Fwd: I'd Like This Back, if it Applies

True Love IS JUST A CALL AWAY and HIS LOVE NEVER FAILS.       ---     I'D LIKE THIS BACK IF IT APPLIES  A little girl went  to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly jar from its hiding place in the closet.  She poured the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Three  times, even.. The total had to be exactly perfect.. No chance here for mistakes.  Carefully placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she  slipped out the back door and made her way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with  the big red Indian Chief sign above the door.  She waited patiently for  the pharmacist to give her some attention, but he was too busy at this moment.  Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat  with the most disgusting sound she could muster. No good. Finally she took a  quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. That did it!  'And what do you want?' the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of  voice.. I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages,' he  said without waiting for a reply to his question.  'Well, I want to talk  to you about my brother,' Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. 'He's  really, really sick....and I want to buy a miracle.'  'I beg your pardon?'  said the pharmacist.  'His name is Andrew and he has something bad  growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how  much does a miracle cost?'  'We don't sell miracles here, little girl.  I'm sorry but I can't help you,' the pharmacist said, softening a little.  'Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get  the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.'  The pharmacist's brother was  a well dressed man. He stooped down and asked the little girl, 'What kind of a  miracle does your brother need?'  ' I don't know,' Tess replied with her  eyes welling up. I just know he's really sick and Mommy says he needs an  operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money..'  'How much do you have?' asked the man from  Chicago  .  'One dollar  and eleven cents,' Tess answered barely audible.  'And it's all the money  I have, but I can get some more if I need to.'  'Well, what a  coincidence,' smiled the man. 'A dollar and eleven cents---the exact price of a  miracle for little brothers.'  He took her money in one hand and with  the other hand he grasped her mitten and said 'Take me to where you live. I want  to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the miracle you need.'  That well-dressed man was Dr.  Carlton  Armstrong, a surgeon,  specializing in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed free of charge and it  wasn't long until Andrew was home again and doing well.  Mom and Dad were  happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place.  'That surgery,' her Mom whispered. 'was a real miracle. I wonder how  much it would have cost?'  Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a  miracle cost....one dollar and eleven cents...plus the faith of a little child.  In our lives, we never know how many miracles we will need.  A  miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a higher law.  I know you'll keep the ball moving!  Here it goes. Throw it back to  someone who means something to you!  A ball is a circle, no beginning, no  end. It keeps us together like our Circle of Friends. But the treasure inside  for you to see is the treasure of friendship you've granted to me.  Today  I pass the friendship ball to you.  Pass it on to someone who is a friend  to you.  MY OATH TO YOU...  When you are sad.....I will dry your  tears.  When you are scared.....I will comfort your fears.  When  you are worried......I will give you hope.  When you are confused.....I  will help you cope.  And when you are lost...and can't see the light, I  shall be your beacon...shining ever so bright.  This is my oath.....I  pledge till the end.  Why you may ask?....Because you're my friend.  Signed: GOD  INSTANTLY WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER, YOU ARE  REQUESTED TO SEND IT TO AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO  YOU.           = ---

is this ur blog? how do we read it?

 

Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware, and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realize that the doctor's fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can't socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognize that government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognize that you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he'll eat you last.

A letter to Senator Nelson you can use regarding healthcare.

 

 

Please copy this and mail it to Senator Nelson. It is somewhat like a petition,
but the fact hat you put a stamp print  and mailed it yourself is more potent.
 I encourage you to snowball it to all on your
e-mail lists., even if some  may get it more than once.
When you e-mail it out to that list leave this paragraph in tact.

Dear Senator Nelson
317 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510

Regarding congressional healthcare legislation - I'm totally fed up!  I'm not asking anymore, and I'm not begging anymore.  You know we can't afford this now, and you know the majority of people are opposed to it.  You and your colleagues have the power now to ignore your constituents and do whatever you want, and it looks like you probably will.  Elected US representatives favoring tyranny over democracy for the first time in American history, shame.  But I'm telling you and all your colleagues that if you vote for this bill, I will not only vote against your reelection, but I will work tirelessly to defeat you, and I will work for and support your opponent financially. 
 
This 2,000 plus page bill and the action and conduct of this congress is an UNPRECEDENTED travesty.  Never in the history of America have we been represented by such a group of self-serving, freedom hating, nitwits and liars.  Only a moron would advocate adding this kind of expense to our broken bankrupt economy now.  Let's see how government will pay for this when our economy crashes.  Wake up!  But then apparently Democrats are not troubled by giving benefits and then taking them away after the people have come to rely on it, as you are doing now with Medicare.  People without means to increase their income at this stage of life are being threatened with runaway fees and reduced benefits,
 
In today's Bradenton Herald I read, "On January 1, 2010, Medicare patients in the state of Florida will face a new reality - increased difficulty in access to cardiovascular care.  The Obama administration 2010 Physician Fee Schedule severely cuts cardiovascular services, some by as much as 50%."  This from the man that claimed he would have more preventive medicine and save Billions and Billions of dollars through early treatment.  In particular outpatient imaging is targeted for big cuts, and this is one of the best tools for early diagnosis of heart disease  Many of the tests will now have to be done at hospitals at higher costs and higher out of pocket expense.  I guess those who can't pay the higher fees will just get worse and die. Thanks Democrats.  I thought you were not cutting Medicare.  And this isn't even the healthcare bill yet.  This is just a warm up.  I'm totally disgusted.  Can you see why?  Vote Democrat  and die before your time.  Like the ad on TV says - WE WON'T FORGET, EVER! 
 
I do not wish to receive a patronizing response telling me how good this is going to be for me.  The American people are not stupid!
                                                                                                                                Respectfully
                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                              Sign, don't print - your name

 

 

Not even the great science fiction writer Ben Bova could come up with a theme for the greatest scientific hoax in history.  That's because Bova has always been a proponent of man-made global warming and has continually belittled the skeptics.  Too bad, because all the markings for a best selling thriller were there for the taking. 

 

The AGW bubble has burst.  ClimateGate, as it has now been dubbed, is full of deceit, fraud, conspiracies, overstatements, understatements and downright dirty and dishonest politics.  Many have called it a "shameful dark day for science,"  and at least one leading figure in the scandal has stepped down.  Public hearings are scheduled which could lead to others getting a well deserved pink slip. 

 

 All this comes into play as President Obama travels to Copenhagen in an attempt to commit the United States to a climate change treaty costing taxpayers billions of dollars.  While Obama is expected to sign away American sovereignty with his signature,  any treaty must be ratified by the United States Senate.  It is imperative that all Americans, who value their individual freedoms and liberty,  call their Senators and say "NO" to this treaty which is pure political posturing for a one-world socialist government and complete control over our lives. 

 

 What a shame there were no Woodwards and Bernsteins to break this story.  Why?   Because the press was just as guilty in promoting fictitious global warming as the crooked scientists and politicians.

WOW!  WHAT A LETTER!    Letter from one 'Angry Woman' .  I don't know who wrote it but they should have signed it. Some powerful words. This woman should run for president.Written by a housewife from New Jersey. This is one ticked off lady.   'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field inPennsylvania?   Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?   And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all.   I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.   I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about theHoly Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia   I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.   I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.   I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide .   I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution'sBill of Rights.   In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.   When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.   When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank: I don't care.   When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.   And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care!!   If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!   If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:   'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem' -- Ronald Reagan   I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all this.   'If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under' Also by.. Ronald Reagan   One last thought for the day:   In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said: 'A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in.. And how many want out.' ask yourself how many boats are leaving our shores for another place to live.I have a $100.00 for every boat with 4 or more people and you  in it leaving this great country.   Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:  1. Jesus Christ  2. The American G. I.   One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.   YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM.

Another letter sent by one of our members.

 

Dear Senator,

Social Security began in 1935. It is mandatory, we can't opt out. (payroll tax collections will begin to exceed benefits paid in 2016 and it will go bankrupt by 2040 or sooner)

Medicare starts in 1965. Our seniors are now dependant on it. AARP gladly fills in the gaps with their insurance plan (No conflict of interest there? Anyone wonder why they are so tickled to support a bill that will cut Medicare Advantage benefits by $500 BILLION?)
Americans were promised Medicare would cost 12 billion by 1990 - it was 90 billion. It is now $468 billion.

Now we are handed a 1.2 trillion dollar (we all know it will be more) Health-care bill that unconstitutionally forces us to buy insurance or face fines and jail-time. Yet, Insurance companies are still not allowed to compete across state lines, and there is NO tort-reform. It appears to me that you don't really want insurance companies to compete and bring costs down or even to survive. It appears to me that the Progressive liberals in this nation want them to fail so we can have a single-payer system in this country. I get it. But this is not what we want.

This is not what Americans want, even if it is what YOU want. You are there to represent us. Remember?

I am asking that you would give us a bill that allows "across state lines" competition, tort reform, lower premiums, and guarantee affordable insurance even with pre-existing conditions.

Please do not allow another 111 federal agencies to be formed because of a government, public option.
Please do NOT force us to buy health insurance or be fined or jailed.
Please do not hand us another big-government-run, money-sucking, personally invasive, inefficient department in the name of helping those who need insurance.
Please let the President find his "legacy" some other way, besides giving us a bill that most college graduates cannot understand, and few representatives can even read.

Thankyou, Debbie K.
