weirdly, tragically tone deaf these last few weeks. George W. Bush, not someone known for his nuanced approach to anything, managed to keep his head down during the dark days, clearing brush in Crawford, abstaining from the golf course, and waving goodbye to his wife as she took off on low-cost (and domestic!) camping trips. For a country that's hurt, an economy that's limping, and a base that feels bruised, President Obama and his team would do well to descend from that high horse and put their feet back on the ground.

I’d like for all of “The Synthesis” readers to turn on their creative mind until November, so that we can make signs, hats, posters, do phone calls, and have meetings and so on. It is not enough to convey to the White House that we are disgruntled with their leadership, we must effectively and peacefully organize to represent the majority of what Americans want went it comes to leadership, and even health care.

Here are some ideas about silent protest. Silent protest encompasses anything with a message that you don’t actually verbalize with your mouth, but that visually catches a person’s eye:

(some of my own personal designs on shirts and clothes)

9-12 head bands, 9-12 pants, American flag shirt, mock leather bomber jacket, etc. To quote a line from a movie, “SYMBOLS ARE MOST EFFECTIVE WHEN THEY ARE SEEN...”

Inundating the White House with phone calls, faxes, and emails really just gives them excuse to stop working, unless you have specifically read the legislation and can tell them which lines you don’t agree with/propose a solution on how to fix it. Yeah, I mean we’re getting the message across with technology, but SEEING is BELIEVING! When 9-12 and Tea Party protesters assembled the morning of the vote on the health care bill, while Nancy Pelosi paraded a gigantic gavel:

The ever-present media of the digital age has failed to capture and has constantly downplayed the rejection of Obama’s policies over the past two years, and the protesting was so loud, it could be heard interrupting the closing arguments before the up or down vote was taken on the health care bill, the shouts were louder than had been heard in 30yrs., THROUGH THE WALLS OF CONGRESS, people could be heard saying “NO HEALTH CARE AS WRITTEN”, “DON’T TREAD ON ME!”, singing, chanting, rattlesnake devices and all.... was it any wonder that all of these people could be heard through the walls?!

America has awoken from a political slumber of 50yrs. to face a tone deaf Congress!

I want to leave you with a couple of political morsels that have shaped local elections from Congress on down this past week...

NOW WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY, PALIN’S ENDORSEMENT DID LITTLE TO SWAY GA VOTERS TO ELECT KAREN HANDEL FOR GOVERNOR... WHICH IS KIND OF FUNNY, AS IF I WOULD TELL YOU THAT IF STOOD ON STONE MOUNTAIN AND SAID “I CAN SEE ALASKA FROM STONE MOUNTAIN PARK !!” YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I’M BEING FACETIOUS! Unfortunately, the strange thing about Sarah Palin is that we can’t tell the difference between dipsh*t mode and being serious. Which bring me to the 2nd happening this week. The timing of Levi Johnston just could not be better, thank you Levi!

With that, I can certainly say that political relevance is only just another week away... until next time!

AND OF COURSE, SHARE YOUR FREE SUBSCRIPTION WITH YOUR FRIENDS, AS TERRORISM FLOURISHES WHEN IGNORANCE THRIVES!!

Obama, the tooth fairy...

2011-01-09T16:03:00.001-08:00

Obama, the tooth fairy...

Some say: ‘an eye for an eye, and tooth for tooth’, but this is what happens when you have no acceptable dental coverage, can’t be seen by a reputable dentist on a Sunday living in Georgia, a local emergency room visit is a 3 hour wait for antibiotics with a referral to an indigent/non-profit clinic with a waiting list over 3 months long....

all because you saved some hostage journalists in Iraq years ago (as the media lied to the public, saying that these hostages were released by their captors without conflict) because you disobeyed an order to bring the hostages out alive by killing their captors in the process of the rescue: resulting in discharge from the military without treatment for PTSD or access to the V.A. hospital or services, though making roughly $40,000 per year, but being incarcerated 4-5 months every year for the past 7 years/not receiving adequate dental care in the GA prison system (maybe if they were sued for violating Habeas corpus they would stop misappropriating and stop being so corrupt) with no treatment for PTSD, for having several DUI’s for self medicating the dopamine deficiency caused by PTSD.

AND LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT AGENT ORANGE AND THE V.A. HERE IN GA... we'll save that for another email, unless MSNBC has the huevos to cover that, which they don't, because they're stuck up Obama's behind.

If you care about your freedom and health, tell Obama:
Thomson prison IS NOT low cost insurance or universal care and ask Rangel to resign.
-RESIST TYRANNY!-
-Please contact your local Congressman or Representative and have them repeal H.R. 4872 and replace it with proposed legislation.-

Kudzu: a remedy for hangover and possible treatment for alcoholism
Spirulina: blue green algae, a nutritional supplement used to naturally treat dopamine deficiencyIn 2002, the Society on Alcoholism demonstrated Kudzu as the most promising herb in their symposium, Herbal Remedies for Alcoholism: Promises and Possible Pitfalls.
Kudzu has been used traditionally for thousands of years to treat alcohol abuse. It has recently grown in interest, with some controversy over it’s isoflavone concentration and the method of preparation of it’s biologically active constituents.
Many doctors, pharmacists and even herbalists are unaware of kudzu’s actual active ingredients and the concentration required to reduce cravings effectively. The research within the last ten years has confirmed kudzu’s ancient use to treat alcoholism yet debate remains on what form of kudzu is most appropriate to help you.
Pure or Crude Kudzu?

Research has been misleading. A Harvard study indicates standardized pure kudzuextract at 30-40% as it’s most effective isoflavone concentration to reduce 50% of cravings in just one week in a laboratory drinking setting ( Lukas SE., 2005).

WHAT IS SPIRULINA ALGAE (Spirulina Arthrospira)?

Spirulina Arthrospira is a planktonic blue-green algae (Cyanobacteria) found in warm water alkaline volcanic lakes and is rich in raw protein and seven major vitamins: A1, B1, B2, B6, B12 (one of the best natural sources for B12, although the bioavailability its B12 is in dispute by many researchers), C and E. It naturally contains beta-carotene, color enhancing pigments, and whole range of minerals. In addition, Spirulina has a 62% amino acid content and contains all essential fatty acids and eight amino acids required for complete nutrition. Evidence as recent as late 2007 shows even more proof as to the profound anti-oxidant properties of Spirulina.

The primary species of Spirulina are Arthrospira platensis and Arthrospira maxima.
Another species is Spirulina fusiformis; it is a freshwater algae as opposed to Marine/Saltwater species of the commonly harvested/aquacultured species noted earlier. It used t be classified as Spirulina platensis. Arthrospira fusiformis is capable of a great deal of polymorphism, it changes its shape, color and other charastistics in adapting to its environment. This freshwater species thrives in waters that are loaded with various minerals such as sodium, magnesium, carbonates, sulfates and chlorides. It does notusually thrive in water which is suitable for watering crops, drinking or raising fish.
Most commercial Spirulina used for human and fish food consumption primarily is grown in the USA, Thailand, India and China.

Spirulina is different from other algae and is similar to bacteria in many ways, occupying a niche between plants and bacteria. Spirulina is similar to cyanobacteria in structure (spiral shape, unlike true plant plankton), which can be toxic. Spirulina Blue- Green algae are recognized by the body (fish in particular) as a bacterium, causing an increase in antibodies, which in turn increases disease resistance. Spirulina is not Chlorella (the blue-green algae harvested from Klamath Lake, Oregon). Chlorella is a green micro-algae and does not have the same anti-viral, anti-cancer and immune stimulating properties of Spirulina. The Chlorella cell wall is made of indigestible cellulose, just like green grass, while the cell wall of Spirulina is made of complexed proteins and sugars.

Spirulina has a soft cell wall made of complex sugars and protein, and is different from most other algae in that it is more easily digested. Spirulina is also high in usable or digestible amino acids (the building blocks of proteins); proteins from cereal and soy are not as digestible by fish as the amino acids found in spirulina. Spirulina provides all the required amino acids, and in a form that is five times easier to digest than meat or soy protein.
An analogy used at a pet food seminar I attended was this: You can achieve the protein analysis on many pet foods with a used pair of leather shoes, but leather shoes contain little usable proteins.

AQUATIC HEALTH BENEFITS:

Minerals:
Besides the above mentioned high protein content and digestibility, Spirulina come from waters with minerals deposited from ancient soils and mountains that no other plants can live there. Due to the fact that Spirulina thrives in such alkaline waters, it incorporates and synthesizes many minerals and derivative compounds into its cell structure.
Transformed into natural organic forms by Spirulina (Arthrospira), minerals become chelated with amino acids and are therefore more easily assimilated by the body. Fish can ingest high amounts of added inorganic minerals (most fish foods are low in natural calcium and need added calcium to meet requirements) without benefit to health because the fish (or other aquatic organism such as shrimp) body does not know what to do with these incompatible forms. In fact, evidence is accumulating that the inorganic minerals can block absorption of the organic forms, leading ultimately to mineral deficiency diseases (see this human study: Dietary calcium better )

Spirulina Algae’s most profound Benefit; It Improves Immune Function:
Spirulina provides phycocyanin, a source of biliverdin which is among the most potent of all intra-cellular antioxidants. Spirulina is a powerful tonic for the immune system. In scientific studies of mice, hamsters, chickens, turkeys, cats and fish, Spirulina consistently improves immune system function.

An animal (fish for our purposes) produces unconjugated biliverdin, a yellow colored breakdown product of normal heme catabolism, formed by failing red blood cells. Heme (also called Haem in the UK) is composed of iron plus amino acids from globin of hemoglobin. Erythrocytes which have a 120 day life span transport oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and all the tissues of the body (a circulating erythrocyte is little more than a container for hemoglobin) are broken down utilizing these Heme via the tetrapyrrole; biliverdin, which is then converted to bilirubin and carried to the liver by the plasma protein.

Bilirubin is excreted in bile, and its levels are elevated in certain diseases and is then transported into the cytoplasm of every cell in the body of the animal (fish). As stated earlier, an enzyme called biliverdin reductase, converts the biliverdin to unconjugated bilirubin. The bilirubin quickly oxidizes back into biliverdin, and just as quickly biliverdin reductase recycles it back again into bilirubin.
This form of bilirubin, (similar to the bilin in hemoglobin or bile.), has been shown to be 10,000 times as powerful an antioxidant as is glutathione. The unconjugated bilirubin is also a powerful inhibitor of NADPH Oxidase (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase). This enzyme is a major source of Super Oxide in an animal’s body, and is involved in dozens of degenerative processes involved in disease resistance, aging and similar processes in fish and other animals (including humans).
There is now strong evidence that Spirulina supplements the amount of unconjugated biliverdin which the fish or other animals are born with, providing profound protection from oxidative stress.
Scientists also find Spirulina not only stimulates the immune system through before described process, it actually enhances the animal’s body’s ability to generate new blood cells.

THIS REASON ALONE is why Spirulina should be part of EVERY fish’ aquatic diet, INCLUDING carnivores where it should be fed via gut loading of worms, feeder fish, or crickets (which I have done for my clients Arowanas diet).

As well, Spirulina fusiformis has been shown to provideAnitoxidant/Hepatoprotective (Liver function)
In a study VIT University evaluated the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of Spirulina fusiformis against acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity in mice. For
comparison purpose, results were compared with those for silymarin, a standard hepatoprotective drug. The study clearly demonstrated that Spirulina fusifomis shows hepatoprotective effect through its antioxidant activity on acetaminophen-induced
hepatotoxicity.
See: http://www.iimsam.org/images/Hepatoprotective.pdf

Spirulina aids in building red blood cells and stem cells:

Spirulina is rich in a brilliant blue polypeptide called Phycocyanin. Studies show that Phycocyanin affects the stem cells found in bone marrow. Stem cells are "Grandmother" to both the white blood cells that make up the cellular immune system and red blood cells that oxygenate the body.
“Chinese scientists document Phycocyanin stimulating hematopoiesis, (the creation of blood), emulating the affect of the hormone erythropoetin, (EPO). EPO is produced by healthy kidneys and regulates bone marrow stem cell production of red blood cells. Chinese scientists claim Phycocyanin also regulates production of white blood cells, even when bone marrow stem cells are damaged by toxic chemicals or radiation”
The Effects of Polysaccharide and Phycocyanin from Spirulina platensis variety on Peripheral blood and Hematopoietic system of Bone Marrow in Mice.

Spirulina Anti-Viral and Anti-Cancer abilities:

Calcium-Spirulan is a polymerized sugar molecule unique to Spirulina containing both Sulfur and Calcium (another important element often missing from many aquariums). In studies hamsters treated with this water soluble extract had better recovery rates when infected with what would be a lethal Herpes virus. This works because Calcium-Spirulan does not allow the virus to penetrate the cell membrane to infect the cell. The virus is stuck, unable to replicate. It is eventually eliminated by the body's natural defenses.

Several studies show Spirulina or its extracts can prevent or inhibit cancers in humans, animals, and fish. Some forms of cancer are the result of damaged cell DNA “out of control”, causing uncontrolled cell growth. Cellular biologists have defined a system of special enzymes called Endonuclease which repair damaged DNA to keep cells alive and healthy. When these enzymes are deactivated by oxidation, radiation or toxins, errors in DNA go un-repaired and, cancer may develop. In vitro studies suggest the unique polysaccharides of Spirulina enhance cell nucleus enzyme activity and DNA repair synthesis. This may be why several scientific studies, observing experimental cancers in animals, report high levels of suppression of several important types of cancer.

A study published by the US National Library of Medicine has also demonstrated that Spirulina fusiformis has substantial potential to reverse the pre-cancerous lesions or wounds of the mouth known as leukoplakia.

Amparo and Habeas Data
v • d • e

Habeas corpus (literally, "that you have the body [the subject person under detention]") is a writ, or legal action, through which a prisoner can be released from unlawful detention. The remedy can be sought by the prisoner or by another person coming to his aid. Habeas corpus originated in the English legal system, but it is now available in many nations. It has historically been an important legal instrument safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary state action.
A writ of habeas corpus is a summons with the force of a court order, addressed to the custodian (a prison official for example) demanding that a prisoner be taken before the court, and that the custodian present proof of authority, allowing the court to determine if the custodian has lawful authority to detain the person. If the custodian does not have authority to detain the prisoner, then he must be released from custody. The prisoner, or another person in his or her behalf, may petition the court, or a judge, for a writ of habeas corpus. One reason for the writ to be sought by a person other than the prisoner is that the detainee might be held incommunicado. Most civil law jurisdictions provide a similar remedy for those unlawfully detained, but this is not always called "habeas corpus"[1]. For example, in some Spanish-speaking nations, the equivalent remedy for unlawful imprisonment is the amparo de libertad.
Habeas corpus has certain limitations. It is technically only a procedural remedy; it is a guarantee against any detention that is forbidden by law, but it does not necessarily protect other rights, such as the entitlement to a fair trial. So if an imposition such as internment without trial is permitted by the law then habeas corpus may not be a useful remedy. Furthermore, in many countries, the process may be suspended due to a national emergency.
The right to petition for a writ of habeas corpus has nonetheless long been celebrated as the most efficient safeguard of the liberty of the subject. The jurist Albert Venn Diceywrote that the British Habeas Corpus Acts "declare no principle and define no rights, but they are for practical purposes worth a hundred constitutional articles guaranteeing individual liberty".[2]
The writ of habeas corpus is one of what are called the "extraordinary", "common law", or "prerogative writs", which were historically issued by the English courts in the name of the monarch to control inferior courts and public authorities within the kingdom. The most common of the other such prerogative writs are quo warranto, prohibito, mandamus, procedendo, and certiorari. The due process for such petitions is not simply civil or criminal, because they incorporate the presumption of non-authority. The official who is the respondent has the burden to prove his authority to do or not do something. Failing this, the court must decide for the petitioner, who may be any person, not just an interested party. This differs from a motion in a civil process in which the movant must have standing, and bears the burden of proof.

[edit]Derivation and form
Habeas corpus (pronounced /ˌheɪbiːəs ˈkɔrpəs/) is a Latin phrase, which can be literally translated as “(We command) that you have the body”[3]. The writ is referred to in full in legal texts as habeas corpus ad subjiciendum or more rarely ad subjiciendum et recipiendum. It is sometimes described as the “great writ”. Its name derives from the operative words of the writ in Medieval Latin:
Praecipimus tibi quod corpus A.B. in prisona nostra sub custodia tua detentum, ut dicitur, una cum die et causa captionis et detentionis suae, quocumque nomine praedictus A.B. censeatur in eadem, habeas coram nobis ... ad subjiciendum et recipiendum ea quae curia nostra de eo adtunc et ibidem ordinare contigerit in hac parte. Et hoc nullatenus omittatis periculo incumbente. Et habeas ibi hoc breve.
We command you, that the body of A.B. in Our prison under your custody detained, as it is said, together with the day and cause of his taking and detention, by whatsoever name the said A.B. may be known therein, you have at our Court ... to undergo and to receive that which our Court shall then and there consider and order in that behalf. Hereof in no way fail, at your peril. And have you then there this writ.
The word habeas in the writ is not in the indicative mood ("You have ..."), but in the subjunctive (specifically the volitive subjunctive): "We command that you have ...". That the basic form of the writs of habeas corpus, now written in English, has changed little over the centuries can be seen from the following examples.
[edit]Examples
VICTORIA by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland Queen, Defender of the Faith, to J.K., Keeper of our Gaol of Jersey, in the Island of Jersey, and to J.C. Viscount of said Island, Greeting. We command you that you have the body of C.C.W. detained in our prison under your custody, as it is said, together with the day and cause of his being taken and detained, by whatsoever name he may be called or known, in our Court before us, at Westminster, on the 18th day of January next, to undergo and receive all and singular such matters and things which our said Court shall then and there consider of him in this behalf; and have there then this Writ.
The United States of America, Second Judicial Circuit, Southern District of New York, ss.: We command you that the body of Charles L. Craig, in your custody detained, as it is said, together with the day and cause of his caption and detention, you safely have before Honorable Martin T. Manton, United States Circuit Judge for the Second Judicial Circuit, within the circuit and district aforesaid, to do and receive all and singular those things which the said judge shall then and there consider of him in this behalf; and have you then and there this writ.
[edit]Similarly named writs
The full name of the writ is often used to distinguish it from similar ancient writs, also called habeas corpus. These include
Habeas corpus ad deliberandum et recipiendum: a writ for bringing an accused from a different county into a court in the place where a crime had been committed for purposes of trial, or more literally to return holding the body for purposes of “deliberation and receipt” of a decision.
Habeas corpus ad faciendum et recipiendum (also called habeas corpus cum causa): a writ of a superior court to a custodian to return with the body being held by the order of a lower court "with reasons", for the purpose of “receiving” the decision of the superior court and of “doing” what it ordered.
Habeas corpus ad prosequendum: a writ ordering return with a prisoner for the purpose of “prosecuting” him before the court.
Habeas corpus ad respondendum: a writ ordering return to allow the prisoner to “answer” to new proceedings before the court.
Habeas corpus ad satisfaciendum: a writ ordering return with the body of a prisoner for “satisfaction” or execution of a judgment of the issuing court.
Habeas corpus ad testificandum: a writ ordering return with the body of a prisoner for the purposes of “testifying”.

[edit]Origins in England
The foundations for habeas corpus were established by the Magna Carta of 1215. This charter declared that
No Freeman shall be taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his Freehold, or Liberties, or free Customs, or be outlawed, or exiled, or any other wise destroyed; nor will We not pass upon him, nor condemn him, but by lawful judgment of his Peers, or by the Law of the land.
Blackstone cites the first recorded usage of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum in 1305, during the reign of King Edward I. However, other writs were issued with the same effect as early as the reign of Henry II in the twelfth century. Blackstone explained the basis of the writ, saying "The King is at all times entitled to have an account, why the liberty of any of his subjects is restrained, wherever that restraint may be inflicted." The procedure for issuing a writ of habeas corpus was first codified by the Habeas Corpus Act 1679, following judicial rulings which had restricted the effectiveness of the writ. A previous law (the Habeas Corpus Act 1640) had been passed forty years earlier to overturn a ruling that the command of the King was a sufficient answer to a petition of habeas corpus.
Then, as now, the writ of habeas corpus was issued by a superior court in the name of the Sovereign, and commanded the addressee (a lower court, sheriff, or private subject) to produce the prisoner before the royal courts of law. A habeas corpus petition could be made by the prisoner himself or by a third party on his behalf and, as a result of the Habeas Corpus Acts, could be made regardless of whether the court was in session, by presenting the petition to a judge. Since the eighteenth century the writ has also been used in cases of unlawful detention by private individuals, most famously in Somersett's Case (1771), where the black slave Somersett was ordered to be freed. In that case these famous words are said to have been uttered "The air of England has long been too pure for a slave, and every man is free who breathes it".[4]
The privilege of habeas corpus has been suspended or restricted several times during English history, most recently during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Although internment without trial has been authorised by statute since that time, for example during the two World Wars and the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the habeas corpus procedure has in modern times always technically remained available to such internees. However, as habeas corpus is only a procedural device to examine the lawfulness of a prisoner's detention, so long as the detention is in accordance with an Act of Parliament, the petition for habeas corpus is unsuccessful. Since the passage of the Human Rights Act 1998, the courts have been able to declare an Act of Parliament to be incompatible with the European Convention on Human Rights, but such a declaration of incompatibility has no legal effect unless and until it is acted upon by the government.
The wording of the writ of habeas corpus implies that the prisoner is brought to the court for the legality of the imprisonment to be examined. However, rather than issuing the writ immediately and waiting for the return of the writ by the custodian, modern practice in England is for the original application to be followed by a hearing with both parties present to decide the legality of the detention, without any writ being issued. If the detention is held to be unlawful, the prisoner can usually then be released or bailed by order of the court without having to be produced before it. It is also possible for individuals held by the state to petition forjudicial review, and individuals held by non-state entities to apply for an injunction.
[edit]Other jurisdictions
[edit]Australia
The writ of habeas corpus as a procedural remedy is part of Australia's English law inheritance.[5] In 2005, the Australian parliament passed the Australian Anti-Terrorism Act 2005. Some legal experts questioned the constitutionality of the act, due in part to limitations it placed on habeas corpus.[6]
[edit]Canada
Habeas corpus rights are part of the British legal tradition inherited by Canada. The rights exist in the common law but have been enshrined in the Constitution Act 1982, under Section Ten of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms[7]. This states that "Everyone has the right on arrest or detention... (c) to have the validity of the detention determined by way of habeas corpus and to be released if the detention is not lawful."
Suspension of the writ in Canadian history occurred famously during the October Crisis, during which the War Measures Act was invoked by the prime minister, Pierre Trudeau, at the request of the Quebecgovernment. The Act was also used to justify German, Slavic, and Ukrainian Canadian internment during the First World War, and the internment of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War.
The writ is available where there is no other adquate remedy. However, a superior court always has the discretion to grant the writ even in the face of an alternative remedy (see May v. Ferndale Institution). Under the Criminal Code of Canada the writ is largely unavailable if a statutory right of appeal exists, whether or not this right has been exercised.
[edit]India
The Indian judiciary in a catena of cases has effectively resorted to the writ of habeas corpus only to secure release of a person from illegal detention. The Indian judiciary has dispensed with the traditional doctrine of locus standi, so that if a detained person is not in a position to file a petition, it can be moved on his behalf by any other person. The scope of habeas relief has expanded in recent times by actions of the Indian judiciary.[8] The habeas writ was used in the Rajan criminal case.
[edit]Republic of Ireland
In the Republic of Ireland access to the remedy of habeas corpus is guaranteed by Article 40.4 of the 1937 constitution. This guarantees "personal liberty" to each individual and outlines a detailed habeas corpusprocedure. It does not mention the Latin term but includes the English phrase "produce the body". The constitution provides that the habeas procedure is not binding on the Defence Forces during a state of war or armed rebellion.
Article 40.4.2° states that a prisoner, or anyone acting on his behalf, may make a complaint to the High Court of unlawful detention. The court must then investigate the matter "forthwith" and may order that the defendant bring the prisoner before the court and give reasons for his detention. The court must immediately release the detainee unless it is satisfied that he is being held lawfully. The full text of the provision is as follows:
Upon complaint being made by or on behalf of any person to the High Court or any judge thereof alleging that such person is being unlawfully detained, the High Court and any and every judge thereof to whom such complaint is made shall forthwith enquire into the said complaint and may order the person in whose custody such person is detained to produce the body of such person before the High Court on a named day and to certify in writing the grounds of his detention, and the High Court shall, upon the body of such person being produced before that Court and after giving the person in whose custody he is detained an opportunity of justifying the detention, order the release of such person from such detention unless satisfied that he is being detained in accordance with the law. [Italics added]
The state inherited habeas corpus as part of the common law when it seceded from the United Kingdom in 1922, but the remedy was also guaranteed by Article 6 of the Constitution of the Irish Free State in force from 1922 to 1937. A similar provision was included when the current constitution was adopted in 1937. Since that date habeas corpus has been restricted by two constitutional amendments, the Second Amendment in 1941 and the Sixteenth Amendment in 1996.
Before the Second Amendment, an individual detained had the constitutional right to apply to any High Court judge for a writ of habeas corpus and to as many High Court judges as he wished. Since the Second Amendment, a prisoner has had only the right to apply to one judge, and, once a writ has been issued, the President of the High Court has authority to choose the judge or panel of three judges who will decide the case. The amendment also added a requirement that if the High Court believes someone's detention to be invalid due to the unconstitutionality of a law, it must refer the matter to the Irish Supreme Court and may only release the individual on bail in the interim.
In 1965, the Supreme Court ruled in the O'Callaghan case that the provisions of the constitution meant that an individual charged with a crime could be refused bail only if she was likely to flee or to interfere with witnesses or evidence. Since the Sixteenth Amendment, it has been possible for a court to take into account whether a person has committed serious crimes while on bail in the past.
[edit]Malaysia
In Malaysia, the remedy of habeas corpus is guaranteed by the federal constitution, although not by name. Article 5(2) of the Constitution of Malaysia provides that "Where complaint is made to a High Court or any judge thereof that a person is being unlawfully detained the court shall inquire into the complaint and, unless satisfied that the detention is lawful, shall order him to be produced before the court and release him."
As there are several statutes, for example, the Internal Security Act 1960, that still permit detention without trial, the procedure is usually effective in such cases only if it can be shown that there was a procedural error in the way that the detention was ordered.
[edit]New Zealand
In New Zealand habeas corpus may be invoked against the government or private individuals. In 2006, a child was allegedly kidnapped by his maternal grandfather after a custody dispute. The father began habeas corpus proceedings against the mother, the grandfather, the grandmother, the great grandmother, and another person alleged to have assisted in the kidnap of the child. The mother did not present the child to the court and so was imprisoned for contempt of court[9]. She was released when the grandfather came forward with the child in late January 2007.
[edit]The Philippines
In the Bill of Rights of the Philippine constitution, habeas corpus is guaranteed in terms almost identically to those used in the U.S. Constitution. in Article 3, Section 15 of the Constitution of the Philippines states that "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended except in cases of invasion or rebellion when the public safety requires it."
In 1971, after the Plaza Miranda bombing, the Marcos administration, under Ferdinand Marcos, suspended habeas corpus in an effort to stifle the oncoming insurgency, having blamed the Filipino Communist Partyfor the events of August 21. Many considered this to be a prelude to Martial Law. After widespread protests, however, the Marcos administration decided to reintroduce the writ. In December 2009, habeas corpuswas suspended in Maguindanao as the province was placed under martial law. This occurred in response to the Maguindanao massacre[10].
[edit]Poland
An act similar to Habeas corpus was adopted in Poland as early as in 1430. Neminem captivabimus, short for neminem captivabimus nisi iure victum, (Latin, "We shall not arrest anyone without a court verdict") was one of the basic rights in Poland and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, stating that the king can neither punish nor imprison any member of the szlachta without a viable court verdict. Its purpose is to release someone who has been arrested unlawfully. Neminem captivabimus has nothing to do with whether the prisoner is guilty, only with whether due process has been observed.
[edit]Scotland
The Parliament of Scotland passed a law to have the same effect as habeas corpus in the eighteenth century. This now known as the Criminal Procedure Act 1701 c.6[11]. It was originally called an "the Act for preventing wrongful imprisonment and against undue delays in trials". It is still in force although certain parts have been repealed.
[edit]Spain
In 1526 the Fuero Nuevo established a form of habeas corpus in the territory of the Señorío de Vizcaya. The present Constitution of Spain states that "A habeas corpus procedure shall be provided for by law to ensure the immediate handing over to the judicial authorities of any person illegally arrested". The statute which regulates the procedure is the Law of Habeas Corpus of 24 May 1984 which provides that a person imprisoned may, on his own or through a third person, allege he is imprisoned unlawfully and request to appear before a judge. The request must specify the grounds on which the detention is considered to be unlawful which can be, for example, that the custodian holding the prisoner does not have the legal authority, that the prisoner's constitutional rights have been violated, or that he has been subjected to mistreatment. The judge may then request additional information if needed and may issue a habeas corpus order at which point the custodian has 24 hours to bring the prisoner before the judge.
[edit]United States
Main article: Habeas corpus in the United States
The United States inherited habeas corpus from the English common law. In England the writ was issued in the name of the monarch. When the original thirteen American colonies declared independence, and became a republic based on popular sovereignty, any person, in the name of the people, acquired authority to initiate such writs. The U.S. Constitution specifically includes the habeas procedure in the Suspension Clause, located in Article One, Section 9. This states that "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it."
The writ of habeas corpus ad subjiciendum is a civil, not criminal, ex parte proceeding in which a court inquires as to the legitimacy of a prisoner's custody. Typically, habeas corpus proceedings are to determine whether the court which imposed sentence on the defendant had jurisdiction and authority to do so, or whether the defendant's sentence has expired. Habeas corpus is also used as a legal avenue to challenge other types of custody such as pretrial detention or detention by the United States Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement pursuant to a deportation proceeding.
[edit]West Bank
In the areas of the West Bank occupied by Israel and administered by the Israeli army since 1967, Military Order 378 is the basis of Palestinian prisoners' access to judicial review. It allows for arrest without warrant and subsequent detention for a period not exceeding eighteen days before a court hearing.[12] In April 1982 the office of the Chief of Staff, Rafael Eitan, issued a document which called for a policy of re-arresting detainees shortly after their arrest: "When it is necessary, use legal measures which enable imprisonment for interrogation for a period stated in the law, and release them for one or two days and then re-imprison them."[13] Israeli soldiers used the Hebrew word tertur to describe the new policy in which this practice was recommended.[14]
The 1987 Landau Commission into Israel's security services "Methods of Investigation" recommended that the length of time a prisoner could be held without judicial supervision should be reduced to eight days. In its 1991 report on the Military Justice System Amnesty International noted "that even the proposed eight-day maximum period of detention without judicial supervision falls far short of the safeguards provided by Israeli law in this respect. It is also inconsistent with international standards of judicial access."[15]
A 1991 report by Amnesty International quotes Article 78 (a) to (e) of Military Order No. 378 as authorizing soldiers "to arrest and detain any person suspected of committing a security offence for 96 hours without a warrant. After this, two seven-day extensions may be granted by police officers before the detainee need be brought before a Judge for the first time."[16] The report notes that in Israel and East Jerusalem the law is that a person "shall be bought before a Judge as soon as possible, but not later than 48 hours after his arrest." In special situations an extension of a maximum of a further 48 hours is allowed.[17]

Why is this a jobless recovery with 25 million people out of work? It’s because of uncertainty about the Reconciliation Act of 2010:

PROPOSITION FOR A REPEAL BILL ________ TO REPLACE H.R. 4872:

While Obama is definitely right about the urgency to tackle health reform, (as costs are exorbitantly high and we have no program for the uninsured), if we do not create a program to cover the uninsured or reform health care, we will add another $3 trillion to the deficit! The cost of not reforming health care over the next decade will double, adding half of the current deficit, to the $13 trillion dollar deficit, and if we do nothing about it now, half of the deficit by 2020 is projected to be nothing but health care debt: created by 20 years of unwise Congressional spending and legislation, a whopping $20 trillion dollars in the red!

It is not enough to say to the Federal Reserve to print more money for a bailout when the cost of food and gas are inflated, and since we’re a global economy that enjoys fiat, meaning that the American dollar is the only currency that is backed by the government who can write own notes, and while this is a supreme position of financial power and financial and influence, this also makes us vulnerable to attack from other countries who covet our position and status. Essentially, if you control the value of the American dollar, by buying up gold, property, or investments backed by gold, you have the power to control the global economy, and depending on how much you have, it’s like using reigns on a horse. The more wealth you have, the more you control sectors of society, like strings of puppets. I have seen Obama depicted as Puppet Master, but the true Master of Money is the person who is the wealthiest in gold, American property, and investments. While it is true that Obama has written a lot of blank checks, in 2004it was estimated that the government has 261,007,000,000 ounces of gold/$2,800 per ounce, so the gold value was $730,819,600,000 with $733,170,953,704 American dollars in circulation, which leaves $730,086,429,046,296, or about $730 trillion dollars in reserve.

If we were to sell off our gold to pay down the deficit, the United States is only then worth around $700 trillion dollars. With our current financial problems and people being unemployed, the government is not collecting any real tax revenue from 25 million people over the past 2-3yrs. Qualified unemployment recipients who receive $800 per month cost the government $20,000,000,000/$20 billion per month, and in one year $240,000,000,000,000/$240 billion, so for 3yrs. of unemployment that comes to an ungodly $720,000,000,000/$720 billion dollars, which by the end of this year will add $1 trillion to the deficit! The government can’t tax it’s own money, or make enough back off of taxes from unemployment checks, as it was a government pay-out to begin with! The government gives out close to $1 trillion and gets back only 1/10. The government is essentially loaning out money that was paid in by taxpayers, getting $100,000,000,000/$100 billion in revenue back for $1 trillion paid out.

Continuing this disastrous trend with unemployment will add to the deficit at nearly the same rate as the health care debt, which would put the projected deficit to then $25 trillion. Within the next 30-50 years, just with unemployment pay-outs and health care costs, the deficit will consume the entire value of gold that backs the U.S. dollar, and we’ll be penniless and gold-less, and we’ll have no capital to loan or be able to loan to other countries! Whoever buys our gold will essentially be buying our debt! Even if we used the tax revenue generated off of unemployment checks, that $100 billion, and bought gold with it, we would only add $35 million and some back, which won’t make but $142 million over the next 12 years to offset trillions of dollars spent on unemployment and health care!

So folks, this is where the rubber meets the road: health care has been so high that people have been having to choose between their health or having a roof over their head, a car to drive, and food in their stomachs. This is the main reason the I.R.S. disagrees with Obama’s wage control plan to levy the taxes to pay for health care, as even the I.R.S. knows that even if you took in more taxes to pay for a new health care program for the uninsured, Obama’s legislation fails to deal with the costs of MEDICARE/MEDICAID rising, along with private sector premiums and out-of-pocket costs, so the money it costs to treat the uninsured being used as tax write-offs for hospitals would only address one kink in the hose, like putting a band-aid on a gaping wound that really needs stitches: there are 25 million unemployed who may or may not return to work, but there are really 3 groups of people who make up the uninsured bracket of society. Illegals make up 12 million, 10 million Americans don’t have any insurance, and the other 25 million will get insurance at another job when they return to work or the ones who remain unemployed will be dropped from COBRA. Those who are insured now pay 8% higher premiums, as the hospitals charge insurance companies a percentage to offset the cost of operation for treating those not insured. Now with higher unemployment, insurance companies have jacked up their rates because of a lower pool for their policy.

The question is, why has universal care not worked for MA? MA is now carrying a deficit, against federal law, as universal care does not cover the cost of disability or address the costs of the aging population. MA’s premiums only went down $230 per year/per person, with much higher taxes, running a deficit, AND they STILL put disability appropriations on the chopping block, though that still didn’t stop their deficit or really improve care, lower premium costs substantially, or even offset medical costs to balance their budget. Universal care just shuffles federal money out around the state, and it fails to deal with the cost issues of elderly care or special needs. Which is why C.B.O. numbers are b.s.!

Keeping all of these things in mind of what we can’t keep doing and what has proven not to work, we can’t just do it Obama’s way to our country’s own undoing! America will meet her demise at Obama’s hand if we blindly follow him like sheep to the slaughter! We are to be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves, and while we’ve got to reform health care and do it N-O-W, even tort reform won’t stop this health care abyss!

As a lobbyist in GA in over the past 8 months, I have conferred with Republicans to give approval to fund H.R. 3200, H.R. 3400, H.R. 1200 (striking the mandate clause), and H.R. 3962 with much revision. I addressed committee members to agree to compromise with health care reform, and I garnered Republican concession to accept passage of 3 Democrats’ bills to their 1 bill, with the condition that H.R. 3590 be tabled until it could be revised to address cost issues effectively. The bill was so bad, it was written by Rangel, and it was determined in committee to be a conflict of interest, and I actually believe that Obama was so jealous that I prompted legislators to support this compromise, that it trumped anything he’d ever done in 10yrs. voting present in the Senate, so he refused to have Pelosi support convening on H.R. 3590, which would’ve gotten the bill thrown out entirely over ethical challenge, and he took it upon himself to write another version of it, H.R. 4872/the Recon. Act of 2010, and they used deem and pass to usurp the will of the American people, as the majority of Americans rejected it, as the majority of Americans rejected insurance mandating, federal funding of abortion, cutting $500 billion from from MEDICARE, and funding Thomson prison to house terrorists with pharmaceutical contracts for generic pills to medicate everyone into compliance, (to get them hooked on pills so they need an insurance contract!) I suggest you read the legislation for yourself, and all you have to do is read the first 150 pgs. of H.R. 4872 to see how the health care law is interpreted and will be applied in conjunction with the other bills, which sucks!

We must repeal H.R. 4872 for those reasons listed above, as those are legitimate concerns that revoke Obama’s promise of insuring the uninsured. None of that legislation pays for itself... where is the money coming from --- a $13 trillion dollar deficit?! Cutting $500 billion from MEDICARE will only make MEDICARE costs skyrocket and appropriate $500 billion divided by 47 million uninsured is like the government paying one $10 copay for a general doctor visit, and that’s it! Plus if abortion funding is not struck, that will cost $3 billion or more per year! I worked on revising this health care legislation for 3 months straight, so much so, I felt my legs were shackled to my parents’ computer desk. I would spend up to 18 hours a day some days on the computer, reading bills over 2,000 pages long, making revisions, and then taking an hour to email the entire Senate and an entire day to email the House of Representatives. I made a promise to investors to protect the stock market from this legislation, I promised business owners who were still left that taxes wouldn’t close down their business in this unprofitable economy, and I promised Obama I would turn over every abortion clinic for misappropriation if an amendment was not passed.

While I became certain we could not reform health care Obama’s way and that the law needs to be repealed before it becomes budgetary law before August 9th, 2010, I see that neither the Dems or Repubs know how to fix the problems that they’ve created and failed to govern judiciously, both sides offering inadequate solutions, with Dems offering the most undesirable solution that they’re forcing everyone to do, though their reckless spending and tripling the deficit in less than 2yrs. has increased the desperation that has made health care reform a 9-1-1 emergency! It’s weird: instead of doing their jobs to govern wisely, they’ve spent all of our tax dollars and then used that as the very reason to tax us more and pass more legislation that will tax us to death! Obama gave out a lot of money, but he didn’t tell you he’d try to recoup it with 4 new taxes on the middle class!

I was sure that repealing the bill would prevent further economic disaster, and selling insurance across state lines would help everyone, but no one had a vision of what the future American health care should look like, until I read “Why Our Health Matters” by Andrew Weil, M.D. In this book, Weil establishes medical standards that come from years of experience in conventional and non-conventional medicine, and a blue print for a system that will work in favor of the health of our nation, with health equaling wealth! It also gives a structural delegation of duties that will accomplish what Obama’s czar disciples can’t do, as a small group overseeing the entire state of the American public health. While Weil’s book was loaded with reliable facts, figures, history, and even structural system reform, it still did not tell how to measurably bring cost down or how to implement technology for our benefit to be cost effective. However, this book inspired me to discuss it with my peers, and while some are still holding out hope for Social Security, I have my own legislation to bring to the table. It’s very simple, I wrote it on half a sheet of paper with a marker, but I guarantee that it’s better than anything Obama, Congress, or the I.R.S. thought of to rectify cost issues. The C.B.O. can estimate that costs may go down some, but the C.B.O. can’t tell us how to get there or how to walk it out; however, I can.

I , Aja Brooks, would like to introduce a bill _______ for a National Health Insurance Plan, outsourced to __________. The purpose of this bill is to provide insurance for the uninsured, in the event their state has no program in their budget, or if they can’t attain MEDICAID or have been rejected by other private sector insurance companies. Monthly insurance premiums will be federally subsidized, as optional health coverage available through selecting an additional withholding on your W-4/corresponding tax forms. A National Health Advisory Council will be in charge of overseeing this program, who will interact with State Insurance Commissioners and ____________ outsourced insurance company. The National Health Advisory Council will not be a government position; doctors will submit a recommendation to a Senate committee nominating 10 most qualified doctors or influential health professionals from their field. The 10 most nominated will be the council. The Council will establish a Constitution to uphold the Hippocratic Oath and establish its own rules for terms of service and rules of operation.

The I.R.S. expansion will remain the same as in H.R. 4872, but the I.R.S. will have 3 new departments: wage division, premium division, and records division. The I.R.S. will do what it does best, collecting and recording accurate monetary and related information, and they will do do so by using the taxpayer ID# as a person’s National Health Insurance number. This way, the I.R.S. will be able to easily assess and collect information having to review and substantiate gazillions of 1099 forms, and without having to harass or hunt people down, the I.R.S. would be the only entity to have access to private medical data through use of the Tax ID number, which will track and compile medical data as soon as we add it for hospitals to submit it for billing/tax purposes.

The I.R.S. will analyze all Tax ID claims, those who have opted-in to National Health Insurance, and track the costs to those under other insurance, and also track the costs of those who refuse health insurance and compile it for an annual report for Congress. Congress could then accurately assess medical costs, with the I.R.S. curtailing fraud, and simplify billing for hospitals for those who can’t pay their bills. The computer system will work for Tax ID number only, to eradicate those who don’t pay taxes/to clearly count taxpayers’ contributions, in order to address illegal immigration as a separate cost issue that amnesty would not rectify. Billing pages will say NO TAX ID NUMBER/employer address for those who are illegal or employer tax ID#.

The I.R.S. and government can’t oversee every minute financial transaction to ensure taxes are being properly reported and not misrepresented, but they can more fairly tax, properly appropriate, and identify fraud easier with improved and accurate TAX-ID data based info. That way, it would be easier to extend tax cuts or credits to those who have large medical bills, and give a stimulus check to those who stay in good health and aren’t abusing their body or the system.

Funding for the new I.R.S. data base Tax ID# health information will cost_________. All health care providers must participate or license to practice will be revoked. Records must be submitted when patient information is taken in for admission or appointment.

Those who receive Social Security checks or unemployment checks have the option to opt-in on their forms by asking for additional withholding. This bill extends coverage to those under-insured, most of the uninsured who receive government checks, and those who are unemployed will be added to their yearly federal income taxes/that will be offset when they become employed and file their W-4 over again.

This bill excludes illegal immigrants, for the National Health Insurance Plan, as they do not possess a TAX ID number unless they are claimed as a dependent under an optional employer withholding for workman’s compensation insurance only, once we can accurately assess medical costs by TAX ID #, then we can effectively determine the costs and amount of medical services used by illegals, as to levy a tax of 3%, or require an ID card where they must pay 10% sales tax. The I.R.S. and ICE will partner to manage those claims filed that have the listing as NO TAX ID NUMBER, and the I.R.S. will determine legal work status and recommend deportation if necessary. If an illegal needs care, they must put their employer’s TAX ID NUMBER on the claim, so that withholding can be investigated by the I.R.S., and if they do not work, the spouse or head of household must disclose the employer’s TAX ID#.

While this bill is just a simple readjustment of how we do things, it may be amended or modified to fit legislative language and action as appropriate.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, MS. SLAUGHTER?

My name is Aja Brooks, I am a Native American, and I implore you on behalf of my of my 2,500 MySpace, Facebook, and MyYearbook friends to uphold the Constitution: permitting the gov.t to waste more tax dollars on expanding federal prisons when the cost of housing state prisoners costs taxpayers $84,180,000,000, and by the federal funding of abortion and adoption services that were previously privately funded, is a sure recipe for tyranny and NO HEALTH CARE!

The state of GA's budget deficit exists from half of the money being appropriated for abortion pending, due to the health care bill!! Abortion is extraneous to the bill, and to think that you can spit on our Constitution and the people who pay you to represent us disgusts me!!

WE CAN'T DO HEALTH CARE REFORM AS A PRISON EXPANSION SYSTEM !! Add the $30 billion+ in abortion over the next 10 years and adoption services, which is extraneous to reconciliation AND you are not paying for legislation as you go, YOU ARE JUST misappropriating!

OUR LOBBY IS TRYING TO STOP YOU FROM FORCING US TO PAY FOR HEALTH CARE THROUGH THE STATE BUDGET'S DEFICIT, THE FEDERAL LAW OF NOT CARRYING A DEFICIT OVER TO THE NEXT YEAR....

PAGES 50-100 OF THE RECON BILL: YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE PROGRAM READY, SO YOU CAN'T TAX US FOR SOMETHING IN 2010 THAT WE'RE NOT EVEN GETTING CARE FOR YET!!http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AVUUGGGbcuQuZGRya3NyYmZfNTE2Z2s3cWNta2M&hl=en

"ABC Nightly News" just said that our state prison population has come down 5,000.

Yet, the state prison population is 1,403,000+ and at $60, 000 per year, per inmate, that costs taxpayers $84,180,000,000 !!

WE CAN'T DO HEALTH CARE REFORM AS A PRISON EXPANSION SYSTEM !! Then when you add abortion and adoption services to the cost, which is extraneous to reconciliation, you are racking up one heck of a tab with American taxpayers, not paying for legislation as you go, by condensing the bill into smaller sections that you can pay for that are worth funding in the compromise that I suggested below. Maybe you should consider this compromise again....

May this stand as a complaint against Congressman Rangel 3-15-2010:

I am very discouraged by the seeming lack of bipartisanship on H.R. 3590. From the Democrats, I believe that it was a conflict of interest to entrust Rangel to compose H.R. 3590 as the Ways and Means Committee Chairman. He tailored the legislation his way, to benefit his various Caucuses and Committees, not for the benefit of uninsured Americans or those who can not care for themselves as special needs persons!!
From the Republicans, their lack of commitment to communicate with the American people on this legislation, on the areas of concern in the legislation that they did not write. (Even though we agree that abortion is egregious misappropriation - a private expense not a public matter of health which usurps half of GA's budget for the cost appropriated for health care this year though this isn't even passed yet...) I feel that Republican leaders are using this to harvest donations early and to springboard themselves politically for the 2010 election. I'm not impressed with this bill; by far, H.R. 3590 is worse than H.R. 3200, H.R. 1200, and H.R. 3962, which is why it has met such opposition from both parties, and despite the glaring immorality and billions in cost, it is as if Republicans and Democrats alike are afraid to tell Obama "NAY", no matter that this bill needs serious revision.

I had contacted Speaker Pelosi before the Summit, and I told her that I would sift through this bill, and I would suggest that we table it until it is revised. That doesn't mean that we "start over" or that we stop until the election comes up for 2010: we can pass measurable reform without misappropriation, but NOT by passing H.R. 3590 as written. My suggestion would be to combine H.R. 3400 with H.R. 3962 to meet fairly between the two parties. With H.R. 3200 and H.R. 1200 cut in half, we should strike the mandate clause in 1200, or there won't be competition - just higher taxes! Then take up S. 1679 instead of H.R. 3590, as S. 1679 lays forth the provisions for chronic care for the general reform measures in H.R. 3200 and 1200. Harkin did a great job addressing those issues, and I'm tired of it not getting the consideration that it deserves.

More thoughts on H.R. 3590:

NO REFORM AS WRITTEN, CANCELLING THE CARE FOR SPECIAL NEEDS, AND AT THE PRICE OF THE BLOOD OF THE UNBORN !!
What the problems are, what we can do to fix these problems, not just keep throwing our tax dollars into an abyss, known as the prison system! (read below to see if your insurance plan is directly concerned, or indirectly how you're concerned by higher taxes to expand prisons, for the government to control the prescription pill market, and no care for special needs people who will be restricted from MEDICARE!!)

H.R. 3590 CONCERNS AND FURTHER PROPOSED REVISIONS:

Are military insurance programs affected, and if so, what rules would they have to abide by and how would this translate to premiums/costs? Right now, some county jails pay for ALL services, and some jails, you have to pay to see the doctor. Why is this important? We have a huge and growing prison population, from federal prisons, to state and county jails which costs taxpayers $60,000 per inmate per year to house people for mandatory minimum drug offenses, instead of getting them into outreach programs like TEEN CHALLENGE (with 50 yrs. of peer counseling, more intensive than voluntary A.A. or N.A. programs) http://www.teenchallenge.com/, or halfway houses where they work to pay for their housing/treatment.

THE FEDERAL PRISON POPULATION: A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS - http://www.sentencingproject.org/doc/publications/inc_federalprisonpop.pdf
In anticipation of Congressional consideration of revisions to federal sentencing policy, the
following analysis provides an overview of the current federal prison population and sentencing
trends of recent years. Overall, this analysis demonstrates that the federal prison population has
reached record levels, that a high proportion of prisoners are non-violent drug offenders, and that
racial disparities in sentencing and the proportion of lower-level drug offenders are increasing.

Recent testimony by the Department of Justice before the United States Sentencing Commission
has stated that “approximately two-thirds of all federal prisoners are in prison for violent crimes
or had a prior criminal record before being incarcerated.”1 As seen below, conflating those
persons convicted of a violent crime – only 13% of federal prisoners – with those having a prior
record, including low-level drug crimes, distorts the portrait of the current prison population and
the implications for sentencing reform. Overall, nearly three-fourths (72.1%) of federal
prisoners are serving time for a non-violent offense and have no history of violence

TREATING DRUG ABUSE IS COST-EFFECTIVE TO RELIEVING OUR BURDENED SYSTEM OF THROWING TAX DOLLARS INTO AN ABYSS WE NEVER SEE AGAIN!!

Recommendations
· Congress should undertake a comprehensive assessment of the structure and goals of federal
sentencing policy, with a particular emphasis on the effects of mandatory sentencing, the
proportionality of drug offender sentencing, and the impact of the growth of long-term
incarceration on the federal prison system.
· Congress should implement modifications to the federal sentencing guidelines that directly
address the growing number of non-violent offenders in the federal prison system.
· Congress should take into consideration the abundance of research indicating the costeffectiveness
of treatment for drug abuse rather than incarceration and introduce legislation
that provides ample use of alternatives to incarceration, as is the case in many states.
· Congress should adopt the recommendations of the United States Sentencing Commission
and remove the 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine.

If imprisonment was working, then why are we seeing repeat offenders who have access to prescription meds in prison, but not the counseling??
WE NEED TO CHANGE THE LAWS, AS WE'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON PROCESSING AND HOUSING INDIVIDUALS, INSTEAD OF GETTING THEM QUICKLY IN FRONT OF JUDGE WITHIN 90 DAYS, AND ORDERING TREATMENT PROGRAMS AS THE PUNISHMENT. MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE OFFENSE, AND SAVE OUR TAX DOLLARS!!

I DON'T AGREE WITH OBAMA SPENDING MORE MONEY ON THIS:

Obama Seeks Big Increase In Federal Prison Spending
Thursday, February 4th, 2010 6:23 am
As some states close prisons and divert more offenders to probation and treatment programs, the federal government is proposing to increase detention operations dramatically, says USA Today. The Obama administration’s 2011 budget proposal calls for a $527.5 million infusion for the federal Bureau of Prisons and judicial security. The boost would bring the U.S. prison budget to $6.8 billion.
Nearly half of new funding is proposed to accommodate the administration’s plan to close the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and move some of the terror suspects to an Illinois prison. The Justice Department projects that federal prisons, which now hold 213,000 offenders, will hold 7,000 more by 2011. Justice would hire 652 more prison guards and fill 1,200 vacant detention positions, far more than the combined 448 new agents planned for the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant Attorney General Lee Lofthus says the increased prison system funding does not reflect a de-emphasis of national security, only that the Bureau of Prisons “needs the bed space.”

SEC. 3139. PAYMENT FOR BIOSIMILAR BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTS.
(a) In General- Section 1847A of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-3a) is amended--
(1) in subsection (b)--

A biosimilar product, like Risperidone instead of (Risperdal). Like generic psychotropic drugs that have lots of side effects. I took this in 2005, I gained weight, I wanted to sleep 12 hours of the day, I was constipated, the back of my legs would cramp up, and my face would twitch. I took it for 4 months, and then I weaned myself off, taking it when I was only really stressed at night, 2mg.
*This was the care that the state of GA provided me after being exposed to some toxic illegal drugs. At that time in 2005, you only had to visit the Psychologist once a month. I saw a lot of people come in and out of the Henry County Health Department like it was a pill mill. I went back to this place for group counseling in 2008, and they had done a lot to clean up the place from being a pill mill for prescription drugs, but even the group counselor told us that they couldn't require group, though they felt that counseling is an integral part. I haven't been on any medication since 2005, I found out that I had a hormonal imbalance and a low thyroid, something that the state didn't test me for when I went to Columbus, GA. We've got to stop pushing pills, thinking that's the end all be all of mental health care.

SEC. 3140. MEDICARE HOSPICE CONCURRENT CARE DEMONSTRATION PROGRAM.
(a) Establishment-
(1) IN GENERAL- The Secretary of Health and Human Services (in this section referred to as the ‘Secretary’) shall establish a Medicare Hospice Concurrent Care demonstration program at participating hospice programs under which Medicare beneficiaries are furnished, during the same period, hospice care and any other items or services covered under title XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.) from funds otherwise paid under such title to such hospice programs.
(2) DURATION- The demonstration program under this section shall be conducted for a 3-year period.
(3) SITES- The Secretary shall select not more than 15 hospice programs at which the demonstration program under this section shall be conducted. Such hospice programs shall be located in urban and rural areas.
(b) Independent Evaluation and Reports-
(1) INDEPENDENT EVALUATION- The Secretary shall provide for the conduct of an independent evaluation of the demonstration program under this section. Such independent evaluation shall determine whether the demonstration program has improved patient care, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness for Medicare beneficiaries participating in the demonstration program.
(2) REPORTS- The Secretary shall submit to Congress a report containing the results of the evaluation conducted under paragraph (1), together with such recommendations as the Secretary determines appropriate.
(c) Budget Neutrality- With respect to the 3-year period of the demonstration program under this section, the Secretary shall ensure that the aggregate expenditures under title XVIII for such period shall not exceed the aggregate expenditures that would have been expended under such title if the demonstration program under this section had not been implemented.

Does this mean that after 3 years of Hospice Care that funding is terminated? Isn't this decision best left up to the family and whether or not a person has SSI benefits? Shouldn't people be able to pick where they want to receive hospice care, not a short list approved by the government??

(b) Report- Not later than 9 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report containing the results of the study conducted under subsection (a), together with recommendations for such legislation and administrative action as the Secretary determines appropriate.

Reports need to be done every 90 days, so we can make adjustments and really analyze costs, EVERY HOSPITAL AND EVERY FACILITY!! Otherwise, you have no accountability for reform!!! You can create jobs and put people to work, don't burden the Secretary with such a large task when this needs to be delegated.

Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Part C
SEC. 3201. MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PAYMENT.

This whole section is about amending the tax codes for fairness and setting standards for care. I think this gives too much power to the Secretary to make all of these determinations, creates more red tape that slows things down, and instead of a system of checks and balances, it places the Secretary in charge of it all. I don't like the way the entire section is worded, or how it determines price costs with no provisions for proper reporting systems quarterly. This would put the Secretary in a position that could be exploited by the bribes of other insurance companies. Right now, they have to compete with each other, but under the duties required of the Secretary, they will have to bribe the Secretary, and I don't see these tax revisions as bringing the type of reform of getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse just because you're going to hold the Secretary solely responsible.

SEC. 3202. BENEFIT PROTECTION AND SIMPLIFICATION.
(a) Limitation on Variation of Cost Sharing for Certain Benefits-
(1) IN GENERAL- Section 1852(a)(1)(B) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-22(a)(1)(B)) is amended--
(A) in clause (i), by inserting ‘, subject to clause (iii),’ after ‘and B or’; and
(B) by adding at the end the following new clauses:
‘(iii) LIMITATION ON VARIATION OF COST SHARING FOR CERTAIN BENEFITS- Subject to clause (v), cost-sharing for services described in clause (iv) shall not exceed the cost-sharing required for those services under parts A and B.
‘(iv) SERVICES DESCRIBED- The following services are described in this clause:
‘(I) Chemotherapy administration services.

I know that DMSO cures cancer, but it isn't available in the U.S. but in Mexico, because it can't be patented. Also, lab rats with cancer injected with Vitamin D on the tumors had the tumors disappear! I just don't like making people who are sick with cancer cash cows for insurance companies for the government by giving them chemo as the only option, and they're sick enough just to prolong their life miserably, but not well enough from something purported as curative treatment with all of those terrible side effects.

SEC. 3204. SIMPLIFICATION OF ANNUAL BENEFICIARY ELECTION PERIODS.
(a) Annual 45-day Period for Disenrollment From MA Plans To Elect To Receive Benefits Under the Original Medicare Fee-for-service Program-
(1) IN GENERAL- Section 1851(e)(2)(C) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-1(e)(2)(C)) is amended to read as follows:

The amending of this section will allow the Secretary too much power to price fix drugs and decide what is available under this plan, and even other insurance plans if the mandate clause in H.R. 1200 isn't struck. This is greed, this isn't holding insurance companies accountable, this is the government using the Medicare program to control the prescription drug market through it.

SEC. 3205. EXTENSION FOR SPECIALIZED MA PLANS FOR SPECIAL NEEDS INDIVIDUALS.
(a) Extension of SNP Authority- Section 1859(f)(1) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395w-28(f)(1)), as amended by section 164(a) of the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-275), is amended by striking ‘2011’ and inserting ‘2014’.

If you're restricting the enrollment of special needs persons into this program that they are now covered under an umbrella, what is your program for special needs people if they're restricted from enrolling??

PLEASE CONTACT ME ABOUT THESE CONCERNS/I WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH FURTHER REVISIONS THROUGHOUT THIS WEEK. IT TAKES ME 2 WEEKS TO EMAIL THE ENTIRE HOUSE, SO I WILL JUST CONCENTRATE ON Y'ALL, AS THE SENATE HAS A COPY OF THIS ALREADY. I WILL BE SURE TO SEND RANGEL A COPY OF MY COMPLAINT.

3 OBJECTIONS TO OBAMA'S HEALTH CARE BILL: NO FUNDING FOR SPECIAL NEEDS, BUT WE CAN EXPAND PRISONS AND CONTROL GENERIC Rx market!! --- this is not right...

What the problems are , what we can do to fix these problems, not just keep throwing our tax dollars into an abyss, known as the prison system! (read below to see if your insurance plan is directly concerned, or indirectly how you're concerned by higher taxes to expand prisons, for the government to control the prescription pill market, and no care for special needs people who will be restricted from MEDICARE!!)

H.R. 3590 CONCERNS AND FURTHER PROPOSED REVISIONS:

Are military insurance programs affected, and if so, what rules would they have to abide by and how would this translate to premiums/costs? Right now, some county jails pay for ALL services, and some jails, you have to pay to see the doctor. Why is this important? We have a huge and growing prison population, from federal prisons, to state and county jails which costs taxpayers $60,000 per inmate per year to house people for mandatory minimum drug offenses, instead of getting them into outreach programs like TEEN CHALLENGE (with 50 yrs. of peer counseling, more intensive than voluntary A.A. or N.A. programs) http://www.teenchallenge.com/, or halfway houses where they work to pay for their housing/treatment.

THE FEDERAL PRISON POPULATION: A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS - http://www.sentencingproject.org/doc/publications/inc_federalprisonpop.pdf
In anticipation of Congressional consideration of revisions to federal sentencing policy, the
following analysis provides an overview of the current federal prison population and sentencing
trends of recent years. Overall, this analysis demonstrates that the federal prison population has
reached record levels, that a high proportion of prisoners are non-violent drug offenders, and that
racial disparities in sentencing and the proportion of lower-level drug offenders are increasing.

Recent testimony by the Department of Justice before the United States Sentencing Commission
has stated that “approximately two-thirds of all federal prisoners are in prison for violent crimes
or had a prior criminal record before being incarcerated.”1 As seen below, conflating those
persons convicted of a violent crime – only 13% of federal prisoners – with those having a prior
record, including low-level drug crimes, distorts the portrait of the current prison population and
the implications for sentencing reform. Overall, nearly three-fourths (72.1%) of federal
prisoners are serving time for a non-violent offense and have no history of violence

TREATING DRUG ABUSE IS COST-EFFECTIVE TO RELIEVING OUR BURDEN SYSTEM OF THROWING TAX DOLLARS INTO AN ABYSS WE NEVER SEE AGAIN!!

Recommendations
· Congress should undertake a comprehensive assessment of the structure and goals of federal
sentencing policy, with a particular emphasis on the effects of mandatory sentencing, the
proportionality of drug offender sentencing, and the impact of the growth of long-term
incarceration on the federal prison system.
· Congress should implement modifications to the federal sentencing guidelines that directly
address the growing number of non-violent offenders in the federal prison system.
· Congress should take into consideration the abundance of research indicating the costeffectiveness
of treatment for drug abuse rather than incarceration and introduce legislation
that provides ample use of alternatives to incarceration, as is the case in many states.
· Congress should adopt the recommendations of the United States Sentencing Commission
and remove the 100:1 sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine.

If imprisonment was working, then why are we seeing repeat offenders who have access to prescription meds in prison, but not the counseling??
WE NEED TO CHANGE THE LAWS, AS WE'RE SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON PROCESSING AND HOUSING INDIVIDUALS, INSTEAD OF GETTING THEM QUICKLY IN FRONT OF JUDGE WITHIN 90 DAYS, AND ORDERING TREATMENT PROGRAMS AS THE PUNISHMENT. MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE OFFENSE, AND SAVE OUR TAX DOLLARS!!

I DON'T AGREE WITH OBAMA SPENDING MORE MONEY ON THIS:

Obama Seeks Big Increase In Federal Prison Spending
Thursday, February 4th, 2010 6:23 am
As some states close prisons and divert more offenders to probation and treatment programs, the federal government is proposing to increase detention operations dramatically, says USA Today. The Obama administration’s 2011 budget proposal calls for a $527.5 million infusion for the federal Bureau of Prisons and judicial security. The boost would bring the U.S. prison budget to $6.8 billion.
Nearly half of new funding is proposed to accommodate the administration’s plan to close the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and move some of the terror suspects to an Illinois prison. The Justice Department projects that federal prisons, which now hold 213,000 offenders, will hold 7,000 more by 2011. Justice would hire 652 more prison guards and fill 1,200 vacant detention positions, far more than the combined 448 new agents planned for the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and U.S. Marshals Service. Assistant Attorney General Lee Lofthus says the increased prison system funding does not reflect a de-emphasis of national security, only that the Bureau of Prisons “needs the bed space.”

LARGEST DEFICIT IN HISTORY IN FEBRUARY...
So the new strategy is to pay with blood of the unborn?!

You know, I really don't get why you don't see abortion funding as misappropriation, when you're supporting killing off future taxpayers!!

I see that H.R. 3590 has been cut down 200 pages, and I'm looking through the rest of the bill, but ABC reported that the abortion provisions were on 10 pages, starting on pg. 2,069.

ABORTION ISN'T A PREVENTIVE SERVICE -- providing birth control/contraception is, so we need to be very clear with the language or you won't get the support that you seek for it.

I do see provision of adoption fees, and while it is encouraging that the government has made an initiative, I think that we have enough DFACS, family courts, and paper pushers on the state payroll with kids still falling through the cracks. I don't really blame the government, I look at our communities and what we can do better. Throwing money at a problem regarding abortion, doesn't make the problem go away, it makes it worse and it often repeats itself -- which is why I don't support abortion funding or Planned Parenthood clinics!!

What are you defining as a preventive service in this section here?

Budget deficit sets record in February
February budget deficit hits record high of $220.9B with imbalance ahead of last year's pace
Buzz up! 20

Martin Crutsinger, AP Economics Writer, On Wednesday March 10, 2010, 2:44 pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government ran up the largest monthly deficit in history in February, keeping the flood of red ink on track to top last year's record for the full year.
The Treasury Department said Wednesday that the February deficit totaled $220.9 billion, 14 percent higher than the previous record set in February of last year.
The deficit through the first five months of this budget year totals $651.6 billion, 10.5 percent higher than a year ago.
The Obama administration is projecting that the deficit for the 2010 budget year will hit an all-time high of $1.56 trillion, surpassing last year's $1.4 trillion total. The administration is forecasting that the deficit will remain above $1 trillion in 2011, giving the country thrree straight years of $1 trillion-plus deficits.
The administration says the huge deficits are necessary to get the country out of the deepest recession since the 1930s. But Republicans have attacked the stimulus spending as wasteful and a failure at the primary objective of lowering unemployment.
The administration defends the economic stimulus bill that Congress passed in February 2009 with a pricetag at the time of $787 billion as the right medicine to get the economy back on its feet. President Barack Obamahas said even more is needed to battle an unemployment rate that remained stuck in February at 9.7 percent.
The White House says that job creation will remain a top priority, hoping to convince voters that Obama did not spend too much time during his first year in office trying to get Congress to pass health care reform.
The government's monthly budget report showed the record $220.9 billion deficit for February reflected outlays of $328.4 billion and revenues of $107.5 billion. The February receipts marked the first time that revenues are up compared with the same month a year ago since April 2008. Revenues had fallen for 21 straight months as the recession cut into both individual and corporate income tax payments.
Deficits normally shoot up in February because it is a month when the government makes large refund payments to individuals and corporations as part of the tax filing process. Those payments were boosted this year by various tax credits that were expanded or added as part of the government's stimulus efforts including the "Making Work Pay" tax credit and the first-time home buyers tax credit.
Through the first five months of the budget year, government revenues totaled $800.5 billion, down 7 percent from a year ago, while outlays totaled $1.45 trillion, up a slight 0.1 percent from a year ago.
The deficit of $651.6 billion through February is up by 10.5 percent from the $589.8 billion deficit run up during the first five months of the 2009 budget year. The government's budget year begins on Oct. 1.
The budget that Obama sent to Congress in February projects that the deficits over the next decade will total $8.53 trillion. But the Congressional Budget Office last week put the 10-year total even higher at $9.8 trillion. Part of the reason for the $1.2 trillion difference is that the CBO is projecting slower economic growth and thus less tax revenues than the administration over the next decade.
The administration has maintained that the country must run large budget deficits until the economy has begun to grow at a sustainable pace that is bringing the unemployment rate down. Only then, the administration says, should the government focus on getting control of the deficits.
Obama has created by executive order an 18-member fiscal reform commission that has been charged with coming up with a plan to shrink the deficit to 3 percent of the economy within five years. The plan is scheduled to be unveiled in December, after the midterm congressional elections.
With the economy so weak, the interest rates that the government has to finance the flood of red ink have remained low. However, economists are worried that the favorable outlook on interest rates could change quickly if investors, including foreign investors, start to worry about the government's commitment to restraining future deficits. China is the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury securities.
Through the first five months of this budget year, net interest payments totaled $86.5 billion, up 15.3 percent from a year ago.
In its report last week, the CBO predicted that the government debt held by investors would climb from $7.5 trillion at the end of last year to $20.3 trillion in 2020. CBO forecast that interest payments would more than quadruple from a projected $209 billion this year to $916 billion annually by the end of the decade.

AN UPDATE FROM THE DESK OF AJA BROOKS:

WHAT DOES BART STUPAK REALLY MEAN?? WHY WAS THERE AN AMENDMENT WHEN ABORTION LANGUAGE SHOULDN'T BE IN THE HEALTH CARE BILLS AT ALL??!!!

YOU'RE LYING TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, PRETENDING TO GIVE THEM SERVICES WHEN YOU WILL BE SPENDING HALF OFF THE $1 BILLION THAT EVERY STATE WAS FORCED TO INCLUDE IN THIS YEAR'S BUDGET TO HAVE TO PAY INTO THIS PROGRAM ON ABORTION, WHEN IT'S A FEDERAL LAW THAT STATES CAN'T CARRY DEFICITS, YOU'RE FORCING ALL OF US TO RECONCILE OUR BUDGET FOR LEGISLATION THAT YOU HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN OUR APPROVAL FOR AS TAXPAYERS!!!

YOU'RE CONTRACTING THE UNINSURED TO FUND ABORTIONS AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD CLINICS WHICH 78% ARE LOCATED IN BLACK COMMUNITIES !!!

YOU'RE GOING TO KILL 78% OF UNBORN BLACKS BY $1 PER PERSON, AND RAISING OUR TAXES FOR NO HEALTH CARE?!

IF ABORTION LANGUAGE ISN'T STRUCK FROM THE BILL BEFORE THE UP OR DOWN VOTE ON H.R. 3590 ON 3-18-2010, THE "PREVIOUSLY 40 MILLION UNINSURED" WILL BE FORCED TO PAY FOR ABORTION/FEDERALLY MANDATED BY THE CLAUSE IN H.R. 1200 TO PAY $1 PER MONTH INTO AN ABORTION POOL TO FUND PLANNED PARENTHOOD, WITH $40 MILLION DOLLARS PER MONTH TO OPERATE IN 78% OF BLACK COMMUNITIES, WITH THE LAW TAKING EFFECT AUGUST OF 2010.

$40 MILLION PER MONTH TO FUND ABORTION -- THAT'S NOT HEALTH CARE!! THAT'S $480 MILLION PER YEAR FOR ABORTION -- AND THAT'S REALLY NOT HEALTH CARE !!

Oh, and what I mean by the bills that are worth passing, they're worth funding. At this time H.R. 3590 is NOT WORTH funding as written. I concede that H.R. 3200 and H.R. 1200 cut in half are worth appropriating those measures, only without the federal mandate.

IT SHOULDN'T MATTER IF THERE'S A DEADLINE ON H.R. 3590; IT'S NOT WORTH THE FUNDING WITHOUT REVISION!

(I would include Mr. Marshall, but he's inaccessible by email, unless I email him through the write your rep. site./please fwd. to him.)

I found out after the Summit that you're trying to push an up or down vote on H.R. 3590, the most poorly written out of all of the health care bills! Charlie Rangel should definitely step down, in light of the fact that this bill is a conflict of interest with him as Chairman, as it benefits his position directly to influence higher taxation by the enactment of fiscally irresponsible legislation!

I will continue revision on H.R. 3590, but don't expect any miraculous outcomes on how to bring the cost down on this bill with the language that's in it. This will be the most difficult revision process yet. Since you have not struck the mandate clause in H.R. 1200, there won't be enough competition to make other insurance companies change their policies/bring prices down to compete with the Public Option; you will only then be covering a 30-40 million pool and deteriorating the health insurance market further, not fostering the competition that you seek.

I implore you to strike that clause in H.R. 1200 for the federal mandate of health insurance, as we already pay for it one way or another, and shouldn't we have the choice to say NO or OPT-OUT?! Rid the bills of ANY provision to fund abortion in any of the health care legislation !!

Why do you then wonder why people are NOT supporting Public Option or the President's New Plan? The New Plan apparently isn't a compilation of ALL the health care legislation or even H.R. 3962 with tweaks, so why do you then expect us to support this crappy bill H.R. 3590???!!! When Republicans say start over, they mean, take all of the objections, revisions, and their legislation, (which you've neglected the entire time, trying to attach your names to bills for you to take the credit for health care reform) and make some new legislation that we agree upon!!

We had Baucus' version, we had Reid's version, we had Pelosi's, now we have Rangel's and Obama's combo! Why is this all about you guys?? What about us??! We're the ones paying for it! Why doesn't our voice count when you're taxing us??!

Suggestion:
Table H.R. 3590 for further revision -- NO UP OR DOWN VOTE !!
Take 3200, 1200 (which were both cut in half) strike the mandate clause, and pass them.
Reconsider H.R. 3400 and combine it with H.R. 3962, after substantial revision and subcommittee processing.

And for God's sake, could we please have an up or down vote on something else other than H.R. 3590?!

S. 1679 is by far, the best bill that I've read over out of all the health care bills! It addresses trauma care needs, chronic care needs, elderly care reform and provisions, and general market reforms on health care --- you know, AN ACTUAL HEALTH CARE BILL !!!

I'm fully aware after not having health insurance for 6yrs. for myself, that we need to do something immediately to bring high premiums down for everyone else, and so that the uninsured have health coverage since they pay sales tax and income tax, and all of you who work for the government get health care!! We've been paying for yours!! HOWEVER, H.R. 3590 WON'T WORK AS WRITTEN !!

Why won't it work?

I invoke Byrd's rule: only stem cells grown from a person's own body doesn't cause genetic rejection/tumors; therefore, funding abortion is extraneous to reconciliation! There's no justification to force taxpayers to pay $3 billion to cover the cost of 1 million abortions performed on average per year, when the gov.t should not be making women cash cows for Planned Parenthood to begin with, and with the gov.t endorsing human carcass harvesting when aborted stem cells don't work/cause cancer!! Limit stem cell funding for organ regeneration only! You don't need to justify $3 billion for abortions to properly appropriate for stem cell research that actually works!

Aborted stem cells cause cancer!! -- IT'S AN UNETHICAL MISAPPROPRIATION AND POSES CONSUMER LIABILITIES IN WHICH THE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES SPONSORING THIS IRRESPONSIBLE PROVISION IN PUBLIC OPTION COULD THEN BE SUED FOR DEFRAUDING THE PUBLIC IN THE NAME OF SO-CALLED "HEALTH CARE", when abortion clearly isn't health care!

Since the New Plan primarily comes from H.R. 3962, and I'm revising it now, I hope that as I send you the revisions in segments that this will prevent a filibuster vote in which Americans will feel that their voice isn't heard. A filibuster isn't examining the budget or seeing why we haven't ever made appropriations to offer state programs to cover the uninsured.

Everyone pays sales tax and income taxes, and every day, Americans feel with budget cuts that they're getting less for what they pay in: roads are crumbling, teachers are getting their benefits cut - having to take unpaid vacations called furloughs, and GA is between a rock and a hard place between cutting public safety or education. All the while the existing health care programs have been regulated poorly! We've got to make this legislation viable where it enacts reform that is more than words on paper, and we've got to include a plan that isn't just making taxpayers pay for abortion, when that's not health care. That's why there's such a repulsion, seeing the cost to boot, and the bills have to bring cost down, NOT UP!!

We shouldn't have to chose between the two of public safety and education, like this stimulus bill that was passed that made people choose between national security, Medicare, or clean energy. Sometimes Ms. Pelosi, I wonder what it is that y'all do in WA other than undercut one another. At least in CA, you work for progress, but WA is completely different, I saw that from the Summit!

I'm looking forward to reading this bill; I pray it's better than 3200,1200, and 3590 combined!

I don't agree with mandating insurance becoming federal law, when you will have a pool of over 30 million, as it's unconstitutional. What if I don't like the coverage, even though it sounds good on paper? Why should I pay for something that I'm not using?

Is this new plan under a certain legislative bill, so that we may read it? I want to look at the fine print.

I just saw the ABC report of focusing on the uninsured, raising taxes on pharmaceuticals, and to prohibit denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions.
I wish you well at the health care summit, but I won't be listening or watching, my time better focused on revision this week, and to provide you with revisions on H.R. 3962/3067 next. I will work with you on getting the costs down, but I won't budge, and neither will GA on abortion. Abortion is not contraception or health care. Stem cell research should be limited to organ regeneration and funded appropriately, not funding human carcass harvesting!

$1 trillion is a lot of money for this latest unveiling, but maybe we could appropriate the money for nutrition and natural therapies to be available to the state and county health departments to revive the agro-sector. We don't want the state to foot the cost of being pill mills for mental health, pushing prescription meds and pill popping, but we need to appropriate for counselors of all kinds. If people don't produce enough dopamine in the brain, like a diabetic doesn't produce enough insulin, we must work to remove these stigmas, so that people can get care, something I was taught by Dr. Sandy Curtis when I took Music Therapy in college. I don't think it's so much an issue of $1 trillion in cost, but one of responsible appropriation, and each state may propose how they want to appropriate their program for the uninsured, with federal oversight to check the balance.

We can reform health care, if we're really willing to look at whether or not the application of the legislation not just works on paper, but in real life. $70 million is a nominal pledge for mental health in GA, when taxpayers are footing the bill to house inmates at $60,000 per year for mandatory minimum drug sentences, with GA's children only receiving $10,000 for education. I want to see more police officers get counseling and sensitivity training, and cultural studies to understand peoples' backgrounds too, as we need to be officers of keeping the peace, not just abusing the Patriot Act for serving the system of County police and jailers to have jobs. CA has a great model for substance abuse education that I would like to see taught in high schools in GA. I just wish that for all of the education and programs in CA, that we can compromise with this proposed model for addressing the uninsured, and not revert to Public Option without revision.

Again, I thank you.

ROY BARNES AND KAREN HANDEL ARE PLAYING GOD WITH STEM CELLS AND YOUR MONEY!!

2011-01-09T15:59:00.000-08:00

ROY BARNES AND KAREN HANDEL ARE PLAYING GOD WITH STEM CELLS AND YOUR MONEY!!

GA needs to watch who is spending their money, and what they're spending their money on: TAXPAYERS BEWARE!! The scariest thing that I saw was Roy Barnes getting an endorsement by only around 10-15 law enforcement people, mostly retired, who support Obama's Reconciliation bill-H.R. 4872, for the expansion of Thomson prison to house terrorists on U.S. soil, just so they can get more money at their county jails for generic pills! Less people working = more people in prison, and for each person in jail, it costs taxpayers $60,000 each to house them for an entire year!

Not only this, but Barnes thinks JOBS will be generated by paying $3,000 a pop+ for abortions, so then the aborted bodies can be sold for stem cell research... hey, how much is a dead fetus going for these days? I guess if you consider it an organ, if it cannot survive outside the womb on its own, then maybe it goes for the price of a kidney or an eye! This is not only the most morally depraved way to pitch making money, it's also a FACT that stem cells harvested from aborted fetuses that are used to make vaccines cause autism, cancer, and genetic rejection side effects. Stem cells have ONLY been proven to be successful in organ regeneration and certain experimental AIDS vaccines. This means that MS, diabetes, and a whole host of chronic diseases can’t be treated with a magic shot of stem cells without terrible side effects, and nothing can replace good nutrition, rest, stress management, and good lifestyle choices for total well-being.

While Barnes openly supports the pro-abortion/ flimflamming Obama agenda, Karen Handel covertly supports it as well, as she is not a REAL CONSERVATIVE, but an impeccable liar! She’s the one that should have an open federal investigation against her for failing to collect 25% of tax revenue while GA’s operating in the red, and why she failed to charge former Sheriff Victor Hill with misappropriation when county funds went missing from him gambling them away in the stock market. Instead, she padded the numbers until Perdue confronted her, as Hill was double dipping from the county funds and from seized drug money to gamble the stocks while ‘supposedly’ manning the jail. YEAH, I know WHO YOU ARE, Victor Hill, and I don’t forget! Karen Handel had the audacity to ask lobbyists to pay $300 per badge per year, instead of doing her job to collect tax revenue and failed as the head of the Ethics Department to stop Clayton County and DeKalb County from straining the state budget!! This was her big idea, to charge it to the lobbyists when GA fell behind the 8 ball, when bonds weren’t getting that lucrative flow of drug money anymore! Karen Handel failed to supervise Clayton County, and when I had to file a complaint with Perdue about my constitutional rights being violated, Clayton County was investigated, and they were ordered by Superior Court to burn over $12 million in drugs that were backlogged in the evidence room, and the FBI discovered a backlog of weapons that would’ve made Manuel Noriega proud:

http://wsbradio.com/localnews/2010/01/police-burn-millions-in-drugs.html
ALL YOU LAID OFF TEACHERS need to thank KAREN HANDEL for your lack of jobs!! Karen Handel’s liberal stance on IVF treatments will make breeding a taxable profession, and with her campaign money, she is sure to become not just the female contender, but OCT-O-MOM for Governor! Karen Handel does support the Reconciliation bill, because she supports IVF.
You need to know the positions the candidates have, not just what party they are in! With Karen Handel being infertile and then having that many children at one time would surely hinder her ability to put GA’s jobs first, as if she ever did that, as unemployment has held steady under her watch and her lack of accounting for waste, her not preventing fraud, and her failure to prosecute abuse put us in this mess!

Please tell me why her ad says that Deal spent all of our tax dollars.... ON WHAT?! He doesn’t support the Reconciliation bill as written, and there is a replacement bill that’s being considered now for an extra withholding for insurance premiums and an open bid for an insurance company to take up offering an insurance product THAT IS PAID FOR and optional through tax deduction or government check withholding, or employee optional withholding.

Certainly, Nathan Deal wouldn’t still be around for 2 decades later, if he wasn’t doing his job, so I’m telling Karen Handel to not just get a handle on herself, but GET A GRIP: IT’S ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT’N!! Take your same little IHOP speech about fiscal responsibility and 21st century focus down the road, because you’re preaching to the choir!!
